Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a strong interest in the Little One's gentle wave. With this newfound interest, the anger he felt towards the Little One gradually diminished.
Upon returning to the palace, he went straight back to his chamber. Sitting on the Carved Wooden Chair, he recalled everything that had happened in Prince Luo's Residence.
When he remembered what the Snow Spirit Elder had said, a question suddenly came to mind.
That was, since the Snow Spirit Elder did not seem to welcome him to the Little Doll's Piaoyun Pavilion, could it be that the Little Doll also did not want him to visit her Piaoyun Pavilion, or even appear before her?
After pondering this question, he quickly came to a realization.
A smile crept onto his lips as he silently mused, “Little Doll, you almost deceived me. It seems I really can't underestimate you! However, since you don't want me to disturb you in your Piaoyun Pavilion, I will just have to go there and uncover your secrets.”
With his thoughts settled, Dongfang Hao rose and walked to the window, leaning against it to observe the sky outside. Seeing that it was still early, he realized that Mu Xi would not be entering the palace anytime soon.
Thus, he quickly walked over to his Dragon Throne. Pressing gently beneath the pillow, the Dragon Throne shifted aside instantly, revealing an entrance with stairs leading down.
He descended the stairs and arrived underground, where the upper Dragon Throne automatically closed behind him.
The underground area was brightly lit, with large Luminous Pearls embedded in the walls every few meters.
Dongfang Hao made his way confidently to a large stone door. After placing a piece of white jade into a small hole on the door, it opened automatically.
Inside was a room where another person who looked exactly like him stood.
He slowly entered the room, and upon seeing him, the other person immediately approached and knelt on one knee, saying, “I pay my respects to the Palace Master.”
Dongfang Hao waved his hand at him, signaling him to rise, and then said, "Has anything unusual happened in the palace recently?"
"Reporting to the Palace Master, everything in the palace is normal, and nothing unusual has occurred," the man quickly replied upon hearing Dongfang Hao's question.
After listening to his response, Dongfang Hao nodded lightly and continued to ask, "Has anything special happened in the Jianghu recently?"
"Reporting to the Palace Master, the Jianghu has been quite peaceful lately, with no special events occurring. The matter regarding the Assassin Alliance that we have been investigating for some time has still yielded no clues whatsoever."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Hao couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly and said slowly, "Increase the search efforts. Deploy more personnel; send out two-thirds of the people from the Demon Palace. We must find out who did this."
"Yes, I will follow your orders," the man immediately responded.
"Additionally, you can return to the Demon Palace for now; there is no need for you to stay here," Dongfang Hao instructed calmly.
The man was quite surprised by his master's words and raised his head. However, when he saw the look in his master's eyes, he realized that Dongfang Hao had found a particularly interesting target that he wanted to handle personally, which was why he was being sent back to the Demon Palace.
Seeing his master's gaze, he quickly replied, "Yes, I take my leave." As soon as he finished speaking, he swiftly exited the room.
After he left, Dongfang Hao sat in the chair by the desk for a while before also leaving the room and quickly returning to his upper chambers.
This place was Dongfang Hao's Underground Study. However, it was not a study in the royal palace but rather in the Demon Palace. The room was filled with documents and letters related to the Demon Palace.
The person who looked exactly like Dongfang Hao was Miyazawa, his shadow guard and the first dark envoy under the Demon Palace Master.
Of course, his resemblance to Dongfang Hao was merely due to his ability to change his appearance.
However, aside from reviewing Imperial Edicts and occasionally leaving the palace to be with Mu Xi, it was mostly Miyazawa who played the role of Your Majesty in the royal palace.
Although Miyazawa mostly disguised herself as Dongfang Hao and lived in the palace, no one discovered this secret, not even Mu Xi, who often spent time with Dongfang Hao.
The Demon Palace was the second largest palace in the martial world a century ago, capable of overturning an empire. However, it has now vanished from the martial world.
The Demon Palace was also passed down to Dongfang Hao by his master, Elder Wujie.
After returning to his chamber, Dongfang Hao casually ate some snacks before heading to the Dragon Throne to sleep. Just as he approached the Dragon Throne and was about to lie down, Mu Xi emerged from a hidden door.
Upon entering, he glanced at the table and, seeing that there was no roasted meat as he had hoped, a look of disappointment crossed his face.
Immediately, he asked his Senior Brother Dongfang Hao, "Senior Brother, um, is there no roasted meat today?"
Dongfang Hao coldly replied, "If you want roasted meat, go roast it yourself. There isn't any today, but I will go to Prince Luo's Residence tomorrow and bring some back for you."
Hearing this, Mu Xi felt very happy and displayed a childlike smile, repeatedly saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother! Thank you! You are so kind."
"Alright, alright, hurry up and go do your work in the rear palace!" Dongfang Hao said lightly.
"Yes, my Senior Brother. I will get to work right away," Mu Xi replied.
With that, he quickly disappeared from Dongfang Hao's chamber.
Meanwhile, Luo Caidie was carried back to the Fragrant Pavilion and cried as she recounted everything that had happened at Piaoyun Pavilion to her mother.
Madam Xiang comforted her daughter a few times before waving her hand to dismiss the servants in the room. She softly said to her daughter, "Die Er, don't cry. I will send a message to urge the assassins from Night Gate to quickly eliminate that little brat and avenge you."
Upon hearing her mother's words, Luo Caidie immediately stopped crying and said to Madam Xiang, "Mother, please hurry!"
"Alright, alright, my good daughter, I will go urge them now." With that, Madam Xiang turned and left.
