Chapter 14: The Prince's Legacy
"Your Highness, please." Wang Xi had been waiting outside, and when he saw Yang Yu coming out, he greeted him in small steps, signaling Yang Yu to follow him.
Yang Yu shook the key in his hand and followed behind Wang Xi knowingly.
Both of them walked silently, not saying a word, only the sound of footsteps echoing.
Turning left and right, passing through the long corridor, looking at Wang Xi who was leading the way in front, Yang Yu suddenly found that he was not unfamiliar with the East Palace, and even the eunuch who had been taking care of him around him did not know everything.
At least in his memory, he didn't notice that Wang Xi still had this identity, and he didn't have the slightest impression of the prince's mansion.
Wang Xi's footsteps stopped, Yang Yu came to his senses, it turned out that he had reached his destination, looked up, and saw that in front of him was a very ordinary palace, from the appearance, it was no different from other palaces, mottled walls, dust all over the ground, everything showed that this was an ordinary palace, and it could even be said to be an abandoned palace.
According to Yang Yu's assumption, this kind of place where treasures are hidden is also impregnable, and it is guarded by heavy soldiers on the inside and outside three layers, so it will not be such a dilapidated place.
"Your Highness, please." Wang Xi stopped outside the palace gate and said a little mysteriously.
Yang Yu looked over and saw that the door of the palace was closed, and a copper lock was locked on the door, it seemed that the copper lock had not been touched for a long time, and it was already covered with green moss.
Yang Yu shook the key in his hand, came to the door, gently straightened the lock with his hand, picked up the key in his hand, inserted it into the lock, and rotated it gently.
The copper lock was rusty on the outside, but it was not rusty inside, Yang Yu didn't use too much strength, and the lock was opened with a snap.
With a slight push, the palace door creaked open, and Yang Yu pushed open the wooden door and walked in.
On the outside, the dilapidated palace looks new, and in the palace, there is a candle on each side, which illuminates the room.
Twelve guards stood in two neat rows, all of them in full armor and standard East Palace guard equipment.
"See His Royal Highness the Acting King,"
A neat and loud voice sounded in his ears, mixed with the collision of soldiers and irons, Yang Yu could hear it, and one of the voices was the voice of Dong Yue, the commander of his guards.
A dozen fully armored guards landed on one knee, motionless in a salute posture.
Under the illumination of the candlelight, Yang Yu recognized that it was Dong Yue who was the leader, and the other guards were also familiar faces that he often saw.
"Everyone, please." Yang Yu's lips were a little dry, it turned out that it was not only Wang Xi, but Dong Yue was also the guardian of this treasure house.
"His Royal Highness King Xie Dai." Dong Yue thanked him loudly, and he could hear from his voice that he was in a state of excitement.
Yang Yu was very surprised. Yang Yu somewhat understood that these people took the initiative to show their identities, that is, Concubine Wei was handing over the power of the East Palace to herself.
In fact, Concubine Wei is also very helpless, she is the crown princess, and Yang Yu is the eldest son, but Yang Yu was born late, and now Yang Guang is getting older and older, and when choosing an heir, age will definitely be the first factor to consider, after all, the young emperor should not stabilize the country.
In addition, Yang Guang was not a succession, so the identity of Yang Yu's eldest son was lost a lot.
Now that Yang Yu finally has such signs, Concubine Wei is also desperate.
With a bang, all the guards stood up, and their movements were neat, and they automatically divided into two rows, leaving a passage.
At the end of the passage, the entrance to a secret chamber appears.
Under the fanatical gaze of the guards, Yang Yu walked through the sidewalk with complicated thoughts and came to the secret room.
With a push of his hand, the door of the secret room slowly opened.
Yang Yu didn't know what to say, at this time, the organs of the secret room had all been closed, if it was a clever thief in normal times, he had already touched the mechanism at this moment and became a turtle in the urn.
Yang Yu entered the secret room alone, the door of the secret room was quietly closed, the light suddenly dimmed, only a burning candle emitted a faint light, and a eunuch dressed in black appeared silently in front of the lamp.
"Ahh Yang Yu was taken aback. I didn't expect there to be anyone in the secret room.
"Your Royal Highness, don't panic, you are absolutely safe here." The black-clothed eunuch seemed to have not spoken for a long time, and his voice was a little distorted and a little hoarse.
"You are ......" Yang Yu is not a thirteen or fourteen-year-old soul after all, and after being startled at first, he slowly calmed down.
"His Royal Highness the Acting King can call the slave maid black." The black-clothed eunuch's voice was calm and unwavering.
Dressed in black, Yang Yu looked at the black eunuch costume and nodded thoughtfully, dressed in black, he has lived in the dark for a long time, which is worthy of the name.
"His Royal Highness the Acting King is here for the first time, please allow the slaves and maids to lead the way for His Royal Highness the Acting King." The black-clothed eunuch saluted and asked.
Yang Yu nodded, and the black-clothed eunuch picked up the candle and ignited a round object next to him.
Boom, the fire suddenly ignited, and Yang Yu saw that the round object was a torch fixed to the wall.
However, this was only the beginning, as if by magic, one torch after another burned automatically, and in an instant the whole room was illuminated.
"Wow"
Yang Yu exclaimed, and everything in front of him made him cry out loud.
Under the light of the fire, rows of wooden shelves filled the entire secret room, and pieces of orange and yellow gold bricks were placed all over the wooden frames, reflecting the charming light under the illumination of the firelight.
Usually we talk about 10,000 taels of gold, maybe there are not many waves in our hearts, but when the same value of gold is placed in front of you, such a strong impact is incomparable, and not many people can resist it.
"This, this ......" The otaku Yang Yu was stunned and a little incoherent.
"There are 100,000 catties of gold here."
The black-clothed eunuch reported such a number, and although his tone was still stable, it was still slightly up, which showed that he was still a little proud when he saw the shocked expression of His Royal Highness the Acting King.
100,000 catties of gold, according to the ancient times, one catty is 16 taels of conversion formula, that is 1.6 million taels of gold, yesterday I was still worried about no money, today I suddenly became rich overnight. is after experiencing such a bizarre thing as crossing over, Yang Yu's heart is still pounding, and it can't be calmed down for a long time.
Walking through the long secret room, when passing by these wooden frames, Yang Yu couldn't help but reach out and pick up a gold brick, the gold brick is full of color, the surface is smooth and bright, and it is obvious that someone often wipes it.
Walking to the end of the wooden frame, down was a staircase, and the black-clothed eunuch took the lead to go down, followed by Yang Yu.
The wealth on the second floor is even more amazing, a large box of jewelry and agate, neatly arranged, are the best of the South China Sea, under the light of the fire, the house is full of jewels.
However, after the stimulation of a million taels of gold, Yang Yun's bearing capacity has improved a lot, and he is no longer so out of shape, Rao is so, Yang Yu still picked up a few luxury jewelry that he had never seen in his previous life and played with it.
Seeing that the treasures that he didn't even have the qualifications to see in his previous life, but in this life, the whole house was actually placed, Yang Yu couldn't help but sigh.
In addition to these jewels, the second floor is covered with antique calligraphy and paintings, and in general, the second floor is worth much more than the first floor.
However, Yang Yu didn't care so much about the second layer, because he knew that the troubled times were coming, as the saying goes, the troubled times were golden and prosperous antiques. The second layer of things will be worth a lot in another year.
"Looks like we're going to get rid of these things as soon as possible." Yang Yu thought secretly in his heart.
