The matter of those paintings did indeed fall into Shao Wanru's hands.
Originally, these calligraphy paintings were in the hands of Mrs. Qin. They should have been left to her by her father. They were mixed with some other calligraphy and paintings. They were inconspicuous and were not authentic works by famous artists. Perhaps because of their inconspicuousness, they did not fall into Di's possession. In his eyes, Qin Huaiyong should not have known about it at the time, so these calligraphy and paintings fell into his hands.
After entering the capital, Shao Wanru was in danger because of these words, and because of these words, she almost had an accident. Fortunately, Chu Liuchen asked Xiao Xuanzi to take her away. After that, she felt that these words were different and packed them up deliberately.
Then the words in her study showed signs of being tampered with. It was also at that time that Qin Huaiyong knew about some of the words, right? She also doubted whether the words she got at that time were the words she was looking for. Every word was checked very clearly, but the paintings inside were not visible and the traces were obvious.
Nothing else has changed, except for the traces of changes in these words and paintings. If it were not for the people in the house, it would not be possible to do this.
"Where did father get these words? How did he get them?" After explaining the cause and effect to Chu Liuchen, Shao Wanru frowned slightly.
"This matter should have something to do with Zhao Shangshu!" Chu Liuchen said warmly.
Shao Wanru opened her mouth, and the corners of her lips trembled slightly. The answer was right on her lips. For a moment, she felt it was too ridiculous, but she knew clearly that this might be true.
After a pause, he said, "Is this the reason why Zhao Xiran married in?"
Those characters are of great importance and are related to the tiger talisman of the late emperor.
The late emperor was also the founding emperor of the country. He followed Chu Liuchen's grandfather to conquer the country and conquer the country. Chu Liuchen's grandfather died after being emperor for only a few years. After that, the late emperor succeeded to the throne and unified the world. Although the tiger talisman in his hand does not have that much effect nowadays, for some veterans, this is the thing that should be served most.
Everyone wanted this tiger talisman, but the late emperor did not pass it down. It is not known whether it was because he was seriously ill at the time or for other reasons.
"The late emperor left the place where half of the tiger talisman was hidden in the calligraphy and painting, and told Shangshu Zhao. Zhao Shangshu was very loyal to the late emperor at that time, but he was useless. His words and deeds made the uncle Some information has been found, but my uncle cannot blatantly rob him. It happens that your father is leaving Beijing, so the task of searching is given to your father."
Chu Liuchen said slowly, his eyes cold.
"Your father is a capable man. In a few words, he got Zhao Shangshu to tell you the whereabouts of those calligraphy and paintings, and then left the capital. Zhao Shangshu must have regretted it later, but he couldn't chase him out, so he kept paying attention to you. After your father's whereabouts, news of your father's death came. Shao Jing inherited the title of Duke Xingguo. After your mother returned to the capital and gave birth to Yuan Hao, she disappeared. Zhao Shangshu felt that if those calligraphy and paintings were brought back to the capital, it would be very useful. Maybe it fell into the hands of Duke Xingguo and Shao Jing."
Shao Wanru lowered her head and listened to what he said slowly, with a hint of ridicule on her lips. She also knew what happened next, so Zhao Xiran married into the Xingguo Hou Mansion.
Maybe when they originally discussed the marriage, they didn't really want to get married. They just used it to discuss marriage again and again, and secretly went to the Xingguo Duke's Mansion to check, but couldn't find anything. It happened that at this time, Shao Wanru recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan. , returned to Xingguo Duke’s Mansion, Zhao Shangshu’s Mansion didn’t know what to think, so he decided to get married, and even before he married into the Mansion, he hurriedly asked Zhao Xiran
Get married.
This means that he wants to secretly check his luggage and even his dowry before he enters Prince Chen's palace. This is why Zhao Xiran plotted against him before he entered the palace. He also wanted to be the head of the family. He was pretending to be the head of the family, but in fact he wanted to start from After searching here, he married into Prince Chen's Mansion. Zhao Xiran knew that it would be impossible to find it from him again, so he wanted to take a look in Shao Jing's study, so he sent someone to keep an eye on Shao Jing.
Everything seemed to be integrated, and many things that could not be explained before became clear at this moment.
Zhao Xiran's abnormality and Zhao Shangshu's attention are all because of these words.
"Do they know this is only half of the Tiger Talisman?" Shao Wanru asked.
"I don't know, they all think it is a complete tiger charm. Zhao Shangshu thinks so, and King Cheng thinks so too. The original emperor's calligraphy and paintings were left behind to attract others, but they led you out." Chu Liuchen He said with a half-smile.
This reminded Shao Wanru of that frightening night. He was too naive. That day, when he showed his whereabouts, King Cheng counterattacked. That library belonged to King Cheng. For the sake of calligraphy and painting, let alone catch him. Even if he killed himself, he could still do it. Fortunately, Chu Liuchen appeared at that time and solved his crisis.
Thinking about it now, she still has lingering doubts. When she first arrived in the capital, she was still a little too childish. She didn't expect to be involved in such a big event.
There was still half of it in Concubine Lan's hand. Shao Wanru squeezed the handkerchief in her hand and hesitated to speak. She actually wanted to ask if the emperor knew that Concubine Lan had such half of the tiger charm in her hand.
"I know!" Chu Liuchen answered without asking.
