Gu Qiqi quickly retracted her gaze and stuck out her tongue. “Yes, yes, yes. Let’s go to the Treasure Pavilion! Can’t I admire another girl’s looks?”

As she walked, she couldn’t help but talk to Bei Mingtian. “Little Tiantian, do you think such a pure and cute Princess Xin Ya will use that secret trick tonight?”

Bei Mingtian was speechless.

God knows! Anyway, he was sure he wouldn’t use it.

He will firmly refuse!

Bei Mingtian continued walking without a word. Gu Qiqi quickly followed.

He was very familiar with the layout of the bedchamber. He passed through the long corridor and took many turns before bringing Gu Qiqi to an inconspicuous side hall.

“This is the Treasure Pavilion?” Gu Qiqi was dumbfounded.

Bei Mingtian nodded. “Yes.”

Gu Qiqi scanned the surroundings. If this was the Treasure Pavilion, wouldn’t the king be too careless?! He placed the treasure in such a simple and crude side hall.

The suet white jade dragon on the shelf was probably worth more than the entire side hall’s facilities. However, it was just casually placed there without any fear of being taken away.

The people from the royal family was really interesting.

The entire side hall was filled with countless treasures, but there was no sign of the green Tridacna she was looking for.

Seeing the disappointment in Gu Qiqi’s eyes, Bei Mingtian pointed at a golden screen. “There’s another secret room behind. Do you want to take a look?”

Gu Qiqi’s eyes lit up.

“I know that the royal family must still be hiding a big secret. How could they let us see all the treasures so easily?”

She walked behind the screen and saw a bronze lock on the polished marble door.

She tried to unlock it but it wouldn’t open.

There was something mysterious about this lock.

Bei Mingtian followed and looked down at the lock. “This lock can only be opened with royal blood.”

Gu Qiqi held her forehead. “If I had known earlier, I would have secretly gotten some blood from the queen… Sigh, but the queen is so beautiful and her words are so interesting. I can’t bear to do it…”

Bei Mingtian was speechless.

He also wanted to strangle this silly woman. If she wasn’t so cute, he would have done it long ago!

Just as Gu Qiqi was at a loss.

Outside the side hall, there was a sudden shout. “Who is it? Who is being impudent in the Treasure Pavilion!”

It was General Yu Ye’s loud voice and the white Tibetan Mastiff he was holding. Gu Qiqi immediately tensed up. “Little Tiantian, run! I’ll block anything. I can’t implicate you!”

She stood in front of Bei Mingtian without hesitation and was especially loyal.

However, Bei Mingtian sighed softly.

He bit his finger and dripped a drop on the lock.

The bronze lock clicked open.

He grabbed Gu Qiqi and the two of them crashed into the room behind the marble door.

In the next second, the stone door closed silently!

When General Yu Ye and the white dog rushed to the stone door, they only saw a smear of blood on the bronze lock. “Did the queen come just now?”

Yu Ye looked down and thought for a moment before leaving.

Behind the stone door, Gu Qiqi was so shocked that she grabbed Bei Mingtian’s sleeve tightly. “Hey, you opened the door just now!”

Bei Mingtian said, “Yes.”

Gu Qiqi said, “But only the royal bloodline can open this door lock.”

Bei Mingtian said, “Yes.”

He thought that Gu Qiqi would understand everything.

And yet…

Gu Qiqi pondered for a moment and suddenly raised her head. “Little Tiantian, when did you steal the queen’s blood when I wasn’t paying attention?! You’re too loyal!”

She punched Bei Mingtian’s shoulder in admiration.

Bei Mingtian was in tears.

He really did look defeated. Was it so difficult for her to connect the dots?
