This was a storeroom, filled with Ursa's old belongings, clearly indicating that everything related to Ursa had been preserved here by Ozai.
Most importantly, Kori sensed that inside a box in the storeroom, there were many letters.
Both realized that, without a doubt, those letters would be the most important clue to solving the mystery!
The mont the clue about Ursa was discovered, Azula's composure and disguise instantly vanished, just like a person who had been thirsty for days seeing water and wildly wanting to pounce on it, only to be quickly restrained by Kahn.
"There are other people here, calm down!"
Kahn roared repeatedly into her ear, barely managing to pull Azula's rationality back, but she still stared unblinkingly at the box.
Kori was startled by Azula's sudden change, looking at her with so fear, and couldn't help but take half a step back.
Having no choice, Kahn left Azula there and took Kori out of the palace through the secret passage, thanking her:
"I'm really sorry to trouble you. You've truly helped us a great deal this ti."
After coming out of the secret room, Kori's fear in her heart lessened.
Recalling the scene just now, she said with so concern:
"It's alright, but Princess Azula's appearance just now... Is she alright?"
Kahn wasn't too sure about that either:
"She's alright... I think? Those things are indeed very important to her, which is why she got so emotional. You were scared, I apologize to you on her behalf."
Kori nodded, half-understanding:
"I see. All in all, this mission can be considered successfully completed, right?"
Kahn nodded, praising her:
"Of course, you are absolutely the top contributor! I believe Princess Azula will rember it."
"What about you, will you rember it?"
"?" Kahn was stunned for a mont, but still smiled:
"Of course I will too."
"But don't forget—"
"Keep it a secret! I know."
Hearing Kahn's words, Kori smiled happily, then waved to him, turned elegantly, and left with light steps.
"Then I'll go first. See you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow."
After seeing Kori off, Kahn had no ti to think about anything else.
He turned back, as the main event was yet to co.
—
Kahn didn't rush back, but first sought out Zuko.
Although he hadn't been involved these past few days, he was now one of them, and he couldn't be absent at such an important mont.
As expected, upon hearing the news about Ursa, Zuko was equally excited, pushing Kahn to rush to the secret room.
When the two returned to the secret room, Kahn found that Azula had already returned to normal.
She casually walked on the boxes, holding a few letters, with her usual smile on her face.
Seeing the two enter, Azula waved the envelopes in her hand.
"Found it, the clue."
Hearing this, Zuko anxiously snatched the envelope and began to read, while Azula on the side already began to slowly reveal the answer:
"Although the letters don't explicitly ntion mother's whereabouts, there's a very crucial clue—mother's hotown, Rah, an unknown, remote, and impoverished place."
"Whether she went back or not, I believe there will definitely be many important clues there."
Although Ursa's whereabouts were still not directly confird, their progress had finally taken a big step forward, and Azula's mood also relaxed a bit.
However, she then changed the subject, took out another letter from her embrace, and said to Zuko with amusent:
"Alright, my poor zuzu, compared to that useless letter, I think you need to read this more."
"I have to say, this is shocking news! Haha!"
Zuko ignored her words, but Kahn was intrigued by her.
He leaned a little closer to Azula, and she handed him the letter as if she knew what he was thinking.
"This?!"
Kahn opened the letter and read it, quickly widening his eyes and letting out an incredulous sound, unsure what to say for a mont.
Just as Azula said, this was indeed super big news, completely dumbfounding him.
"What on earth happened?"
Seeing Kahn's shocked expression, Zuko finally reacted.
With Kahn's ineffable gaze, he took the envelope, and then—
"What?! This is impossible—!!!"
Zuko scread in disbelief, his pupils trembling, his worldview collapsing.
This letter was written by Ursa to an old acquaintance in her hotown.
The content of the letter was simple: Zuko was not Ozai's child; he was this acquaintance's.
Zuko imdiately doubted his life.
Although Ozai was sowhat strict with him, even excessively so, he never believed that he wasn't Ozai's biological son, but now...?
Kahn thought of more.
Now Ozai was the Fire Lord, and although Zuko hadn't yet been crowned Crown Prince, it was practically a foregone conclusion, as Ozai only had one son and one daughter.
But now, it seed the Crown Prince wasn't even the Fire Lord's biological son.
Oh dear...
"Wait, sothing seems wrong!"
Kahn's mind whirred, and he suddenly felt there were so issues:
"Since this letter appeared here, I believe with your father's character, he wouldn't fail to inspect the contents of these envelopes, which ans he should be aware of this matter."
"So the question is, if Zuko really isn't your father's biological son, I think with his character, you shouldn't be alive right now!"
Even an ordinary man couldn't tolerate such a thing, let alone a ruthless person like Ozai.
If he could truly tolerate such a thing, then there would be no reason for him to choose to kill his father and usurp the throne.
"Alright, that's true. You're so eager to show off, do you want to praise you properly?"
Azula rolled her eyes unhappily, as if complaining that Kahn had ruined her plan to tease Zuko.
She was quite shocked the first ti she saw this letter, but she quickly figured out the unreasonableness of it.
She only took out this letter simply to tease Zuko, but Kahn had ruined it.
Hearing both Kahn and Azula say this, Zuko's eyes regained a little light, but looking at the envelope in his hand, he said unconfidently again:
"But the letter says—"
Azula sneered:
"That's why you're an idiot, my poor zuzu."
"All day long 'the letter says,' 'Mommy says,' 'Teacher says,' 'Daddy says'... Don't you have any thoughts of your own?"
"Even a dog on the street knows to find its own poop to eat!"
"Don't go too far!"
Zuko was furious, but finally felt a little relieved.
Kahn clapped his hands to attract their attention, summarizing:
"Although there are still many mysteries, whether it's Empress Ursa's whereabouts or Zuko's parentage, as long as we continue to investigate, the truth will eventually co to light. No matter what, we have already taken a big step forward."
"And the next goal is already very clear—"
At this point, the three said in unison:
"Rah!"
