Chapter 272: Ancestral Relic
But this matter is related to Lu Xuan's life and death, and Gu Huanli can only believe that he has it rather than believe that he has nothing.
I saw him gradually frowning: "This king is also just in case, if the secret about the national fortune is really in the hands of the Lu family, I am afraid that it will bring you death." ”
Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "No, if that brocade box is a royal thing, I just need to return it to Your Majesty, maybe I can still be rewarded for meritorious deeds, how can it attract the disaster of killing?" ”
Gu Huanli's expression was serious, and he immediately dispelled Lu Xuan's thoughts-"Don't do this, this thing has been coveted by people for a long time, if it appears rashly, it will inevitably lead to scramble, and the Lu family who holds this thing will be the target of everyone." ”
Hearing Gu Huanli say this, Lu Xuan felt a sense of urgency in his heart, and hurriedly dispelled this thought.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Xuan spoke again: "Then if this thing is really in the Lu family, what should I do after I find it?" ”
It's very strange, this is obviously something that everyone dreams of, Gu Huanli is also a human being, and he is still the closest person to the throne, but Lu Xuan is not defensive against him at all, either because he has no intention of power, or simply trusts.
When the words fell, I only heard Gu Huanli's resolute voice, "Hide, never be discovered by anyone."
That being said, but paper can't contain fire, where in this world can there be anything that can really hide from the world?
However, since Gu Huanli had spoken, Lu Xuan didn't know anything about this matter, and when he didn't know the situation, he could only temporarily follow his instructions and nodded at him obediently.
Gu Huanli then called Lin Wei and ordered him to send Lu Xuan back immediately.
Lin Wei couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that this little couple was making something awkward again.
"Your Highness is injured, if Lord Lu goes back......" Lin Wei hesitated, Gu Huanli had asked him to cooperate in several scenes in order to keep Lu Xuan, so he shouldn't let people go so easily.
But who would have thought that when Gu Huanli heard this, he immediately reprimanded Lin Wei: "Won't you take care of this king when she leaves?" ”
Lin Wei was speechless, a few days ago, I didn't know who said that he was clumsy, and when he needed someone, he would let someone take care of him, and when he didn't need it, he would say that someone was useless, he really didn't know how he was blind and followed such a master in the first place.
But who calls people masters? Lin Wei didn't dare to refute, so he could only follow his orders, and then escorted Lu Xuan back to the house.
At that time, Rong Li was still worried about the events of the day, and when he learned that Lu Xuan was a woman and his feelings were finally justified, he should obviously be happy, but after this day's tossing, he felt like he had lost completely.
It wasn't until he heard the movement of Lu Xuan coming back from outside the door that Rong Li first couldn't believe it, and thought that he was hallucinating, but gradually heard her conversation with Cui Shi and Lu Nanjun, so he hurriedly looked out.
Seeing Lu Xuan coming back, Cui Shi smiled: "It's considered to be back, I heard Nanjun mention that you were assassinated at the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, but it worries me badly." ”
Lu Xuan hurriedly smiled and comforted Cui's: "A-Niang don't worry, isn't I unharmed?" ”
Cui Shi nodded, happy in his heart, and then asked: "I heard that His Highness saved you, and in order to save you, His Highness was injured, how is it now?" ”
After asking, before Lu Xuan could answer, a voice came from the other side: "His injuries have worsened, didn't you stay and take care of him?" How did you come back again? ”
When he said this, Rong Li's heart was mixed with joy and sorrow, Lu Xuan came back as he originally hoped, he should be happy, but he didn't show it at all.
Lu Xuan then remembered the matter, and then said to everyone seriously: "I came back today because I have an important matter to ask A-Niang, it just so happens that this matter has something to do with my cousin, so my cousin will come over with me." ”
After speaking, Lu Xuan took Cui's and went into the house, although Rong Li was confused, he followed closely.
Entering the house, the probe looked outside left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so Lu Xuan carefully closed the door, and then pulled the two to the inner room.
"What's the matter? It's so mysterious. Cui Shi smiled.
I saw Lu Xuan's face was serious, and he pondered for a while, and then asked Cui's family: "Auntie, is there any secret in the family that is related to the survival of the world?" ”
Hearing this, Cui Shi immediately laughed: "You kid, why do you talk nonsense as soon as you come back?" Where will our little Lu family have any secrets related to the survival of the world? ”
Thinking about it, even if the brocade box was really in the Lu family, she probably didn't know what was inside, so Lu Xuan had to ask another way: "Then what special box does our family have?" The family heirloom kind. ”
Lu Xuan looked at Cui Shi expectantly, but she was still confused: "It's not Ah Xuan, what do you want to ask?" Why is it that when I come back, it is a secret and a box, but what trouble is there? ”
"No, no, I just asked casually, if A-Niang is sure that there is not, I will be relieved." Lu Xuan gradually breathed a sigh of relief.
