179, reveal the secret (word count 4000+)

"Yes, you should learn from others!" Situ Zisu said something faintly in the back, Huangfu Chonglou looked at Duanmu Jinghua holding Sheng Xue away, and couldn't help grinding his back molars, will he die if he doesn't show affection!

The jealous couple didn't notice the gaze behind them at all, and the two sat down, and Sheng Xue saw that as soon as he looked up, he saw that the envoy of the indigenous country opposite was already sitting upright.

With the experience of Nanzhao last time, Sheng Xue saw that he was much more indifferent, this time the indigenous country only brought a few treasures, and there were not so many complicated competitions like Nanzhao.

Sheng Xue saw her head sideways, looked at the county lord Duanmu Jingyao beside her in a daze at the wine glass on the table, and couldn't help but secretly talk to Duanmu Jinghua.

"What's going on with the county lord these days? Always distracted? ”

"It's probably because I've gone crazy with my practice!" Duanmu Jinghua lied without changing his face, if he told Sheng Xue the truth, he was afraid that Sheng Xue would clamoring to go to the battlefield with him.

When everyone was whispering, the palace people sang a promise: "The emperor has arrived~"

Everyone got up and saluted, and walked in with a bright yellow, followed by the queen mother and queen, as well as the harem concubines.

"Excuse me." When the emperor was seated, he ordered everyone to get up.

Duanmu Jinghua and the queen glanced at each other, and saw the queen nodding slightly.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, our King has several treasures that he would like to offer you." The envoys of the indigenous countries were much more anxious than the envoys of the Nanzhao Kingdom back then.

The emperor was not angry, he waved his hand and said, "I don't know what kind of treasure it is?" ”

The envoy of the native country smiled slightly: "Our king has a small request, someone who can solve the riddles on these treasures. to be able to get this treasure. The apocalypse is vast and abundant, and it must be difficult for the talents of your country. ”

Sheng Xue looked at the envoy of this indigenous country quietly, he was much more modest than the envoy of Nanzhao Kingdom. It's not offensive.

The emperor waved his hand: "Then present it!" ”

The envoys of the indigenous state saluted the emperor, and then asked the attendants to carry the treasures. There are three treasures in total, and the first treasure is contained in a chest, but the box is locked with a very strange lock.

The second treasure is a living creature, kept in a cage like a bird, with gorgeous feathers as beautiful as the legendary phoenix.

The treasure has just been lifted. It caused the exclamation of everyone present, and the faces of the envoys of the indigenous countries showed a look of pride.

"This first box is locked as long as someone in your country can open it. I will give it to your country. The native reached out and lifted the strange lock.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the lock was eighteen links, and if the eighteen links were removed, the lock could be unlocked.

But the nine links are very difficult to solve. What's more, it's eighteen in a row?

"Which of you wants to go up and try it. Just give it a try! "The emperor doesn't care, it's just a clever object, and someone can always unravel it.

At first, everyone was eager to try it, and they all stepped forward to try, but everyone took a round, and the effort of the two incense injections passed, and no one could untie it.

The emperor's complexion became bad. He glanced casually and saw Sheng Xuehan, the companion of the five princes, standing on the periphery with a disdainful expression.

"You go and try it." The emperor's finger is Sheng Xuehan. Everyone looked towards Sheng Xuehan.

"Wechen obeys." The little Sheng Xuehan saluted several thoughtful salutes. Everyone got out of the way, so that Sheng Xuehan could untie the eighteen links.

The envoy of the indigenous country looked at this yellow-mouthed child, and his eyes flashed with disdain. In their country, only Princess Linglong can unravel this eighteen chains, what kind of character is he, can he unravel this?

Who knew that in less than a cup of tea when Sheng Xuehan got started, he heard a snapping sound, and the eighteen chains fell to the ground in response, and the lock was opened.

The envoy of the indigenous country widened his eyes, and Sheng Xuehan was so big that he didn't open the box, but turned around and saluted, and stepped aside in an orderly manner.

The emperor looked at Sheng Xuehan, who was so respectful, and couldn't help but nodded. The child-minded fifth prince couldn't wait to ask: "Father, can the son open the box?" ”

"Open it." The emperor nodded, and the five princes immediately opened the box and fished out a golden jade robe from it.

"So exquisite!" Although he has seen a lot of golden jade clothes, it is the first time he has seen such a light and close-fitting golden jade clothes.

"Shan'er, do you like it?" Seeing his youngest son's smile, the emperor's heart warmed.

