The phoenix-head guqin of the previous dynasty disappeared when the previous dynasty was overthrown. It is said that a palace maid took it away and escaped.
It has been a while since this incident happened, and Liu Lanxin has no way to verify it. Although she has dabbled in the guqin, she is not very proficient in it, and she is not very fond of the direction of the guqin's sound. She just likes this legend.
First, the master of Qingyun Temple said this, and then he got such a phoenix-head guqin on the day he was in Qingyun Temple. Moreover, Zhenren Ningyin did not know how to handle things, which gave the farmer the opportunity to escape with the guqin, and the farmer happened to bump into his carriage.
It seems that all these are because of myself.
The abbot of Qingyun Temple is an accomplished master. Although Liu Lanxin had never met him before, she had secretly sent letters to Qingyun Temple, hoping to meet the abbot, but was always rejected.
Unexpectedly, this time Master Ning Yin would come to invite herself. Although this was not what the Qingyun Temple Master wanted, she still met herself. Due to what she asked for at that time, she had to check her luck. The Qingyun Temple Master was so scared that the teacup in her hand fell to the ground. Liu Lanxin saw it clearly.
Although the words of the master of Qingyun Temple were not as strong later, the meaning of this sentence was very clear.
She took a deep breath to hide the excitement in her eyes. She was going to marry Prince Jing, so Prince Jing was the destined prince. And at this time, Pei Yuanjun had angered the emperor.
I am still too young. My father is right. The King of England is only brave, but he does not take advantage of others and has no ambition. It is impossible for the throne to fall into his hands.
Someone has to wake up the King of England before he can wear the dragon robe, but the process of awakening is not so easy. This person is a reckless, arrogant and self-centered person who is unlikely to listen to other people's advice.
Now it seems that Prince Jing is the most likely to become the emperor.
In the past, I didn't react much, and God didn't give me any hints, mainly because I hadn't yet settled my marriage with King Jing. Now that the marriage is settled, it can be regarded as destiny.
Only then did the master of Qingyun Temple remind him, and then he received the reminder from Destiny.
"Don't tell anyone about this matter." Liu Lanxin ordered in a deep voice. Inside the room were her two trusted maids.
"Miss, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"I won't tell anyone." The two maids immediately expressed their loyalty and spoke one after another.
"You two... not only can't you tell this to other people, you can't even tell... your sister!" Liu Lanxin put one hand on the chair rail, her face solemn.
The two maids looked at each other and their faces turned heavy. This time was different from the previous time. This time there was a specific person to be concealed, and the young lady would definitely not do such a thing in the past.
"Miss... I understand, but I won't tell you."
"My lady, I won't tell you either."
The two maids expressed their thoughts very clearly and stood firmly on Liu Lanxin's side.
Liu Lanxin's hands relaxed, with a hint of approval on her face. "You are all mine now, and you will be closely related to me in the future. Even though sister has taught me a lot, and even though you have been taught a lot by others, you are not hers after all. There are some things...she and I can share, but there are some things that are absolutely impossible for us to share, just like it is me who is going to marry King Jing now, but she... will never be able to do that!"
There were so many implications in these words that the two maids panicked and knelt down.
"Miss, this servant's only master is you."
"Miss, we will only follow you, regardless of other things.
No matter how well a person does, he is not the real master of the servants. People have their own ranks."
Liu Lanxin was very satisfied with their serious looks. She reached out her hand to support them. After they both stood up, she said softly, "You are my confidants and the confidants of the General's Mansion. I am your only daughter and you will stand by my side in the future. Now that this phoenix-head harp has appeared, I am afraid that my sister will think too much."
"The general loves the young lady the most. He will find a way to fulfill whatever the young lady wants. But Miss Tong is different. She is just the general's adopted daughter."
"Miss, you are the one destined by heaven, and the phoenix spirit has gathered. If not, this phoenix-headed zither would not have been in your hands. Since it is the destiny, I naturally cannot refuse it just because of the sisterhood between you and Miss Tong. When I heard that this destiny has been given to someone, I must accept it. If I don't accept it, I am afraid that the heaven will punish me."
The other maid was obviously very good at talking, and she made Liu Lanxin even happier with just a few words.
The smile on his face became more and more proud. He reached out and pulled the corner of his clothes, with a determined look in his eyes.
She had been eyeing that position since she had set her eyes on King Ying. If she married Pei Yuanjun, with her father's and Pei Yuanjun's strength, it would not be difficult to overthrow the entire dynasty. Compared with supporting the crown prince or King Jing, Liu Lanxin felt that this one had a better chance of success.
But now, after all, it was Pei Yuanjun who let me down, so I can't blame myself for being heartless...
Yudong came back a little late. After learning the whole story, he was still worried and went to take a look himself.
The secret guards had already checked it out according to his previous instructions, but some things were too mysterious and Yu Dong felt full of doubts.