Suddenly, the room was left with only the Second Princess, Luo Caidie.
However, she did not cry or make a fuss; instead, she sat calmly on the bed, her face revealing a deep expression of hatred.
At the same time, she silently cursed in her heart, "Damn little brat, you really must be tired of living to embarrass me so much in front of the Emperor. If you want to make me suffer, then you shouldn't expect to live well either; just use your worthless life to pay for it!"
After Madam Xiang exited Luo Caidie's room, she immediately returned to her own chamber. At her writing desk, she penned a letter urging Night Gate to act quickly. She then sent her trusted maid to deliver the letter to her distant relative, instructing them to hand it over to the assassin from Night Gate.
Once that was taken care of, she sent someone to inquire about Lo An Lord's whereabouts. The servant returned with the report that the prince was still behind the Little Princess's Piaoyun Pavilion. She thought about going there immediately to demand an explanation from Lo An Lord and Luo Bingbing.
However, just as she took a couple of steps, her personal maid A Xiu hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "Madam, you can't go! Have you forgotten what happened when the princesses went to Piaoyun Pavilion to find that person? Besides, she has the prince backing her up now! If you go there looking for trouble with her now, you'll definitely come out worse for wear."
After hearing A Xiu's advice, Madam Xiang's heated head cooled down immediately. She turned around and headed back to Luo Caidie's room instead of insisting on confronting Lo An Lord and that Little One at Piaoyun Pavilion.
Meanwhile, Consort Luo and her beloved daughter at Azure Water Pavilion did not come to see Luo Caidie after hearing about her injury. They felt conflicted; they wanted Luo Caidie to be favored by Dongfang Hao and rise in status while simultaneously fearing that if she truly entered the palace under his protection, she and her mother would overshadow them and seize their power. Thus, when they saw the Second Princess return defeated, their hearts were filled with both joy and disappointment—a tangled mess of emotions!
In the courtyard of Piaoyun Pavilion, after Lo An Lord and his companions finished devouring the fragrant roasted meat, they dispersed.
The Snow Spirit Elder then left Piaoyun Pavilion and returned to their stronghold in Spirit Mountain.
The Guardian of the Forbidden Land from Spirit Mountain—Xuan Ye—grew anxious as he realized that despite searching Silver City for several days with so many people, there was still no sign of the Otherworldly Divine Star.
However, he felt helpless because during his nighttime divinations, all signs pointed to the Otherworldly Divine Star being located within Silver City of the Silver Moon Kingdom.
So, he had no choice but to let the disciples inside the Silver City continue their search for the Otherworldly Divine Star.
In the deep of night, the stars twinkled in the sky, and all was silent.
Luo Bingbing emerged from Prince Luo's Residence and swiftly made her way toward the dense forest outside the city. She hovered in mid-air, watching Luo Yi train the beggars.
After observing for a while, she pointed out the areas where Luo Yi and the others needed to strengthen their training, using her Ability to communicate with him. Then she quickly left the forest and headed to the Purple Bamboo Forest on the back mountain to cultivate her Ability.
Luo Yi had become quite immune to suddenly hearing his master's voice and felt no surprise at all. After listening to her instructions, he immediately began training according to what the Little One had said.
In the depths of the bamboo forest, in that familiar place, she continued to break through the bottleneck of her Ability.
As dawn began to break in the east, she swiftly returned to her room using her Ability and gently slipped back into her already cold bed to sleep.
In the morning, Lo An Lord and Strategist Gongsun Ming arrived at Piaoyun Pavilion's courtyard to run and practice.
As the sun climbed over the mountain peak, Luo Bingbing also got up. After washing up, she joined them in their exercises and training.
Of course, she would occasionally offer guidance to her Father and the strategist. Lo An Lord and Strategist Gongsun Ming greatly benefited from her advice.
In Fragrant Pavilion, Madam Xiang had received a reply from her distant relative.
Now, she was heading toward Luo Caidie's room to share this good news with her daughter.
Upon entering Luo Caidie's room, she immediately said, "Daughter! I have some good news to tell you!"
Luo Caidie quickly asked, "Mother, what is the good news?"
Madam Xiang smiled lightly and slowly walked to Luo Caidie's side, leaning in to whisper in her ear, "The assassin from Night Gate will come to deal with that little brat tonight."
Upon hearing her mother's words, Luo Caidie felt immense joy and couldn't help but say, "Mother, I'm so happy! Thank you for coming to tell me this good news so early."
"What thanks? Are you still being so polite with your mother?" Madam Xiang replied gently.
Afterward, the mother and daughter discussed their future plans, which included eliminating Luo Bingbing and strategizing how to get rid of Consort Luo next.
In the palace, Dongfang Hao sat in the Pavilion of the garden, watching the fish swimming back and forth in the pond. A slight smile appeared on his lips as he observed them.
Suddenly, a very youthful and familiar voice broke through the air. "Emperor Brother, Emperor Brother, I found you here watching the fish! It was hard for Ling'er to find you!"
Moments later, the owner of that voice appeared right in front of Dongfang Hao.
As soon as she saw Dongfang Hao, she rushed towards him while exclaiming, "Emperor Brother, why haven't you come to see Ling'er for so long?"
Dongfang Hao frowned deeply at his sister's sudden approach and coldly said, "Ling'er, look at yourself; do you have the demeanor of a princess?"
Upon hearing her Emperor Brother Dongfang Hao's words, Eastern Spirit immediately straightened up and walked gracefully. She weakly replied, "Emperor Brother, I know I was wrong!"
