"Dad, are you there?" Su Qing knocked on Su Changyun's door because the disaster situation outside had stabilized.
Su Changyun has been either wandering around the house recently, or going out of the city to train soldiers, or taking Wen Hai shopping.
"Qing'er, come in quickly, dad has something for you." Su Changyun pulled Su Qing into the room and quickly closed the door.
Su Changyun mysteriously pulled Su Qing to the table. He took out a big red square box from the pear wood cabinet on the side, handed it to Su Qing, and motioned for her to open the box.
Su Qing was a little puzzled by Su Changyun's behavior. When she opened the box, she immediately understood his intention.
In addition to a bracelet, there is also a map in the box.
Su Qing picked up the bracelet and observed it carefully. This bracelet was very similar to the one in her hand, except that this one was sapphire blue.
There is also the sheepskin map, which seems to be a treasure map. The relationship between the bracelet and the Dragon Secret is also marked on the back.
There are five bracelets in total, symbolizing metal, wood, water, fire and earth. After collecting the bracelets, reach the designated location on the night of the red moon and put them into the designated crystal pillars, and a map of the underground palace will appear.
You can find the location of Dragon Secret by following the underground palace map.
"Qing'er, I feel really guilty for leaving you for so many years. Now that I see you taking good care of your two young brothers, I feel proud and relieved."
Su Changyun paused and continued: "Now that you are engaged to the third prince, dad has nothing to give you, except this bracelet."
Su Changyun was a little helpless. He was such a majestic protector of the country that he couldn't even afford his daughter's dowry. He was really ashamed.
"Dad, don't say that, this dowry is already very expensive." Su Qing hurriedly comforted him.
Su Changyun is the protector of the country and stays at the border all year round. The war between the Ming Kingdom and the Donglan Kingdom in the past ten years has made him unable to escape.
Because of this war, the Ming Dynasty's treasury was empty, and very little military pay was allocated to the army every year. Su Changyun also used his own money to fill the shortage in military pay.
She only found out about these matters after she sent someone to investigate.
If she had known four years ago that Su Changyun was still alive and had become the Protector of the Country, she would have given her money to buy food and grass, or perhaps he would have triumphed long ago.
Now that Su Changyun gave her the bracelet, it was equivalent to supporting her in finding the Dragon Secret, which also meant that he was on Bailiyu's side and wanted to help Bailiyu ascend to the throne.
"Dad, this is the letter Mom asked me to give to you." Su Qing handed the letter to Su Changyun and left.
This was Aunt Tian's last letter. She could imagine how uncomfortable he felt after reading it, but what he needed now was space to be alone.
Maybe as his daughter, she should stay and comfort him, but as a father, he will show his strong side in front of his children no matter how difficult it is.
But Su Qing believes that he is a living person, and he also needs a space to vent. He should not hold back his grief because of his identity as a father.
So that's why she left.
…
Su Qing returned to her room, took off the two largest agates from the two bracelets, and then took out the thinnest and hardest copper wire from the dressing drawer to string the agates together to make bracelets.
Finally, wrap the silkworm silver thread around the outside of the copper wire, then wrap it at the end, and then call it a day.
Because she usually makes small jewelry by herself in her free time, she always has copper wire and silk thread ready.
As for why she took off the agate from the bracelet? That's because the agate is the most critical and useful. She has observed that there is a very strange pattern in the agate.
The other accessories on the bracelet are all made of gemstones, have no texture, and are of no use at all.
There were also various kinds of agate stones in her dressing drawer. She found two pieces of similar color and size, and also had textures, and set them on her bracelet.
Then she put away the bracelet. She planned to take these two fakes to Bai Liyu tomorrow and use his hand to throw them away.
This way she can stay out of it, while they snatch their bracelets, and she can live her own life.
People in the world would hide treasures when they get them, but not her.
No one would have thought that the real agate was in her hand and she wore it on her wrist openly.