Huangfu looked back: "I like it, but this is opened by Brother Xuehan, a gentleman loves things, and he takes it in a good way!" ”

"Yes, you know what it means to be in a good way!" The emperor listened to his son's words and smiled.

"It's all his nonsense, don't take it seriously, Your Majesty." Although Concubine De was happy, she still had to be humble on her face. Lin Guifei sat on the side and listened quietly, but the handkerchief in her hand was already torn out of shape.

"Sheng Xuehan, I will give you this golden jade robe!"

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Sheng Xuehan knelt down to thank him, and the fifth prince held the golden jade robe and handed it to him.

Although the envoy of the indigenous country was a little surprised, it was the first treasure, so he was not too nervous, and then he spoke: "Your Majesty, there is a second treasure." ”

"With the second treasure, do you also want to open the lock?" The fifth prince looked at the envoy with wide eyes.

The envoy of the indigenous country shook his head: "The bird in this cage is the sacred bird of our country, and she can sing three hundred songs and songs, but because her partner died, she is depressed all day long, and she has not spoken for a long time." ”

"It's a shame." The Fifth Prince sighed.

"This bird is proficient in music theory, and whoever can play this flute and move the holy bird and make the holy bird sing, the holy bird of our country will belong to whomever he wants." After the envoy of the native state finished speaking, he took out a piccolo that was full of crystalline light.

"I don't understand music theory, it's a pity." The fifth prince shook his head again and turned to look at Sheng Xuehan, but this time Sheng Xuehan was out of line, and he didn't know much about music theory.

Sheng Xue saw that she looked at the birds in the cage, and suddenly remembered Rong Jinglai. Rong Jing is proficient in music theory, and his flute can make hundreds of birds return to their nests. It can make everything silent. It's just that it is impossible for the emperor to let him come out of the altar.

"Then the king will try." As soon as the words fell, the emperor had already arrived in front of the envoys of the indigenous country.

Sheng Xue saw the puzzled side eyes, and Duanmu Jinghua's four eyes were opposite. The expression in his eyes is "he actually knows how to play a flute"?

"King Hui's rhythm is unmatched in Shengjing, even if it is Rongjing." In the end, Duanmu Jinghua understood the meaning in her eyes.

"Have you ever heard Rong Jing play the flute? When? Sheng Xue saw that she had grasped another important point in Duanmu Jinghua's words.

"Ahem!" Duanmu Jinghua coughed lightly a few times to cover up the past.

Contrary to Sheng Xuejian's expectations, Huangfu Cassia took the piccolo and played a song of phoenix begging for a phoenix, and his voice was tactful. Full of thoughts, if there is no true feeling in the heart, it is really difficult to blow out.

But. To whom does he owe this emotion? Sheng Xue looked at Lin Banxia suspiciously, only to see her looking at Huangfu Cassia with burning eyes, and her eyes were confused.

But Huangfu Cassia hasn't seen Lin Banxia at a glance, how can this phoenix begging for the phoenix become more and more like a begging for it?

Sheng Xue saw where to know. When Huangfu Cassia played this song, the person he thought of was Sheng Xuejian!

He finally realized that this little girl was very special to him. She is already married to Duanmu Jinghua.

The sound of the flute was melodious and graceful in the main hall, and suddenly, the holy bird in the birdcage began to move, and everyone held their breath and looked at the holy bird in surprise.

"Ahh Ah~~~~~" The holy bird let out a mournful wail, and this wail was combined with the sound of a flute, like the voice of a woman.

"The holy bird is actually singing again!" The envoy of the native nation was more astonished than all those present. Since the death of the keeper of the sacred bird, the sacred bird has not been able to speak. I didn't expect him to see a miracle again today!

After the song of the phoenix begging for the phoenix, Huangfu Cassia put away the lonely look on his face. It became majestic again.

He was about to return the piccolo to the envoy when the envoy of the indigenous state took a step back: "This holy bird is already His Highness. ”

Huangfu Cassia turned to look at the emperor on the dragon chair, and the emperor came back to his senses from the phoenix, his gaze swept over the queen's face, and then he spoke: "Cassia, it was awakened by you and should belong to you." ”

Although the treasures of the envoys of the indigenous country were all won away by the people of the Apocalypse, the Apocalypse is a kingdom of God, and he must always show the appearance of a kingdom.

The queen said preparedly: "There are also a few treasures in our country, but we must have someone in your country to unlock them before we can send them." ”

The queen glanced at Lin Guifei, and Lin Guifei instructed the female official behind her: "Take it!" ”

After a while, I saw the palace people dragging five things to the main hall and lined up.

