Upon seeing this, Liu Ling arched his hand and asked Yang Zijin, "Your Highness, you should know who that person is, right?"

"Of course. By the way, did that person notice you?" Yang Zijin asked Liu Ling.

After hearing this, Liu Ling recalled about it and then replied, "No."

"Are you sure?" Yang Zijin asked.

Liu Ling nodded at this moment, "I'm sure!"

"Well. That's good." Yang Zijin said with a smile.

Liu Ling couldn't help but feel a little confused. He asked with a look of doubt, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"As I expected, that person should be the follower of Yan Ji." Yang Zijin said.

After hearing this, Liu Ling frowned slightly, "The follower of Yan Ji?"

"Yes. I guess my coming to Beiling made him suspicious. Go back to tell aunt. If there is nothing urgent, don't let her come to me. After the death anniversary of the deceased emperor, I will try to reunite with you." Yang Zijin nodded and said.

Then, Yang Zijin walked to the bed, opened the baggage she had brought, took out half of the parchment scroll, and walked to Liu Ling.

"Leave this to aunt. You can plan the route first, and then we will go to find it together." Yang Zijin then handed the parchment scroll to Liu Ling.

Liu Ling took the parchment scroll and then looked at the map. He smiled, held the parchment scroll, and then looked at Yang Zijin excitedly. "Your Highness, is this the other half of the treasure map?"

"Yes. It's getting late. You should go back quickly, or aunt will worry about you." Yang Zijin nodded and then said to Liu Ling.

Then, Liu Ling responded, "Well, you must be careful, Your Highness."

Then, Liu Ling walked to Yang Zijin and whispered in her ear how to contact them.

After hearing, Yang Zijin nodded. Liu Ling bowed to Yang Zijin and then jumped out of the window.

After Liu Ling left, Yang Zijin couldn't help but frown. It seemed that she needed to investigate this Snowy House.

As for Yan Ji, she could safely ignore him and just did what she was supposed to do as usual.

Now that Yan Ji knew that she had arrived in Beiling, he would have someone pick her up tomorrow, which would save her trouble.

...

"Your Majesty." At this moment, a man entered the palace and walked straight to Yan Ji's bedroom. He bowed and knelt.

It was the man that Liu Ling saw during the daytime. And he was one of Yan Ji's trusted guards, named Cang Qiong.

Hearing the sound, Yan Ji sat up from the bed. He was wearing a loose nightgown, and his hair was hanging messily on his forehead. Yan Ji was more than forty, but he looked lethargic rather than old.

Yan Ji looked at Cang Qiong kneeling on the ground, and then he asked, "Are they in Jing City now?"

"Yes, they arrived in the city this afternoon." Cang Qiong nodded and said.

Then Yan Ji asked again, "How many people are following Infanta Qingcheng?"

"Your Majesty, there is a maid following the infanta and two men, both of whom are martial artists. And their skills seem to be excellent." Cang Qiong continued.

Yan Ji raised his mouth slightly at this time, "This Infanta Qingcheng is really courageous. She has only taken three people on the long journey from Dongling to Beiling."

After saying this, Yan Ji then asked, "Where do they stay?"

"Snowy House." Cang Qiong raised his head and looked at Yan Ji.

After hearing what Cang Qiong said, Yan Ji frowned slightly and then said meaningfully, "Snowy House? This is not an easy place to enter."

Yan Ji naturally knew Snowy House. And he had been investigating the owner of Snowy House. But for so many years, there had been no progress, and the owner of Snowy House had never appeared.

"Your Majesty, when the infanta's carriage entered the city, they walked straight to Snowy House as if they had appointed in advance." At this time, Cang Qiong said to Yan Ji.

Yan Ji frowned tightly. He couldn't help being filled with doubts. It was the first time for Infanta Qingcheng to come to Beiling. She should be unfamiliar with Beiling at all, but how could she arrange it in advance?

Thinking of this, Yan Ji was full of doubts. Could it be that Infanta Qingcheng really had something to do in Beiling? If it was true, it would be a disguise to pay homage to the deceased emperor.

Soon, Yan Ji denied his guess again. It was said that Infanta Qingcheng had been left out in folk places since she was a child, and she had regained her identity recently. If she came in the name of paying homage to the deceased emperor, what was her real intention?

Over these years, even though he killed Yan He and took his throne, he still felt uneasy.

Previously, the Empress of Dongling returned to Beiling, and it was the day when Yan He was killed. Later, Empress Dowager met the Empress who was giving birth, and she took her daughter back to Dongling.

At that time, he didn't want to keep any offspring of Yan He. Because Empress Dowager had been already married to Dongling and he didn't dare to offend more, he saved the baby.

But, later, he would have nightmares every night, dreaming that a girl would come to him for revenge. He had been tortured all the time.

