The Second Princess Guan Baozhu followed the attendant who had come to deliver the message from Yuan Yuan and quickly left the Second Prince's Residence.

Two carriages were already waiting outside the gate.

She didn't take the Imperial Medical Academy's carriage, but instead boarded the exquisite royal carriage and headed towards the Imperial Medical Academy.

The attendant leading the way showed no surprise, and only stepped onto the Imperial Medical Academy's carriage after watching the princess board the car.

Inside the carriage, a personal maidservant beside her straightened the robes she had hastily put on.

Other maids were also combing her waist-length hair and applying makeup to her.

Guan Baozhu looked rather haggard at the moment, and she was well aware of it, so she instructed her maid to apply makeup to brighten her complexion.

Her father, Guan Xiangming, had been demoted, and now her husband, the Second Prince Yuan Yuan, was in trouble, filling her with worry.

At the same time, she had to manage the affairs of the Second Prince's Residence and deal with the ladies and young women who came to inquire about information.

She only looks slightly haggard now, which is entirely due to her pride as the Guan Family's Eldest Legitimate Daughter and the princess consort.

However, she had no complaints about it.

Having enjoyed a superior material life since childhood, they naturally had to obey family arrangements and safeguard the interests of their faction.

In just a few moments, her clothes and makeup were all done.

She transformed once again into the glamorous yet composed and dignified Second Prince's Consort.

The carriage traveled for quite a while on the smooth stone-paved road inside the Dragon Palace before stopping.

The moment the Second Prince's Consort's carriage arrived, the Imperial Medical Academy's carriage also stopped behind the Imperial Carriage.

We've arrived at the Imperial Medical Academy.

The royal carriage automatically extended its escalator, and the maids climbed out first, then quickly turned around and respectfully helped the princess down from the carriage.

It was the dead of night, and the area outside the Imperial Medical Academy was eerily quiet.

However, because the second prince was present, many guards were still patrolling the vicinity.

The guards on duty at the gate saw a carriage bearing the dragon emblem belonging to the Second Prince stop, and immediately stood up, stepped forward, and bowed in salute.

The Second Prince's wife, supported by her maid, slowly stepped out of the carriage, ignoring the guards standing nearby.

She gestured for the messenger to lead the way, and quickly walked into the Imperial Medical Academy.

After crossing the threshold, we entered a large courtyard that covered a considerable area.

Once inside, the surroundings felt less deserted.

Because doctors who are working through the night decocting medicine, preparing reagents, and gathering medicinal materials will occasionally pass by.

Upon seeing Guan Baozhu, they would immediately stop what they were doing or halt in their tracks, bowing respectfully to the imperial concubine.

Guan Baozhu had no time to pay attention to them and followed the servants straight to the courtyard where the Second Prince was recuperating.

After arriving at the Second Prince's temporary residence, she dismissed the servant and had her own men stand guard nearby.

Only then did she begin to knock gently on the door.

"Enter."

Yuan Yuan's somewhat weak voice rang out. Guan Baozhu's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of worry clearly flashed in her eyes.

She pushed the door open and entered, then turned around and closed it.

Yuan Yuan did not speak immediately, but watched as Guan Baozhu took out a pen and a bottle of shimmering ink from her sleeve.

The white bristles of the jade brush were stained with a trace of ink, and as Guan Baozhu waved his hand, a simple magic circle was drawn.

Psychic Energy suppression, signal shielding, protective barriers,...

Most of these magic arrays are original arrays that have not been modified by the Third Research Institute; they are ancestral arrays passed down through generations of the Guan Family.

It's more than enough to prevent eavesdropping.

She didn't use the modified version from the Third Research Institute because it contained a "backdoor" installed by the institute.

This intelligence was certainly not obtained through clandestine investigation; it was an open secret.

Although many of the Guan Family's children also went on to work in research institutes.

However, the Guan Family knew better than anyone that the results that could be made known were deliberately revealed.

It's not worth risking the lives of family members who have worked so hard to get into the core of the research institute for such a trivial achievement.

