The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl

Chapter 321 - 320: The Emperor Without a Daughter (Bonus - for Recommendation Tickets)

The Royal Spiritual Weapon Vault suddenly caught fire in the middle of the night, with flames raging fiercely. When the fire was extinguished, the first level of the vault suffered severe damage, and even though the remaining levels were slightly better, many ancient books were damaged.

The cause of the fire was quickly determined.

"The old eunuch in charge of guarding the vault took bribes and secretly hoarded quite a few silver notes. While counting the silver notes at midnight, a fire broke out accidentally. By the time it was discovered, the person was already charred, and some silver notes were found."

Captain Yang, along with a group of the Imperial Guard, extinguished the fire, and after finding out the reason, he hurried to report.

"Damn servant! Have the origins of those silver notes been investigated?"

Emperor Longteng was furiously outraged.

Such an incident happened within the Imperial Palace, and he was completely unaware.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it appears they were given by royal relatives and court officials who stored their belongings here... the silver notes have all been destroyed."

Captain Yang dared not say more.

At the scene of the Spiritual Weapon Vault, there were still some silver notes scattered about with the Empress’s phoenix seal on them, but who would dare to defy Empress Feng.

To be honest, in his many years serving in the palace, Captain Yang had never encountered such a strange fire.

A few silver notes could hardly cause such a massive blaze.

This inevitably reminded Captain Yang of Miss Xin, who had just visited the Spiritual Weapon Vault during the day.

The old eunuch’s attitude towards her seemed not very good; at the time, he even stood up for Miss Xin, only to encounter such an incident.

However, this matter should just be a coincidence.

After all, Miss Xin had left in the evening, and the fire had nothing to do with her.

"Check the books, those on the third and fourth levels have not been damaged, right?"

Emperor Longteng pondered for a moment and knew that this matter should not be pursued too deeply. In any case, the books on the first level are just Yellow-grade Cultivation Techniques and those of Eighth Rank Spirit Arts or lower. Their destruction would not be a great loss.

Only that one book on the third floor... The Royal Spiritual Weapon Vault had four levels, containing Cultivation Techniques and Spirit Arts of Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang grades and Third, Sixth, Ninth Rank.

The most books were stored on the first and second levels. Above the third level, the number of books decreased. By the third and fourth levels, there were only a few dozen books, which are the most important Martial Arts and Spirit Arts of Longteng. Only the country’s most distinguished heroes and those at the level of the Crown Prince could enter to borrow them.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the books above the third and fourth levels are protected by summoning spells, and have not been damaged."

Captain Yang reported.

"By the way, today you accompanied the girl from Bei Qing to borrow Cultivation Techniques and Spirit Arts, which ones did she pick?"

Emperor Longteng asked casually, as if the question was of no particular consequence.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Miss Xin chose a book on... Royal Garden Cultivation Techniques."

Captain Yang hesitated for a moment before reporting truthfully.

Upon hearing this, a flicker of intrigue flashed in Emperor Longteng’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared as he concealed his expression.

"This girl from Bei Qing is indeed somewhat unique."

Emperor Longteng said thoughtfully, while Empress Feng, standing beside him and hearing about the fire in the Spiritual Weapon Vault, had a slightly solemn face.

She had a premonition that this matter was definitely related to Xin Lin.

"Your Majesty, as I have said before, that Xin Lin is ignorant and incompetent. Given such a great opportunity, if it were anyone else, they would surely cherish it. Unlike her, she squanders her prospects. If the people from other countries knew that our Longteng Country’s top scorer in this year’s Imperial Examination had such character, they would laugh their heads off."

Empress Feng said with ill-intent.

"Girls are, after all, good at planting flowers and grass, gentle and obedient. In the future, finding her a good household will do. I somewhat envy Bei Qing, having a daughter. Unlike me, the harem is filled, yet I don’t have a single daughter."

Emperor Longteng replied nonchalantly.

Emperor Longteng held a high position, and now with Longteng Country in peace and the people secure, Emperor Longteng could be said to have everything go his way.

However, there was one thing that made Emperor Longteng very unhappy; although his harem was filled with three thousand beauties, he had very few children, all of whom were Princes, and he did not have a single Princess.
