Yun Qian was slightly startled when he heard this, and Princess Chu added: "If Zhou'er hadn't always been very competitive, I'm afraid that the position of the prince of the palace would have fallen to Chu Tianyou. Chu Tianyou's temperament follows Lu Zhu's, and he usually lives in seclusion.
It seems harmless, but he has been annoyed by Zhou'er a lot over the years, and I think he has accumulated a lot of resentment in his heart."
When Yun Qian heard what Princess Chu said, she felt that Princess Chu seemed to be in a daze because of illness, but in fact, her heart was like a mirror. None of the things in the palace could be hidden from Princess Chu's eyes.
Yun Qian said softly: "Mother is right."
Princess Chu's eyes were deep, she took out something from her arms and handed it to Yun Qian, saying, "Keep this."
Yun Qian saw that it was a jade key. She was slightly stunned and asked, "What is this?"
Princess Chu explained: "Baifu used to be a famous family in Huainan. In the early days, the family was prosperous and prosperous for a while. However, in my father's generation, it gradually declined. I am the legitimate daughter of Baifu.
There is an elder brother. In the year when I married into Prince Chu’s palace, my elder brother..."
There was a trace of tears in Princess Chu's eyes, her lips trembled slightly, then she stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears in her eyes and said: "In that year, my brother died young. Before his death, he wrote a hexagram
, asked me to take care of Luo'er for him, and this jade key was also sent with the letter."
Yun Qian saw that she was a little agitated and felt that there might be something hidden about her brother's death. However, Princess Chu didn't want to mention it, so naturally she couldn't ask any more questions.
She whispered: "My uncle gave the key to my mother, but does it have a deep meaning?"
Princess Chu said quietly: "The Bai family has been a prosperous family for hundreds of years. It has gone through two dynasties without mourning. There are actually some secrets. However, although I am the legitimate daughter, I cannot inherit the Bai family, so there are many things that I don't know much about.
.I only know that the marriage between me and the prince that day was just another conspiracy. I used to be young and couldn’t understand some things. After experiencing so many things, although I have figured out many things, my heart is even more complicated.
It’s cold and I don’t want to delve into it any further.”
"As for this jade key." Princess Chu said slowly: "Your uncle only mentioned one sentence when he sent it, saying that it was related to our ancestors. I can't understand anything related to my ancestors. I only vaguely heard about it before.
The mansion is in charge of a treasure, and this key is the key to unlocking the door of the treasure." Princess Chu said softly.
Yun Qian was stunned for a moment and said: "This key is so precious, I can't accept it."
Keys made of jade are very rare, because the texture of jade is very brittle and will break with just a little force. Yun Qian doesn't know much about the affairs of Bai Mansion, but he feels that it is better to avoid touching anything related to the treasure.
After she said that, she handed over the key. Princess Chu picked it up and put it back into Yun Qian's hand and said, "Let's not say that you saved my life. As an elder, I should also give you a greeting gift, but
I have been ill for many years, and all the valuable things around me have been taken away, and I have nothing to give you. If I hadn’t known that this key was too important and had hidden it properly, I would have done it now.
there is none left."
Yun Qian said softly: "Mother, you should give me other gifts. This thing is the last thing that my uncle left to my mother. It is extremely inappropriate for me to keep it."