As for the pen and ink, they were part of Guan Xiangming's dowry to Guan Baozhu.

Therefore, the item was in Guan Baozhu's possession, not with Yuan Yuan.

This is one of the main reasons why Yuan Yuan sought out Guan Baozhu immediately.

Yuan Yuan spoke only after Guan Baozhu had finished installing all the equipment.

"Secretly inform my father-in-law that I need to contact the Second Research Institute to reshape my physical body."

Guan Baozhu immediately understood and replied, "Yes."

Next, Yuan Yuan gave her a lot of instructions, Guan Baozhu answered one by one, but she did not make any decisions regarding the family.

She would be in charge of delivering the message, but whether or not to help was a matter for her father, who was in charge of the old patriarch.

"Anomaly in Psychic Energy has been detected again in the Imperial Medical Academy area."

"The Second Prince's temporary residence?"

"Yes."

"Report this directly; this is beyond our control."

"Good."

The message was passed through layers of channels and reached a project team at the Third Research Institute, which was responsible for processing and analyzing the Psychic Energy fluctuations within the Dragon Palace area.

"Ignore it; it's just the Psychic Energy fluctuations leaking out when the Guan Family's ancestral array is running."

The project team members made a judgment and, combined with the surveillance footage from the nearby glass palace lanterns, confirmed the figure of the Guan Family's Eldest Legitimate Daughter.

Just as high-ranking officials and nobles tacitly accept their surveillance.

The researchers in charge of monitoring also tacitly turned a blind eye.

After the researcher gave his approval, he stopped paying attention to the trivial matters at the Dragon Palace.

Not long ago, several research groups responsible for array formation research received a large amount of data on the use of Water-Gathering Formation from the front lines.

Because a lot of people have been sent out to work elsewhere, there are too few researchers to process the data, and they simply can't keep up with the workload.

So, the researchers in the same building came to help.

Of course, this is paid, and they will also receive a share of the data.

Data summarization and analysis are tedious and boring, which is the norm for researchers.

But they were happy with it, even ecstatic about the data generated after successfully triggering the tsunami.

This really fits the stereotype of a "mad scientist".

Shisui watched them from the distant seaweed forest, and Ukaku trembled slightly as he stopped.

Radiant Feathers and Feather Powder were scattered among the seaweed, mingling with the Psychic Energy bubbles.

He was slowly sealing off the entire research base, but it was simply too large and would take a considerable amount of time.

Moreover, there are guards here responsible for ensuring the safety of these researchers.

Based on his judgment, it was undoubtedly the Heaven Realm.

Therefore, he is currently only spreading information about Radiant Feathers and Feather Powder.

As for wiping them all out in one fell swoop, he's still only at the Earth Realm Third Realm, which makes it a bit difficult, so it's not advisable to act immediately.

Incidentally, the cargo fleet is still here. Attacking this research base now might prevent the fleet from setting sail.

This is equivalent to abandoning the exploration at the Second Research Institute.

Huge loss!

Therefore, Shisui did not intend to do anything more before the cargo fleet set sail again.

He was simply there to hear some gossip.

However, he did hear quite a bit.

For example, where were the dispatched personnel sent, and what projects were the various research groups working on?

Thanks to these researchers, he discovered that the Psychic Energy technology tree of the Sea Races was developing in a completely different direction from that of the Human Races.

Human Race's Psychic Energy technology is more geared towards mechanical development and is a byproduct of the technological explosion during wartime.

The Sea Race, on the other hand, developed their Psychic Energy technology based on their own heritage, primarily relying on Sea Race own innate talents, as well as formations and totems.

Although the Third Research Institute, which studies the use of Psychic Energy, started relatively late, it has developed extremely rapidly due to these traditions.

The Water-Gathering Formation that previously triggered the tsunami, Shisui the family crests on the carriages that Zi Sui saw in Chongming City.

These are all achievements of the Sea Race' Psychic Energy technology.

Shisui took out the Flesh Crystals and began to gnaw on it while exploring the research base.

Time passed slowly, dawn was approaching, and everything seemed to return to calm.
