Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1118: Night Visit to the Imperial Palace

Having become this flustered, he still needs to pretend he's lovesick. I've seen shameless people, but never anyone this shameless. Yun Baixuan inwardly despised Qin Yi with a vengeance.

Of course, he had to maintain an air of generosity on his face, "No problem, I'll have it cleaned up right away, and you can move in soon."

"Thanks!" Qin Yi waved his hand and staggered away.

Yun Baixuan's lips curled slightly; Qin Yi accepting his house, accepting these dancers, indicated that it was only a matter of time before he threw in his lot.

Immediately, Yun Baixuan gave a signal to a trusted aide, who understood tacitly and quietly followed Qin Yi.

Qin Yi stumbled all the way back to the Third Princess's residence, and the moment he closed the door to his room, his eyes turned clear, with no trace of intoxication.

Yun Baixuan, that man, smiles with hidden knives, a true Poison Snake.

If not for rescuing those dancers tonight, he wouldn't have tangled with Yun Baixuan so long.

However, after tonight, those people must think he's turned into some kind of pervert, right?

In a couple of days, I'll go and pledge allegiance to Yun Baixuan. If he wants to recruit me, he'd better be prepared to go bankrupt; Yun Baixuan seems to look quite wealthy.

Qin Yi's gaze flickered slightly, opened the back window, and quietly left.

He planned to infiltrate the palace tonight.

Qin Yi knew the Royal Family was full of masters, but he was worried about the safety of Yun Mengyao and the other two women; he wouldn't be at ease without seeing them.

The entire Yunyue Empire Royal Family was so grandiose it seemed almost ridiculous.

Standing high above, Qin Yi looked down but couldn't see its end.

Moreover, the whole royal family was shrouded in a Great Array; although the array's level wasn't high, it covered a vast area and required massive resources to maintain its operation, which only the Royal Family could afford.

Qin Yi quietly broke through the array's barrier and slipped inside.

This array was purely defensive, with no offensive power.

Garbage.

That was Qin Yi's assessment of this Great Array. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Upon entering, as his Divine Thought spread, Qin Yi immediately sensed several terrifying presences hidden in the shadows.

These heavyweights possessed Qi only achievable by those in the Unification Late Stage, such guests are warmly welcomed in the Second Prince Mansion, but merely gatekeepers here. This reflects the Royal Family's immense power.

Qin Yi concealed his Qi and glided through the air like a ghost.

But this palace was too large, unreasonably so, and after running around for a long time, Qin Yi nearly made himself dizzy.

Where could Yun Susu and the others be held?

Perched in midair, Qin Yi pondered. Dashing around like a headless fly, he might not find the location where Yun Susu and the others were being held, even by dawn.

As a princess, Yun Susu, no matter how much she angered the Emperor, wouldn't be locked up in a dungeon. And being female, she might be confined within the harem. Qin Yi's knowledge of the Royal Family comes from history books and TV dramas, so he's unsure if this world's Royal Family has a harem.

But in this large cage, men and women are certainly separated.

According to Earth's norms, men usually stay in the east, women in the west.

Qin Yi determined his direction and headed west.

He doesn't know if he's going the right way, feeling quite lucky to some extent.

Running all the way here, Qin Yi felt it was more exhausting than a day's journey, considering how many hidden experts there were in the Royal Family. Some emanated such powerful Qi that it made his heart race, so he could only dodge them cautiously.

Recalling his earlier boast of being able to storm into the Royal Family and take the Emperor's head if he wished, Qin Yi now realized his arrogance was unfounded. With his current cultivation, if discovered, his only option would be to flee for his life.

"Hmm?" Suddenly halting, Qin Yi made a light interjection, feeling as if he'd sensed Yun Susu's presence just now.

With Divine Thought spread, he started moving back, having dashed hundreds of meters forward in mere seconds.

Found it, joy glinted in Qin Yi's eyes upon capturing Yun Susu's presence.

Looking down, he saw a luxurious secluded courtyard below, with glazed jade roofing, but the overgrown yard suggested it had been unoccupied for some time.

Several powerful presences were hidden around the courtyard.

This heartless Emperor, so wary even of his own daughter, was that necessary?

Qin Yi suppressed his Qi and cautiously landed in the yard without alerting anyone.

Looking up at the main hall in front, despite the cobwebs on the plaque, he could still make out the three characters for Anran Palace.

Locked up and they call this serene? What a damn irony.

Qin Yi stepped forward silently. If you looked closely, his feet never actually touched the ground, always about two centimeters above; he was walking on air.

Through the casement, he could see candle flames flickering inside the hall.

These three women must be terrified, sleeping would be impossible at this time, Qin Yi thought, before lightly pushing the door open and slipping inside.

But before he could close the hall door, a sudden gust of wind brushed across his face, causing pain. A master, he underestimated the master hidden within the hall; given the momentum, their cultivation was definitely Unification Late Stage or stronger.

In a flash, Qin Yi disappeared and reappeared several dozen meters away. Turning back, he looked, and was stunned... a woman, and it wasn't Yun Susu—damn, mistaken identity.

The woman was clearly taken aback too, looking at her empty hand, seemingly disbelieving Qin Yi had managed to escape her grasp.

Qin Yi was surprised to encounter a female expert. Judging by appearance, she seemed in her thirties, yet truly beautiful. Though dressed simply, her graceful body and strong aura couldn't be hidden.

Such a beautiful female expert, Qin Yi had never met before.

The woman looked at Qin Yi with a subtle surprise, evidently not expecting someone so young to escape her clutch.

"Who sent you?" she asked, her voice filled with an authoritative majesty that compelled respect.

Qin Yi scratched his nose, "If I said I got the wrong person, would you believe me?"

The woman's expression remained aloof, betraying no excess emotions, obviously not buying Qin Yi's words, coolly saying, "You're not one of the Royal Family, an outsider?"

Qin Yi teased, "Actually, I'm the Eldest Princess's husband."

The woman hesitated slightly, and coolly stated, "Did she send you to kill me?"

Qin Yi: "..."

My god, she actually believed it, was she really that easy to fool?

"No, I really got the wrong place. Let's make a deal, beauty; you let me go, and let's pretend this never happened, okay?"

"Beauty?" The woman looked utterly astonished, like she'd heard something inconceivable.

Qin Yi noticed her expression, puzzled at her shock from being called beautiful. He chuckled, "Have you never looked in a mirror, don't know how beautiful you are?"
