Chapter 161 Entering the Library
Soon, screams were heard from outside the door. The emperor was very happy in his heart, even though his face was expressionless.
In the past, whenever Feng Jinghang suffered any harm in front of his older sons, King You would run to him to demand justice and ask him to severely punish his sons.
Now it was his son's turn to stab his own son. How could the emperor let his son go so easily?
Prince Li is his son. Even if he is useless or unlovable, he is still his son. As his father, he will not tolerate others bullying him.
Feng Jinghang's screams reached King You's ears, and were like a sharp knife piercing straight into his chest.
His heart was instantly torn apart, and anger surged into his heart like a tide.
He lowered his eyes and looked coldly at the floor in the imperial study, and his hatred for the old emperor deepened.
But at this moment, Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen, who were hiding behind the screen in the imperial study, heard Feng Jinghang's screams. Both of them were annoyed by the noise, so Jiang Yimo pulled Feng Wuhen into her space and made two cups of coffee.
It was the first time for Feng Wuhen to drink coffee. It smelled fragrant, but when he first took a sip, he felt it tasted bitter. However, after he finished drinking it, the aftertaste of the coffee was sweet.
After he drank a few more sips and got used to the taste, he actually thought that this thing called coffee was delicious.
"Momo, how come there are so many good things in your space?"
"These things are all produced in our area. We have not had time to drink them because they were stored in space before. You will be in for a treat this time."
Hearing this, Feng Wuhen sneered slightly.
The two of them drank a cup of coffee in the space. Outside, Feng Jinghang had finished being beaten with a stick. King You, full of resentment, had Feng Jinghang carried out of the palace.
Only then did the old emperor call out Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen from behind the screen.
They had just finished their coffee and came out when they heard the old emperor calling them out.
"Just now, I guess you two heard the conversation between me and King You and his son."
After saying this, Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen nodded at the same time.
Jiang Yimo: "Yes, we both heard it."
After listening to this, the old emperor lowered his eyes and looked at the two of them. He opened his mouth, but stopped himself from speaking.
Feng Wuhen noticed his expression and asked, "Father, do you want to ask something?"
"Is Prince Li's injury not serious?" the emperor said slowly.
"Father, if you want to know, go to Prince Li's Palace. You haven't summoned Sixth Brother for many years. His injury this time was quite serious due to excessive blood loss."
After Feng Wuhen finished speaking, he winked at Jiang Yimo and took his leave from the emperor.
Half an hour later, the two arrived outside the forbidden area of the imperial palace - the library.
This library is located in the middle of a peach forest, with a very beautiful view. It is an ancient and mysterious building with five floors, and is built of wood, with red lacquer dragons and glazed phoenixes, which is very impressive...
The walls of the library are covered with vines, and the tiles on the attic are also shining with the light of history. This is one of the most mysterious places in the palace. It is said that there are countless precious books and secrets hidden in it.
The two stood in front of the library, feeling a little nervous. They knew that to enter here, they not only needed the emperor's permission, but also the pass token from the old emperor.
Now that Jiang Yimo has obtained both of these things, they cannot give up the opportunity to enter the library at all, because they need to find an ancient book about the thousand-year history of lotus.
The two looked at each other, and then stepped onto the stairs of the library together. Their footsteps echoed in the silent attic, as if announcing their determination and courage. Their heartbeats also became faster and faster, as if they were about to jump out of their throats.
"Momo, take out the pass token and put it in the recess of the attic door, and the two attic doors will open automatically."
After hearing Feng Wuhen's words, Jiang Yimo took out the green token that the old emperor gave her from her small bag without hesitation. She held the token tightly, her mind became complicated, and the green light on the token flickered in the dark, as if guiding her in the direction of progress.
She took a deep breath, then gently placed the token into the groove of the library door. When the token and the groove were perfectly matched, the two library doors in front of them began to slowly open.
The door hinges made a low sound, as if telling an ancient history.
The library was filled with an old smell, a mixture of paper and dust.
Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen walked in lightly. Her steps were as light as a kitten, as if she was afraid of waking up this attic filled with knowledge.
She looked up and was greeted by a sea of books. The entire first floor of the attic was filled with countless books, densely packed together, as magnificent as a small mountain.
These books range from ancient classics to scientific and geographical readings, covering all areas of human knowledge.
In the middle of the first floor, there is a table with writing brushes, inkstones, and paper on it. The table looks a bit old, but the stationery on it is neatly arranged, as if waiting for some literati to come and write.
Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen walked to the table and gently stroked the inkstone on the table, feeling its cold texture. She imagined that she could also use this pen to write down her thoughts and feelings like the ancient literati.
Jiang Yimo looked up at the books in front of her again and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, although these books are all labeled, it's not easy for me to find the books I want, right?"
Feng Wuhen looked at Jiang Yimo tenderly and said softly, "It's okay, don't worry. We'll take our time and we'll definitely find the book you want. If we can't find it on the first floor, we'll go to the second and third floors." His voice was full of patience and determination, which made Jiang Yimo feel his support and encouragement.
Jiang Yimo nodded slightly, feeling touched. She looked up and around, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. Although she saw that the library had five floors from outside, she had walked around the first floor of the library since she came in, and she didn't see any stairs leading to the second floor.
She couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, have you ever been to the second floor of the library? Where is the staircase to the second floor?"
Feng Wuhen smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course I have been there before. My father brought me to this library once." He paused, then continued, "Look, there are no stairs around here, that's because the stairs to the second floor are here."
As he spoke, he walked to a wall and gently pushed open a hidden stone door. Behind the door was a narrow staircase that spiraled up to the second floor.
