"Don't worry, I embedded this piece of gold in it, but I regretted it the day after it was completed. But there are so many people coming and going here, I'm really embarrassed to take it back..."

Having said this, Ji Lingyu smiled, and then opened the bandage covering her eyes, revealing a pair of gray-blue pupils, which looked very beautiful on her face.

"Although my eyesight is bad, even if I am completely blind, I can still touch this place."

After listening to it in a daze, Chu Lingyue smiled awkwardly. Since she was still busy, she was about to pull her up and leave when she heard her say:

"Good boy, can you take me back? That bastard Ji Beiye always runs away without a trace. If you go, he will definitely show up."

Hearing this, Chu Lingyue frowned.

The person in front of me looks to be one or two years older than me at most, yet he actually calls me a "good boy"?

Also, why did she sound so weird when she suddenly mentioned Ji Beiye?

"Come on, come on, good boy, you know where he is."

Ji Lingyu had a firm attitude, but Chu Lingyue couldn't resist and had no choice but to obey.

The other party walked very slowly. Although Zuixiang Tower was clearly in front of her, she felt like she had walked for half an hour.

"Your name is Chu Siyue?" Ji Lingyu suddenly said.

Chu Lingyue said "hmm" and had no intention of continuing the sentence. Unexpectedly, Ji Lingyu chuckled and said, "What do you think of Ji Beiye?"

"Huh?" Chu Lingyue was stunned.

The people around him couldn't stop laughing: "I think he likes to be close to you."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Lingyue's pupils dilated.

This person next to him is known to everyone in Guheji as Ji Beiye's sweetheart!

What did she mean by this?

"You misunderstood." To avoid suspicion, she couldn't help but add another sentence: "The master of the pavilion is wise and powerful. He manages Guheji very well. He is kind to everyone and he is also a person that everyone respects."

After saying that, she saw that Ji Lingyu was still smiling and curled her lips dissatisfied.

What's going on with this woman? She's just a man, and it seems like everyone is thinking about her?

Hiding her displeasure, Chu Lingyue replied smoothly: "I'm already married."

Although there are many men in the world, except for Chu Banshi, none of them have ever been born to her, Chu Lingyue!

"Okay, it's better to be married. Ji Beiye also has a child."

Thinking that the person next to her was still warning her, Chu Lingyue became increasingly impatient and replied coldly: "I know."

Fortunately, just after entering Zuixiang Building, Ji Beiye happened to come down from upstairs.

Can't wait to hand over this hot potato to him, she suppressed her annoyance and said: "For the sake of safety, it would be better for the Pavilion Master to have a few followers around her in the future."

Not wanting to stay for a second longer, she was pulled by Ji Lingyu's hand towards Ji Beiye.

"My dear grandson, look what grandma has brought back for you? A daughter-in-law!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Lingyue turned to stone on the spot.

Grandma?!

Ji Beiye raised his eyebrows, saw her unhappy face, and suddenly smiled, "How do you know that your grandson likes Empress Wu very much?"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to shake it, but Chu Lingyue was so surprised that he quickly retracted his hand.

Forcibly calming down, she forced out a fake smile: "You two were joking. Since we have found it for you, I will leave first."

The moment he stepped out of Zuixiang Tower, the evil look in Chu Lingyue's eyes became heavier.

If that woman is really Ji Beiye's grandmother, she must have taken forbidden drugs in exchange for the ability to stay young forever.

But the origin of banned drugs lies in the Wu clan, so are she and Ji Beiye also from Chili?

On the other side of her suspicion, Ji Lingyu rubbed her eyes with a smile: "She is exactly the same as my old friend."

Hearing this, Ji Beiye laughed and clasped her hands behind her back: "Who said she is the biological daughter of your old friend?"

For just a moment, Ji Lingyu's smile froze.

Soon, she became a little unserious: "In this case, you should snatch her away from Lin Ce."

"Grandma, don't you really think that a woman is worth letting Lin Ce take the initiative to break the agreement? What's more, there are rumors circulating in the city in the past two days that Lin Ce has another sweetheart, and the Witch Queen may not be sincere. Grandma is really confused.

Already."

…

Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people around during the day, Chu Lingyue slipped into the Lingyin Building, successfully sneaked into He Zhiqing's room, entered the secret room from the view, and launched her own investigation.

The first thing she checked was He Zhiqing's letters.

It turns out that the same component created by Lu Chenyu is the "confidant" of He Zhiqing's entire secret room. As long as this thing is found, the secret room can be destroyed at will.

