Chapter 63 is about to change
I don't know where the keyhole is, it's useless to have a key, Su Wan really wants to use violent means to open this wooden box.
"If you can't open it, how can you be sure that what is in this wooden box is Xia Liang's heirloom jade seal."
It's not that she doesn't believe what Xia Pengyu said.
Chu Mojing picked up the wooden box and looked at it carefully.
When he saw a pattern carved on the wooden box, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Why is this pattern so familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.
Chu Mojing thought about it, where had he seen this pattern.
Chu Mojing picked up the key on the table, and he carefully looked at the pattern on the key.
The pattern on the key and the pattern on the wooden box are very similar but not the same.
Su Wan propped her chin.
"The eldest prince didn't tell me that the box of the jade seal of Xia Liang was a trap box, nor did he tell me how to open this trap box."
Just when the two of them were at a loss, Chu Mohan walked in.
He woke up and didn't see Su Wan, thinking that she must be here with the fourth brother.
Chu Mohan saw a wooden box on the table, and he walked to the table and sat down.
He asked suspiciously, "This is the heirloom jade seal?" ”
Su Wan was weak to speak: "This glance knows that it is a wooden box, and Xia Liang's heirloom jade seal is in the box." ”
Chu Mohan picked up the wooden box curiously, wanting to open the wooden box to see what was inside, but it took a long time to open the wooden box.
Chu Mohan angrily threw the wooden box back on the table, and he pouted dissatisfiedly; "Something broken, you can't open it at all."
Su Wan pointed a little carelessly, the key in Chu Mojing's hand; "This box is not an ordinary box, it is a trap box, if you want to open this trap box, you have to use the key in the hands of the fourth prince to open it."
Chu Mohan suddenly became interested, and he rushed to Chu Mojingdao; "Fourth brother, give me the key."
Chu Mojing handed the key to Chu Mohan, and Chu Mohan took the key.
Su Wan snickered in her heart, neither she nor Chu Mojing could open this trap box, how could Chu Mohan open it.
Chu Mohan took the key in Chu Mojing's hand and picked up the wooden box again.
Chu Mohan found that this wooden box did not have a keyhole that could be inserted into the key at all.
Chu Mohan frowned; "Why doesn't this box have a keyhole? How to insert the key without a keyhole, how to open the box. ”
Su Wan thought that Chu Mohan would give up if he couldn't open the box, but he didn't expect that Chu Mohan didn't give up, he looked at the wooden box seriously.
Su Wan didn't have much hope that he would be able to open the wooden box.
"It's opened." Chu Mohan shouted excitedly.
Su Wan and Chu Mojing looked at Chu Mohan in shock.
That box was really opened by Chu Mohan.
"How did you open this trap box?" Su Wan asked in disbelief.
Chu Mohan said with a grin; "I used this key to open this box."
Chu Mohan raised the key in his hand and said.
Su Wan looked at the key in his hand, which seemed to be a little different from before.
Su Wan's eyes narrowed slightly; "Fourth Prince, come and see, is this key a little different from before?"
Chu Mojing looked at the key in Chu Mohan's hand, this key was indeed a little different from before.
"Ninth brother, let me see this key."
took the key handed over by Chu Mohan.
Chu Mojing found that the pattern carved on the key could move.
His bony fingers gently twirled the pattern on the key.
Su Wan on the side was stunned.
"The pattern engraved on this key can be moved!" Su Wan was surprised.
"This key is very finely made, turn the pattern on the key to be consistent with the pattern on the wooden box, gently close the key to the wooden box, and carve the same pattern, the wooden box will open."
Chu Mojing couldn't help but admire, the design of this mechanism box was really ingenious.
Su Wan nodded as if she didn't understand.
She looked at the box, and it was a treasure.
Chu Mohan put the wooden box on the table.
For the heirloom jade seal inside, several people were not interested.
Chu Mojing confirmed that what was placed in the trap box was Xia Liang's heirloom jade seal, so he closed the trap box.
Su Wan propped up her chin; "If King Ning knew that this heirloom jade seal was in our hands, would his nose be crooked?"
Chu Mojing did not tell Su Wan that he saw King Ning go to the Second Prince's Mansion.
King Ning's Mansion, King Ning sat on a chair and listened to his subordinates report the situation to him.
Ning Wangdi's brows tightened more and more, and his face became more and more ugly.
His hands clenched tightly on the armrests of his chairs.
King Ning's subordinates lowered their heads very low, and he could feel the anger emanating from King Ning's body, and the voices of King Ning's subordinates became smaller and smaller as they went back.
King Ning threw the tea at hand. The teacup fell to the man's hand.
Fragments of the teacup splattered, and a piece of teacup ground cut a hole in the back of the man's hand, and blood dripped down the back of the man's hand and fell to the ground.
The man was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.
The head was lowered.
The housekeeper outside the door heard the movement coming from the house and immediately opened the door and entered the room.
The housekeeper is King Ning's confidant, who has followed him for more than 30 years, and King Ning trusts him very much.
