Hua Yueye sighed, somewhat embarrassed as he lowered his head and said, "Father, from childhood to adulthood, you've never allowed me to go to one place, that's the small house in the backyard. What exactly is in there?"
"That place, it's just some useless lumber, so it's not very good." King Rui said in a hurry, his eyes averted to the side.
After that, he gave a bitter smile. "I'm a little tired, let's stop here for today."
"Father, you should rest early." Hua Yueye originally wanted to say something else, but seeing his expression, he could only agree and quickly walked out.
In the darkness, a figure wearing black night clothes flashed by. He quickly ran to Hua Yueye's side and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, should we send someone to check on King Rui?"
"Check." Hua Yueye coldly looked into the distance, his expression suddenly becoming very serious. He took out a token. "Take this item and get the sect disciples to pay attention to King Rui's movements."
"Yes." The black-clothed person nodded and quickly disappeared into the night.
At this time, Su Qingwen had already opened the item Shen Lingyun had given her. It was a drawing, but she didn't understand it at all.
What was that strange drawing? She really couldn't understand it at all.
[System: Darling, why don't we wait for Hua Yueye to come back and discuss it together.]
"Yes, makes sense." Su Qingwen nodded and continued to pat her head. She asked in confusion, "Then now, have I completed the mission? After all, I've already found this drawing."
[System: Although it can't be considered that you found it yourself, you still put in some effort. For your points, I'll give you half, it's exactly five points. What do you think?]
At least there was some gain. Su Qingwen nodded in satisfaction. "That's good, but I really don't understand this drawing. It looks like something like the Taiji and the Eight Trigrams. What does King Rui want to do? Practice Taoism?"
Just as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open. Hua Yueye walked in with a gloomy expression, his face so dark that it seemed as if water could drip from it.
"Hua Yueye, quickly look, what is this item?" Su Qingwen waved her hand, beckoning Hua Yueye over.
"This, isn't it a drawing for the repair of the house? You caused such a huge ruckus just to steal this item?" Hua Yueye raised his eyebrows and asked with a hint of helplessness.
"Yes." She was quite straightforward, not even bothering to lie. "King Rui wants to repair the house for no reason and he even mobilized soldiers. It really doesn't make sense. So I wanted to start investigating from here. I didn't expect to accidentally find the corpses of those soldiers."
Su Qingwen propped her head up and felt more and more that King Rui was not simple.
"Right, weren't you talking to King Rui just now? Did you notice any clues?" Su Qingwen asked curiously.
"No." Hua Yueye shook his head. "Father is a person who has always done things without leaving a trace. Even if he did something bad, he would definitely do it without anyone knowing."
"Alright." Su Qingwen continued to look at the drawing in her hand. Her delicate eyebrows knitted together. "You should take a look at this drawing first and see if there's something mysterious about it. It feels like this thing has a round sky and a square earth. It's made very specially."
Hua Yueye received the item and carefully stared at it for a moment. He suddenly understood. "This is a Taiji and Eight Trigrams diagram. The layout of each room pays attention to symmetry. It's as if the entire house is arranged in the appearance of an altar."
This was a huge project, requiring a lot of material and financial resources. Did King Rui really want to change the feng shui?
"So mysterious?" Su Qingwen covered her lips and felt very surprised. "Your father also likes this kind of thing? Does he usually believe in Taoism?"
"No." Hua Yueye shook his head. His eyes were filled with doubt. In his memories, King Rui had always been an atheist, with no beliefs and he wouldn't do these kinds of messy things.
"However, we can't generalize. Maybe he changed and has some beliefs." Su Qingwen waved her hand and guessed. "Actually, this is understandable. If he wants to make his house look like that, he can make it look like that. Even if you're the emperor, you can't interfere."
"Indeed." Hua Yueye gave a bitter smile. He carefully studied the drawing in his hand and suddenly noticed something. "Su Qingwen, remember the secret passage we saw just now? That place is exactly the center of this altar."
"What?" This time, Su Qingwen couldn't take all of this as a coincidence. She quickly ran to Hua Yueye's side and said in fear. "Your father must have done it on purpose. He placed so many corpses there. He must have some bad intentions."
"However, what exactly is the reason for all of this?" Hua Yueye stood straight and tightened the drawing in his hand.
Suddenly, he turned around. "Throughout history, there have been many monarchs who believed in Taoism. Because they all have a common thought." After saying that, Hua Yueye paused for a moment and his eyes became deep.
After his reminder, Su Qingwen also had a thought. "I know. It's immortality. Your father has quite a lot of ideas. He actually wants to be immortal. Could it be that he wants to be the emperor…"
Before she could finish speaking, Su Qingwen's face turned pale as she covered her lips. She knew that after she said this, it was equivalent to saying that King Rui was planning a rebellion. In any case, she couldn't say such things randomly.
Hua Yueye's face was dark green. He silently looked out of the window. Suddenly, he suddenly slapped the table and said hoarsely, "Now, there's no conclusion to the matter. Don't say such irresponsible things."
"Fine, I was just guessing. You just have to not believe it." Su Qingwen said as she blinked her eyes in grievance. These days, they didn't even allow people to tell the truth. It was really too pitiful.
"Also, you obtained this item so quickly?" Hua Yueye squinted his eyes. He examined her with a scrutinizing gaze. His eyes were filled with a doubtful look.
King Rui was such a smart and careful person. He actually allowed Su Qingwen to easily find the drawing for the repair of the house. It was too unbelievable.
"This, perhaps it's because I'm too lucky." Su Qingwen avoided his gaze. Her face turned slightly red.
"Humph, it's Shen Lingyun secretly helping you again, right? Su Qingwen, I'm warning you for the last time. Stay away from that man. Don't think that he's gentle and graceful. Maybe he has a deeper intention than you can imagine!" Hua Yueye coldly harrumphed and said very unhappily.
Su Qingwen curled her lips. Hua Yueye was really good at making jealousy sound elegant.
