Chapter 2151: Chapter 2151: The Emperor Did It Himself

"There are no divine beasts," Lin Caisang said as she looked towards Yin Baiqing.

"Now there are no divine beasts because for some unknown reason, this divine beast fell asleep three years ago. The emperor sought many beast tamers within Ziyan Kingdom and even throughout the entire Illusion Continent, but no one could awaken the divine beast," Yin Baiqing explained.

"That’s why you didn’t see the divine beast during your visit, but it is said that precisely because the divine beast is asleep, the treasure site of the Western Underground Palace has not been opened for three years.

The defense around the Eastern Underground Palace has been even more stringent, and among the royal family, no one but the emperor can enter."

"No one but the emperor can enter?" Lin Caisang raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, it’s said that the mechanisms there are very formidable. Without the blueprint for the mechanisms, it’s utterly impossible to enter," Yin Baiqing continued.

"Moreover, the number of Tomb Guards within the imperial tomb has indeed increased. If it weren’t for the talismans we carry that can protect us, we wouldn’t have been able to enter at all."

"But that’s not right either."

Lin Caisang shook her head, feeling that this was not what she wanted to know.

"Even if no one has gone to the treasure site these past three years, there should still have been many royals entering three years ago, right? And for them to take out some treasures would be quite normal. This Purple Qi Stone may just be one of those treasures."

"That’s not the case," Yin Baiqing still disagreed.

"As my mother, the Princess Consort Niu, said, the nose of that divine beast is particularly sensitive. Every royal who goes treasure hunting can only bring out one treasure. If they take more, they definitely can’t escape the nose of that divine beast.

And considering the imperial tomb has existed for so many years, every treasure taken from it has been recorded in an inventory. The origin of each item is crystal clear.

Although discussing the imperial tomb can lead to the death penalty, the objects taken out by the royal family can still be discussed, and everyone is aware of who has taken what."

Therefore, if it were said that the Purple Qi Stone belonged to Yin Lvqing, it’s really quite unlikely, unless Yin Lvqing has extraordinary abilities to evade the divine beast’s nose and stealthily took a second treasure.

"Heh, only the emperor can freely enter and exit as he pleases, that’s quite interesting."

Lin Caisang let out a light laugh, finding the affairs of Ziyan Kingdom increasingly intriguing.

"So, are you saying that those ghostly things in the Eastern Underground Palace were set up by the emperor himself, and not by Yin Lvqing or someone else?"

She looked at Yin Baiqing as she spoke.

She originally thought that the emperor, who doted on his grandson Yin Baiqing, might somehow be the one who placed the Purple Qi Stone near him, causing him to swallow it.

No wonder Yin Baiqing just said his mother, the Princess Consort Niu, looked so terrified that it even scared him.

If she had someone by her side who seemed to care for her deeply but turned out to be the most malicious, intent on harming her, she would probably feel so sick that she’d vomit, right?

It would be strange if Princess Consort Niu wasn’t frightened!

Moreover, what exactly does the emperor of Ziyan Kingdom want to do? Raising so many poisonous corpses, what is his intention? To use them to conquer the lands far and wide, to bring the entire Illusion Continent under his control?

Tsk.

He lacks the capability, yet harbors such grand ambitions. She really finds it laughable.

"It should be so. My mother conjectured the same thing just now," Yin Baiqing nodded.

It’s just that he never expected his imperial great-grandfather to be such a deeply concealed person.
