"So Yan State really has a so-called great treasure?" Xue Qing didn't really believe it anyway. It was not easy to hide so many treasures and wealth.
"Yes!" Concubine Yan said firmly.
"Have you witnessed it with your own eyes?"
"No, but I'm sure there must be some left!" Concubine Yan said as she took off the silver hairpin on her head. The silver hairpin had almost changed color and looked unremarkable.
"This is half of the key to the treasure house, and the other half of the key is not with me."
"Where?"
"There is a Yan Mansion in the border town of the southern empire. He is my cousin. He has the other half of the key. As long as you have these two keys, you can open the treasure house and get the treasure."
Concubine Yan's words made Xue Qingli confused. Concubine Yan continued: "My father and my cousin's father have been fighting for most of their lives. They each want to get the other half of the key and the treasure. My father
He wanted to regain the Yan Kingdom, but my uncle just wanted to become the richest man with this treasure. My father originally wanted to use the power of the Western Empire to regain the Yan Kingdom, so he pushed me into the big fire pit of the palace and became a concubine.
But my father was wrong. Because of his selfish desires, he, my son, and our whole family died in the hands of Xiahou Duan."
"Xiahou Duan killed them?"
"Yes, while Xiahou Duan kept pleasing me, he also pushed my whole family into desperation. Of course, he did these cruel things behind his back and wanted me to tell him the keys and secrets."
"He miscalculated because you knew his intentions and his crimes in advance."
"Yes, because he doesn't know that my other identity is a beast master, and the crow is my messenger. I can know everything you want to know." If the crow hadn't told her about Xiahou Duan's murder of Yan Fei's family, she might have
Still living a lie.
Since Concubine Yan entered the palace, Xiahou Duan has been very good to her. Both she and her father thought that their identities were well concealed, and Xia Houduan had no idea that they were descendants of the Yan royal family.
Just like they secretly plotted against Xiahou Duan, Xiahou Duan was more skilled. After all, he had greater power. His cleverness was mistaken for his cleverness, and they were the prey.
When Concubine Yan learned of her father's death, Xiahou Duan fabricated the illusion that her family had been wiped out by bandits. Soon, even the child in her belly could not be saved. All this was Xia Houduan's conspiracy. Once he got what he wanted, Concubine Yan
She knew that she could not escape death, so she devised a plan to protect herself. She pretended that she could not bear the pain of leaving her relatives and the blow of the tire slip, and pretended to be delirious and crazy to escape from Xia Houduan's murderous hand.
Because of this, Concubine Yan was sent to the cold palace and lived a miserable life. Xiahou Duan and Xia Hou Rui still did not give up the idea of obtaining the treasure, and always wanted to get the secrets from her.
Concubine Yan has been pretending to be ill for more than ten years, and she has been able to avoid open and covert attacks. Her crow is a life-saving messenger, which can always let her know a lot of information in advance, giving her enough time to prepare for dealing with the situation.
Just like the moment before Xia Hourui and Xue Qing stepped into the cold palace, the crow on the tree had already reported to Concubine Yan.
"So, if you ask for help, what do you want me to do for you?" Xue Qing asked.
"Actually, even I don't know what I want to do. I have thought a lot. I must not tell the Xiahou family the key and location of the treasure, and I cannot take advantage of the Western Empire. Xiahou Duan is my enemy. I want to kill him before it is too late. Why?
