"This jewelry box was given to us by the Queen Mother when I married the prince." Princess Jin said, "It's been a long time. It is said that this jewelry box is a tribute from Fanbang, because of its chic, I have kept it all these years. ”

"I know this." Chu Yue'an said, "This is what my mother brought with her when she entered Beijing, princess, I want to ask you for something, this jewelry box, I feel very kind when I see it, I think of my mother, can you give it to me as a memory?" ”

"It turns out that there is this allusion, you helped me to condition my body, so that I got pregnant smoothly, I can't repay this kindness, if you like this jewelry box, I will give it to you." Princess Jin smiled,

"It's always loved, it's embarrassing."

"It's just a jewelry box to me, but it means a lot to you." Princess Jin said, "You take it." ”

I didn't expect to get this octagonal jewelry box so easily, and I don't know what secrets are hidden inside?

Chu Yue'an quickly returned to Ninghou Mansion with the jewelry box, and after studying in the house for a long time, he never found any mystery about this jewelry box.

"No matter how you look at it, it's an ordinary jewelry box, what secrets are hidden?" Chu Yue'an looked puzzled, "It's not like Ling Huan's kid is playing tricks on me, right?" ”

In the middle of the night, when Ling Huan visited quietly again, Chu Yue'an was wrapped in a quilt and waited.

When he entered, he saw that Chu Yue'an was not sleeping, and said with a smile: "Don't you know that I am coming to you?" ”

"You're really well-informed, I just got my things back, and you're coming to the door." Chu Yue'an said lightly, "But I've studied it for a long time, and I haven't found anything strange." ”

"If it was so easy for you to discover, when this box was in the hands of King Jin and his wife, the secret in it would have been discovered a long time ago, would you still be waiting for you?" Ling Huan smiled, "What about the thing, I'll take a look." ”

"It's okay if I give you something, but you've got to tell me what's in this box, right?" Chu Yue'an asked, "After all, it took me a lot of effort to get it." ”

"Let me see if it's real or fake." Ling Huan sat on the bed and said, although only the dim moonlight shone in, the silver mask on his face was still very prominent.

Chu Yue'an took out the jewelry box from the quilt and handed it to Ling Huan's hand: "I know now that my mother's death is related to the old lady of the Hou Mansion, but I don't know the old lady's motives, I don't know if it is related to the secret of this box?" ”

Ling Huan carefully examined the jewelry box in his hand and said, "Sure enough, it's true." ”

"So you can tell me the secret, right?" Chu Yue'an sat upright, ready to listen to the rights and wrongs.

"Do you know about the Blood Spirit Orb?" Ling Huan asked.

"I haven't heard of it." Chu Yue'an said lightly.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, only a few people know about this thing, but this blood spirit bead has disappeared from the world for hundreds of years, no one knows where this blood spirit bead is, the clue I found is that the clue of this blood spirit bead is hidden in this octagonal jewelry box." Ling Huan said.

"Your purpose is to find the Blood Spirit Orb? But what does this have to do with my mother? Chu Yuean frowned and asked.

"The last place where this blood spirit bead appeared was your mother's maternal Zack tribe." Ling Huan talked about this period of the past, "Your mother was the sister of the Great Khan of the Zak tribe and the first beauty on the grassland of Fanbang, but the Zak tribe was overwhelmed by another rising Lege tribe, and your uncle sent your mother as a gift to the capital along with many treasures to His Majesty, and asked the Southern Tang to send troops to help them survive the catastrophe, but when the Southern Tang was preparing to send troops, there was a rebellion within the Zak tribe, your uncle was killed, and the Zak tribe was encroached upon. Your mother's purpose of coming to the capital has also been shattered. ”

After a pause, Ling Huan continued: "It is common for the grassland states to dump each other, and your mother was also forgotten like a pearl in the inner courtyard of the high-rise building in the capital, until eleven years ago, it was rumored that your uncle was not dead, and led a strange army to kill it again, and sent someone to the capital to get in touch with your mother, maybe it was to tell her the news of the blood spirit bead, but I didn't expect your mother to die in childbirth, and since then this news has been broken again." ”

Chu Yue'an's eyes narrowed: "Could it be that the purpose of my grandmother's killing of my mother is to make the blood spirit bead not reappear?" What does this Blood Spirit Bead have to do with her? At that time, the mother was in childbirth, and if the child was born, wouldn't she lose a grandchild? She is the one who values blood the most! ”

"The specific reason needs to be investigated by yourself." Ling Huan said, "That's all I know. ”

"Then why do you need the Blood Spirit Orb?" Chu Yue'an asked curiously.

