Chapter 804 What’s wrong?

Chapter 804 What’s wrong?

Ashiger suddenly stood up and walked over, dragging her out of bed.

"What are you doing?"

Nan Yan was terrified. She was pregnant, and the man was rude and had no intention of making her feel comfortable. She staggered all the way to the table.

"Open this box for me!"

Nan Yan fell down and her stomach sank slightly.

She frowned and looked at the box on the table.

Then he asked, "You, what do you want to do by stealing this box and opening it?"

"Don't worry about it. Open this box for me."

"Do you think the imperial seal is in here?"

"Not that I thought."

Ashige said: "The jade seal must be in here!"

Nan Yan frowned. Even Zhu Feng didn't know about this. If he knew, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble in the first place and would not have fought with Ashige in Beiping. He could have directly found a way to open the box and obtain the jade seal of the Dang Kingdom. There would have been chaos in the Dang Kingdom.

Moreover, the most important thing is——

How could the jade seal of the Kingdom of Dian appear in the box left by Emperor Gao?

Nan Yan said, "Why do you say that? What evidence do you have?"

Ashige sneered and said, "Why do you think Arslan keeps coming to your Yan Country? Does he really have that much free time to make friends with you?"

“…”

Nan Yan frowned.

Of course she knew that Arslan's purpose for his last diplomatic mission to Yan State was very complicated. In addition to achieving temporary peace, his main purpose was to find the imperial seal.

That's why he ran to the Si family before entering the palace.

Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "You mean, he came here this time to look for the jade seal?"

"certainly."

Ashige said coldly, "To obtain the Jade Seal, to obtain the Throne. He simply wants to find the Jade Seal and help Monk consolidate his power. As the king, I will not let them do so easily. Their every move is under my surveillance."

“…”

"A few days ago, they have been trying to get information from Yan State, specifically the whereabouts of the Imperial Seal."

“…”

"So, as soon as he got the news, he headed south, pretending to be on a diplomatic mission."

Nan Yan's heart sank when she heard this.

A few days ago, Monk and Arslan have been inquiring about news from Yan Country?

Just to inquire about the news of the imperial seal?

But, what's wrong?

Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "But this box was left behind by our Yan Kingdom's Emperor Gao. How could he possibly have the jade seal of your Neng Kingdom?"

"snort."

Ashige said, "It was because I heard that this building contained things left behind by your Emperor Gao that I guessed that the imperial seal was inside."

“…”

"We originally suspected that the disappearance of the imperial seal was related to your Emperor Gao."

Nan Yan opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Why?"

Axige said, "If the imperial seal had not suddenly disappeared, the decree of Kulun City could not be issued, resulting in the army in Peking being unable to respond in time. Your Emperor Gao would not have won so easily!"

“…”

Nan Yan was stunned for a moment.

After thinking about it again, I understood.

What she was talking about was probably the time when Emperor Gao fought against the Kingdom of Dian and eventually drove all the Dian troops that invaded the Central Plains out of the Central Plains and finally established his own country.

It turns out that there was such an episode in the middle.

It was the disappearance of the jade seal of the State of Dian that led to their final defeat.

Although the situation was critical at this time and she might be in danger of losing her life, Nan Yan still couldn't help but sigh in her heart - God help the Great Yan Dynasty!

Sometimes, the success of a big thing may be the result of countless small things and countless coincidences.

The disappearance of the jade seal of the State of Dian ultimately led to the complete failure of the State of Dian.

And Emperor Gao's complete victory.

but--

So, was the imperial seal really taken away by Emperor Gao?

But if he really took it, why did he put it in a small building in a palace, and didn't tell anyone - obviously Zhu Feng didn't know, if he knew, he would have taken it away long ago.

In particular, the guards of the palace were just ordinary guards, and the guards around the small building were not strict either.

If it really is the jade seal of the Neng Kingdom, it would be impossible to place it like this.

Nan Yan frowned and looked at the box.

She still couldn't believe that the jade seal of the Neng Kingdom would appear in the box left by Emperor Gao, and that it was not handed over to his heir, but was placed in the Wu family's Jinlou Villa.

This is so weird.

Seeing her frown, Arslan waved his hand coldly and said, "I don't want to waste time talking to you now. Open this box for me right now!"

Nan Yan looked up at him and said, "If I can't even open it with you, what else can I do?"

"Aren't you the imperial concubine of Yan Country?"

Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "I am still the Princess of Nanming County."

“…”

Upon hearing her identity as a Dian countryman, Ashige frowned.

Nan Yan said, "The entire Yan Nation is suspicious of my identity as a Neng Nation person. If the jade seal is really in this box, how could they possibly give me the key to open it?"

Having said this, she paused.

Because, subconsciously, I thought of the key.

He once fished out a key from the bottom of the lake in the palace, and it was very similar to the key to the cabinet lock that Emperor Gao had made to store the Yan Kingdom's jade seal.

This lock...

No wonder she felt familiar when she saw it with Zhu Feng that day, but because she didn't think much about it at the time, she didn't associate it with the key.

Now then—

Because the room was dimly lit, Ashige didn't notice the change in her expression. He just stared at her with a frown and said, "Don't think that just because you are the Princess of Nanming County, I will be cautious."

“…”

"Humph, I will kill anyone who stands in my way, even if they are my brothers!"

Nan Yan's heart trembled when she heard this.

Of course she knew that when a person was caught up in the desire for power, his eyes would be blinded, and loyalty, filial piety, and kindness would be worthless to him.

The coldness made her shiver slightly.

She subconsciously looked outside.

The door was open, and I could see that it was pitch black outside, not yet dawn.

Outside the door was a spacious courtyard with seven or eight dark figures standing in it.

It seems that in order to avoid being discovered, Ashige did not bring many people with him when he went south into the territory of Yan State this time, and he traveled light.

However, in this case, the people he brought with him were probably not ordinary people.

At this time, the rat-like man said, "Your Highness, if we can't open it, why don't we take it back and let the Imperial Master think of a solution."