But before she could completely relax, Rong Lie on the side said with a heavy face: "What Ah Xuan said is the brocade box left by the ancestor emperor to the Rong family?" ”
Lu Xuan's eyes couldn't help but widen: "Cousin knows about this? ”
Rong Liao nodded: "As the eldest son of the Rong family, I naturally know, but it's you, how did you know such a secret?" ”
Lu Xuan didn't think much about it, and casually replied that it was Gu Huanli who told her.
Who knew that this sentence instantly ignited Rong Li's anger, and I saw a trace of anger suddenly appear on his face: "I should have known that he approached you with malicious intentions." ”
Rong Li's sudden speculation about Gu Huanli made Lu Xuan couldn't help but be surprised, and she subconsciously retorted without even thinking about it: "Why did my cousin say this, why did His Highness come from to get close to me?" ”
"It is rumored that the person who has won the Rong brocade box has won the world, there have long been rumors about the murderous king being the emperor, if he is not to find out the news of the brocade box from you, why would he let you come back because of this matter?" Rong Liao was suspicious of Gu Huanli.
Lu Xuan didn't want to listen to it at all, but was even more anxious to defend Gu Huanli: "Those rumors are all casually said by the people, Your Highness, he has never intended to take the throne, he asked me to come back to ask about this matter just to protect me." ”
"Protecting you? If he doesn't insist on having a relationship with you, you will naturally have a good life. Rong Li's anger has not subsided, it seems that the prejudice against Gu Huanli in his heart cannot be eliminated no matter what.
Lu Xuan didn't bother to explain more to Rong Li, and then asked him: "What is in that brocade box, why do so many people want to get it?" ”
Rong Li sighed: "I don't know what is in the brocade box, it was lost in my father's generation." ”
Sure enough, as Gu Huanli said, the brocade box containing the secrets of the royal family is no longer in the hands of the Rong family, so where will it be? Does it really have anything to do with the Lu family?
After hesitating for a while, Lu Xuan asked Rong Lily again: "I heard that it was a female senior of the Rong family who stole this thing from the clan in order to stay with her lover, is this true?" ”
"That's what he told you, too? Seems he knows a lot. Rong Li couldn't help but snort coldly, although he didn't answer Lu Xuan's question directly, but judging from his attitude, this legend was not a joke, but a real thing.
Lu Xuan didn't want to lie with Rong anymore and dwell on Gu Huanli's intentions, after all, as long as she believed this, it was enough.
"Does that cousin know who this senior is, and who did she give her tips to?" Lu Xuan asked towards Rong Li.
Rong Li didn't reply, but just looked at a certain place, and then heard Cui Shi beside him sigh deeply: "I didn't expect that the childish behavior when I was young can now lead to a bloody storm, and I still let you know after all." ”
Hearing Cui's words, Lu Xuan seemed to understand something, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes: "So that female senior is A-Niang?" Then that brocade box is really in the Lu family? ”
Cui Shi nodded, his face was full of sadness, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Ah Xuan, do you remember the piece of land that Lu Xilong has been coveting in my mother's house before?" In fact, it was not what he wanted, but what the court wanted. ”
Lu Xuan was even more at a loss when Cui Shi said: "What does the court want to do with A-Niang's land?" ”
That piece of land that Lu Xuan has seen is just ordinary, what does the imperial court want, why covet it?
But now that she is connected to the brocade box, she has a little guess in her heart: "Could it be that A-Niang's piece of land has anything to do with Rong's brocade box?" ”
Cui Shi nodded: "There is nothing special about that land, but there is something the court wants underground, that is, the secret mentioned in the brocade box, Lu Xilong accidentally learned about it, so he wanted to use this to curry favor with the court and seek glory and wealth." ”
"Then since the brocade box was originally given by the royal family, the land should also belong to the imperial court, why don't you return it to the original owner? It is also exempt from the grievances of these years. Lu Xuan secretly felt sorry for Cui's.
Over the years, the Cui family has been bullied by Lu Xilong because of that land, and if there was no land, there might not be so many things.
Hearing this, Rong Li refuted Lu Xuan: "Absolutely not." ”
Lu Xuan was surprised, and then she heard Rong Li's explanation-
"When the ancestors gave the brocade box, they once confessed, and it was necessary to hand over the four brocade boxes to the Ming monarchs of the past dynasties in turn, but also to prevent the destruction of the country that they had worked hard to build in the hands of the mediocre descendants.
If Emperor Liang Qin did not have the habit of protecting internal and external suspicions, why would the crown prince and King Chang be so blatantly forming parties for personal gain and misconduct? Gu Huanli fought bloodily for the imperial court, why was he guarded by him everywhere?
From this point of view, Emperor Liang Qin is indeed not the best candidate to sit in the world, and the ancestral emperor has long been prescient.
