Liao Zheng had the heart to return to see the figure that brought him a strange sense of familiarity just now, but the naïve Prince Yingchuan would not let him go.

Liao Zheng can only half push and half follow Murong Xu to go outside. He thought to himself that since he can’t escape anyway, it’s probably the same if he went to check it tomorrow.

The party walked away with great enthusiasm, and after a while, a person came out from the corridor. Yu Qingjia poked her head from behind the pillar, looked at Murong Yan who hadn’t talked or laughed ever since meeting this group of people. She looked at the corner of the corridor that still seemed to be full of people’s laughter, and couldn’t help but ask,

“Vixen, what are we looking at?”

They walked out not long ago, and before Yu Qingjia could even breathe a sigh of relief, she was pulled away by Murong Yan again and turned back around from the other side. She waa then snuck behind the pillar and was forced to listen to the other people’s conversation for a long time. She vaguely heard words like “Emperor” and “Banquet”, but nothing else. She is not sure why, but after seeing Murong Yan listening carefully, she also quietly stayed.

Now that the other side had already gone away, Yu Qingjia was finally able to breathe a long sigh of relief. This was the first time she did something like eavesdropping, she didn’t feel the excitement at all, but the embarrassment was almost overflowing.

Murong Yan stood in the corridor, his expression indistinguishable from happiness and anger. After a while, he calmly turned around and said,

“Let’s go.”

Yu Qingjia quickly responded and followed. The sash around her waist swirled around in the wind, and it mischievously swept over the back of Murong Yan’s hand several times. The two of them walked quietly for a while, when he suddenly asked,

“Was the one they call the Yu Beauty, you?”

Yu Qingjia was stunned for a moment, and her cheeks fiercely flushed,

“No!”

Yu Qingjia deliberately pretended to be Yu Qingya just now, and Murong Yan did not care about it, but he was haunted by the other piece of information that Murong Xu has revealed, and after seeing Yu Qingjia’s reaction, he became even more certain,

“What’s going on?”

Yu Qingjia still felt very embarrassed when someone personally asked about this kind of thing, even if the other party was a girl of the same age who has been with her all the way. She was still embarrassed to say it, but how could she argue with Murong Yan? She gave up after a while and said,

“It’s not something you can call honorable, it’s just when I was twelve years old, I met a group of children from other Noble families who came to visit in the mansion by chance. One of them was unscrupulous, and made a joke about it. Since our family name is Yu, he jokingly called me Yu Beauty, and then the word was spread later.”

Murong Yan nodded thoughtfully, then asked,

“Why didn’t I know that?”

The angle of this question was so strange that Yu Qingjia couldn’t figure out how to answer it for a while. She blushed and glared at Murong Yan in annoyance,

“They are just joking, and it’s not a good thing, why should I tell you?”

Murong Yan smiled and said nothing, a moment later, he said gently,

“It’s not necessarily a joke, But it’s true that these people don’t know the heights between the heaven and the earth.”

Yu Qingjia felt a little strange when she heard this, she was about to ask a follow-up question when she suddenly saw a person blocking her line of vision. Yu Qingjia swallowed her words back, while Murong Yan also stopped talking.

Yu Qingya hurriedly came over, looking anxious, and looked behind them several times,

“Sixth sister, where did you go just now?”

Of course Yu Qingjia wouldn’t say much, and only lightly said,

“We lost our way, so we took a detour behind. It took us a long time, and we just managed to come out now.”

Lost? Yu Qingya did not quite believe it. It was also her carelessness, that she got complacent because she had managed to snatch the accountant away that she almost forgot that the Prince of Yingchuan had come to Yanzhou around this time in her previous life. His sudden visit to the city even took the governor by surprise.

After that, all the major families in Gaoping County had endless banquets full of songs and dances. Yu Qingya was even invited to attend several of them a couple of times, so she had a very deep impression of it.

And now, She’s been standing inside the Buddhist Hall for a long time, when she heard a lady from one of the branch family muttering why she hasn’t seen the sixth young lady yet, and Yu Qingya immediately wakes up from her stupor. She looked around and found that Yu Qingjia was indeed not around. When she remembered that in her previous life, Yu Qingjia became Prince Langya’s consort, alarm bells suddenly went off in her mind. So she rushed out to look for her.

Her eyes looked at Yu Qingjia critically, such a gaze was extremely Impolite, but Yu Qingjia still smiled warmly, as if unaware of her scrutiny and said,

“Fourth sister, why did you come out? I was planning to ask someone to find out which incense room Yu Laojun was in, and I just happened to meet you.”

Yu Qingya looked for a moment and plastered a smile on her face,

“Yu Laojun is currently listening to the monk’s lecture regarding the Buddhist scriptures. When I found out that you were not there, I did not dare to say anything, and came out to look for you secretly. You also know that Yu Laojun devotes herself wholy to the Buddha, and she hates being disturbed when she is in the middle of worshipping the Buddha. If she found out that you had sneaked out, she might get very angry.”

She seemed to be threatening her with Yu Laojun, so Yu Qingjia laughed and said,

“So let’s go back before Yu Laojun finds out. I felt sorry that the Fourth Sister had to come out and look for me. Since the Fourth Sister also sneaked out, I don’t think she will tell Yu Laojun about it. Don’t you think so, Fourth Sister?”

Yu Qingya was very annoyed because Yu Qingjia had found another opening again. She was thinking of using this incident to make a fuss, but when Yu Qingjia said that, she could not say anything to rebut. She pursed her lips and smiled, then poked her eyes back,

“Of course, if Sixth Sister is really just lost, I, as the eldest sister, will naturally keep my mouth shut for you.”

Yu Qingjia smiled gently, her expression was very clear, she crossed over Yu Qingya and walked backwards,

“What kind of people can I meet in this pure land of Buddhism. With my fourth sister saying this, it made me even more curious, could it be that there are some big people coming to offer incense today?”

Yu Qingya was immediately struck dumb, then shook her head and said nothing. After Yu Qingjia walked away, she looked towards the way she came again and couldn’t help but ask the system secretly in her mind,

“System, did she really not meet anyone just now? The Prince of Yingchuan was supposed to be in the Night City since he’s a prince, but how come he suddenly ran to Gaoping County. Is this finally the meeting between the male and the female leads?”

The system is also indecisive, its database comes from the official and unofficial history, it would show the year of Emperor Xiang’s birth and death, when he started commanding an army, etc. If they needed those information he can easily get them. But if it’s about the meeting between the Emperor and Empress Ming Xi… Then it had no clue.

How could it be written in the history books? The system searched all the information it could find about Emperor Xiang of Qi from the Northern Dynasty to the early dynasties, but it still didn’t find the slightest clue.

For the first time, an advanced intelligent body that relies on data and computing to simulate human thinking feels the current disorder. If it’s still in the future world, it can use laser scanning, satellite positioning and other technologies to instantly get a three-dimensional map of the Immeasurable Temple and even the entire Yanzhou, and it can see who is on the map at a glance.

But it is now bound to the host, it resides in Yu Qingya’s mind, all other information can only be obtained through Yu Qingya’s eyes, ears and sense of touch. Under such conditions, it definitely does not have the support to complete a map scan. Without the support of future technology, the system could not do anything about it, and could only say,

「The host has insufficient authority, and unable to query.」
