When Luo Yunxuan showed each of the nine traps on the first floor to Feng Ning Yan, the three of them continued up the stairs.

After reading through all nine mechanisms, Feng Ningyan felt even more horrified.

That day, she did not continue to break into the Thousand Blessings Pavilion's traps. It could also be said that she was blessed with great fortune.

Walking up to the balcony on the second floor, Luo Yunxuan brewed a pot of tea and sat with Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan at a table by the railing, slowly recounting the story of the Thousand Blessings Pavilion.

Luo Yunxuan replied, "Over two hundred years ago, the orthodox royal families were the Great Zhou Dynasty and Yuwen Empire. The last emperor, Yuwen Jie, was cruel and absurd, causing the vassal lords to secede and stir up war, calling him emperor one after the other, no longer submitting to the Great Zhou. It was also because the Great Zhou had exhausted all its energy that the legendary "Inheritance Jade Seal", which had been passed down from the previous Qin Dynasty and represented the country, suddenly disappeared. On the same day, Yuwen Jie was killed, and the Great Zhou was destroyed. "

Feng Ningyan naturally knew about this period of history. She continued to explain to Luo Yunxuan, "The Great Zhou Empire was destroyed, but the Great Yue Nation's Ancestor Emperor had mysteriously obtained the Jade Seal of the successor, and established the country as' Yue '. He then invaded and attacked the various kingdoms, ending the war in the Central Plains. After that, the Legacy's Imperial Jade Seal was placed on the Rising Sun Terrace in the Grand Moon Imperial Palace. "

Shen Lingjue smiled faintly, "Yunxuan, tell me what the wangfei doesn't know."

Luo Yunxuan nodded her head and couldn't help but to look towards the distant scenery outside the building as she thought back to when Imperial Concubine Min was still alive.

"That's right, the hereditary Imperial Jade Seal should have been placed on the palace's Rising Sun Platform. But twenty years ago, it was stolen, and after that, the inherited Imperial Jade Seal was no longer there."

When Feng Ningyan heard this, she stood up in surprise. "What!?" Did the Jade Seal of the Legacy get stolen? "

Successive generations of emperors had all believed in one legend. The "Inherited Royal Jade Seal" represented the country's luck for the emperor to exist. Only those who were chosen were the true descendants of emperors and emperors.

Just like the previous emperor Yuwen Jie, he lost his country.

Luo Yunxuan shook her head, "This matter, other than the Emperor, I'm afraid no one knows. Therefore, there were two rumours in the palace. The first one was that the hereditary Imperial Jade Seal had been stolen and its whereabouts unknown, but the royal family kept it a secret and secretly searched. The other is that the hereditary Imperial Jade Seal has been preserved by the emperor's most beloved Imperial Concubine Min. "

When Feng Ningyan heard this, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. She slowly sat down and thought to herself:

"Compared to the first, the second rumor is more like a conspiracy. Since someone had infiltrated the palace, the location of the Imperial Jade Seal must have been kept a secret. How could anyone have guessed it? However, this rumor made the Guanju Palace the target of public criticism. Could it be that this was the cause of the great fire in Guanyu Palace? "

Shen Ling Jue drank his tea quietly, and when he heard Feng Ning Yan's words, his eyes turned cold, and he gripped his teacup tightly.

"This King had once suspected it as well, but there was no evidence. When the Mufei was still alive, because of this fire, the Guanju Palace had been refurbished once, and was hosted by the empress. After the death of his mother's concubine, the Crown Prince offered to repair the palace. This king has some suspicions that the crown prince is searching for the location of the passed down Imperial Jade Seal at the Ghastly Palace. "

Feng Ning Yan's delicate eyebrows tightly knitted together, the thought in her mind quickly turning.

She finally understood why the enemy had put so much effort into obtaining the Thousand Blessings Pavilion.

"The crown prince had been overseeing the country for many years and had long wanted to usurp power to ascend the throne. It's impossible for the Emperor to tell them, which is why they were unable to find anything in the Guanju Palace and thus decided to turn their attention to the Duke Yu Palace. "

Seeing that she had already deduced this far, Shen Ling Jue couldn't help but nod his head in approval.

