Chapter 427: Master Protector List

The jade slips recorded the major events of each year in the previous dynasty, which seemed a bit distant to Yue Fuli. Therefore, she flipped through it casually, put it down, and picked up another one.

Yue Fuli quickly flipped through most of the jade slips, finding them all filled with similar content, which made her feel bored. So, she walked directly to the end of the bookshelf and was about to flip through it when she heard Lou Chenfeng's call.

"Ali, come here quickly." Lou Chenfeng's voice was a little anxious, which made Yue Fuli very confused. However, she still walked over quickly.

"What's wrong?" Yue Fuli came up to Lou Chenfeng and asked with a smile, "What did you see?"

"Look at this, this should not be a family tree." Lou Chenfeng handed the jade slip in his hand to Yue Fuli. It was indeed not a family tree, but a list of protectors left by the royal family of the previous dynasty.

It turned out that the last emperor of the previous dynasty knew that the dynasty was doomed, so he hid the treasures first, and then handed his youngest son to a loyal subordinate and asked him to take him away.

Along with the little prince, there were also children from the families of some trusted ministers who left because they knew they might not survive and wanted to leave some incense for their families.

They also hoped that the little prince of the royal family would eventually be able to restore the country. If so, the children sent away would be his supporters, and would have the merit of following the emperor in the future, and their family would continue to prosper.

But restoring the country was not easy. Not to mention that the children were still young, even if the enemy had grown up, it would be useless without sufficient manpower. Moreover, by the time the children grew up, the new dynasty had been established and the people were living and working in peace. If war broke out again, it would not be certain whether the country could be restored, and the people would definitely suffer.

Therefore, the little prince at that time, Yue Danggui, did not plan to restore the country in the end, but planned to live an ordinary life.

He thought so and did so. But those who followed him were unwilling to do so. They followed Yue Danggui because they wanted to be promoted in the future. But Yue Danggui had no fighting spirit, which disappointed everyone.

Finally, they left Yue Danggui together and began to climb up through their own efforts, discarding their previous identities.

The jade slip ended here, but Yue Fuli learned that the people who had followed Yue Danggui away were surnamed Ye, Liu, and Zhou.

If Yue Fuli guessed correctly, then Prime Minister Ye should be a descendant of the Ye family, and the Liu family in the capital are descendants of the Liu family. And the Lord Zhou who was sent by the emperor to the border as a military supervisor was a descendant of the Zhou family.

Her father's death was most likely caused by those people. As for how much the emperor knew, only he could know after meeting him in person.

Lou Chenfeng also thought of this problem, so he looked at Yue Fuli and said, "Ali, do you think Master's death is related to those officials in the court?"

"Whether there's any connection or not, we'll know after we investigate. I'm planning to go to the border to find out the cause of my father's death."

"In that case, I'll go with you."

"You don't want the treasure here?"

"Yes, it doesn't conflict with going to the border with you. My master taught me a lesson. I didn't do anything for him when he was alive, but I can always help find out the cause of his death."

"Whatever you want." Yue Fuli didn't object when he said that. Since Lou Chenfeng wanted to go, then he could go, as long as he didn't cause any trouble for her.
