When Li Qitian heard that a "monk" claimed to be an "old friend" and asked to see him, his heart was filled with suspicion. In the whole world, Tian Jizi was the only monk who dared to claim to be an old friend and ask to see him without fear of his Son of Heaven's prestige.
Li Qitian couldn't hide his anxiety. "What token are you talking about? Show it to me!"
"Yes." Seeing that Li Qitian was anxious, the imperial bodyguard hurriedly presented a brocade box.
When he opened it, there was a jade pendant in the brocade box. The familiar bamboo pattern and luster made Li Qitian suddenly stand up and shout angrily, "Quick! Catch that old thing for me! "
The imperial bodyguard was so frightened by Li Qitian that he trembled all over. He hurriedly saluted and rushed out in a hurry.
This jade pendant was given to Tian Jizi after Tian Jizi helped him, Pang Xiao, and Ji Zeyu predict the fortunes of Tian Jizi. The prediction at that time had been kept in Li Qitian's heart for many years. He was not the Ziwei Emperor Star, and this matter had always been troubling him.
In fact, he had wanted to kill Tian Jizi back then.
Although he gave the jade pendant to Tian Jizi in person, he immediately ordered people to hunt down Tian Jizi.
However, Tian Jizi was like a slippery loach that couldn't be caught.
At first, there was still some news about Tian Jizi, so he immediately ordered people to chase after him. However, they always came up empty-handed. Later, when he ascended the throne, Tian Jizi disappeared without a trace. Who knew that when she reappeared, she had already sought refuge with the Tatan.
Li Qitian was determined to kill Tian Jizi. Ever since he ordered people to quickly chase after him, Li Qitian's eyes were cold and his face was extremely unhappy.
Everyone present clearly saw Li Qitian's strange behavior. Even the Empress Dowager didn't dare to say anything. She slowly put down her ivory chopsticks.
Li Qitian saw that everyone was looking at him, so he said, "Tian Jizi appeared outside the palace gates. I have already ordered people to quickly arrest her. Previously, I heard from a reliable source that Tian Jizi has already sought refuge with the Utjin Khan and is wholeheartedly loyal to the Tatan. This time, she actually dared to appear in front of the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. She clearly has some ulterior motive. "
"Your Majesty is right....." ................................ Da........................... Tatan... be...........................
"There's no need for him to expose himself in order to gather information. This humble subject feels that she must be up to something big. "
Under Li Qitian's gaze, the officials were all extremely indignant and carried out the most malicious speculations about the arrival of Tianji Zi.
. Li Qitian listened to everyone's discussion, but he was very confident in his heart.
He didn't believe that Tian Jizi would have the ability to escape under his nose...
.......................................
They looked at each other and thought of the note they had received a few days ago.
Tian Jizi reminded Pang Xiao, "Stay in the residence and you will be safe."
But now that they had been ordered to attend the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, they had no choice but to leave their homes and go to the palace.
If that was really what Tian Jizi meant. Could it be that they were now in a trap?
Tian Jizi was cautious in her actions and her thoughts were treacherous. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to guess. Since she dared to appear, it meant that she was confident that they wouldn't be able to catch her. They didn't think that Li Qitian would be able to catch Tian Jizi. Qin Yining and Pang Xiao were most worried that they had fallen into a trap and didn't know it.
The Empress Dowager looked at the relatives who were no longer in the mood for the birthday banquet, and then looked at Li Qitian who only cared about catching Tian Jizi and didn't even care about her birthday banquet. She could only suppress the unhappiness in her heart.
The Empress Dowager still had to rely on Li Qitian for the rest of her life. How could she dare to make Li Qitian unhappy at this time? But as a mother, her mood was first disturbed by her daughter on the day of her birthday, and then she was ignored by her son. She couldn't calm down.
While everyone was anxiously waiting with their own thoughts, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside. A guard came in front of Li Qitian, knelt down, and presented a letter with both hands.
"Your Majesty, when we went out, the monk was already gone. He only left this letter. "
Li Qitian stared at the letter and gnashed his teeth in anger. In his heart, he had already cursed Tian Jizi for causing trouble.
He was worried that there was poison on the letter, so he ordered, "Li Guanwen, read it to zhen."
Li Guanwen smiled bitterly in his heart, but his face was calm and unperturbed. He looked as if he was facing death with awe. "This servant obeys."
He bowed and took the letter with both hands. He carefully tore it open, pulled out a thin piece of paper, and deftly unfolded it.
Li Guanwen looked at the words and hesitated. "Your Majesty?"
When Li Qitian saw this, he knew that the contents of the letter must be unusual. Seeing that Li Guanwen wasn't poisoned, he immediately waved at Li Guanwen.
Li Guanwen stepped forward and presented the letter to Li Qitian.
Li Qitian looked down and was immediately stunned by the short words on the letter.
Li Qitian snatched the letter and carefully read it again. His expression became more and more unfathomable.
The nobles present looked curiously at Your Majesty's reaction.
What was on the letter?
After a long time, Li Qitian finally snorted and laughed. He casually threw the letter to Li Guanwen. "Read it."
Li Guanwen heard this and immediately received the order. He read it in a hoarse and high-pitched voice that was unique to the chamberlains. "Yan Long Vein, at the bottom of Zong Mountain, on the ninth day of the ninth month, golden light appears."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Even the gloomy empress dowager's attention was attracted by the words on the letter.
"Dear officials, what do you think?"
An imperial relative said, "Your Majesty, this servant thinks this is impossible. Where is Zong Mountain? That place is not far from the capital. It is where the imperial tombs of Beiji are located. The Dayan dynasty is located in the south. How could the Dragon Vein of their country appear in the imperial tombs of Beiji? "
Someone else said, "Perhaps the Dragon Vein refers to the treasure of the Yan dynasty?"
"That's even more ridiculous."
"Yes, it's impossible."
Everyone present knew that Li Qitian had ordered people to surround the area that was hit hard by the earthquake. Even now, they were still searching inch by inch for the whereabouts of the treasure. Moreover, they were certain that the treasure must be hidden there. Under Li Qitian's close surveillance, the treasure couldn't have been quietly transported to the capital.
How could the treasure, which should be near the old capital of the Dayan dynasty, appear in the imperial tombs of Beiji?
"But wasn't there a rumor that the treasure appeared in the capital a while ago?" Someone else asked.
The officials began to discuss this matter.
Most people didn't believe that the treasure was hidden in the imperial tombs of Beiji.
However, there were also some people who thought that the rumor was baseless. The rumor that the treasure was in the capital must be traceable. Perhaps it was really hidden in Zong Mountain.
