Chapter 466: The Secret of the Drawings
Leng Yiwei looked at the shape of the box, and couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and his heart was full of alarm.
He waved his hand resolutely, and the guards around him immediately stepped forward and whispered, "Lord Wang." ”
"Go, and call the keeper of the king's things." Leng Yiwei's voice was low, but his tone was a little hurried, "Be quick." ”
"Yes." The guard looked at Leng Yiwei's expression and knew that something was unusual, so he left quickly, and in a short time, he brought a young family with him.
"Lord Wang," the family came to the sedan chair, gave a salute, and before he could stand up, Leng Yiwei asked: "This king asked you, after coming out of the courtyard this morning, did anyone approach those things?" ”
"Back to the prince, never." Jia Ding replied.
"What about the Seventh Princess?" Leng Yiwei's eyes were fixed on the red shadow, and his voice became cold word by word.
"Princess......" Jia Ding thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be ...... She came closer, but she only spoke a few words to the minion. ”
"Go down!" Leng Yiwei shouted coldly, no need to say anything "like", no need to say anything else, he knew very well in his heart that something was wrong.
Jia Ding was frightened by his cold face, and quickly retreated, Leng Yiwei said to the guards beside him: "Arrange it and play a scene with this king." ”
Over there, the seventh princess had already arrived in front of the emperor's sedan chair, she knelt down in front of the emperor, her waist was straight, and she lifted the box above the leader with both hands, "Father, please forgive the reckless sin of the son, it's just ...... Erchen had to risk his life to stop the car, otherwise, if he delayed the big event, Erchen would have to apologize for his crimes! ”
She said strictly, the emperor's brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "What is it?" So important? ”
"Father!" The Seventh Princess handed the things in her hand forward, "Please take a look." ”
The emperor took the brocade box in her hand, it didn't feel heavy, it was really just like a painting scroll, he was puzzled, put the brocade box on his lap, and opened it layer by layer and wrapped it with brocade cloth.
The brocade was smooth and slightly cool, and the emperor's fingertips touched it, and the coolness dipped into the fingertips, as if it reached the bottom of the heart, and suddenly the irritability in his heart receded, giving birth to a chill.
His movements slowed, his breathing became slower, and the layers of brocade receded, revealing a cardboard box, boxy, long and narrow, which looked the same as the box usually used to hold picture scrolls, but the coolness lingered, and it was even colder.
The emperor calmly faced, lightly buttoned his index finger, opened the button on the box, lifted the lid of the box, and there was a cowhide drawing lying quietly inside, and the detailed lines were faintly seen, which were extremely exquisitely drawn, like a topographic map.
The emperor was puzzled, but vaguely felt that this thing was related to some secret matter, so he picked up the drawing from the box and gently unfolded it, and the small words and lines on it were clearly visible.
He lowered his eyes and looked carefully, the seventh princess held her head high, looking at his focused expression, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.
Rong Xi leaned on the big pillow, listening to the movement in front of her, but there was no sound, she knew in her heart that this moment of tranquility was the tranquility before the storm.
The long queue secretly raised their eyes from time to time, guessing what was going on in front of them, the emperor did not give the order to set off, Rong Xi turned his head slightly, looked at the direction where Leng Yiwei was, and secretly thought in his heart, His Royal Highness King Qi, what are you thinking about now?
His Royal Highness King Qi was very anxious in his heart, but he knew that he must not panic at the moment, he must be calm, now he is walking above the abyss, a rope is erected in the sky, he is walking on that rope, there can be no trace of difference, otherwise, he will fall into the abyss from which he will never recover.
After a while, the emperor finally finished reading it, squinted his eyes at the Seventh Princess, and asked: "I have finished reading this map, but it is just a topographical map of this Suming Mountain Villa, and there are some subtle mechanisms, I really can't see that it has anything to do with the major events you said before." ”
"Father," the Seventh Princess knelt forward, "this map is indeed just a topographical map of this mountain villa on the surface, but what is inside it is not just the mountain villa depicted!" ”
The seventh princess's voice was low, her expression was solemn, and her long eyebrows brought out a bit of awe-inspiring aura, and the emperor couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at her like this, "Then you say, what else is inside?" ”
"Father! Erchen wants a basin of water! The Seventh Princess said loudly.
The emperor was silent, just waved his hand, and Gonggong Su immediately understood and sent someone down to bring water.