"It's my thing." Ling Huan smiled lightly, "Naturally, there is my purpose, what is hidden in this box is only clues about the Blood Spirit Bead, and it may not be able to find the Blood Spirit Bead, this matter is still a long way to go." ”

"Is my uncle really alive? Mother still has relatives alive? Chu Yuean frowned and asked.

"Yes." Ling Huan smiled, "And now it's a force to be reckoned with, it's a good thing for you to get up, and you have one more backer, isn't it?" ”

"That being said, this person is just a stranger to me." Chu Yue'an said, "If we can meet one day, it would be good." ”

"No matter what, you helped me get this jewelry box, and I can grant you whatever you want." Ling Huan said.

"Boy, it's not a small tone." Chu Yue'an said, "That's good, if you find clues related to the Blood Spirit Bead, tell me by the way, this request is not too much, right?" If my mother's death was really related to the Blood Spirit Orb, I felt that I needed to know about this Blood Spirit Orb. ”

"No problem." After Ling Huan turned his head and glanced at Chu Yue'an, he readily agreed.

The moonlight crawled all over the ground like a layer of hoarfrost, and the night breeze of spring was gentle though it was slightly chilly. Chu Yue'an hugged his knees, looked at the silver frost on the ground, and sighed: "The bright moonlight in front of the bed, it is suspected that it is frost on the ground, raise your head to look at the bright moon, and bow your head to think of your hometown." ”

Ling Huan was silent for a long time, Chu Yue'an raised his eyes to look at him, he stared at her, there was appreciation and shock in his eyes.

"Although this poem is simple, it is sincere and good." Ling Huan said with a light smile, "Raise your head to look at the bright moon, and bow your head to think of your hometown...... This is your home, your hometown, what are you missing? ”

"It's just a poem, just say it." Chu Yue'an said lightly, "After I find out the cause of my mother's death and my eldest brother's death, I think I will leave here." I don't like this high-gate compound. Maybe I inherited my mother's blood, I shouldn't be a caged bird, I should be an eagle in the sky. My goal in life should not be to marry a good man, raise children, and intrigue with other women for a lifetime, I should have more important things to do, pursue freedom, and carry forward the Xuanmen, I want future generations to know that I am not someone's daughter, someone's wife, someone's mother, I am me, Chu Yue'an! ”

Ling Huan turned his head sideways and looked at the woman in front of him with admiration and tenderness: "Maybe you should be a man." ”

"I don't feel inferior to myself as a woman, women and men are both human beings, and everyone should chase the same thing." Chu Yue'an's eyes were firm and bright, even in the night, they were not to be ignored.

"A person with ideals should not be bound by identity." Ling Huan smiled lightly, "Yue'an, I believe you can get everything you want. ”

When he said the word "Yue'an", he was very gentle, in the hazy moonlight, with a hint of meandering, as if someone had scratched Chu Yue'an's heart with a feather, itchy, but elusive.

Obviously, he had already got the jewelry box, but Ling Huan didn't want to leave, in fact, in this small boudoir, getting along with Chu Yue'an so quietly could make him find the peace he hadn't seen for a long time.

He didn't know how long he had been sitting, he turned his head and found that Chu Yue'an had already fallen asleep, her sleeping position was not very elegant but very cute, he smiled and covered her with a quilt, and then left quietly.

When Chu Yue'an woke up again, the sky was already bright, and there was naturally no figure of Ling Huan beside the bed, she was secretly a little surprised, and now in front of Ling Huan, she seemed to be more and more relaxed, stretched her waist, and got up.

Just after breakfast, there was a decree from the concubine in the palace to let Chu Yue'an enter the palace to meet him.

Chu Yue'an wondered slightly, there was not much intersection between herself and the concubine, why did the concubine call herself into the palace? However, since this order had been passed on, Chu Yuean had no choice but to enter the palace after dressing up.

