The soldier cupped his hands in front of him and lowered his head as he reported, "Your Majesty, this lowly soldier have something to report!"

Emperor Yun\'s eyebrows creased when he saw the soldier and wanted nothing but behead him for interrupting the banquet. What were the guards outside doing? Letting a lowly soldier in without even announcing his arrival?

He looked at the head eunuch beside him. The head eunuch instantly understood his intention and went to drag the soldier away from the ears of everyone and hear what he had to report.

Even though Emperor Yun didn\'t like the fact that the soldier came in without announcing his arrival, he was no simple man and knew just from seeing the paleness of the soldier\'s face and the badge hanging on his belt.

Yu Fangzhu was also alerted at the sudden appearance of the soldier and recognized him as one of the soldiers he appointed to guard the cave during the Rabbit Moon festival by looking at the special badge.

However, it was a mystery why the guard that he personally picked out among the others came looking he had crawled on a dirty ground and was panicking.

Yu Fangzhu looked over at his father who gave him a signal to go after the eunuch and the soldier to hear what the soldier had to say.

With the soldier and eunuch gone, the loud abuzz of people chattering lessened, and everyone became tensed after seeing the emperor and Yu Fangzhu\'s strange look on their faces..

Emperor Yun looked at his empress who smiled and turned to everyone in the hall.

"Since the festival has finally started. His majesty is humble and wanted to bestow some gifts to everyone. I hope everyone wouldn\'t ridicule our little gifts." Empress Qi said with a smile that she masterfully practiced over the years she had stayed inside the palace walls.

With the empress interjection, everyone couldn\'t keep on looking tensed and flashed their perfect smiles, acting as if nothing happened.

"His majesty is excellent and benevolent. There is no way us subjects think that his gifts are humble or little."

"Thanking your majesty!"

Everyone bowed and showed their gratefulness to the rulers. They didn\'t raise their questions and went to the flow that the empress had created.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiaofei didn\'t know whether to laugh or cry because of how the rulers use their authority to silence and influence their subjects based on their words and mood.

As always, the empress knew how to help the emperor when trouble is knocking on his way.

Lin Xiaofei smiled evilly at the thought that her plans were finally playing its role in making trouble for the royal family.

It was only right for her to use Shen Mo\'s ability instead of going to the cave herself.

----

Two hours ago.

Shen Mo stood before a small hole. He touched the cloth bag he was carrying and wiped the tears in his eyes.

\'Why is it me again?\' He thought.

A day ago, the fourth young miss or the mistress of death that he had been trying to avoid like a plaque found him again after the case of Ke Song and for that time when he had to accompany her outside. Shen Mo had been trying to avoid her and hid in his scared hiding place.

But who knew that Lin Xiaofei easily located him and now he had to do another errand for her.

Stepping forward, Shen Mo was hesitating to use this hole that looked like it was the mouth of a monster that would eat him alive and spit his bone once done.

He didn\'t know what was the real purpose of his errand but with her cold glare and deadly threat that his mistress had promised to him, even if he wanted to escape, Shen Mo knew better than to anger Lin Xiaofei and end up like Ke Song.

Upon shuddering at the memories of that night, Shen Mo steeled his heart and started to crawl in the hole. It was so narrow that he could only use his arms to move forward.

As for where he was heading, Lin Xiaofei only told him that she wanted him to take a fun trip inside a cave but he won\'t be using the main entrance where Yu Fangzhu\'s men would be stationed but instead this small hole.

Grumbling under his breath, Shen Mo swore he won\'t obey her orders again and this will be the last time he would do something for her.

It took him two quarters of an hour and finally, he could see the other end of the small tunnel or hole he crawled into.

With a little struggle and more cursing, Shen Mo finally got out of the small tunnel like he was a newborn baby coming out of his mother\'s womb. He walked to his right as per as Lin Xiaofei\'s instructions.

As he continued to walk inside the cave, Shen Mo found no living being inside but there were other things that he observed.

Aside from the colorful and several gems that were on the floor, the walls, and the ceilings of the cave, there were also countless bones scattered everywhere and made the beauty of the cave spine-chilling and sinister.

No matter where he looked at, the bones would accompany the gems as they scattered all around the cave as if they were also some kind of gems that were found inside the cave.

Walking a few more minutes inside the cave, Shen Mo stopped right in front of a huge wall, the only wall that had no gems sticking in it.

"This must be it…" he told himself as he remembered what Lin Xiaofei had told him to do after facing the wall.

He slung the cloth bag off his body and unwrapped what was inside it. A hexagonal wooden box that was made from a high-quality wood was inside the bag.

With shaking hands and heartbeat hammering against his ribcages, Shen Mo felt that his mistress was indeed trying to kill him by making him do this.

He opened the box and saw what was inside the box and made his blood boil in fear and anxiety.

"This is not my fault… My mistress only wanted to launch a huge firework to celebrate the start of the festival." He muttered as he lit the wick.
