Chapter 58: The Secret in the Copper Box

After the festival passed, guests from other places began to return one after another.

Peace finally returned to the palace. For the past few days, Windona has been locked in her room and has not gone out.

Ever since she dug up the copper box that day, she had been thinking about how to open it. The box looks ordinary, but it's actually very hard. She tried to make Xiao Wu smash it with a hammer and slash it with a sword, but the box was not hurt in the slightest.

"It looks quite ordinary, but I didn't expect it to be so strong!"

Wen Dona looked at the small box over and over again, and even forgot to eat it.

"The princess is still researching!"

Konishi pushed the door in with a plate of dim sum, "This is the dim sum sent by Brother Bai from Kyoto, hurry up and try it." ”

"Bai Jane?"

It's been a long time since I've heard from him, and I'm still a little used to hearing his name.

"That's right, they have completed their mission, and the army came back early this morning, but I heard that Big Brother Bai seems to have something delayed and can't come back for the time being, princess, try it."

"That's right."

Windona smiled a little disappointedly, rubbing the copper box in her hand. At this time, it would be good if Bai Jian was here, and he could still come up with an idea or something.

After fiddling with it for almost a day, she finally gave up the idea of destroying it with external forces.

Since it has a lock here, there must be a key to open it, but he was in too much of a hurry to dig the box and didn't notice the key, and yes, no thief would be stupid enough to hide the key with the lock.

Windona smiled self-deprecatingly. She carefully studied the keyhole, and in terms of shape, it was somewhat similar to the shape of an awl, and it was not quite the same as a normal lock.

"This shape...... Kind of familiar......"

She called Konishi and compared everything she could find that resembled an awl. It's just that the success rate of such a random experiment is very low, and after tossing for a while, all the test samples on the table do not meet the requirements, and only a small golden hairpin can barely be inserted into it.

"Golden ...... Hairpin ......"

Her brain is running fast, and since Jin Hai can insert it, it means that success is not far away!

She stared intently at Keyhole, and after a long, long time......

"I see!"

As if thinking of something, Windona suddenly began to rummage through the cabinets.

She remembers that when she was a child, she played with her mother's golden hairpin, and that golden hairpin was tapered!

Because this is specially made by her father for her mother, it is the only one in the whole world, and it is also a special treasure of his mother.

"I remember being here......"

She searched for her mother's things almost all over again,

"Found it!"

In one of the innermost boxes, Jin Hai lay quietly inside. Even after being idle for so long, this golden hairpin still exudes a golden glow, just like new.

"That's it!"

She took the golden hairpin and inserted it into the keyhole smoothly, only to hear a "click", and the copper lock was opened.

She was a little flattered by the sudden success, and what surprised him even more was what was in the box.

"This ...... It's ......"

What appeared in the palm of her hand was a glittering golden token, on which was clearly written the word "king".

This turned out to be my father's token!

Its value is equivalent to the heirloom jade seal, and whoever owns this token is equivalent to owning the throne.

It's just that this is something that my father carries with him, and no one dares to touch it. Something so important would now be in his hands. What the hell is going on?

In the dark, Wen Dona had a very bad premonition, she felt that something must have happened to her father. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lost the token recklessly.

The most important thing at the moment is to ensure the security of the token first. She carefully put it away and put it in a secret place. If you want to know the ins and outs, it seems that you have to find a chance to meet your father.

Early the next morning, Windona took the initiative to find Sannar after packing up.

The arrival of his sister made his brother a little surprised.

"What kind of wind is blowing today, and you will come to me?"

"Where's my brother?"

Wen Dona smiled, "It's just that my brother is too busy during this time, and I've always been embarrassed to disturb." Is my brother okay? I asked someone to bring the sweets from Kyoto and brought them to my brother to taste. ”

Looking at the smile on Windona's face, this made Sannar suspicious, but he couldn't say anything, but he felt that something was not right.

The two of them were eating and chatting, which seemed to outsiders to be a scene of brother and sister harmony, but what the two of them thought in their hearts was indeed different things.

"By the way, brother, Queen Bashina's birthday banquet is coming soon."

"My sister has a heart, it's really coming, didn't I just get free, and I'm going to start Zhang Luo's mother's birthday banquet in two days."

Sanar ate this thing without a bite, and his eyes did not blink to observe the change in Wendona's expression.

"The queen treats me as her own, and I have to prepare a great gift to repay his kindness!"

Wen Dona poured him a cup of tea very obediently, "My brother has worked hard day and night, preparing for the queen's birthday banquet, if you need any help, please ask my brother to tell me directly." ”

She knew that Sanar must be doubting the purpose of her trip, so she always kept her normal appearance, not in a hurry or impatient, and only said some nice scenes.

The best way for a person like him who doesn't trust anyone is to try to get close to him, and not to rush to gain his trust.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, General Sali is in a hurry!"

The two of them were chatting passionately about the birthday banquet, and others interrupted them uncomfortably.

"Urgent electricity? Get it! ”

Looking at his slightly furrowed eyebrows, Wen Dona felt that something must be wrong in Kyoto.

"Brother? Is something wrong? ”

She asked cautiously, but received no response.

Sannar was still reading the letter, his face getting worse and worse.

"Duo'er, that Bai Jane, how much do you know about him."

"Bai Jane?"

Windona was suddenly asked, which made her a little confused, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"He was abducted by the Assassins and his whereabouts are unknown."

"Boom ......"

For some reason, Windona felt her brain go blank for a moment.

Whereabouts...... Unknown......

Bai Jian's martial arts are so high, how can his whereabouts be unknown!

"Brother Prince, what the hell is this ......?"

"Forget it, you can go back first. I'll try to find out about this matter first. ”

Sanar waved his hand and turned inside.

She didn't know how she went back, he only knew that Bai Jian had an accident, and her life and death were unknown.

"Princess? What's wrong with you? Like a lost soul? Xiao Wu's sudden appearance of the big face made her sober up instantly.

"By the way, Xiao Wu, did you enter the palace with Bai Jian?"

"Right?"

"How is Bai Jian's martial arts?"

"Needless to say, Big Brother Bai's martial arts are unfathomable!" Xiao Wu's face was proud.

"...... like this"

"Princess, is something wrong? About Big Brother? ”

"Huh? No, it's nothing......"

Seeing the princess's spitting appearance, Xiao Wu's heart welled up with a trace of not a good feeling.

On this side of the main hall, Sannar looked at the person in front of him with a frown.

"General Sali, according to what you said, this Bai Jian was taken away by those two princes in Kyoto?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

At this time, Sali looked tired, he had gone through a flight all the way back to the East Fence.

"At that time, the scene was very chaotic, they didn't listen to my explanation at all, they rushed up and arrested people randomly, Bai Jian has been entangled with them, and we haven't found him for a long time afterwards."

"What if...... He went with them of his own free will, what do you say? ”

Sanar's words made Sali stunned,

"Didn't you say that Bai Jian was originally from Kyoto?" Sanar raised his eyebrows,

"This ......"

"No matter what, you must find someone for me, don't make any moves during this time, and the detective is planning."

"Yes, Your Highness. By the way, the princess, how do you explain it? After all, he's a princess, I'm afraid ......"

"Leave him alone." Sannar looked disdainful,

"It's just a guard, if there is any news, tell me in time, the queen's birthday banquet is coming, I don't want anything to go wrong."

"Yes, Your Highness"
