    After pondering for a moment, Ye Wen refused. He didn't know martial arts. Although holding such a weapon was useful to him, it was of little use.  Frowning slightly, Ye Xiang said in a deep voice: "What do I want to do with those things? I mean those divine weapons. Do you know where the treasure is hidden in the palace?" "Go back to Your Highness.  "The Imperial Palace is where royal things are stored." Although he didn't know why the master suddenly asked this, Li Jinzhong answered immediately.  To him, the etiquette, justice, integrity, and differences between civil and military forces in this world are not important. What is important is that his master is happy.  Ye Xiang did not hesitate and quickly asked Li Jinzhong to lead the way to the Imperial Prison.  The imperial prison is a place that specializes in making utensils for the royal family. It is responsible for making wooden utensils such as screens and beds used in the palace, as well as red sandalwood, ivory, ebony and other playware.  In the warehouse of the imperial prison, treasures left by emperors of all dynasties are stored. Antiques, porcelain, and all kinds of valuable and rare things can be found here.  The Imperial Prison located in the northwest corner of the palace is a row of houses with earth and stone structures. This is one of the few buildings in the entire Forbidden City.  The red stone walls, black gates, and colorful glazed tiles are all similar to other palaces.  But this is one of the most heavily guarded places in the palace. It is almost the same as Emperor Taichang's palace, and even more tightly guarded than the prince's palace.  The eunuch in charge of the imperial palace is called Chen Hua. He is in his fifties, but he is well maintained and does not look very big.  Although he didn't know what the prince was doing here, he didn't dare to neglect it.  After all, there are rumors in the palace that His Majesty's health seems to be failing, and the Crown Prince is likely to ascend the throne. It is very important to please the new master.  Now that he had such an opportunity, he would naturally not let it go, and even flattered Li Jinzhong who was next to the prince.  Ignoring the small movements of the two people, Ye Xiang slowly walked into the warehouse of the imperial prison, looked at the neat wooden shelves, and nodded gently.  During this period of life in the city, Ye Xiang gradually adapted to it and developed a strong immunity to rare treasures.  When he came to a shelf deep in the room, Ye Xiang was a little excited when he looked at the things in front of him.  Countless long boxes are placed on the shelves, some are made of fine small-leaf rosewood, some are gold-inlaid boxes with jade, and some are even made of golden nanmu.  Gently stroking a box, he turned back to Chen Hua and asked, "Are all the swords stored in the palace here?" After bowing respectfully, Chen Hua smiled and said, "Back to Your Highness, yes, they are all here. These are all here.  Most of them were left by Taizu and Chengzu, and the palace has not purchased any more for many years. Since His Highness wants weapons, I thought these swords should be suitable. After all, swords are weapons for a gentleman, and they are very suitable for His Highness's status. "  Nodding, Ye Xiang glanced at Chen Hua differently. It seemed that people who could achieve a certain position were not simple characters.  Ye Xiang smiled calmly and said: "Yes, you are thoughtful." "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. As long as the master is happy, we slaves are blessed." Chen Hua also looked happy at this time and smiled.  said.  Although he is the imperial eunuch's palm eunuch at this time, that may not be the case tomorrow.  Since ancient times, there has been a saying that there is one emperor and one courtier. This rule is even more obvious among eunuchs. Each prince has his own personal eunuch.  Basically, they have been with him since he was a child, and after he ascended the throne, he was naturally promoted vigorously.  Firstly, these people are easy to use, and secondly, after all, these people are the people around you, and they have to work hard without any credit. Naturally, you will not forget them when you become rich.  So for these people, being able to please their master is naturally extremely important.  "You guys go out first! I'll take a look for myself." Ye Xiang waved to the two of them and motioned for them to leave first.  "My slave, please retire." After the two of them bowed, they slowly retreated.  When the two of them walked to the door, Li Jinzhong looked at Chen Hua with a very unkind expression, and said lightly: "Eunuch Chen is really good at doing things. His Highness the Crown Prince praises you!" Chen Hua heard the dissatisfaction in Li Jinzhong's words, and his eyes flashed.  After a moment of enlightenment, he smiled flatteringly and said: "Look at what you said, no one in this palace will have to look at you in the future. I hope Eunuch Li will take care of you in the future." After saying this, he put it in Li Jinzhong's hand.  I bought a emerald green jade ring, which is not ordinary at first glance.  "What Eunuch Chen said is that our family is just a servant of His Highness the Crown Prince. We are just doing our best to run errands for our Lord." Seeing Chen Hua being so kind, Li Jinzhong also smiled and expressed his goodwill.  After all, Li Jinzhong was just the eunuch beside the prince at this time, while Chen Hua was the eunuch in charge of the royal palace. As long as he expressed goodwill, the two of them would be tacitly understanding each other.  Ignoring the eunuchs outside, Ye Xiang focused all his attention on the box in front of him. He gently opened the box in front of him, and there lay a sword quietly inside. It had an ordinary sword body, an ordinary style, and looked?Not unusual at all.  But Ye Xiang knew that it was definitely not an ordinary item that could be placed here, and it was the collection of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di. I believe it was definitely a treasure.  He gently picked up the sword, which was heavy in his hand. He gently held the hilt and pulled hard, but no matter how hard Ye Xiang tried, the sword would not come out of its sheath.  This made him a little angry. Did he still have to choose the owner of this broken sword?  Suddenly I remembered a book I had read before. Ancient swords all had broken springs.  Holding the sword in front of his eyes, Ye Xiang searched carefully on the sword. Finally, his efforts paid off and he found a golden button under the hilt.  After letting out a gentle breath, Ye Xiang pressed the golden button with his fingers. After thinking for a moment, Ye Xiang exerted force.  With this press, a cold light suddenly flashed across the dark room, like a flash of lightning, and the sword seemed to be suddenly ejected from something.  Half of the sword was exposed, and the other half was still in the scabbard. Although he was shocked, Ye Xiang was overjoyed. It turned out that there really was such a magical weapon in the world.  Gently hold the hilt of the sword and pull the treasure outward. As the blade rubs against the scabbard, the clear sword sound rings in Ye Xiang's ears.  Looking at the sword, which was as bright as autumn water, he was very excited. It was indeed a good thing, and it was definitely as good as cutting iron like mud and blowing hair into pieces.  Looking around subconsciously, Ye Xiang couldn't find anything to test the sword with. Finally, he gritted his teeth and pulled out a piece of hair from his head.  Although he grimaced in pain, Ye Xiang couldn't wait to put his hair on the blade of the sword, blew gently, and his hair was immediately divided into two sections and gently fell to the ground.  Ye Xiang picked up the sword excitedly and saw seven silver light spots scattered on the sword, which looked like the Big Dipper in the sky. Ye Xiang knew that the name of this sword should be the Seven Star Sword.
