Chapter 543: The Whereabouts of the Iron Scroll
"Father, since there is no one at the moment, there are some words that the ministers will not hide, what the ministers want is the whereabouts of the iron scroll, you also know, the 50,000 forbidden army is in the hands of the king of Xi, and he has been eyeing me as the crown prince, and the ministers are worried about ......"
Emperor Cangliang coughed a few times, and with the support of Gonggong Su, he sat up little by little, leaned on the pillow behind him, and exhaled deeply, this turbid breath has accumulated in his chest for a long time, and now he is finally more comfortable.
"I know what you are worried about, you have been made the crown prince, and there are things that should be handed over to you." As he spoke, Emperor Cangliang sighed.
Looking at his reaction, the prince suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
It stands to reason that on the day he was crowned prince, the emperor himself led the iron scroll to invite the new prince to the hands of the new prince, but since he was crowned prince, his father seemed to have forgotten about it and never mentioned it.
Today, he also had the attitude of giving it a try, and asked his father a little, but his father's current tone and attitude made the prince's heart can't help but start drumming.
His gaze was on the side of the dragon bed, where there was a golden dragon head, which was also the place that his father had pointed out to him just now.
There were a lot of people at that time, and he hadn't reacted yet, but now that the crowd had dispersed, he remembered that if there was really an iron scroll hidden there, how could such an important thing be placed in such an obvious place, wouldn't that be a clear location to others.
The prince looked at Emperor Cangliang with a solemn face, held his breath, and seriously prepared to listen to the whereabouts of the iron scroll.
Emperor Cangliang, who seemed to have only one breath, is now not only strength but also speaking, it is better than Fang Cai, the crown prince has no doubts, what his father has done has always been far-sighted, maybe he secretly got some news, so pretend to be like this, and prepare to pass on fake news.
Despite this, Imperial Doctor Liang also made psychological preparations for him when he came to diagnose, his father's body can only support for a month, this is still the best situation, if it is not well conditioned, it is possible to suddenly lose his breath the next morning.
The prince's mood is a little complicated, although he didn't have much fatherly love when he was a child, but he is also his biological father after all, if there is no him, where would he come from.
In the past, he complained a lot about his mother's death in private, but it wasn't until he sat in this high position that he realized that some things were not as simple as they seemed.
Even as an emperor, some things are involuntary, as an emperor, there are more constraints around you, more things are listed in the forbidden area, and even thinking about it is a mistake.
Emperor Cangliang suddenly began to cough, after a series of coughs, the spirit just now seemed to have left with the cough just now, Emperor Cangliang's face was sluggish, he inhaled hoho, and pointed to a small box of things on the table.
The prince understood, and hurriedly took the things over with both hands.
Holding the thing in his hand, Emperor Cangliang took a deep breath, and his face finally improved, "This is the key." ”
The prince was stunned for a moment, and looked at the dusty box in Emperor Cangliang's arms, such a box, if it contained the key to the iron scroll, it was really unbelievable.
"The iron scroll is in Yuzhu'er's hands."
In just a few words, the prince was directly stunned in place, the iron scroll is the most sacred thing for every emperor, except for the prince, no one will know the location of the iron scroll, but the father just said that the iron scroll is in the hands of Yuzhu'er.
Although his father favored Yuzhu'er at the beginning, the prince didn't expect that his father would love Yuzhu'er to such an extent that even the iron scroll was given to Yuzhu'er as a plaything.
After the shock, the prince took a few deep breaths and tried to suppress his emotions, maybe Yuzhu'er deceived her father when she drugged her father.
When the box was opened, there was a delicate jade pendant inside.
The prince was stunned for a moment, the pattern on this jade pendant was a phoenix dance, but only half of it was lying in the box, and the other half was somewhere.
Encountering the crown prince's gaze, Emperor Cangliang turned his head in embarrassment and coughed lightly a few times to cover up the embarrassing atmosphere.
The prince also seemed to notice that something was wrong with him, and quickly looked away and took the jade pendant with a green body in his hand.
This jade pendant is made of fine materials, the tentacles are cold and warm, if it is a pair, I don't know what kind of scene it will be.
"The other half is in the hands of Yu Zhu'er, and I was bewitched by her words at the beginning, and sent the most important thing to her, which is the half of the jade pendant."
As he spoke, Emperor Cangliang took the jade pendant in the prince's hand into his hand and looked at it carefully, as if he was reminiscing about the past time.
With a deep sigh, Emperor Cangliang slowly spoke, "These two jade pendants are exactly the same, and when they are combined, they are iron scrolls, and the hidden guards of the imperial tomb will obey your orders when they see the combined jade pendants." ”
"In the past, it wasn't that my father refused to give it to you, but I really didn't know the whereabouts of the other half, I originally wanted to kill the jade bead directly, but thinking of this half of the jade pendant, there was still no way to start, so I only locked her in the cold palace."
Emperor Cangliang rarely said such a long sentence at once, and every time he said a few words, he had to stop and take a few breaths to rest.
"I thought that letting her be tortured in the cold palace would make her hand over the jade pendant, but what I didn't expect was that I couldn't bear it first, and now she is dead, and I don't know the whereabouts of the other half of this jade pendant."
"If you want to use it, you can take this half with you, try your best to find the whereabouts of the other half first, if you can't find it, I will give you other tokens, but unfortunately the group of hidden guards in the imperial tomb will only follow the guidance of the iron scroll, if you use other things, you may not be able to achieve the desired effect."
The prince was holding the half of the jade pendant in his hand, a little distracted, and right now, Yu Zhu'er was being locked up in another courtyard by him, and he didn't know what method to use to get the whereabouts of the half jade pendant out of her mouth.
To be sure, she certainly didn't have the jade pendant with her, but when she was brought back from the cold palace, someone had searched her, and nothing was found from her clothes at that time.
Without any clue, the task this time is very difficult, the prince clenched the jade pendant in his hand, frowned and thought of a way.
"If this iron scroll meets the other half, it will be hot, perhaps, you can go to the cold palace to take a look first."
After saying these words, Emperor Cangliang was already too tired to do anything, lay down, waved his hand at the prince, and slowly closed his eyes.