These words were very abrupt, but they solved Shao Wanru's doubts. He raised his watery eyes and looked at Chu Liuchen in astonishment. He hadn't said these words before, had he
Chu Liuchen smiled, with a touch of endearment in his handsome eyes. Since she wanted to know, why not tell her? He was about to talk about that incident, but was interrupted by Shao Wanru: "Where is Shao Yanru? She knows how? How about it?"
"She was sent to Prince Zhou's Mansion!" Chu Liuchen said nonchalantly.
Prince Zhou's Mansion? Shao Wanru's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad premonition. She subconsciously held Chu Liuchen's hand and said, "You should also keep an eye on the side of Prince Zhou's Mansion. Shao Yanru is very noisy."
I don’t know if the King of Zhou’s rebellion in the previous life had anything to do with Shao Yanru, but in this life, Shao Wanru couldn’t explain clearly, and he always felt that there was something he had forgotten.
"Your Highness, please save my father!" Shao Yanru cried so hard that she threw herself into Chu Liuzhou's arms and burst into tears.
Chu Liuzhou reached out and hugged her lovingly, patted her back gently, and comforted her: "Don't cry yet. There is nothing I can do about this. It is the decree of the emperor. Your father You are so courageous that you dare to do such a thing."
Regarding Shao Jing, Chu Liuzhou couldn't help but take a breath of air. He really didn't expect Shao Jing to be so courageous. He actually dared to do such a thing. Fighting for a title was even more ruthless than fighting for the throne himself. As expected, people should not be judged by their appearance, and a person who used to smile happily could be so cruel.
He killed his brother and his sister-in-law, and also murdered his nephews and nieces again and again.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please, please." Shao Yanru pulled Chu Liuzhou's sleeve and refused to let go, looking at him full of pity and begging.
It was rare for Chu Liuzhou to have the patience to continue to persuade: "Don't cry now. Your father is also responsible for this. Father's decree has been made.
It can't be changed anymore, so don't be sad. Apart from you, won't there be your brother from now on? Just be fine, you two brothers and sisters. "
Chu Liuzhou didn't have that much patience at first, but thinking that the woman in front of him had gone to so much trouble to escape from the palace to be with him, and was even willing to fake her death and leave the palace, she was very affectionate towards him, even if He also selectively forgot about some slightly bad things at this time.
They are as beautiful as flowers, and they have just been received, so how can they not pity them.
Although it is a pity to lack the support of the Xingguo Marquis Mansion, with such a beautiful woman by his side, Chu Liuzhou's temperament has become much better, and coaxing her does not feel like an unbearable thing. No matter what, Shao Yanru does the same. He gave up his life in the palace, faced the crime of beheading, and escaped from the palace to find himself.
On this point, Chu Liuzhou was still very satisfied.
"Brother, yes, where is eldest brother? Your Highness, please help me find eldest brother. I want to see eldest brother." Shao Yanru also knew that she could not save Shao Jing, so she could only make another request.
"Your eldest brother and your sister-in-law went to Zhao Shangshu's Mansion. I heard that he later left Zhao Shangshu's Mansion and went to a house, or a house in Zhao Shangshu's Mansion."
Chu Liuzhou said that when something happened to Shao Jing, he also sent many people to inquire about it and got a lot of information. The whereabouts of Shao Huaan was not a secret.
Zhao Xiran took Shao Huaan back to Zhao Shangshu's Mansion, but Zhao Shangshu's Mansion was afraid of being implicated by the two of them, so he kicked them out again. After that, they just gave them a house to live in, and the house was not It was large, but it could accommodate the two of them. Zhao Xiran also had one or two maids with him, and Shao Huaan also brought a boy. The rest were not taken away, and they all stayed in the Xingguo Hou Mansion.
Although the current Xingguohou Mansion is still there, it is no longer the Xingguohou Mansion of Shao Jing's house. Shao Yuanhao has legitimately become the Xingguohou Mansion, although he still lives in the mansion of Princess Dachang of Ruian.
"Shang Shu Zhao is so abominable, how could he add insult to injury at this time." Shao Yanru wiped away her tears and said bitterly.
"Don't worry, I will have someone take care of your eldest brother, but you can't go see him at this time. Many people are staring at him. If you show up, you will be discovered, and then you will be beheaded again. "Chu Liuzhou warned her, fearing that she would insist on going her own way to see Shao Huaan. Shao Huaan was being targeted by many people at the moment. The slightest hint of trouble would make people suspicious.
"Father, eldest brother..." Although Shao Yanru nodded in agreement, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she looked at Chu Liuzhou sadly, "Your Highness, if one day I am discovered, I will be responsible for everything. Even if I die, I will protect His Highness's reputation. I escaped to His Highness's house without His Highness knowing."
The words were full of affection, and she looked like she would go through fire and water for Chu Liuzhou, and she looked like she was red and swollen from crying, which was very heartbreaking.
"Don't worry, I will protect you." Chu Liuzhou's heart softened and he said softly, reaching out to hold her in his arms.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I only have you now, only you! If Your Highness doesn't want me anymore, I... I would rather die like this." Shao Yanru cried and fell into Chu Liuzhou's arms, looking like She was extremely gentle. Thinking about her current situation, it was pitiful. She was so affectionate. How could Chu Liuzhou let her go? He gently comforted her with a few words.
No one saw the blood-red hatred in Shao Yanru's eyes at this moment...
