138. The book of war was stolen
She didn't want her mother to know that she had been away from the country, and she didn't want her to worry.
"You're not too young, you have to hurry up and have a child, don't miss the best age to have a baby~"
"Well, okay, mother, I know!" Yu Yao leaned on Yu Huifang's body and was coquettish, but her mind was full of other things.
She didn't know if this reunion with her mother would not be their last, she didn't dare to think about it.
The arrow is already on the string, Yu Yao doesn't want to retreat, if she fails, the only person she is afraid of being implicated is her mother.
Growing up so big, Yu Yao has never slept in the same bed with her mother, this time the two hugged each other and snuggled together, talked a lot, and finally fell asleep I don't remember.
In the middle of the night, Yu Yao woke up inexplicably, opened her eyes, saw the dazzling light at the head of the bed, blinked her eyes a few times, and wanted to get used to it, but it still didn't work.
Finally, when he squinted, he realized that the light was coming from the wooden box he had brought over.
Yu Yao got up and got out of bed, picked up the box, and began to ponder again in the bright light.
She thought that since the master said that the box could be opened, it would definitely be able to be opened.
So she tried to tap hard with her fingers little by little on the outside of the box, in case something didn't go unnoticed.
I don't know how long it took, but I heard a "bang" sound, and the outer shell of the box bounced open in all directions, revealing something wrapped in yellow brocade.
"What sound?" Yu Huifang was woken up by the voice just now and asked lazily.
"It's nothing, you sleep yours, I'm working on this box." Yu Yao responded.
"I don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you studying~" Yu Huifang muttered in the innermost, turned over, and continued to sleep.
Yu Yao looked at the open box, her eyes lit up, she was very excited, she gently took out the things inside, removed the yellow cloth, and a small bamboo slip book was revealed.
The light just now should have been emitted by the bamboo slips, and at this time, the light was getting dimmer and darker, so Yu Yao had to use the fire fold to light the candle.
Spreading out the bamboo slips in front of her eyes, Yu Yao carefully read the words on them. Yu Yao saw the text on it a little strangely, but she could understand it.
It records the march and battle of King Wu of Zhou, as well as the method and solution of the formation.
Yu Yao read it for a while, and suddenly felt enlightened, this book of war is really wonderful, the art of war talked about in it is really surprisingly successful, and not ordinary people can resist it.
"God help me!" Yu Yao sighed.
I didn't feel sleepy for a while, and I wanted to read it all in one sitting.
In the house, Yu Yao was reading at the desk, and Yu Huifang was asleep on the bed......
"Bang~" There was the sound of the gong of the third watch outside, Yu Yao rubbed her eyes, stretched her waist, and felt that she couldn't hold it anymore, so she wrapped the bamboo slips and put them in the box, this time she remembered the part where she opened the box.
With both hands together, the box returned to its original appearance.
In order not to wake up her mother, Yu Yao went to bed lightly, lay down next to Yu Huifang, and fell asleep.
When she woke up the next morning, Yu Yao's side was empty, and Yu Huifang must have gotten up early.
Looking at the box on the bedside case again, it was also empty, could it be that it was put away by my mother.
Yu Yao was not at ease, got up and walked out of the door, just in time for Yu Huifang to walk in from outside: "Mother, have you put away that box?" ”
"What box? Oh~ Is that the one you brought? I confiscated it, is it gone? Yu Huifang was confused when asked.
“…… You confiscated it? Yu Yao hurriedly returned to the inner room and checked everywhere.
“…… Aren't you still researching at night? No one had ever come in, and it must still be in the room. Yu Huifang saw Yu Yao's anxious face and comforted.
It stands to reason that this should be the case, but Yu Yao turned the bedroom upside down, and still didn't see the shadow of the box.
couldn't help but get nervous, Yu Yao knew the importance of the things in the box, and if she could enter the room and take the box unconsciously, if it wasn't for the servant maid, it would be difficult to do.
"Wash up and eat something first, and I'll come to the servants and maids to see if they have seen it." Yu Huifang looked at Yu Yao, who was lost and depressed, and said distressedly.
"Mother, hurry up and find the servant maid who is serving you to interrogate, that box is very important!" Yu Yao said eagerly.
"Good! I'll go now! Yu Huifang sensed the seriousness of the matter.
Yu Yao walked around the room anxiously, trying to figure out a clue.
There was a noisy sound outside, and Yu Yao hurriedly walked outside the house to see that her mother had gathered a number of servants together.
"I'm going to ask you something, who's been in this room since last night?" Yu Huifang pointed inside.
"I didn't!"
"I didn't!"
"I went in, I wanted to clean up the room, but when I saw that the princess was still resting, I retreated." A maid said.
"Have you ever seen a delicate box on the table at the head of the bed? So big. Yu Yao gestured.
“…… I didn't care~" The maid thought about it and said.
Yu Yao carefully observed the expressions of each maid servant, and then said solemnly: "To tell you the truth, there is no jewelry or anything like that in that box, if you take it it is useless, if anyone sees it or takes it, take it out or say it quickly, otherwise I will turn it over in the end, it will be a different situation......
All the subordinates bowed their heads and said nothing, and they couldn't see anything unusual.
Isn't it really these people who took it? If it is stolen by outsiders, then this person's skills are so terrible that no one notices it.
In order to prevent omissions, Yu Yao still searched the rooms of each of the subordinates, but the result was still nothing.
After the search, Yu Yao bowed deeply to everyone: "I didn't mean to harass you, it's just that the box is too important to me, if you are offended, please forgive me, this month's money will be counted as three!" ”
"Slave understands!"
"Slave understands!"
……
After pacifying everyone and letting them disperse, Yu Yao's heart became even more anxious.
"Does anyone else know about this box?" Yu Huifang reminded her.
“…… Others? ......" Yu Yao remembered that until yesterday, there were only two people who knew about this box.
Except for the werewolf Icho, the rest of the people are his father, right? ……
Yu Yao shook her head, not daring to continue thinking.
"What do you remember?" Seeing this, Yu Huifang asked.
"Except for the person who gave me this box, until now, the only person who knows about it is my father." When Yu Yao thought of this, her heart was entangled and uncomfortable.
The last missing clue, she didn't want to think about it, but the facts made her doubt.
Yu Yao, who originally planned to leave today, decided to stay for another day to clarify the matter.
Yu Huifang couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Yu Yao's words, she wanted to say something for Li Yuanting, but in the end she didn't say a word.
