Chapter 562 Something that can kill Wei Changkong
"General Wei, what are you talking about?" Unexpectedly, Zi Yunlai's tone was obviously angry.
Wei Changkong was obviously stunned for a moment. Since he knew Zi Yunlai, he had almost never seen Zi Yunlai get angry, let alone get angry at him.
He subconsciously glanced at Zi Tong and saw that Zi Tong was also a little surprised.
"Your Majesty, is there any problem with what I said?" Wei Changkong became more respectful, even a little cautious.
Although he is in power now, Zi Yunlai's throne is still not something he can shake at will. If he really angers Zi Yunlai, he is afraid that he will suffer the consequences.
"You just said it was unlucky, saying that the relics of my Dongchu soldiers were unlucky for me. What do you mean?" Zi Yunlai's voice rose a few notches.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have no other intentions. I just..." Wei Changkong quickly knelt down.
"Lead the way!" Zi Yunlai ordered again.
Wei Changkong was struggling violently in his heart. He knew better than anyone what was in the secret room. Did he really want to take Zi Yunlai and Zi Tong with him?
At this time, another servant came running over with a very worried look on his face. He looked at Wei Changkong kneeling there in shock, not knowing whether he should go forward or not.
"What's wrong again?" Wei Changkong asked in a low voice, suppressing his anger.
"General, the housekeeper said... you'd better go over and take a look right away." The servant said tremblingly.
Wei Changkong narrowed his eyes. Could it be that... Bai Yu'an and the others found something else?
No, he can't delay!
He had no choice but to stand up and respectfully said to Zi Yunlai and Zi Tong, "Your Majesty, Prince, please follow me."
He strode ahead, with Zi Yunlai and Zi Tong following behind.
Zi Tong silently gave Zi Yunlai a thumbs up. It was obvious that his father was very domineering today.
Soon, they arrived at the door of the so-called secret room, and the sound of arguing could be heard from inside.
"You can't go in. This is where the tablets of the general's family are enshrined. No one can go in unless the general comes in person." It was the voice of the butler Li Chen.
"Master State Master, High Priest," Wei Changkong's expression changed as he realized where they were trying to enter. He immediately strode in to stop them. "Are you going too far?"
He stepped forward and personally blocked the doorway. "My housekeeper has made it very clear that this place is off-limits. Do you still insist on going in and disturbing the spirits of my ancestors?"
At this time, Zi Yunlai and Zi Tong also entered the secret room and looked around.
This secret room is very large. At a glance, the walls are full of holes of various sizes, and in the holes are placed all kinds of treasures, many of which cannot even be seen in the imperial palace.
"Greetings, Your Majesty, Crown Prince," Bai Yu'an immediately stepped forward and greeted respectfully, "I'm lucky to have found this secret room. It's truly an eye-opener for us."
As he spoke, he touched the little guy's head beside his leg.
The reason they were able to find this place was certainly not due to luck, but because Li Suining asked Xingxing and saw the scene of the commotion in the general's mansion and the moving of those treasures, and also saw that Wei Changkong hid the key in a book in the study.
Moreover, Li Suining also saw that there was another secret room further inside the secret room. However, no one knew what was inside. Wei Changkong was very careful and rarely went in, and he would never allow anyone to get close.
"Indeed, not to mention the Imperial Master, even I, the Emperor of Dongchu, was amazed by it," Zi Yunlai casually picked up a bottle, "I have a jade bottle like this in my storehouse, but it's much smaller than this one."
"Your Majesty, this was the private collection of a former lieutenant general. After his death, his family entrusted this treasure to me for safekeeping," Wei Changkong paused, then continued with a pained expression, "If Your Majesty likes it, you may take it back to the palace."
"Forget it. A gentleman doesn't steal someone else's beauty. Since this is a gift left by the deceased to the general, the general should keep it for his own enjoyment." Zi Yunlai put the item back where it belonged, then looked at Bai Yu'an and deliberately asked, "How is it? Have you chosen the Imperial Master and the High Priest?"
"Not yet. However, we have discovered another secret room, but the general seems to be going back on his original promise and refuses to let us in."
Bai Yu'an said in a joking tone.
Wei Changkong gritted his teeth silently and quickly said with absolute certainty, "That's my Wei family's ancestral hall. Today, even if the emperor wants to punish me, I will never allow any outsider to set foot in the ancestral hall."
At this point, Bai Yu'an and Zi Yunlai both knew that there might even be something in there that could kill Wei Changkong, so there was no way they could be allowed in.
They had no choice but to give up.
"Since General Wei has said so, it would be rude of us to insist on going in."
Bai Yu'an looked at Fuxing and said, "High Priest, let's each choose one here."
He looked at the little Suining beside him again, "Princess Suining, you can choose my piece."
"Okay, second brother, leave it to me." Li Suining immediately ran to choose things.
Bai Yu'an deliberately asked Wei Changkong, "General Wei, you wouldn't mind if I let Princess Suining choose for me, right?"
"Of course, this is the freedom of the State Master." Wei Changkong breathed a sigh of relief. Letting a five-year-old child choose was simply the best option. What could a five-year-old child recognize?
He asked someone to bring a chair and sat with Zi Yunlai and Zi Tong, waiting for them to finish choosing their treasures.
Fuxing came back first, holding a purple box in her hand. The patterns on the surface of the box were complicated and it was obvious that the things inside were of great value.
Wei Changkong only took a glance and his eyes widened in shock. He didn't expect that among so many things, all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, the high priest would actually choose this.
"What is it?" Zi Yunlai asked curiously.
Bai Yu'an took the box, opened it and took a look, then said nonchalantly, "It looks like a page of paper, it doesn't look useful."
As he handed the box to Zi Yunlai, he smiled and said to Wei Changkong, "General Wei, are you relieved? The things the high priest picked don't seem to be worth much."
Wei Changkong gnashed his teeth in hatred, he knew that Zi Yunlai would recognize this thing.
"General Wei, this couldn't be... the legendary oracle, could it?"
Bai Yu'an deliberately asked curiously, "Oracle? What is it?"
"We have a legend in Dongchu that the founding emperor of Dongchu became a god after his death and left behind an edict. Anyone who received this edict..."
Zi Yunlai deliberately glanced at Wei Changkong, "The person who received this decree is the Emperor of Dong Chu recognized by him."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have never opened this box, and I don't know if it is an oracle. If it is..." Wei Changkong knelt down, "Your Majesty, please take this item back and return it to its rightful owner."