He ordered people to go to Dongling and reported the movements of Yan He's daughter. Fortunately, when he knew that Yan He's daughter was killed on the way, he was relieved.

However, the nightmare still didn't disappear. Over time, it became a scar in his heart.

Now, he did not expect that Yan He’s daughter would give birth to a little girl. She came back to Dongling a few days ago and regained her identity, named Qingcheng. She married Shuo Ling who was the famous master in Dongling. And now, it was said that Infanta Qingcheng came to Beiling to pay homage to the deceased emperor.

It made Yan Ji feel vigilant.

Then, Yan Ji said to Cang Qiong, "Get up. The anniversary of the deceased emperor is approaching. Tomorrow morning, you arrange some people to pick up the infanta to the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cang Qiong answered and then stood up.

Yan Ji then ordered, "Send someone to stare at them and see if this infanta may be in contact with others."

"Yes." Cang Qiong nodded and then stepped back.

After Cang Qiong went out, Yan Ji lay on the bed and then closed his eyes.

Hearing Cang Qiong said that Infanta Qingcheng only brought a few followers, he felt that he worried too much.

Then he fell asleep.

For a while, Yan Ji violently awakened and sat up from the bed. He panted heavily, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

Then, he lay on the bed again, thinking about the dream just now. This dream was different from the previous ones. In the previous dream, all he had heard was the girl's voice. Today, he actually saw the girl's figure.

She came to stab him with a sword. When he tried to see what the girl looked like, he woke up suddenly.

As soon as he closed his eyes, it would appear the situation that the girl wanted to kill him, which made Yan Ji uncomfortable.

After he returned to his senses, a trace of killing intent flashed in Yan Ji's eyes.

No matter why this Infanta Qingcheng came to Beiling, he would never allow her to return to Dongling smoothly after she had paid homage to Yan He.

When he thought of this, the killing intent in Yan Ji's eyes became heavier.

At this time in Yan Luo's place

Seeing Liu Ling returned, Yan Luo asked him, "How is it? Have you met Her Highness?"

"Yes, here it is, Your Highness." As he said, Liu Ling took the parchment scroll out and handed it to Yan Luo.

Yan Luo saw the parchment scroll in Liu Ling's hand and quickly took it over. She put it on her chest, looking excited, "After all these years, I finally got it."

With that said, Yan Luo walked to the side and removed a box from a secret compartment. She took the box to the table, opened it, and took out the other half of the parchment scroll from the box. The two parchment scrolls were put together perfectly.

Seeing this, Liu Ling couldn't help but say, "Congratulations, Your Highness."

"What did Qingcheng say?" Yan Luo put the parchment scroll into the box at this time and then asked Liu Ling.

Liu Ling replied, "Her Highness said that after the anniversary of the deceased emperor, she will come to see us. And she let us not meet her if we have nothing important during this period."

"Qingcheng is well considerate. So, where do they live?" Yan Luo nodded and then asked Liu Ling.

Liu Ling paused slightly at this time and then replied, "Snowy House."

"Snowy House?" Yan Luo frowned tightly upon hearing Liu Ling's words and asked him.

Liu Ling nodded.

Yan Luo couldn't help thinking at this moment, and then she asked with a look of confusion, "Does Qingcheng know people from Snowy House?"

"I asked Her Highness about this specifically, and Her Highness didn't know about the situation. But now, the people in Snowy House have no malice towards Her Highness." Liu Ling said.

Then Yan Luo nodded, "That's all right."

"Your Highness, when I was in Jing City today, I found that others were waiting for Her Highness." Liu Ling said at this time.

After Yan Luo listened, her eyes narrowed slightly. And then she looked at Liu Ling and said, "If I guessed correctly, that man should be the follower of Yan Ji."

"When I talked to Her Highness, Her Highness also said the same. And she told me to ignore it." Liu Ling said to Yan Luo.

After Yan Luo listened, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but raise slightly, "Although I haven't met Qingcheng, from what you just said, she is a very smart girl."

"Your Highness will be able to see Her Highness after the death anniversary of the deceased emperor." Liu Ling said at this moment.

Yan Luo nodded with a smile at this time and then said to Liu Ling, "Tomorrow morning, let your father convene people here. We will discuss the next action."

"Yes, Your Highness." Liu Ling arched his hands at this moment.

And then, he retreated.

After Liu Ling left, Yan Luo put the box back in the secret compartment, and then she couldn't help but smile.

After waiting for so long, they finally had hope. When they found the treasure, they would directly rush into Jing City, force Yan Ji to abdicate, and announce his crime to the world.

If Yan Ji didn't admit his crime, they would kill him at that time. Although Yan Ji killed his father and suppressed the throne, after so many years, she only wanted to get back what belonged to her.

She hated Yan Ji who was so cruel to his brothers. She also wanted to kill Yan Ji personally and wash away the hatred that had been in her heart for so many years.
