"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I live well in the palace these days. Servants in the courtyard serve me well." Yang Zijin smiled and said.

Hearing this, Yan Ji nodded, "OK. Since you plan to go back tomorrow, I will not deter you. Today I will arrange a send-off feast for you in the palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hearing this, Yang Zijin bent slightly and replied.

Yan Ji arranged the dinner party to display his prestige. If she refused him, she would offend Yan Ji, so she agreed with his proposal.

Yan Ji added, "I heard that two guards had accompanied you to come here. You are all guests. If you don't mind, ask them to take part in the feast in the palace tonight?"

Yan Ji said and looked at Yang Zijin with a smile.

He sent people to monitor Snowy House these two days, but nothing suspicious was found. Therefore, he wanted to ask them to come here and used the dinner party to test them.

"Since so, I won't refuse it." Yang Zijin said with a smile.

She knew what Yan Ji thought about.

"It is cold outside. Go into the carriage, Infanta Qingcheng." Seeing Yang Zijin agree with him, Yan Ji continued.

Yang Zijin nodded, went into the carriage, and went out of the imperial mausoleum to the imperial palace!

Then Yan Ji went back to the imperial palace.

Pei Moning in the dark saw this, frowned, and thought about whether the ceremony had ended.

He thought about why he returned to the imperial palace and what the Emperor of Beiling said just now.

Pei Moning was thinking about it. At this time, Yang Zijin picked up the curtain and made a gesture to the outside.

Yang Zijin had known Pei Moning would worry about them and he had observed here near the imperial mausoleum.

Yang Zijin did this to make her elder brother know that she was safe!

Observing the carriage, Runyu touched Pei Moning with his hand and said in a low voice, "Look at this."

Pei Moning looked at what Runyu pointed at and felt relieved after seeing Yang Zijin's gesture.

"Let's go back." Runyu said.

Pei Moning nodded and left.

Yan Luo hiding in the dark saw them leave and frowned.

Seeing this, Liu Ling said to Yan Luo, "They are guards who came to Beiling with Infanta Qingcheng, Your Highness!"

"Guards?" Yan Luo felt confused.

If they were her guards, Qingcheng must be capable. From how those two men left, the man in white had strong martial skills. Although the other man wasn't stronger than the man in white, he still had strong martial skills.

Liu Ling nodded, "Yes, Your Highness. I saw them when Infanta Qingcheng entered the city before."

"OK." Yan Luo replied.

When they left, Yan Luo kneeled towards where the imperial mausoleum was.

Seeing this, Yan Lingjun and Liu Ling hurried to kneel.

Yan Luo looked at the imperial mausoleum and said, "Father, I have waited for the chance. Once I find the treasure, I will bring back your throne."

Meanwhile, Yan Luo kowtowed in the direction of the imperial mausoleum.

Yan Luo looked at Yan Lingjun on one side, so Yan Lingjun also kowtowed and said, "Imperial Grandpa, you can count on me. When I take back the throne, I will be a good emperor like you to seek happiness for people."

"Your Highness and Commandery Prince, those guards come here. We need to leave quickly." Liu Ling saw guards come here and said to Yan Luo and Yan Lingjun.

Yan Luo and Yan Lingjun then stood up. Yan Luo said, "OK, let's leave quickly."

Then they walked to one side.

Coming back from the imperial mausoleum, Pei Moning and Runyu jumped in over the wall from a sparsely populated area.

Although Yang Zijin was asked to stay in the palace by Yan Ji, Yan Ji still sent guards to monitor the surroundings of Snowy House.

To not be found by people sent by Yan Ji, they jumped in over the wall.

After sitting down for a while, they heard someone knock at the door.

Pei Moning glanced at Runyu and went to open the door.

Standing at the gate, Yingnuo asked Pei Moning to open the door and bent down with a smile, "Mr. Pei."

"What's up, Yingnuo?" Pei Moning looked at Yingnuo and asked.

Yingnuo nodded, turned to look not far away, and said, "People from the palace said the emperor invited you to take part in the feast in the palace."

"Feast? What feast?" Hearing this, Pei Moning frowned and asked.

Yingnuo said with a smile, "It should be a send-off feast."

"A send-off feast? OK, I see. Ask them to wait for a while. We will go there later." Hearing the send-off feast mentioned by Yingnuo, Pei Moning nodded and said to Yingnuo.