But Chu Beibei got this drawing from the Empress Dowager Tang. What did the Empress Dowager Tang do with such a thing?

Most of the manuscripts contained finished drawings of machine parts, accompanied by his experience in drawing machine drawings, and finally embellished with a somewhat sage-like saying. The content on each page was so exciting that Chu Lingyue did not dare to miss a single word.

Finally, she found a clue in the last few pages of the manuscript.

"Mr. Sikong is a good teacher. I really hope to be his student forever. Unfortunately, life is always like this. I'm sorry, teacher, the only thing a student can do is to record the principles you taught me and teach them to more people in the future.

"

This is the last paragraph written by He Zhiqing.

For a second, she thought that Mr. Sikong he was referring to was Sikong You in the letter, and she quickly found the letter and read the contents.

The letter was sent by Sikong You and contained only one sentence: I wish you a bright future.

Seeing that there were no useful clues here, Chu Lingyue began to search in other places.

Half an hour later, in addition to digging out the evidence, blueprints and secret letters that He Zhiqing made the machine tools for the Empress Dowager Tang, she also found a pile of exquisite machine drawings and nearly seventy books on machinecraft.

Considering that these things were given by Zhang Jianzi and that Lu Chenyu might not have been exposed to them, she used Gu worms to extract the contents. By the way, she also took away a few materials that Zhang Jianzi had taken that night and put them into the soul room, planning to give them to her as well.

Lu Chenyu.

I thought there was nothing new here. Chu Lingyue was moving in the secret room and accidentally hit the small stone platform in the middle of the secret room. With a click, a cupboard appeared on the ground opposite.

I went to check it out and found out that they were all cosmetic gadgets and some books that were of little use.

What caught her eye was the locked drawer at the top.

After struggling to climb up, I saw that it was actually a mechanical lock.

This machine lock looked very complicated. Chu Lingyue was determined that there was no way to take it away. She found a hammer and smashed it to pieces with two clicks.

I thought there was some shocking secret hidden inside, but it turned out that there was a bloody bellyband and a pair of dirty little dancing shoes.

Underneath is a thick stack of picture albums that are both unsightly and indescribable. If you flip through them casually, you will see that the protagonists are all tiny.

With her brows furrowed, Chu Lingyue put these things back to their original places and used the venom to corrode the mechanism lock. Finally, the entire cabinet was made old and dirty. She saw mold spots on it with her own eyes before touching the mechanism and taking it back.

Following the secret passage that Zhang Jianzi left that day, Chu Lingyue couldn't help but sigh again when she found herself in a small alley behind Lingyin Building and facing the river.

It would be a pity for a genius like Zhang Jianzi to have no successor.

After returning to Prince Jing's Mansion, she never left the house again.

While cultivating medicinal materials in the secret realm, she was always thinking about several things.

If He Zhiqing served the Empress Dowager Tang like this, she might be bribed with more than just money.

The drawing of the "heart" of the secret room is with her, which shows that she also knows the weakness of this secret room. If He Zhiqing created such a large secret room just to study the secret technique, it is not necessary.

In other words, there must be something hidden in the secret room of the agency that she has not found. This thing must be related to the Empress Dowager Tang. Otherwise, someone like her who takes care of everything will never risk being exposed.

Fengxian, who had grasped the situation, kept the drawing with him.

Putting aside these troubles for the time being, Chu Lingyue focused her thoughts on Tang Shiling.

The relationship between her and He Zhiqing may not be what Mingyin sees.

The direction of what is locked in that drawer is already very obvious.

Silent for half a day.

After leaving the secret realm, Chu Lingyue lay flat on the bed and thought about what to do next.

Unexpectedly, the window moved slightly, and within three seconds, someone came to her side.

The familiar fragrance hits your nose.

Chu Lingyue raised her hand to grab the other person's hand that was about to touch hers, and said in a calm voice: "You are really not worried about living up to my reputation as an 'adulterer'."

Chu Ban, who thought she was asleep, was obviously startled.

Hearing the familiar taunt, he snorted and leaned against the bedside: "I will be back tomorrow, specifically to remind you."

Turning over and facing away from him, Chu Lingyue's voice never fluctuated: "You may not underestimate me, I naturally know what you are going to do, or are you afraid that I will misunderstand something?"

After hearing this, Chu came down from the side hall, raised his hand to pinch her face, and said close to her ear: "I am the master of Yulongsi, it is really funny to see that my own woman relies solely on cheating."

Bang, Chu Lingyue knocked his hand away and then turned around. The only light in the outer hall could only illuminate sporadic light.
