"Senior brother, do you know there is a hidden mechanical stake on the roof of the library?"

A little unexpectedly, Nan Zhenyi did not answer us immediately, but was silent for a moment before saying, "I think I know."

"I think I know?"

I am not unfamiliar with this kind of words. After spending so many years in the palace, such ambiguous words are the most useful. I looked at Nan Zhenyi in surprise. Could it be that when it comes to this matter, even he is going to start to talk to us?

Qinghan smiled: "This is not what the mountain leader said."

Nan Zhenyi also smiled and said, "But, I really just know."

"oh?"

Qinghan and I looked at each other, and looked at him in confusion. Nan Zhenyi said, "Miss and Junior Brother Liu came to the academy for a few days and saw that there was a deviation in the height inside and outside the library. That night, I went to the top of the mountain to check. I have been in the academy for decades, so how could I not see it?"

I was stunned: "Can the mountain leader know that the existence of that thing is because of the same reason?"

He nodded.

"Didn't anyone tell you?"

He shook his head.

"Why?"

Nan Zhenyi smiled calmly, and then said, "My so-called 'mountain leader' was just the eldest lady left the Yan family and the teacher went to study hard. After the academy was in trouble, the academy had a blank space. Because I was the oldest, I took over some things in the academy, and the students started to scream. But in fact, Xishan Academy did not belong to me in the end."

After he said this, I seemed to come back to my senses.

That's true.

In fact, his current identity is just the master of Xishan Academy. Because he is the oldest, he manages everything here, but in terms of seniority, he is not superior to Xiao Yusheng and Cha Bixing.

Nan Zhenyi continued: "So, I don't own this academy, and I don't have complete control over some of the academy's affairs."

“…”

"Besides—" he looked at me and said, "The eldest lady walked so suddenly that she didn't have time to explain this."

As soon as he said this, a scene suddenly flashed through my mind. The day after I left Xichuan, there were white banners hanging here. Aunt Hong said that it was because she saw the flying soul-summoning banners that she learned the news of her mother's death.

Indeed, all this happened too suddenly.

I was silent for a while before saying, "Then, did my mother not explain anything when I built this library?"

"No, the drawings were taken directly by the eldest lady, and the craftsman was specially found by her. The academy was not so large at the time, and the students did not understand this kind of thing. Therefore, no one in the academy participated in the entire process of building the library, and everything was hosted by the eldest lady."

I frowned: "You mean, that library—— everything in the library was designed by my mother?"

Nan Zhenyi looked at me and shook her head: "I didn't say that."

"Then you just said--"

"What I said is that the eldest lady brought the drawings directly, but no one knows who designed the drawings."

"Are you, someone from the Tang family?"

Nan Zhenyi smiled faintly: "I'm afraid the eldest lady will verify this by herself."

My throat was slightly astringent. I didn't know if it was because of the roasted goose meat. I felt a vague fire in my heart. I subconsciously reached out to get the cup again. This time I took a look, confirmed it was a teacup and then drank it in one sip.

The warm tea flowed down my throat, making my heart feel a little better.

However, my mind was rumbling.

It should not be the mechanical scoop designed by the Tang family. Although I am an amateur, I can still see some tricks. The mechanical scoop in the library is similar to the mechanical scoop in the Tang family, but it is not the same path. The mechanical scoop in the Tang family is all exquisite and small, while the mechanical scoop in the library is too large, not like the work of the Tang family.

What's more, if it were a drawing designed by a Tang family, such a large library was built, and a secret room was hidden inside, Tang Ting would have told me.

But no matter what, I really have to go to them to verify.

Thinking of this, I felt a little anxious, and I even wanted to find the Tang family immediately now, find Tang Ting and ask clearly, and subconsciously looked out. The night was already dark, and the lights were shining within an inch outside the door, and the rest of the place was already pitch black. I heard the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the treetops from afar. This night was very quiet.

I said, "Since that's the case, I understand. I will go to the Tang family to ask clearly."

Nan Zhenyi looked at me: "Miss is leaving?"

I looked up at Qinghan opposite, then looked at Nan Zitai again, and said, "Qinghan was poisoned by his body, and it has not been completely detoxified yet. This time the discussion is over, we are relieved. I want to accompany him to find the leader of Miaoshan Sect and ask him to detoxify Qinghan."