The emperor looked at the seventh princess who was kneeling on the ground, "I came to ask you, even if this drawing has some big secrets, why can't you wait until you return to the palace before presenting it to me?" Must be at this time, so many pairs of eyes to do this? ”
The seventh princess closed her eyes slightly, there was a bit of helplessness and pain in her eyes, and there was a little more sadness in her voice, "Father, the son doesn't want to be like this, but this drawing is very important, and the son is not easy to get it, if it takes a long time and is noticed, I am afraid that someone will disappear from this world at that time, maybe this drawing will be destroyed inexplicably, and the truth of this matter can only be buried, and the foundation of the father and the emperor will be in jeopardy!" ”
Her last sentence shocked the emperor's heart, since ancient times, the emperor has been the most concerned and taboo thing is this kind of thing, the light in his eyes flashed like the frozen water surface in winter, shining with bright and cold light lines.
Soon, a large basin of clear water was carried, and the shining sunlight was poured into the water surface of the basin, and the light shone with the fluctuations and jumps of the water surface, and the light flickered close to the eyes of people.
The emperor looked at the fluctuating water, and the uneasiness in his heart slowly receded, as if he could feel that the beating heart was slowly draped in a hard shell, separating the family affection, warmth, and emotion ruthlessly, leaving only the throne built with blood and power.
When the basin of water came near, the emperor had a calm face, and did not fake his hands, his fingers holding the drawings tightened, and then he loosened, and with a strong wrist, he threw the cowhide drawings into the basin.
Soon, the drawings shook on the surface of the water and sank to the bottom.
Everyone who could see was staring at the water, their hearts stuck in their throats, as if they could see some shocking secret in that second.
The seventh princess held her breath, her eyes widened, staring without blinking, her fingers unconsciously grasped the hem of her skirt, her knuckles were a little white because of the force, and her body stiffened, as if she had exhausted all her strength.
Then, all the people saw the strange changes in the basin of water, the cowhide drawings in the water ripples, slowly changing, those small lines receded, and the naked eye could see the speed as if there was an invisible pen to depict a new pattern, that kind of scene was extremely weird, silent, but self-shaped.
And in the eyes of the emperor, his feeling was not weird, but shock, followed by anger.
Just at a glance, he knew what the new map that appeared on the drawing was, it was nothing else, but the topographical map in the Jokhang Palace!
The emperor was furious in his heart, he finally understood what the seventh princess had been saying about this thing was related to the importance of dà, and now it seems that it is not only a matter of relationship and heavy dà, it is simply a matter of life and death!
Who made this drawing? What would it be like if this drawing was held in the hands of those who had a heart? What are the consequences?
The emperor shuddered at the thought of these points, and the sea of anger swelled in his eyes, and he stood up from the sedan chair with a sudden surge, and reached out to fish the drawing out of the water!
The sound of water shattered the strange silence around him, and summoned the rest of the people back, and they retracted their eyes in fright.
"You say!" The emperor pointed at the Seventh Princess with the wet cowhide drawing, and his eyebrows were upside down, "Where did this thing come from?" ”
The seventh princess was frightened by the emperor's angry face, but there was a sense of revenge in her heart, her eyes widened, and gradually filled with a layer of water, her lips trembled slightly, and before she could speak, she only heard the sound of weapons colliding suddenly in the distance!
Along with the clash of weapons, there were shouts one after another, and the voice was clear, and it reached everyone's ears, "King Qi!" Shameless villain! How dare you lie to me! Give us back the picture! ”
Hearing this sentence clearly, Rong Xi's eyebrows raised, her fingers holding the sedan wall stopped slightly, her eyebrows furrowed, and then sighed.
What a powerful King of Qi!
Leng Yixiu, who was sitting on the horse, looked back, and with a "bang", the sword was unsheathed, and the brilliance was fierce, and he shouted coldly: "Sons! Escort! ”
As soon as the words fell, those guards all unsheathed their weapons, and suddenly the sound of iron weapons colliding was endless, and the cold weapons shone in the sun, like a forest of cold guns erected, and went towards the emperor's dragon sedan chair in a neat and orderly queue!
The seventh princess also heard the shout, her ten fingers clutched the hem of her skirt, and her drooping eyes almost burst into flames, hateful!
"Father!" The seventh princess looked at the situation over there from the corner of her eye, and shouted: "Erchen must swear to protect you to the death!" ”
As she spoke, she got up from the ground, threw herself in front of the emperor, turned around and stretched out her arms to block the sedan door, her shoulders were thin, her waist was slender, and her outstretched arms couldn't help but tremble gently, like the wings of a butterfly that couldn't help but tremble in the cold autumn wind.
The emperor's heart warmed when he was furious, he looked at the daughter in front of him, her thin back was in front of his eyes, although he knew that in front of those assassins, she couldn't stop anything at all, but seeing her protective posture, seeing the daughter he had once protected behind him was now standing in front of him, his heart was deeply rare and comforted.
He took a deep breath, and his voice was much softer, "Xiao Qi, come to my side." ”
Little Seven ...... The Seventh Princess's shoulders trembled slightly, this was what the emperor had always called her when she was a child, and she had never heard it since she was a child.