When the man saw the butler come in,
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.
The butler glanced at the man kneeling on the ground and slowly walked in front of King Ning.
"Lord Wang, what happened, why did you get so angry."
King Ning coldly glanced at the man kneeling on the ground and said angrily; "A bunch of useless stuff."
The man kneeling on the ground shuddered.
The butler said with a smile; "Lord Wang, why are you so angry, this heirloom jade seal can't be found, and it won't have any impact on us."
King Ning's face was still very ugly; "I can't find this heirloom jade seal, it's always a hatred in my heart, and you also know which ministers of the DPRK and China, all of them are old and stubborn."
He has been looking for this heirloom jade seal, but he can't find it, a few days ago, the little eunuch who was waiting for the emperor inadvertently slipped away.
The emperor handed over the jade seal to the eldest prince.
Knowing that the emperor handed over the jade seal of the country to Xia Pengyu, he sent someone to the palace of the great prince, the prince was unconscious because of poisoning, and he had no way to ask about the whereabouts of the jade seal of the country, so he could only bring it into the palace of the great prince.
It's just that his people turned the Great Prince's Mansion upside down, and they didn't find the heirloom jade seal.
The person he sent to keep an eye on Xia Pengyu said that on that day, the eldest prince came out of the palace and did not go back to the eldest prince's mansion, but went directly to the second prince's mansion.
King Ning guessed that Xia Pengyu must be the general, and the jade seal of the country was hidden in the second prince's mansion.
So he took people to the Second Prince's Mansion.
This time, the heirloom jade seal was still not found.
King Ning's forehead was bruised; "Where do you say Xia Pengyu will hide this heirloom jade seal?"
The old butler said; "According to the old slave, there are only a few places where the great prince can hide the jade seal of the Tibetan country, and you have found the prince in these places, unless you ......"
The old butler stopped talking.
King Ning looked at him; "Say whatever you want."
The old butler said; "Lord, do you think it will be, the eldest prince did hide this heirloom jade seal in the second prince's mansion, but someone took this heirloom jade seal away."
This is just his speculation.
King Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, this may not be for nothing.
"You say, who took away this heirloom jade seal?"
"Since the prince asked, the old slave will boldly guess."
King Ning leaned his back on the back of his chair; "Tell me about it."
The old butler said slowly; "Her Royal Highness the princess didn't know what method was used, she escaped from the palace, and after escaping, her royal highness went straight to Northern Chu, and after the prince found out, he sent someone to catch Her Royal Highness the princess back, those useless things, and did not catch Her Royal Highness the princess back, the old slave guessed that Her Royal Highness the princess must have seen the emperor of Northern Chu."
"What if you see it, it is impossible for Northern Chu to get involved in this matter." King Ning said disdainfully.
The old butler said again; "Northern Chu really won't care about this kind of thing, it's just that the prince doesn't think that the four princes of Northern Chu will come to Xia Liang to discuss at this time, and the two countries will mine iron ore together, and there is something strange."
King Ning thought about it and felt that Chu Mojing was indeed a little strange when he came to Xia Liang at this time.
"This ......"
"Lord, think about it, as soon as you released the news of the poisoning of the eldest prince, Her Royal Highness the princess returned to the palace by herself in a few days, but we searched everywhere for the whereabouts of Her Royal Highness the princess, and Her Royal Highness the princess returned to Jinling silently, and the prince never thought about how Her Royal Highness the princess returned to Xialiang from Northern Chu, and how to avoid the guards who searched for her everywhere, there is only one explanation for all this, that is, Her Royal Highness the princess accompanied the four princes of Northern Chu."
King Ning looked at the old butler.
When he said this, King Ning's face became even worse.
"According to what you say, this heirloom jade seal is already in the hands of the four princes of Northern Chu."
The old butler nodded.
King Ning got up suddenly; "Go and send someone to invite the four princes of Northern Chu."
The old butler was busy; "Lord Wang, this matter is just the old slave's speculation, you can't startle the snake at this time."
King Ning sat back in his chair, his eyes narrowed slightly; "You say, what's next?"
The old butler said with a smile; "This heirloom jade seal is useless in the hands of the four princes of Northern Chu, since the four princes of Northern Chu have been involved in it, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, the prince should do it as soon as possible."
King Ning waved his hand; "You stand down first, let me think about it."
"Yes."
King Ning was the only one left in the room, and King Ning rubbed his temples that hurt a little.
The old housekeeper closed the door, he knew that King Ning was not a soft-hearted person, and the prince had endured it for so many years, just for this day.
The ministers came to the gate of the palace in a carriage, and the sky was just dawning.
Several ministers who knew each other greeted each other.
Among them, there was a minister in his forties who was somewhat wealthy; "It's been almost two months since the emperor was sick, will the emperor ......?"
The next words were not uttered by the minister.
Another minister answered; "The emperor is in good health, why did he suddenly fall ill, don't you think it's a little strange?"
The chubby minister said; "What's strange."