Nan Zhenyi obviously knew about this, and he looked at Qinghan: "What's the matter now?"

Qinghan said: "The toxicity can be barely suppressed, but I don't know when it will be poisoned, so I want to detoxify first to save my life."

Nan Zhenyi immediately looked up at Nan Zitai: "Zitai, can Master Ye explain this matter?"

Nan Zitai frowned: "Have you actually not detoxified yet?"

When I heard him say this, I frowned: "You said this very lightly--You gave him medicine in Xi'an Prefecture and caused him to get poisoned, and almost half of his life was lost. Do you still say that now?"

Nan Zitai immediately stood up and said, "Miss Yan, don't swear by others. The medicine Sister Lan gave him is to help him detoxify!"

"What?"

Qinghan and I looked at him in surprise.

Qinghan said, "Tell me clearly."

Nan Zitai said: "The sect leader already knows the solution to his poison. The father and daughter of the Xue family were both in Xi'an Mansion at that time. As long as the emperor did not want him to die, can his poison be unsolved with an order?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You mean-"

He looked at us coldly: "Do you know why the sect leader did that?"

"Why?"

"The eldest lady of the Yan family and Mr. Fu's disciples all helped the emperor wholeheartedly, and he could even ignore his own life. The sect leader also wanted to see if that emperor was worthy of your help. If he was a narrow-minded villain and realized that Liu Qinghan's power was growing, he would definitely find a way to eliminate him, and such a person would naturally not be worthy of helping him."

My cold sweat broke out.

I couldn't help but remember that before entering Tongguan, there was indeed rumors that "the emperor came out of the three rivers" everywhere. Pei Yuanhao was suspicious by nature, and indeed began to doubt Qinghan's behavior. He even parted ways with him when crossing the Yellow River.

but--

When they entered Xi'an Prefecture and faced Master Ye, they miraculously worked together.

So much so that after the cold poison was released, Pei Yuanhao even took out his own blood to maintain his life.

Qinghan seemed to remember what happened at that time, and his face moved slightly. I said tremblingly: "He did this to investigate what kind of person the emperor was?"

“…”

"Just to find out what kind of person he is, you will give Qinghan medicine, which will almost cost him his life!"

Nan Zitai turned his head to look at Qinghan and said calmly: "The sect master saved his life. His life belonged to the sect master, but he betrayed the sect master. Such punishment is light enough for Miaoshan Sect."

I just felt a burst of anger jumping from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

Seeing that I was about to get angry, Qinghan slowly stood up and said, "Then, what did he see?"

Nan Zitai glanced at him, was silent for a moment before saying, "The sect leader has already told me that if you are still alive this time - the emperor enters Xichuan, we don't have to stop him."

“…”

"If you die of poison, the emperor will never enter Xichuan in his entire life!"

"What?"

Nan Zitai said, "You don't know yet that when you passed Jianmen Pass, our people were always nearby to confirm whether he was still alive."

"If he-"

"Then the emperor can't pass Jianmen Pass alive!"

“…”

"A person with a narrow mind and no aura, even if such a person is on the throne and becomes the emperor, he is just a tyrant, a foolish monarch, and the world cannot be pacified by such a person."

I couldn't help but feel cold in my heart.

Although in my heart, I may not have measured it like this, and I was not completely relieved to let the court negotiate with Xichuan. After all, if the peace talks are successful, Xichuan will be implicated in the war in the Central Plains, and the tragic situation in Yangzhou is still in front of me. No one can guarantee how Pei Yuanhao will treat Xichuan in the future.

If a person makes a mistake, Qingchen and I will become the eternal sinners of Xichuan!

The test of Master Ye must be said to have somewhat resolved my anxiety.

Although the situation in front of me, at least everything now, I can accept it, when I think of it as a bet, a bet with Qinghan's life, I feel indescribable discomfort, as if I have been pulled away.

Qinghan stood there, his face became paler. He probably never thought that his life was the key to whether the emperor could enter Xichuan and the peace talks with the Yan family.

After a while, he chuckled and said, "Then, Sect Master Ye is still satisfied with this result?"

Nan Zitai didn't say anything.

As a result, it was already in front of us. I can only say that we were lucky, and Pei Yuanhao finally did not disappoint the friendship that Qinghan had blocked him and died for him.

I immediately asked, "Where is he now?"

Nan Zitai glanced at Qinghan: "You know where you are."
