The next day, Gu Liuxi stayed in the Prince's Mansion. She sent someone to report to Gao Jun, saying that she would be in the Prince's Mansion temporarily and asked him not to worry about it and to continue looking for the whereabouts of the prince.

After a boring day in the Prince's Mansion, the Seventh Prince who had gone out early in the evening finally came back, and she couldn't wait to find the study.

The seventh prince was waiting for her in the study room early in the morning.

As soon as Gu Liuxi entered the door, she directly asked about the gold box. She was really curious about what was inside.

Lanshan Yucha glanced at her flatly and shook his head, "The box is made of pure metal. There is only one key in the world. Without that key, this metal box cannot be opened. I asked someone to find out about this metal box."

Only then did they learn about the whereabouts of the box. It turned out that the golden box was presented to him by a neighboring country at the emperor’s birthday banquet a few years ago. In other words, the golden box should have belonged to the emperor. However, a year ago, he heard that the emperor

He gave a golden key to Princess Lingxi."

Gu Liuxi didn't understand. "What does this golden box have to do with the golden key that the emperor gave to the princess?"

"Could it be..."

The combination of the golden key and the golden box made Gu Liuxi suddenly think of something.

Lanshan Yucha nodded, "You are right, the key to this golden box is the only one given to the princess by the emperor a year ago, which means that the key to this box is in the hands of the princess."

Gu Liuxi suddenly realized, "But, now the princess..." The princess is also missing now, so wouldn't the golden box be unable to be opened?

Could it be that those people knew that the princess was carrying the key to the golden box, so they kidnapped the princess?

No, no, this golden box has been hidden in the royal study. She probably had never seen it before she found it. Who knew that the golden key was in the princess's hands!

"I'm guessing that this box contains the missing jade seal?" Although this is just Lanshan Yucha's guess, he is 90% sure that this golden box is the missing jade seal, which means that only the princess can open it.

From this box, take out the jade seal.

That damn old man left a hand early in the morning, and he really loved the princess very much!

In this way, if the new emperor is not the one the princess likes, then she also has the right to replace the emperor, because she is in charge of the jade seal.

The Cangyue Empire has always established the eldest son as the crown prince, who will inherit the throne in the future. In addition to the important status, the second most important thing is the national jade seal. Only by obtaining the national jade seal can you issue orders to all civil and military officials.

There is an unwritten rule in the Cangyue Empire, which is that seeing the jade seal is like seeing the emperor himself. No matter who he is, as long as he holds the jade seal, he is the most powerful person, and he can demote the emperor and kill his ministers.

When the emperor hands over the protection of the jade seal to the princess, it means that she has the ability to decide who will be the next generation of emperor.

However, Gu Liuxi naturally did not know these things.

"Then what should we do now?" Without the jade seal, doesn't it mean that even if the seventh prince gets the golden box, he will not be able to become the next generation successor to the throne?

Lanshan Yucha's face was gloomy and she said nothing.

Yes! If there is no national jade seal, then it means that no one can inherit the throne, and the throne will always be free. On the one hand, it can save time for people to find the prince, but on the other hand, even if someone gets the gold box and knows that there is a jade seal, there is no way.

Use.

This is really a plan that kills two birds with one stone.

The Imperial Preceptor was indeed a good tactic. This way, the Queen's group would have more time to look for the Prince. However, they had all their plans except Gu Liuxi.

Lanshan Yucha suddenly raised her eyes to look at Gu Liuxi. That look made Gu Liuxi feel strange.

She swallowed hard and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?" She didn't know where the princess was, and she was also looking for her whereabouts! There was nothing he could do if he looked at her!

Lanshan Yucha retracted her sharp gaze, her face began to relax, and she said deeply: "Do you know why I let you enter the palace?"

Gu Liuxi nodded, "You said there is a task for me to do?" As for what task it was, it seems that he has not said it until now. Gu Liuxi also just thought of this. What exactly did he want her to do by letting her enter the palace?

Tea ceremony in Lanshan dialect: "When I let you enter the palace, I just wanted you to find the golden key. I have been trying every means to get you to sneak into the princess, but I didn't expect that you would meet the princess by accident, and

You also made the princess interested in you, so I used a trick to arrange for you to be with her..."

Gu Liuxi's face was as pale as lime. She never expected that Lanshan Yucha's purpose was to get her to sneak into the princess's side.

She suddenly felt that the Seventh Prince was too scary.

Lanshan Yucha paused for a moment, glanced at Gu Liuxi's pale face, and then continued: "You have been with the princess for so long, you should know that you have heard the princess mention something about the golden key, right?"

Gu Liuxi shook her head hastily, "I don't know, I have never heard the princess mention it, and the princess never told me about her." What Gu Liuxi said was true. The relationship between her and the princess was just between friends.

relationship, never mentioning things like life experience.

