Chapter 176 Looking for Treasures
"Damn it, why are you spinning in circles?" Nangong Ke was already running wild.
The palace maids and eunuchs around her also found it strange. They had been to the Imperial Garden at least a hundred and eighty times, so why did she always walk ten meters and then turn back to the Tingfeng Pavilion?
Is there such a thing as a ghost wall?
A eunuch whispered, "Princess, this is a bit like what people call a ghost wall."
Nangong Ke: "Is there any solution?"
"I have heard of a method."
"Say!"
"It can be cracked by a man or a woman spitting in the air, or a man urinating forward."
"Come here and spit." Nangong Ke pulled a eunuch over.
As a result, the eunuch spat into the air several times, but they still did not leave the Tingfeng Pavilion.
Nangong Ke cursed: "You bastard, where did you hear this method from? It doesn't work at all!"
One eunuch stammered, "We are not men, so maybe it doesn't count?"
Nangong Ke made another fat palace maid spit.
Still no use.
This is a trap set up by Daju. If Daju doesn't remove the illusion, Nangong Ke will never be able to get out.
No one can go out and no one can come in.
Nangong Ke could hear Tian Xiaoxiao's inner voice again. This time, she was not only furious, but also mad. However, there was nothing she could do but worry.
After Lin Yunzhi and the others were taken away by Huang Lianfang, Zhao Fanchi could also hear Tian Xiaoxiao's thoughts.
At this moment, the emperor and the empress looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.
Zhao Fanchi: I heard from the prince a long time ago that Tian Xingjian’s youngest daughter likes to eat melons. I didn’t expect that she could dig up treasures while eating melons.
She ordered her personal maid to tell Nangong Xu that there was a treasure pot in the imperial garden, and asked Nangong Xu to bring people quickly to surround Tian Xiaoxiao.
Nangong Qi: I will send someone to intercept them at the gate of the Imperial Garden later, and let the Tian family stay in the palace and have a simple meal!
In a huge imperial garden, the three forces each had their own plans and were quietly listening to Tian Xiaoxiao's thoughts.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, I found the location, but here, look——]
Everyone came to the lake.
Daju: [You mean, the cornucopia is in the lake? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Yes, in the lake.]
Daju: [I’m not good at swimming, don’t ask me to go down. ]
Tian Xiwu: Sister, I am good at swimming.
Lin Yunzhi: Wu'er should be the best swimmer. He spent several years soaking in the river when he was a child.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I can, I can go down by myself. But, Nangong Rui is here, and this eunuch is here too, how can I change clothes? ]
Daju: [Go straight down, and after you come up, we'll go home right away.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Oh yeah, I forgot I have this skill.]
Daju: [You can tell Nangong Rui that you found a treasure and want to take it. I'm afraid you will hand it over to him in the end.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [It depends on the situation. I might lend it to him, but I won’t give it to him. I think this thing belongs to me.]
Nangong Qi: Little girl, you have such a big appetite. Every blade of grass and every tree in Mingning Kingdom belongs to me.
Nangong Rui: I will be satisfied if you can lend it to me.
Zhao Fanchi: As long as the treasure is in Nangong Rui's hands, I will find a way to steal it.
Nangong Ke: When the time comes, just snatch it away. Your nephew won’t dare to challenge you.
"Your Highness, I need to get something from the lake, so please ask everyone who is not involved to step back two hundred meters."
Although Tian Xiaoxiao's tone was a request, to Nangong Rui it sounded like a majestic command.
"All of you, please step back and wait for me at the gate of the Imperial Garden."
Nangong Rui gave the order and all the palace maids and eunuchs left.
Huang Lianfang stood still.
"Boss Huang, please move a step as well. I am enough here."
Nangong Rui ordered Huang Lianfang to leave immediately.
Huang Lianfang had no choice but to leave in shame.
"Miss Tian, is there anything else I can do for you?"
"No need, thank you!"
"Mom, I'll be back soon."
"Xiaoxiao, you want to go to the lake? Your second brother is very good at swimming, do you want him to accompany you?" Lin Yunzhi worriedly.
After thinking for a while, Tian Xiaoxiao felt that there was strength in numbers, so she nodded: "Okay, second brother, come with me!"
Tian Xiwu didn't know that what was waiting for him ahead would be an adventure that would change the trajectory of his life.
Tian Xiaoxiao asked Tian Lele to take a hairband and tied her cuffs tightly. Then she thought about it and took off her coat.
Tian Xiwu took off his outer robe and put on his underwear.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, help me seal the area around this lake so that not even a fly can fly in.]
Daju: [Okay, I set up a barrier.]
After that, Nangong Qi, Zhao Fanchi and Nangong Ke could no longer hear any voice from Tian Xiaoxiao.
Nangong Qi sent people to check, and when they returned, they reported that no trace of the Crown Prince and the Tian family was found in the entire garden.
Zhao Fanchi, who was listening from the side, also found it very strange.
Nangong Xu also came to the Imperial Garden at this time and whispered a few words into Zhao Fanchi's ear.
Only then did Zhao Fanchi know that there was a rumor in Shengjingdu that Tian Xiaoxiao was followed by a magical beast.
"Xu'er, you must get one of Tian Xiaoxiao and the fairy beast."
The mother and son spoke in low voices and ignored Nangong Qi.
After Tian Xiaoxiao and Tian Xiwu were ready, they jumped into the lake at the same time.
Lin Yunzhi paced back and forth anxiously on the shore.
Tian Lele comforted Lin Yunzhi: "Mom, don't worry, my sister has great magical powers and will definitely come back safely. My second brother's swimming ability was the best in Wucheng before. It's okay."
Lin Yunzhi: "Mom also knows that Xiaoxiao has extraordinary magical powers, but Mom can't help but worry. I am very relieved about your second brother. Xiaoxiao is only a little over four years old, how can Mom not worry about her."
The moment Tian Xiaoxiao entered the water, a force pulled her.
Tian Xiwu followed closely behind.
Tian Xiaoxiao held Tian Xiwu's hand tightly, and the two of them swam together following the force.
After swimming underwater for half a minute, Tian Xiaoxiao came to the surface to breathe.
Tian Xiwu also followed Tian Xiaoxiao, and then the two of them dived into the water again.
After repeating this nearly twenty times, the two returned underwater and Tian Xiaoxiao actually felt that she could breathe freely and speak.
"Brother? I seem to be able to talk and breathe underwater, how about you?"
Tian Xiaoxiao still held Tian Xiwu's hand.
"Sister, it's amazing. I feel the same as you."
"Let's go treasure hunting."
"Sister, what treasure is hidden here?"
"You'll know in a moment. Brother, do you like reading?"
"I like it, but I am not as good at studying as my elder brother. Besides, I don't know what I want now. It's not like my elder brother who aims to enter the imperial court."
"You're still young, don't worry, learn all kinds of skills first and see which one is your favorite."
"Okay! Hey, sister, there is a faint light on your forehead." Tian Xiwu told Tian Xiaoxiao in surprise what he saw.
"Brother, the place ahead is where the treasure is stored. Let's explore it first. There are usually contracted beasts in places where treasures are hidden. You should protect yourself and follow me closely. Just stay within two meters."
"Yes, I understand. Don't worry about looking for it. I will definitely not hold you back."
The two swam like this for half an hour and finally arrived in front of a palace-like house.
The plaque hanging above reads: "Yiyou Palace".
