In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 210: The Box That Opened

It would be better to let Han’er work harder in the military.

After all, military power was more useful than anything.

Seeing Imperial Consort Zhou "send him off with tea," Yue Mingxuan quickly slipped away, leaving as silently as possible.

Facing this old woman day after day, he had barely eaten several bowls of rice.

He wondered how the Emperor had endured it likely out of caution regarding the troops in the hands of her son and his own elder brother.

Sigh... in this world, even the Emperor could not act entirely freely.

As a small Prince, Yue Mingxuan had already considered himself fortunate simply to survive.

Although he had temporarily allied with Imperial Consort Hua, the longevity of this alliance was uncertain.

It would be best to escape the palace sooner rather than later.

As soon as Yue Mingxuan returned to his c ourtyard, he was called by a young medicine boy under Gongsun Xing: "Prince Yue, Miracle Doctor Gongsun requests your presence."

Although he was somewhat exhausted from the mental sparring with Imperial Consort Zhou, Yue Mingxuan still straightened up and followed the medicine boy to Gongsun Xing’s residence.

There, he discovered that Gongsun Xing had already moved to Chengqian Palace to treat Rong Qinglei and Shang Qinghua.

Just as Yue Mingxuan stepped inside with the medicine boy, he saw Gongsun Xing fiddling with an oddly shaped box.

Upon noticing Yue Mingxuan, he waved and said, "Yue Mingxuan, come and take a look. How should we handle this thing?"

When Yue Mingxuan stepped inside, he saw that Gongsun Xing was fiddling with a Rubik’s Cube and he couldn’t help but show a surprised expression.

Noticing his reaction, Gongsun Xing smiled and said, "I got this from some missionary who crossed the seas. It’s said that once all the colors on each side align, it will open by itself, revealing a treasure map inside."

Seeing Gongsun Xing so serious and almost fanatical, Yue Mingxuan suddenly found it amusing.

Gongsun Xing was considered one of the cleverest people in Beirong, yet he had been fooled by a missionary.

Even funnier, this was only a 4×4 Rubik’s Cube and he couldn’t solve it.

Taking the cube from Gongsun Xing’s hands, Yue Mingxuan casually twisted it two or three times and all six sides were perfectly aligned.

Gongsun Xing stared in astonishment as Yue Mingxuan solved the strange object he had spent days studying at an unbelievable speed.

His gaze toward Yue Mingxuan carried an odd mix of admiration and disbelief.

Yue Mingxuan whose noticing Gongsun Xing’s expression, he proudly lifted his chin.

He had once been famous in the army for his Rubik’s Cube skills when it came to this, no one could claim superiority over him.

However, their attention quickly shifted back to the cube.

Yue Mingxuan who had thought it was just a simple Rubik’s Cube saw it actually open by itself and revealing a small black box inside.

Huh? There really is a treasure map?

Looking at the black box, Yue Mingxuan reached out to open it, but Gongsun Xing stopped him. "Be careful. There might be traps."

Hearing him say that, Yue Mingxuan’s expression became serious.

For the ancients, something protected by a Rubik’s Cube could very well have traps.

The two exchanged a glance and Gongsun Xing carefully moved Yue Mingxuan aside before cautiously approaching the cube.

While holding his breath, he opened the box.

However, there was no hidden trap or mechanismand it’s just a simple box with a piece of paper inside.

Gongsun Xing took out the paper, glanced at it and tossed it aside. "What kind of nonsense is this?"

Yue Mingxuan picked up the paper Gongsun Xing had thrown on the table and couldn’t help but laugh quietly.

No wonder Gongsun Xing called it nonsense, the english language in it, to someone from the past was practically the same as gibberish.

Examining the contents closely, Yue Mingxuan frowned.

He had once studied the history of this dynasty.

Although alternate in nature, many aspects resembled ancient China; it was as if history had taken a slight detour, with customs and practices largely similar.

But the contents of this box were clearly modern English.

Forget about the grammatical structures that had only evolved in modern times; the elegant cursive written with a brush was not something an ancient person could produce.

It’s clearly, someone had traveled through time before him... though he had no idea where that person was now.

Staring at the English note in his hands, Yue Mingxuan fell into thought.

The contents of the note were actually simple: it listed coordinates in English and Arabic numerals.

Below were the coordinates of the main buildings in the Beirong Imperial City.

Using these buildings as reference points, he could probably locate the address written on the note quite quickly.

Seeing Yue Mingxuan remain silent for so long, Gongsun Xing worried that the note might contain a poison designed for Ger.

He pulled a pair of golden silk gloves from his pocket and gently poked him with his finger.

"Yue Mingxuan... are you all right?"

Watching Gongsun Xing’s actions, Yue Mingxuan felt both exasperated and amused.

This was probably a doctor’s occupational habit, thinking of poisoning in every situation.

He turned his head and grabbed the tip of Gongsun Xing’s glove. "Hmm, these gloves aren’t bad. Give them to me."

Seeing Yue Mingxuan with such a shameless expression, Gongsun Xing was also equal parts annoyed and amused.

These golden silkworm gloves were no ordinary item and they were made from the silk of snow silkworms found in the snowy regions of the Tianshan Mountains and the tendons of a dragon from the depths of the Northern Sea.

The finest weavers had spent three years crafting them.

They were truly impervious to blades, fire, and water and could resist hundreds of poisons.

Gongsun Xing was not exaggerating, over the past few centuries across the Four Kingdoms, there probably hadn’t been another pair like these.

If he hadn’t initially been spooked by that strange device, he wouldn’t have nervously taken them out.
