Poison man is hard to tame

Chapter 54

At that time, Concubine Xin was only thinking about the mandarin ducks playing in the water, how could she have the time to care how she got there?Now it sounds so nice.

However, Jinyu didn't like to hear it, but the queen did. Seeing that Concubine Xin's attitude was such that she took the fault to herself, she was satisfied, and said: "Okay, Yu'er understands the truth, he didn't give birth to you Angry, you were plotted against by those two sluts, since nothing happened, then forget it, just learn to be smarter in the future."

Concubine Xin said: "The concubine would like to follow your mother's instruction, and the concubine came here to admit her mistake."

"Okay, there is no need to mention this matter in the future." Empress Xiao got up from the soft couch, "Go back if you have nothing else to do, think about how to deal with those two sluts, and don't ask me to teach you you?"

"It's fine for the concubine to take care of their affairs." Concubine Xin also stood up, and bowed her head to Empress Xiao, "Concubine, please leave."

Empress Xiao turned around and said indifferently, "Yes."

After a pause, he said again: "Yu'er, come here with the queen mother."

Concubine Xin raised her eyes slightly, but seeing Jinyu looking at her with a cold gaze, she immediately understood in her heart that he was remembering what happened before, she couldn't help but slightly curled up the corners of her lips, and smiled at him.

That smile was elegant and bright, but Jin Yu gave her a sideways glance, turned around and walked behind Empress Xiao without saying anything.

Seeing that he didn't like to pay attention to her, Concubine Xin smiled even deeper.

There has never been a man who has given him a cold face frequently. Not only is this Sixth Highness impeccable in appearance, but his temperament is also rare and interesting. If he can conquer such a person, it will be such a pleasure.

With such thoughts in mind, Concubine Xin stepped out of Fengyi Palace.

Empress Xiao brought Jinyu into her bedroom, and then moved away from the left and right, leaving only her and Jinyu, and then said: "This time, the queen mother called you here, besides chatting a few words about your assassination, there are other things. I have something to tell you."

Jinyu said: "The queen mother said so."

"The queen mother will show you something." Empress Xiao walked to the bookcase on the right, raised her hand and pulled out the last book that was standing obliquely on the bottom floor, and then stretched out her hand as if groping for something inside. The next moment, Jin Yu could only hear a "squeak...", a small hidden compartment was poked out of the thick wooden edge at the end of the bookcase where it should be solid.The contents inside are very simple, just a piece of paper and a small bamboo tube.

She said, "This is?"

Empress Xiao took out the piece of paper and handed it to Jinyu. Jinyu took a look and saw a crescent-shaped logo and a round pearl-like object painted on it. What is it? This round one looks a bit like a pearl."

"It's not a pearl." Empress Xiao didn't answer Jinyu's words, but said, "My mother asked you, what did you go to Avon Pavilion a few days ago?"

Jinyu frowned and raised her head.

It's not surprising that Empress Xiao would know. Cherishing is the person she assigned to her. She always pays attention to her movements, which is naturally due to her mother's concern, but she suspects that Ye Mang is the seventh prince, but she can't tell her.

Jinyu thought, with her personality, if she found out, she might devote all her attention to this matter, and it would be bad if someone caught her by accident.

"The queen mother asked what this is for. I'm not looking for a girl, let alone a man." He snorted coldly pretending to be angry, and then said, "It's just idle and boring, I went to the Xiangfu to find my cousin to play, I heard The maid said that he is the one who can make fun for me, and I never thought that he would take me to the Hualou, but Erchen was really curious, so he went."

Empress Xiao didn't doubt it when she heard the words, she just snorted softly and said: "Your cousin, what else would he do besides doing romantic things on weekdays, even the empress mother who has lived in the palace for a long time knows about his lingering in Hualou. , you play around all day, don't you know, don't have frequent contact with him in the future."

"En." Jinyu responded casually, and then said, "The queen mother, please tell me the meaning of this picture."

When Empress Xiao heard the words, she fell silent for a moment.

Jinyu was puzzled, seeing her suddenly calm down, her face covered with a layer of thoughts, she knew she had something on her mind, Jinyu waited patiently for her to speak.

"Yu'er, do you remember my moon-watching treasure, Bright Moon?" Empress Xiao suddenly spoke after a short while of silence.

Jinyu lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then said, "I remember."

Jiaoyue, the name is very elegant, but she doesn't know what it is. Even the current emperor, her father, doesn't seem to know what it is. In her impression, she only remembers the original owner when he was very young. The emperor once took her to the Treasure Pavilion he built to see that thing. It was a five-foot-long exquisite iron box with layers of intricate patterns printed on it. It exists, but no one has opened it so far, but it has been labeled as a national treasure. It has been in the Cangzhen Pavilion for decades. It is rumored that the box was brought to the court, and the generals tried it repeatedly but failed. I could only move back to Cangzhen Pavilion, probably almost forgotten by people now.

"If the queen mother didn't mention it, the son-in-law might not have remembered that there is such a national treasure." Jinyu smiled lightly, seeming to be curious, "Isn't that box said that no one can open it, and it is even called the God of War?" His uncle, King Nanjing, couldn't open it either, but it seems that there are rumors among the people that it contains a treasure map? Or some magical weapon?"

"Can't open it, heh, people in the world just think that they are not strong enough. It's ridiculous. I have tried various methods of burning, smashing, roasting and prying, but none of them work, because no one knows..." Empress Xiao said here, her eyes widened. Guang froze, "The layers of patterned totems on the box have to be soaked with special potion, and then they can be pressed down. To open it, you need to follow the opening steps of the original designer of the box. To create an exquisite 56-way mechanism, you must find the correct pattern and press it in sequence, and if you make a mistake, all previous efforts will be wasted."

The patterns can be pressed, but still need to open the steps?
The corners of Jinyu's eyes twitched, and three words came to mind...the password box.

But even the emperor didn't know about it, but the empress knew about it. It's really... weird.

She was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes and said, "Queen, how do you know this?"

When Empress Xiao heard this, her autumn-like eyes suddenly darkened, "Because the unlocking diagram of the steps to unlock the patterned totem of the box was divided into two by the designer... and engraved on the backs of you and your brother respectively."

"..." Jinyu was stunned for a moment, "Behind my seventh brother and me?"

"That's right." Empress Xiao nodded, her bright eyes moved slightly, "This is something your father doesn't know about, and you can't tell anyone. If this matter is leaked out, it will definitely bring you trouble."

"My son understands." Jinyu nodded with a serious face. Hearing such a secret today, she is not only surprised but also aware of the seriousness of the matter. "Then who is the master who drew the unlocking totem?"
