Lin Yi hastily got up from the ground and strode to the entrance of Qiankun Palace. From now on, casual visitors are not allowed inside, otherwise it could be life-threatening.

"Lin, Lord Lin." The Minister of Dali Temple was panting and sweating profusely, looking completely drained.

Taking the camera from the Minister of Dali Temple, Lin Yi casually checked his pulse.

"Pulse is deep, deficiency of kidney yin."

"You, just after running a few laps today, have already revealed that you lack vitality and are slow in action. If you were sent to the border, let alone fighting on the battlefield, it would be a blessing if you could even keep up with the military."

Hearing that he could be sent to the border, the Minister of Dali Temple was immediately frightened and repeatedly kowtowed.

"Lord Lin, Lord Lin, please spare my life. I have an eighty-year-old mother and seven hungry children at home. I cannot go to the border."

Another coward, Lin Yi did not let the Minister of Dali Temple stand up but instead asked.

"Have you been sweating in your sleep at night recently, and the sweating stops when you wake up, accompanied by tinnitus?"

The Minister of Dali Temple nodded vigorously; Lin Yi was right about everything, and his respect for Lin Yi grew.

"Yes, exactly."

"Who would have thought Lord Lin's medical skills are so exquisite, truly admirable."

Upon hearing this, Judge Zhong could only shake his head. He originally didn't want to overshadow the Minister of Dali Temple, who held a higher official rank than himself.

But alas, the Minister of Dali Temple was unaware of the major events happening in the court today, which was rather awkward.

"Cough, cough."

Judge Zhong cautiously approached the Minister of Dali Temple and whispered, "Lord, today, Divine Doctor Zhang has officially taken over the Imperial Physician's office."

Upon hearing about Divine Doctor Zhang, the Minister of Dali Temple's eyes lit up, and he eagerly said, "That's great. I've been looking for Divine Doctor Zhang for a long time. From now on, I can directly go to the Imperial Physician's office."

Seeing the Minister of Dali Temple looking pleased, Judge Zhong felt awkward, as the Minister hadn't really grasped the significance of the statement.

Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head; it seemed that the Minister of Dali Temple did not care much about state affairs, to be unaware of such an important court matter.

Seeing that hints were failing, Judge Zhong had no choice but to state bluntly.

"Minister of Dali Temple, Divine Doctor Zhang's master is none other than Lord Lin himself."

"What?"

The Minister of Dali Temple was thunderstruck, staring intensely at Lin Yi, and the next second, he fainted.

This scene left Lin Yi both frustrated and amused.

"Little Zhong, fetch me some ink and brush. You guys, help this fat man up."

After writing a prescription, Lin Yi handed it to a servant.

"Send him back, and make sure this prescription is strictly followed."

After making arrangements for the Minister of Dali Temple, Lin Yi asked Judge Zhong to put on a bullet-proof vest and entered Qiankun Palace with him.

Lin Yi quickly took photos of every aspect of Qiankun Palace using the camera. Although Judge Zhong didn't understand the gadget, he was very observant throughout.

Suddenly, a series of silver needles shot towards them, the slight impacts startling him.

"Not good, Lord Lin, there's a hidden weapon!"

Judge Zhong instinctively pushed Lin Yi to one side, but accidentally sent him flying into a corner.

Thinking it was just a push, little did he know it seemed to trigger some mechanism, and the chair behind suddenly flew towards Lin Yi.

"Not good!"

Luckily, Lin Yi was quick to react and leaped into the air, narrowly escaping danger.

This chilling scene was hair-raising, and Judge Zhong was utterly stunned.

"Mr. Lin, are you alright?"

Judge Zhong helped Lin Yi up and moved him to a safer position.

"This Qiankun Palace is truly perilous." Lin Yi dusted off his clothes and looked at the rows of silver needles on the ground that failed to accomplish their sinister intent, suddenly feeling the relief of having narrowly escaped disaster.

After the danger had passed, Lin Yi disclosed his plan; he must find the infrared life detector.

According to Lin Yi's conjecture, it was very likely that the device was hidden in an underground chamber, but finding that chamber was easier said than done.

With this thought, he used a walkie-talkie to seek verification from the young Emperor.

However, the young Emperor knew nothing of the Qiankun Palace's underground secrets.

Just as Lin Yi was at a loss, Judge Zhong, fixated on the chair from before, suddenly made a new discovery.

"Mr. Lin, please look! What is this?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi hurried over, only to see a palm-sized black object at the base of the wall where it had been impacted, with half a wire sticking out.

It was a battery!

"I've found it, this is part of what I was looking for in that black wooden box."

Finally having a clue, Lin Yi was enormously thrilled; he looked around, as the battery being nearby meant the infrared life detector should be close as well.

"Mr. Lin, may I take a look at what you have in your hand?" Judge Zhong was naturally curious.

People from ancient times had never seen such a novel object, and since Lin Yi treated it as significantly important, it definitely was an extremely important clue.

Noticing Judge Zhong's sharp observation skills, Lin Yi did not hesitate to hand over the battery with wires to him.

Of course, Lin Yi also briefly explained to Judge Zhong the use and structure of this battery from the future.

Judge Zhong's attention, however, was focused on the exposed half of the wire.

"Mr. Lin, this section appears to have been pulled forcefully, leaving traces, and there are even marks from being bitten."

Being pulled out, resulting in a break, Lin Yi could understand.

But bitten? That was beyond Lin Yi's comprehension.

It should be noted that even the five assassins hiding in the rafters on the first day, lowly ranked as they might have been, were skilled fighters selected by the old eunuch.

If his infrared life detector fell into their hands, it could be directly handled with a knife, there was absolutely no need to bite through it.

If it wasn't bitten by a person, could there be a wild beast involved?

Thinking this, Lin Yi also felt it necessary to call Keke over.

"Little Zhong, wait here, don't move around, or you can go directly to the entrance and wait for me, I will make a trip to His Majesty's Imperial Study Room."

Stepping out of Qiankun Palace, the sky had completely darkened, and the moon had risen above the trees, but the Right Martial Guards stationed outside the gate remained motionless.

Lin Yi hurried towards the Imperial Study Room.

Just as he entered, Lin Yi could see from afar the young Emperor busy reviewing documents, while Ying Yi attentively took care of him.

This harmonious scene between the 'wives,' Lin Yi couldn't help feeling proud.

'Hehe, this must be what is known in future times as family harmony.'

"Sir!" Ying Yi, unable to contain his joy upon hearing Lin Yi's return, had the eager expression of a little wife who had finally awaited her husband's return.

Of course, the young Emperor also set down the documents in-hand, propped his cheeks with both hands, and gazed at Lin Yi with infatuation.

"Hey, husband, my hands are tired, come and massage them for me."

Indeed, what man could resist such tender temptation.

Just as Lin Yi was about to rush towards the young Emperor, Keke and Luoluo suddenly emitted a series of fierce barks.
