After all, based on Lin Yi's understanding and Leng Yu's description, he can say that he is quite familiar with this Prince Dayou, who is nothing more than a downright spoiled heir.

He is completely inept at handling state affairs, yet he has an extraordinary fondness for beautiful women.

It is no exaggeration to say that since he ascended the throne, in just seven short years, he has collected nearly 700 women into the harem.

What concept is this? It means that every year, 100 women are selected by him, and if calculated by days, roughly every three days a woman would appear before him.

The way he swaps wives every three days is unheard of on the historical stage of Dayou Kingdom.

And this is not the end. Even with nearly a thousand individuals existing in his harem today, he remains unsatisfied and continues to command various officials under him to collect beauties from different places.

As for his achievements in governance, it's almost nothing, which is the reason why Prince Ning continues to suppress him.

Otherwise, if it were a slightly ambitious and idealistic emperor in his position, he wouldn't have been in the current situation even after seven years, at least not in a situation where someone could challenge his authority.

Sitting in his current position can be attributed to sheer chance, and he even possesses a ruthless heart.

This is why he personally eliminated his elder brother, who was originally another candidate for Prince Dayou.

In short, one sentence sums it up: this guy is absolutely unfit to be a ruler.

According to Leng Yu's previous introduction, Lin Yi feels even Prince Ning would be much better if he were in charge.

Of course, this doesn't mean Prince Ning is a good person, it's just a comparison against the current Prince Dayou.

Precisely because of this, Lin Yi has not an ounce of affection for this guy.

As for whether Leng Yu would deceive him or if everything she has said is untrue, Lin Yi doesn't have the slightest doubt.

Even if anyone else were to lie to him, Leng Yu wouldn't because her life and the lives of her people were saved by Lin Yi.

Moreover, based on Lin Yi's observation, that girl clearly is a person of character, which means she wouldn't concoct some lies.

After carefully surveying the Imperial Palace, Lin Yi used the computer system inside the Iron Man Armor to sketch a simplified map of the palace, with various notes by the system.

The system quickly completed the notes, and within his mind, he could summon a 1:1 replicated map of the current area anytime.

Not only that, but even the guards observed during his survey are marked on this map.

This map would undoubtedly be highly sought after if placed outside.

If it fell into the hands of people with ulterior motives, it would hold even greater value.

With this map, they could easily evade the guards and proceed with their assassination of Prince Dayou.

Eventually, Lin Yi selected a relatively secluded spot and operated the Iron Man Armor to land.

After landing, he glanced around to ensure no one had noticed him, then began to move forward following the prompts from the Iron Man Armor system.

At this moment, all the buildings before him were tagged with various informational text.

Naturally, this is attributed to the system, and these pieces of information are visible only to him, while others cannot observe them.

Or perhaps, these bits of information are projected out by the system solely for his assistance.

With the system's guidance, Lin Yi felt quite at ease moving about, without any sense of unfamiliarity.

Given that the system would immediately inform Lin Yi if there were guards ahead.

However, this doesn't mean he could directly find Prince Dayou.

Despite the map depicting routes in the Imperial Palace, it doesn't specify Prince Dayou's location.

He could only rely on guesswork in his search.

He also considered capturing a 'tongue' to ask, but feared alarming the enemy.

Who knows if these people have been brainwashed at this point and are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect Prince Dayou.

After all, this is a feudal dynasty, not the 21st century, so anything is possible.

And just like that, Lin Yi maneuvered his way successfully past guards on patrol and began searching within the harem.

However, to his frustration, he searched through two courtyards consecutively and still found no trace of Prince Dayou.

Moreover, the biggest disappointment for Lin Yi was that in these courtyards, all the residents were young women.

This indirectly proves the statements Leng Yu had made to him, confirming the guy as indeed a complete incompetent ruler.

"This search method is not working, depending solely on oneself while evading guards makes quick searches impossible; to scout the entire Imperial Palace at this rate would take several hours, which is time-consuming for him, the longer this drags on, unforeseen complications might arise."

Upon exiting one secluded courtyard, Lin Yi stood silently in the shadowed corner of a surrounding wall, could not help but ponder.

It seems he cannot continue to search blindly; even if it risks exposure, he must capture a tongue to inquire.

With this resolution, he decided to act immediately, no matter if discovered by the opposition, what could they do?

Even if everyone knows someone intruded the Imperial Palace by night, what's the harm?

Would he truly fear them?

If weren't for avoiding unnecessary trouble, he could easily stride in boldly.

With firm resolve, Lin Yi quickly operationalized his plan, his figure darting quickly through pathways until a target was found.

His target was a young eunuch who seemed to be walking alone briskly on the palace path.

Watching this, Lin Yi's lips curled slightly upward:

"Haha, you're the one."