"The Blessed Buddha Temple was personally designed and constructed by mufei. This king, who was six years old, moved here. After mufei died, the crown prince and the rest naturally turned their attention to the most mysterious place in the household, the Thousand Buddha Temple. "

Feng Ning Yan was silent. She drank two cups of tea before connecting everything together.

No wonder, Luo Yunxuan had told her not to have any sympathy for those assassins who had died in the Ten Thousand Buddha Pavilion, because those people were all ambitious and deserved to die.

If he didn't have such a terrifying mechanism, preventing the Crown Prince from entering the Thousand Blessings Pavilion would have unimaginable consequences.

The crown prince was unwilling to be suppressed by the emperor. If he could find the hereditary Imperial Jade Seal and prove the destination, he would start a coup and usurp the throne. At that time, the citizens would not be able to live.

On the other hand, if he couldn't even find the hereditary Imperial Jade Seal, then he would be in a desperate situation.

He could either use any means to deceive the Emperor into revealing the location of the Imperial Jade Seal, or he could quickly and viciously get rid of his opponent, Shen Lingjue.

"Now, do you understand why your highness and your servant went all out to unravel the secret of the Eternal Buddha Pavilion?"

Luo Yunxuan asked.

Feng Ning Yan looked at Shen Ling Jue and saw his serious expression. She remembered all the hardships he had gone through since he was young, and her heart couldn't help but hurt.

"You are here to unravel the secret of the Thousand Blessings Pavilion and confirm that the hereditary Imperial Jade Seal is here?"

"Yes." Shen Ling Jue's gaze was firm as he clenched his fists, "The only way to prevent the crown prince from obtaining the hereditary Imperial Jade Seal is for this king to find it first. "Only by unlocking all of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple's mechanisms can I understand why Imperial Mother exhausted all her efforts to build the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Buddha."

Feng Ningyan did not expect that Imperial Concubine Min's death would cause the passing of the Imperial Jade Seal to become a mystery. Even the secret hidden within the Thousand Blessings Pavilion had become a mystery.

She felt that this was completely illogical.

If the empress knew the location of the hereditary Imperial Jade Seal, she would have told the crown prince already. If so, did Imperial Concubine Min know the location of the hereditary Imperial Jade Seal? If he knew, why did he not let Shen Ling Jue know?

If Imperial Concubine Min didn't build the Thousand Buddha Pavilion to protect the hereditary Imperial Jade Seal, then why didn't she personally restore the《 Mechanical Tomb》 many years after it was burnt down and leave this difficult and dangerous mission to her own son?

The old questions were solved, but who would have thought that new ones would come again. Feng Ningyan felt as if her heart was being scratched by a cat, and she felt an urge to unravel the mystery.

"We still have to stay in the capital for a few more days. How about the three of us try our luck at the next stage?"

Luo Yun Xuan looked at Shen Ling Jue, who smiled.

"How is it? Is the most interesting place in the capital located in my house?"

Feng Ningyan smiled and said, "Yes yes yes, you brought me to the right place!"

After the three of them finished drinking their tea, Luo Yunxuan brought Feng back to the second floor. There were 12 mechanisms here, and Shen Ling Jue had already undone them.

As Luo Yunxuan demonstrated, she explained the principles behind it.

Feng Ning Yan carefully memorized the triggering principles and rules of every mechanism. The more she understood about these mechanisms, the more she felt that Imperial Concubine Min's knowledge was vast and profound, and her thoughts were different from ordinary people.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Such a strange girl should not have been a concubine in the harem …

After reading through the mechanisms on the second floor, the three of them arrived at the third floor.

Feng Ningyan noticed that there weren't nine bronze pillars on every floor, enough for two people to embrace. She asked, "Are these six bronze pillars going through the third floor?"

"Yes," Shen Ling Jue replied. "Although they went through three floors, according to my calculations, they weren't used to carry weight. I believe that these nine bronze pillars also have mechanisms within them. It's just that after so many years, we still haven't found the place to activate the mechanisms. "