Lanshan Yucha did not continue to ask, but lowered his head, with a touch of sadness lingering on his body.

Gu Liuxi didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a long time, Lanshan Yucha raised his head, his eyes showing pure hatred. The strong hatred in his eyes made Gu Liuxi feel terrible.

When she was in the military camp, she had seen his cruel side and also his very cold-blooded side. This was the first time she had seen him with such deep hatred.

There seems to be a big secret hidden behind that hateful look.

Gu Liuxi looked at him and couldn't help but said, "What's wrong with you?"

Lanshan Yucha suddenly asked: "Do you know why I tried every means to get the jade seal?"

Gu Liuxi didn't know why and asked, "Why?" Did he really want to be the emperor? He thought so in his heart, but didn't say it directly.

"I want revenge."

Lanshan Yucha's words were a bit beyond Gu Liuxi's expectations, but they also aroused her curiosity.

"Why do you want revenge?"

Lanshan Yucha closed his eyes deeply, and a tear fell down his strong face.

During the story about Lanshan Yucha, Gu Liuxi learned that five years ago, the Cangyue Empire's most favored Concubine Yan Guifei died of poisoning.

Among all the princes, Lanshan Yucha is the most outstanding, and he is the best among the princes in terms of talent and martial arts.

That year, he was still young, arrogant, frivolous, talented, and favored by the emperor. He was also the son of the emperor's favorite concubine. He didn't know how to restrain himself, and his domineering attitude leaked out, and he unknowingly threatened the prince.

status without knowing it.

And he also became the object of attention of the ministers, and his limelight had completely overshadowed the prince at that time.

The queen began to worry, worried that the crown prince's position would be lost, so she teamed up with the monks from Daling Temple to stage a play, making the emperor think that Concubine Yan was an ominous creature. That night, the emperor even had a terrifying nightmare.

Later, Lanshan Yucha stabbed him with a sword, and he woke up in fright, panicking.

The queen even whispered in his ear, suggesting that Concubine Yan be poisoned without anyone noticing, and the emperor acquiesced.

Although she was a beloved concubine, there was nothing more valuable than her own life. In addition, the emperor himself was particularly sensitive and always suspicious. With his acquiescence, the empress had someone secretly poison Concubine Yan.

This matter was known by a maidservant who served the emperor. The maidservant had a very good relationship with Concubine Yan. Knowing that the empress had slandered her in front of the emperor, she planned to poison her.

The kind-hearted Concubine Yan did not believe that the emperor, who had always loved her so much, would do such a thing. Because she believed in the emperor, she knew the soup was poisonous, but she still drank it resolutely, and then she never woke up again.

Concubine Yan still believed in the emperor until her death, believing that the emperor would never treat her so cruelly.

However, she was wrong. For an emperor, what he loves most is always himself. Whatever threatens his existence, no matter how much he loves it, he will ruthlessly destroy it.

That year, he was ignorant and often escaped from the palace to play. The last time he escaped from the palace to play, he never saw his mother and concubine again after coming back. All that was left was a cold corpse and

Ten year old sister.

The truth about Concubine Yan's death and the whole process were learned from the mouth of the maid who had a very good relationship with Concubine Yan.

In the hand of the maid, there was a letter left by Concubine Yan Guifei to him. Concubine Yan wrote it to the maid before she died and asked the maid to give it to him on her behalf.

His mother-in-law knew that her father wanted to kill her, but until her death she refused to believe that the man she loved so much would do such a thing to her.

Concubine Yan's deep affection was only rewarded with a cold corpse.

The reason why the emperor favored Princess Lingxi in all kinds of ways could not be because he wanted to make up for his advice to Concubine Yan.

Princess Lingxi was still young at the time, and Lanshan Yucha didn't want her to know the truth about his mother's death. He could just avenge her alone. He hoped that Princess Lingxi could grow up happily.

Because her ten-year-old sister could not threaten the queen's status, the queen did not do anything to harm her. It was also because she was a princess that she saved her life. But Lanshan Yucha was not so lucky. He died after his mother-in-law died.

After that, he was sent out of the palace. It was better to say he was kicked out than he was sent away.

Fortunately, Concubine Yan had previously purchased a house outside the palace. It was originally intended to be a resting place when traveling, but in the end it became his final destination.

That year, he lived a very difficult life, and various killers often came to visit him. Fortunately, his martial arts master protected him and prevented him from being killed.

The queen repeatedly bribed assassins but could not kill him. A year later, when Xiwu was in chaos, the emperor used this as an excuse to banish him to Xiwu, hoping to take the opportunity to get rid of him.

He has always lived with hatred, and he lives for revenge.