He returned to Zhuangzi with the things he had found, an old box.
After telling the story of Prince Ying's Mansion, Yudong briefly mentioned the matter of the maid from Liu's Mansion wanting to go and get information. It was just a trivial matter and the details were Eunuch Ji Hai's business. He just led the way. The two of them understood each other's intentions as soon as they looked at each other.
The next person to play is Eunuch Ji Hai, who is just a supporting role.
Miss Liu's purpose is not herself, but to use this name to cause trouble for the young lady, and by the way, use the young lady's name to inquire about things in the British palace.
Yudong was not worried at all about the affairs of the Prince of England's Palace. He knew that there would be people there to handle these matters.
After talking about the things in the British Palace, he put the box on the table. It was a small box, really not big, with mud marks on it that had not been wiped clean. The lid of the box was tightly locked. There was no key, but the lock on it was rusted. Yudong estimated that it could be broken with a slight twist.
The lock above is also an ordinary lock.
"Miss, this is the box we got from that place. I heard that it was filled with rays of light, which shocked everyone. The tenants thought there was something incredible, so they didn't dare to hide it. They specially invited someone from Qingyun Temple. The one who went there was Master Ning Yin, but Master Ning Yin didn't know much about these things, so he asked someone to put the box away first, gave the tenants some money and property, and told them not to say anything."
"The box was placed in an empty room in Qingyun Temple. The secret guards secretly took it away. The door was locked and no one was guarding it. If you didn't know, you really wouldn't know that the box was dug out of the ground at that time."
Yu Dong pointed at the box and said, "I think this box is very ordinary. There are no patterns or words on it. It is so small and I don't know what it is. How could it emit such a glow? Later, it was said that it might be
I was dazzled by the sight, and then the sun came in and shone on my eyes, and I heard that the tenant who was dug out couldn’t explain it clearly. "
"Where did that tenant go? The one we dug out." Qu Moying narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.
"This servant doesn't know either. She said that the man felt that the money and property given by Qingyun Temple was too little, so he ran away angrily. I don't know where he went and I can't find him."
Yudong Road.
"What do his family say?" Qu Moying asked calmly.
"He is the only one in his family, without a father, mother, wife or children. He was originally a bachelor. Although he rented land from Qingyun Temple, he rarely went there. He slept until the sun rose high every day and then went to the fields to do some digging. I don't know what luck he had today, but everyone around him saw that he dug up such a big piece of land."
Yudong had inquired very clearly before, which led to the incident of stealing the box from Qingyun Temple later.
"So, this person ran away?" Qu Moying said.
"Miss, I think that person is the one who bumped into Miss Liu's carriage. He looked so panicked at the time, and it seemed to me that he was hiding something. It's just that I was standing far away and there was a carriage in between, so I couldn't see clearly." Yu Dong thought for a while and said. He just watched the person who bumped into her carriage and didn't take it too seriously.
Qu Moying's gaze fell on the box again. He reached out and turned the box, his eyes becoming darker.
"Miss, is there something wrong?" Yu Dong looked at her and knew that the young lady had discovered something. He asked in confusion and looked at the box a few more times.
It's really just an ordinary box, and it doesn't look very eye-catching, so why does the lady care so much about it
"The wood of this box is excellent." Qu Moying reached out and pressed the box, not caring about the traces of dirt that had not been wiped off on it. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She was an Aegean lover and liked this kind of excellent wood material very much.
He picked up a handkerchief and wiped it carefully. When he saw the forest texture on it, his eyes were filled with surprise.
"This wood... is an excellent material for making guqin. It's hard to find something so suitable now." Qu Moying was delighted but also a little puzzled. This kind of wood is often used to make guqin or some extremely rare items. How could it be such a simple and ordinary wooden box
From the outside, it looks really inconspicuous.
Even if an object like this falls on the ground, no one might pick it up, thinking it is just an ordinary object.
But in fact, if the box can be made of such material, how could the things inside be simple? As for the brilliant rays of light, Qu Moying did not believe it. The sun was shining brightly at that time, so it might be an exaggeration!
"Yudong, open the lock above." After reading it, Qu Moying's long eyelashes flickered twice. She put down the handkerchief in her hand and gave the order.
What is inside can only be known after seeing it.
But one thing is certain, no matter what is going on here, it must not be just a simple "coincidence", there is something extremely strange about this matter.
"Miss, this lock will break once it is turned." Yu Dong looked at the lock and said.
"It's okay. It's broken. What's important is not this box or this lock, but the things inside." Qu Moying smiled slightly, blinked his black and white eyes, and smiled.
Yu Dong obeyed the order, and this time he did not hesitate. He went up and pressed the padlock, exerted a little force, and with a click, the lock came off. When the box opened, the master and the servant were all stunned...
