0558: Heart Of Life.
The autumn harvest has already begun, and the whole empire is busy.
After Qiao Ji finished dealing with the affairs of the territory, she asked the black cat girl to send the letter to Beigang by courier.
He took a sip of his tea, stood up and said, "Lian Xin, Lei Nai, let's go, let's go to the palace."
After Qiao Ji listened to Lei Sha and Li Ya's words yesterday, she planned to check the situation first.
After all, it is still unclear whether Yurafi knows the whereabouts of the Heart of Life. If not, it will be a bit difficult to find it in such a large palace.
"Yes." Lian Xin and Lei Nai stood up and said.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
Qiao Ji and the others left the courtyard of the Xili District and took a luxurious carriage to the Royal Palace in the Arte District.
After more than an hour.
The carriage of Qiao Ji and others stopped at the backyard of the palace, and led by the maids to the study of the palace.
In the study.
Yurafi was sitting on the main seat looking at the pile of documents, scratching his smooth forehead from time to time, showing a embarrassed expression.
"Yurafi." Qiao Ji called out loudly.
Hearing the sound, Yurafi raised his head and saw the handsome Qiao Ji, his distressed expression immediately turned into a happy one.
She quickly waved her hand and said crisply, "Qiao Ji, come quickly, aren't you busy today?"
"I don't have any big things to do today, I just wanted to see you." Qiao Ji walked to the seat on the right side of the empress and sat down.
"I have a lot of things to do here." Yurafi pouted at the documents on the desk.
She held her baby-fat side face with her snow-white hands, frowning and muttering, "I feel like I can't finish it no matter what I do."
Ever since Yurafi became an empress, her daily work has been so full that she hardly has time for herself.
Either to meet the nobles to talk about things, or to deal with the affairs of the empire, and sometimes go out for inspections and so on.
"Take your time, there are endless things to deal with, the body is more important." Qiao Ji reached out and pinched the empress Xuenen's face.
The reason why he pinches Yu Lafei's face like this is because the relationship between the two has gone a step further, and they have made their hearts clear to each other.
"I see." Yurafi closed her moist eyes, allowing the boy to pinch her face.
She smiled slightly, picked up a document from the table and asked softly, "Qiao Ji, I don't understand something, can you help me look?"
The document that Yurafi just processed was about taxes. Since she became the empress, she has started to reduce some unreasonable taxes.
However, this move made many nobles dissatisfied. After all, it touched their interests. For this reason, some nobles gathered together to make trouble.
"Of course." Qiao Ji took the document and browsed it.
He quickly read and put down the document, and said lightly, "It's very simple, if you encounter some troublesome nobles, just turn over the evidence about them..."
"That's right, if their criminal evidence is magnified, those nobles won't have time to worry about taxation."
Yurafi widened her golden eyes in surprise, pointed her pink lips with her slender index finger and said, "At the same time, it can also make some nobles restrain themselves."
"This matter has more advantages than disadvantages. Reducing taxes will only make your reputation higher and higher. Don't worry about those nobles' dirty tricks." Qiao Xing said softly.
"I see." Yurafi nodded happily.
Qiao Ji took the tea from Xilan and asked, "By the way, Yurafi, I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter?" Yurafi asked holding a cup of warm tea.
"Have you sent someone to count all the things left by Emperor Ao Pai and Emperor Tyon?" Qiao Ji asked, taking a sip of his tea.
"Send someone to check."
Yurafi Gold looked at the ceiling and asked softly, "Why all of a sudden?"
"There is one thing that is very important to me, and it is in the palace now." Qiao Ji said bluntly.
He doesn't want to hide it from the person he likes, besides, Yurafi will marry him sooner or later, there is nothing wrong with being open and honest with her.
Rather than sending someone to sneak into the palace to investigate the existence of the Heart of Life, it would be more frank to ask Yu Lafei directly.
Yurafi immediately put down the teacup and asked seriously, "What is it?"
"The holy object of the elves -- the heart of life, was stolen into the palace by Tyon before. Such things are very important to the elves..."
Qiao Ji paused, then continued, "If the elves can get back the sacred objects, it will also help us manage the empire in the future.
He told a white lie to Yurafi, after all, Emperor Austria was a respectable father to the Empress.
If Qiao Ji directly said that the Heart of Life was stolen by Emperor Ao Pai, it would definitely make Yurafi very sad.
"There's such a thing?" Yurafi said in disbelief.

She immediately stood up, took Qiao Ji's hand and said, "Then let's go to the treasury to have a look. Everything left by my father and elder brother is there."
"Okay." Qiao Ji nodded.
"Tat Tat Tat..."
Ten minutes later, Qiao Ji, You Lafei and others walked to the treasury of the palace.
"Empress." The twenty guards in front of the treasury saluted in unison.
Yurafi waved his hand lightly, took out the golden token on his waist, gave the knights a glance, and said lightly, "Open the door."
To enter the treasury of the palace, you need an exclusive golden token, otherwise the empress herself will not be able to open the door.
"Yes." Twenty knights responded in unison.
"Crackling."
As the three-meter-high and four-meter-wide black wood gate was slowly pushed open, the whole picture of the treasury fell into everyone's eyes.
The furnishings in the treasury are very simple. Except for a few stone pillars, dozens of wooden shelves are neatly placed on the right side, on which are placed treasures, gold sculptures, etc.
There are also many boxes of gold and coins, and some books and maps are neatly placed on the left side of the treasury.
"On the left are gold and coins, and on the right are treasures and some curiosities. Look for them." Yurafi said softly.
"Okay." Qiao Ji nodded lightly, walked to the wooden shelf and began to browse.
Lian Xin and Lei Nai also went to the wooden shelf to help find it, and they also read the drawings drawn by Lei Sha in advance.
Yurafi brushed Gold's hair and asked softly, "Qiao Ji, what does the heart of life look like?"
"A tree-shaped spar the size of a palm, the color is light green..." Qiao Ji turned his head and said.
"Then I'll help you find it too." Yurafi rolled up his sleeves and said.
"Okay." Qiao Ji rubbed the empress's head and said softly
five minutes later.
Qiao Ji saw a pale green crystal on the wooden shelf in the corner of the treasury, and said pleasantly, "It seems that I found it."
He picked up the Heart of Life and looked at it, a pale green crystal shone with a faint light, and its appearance was exactly as described by Leisha.
"Is this the Heart of Life? It looks so pretty." Yurafi Gold stared at the sacred object in a daze.
"Yeah, luckily it wasn't lost." Qiao Ji said with a sigh of relief.
