Chapter 16: The Empress Entrusts the Nebula Ring

"Mother Zhang, don't you think it's unusual behind this?"

Looking at Hua Zhen's eyes, Zhang's mother was very shocked: "What does Miss mean, is there a reason why the master wants Miss to return to Luzhou?"

"It should be, after all, I have been in the capital since I was born, and I have never returned to my hometown in Luzhou. ”

"So what should we do now?"

Thinking about what Xiaoju said just now, Zhang's mother couldn't help but be a little afraid, if it was really as Hua Zhen said, Hua Yan sent her back to Luzhou for a reason. And Hua Yue has contacts with people in the capital, so isn't it very dangerous for her own young lady to do so now.

Thinking like this, Zhang's mother couldn't help but gasp: "Miss, what should I do now?"

Listening to Mother Zhang's tone, Hua Zhen raised her head to meet her gaze, smiled slightly, and then said softly: "Mother Zhang, don't worry, now let's see if Xiao Ju can find out who Hua Yue is in contact with." If you can know who made Hua Yue instigate the second uncle to treat me like this, you can know what is hidden behind this. ”

"But Miss, can we believe it, Xiaoju?"

"Xiaoju just wants to live, and it won't harm us. Hua Zhen said, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Thinking of the Shen family in the capital, she only felt that she felt cold from her bones, and that kind of coldness made her can't help but clench her fists tightly, as if only the pain of her own nails pinching into her flesh could make her sober up.

After a long time, he calmed down, looked at Zhang's mother and said softly: "Mom, do you remember when I was in the capital, where was the box my aunt gave me when she died?"

Mother Zhang was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then remembered and hurriedly responded: "The slave has been putting it in the box, since the master had an accident, the young lady has never been aware of this matter, when she took out this box from the palace, the young lady has never paid attention to it, and the slave has been keeping it, so I will go to the young lady to get it." ”

As she spoke, Mother Zhang turned around and took out a delicate rosewood box from the bottom of the wardrobe.

Hua Zhen clearly remembered that this box was given to her by the palace when Empress Renxiao was seriously ill after Hua Yan died in battle. At that time, when Empress Renxiao gave her the box, the emperor also came to visit the queen in person, so she asked her to open the box in front of her.

Hua Zhen remembers it clearly, but now that she looks back on it, she feels that it doesn't seem to be so simple.

Hua Yan died in battle, the Hua family was left with only one orphan girl, Empress Renxiao summoned her into the palace, but she was rewarded with such a box of gold and silver jewelry, I didn't feel the taste at first, but now I look back and think about it, I only feel that there is something in the eyes of Empress Renxiao. It's just that I can't say it in front of the emperor.

Zhang's mother put the rosewood box on the table, and Hua Zhen reached out to open the box and poured all the jewelry inside on the table.

The box was very large, full of many bracelets, jade and pearl chains, and Hua Zhen didn't even look at it, but took the sandalwood box in her hand and looked at it carefully.

She didn't care about it before, but when she looked at it again today, she only felt that this box was a little unusual.

Because of the preciousness of rosewood, most of the ordinary boxes are of moderate thickness, but the one in her hand, after getting all the things out, still feels heavy.

It's just because the inner walls of this box are very thick.

Mother Zhang looked at the jewelry on the table, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "In the past, when Queen Renxiao was alive, she loved Miss the most, and these must be the queen's favorite things." ”

Hua Zhen looked at Zhang's mother when she heard this, and saw Zhang's mother pick out a ring from a pile of jewelry and hand it to Hua Zhen.

"The slave maid has been following the Shen family for a long time, and she has been serving in the Shen family when the lady has not married the Hua family. The relationship between Mrs. and the queen is very good, this ring is a pair, one is in Mrs., which is engraved with a bright moon, and this is the queen's, which is engraved with a star. When Madame passed away, the lord let it sleep underground with Madame. But I didn't expect that when the queen was seriously ill, she actually gave this to Miss, maybe she thought that Madame's was still in Miss's hands, so let them put together again. ”

He sighed softly.

Hua Zhen's gaze fell tightly on the ring.

The bronze ring, of which I can't tell what it is, is carved in the shape of a cloud with a blue gemstone in the middle.

After Zhang's mother said this, it really looked like a star in the clouds, like a nebula.

Hua Zhen couldn't help but take the ring in her hand and look at the jewelry.

If this ring hadn't been taken out by Zhang's mother and placed in that pile of jewelry, it would be very inconspicuous, and no one would have paid attention to this ring at a glance. It's just because her appearance is too simple, except for the sapphire that looks cold.

Hua Zhen took the ring, and when her eyes returned to the sandalwood box, she saw that the bottom of the box seemed to have a trace of white edge.

Suddenly, I only felt a thunder strike in my head.

The rosewood box is made of solid wood, and there will be no white edges in any case, but at this moment, the position of the bottom of the box is unsealed, but there is something strange.

He immediately stood up and threw the box on the ground.

Suddenly, the box cracked on the ground, and the bottom was split in half, and Zhang's mother suddenly exclaimed in fright: "Miss, what are you going to do." ”

I saw Hua Zhen squatting down and taking out a piece of letter paper from the broken bottom of the sandalwood box.

Because it has been sealed in the box, no one has touched it, and now it looks like a new one.

Seeing the letter paper, her mother was completely stunned, she couldn't imagine that there was another mystery hidden in this box.

Hua Zhen didn't care about her attitude, just looked down at the letterhead.

There were a few lines of words written on it in hairpin letters, but the handwriting was beautiful, but Hua Zhen's heart sank suddenly.

"Zhen'er, when you read this letter, your aunt may no longer be in this world. Aunt has a lot of things to say to you in detail, you just need to remember not to go back to Beijing, take the things left by your father to Lu Long Xunning's house, don't go back to Shen's house. There are many things that my aunt can't tell you clearly, so don't let your aunt and your mother down, go to Lu Long to find your aunt's cousin and uncle. Among these jewelry, there is a Nebula Ring, with the Nebula Ring, you will be the owner of the Xingchen Pavilion in the future, when you return to the Ning family, they will definitely protect you, don't go to Beijing and get involved in these disputes, remember!

Hua Zhen put down the letter after reading it, but her heart sank completely.

In her previous life, she didn't care about this, and naturally she hadn't seen this letter, but she didn't send the letter until she read it again, it turned out that all this was already doomed.

Empress Renxiao's letter was to tell her not to return to the capital again, and to ask her to find Ning's family.

I am afraid that there was an unspeakable conspiracy behind the death of Empress Renxiao, otherwise why didn't the queen tell her this in the palace, Bisheng hid this letter in such a secret place, and why did she just get something in the queen's palace, and the emperor happened to come over.

Looking back now, Hua Zhen only felt a chill behind her.

Seeing this, Zhang's mother couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with Miss?"
