In particular, the thought that Ye Qingmei's son, Chen Qingfeng, would one day fall at her feet filled him with an indescribable sense of pleasure!
……
Time flies.
Before you know it, night falls.
At this moment, Chen Qingfeng was sitting cross-legged in his room, cultivating the method of immortality.
Earlier, he had used his accumulated experience over the years to raise his cultivation to the first level of the Divine Power Realm.
Upon reaching this level, one's spiritual power has been transformed into magical power, which is incredibly wondrous.
Of course, in Chen Qingfeng's view, this is far from enough.
"Ok?"
Suddenly, Chen Qingfeng sensed footsteps approaching his courtyard.
A short while later, Fan Ruoruo leaned into Chen Qingfeng's courtyard.
"Brother Qingfeng!"
Upon entering the courtyard, Fan Ruoruo couldn't help but shout.
It's easy to see that she dressed up carefully before coming.
Hearing Fan Ruoruo's call, Chen Qingfeng came out from the inner room.
"Ruoruo is here!"
He said it casually.
Fan Ruoruo nodded and quickly moved closer to Chen Qingfeng.
As they approached, she grabbed Chen Qingfeng's arm and said with a smile:
"Brother Qingfeng, you haven't forgotten what you promised me, have you?"
Chen Qingfeng smiled slightly, looked up at the sky, and saw that the night was clear with stars twinkling in the sky.
"Of course I haven't forgotten, I'll go stargazing with you!"
Seeing that Chen Qingfeng still remembered, Fan Ruoruo was happy and was about to pull Chen Qingfeng to sit down next to her.
At that moment, a figure appeared outside the courtyard gate.
The person who came was none other than Wang Qinian.
"Son!"
Upon seeing Chen Qingfeng in the courtyard, Wang Qinian approached him with a broad smile.
Upon seeing Wang Qinian arrive, Fan Ruoruo quickly released her grip on Chen Qingfeng's arm.
Wang Qinian saw this and smiled faintly:
"Miss Ruoruo, the whole capital now knows about His Majesty's bestowal of a marriage."
"There's no need to be so discreet. If you want to help someone up, then help them up; if you want to hug someone, then hug them. Mr. Wang can simply pretend he didn't see anything." (bfae)
After Wang Qinian said that, Fan Ruoruo lowered her head and felt embarrassed.
At this moment, Chen Qingfeng suddenly glared at Wang Qinian and said:
"Old Wang, stop talking nonsense, where's what I want?"
Upon hearing what Chen Qingfeng said, Wang Qinian did not hesitate and quickly took out a map from his pocket and handed it to Chen Qingfeng.
"Young master, I went to great lengths to obtain this map."
"Fixed price, five taels of silver!"
As he spoke, Wang Qinian grinned sheepishly and gestured with his hand towards Chen Qingfeng.
"What a money-grubber!"
Chen Qingfeng took out five taels of silver and threw it to Wang Qinian.
After taking the silver, Wang Qinian carefully examined it and weighed it in his hand.
"Pure silver, pure silver!"
"Thank you very much, sir."
"I... I won't disturb your romantic evening!"
Wang Qinian gave Chen Qingfeng and Fan Ruoruo a strange look before getting up and leaving.
After Wang Qinian left, Fan Ruoruo asked curiously:
"Brother Qingfeng, what kind of map did you buy that costs five taels of silver?"
"Wang Qinian is clearly trying to rip you off!"
"With your status, getting a map shouldn't be difficult, right? Why not just have someone from the Overwatch Council handle it?"
Chen Qingfeng smiled slightly and explained:
"The matter of the map must not be known to the Oversight Council."
Seeing Chen Qingfeng's serious expression, Fan Ruoruo became even more curious.
"What map? Why are you making it so mysterious?"
"The Imperial Palace!"
Chen Qingfeng responded simply.
"what?"
Fan Ruoruo looked bewildered and confused, not understanding why Chen Qingfeng wanted the map of the palace.
At this moment, Chen Qingfeng said:
"Ruoruo, just wait for me here."
"I'm going out to take care of something. When I get back, I'll watch the stars with you!"
After saying this, Chen Qingfeng didn't wait for Fan Ruoruo's reply. He quickly went inside to change into a night outfit and soon disappeared into the night.
"this?"
Fan Ruoruo's head was buzzing when she saw it.
It took her a while to recover a little, and she muttered to herself:
"Brother Qingfeng, are you... planning to break into the palace at night?"
After leaving my own courtyard.
Chen Qingfeng shuddered, channeled his true energy throughout his body, and vanished into the night.
He had already found out during the day.
Tonight, the Empress Dowager is not in her own palace, Hanguang Hall, but has returned to the former Prince Cheng's residence, where she will stay for a few days.
This was undoubtedly a great opportunity for Chen Qingfeng.
After all, he had already planned to go to the Empress Dowager's palace and get his hands on that key.
"My godfather was really something, leaving this key in the palace back then, and it ended up in the hands of the Empress Dowager."
Chen Qingfeng muttered to himself.
Others may not know, but he knows very well.
That key and the black leather case were originally kept by Wu Zhu.
However, at Chen Pingping's suggestion, Wu Zhu only took the black leather suitcase; the key remained with the Empress Dowager.
After a moment's thought, Chen Qingfeng composed himself and, following the map provided by Wang Qinian, infiltrated the palace.
Although he has already entered the first level of the supernatural realm of immortality, the stage of magical power, transforming his spirit into magical power, enabling him to fly like lightning and shattering the worldview of ordinary people.
However, being unfamiliar with the palace, flying haphazardly might cause problems. 6
The palace was heavily guarded, with numerous hidden sentries and elite imperial guards. 7
If discovered, there will certainly be a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, Chen Qingfeng's journey was smooth, successfully avoiding numerous imperial guards and sentries.
Before long, following the map's directions, they arrived outside the Hanguang Hall.
Extending his divine sense outwards, Chen Qingfeng discovered that there were no top-tier imperial guards within the inner palace; the real guards with swords were concentrated in the front hall and corner towers.
The Hanguang Hall was filled with a sense of peace and tranquility.
The palace maids on night watch were all asleep.
The eunuch in charge of watching the incense burner was also getting drowsy.
With the Empress Dowager not in her palace, the servants who stayed behind naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to slack off.
Under the dim light, Chen Qingfeng quietly sneaked into the palace through a relatively dark corner.
Soon, Chen Qingfeng arrived at the Empress Dowager's bedside and found a hidden compartment under the bed.
Upon opening the hidden compartment, it was found that there were no jewelry or silver notes inside.
There was only a white cloth and a key.
"Could this white cloth be the same one from back then?"
"So many years have passed, and the old lady still keeps it?"
Chen Qingfeng muttered to himself.
When Ye Qingmei was still alive, the Empress Dowager was not yet the Empress Dowager, but the Princess Consort of Prince Cheng.
At that time, Ye Qingmei had very boldly asked Prince Cheng if he wanted to become emperor.
The next day, Ye Qingmei sniped the two most competitive princes from a kilometer away with a Barrett sniper rifle!
Prince Cheng naturally ascended to the throne.
Li Yunqian, who was still the heir apparent of Prince Cheng, became the crown prince.
