The red lacquered tray was covered with red silk, and it was flat and neat. For a moment, it was hard to tell what was inside.
Xiao Yang stretched his neck and couldn't see anything for a long time. He couldn't help but said in a nonchalant manner: "Hey, such a tray can fit it. What kind of treasure is the eldest brother looking for?"
Xiao Mu didn't say anything, but walked very steadily. When he arrived in front of Empress Dowager Jiang, he bent down again and presented the tray.
A palace official came forward to pick it up, handed it to Queen Mother Jiang, and asked if she wanted to open it.
Xiao Mu then said: "The previous emperor was ignorant and incompetent. When the army came to the city, he was still in the wine pool and the meat forest, unable to extricate himself."
"When our ancestors entered the palace, they were the first to have sex with the former emperor, but the royal seal of the country was left outside."
"After being lost for so many years, our ancestors found more than a dozen of them one after another. Now there are only four left."
"My grandson heard the news after he had been gone for many days. He didn't dare to tell the truth, so he disappeared."
"Now that I have found an imperial seal and brought it back to the court, it proves that I, Dali, am the destiny of my destiny."
Xiao Mu's words had already been drafted by Lao Zai. As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his eyes again to look at everyone's expressions.
Empress Dowager Jiang was originally leaning against her body, holding the beeswax beads in her hand and turning them around. After hearing this, she immediately sat upright.
He said anxiously: "Is it really the imperial seal?"
Before Xiao Mu could speak and waved, the palace attendant holding the red lacquer tray immediately stepped forward, bent down, and held the tray above his head.
The expressions of the princes sitting there also changed drastically. They first turned their attention to Xiao Mu, and then stretched their necks to find out what was in the tray.
The ancestors of the Dali Dynasty were just grasshoppers. They relied on their brute strength and luck to make friends with heroes from all walks of life and rebelled against the previous dynasty.
From the barren countryside, they entered the capital, entered the imperial palace, and occupied half of the country.
The previous emperor was a fatuous and lustful person. Before his death, he held a banquet with his beloved concubine. He was so drunk that his face turned red and his ears were red. The army broke into the house and he was still drunk.
There is no pain when you die.
But such a mediocre and useless person left Dali with a huge problem.
Xu Shi knew that he could not escape. Before the army entered the city, he had more than a dozen royal seals and jade seals taken out of the palace.
As soon as this thing left the palace, it dispersed north and south across the Yangtze River, making the founding emperor of Dali, who had won the battle, fuming with anxiety.
Without the imperial seal, he could not sit on the throne openly and openly even if he killed all the members of that dog emperor's lineage.
Later, when there was really no other way, the military advisor around him came up with an idea to make a fake one and ascend the throne first.
This is how the ancestor of Dali later ascended to the throne.
From the time when this ancestor ascended the throne to his death, which lasted for twenty years, he recovered 10 imperial seals.
Later, his descendants and descendants never gave up the search. It took more than a hundred years to find all the imperial seals.
So far, there are four left.
This matter is not a secret among the royal family, but because the four imperial seals currently floating outside are not important, no one takes it to heart.
But Empress Dowager Jiang was different. Given her age and having been the empress dowager for so many years, she knew that the jade seal in Emperor Chengxing's hand was just carved by the ancestor himself.
If we really want to count it out, the Dali Dynasty cannot be considered as destiny.
This time Xiao Mu said that he had brought back the royal seal, and she was a little excited. If it was the long-lost jade seal, then there would be much less obstacles for her to become a female emperor.
When the bright red silk was lifted, a long seal with some age was placed on it.
But it's not a jade seal.
Several brothers of the Xiao family were so energetic that they were blocked by the brilliance of the royal seal, and suddenly they even looked at Xiao Mu with wrong expressions.
Xiao Wei, who had been watching the changes quietly, looked livid as he never expected to sing such a song.
If he had not received reliable information that Xiao Mu was bedridden and was about to die soon, he would definitely not have encouraged Xiao Yang to make a fuss in front of Empress Dowager Jiang.
Queen Mother Jiang could give up a chess piece that was of little use, but she would protect a chess piece that followed her wishes.
Xiao Mu did not want to die, and he also presented Dali with the royal seal that had been lost for many years. Even if something happened for a moment, Queen Mother Jiang would not do anything to him.
Xiao Weixing's step can be said to be a failure of a chicken but a handful of rice.
Although what Xiao Mu presented was not the Imperial Seal, which made her a little disappointed, the imperial seal alone dispelled all the suspicions in her mind.
Putting down the beeswax beads in his hand, he stretched out his hand to hold the royal seal in his hand and looked at it carefully, his face became more and more smiley.
"Okay, okay..." I said three good words in a row.
The cheerful laughter echoed in the hall.
Although Xiao Yang was a senior, he was extremely simple. When he saw the thing in Empress Dowager Jiang's hand, her eyes almost popped out.
Suddenly she stopped sarcastic towards Xiao Mu. She still couldn't see clearly from where she was sitting. She walked a few steps to Empress Dowager Jiang and said, "Royal grandmother, A Yang hasn't seen the imperial seal yet. Can I, A Yang, see it?"
Can't you see it?"
Empress Dowager Jiang was in a very good mood, and did not care about Xiao Yang's rudeness. She stretched out her hand and handed it over. Seeing that he took it casually, she repeatedly warned: "Oh, hey, be careful, be careful, be careful."
Xiao Yang then responded, holding it carefully in his hand, looking left and right, and then threw it back to Queen Mother Jiang after a while.
He muttered: "I think it's just an ordinary thing. Apart from being older, there's nothing special about it."
Empress Dowager Jiang took the royal seal, handed it to the palace attendant, and ordered Haosheng to put it away. Then she said: "You kid, what do you know?"
"Can this imperial seal be the same as those ordinary things out there?"
Xiao Yang really didn't know how to appreciate this thing. He just felt that the quality of this royal seal was worse than the jade crown on his head, so he wouldn't even look down upon it if it was given to him.
However, seeing Empress Dowager Jiang so happy, she immediately did not dare to say anything disheartening. She just laughed and said, "My grandma is very knowledgeable, but my grandson is only a little kid."
He flattered me and said, "My grandson has gained a lot of knowledge today thanks to the blessing of the imperial grandmother."
Empress Dowager Jiang laughed loudly and nodded his head: "You are not doing it thanks to the Ai family, but because of your eldest brother."
"Yes, yes, that's what the Imperial Grandmother said." Xiao Yang responded repeatedly: "Not only is it the blessing of the eldest brother, but also the blessing of the Imperial Grandmother."
The cold atmosphere in the hall was suppressed by the words spoken by the two of them, as if they were deeply in love with each other.
Seeing that Xiao Mu had passed the test, he took a deep breath and suddenly felt his head blacking out, making him feel dizzy and unable to stand.
With his nails dug into his palms, Xiao Mu quietly took a silver needle from his sleeve pocket and inserted it into the acupoint specified by Song Qinghuan.