When the last time the son entered the palace, it was still the time of the orchid poetry meeting, it was autumn, the scenery was decadent, and now it was the middle of spring, and the palace was full of vitality, and the strange flowers and plants were competing for beauty, so it was not lively.

Liu Guifei is in the imperial garden, sitting in the pavilion, cooking tea at the moment, her temperament is very gentle, like a painting at the moment, but it is a pity that the King of Jin was not born to Liu Guifei, otherwise Princess Jin and Liu Guifei must be very compatible.

"I've seen the concubine." Chu Yue'an stepped forward and saluted.

"Get up." Liu Guifei smiled slightly, "Sit down." ”

Chu Yue'an sat down as she said, only to hear the concubine smile again: "The West Lake Longjing that the heart pays tribute to, can you taste it?" ”

"The courtiers don't have much research on tea, and such a good tea courtiers can only suck the cow and drink." Chu Yue'an said with a smile, "Niangniang, don't dislike the courtiers and spoil this good thing." ”

Liu Guifei smiled slightly: "No matter how good things are, they are all prepared for people, you can taste them." Princess Jin is pregnant now, I heard that you are the body you conditioned her? ”

King Jin and King Zhao are fighting, this heir is also extremely important, King Zhao has two sons and a daughter under his knees, and King Jin has always had no queen, could it be that Liu Guifei is here to settle accounts with her?

"Princess Jin is unwell, the courtier, as a doctor, prescribed her two pairs of medicines, this child is still God's will in the end, and the courtier's actions are minimal." Chu Yuean arched his hand.

"The Queen Mother has been looking forward to King Jin having a child earlier, and now that Princess Jin is pregnant, the Queen Mother is very happy, you have only played a very small role, and that is a great achievement." Liu Guifei said, "But it can be seen that you are very close to Princess Jin." ”

What exactly does Liu Guifei mean? Do you feel that you are too close to Princess Jin and want to knock yourself?

"Princess Jin has a gentle temperament, and she takes good care of her courtiers on weekdays."

"Her temperament is good, and the palace also likes her very much, she almost became the daughter-in-law of the palace back then, and in the end it was the luck of the King of Jin, who asked her to marry earlier." Liu Guifei smiled softly, "She doesn't like to go out on weekdays, it's also great for you to accompany her more, a lot of things have happened in Ninghou Mansion recently, you can really sort each other out." ”

"Yes."

Concubine Liu's eyes turned slightly, and she said: "The palace also knows a little about the affairs of Ninghou Mansion, and Yuezi's child has seen this palace a few times before, but I really didn't expect her to be ...... later The three sisters who haven't married in your house must be a little troubled, Yue'an, this palace wants to talk about a marriage for you. ”

Chu Yue'an was shocked, she really didn't expect that Liu Guifei's final purpose was to give marriage, and hurriedly said: "The courtier's mother-in-law has just passed away, and it seems that she is a little anxious about this marriage now." ”

"It's not like you're going to marry right now." Liu Guifei said, "This palace will not force you to marry, just listen to your opinion first." This person is the day of the palace, King Zhao, if you are willing to marry King Zhao, you will be a side concubine after entering the palace. ”

This Liu Guifei actually fell in love with herself as her daughter-in-law? That's a twist that's enough!

Chu Yue'an coughed: "The posture of the courtier Pu Liu is really not worthy of His Royal Highness King Zhao." ”

"To be honest, Bengong was still very surprised when he saw you this time, sure enough, it was the eighteenth change of the female university, and you and the little general Qinghua were indeed twins, and they were both equally radiant. This palace likes Qinghua's child very much, when His Majesty pointed out to you to marry the Qi family, this palace also thought it was a good family business, I didn't expect so many things to happen later, now your marriage must be affected a lot, this palace doesn't want you to delay, and I don't want you to marry low, it just so happens that King Zhao has a good influence on you, so I have this idea, you don't have to be afraid, you can talk to this palace if you have any ideas. ”

"The kindness of the concubine and King Zhao, Yue'an is grateful." Chu Yue'an knelt on the ground and said, "It's just that the courtiers don't want to marry King Zhao." ”

Someone would refuse King Zhao, which made Liu Guifei still surprised, every mother thinks that her child is the best, she smiled gently: "You get up first, can you tell Bengong why?" ”