The envoy of the native country did not panic, and called a young man who accompanied the group to come forward and solve the puzzle of each thing.

Sheng Xue saw the last tangram treasure box at a glance. Concubine Lin also immediately saw the last treasure, and couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat.

How did this thing end up here! Obviously, there are only four things I prepared before!

She looked at the queen suspiciously, and the queen happened to meet Lin Guifei's gaze: "This last treasure is the emperor's intention, but I'm afraid that the first four things can't be suppressed." ”

Lin Guifei was faint on the surface, trying her best to restrain her mind, only to see that the young man from the indigenous country really quickly uncovered the puzzle of the first four things, but she was trapped in front of the Qiqiao treasure box.

Sheng Xue prayed in her heart, this young man must not unlock the secret of the treasure box, in case the eldest princess really put the truth of the year in it and was unraveled by a foreigner, wouldn't it be thrown into the face of the royal family?

Fortunately, the time for the two pillars of incense had passed, and the young man was still at a loss. Lin Guifei stared at the young man tightly.

"It's been so long, it's not a way to continue like this, right?" Lin Guifei finally couldn't help but open her mouth.

The envoys of the indigenous countries also looked embarrassed. The emperor suddenly opened his mouth and smiled: "Don't say that the young people of your country can't solve this riddle, even if you look at the apocalypse, no one can solve it." ”

"Your Majesty, I don't know what to say?"

The queen suddenly remembered something, and said: "The concubine remembered, this is the tangram treasure box, and only the eldest princess could unlock this box back then." ”

At the mention of the eldest princess, Lin Guifei's face immediately changed greatly, and Sheng Xue saw that she keenly captured Lin Guifei's abnormality.

"yes, she was the only one who could solve it. Now no one can figure it out. It was not the emperor who answered, but Prince Gong, he and the queen looked at each other in the air, and both of them were full of regret.

Lin Guifei went to see the emperor in a panic, but found that the emperor's eyes lingered between the queen and Prince Gong, and her face suddenly became dark.

At this moment, Lin Guifei suddenly understood something.

Why was she grounded when she framed the queen and the person, because the emperor knew that the queen would not have an affair with that person, and the emperor was suspicious of Prince Gong and the queen!

But everyone in the world knows that Prince Gong and Princess Gong have a deep relationship, how can they be so suspicious?

But none of this mattered anymore, and the most important thing was that she finally knew the weakness of the queen!

It's just that Lin Guifei didn't have time to get excited when she heard the emperor speak: "Whoever can open this box will own it!" ”

Although this tangram treasure box is a strange thing in the world, after listening to what the queen and Prince Gong said, there are fewer people who want to be tempted. Everyone hesitated.

Lin Guifei hurriedly gave Huangfu Cassia a look, but Huangfu Cassia didn't understand what Lin Guifei meant.

At this time, Duanmu Jinghua seized the opportunity and stepped forward to salute: "The minister has an old friend who wants to give it a try." ”

The emperor made a gesture, Duanmu Jinghua stepped aside, and a man who didn't look amazing walked in front of the tangram treasure box. With just a few twists, the treasure box opened.

Lin Guifei's heart rose to her throat, and Sheng Xue saw that there was clearly something in the treasure box. But the craftsman happened to be able to slip the note from the treasure box into his sleeve.

"Is there something in this treasure box?" The emperor heard the movement and vaguely felt that there was something in the treasure box.

The craftsman turned around and presented the open treasure box, and everyone stretched their necks to look at the contents of the treasure box, but Duanmu Jinghua gave Sheng Xuejian a reassuring look.

The palace people sent the treasure box to the emperor, only to see a slingshot in the treasure box. When the emperor saw the slingshot, he couldn't help but have a sour nose: "This is what I made for her with my own hands!" ”

A small slingshot was treasured by my sister in the Tangram treasure box!

Recalling the bits and pieces of the past, the emperor's face was full of sorrow. The queen gave the emperor a worried look, but Lin Guifei was a lot more relaxed.

Since then, this tangram treasure box has been owned by the craftsman, and after a small episode, the banquet has returned to singing and dancing.

The palace man quietly handed the note that he had just hidden to Duanmu Jinghua's hand.

Although Sheng Xue saw that she wanted to open it on the spot, in order not to arouse Lin Guifei's suspicion, she could only hold back.

It wasn't until the end of the banquet that everyone dispersed, and the two got into the carriage together, and Sheng Xue urged Duanmu Jinghua when he saw it.

"What's on that note?"

Duanmu Jinghua only opened the note at this time, and it was indeed the handwriting of the eldest princess. (To be continued......)