Yingnuo bent down slightly, "OK."

Pei Moning closed the door and walked to the front of Runyu, "Runyu, someone from the palace…"

"I have heard it." Runyu looked at Pei Moning and said.

Pei Moning asked tentatively, "Are you going to take part in the feast, Runyu?"

Runyu preferred silence but the feast must be noisy, so he wouldn't be willing to go there.

"When?" Runyu asked.

Hearing what Runyu said, Pei Moning smiled and said, "They have waited outside."

"Let's go." Runyu said and stood up with his sword.

Seeing this, Pei Moning ran to the gate, opened the door, and said, "This way, Runyu."

He never thought Runyu would agree with it quickly. He had thought he needed to spend time persuading him. These days Yang Zijin and Jiang Wei stayed in the palace. Although he knew Emperor of Beiling wouldn't hurt them, he couldn't stop feeling worried.

People from the palace invited them to take part in the feast and this hit the spot.

Thinking of this, they walked outside.

Going out of Snowy House, they went into the carriage to the palace.

Arriving at the gate of the imperial palace, the guard soldiers walked to the carriage where Runyu and Pei Moning sat and said, "Young Masters, please get off and have a check!"

They looked at each other and got out of the carriage.

One soldier went into the carriage to have a check. Pei Moning gave a stare at those people because the carriage was sent by themselves.

They pretended to have a check.

After a while, the guard who checked the carriage got down and said to the guard at the palace gate, "Your Excellency, everything is safe!"

Hearing this, Minister Gu nodded, walked to Pei Moning and Runyu, and said, "I am sorry to bother you. Please don't mind it because it is a normal practice to enter the imperial palace. Even ministers need to be checked when they take part in the levee every day."

"If you finish the check, we will leave." Hearing this, Pei Moning didn't respond to him and turned to walk to the carriage as well as said.

Minister Gu continued, "Wait."

"Haven't you finished your check? Anything wrong?" Pei Moning turned and said impatiently.

Minister Gu walked forward and said with a smile, "I'm sorry. The carriage has been checked, but your sword shouldn't be taken into the palace."

Minister Gu said and glanced at the sword in Runyu's hand.

Hearing this, Pei Moning frowned and was surprised that Minister Gu wanted to let Ghost Immortal leave his sword, because his sword never left him.

It was impossible to let Ghost Immortal leave his sword!

Minister Gu walked to the front of Runyu and said with a smile, "Rest assured, Young Master. We will watch the sword for you and you can take it back when you go out of the palace."

"What if I say no?" After he heard what Minister Gu said, Runyu stared at Minister Gu with cold eyes and asked him.

Hearing this, Minister Gu felt surprised and said with a smile, "Don't make it difficult for us, Young Master. We just do it according to the rules!"

Minister Gu added.

Seeing this, Pei Moning walked forward, "Your Excellency, my friend began to practice using the sword at an early age and he is closely related to his sword. How about…"

"Young Master, please persuade your friend. Don't make it difficult for us." Before Pei Moning finished, Minister Gu said.

Runyu held his sword tightly and stared at Minister Gu. It seemed that he didn't want to have a negotiation.

When Minister Gu saw this, his smile disappeared and he looked at Runyu cautiously, "Since you are stubborn, don't blame me."

"Go to take the sword from him." Minister Gu said to the guard at the gate.

Hearing this, those guards replied with their hands cupped, "Yes!"

They walked to Runyu and held out their hands to seize Runyu's sword.

However, the sword in Runyu's hand seemed to be alive. Every time those guards wanted to seize the sword, they almost touched it but missed.

Seeing this, Minister Gu was irritated and shouted, "Go to put them…"

"It's unnecessary to do so, Minister Gu. They are guests from Dongling and follow the order to take part in the feast in the palace. If he isn't willing to do so, let it go." Before Minister Gu finished, the man, who went to invite Runyu and Pei Moning, walked forward and interrupted.

Hearing this, Minister Gu was in a dilemma and said, "Zhan Qi, I'm afraid that I will be punished if I let it go."

"Don't worry, Minister Gu. I will tell it to the emperor. We shouldn't let it ruin the relationship. As the old saying goes, people shouldn't scramble for things that others like. If he isn't willing to do so, we shouldn't offend them." Zhan Qi said to Minister Gu.

Hearing what Zhan Qi said, Minister Gu hesitated and waved his hand, "Leave."
