ade farewell to Xie Jin, and brought some of the food Tie Ji prepared for her to carry around, exhorting her, "It's very cold outside, put on more clothes, you need to take care of yourself outside, don't drink raw water, and carefully take advantage of your stomach …"

Although Yue Ying's words were long-winded, Xie Jin was intoxicated by them. She really hoped that she could follow him, but unfortunately, he knew that if she continued to pester her, she would definitely not have such a good expression.

"When you get to the place, remember to write to me. Don't let others keep thinking about you. I'll take care of your parents on the way. Rest assured!"

Xie Jin reluctantly said her goodbyes to Yue Ying, and followed behind the group that was escorting him out of Donghu People, he did not know what her future path would be like, as long as Yue Ying remembered him, she would bury this sincere feeling in the depths of her heart. When she felt lonely, she would slowly taste it all by herself.

This was the first time she accepted Xie Jin as a friend ever since she came to this world. His heart was as lonely as hers, and if one were to say why Yue Ying viewed him differently, it would be that he was good at acting pitiful, and let her sympathy flood over him. But now that she had left, perhaps in the future, he would stand at a very high place, where others would admire him, and not need anyone to pity him anymore …

Yue Ying was very disappointed, she silently urged her horse forward and galloped.

Place of birth! Would he still be able to return to his birthplace? The hope was very slim!

They came to a small town to rest. When Qingmei saw Yue Ying's ugly expression, she advised, "It's normal for men to have three wives, not to mention that her family is different from the others, it's useless for you to be angry."

Yue Ying impatiently knocked the table with her chopsticks, "I'm not angry, I'm just a little annoyed. Why is he always looking for trouble with me?!"

Yue Yong suddenly interrupted, "Shouldn't the royal family be careful when marrying off their wives? Why is it that Princess Anle's wedding is so urgent, don't you guys think it's strange that there's no news about it before? "

Qing Mei said, "Didn't they say that the emperor took a fancy to General Tie's temperament and demeanor, so he gave the order for the marriage?"

Yue Ying was unconvinced, "But we already exchanged marriage letters, why would the princess be ahead of me?"

Qing Mei did not say another word, and only looked at Yue Ying strangely. Yue Yong was right, there was no need to quickly marry someone with a noble princess identity.

"This isn't right." Yue Ying looked at Qing Mei and said: "Something must have happened in the palace, I might have to bring Tie Yi to fill the vat."

Yue Ying suddenly stood up, "No, I have to find a way to meet him and ask him about this matter."

Yue Yong said softly, "The palace is tightly guarded, it would not be easy to enter. Furthermore, I don't know where little general is locked up, and if they were to barge in, what will happen if they find out?"

Yue Ying was silent!

The danger was obvious, he would definitely regret it if he did not go. Maybe Tie Yi had his reasons?

"I still want to go to the palace and take a look. The two of you wait for me outside." Yue Ying decided to scout the Imperial Palace at night.

"I'll go with you."

"No need, I'm better hiding by myself. If there are more people, it will be easier to alert them. You guys stay outside the palace and help me. If anything happens, it'll be easy for me to escape by myself."

Yue Ying had already made up her mind. No matter how many times Qing Mei objected him, she would just ride the horse and turn back.

Just like what Tie Ji had said, Zhou Guizhi had deliberately let Yue Ying escape.

The sky was still early, so they first went to find an inn to rest. They waited until midnight before they explored the palace to meet Tie Yi.

At dusk, a strange man came to the blacksmith's shop in South City.

He walked in front of the blacksmith and took out a blueprint, "Can you make this?"

The blacksmith looked at it. It was a crossbow, and although he could fight, it took a lot of effort.

"When do you want it?"

"Six hours later."

The blacksmith grinned, "Why are you playing tricks on me. This thing is strictly forbidden by the government. Even if I could fight it, I wouldn't be able to do it within a day."

"I don't need to be that precise. As long as you can use it, this is yours." Yue Yong took out a silver ingot and placed it in front of him, "This is only a deposit, six hours later I will come to retrieve the goods, and when I come to retrieve the goods, it will be doubled, which is your overtime pay. Of course, if you were to tell anyone else about this, the one who will suffer is yourself."

The blacksmith knew that he couldn't reject this job. The man in front of him wasn't a merciful person, it was just that the overtime was so strange!

Six hours later, just after midnight, that strange man arrived on time.

"The thing you want has been completed and can shoot fifty steps." The blacksmith took an arrow and tested Yue Yong out in the backyard. Yue Yong paid up the rest of the money and quickly left.

Outside the palace, in a secluded place. A patrolling team passed by. A man dressed in a night attire rushed to the high walls of the palace. He shot an iron hook with a crossbow in his hand. The hook was tightly attached to the wall.

Yue Ying pulled the rope, it was not bad, it was tight, she took a deep breath and climbed up with the rope, and when she reached the top of the wall, she gave a signal for them to hide, and then went into the palace to look for Tie Yi.

She had no idea what the layout of the Imperial Palace was at all, she only thought about the structure of the Palace in the future and guessed the possible place Tie Yi would be locked in.

He definitely would not be locked in the harem, but he would still have to search in the front palace.

She secretly searched around the rooftop. Suddenly, she found a brightly lit palace. There were many people there, and she didn't know what they were busy with. She wondered if it had something to do with the princess' grand marriage, so she sneaked over.

Gently lifting up the roof tiles, Yue Ying saw that there was a bed below. A man wearing a dragon robe was sitting in front of the bed.

"Rong Rong, what key are you talking about?"

"I said …" As long as he saw it with his own eyes … See... Enjoying marriage... "I'll tell you."

Was this the reason for the princess's hasty marriage? Key? What the hell was that?

Yue Ying had a belly full of questions, but that face of hers looked as if she was going to die. If she were to see the princess getting married, Yue Ying could understand now.

Just as she was about to continue looking for Tie Yi, the emperor asked again, "Where's the treasure?"

The empress gritted her teeth. "Yue Shengchang … They said the location of the buried treasure... was drawn as a map... "In the past, it was always protected by a great official …"

"Mercy!" "Imperial Physician …"

There was another commotion.

Yue Shengchang? What a familiar name, a map? Treasure?

Yue Ying felt that her brain seemed to have grasped onto something.

She left the roof and looked around. As she passed a house, she heard a sigh from within. There were guards outside.
