When Song Jiujiu saw the wooden box, she had a bad feeling in her heart.
The scene before her eyes changed, and she saw the old emperor ordering his men to smash open the wooden box. Upon seeing what was inside, the old emperor was furious and directly ordered that all the people in Prince Kang's mansion be arrested.
After this, the Kangwang Mansion was charged with a series of inexplicable crimes, and finally the old emperor ordered the execution of the entire Kangwang Mansion.
In the dream, they foresaw that their family would end up in the same situation as in their previous life...
Song Jiujiu woke up with a start and opened her eyes.
My heart was still pounding and I was sweating all over.
She raised her little hand and wiped her forehead, which was covered in sweat.
Her butt was still hot, it looked like she had wet the bed.
[What a realistic prophetic dream. So will our whole family really be ordered to be executed by the old emperor because of that wooden box?
What on earth is in that box? It’s so scary!
So if we just dig out that wooden box and throw it away, we should be able to avoid the execution of the entire family this time, right?
But how can I let my parents know that there is a wooden box buried under that tree that could kill our entire family?
Song Jiujiu was extremely anxious, but didn't know what to do.
If she could crawl now, she would crawl to dig out the wooden box!
When he woke up in a daze, he heard his daughter's voice. Ye Peizhu was so scared by the voice that her eyelids twitched when she woke up.
Someone buried something in Prince Kang’s mansion?
Because that thing was dug out by the old emperor, the old emperor ordered the execution of the entire Kangwang family?!
Ye Peizhu felt a chill on his back and broke out in a cold sweat.
She quickly got up and went to the crib, as if it was just a normal thing for her to get up in the middle of the night to see if her daughter had wet the bed.
"Woooooa ...
Song Jiujiu called out twice.
[My mother is awake! Otherwise, I'll try to cry and see if she can understand that I'm going to the bamboo forest.]
This is the only solution Song Jiujiu can think of now.
So she burst into tears, waking up her father and Qiuyun who was guarding the door.
King Kang sat up in a daze and saw that his wife was already coaxing his daughter, but it seemed to be of no use, so he also stood up to coax his daughter.
"What's wrong with Jiuer? Are you hungry?"
Qiu Yun pushed the door open, holding a candle. "Prince and Princess? What happened to the young lady? Do you need to call the palace doctor?"
[No need for a doctor, I'm not sick, I just want you to take me to the bamboo forest. Can you understand my cries? I want to get out!]
Song Jiujiu cried and pointed her little hands outside.
Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu looked at each other while listening to their daughter's inner thoughts.
"Qiuyun, there's no need to call the palace doctor. Just take the lantern and follow us out. Jiuer's little hand is pointing outside. I'm afraid she wants to go out."
As Ye Peizhu said this, she changed her daughter into clean clothes, wrapped her in a small quilt, held her in her arms, and wanted to go out.
But King Kang stopped her and put a cloak on her.
"It's cold outside, put it on first."
[Mom and Dad, let's go out! Let's go to the bamboo forest in Fifth Brother's backyard!]
Song Jiujiu was excited and tried hard to identify the direction to her fifth brother's yard, then pointed in the direction with her little arm.
Ye Peizhu was reluctant to let her daughter's little arms get cold outside, so she stuffed her daughter's arms into the quilt and said deliberately.
"Jiu'er, do you want to go to your fifth brother's yard? Then let's go over and take a look. Don't cry, please."
Song Jiujiu's eyes lit up.
My mother and I really are in sync! Yes, yes, yes, let's go to Fifth Brother! To the backyard! To the bamboo forest!
King Kang's family of three and Qiuyun, who was holding a lantern to light the way for them, came to the gate of Song Le'an's yard.
"Woooooooooooooooo!"
Song Jiujiu cried softly, pointing her little hand in the direction of the bamboo forest.
[Bamboo forest, bamboo forest! Daddy and mommy, let’s go to the bamboo forest!]
"Jiu'er, do you want to go to the bamboo forest? Madam, let's go over and take a look."
Prince Kang and his wife Ye Peizhu came to the dark bamboo forest in unison.
In the middle of the night, the quiet bamboo forest seemed a bit eerie.
"Jiu'er, what do you want to do in the bamboo forest?"
As Ye Peizhu asked, she recalled her daughter's thoughts, and her eyes fell accurately on a big tree beside the bamboo forest.
Jiuer said in her heart that the wooden box was buried under a big tree beside the bamboo forest.
And this big tree is the only tree in the bamboo forest.
This should be it.
Let me see. Yes, that's the tree! Daddy and Mommy, there's something buried under that tree! It's a wooden box!
We must dig out the wooden box and throw it away! Otherwise, when the old emperor sends people over, if they dig it out, our entire Kangwang family will be executed!
Song Jiujiu shouted in her heart, pointing her little hand at the roots of the big tree and yelling in baby language that she herself hardly understood.
King Kang walked to the big tree and squatted down.
"Something's wrong here. The soil is loose, unlike the compacted soil around it. It looks like someone has dug it up."
King Kang said this, stood up, picked up a branch, and started digging the soil.
Seeing this, Qiu Yun came over with a lantern and whispered, "Your Highness, let me dig the soil."
"No, you can just hold the lantern to light it. Madam, bring Jiuer over here and have a look. The little girl is crying so much, but she just wants to see her daddy digging in the dirt."
King Kang deliberately made a joke, and Song Jiujiu grinned.
"Daddy, it's a pity I can't speak yet, otherwise I could tell you directly that what we're digging up isn't just dirt, but the lives of everyone in Prince Kang's mansion!"
After digging a few times, King Kang felt that there was indeed something buried underneath.
He simply threw away the branch and started digging. Soon he dug out a black wooden box with a small lock from the pit!
[This is it! In my prophetic dream, the old emperor sent his guards to dig out this wooden box from here!]
When the old emperor saw what was in the wooden box, he was furious and accused our Kangwang Mansion of a bunch of false charges. He then ordered the execution of our entire family!
When Song Jiujiu saw the wooden box, she was so excited that she started shouting and yelling. She looked extremely excited.
King Kang filled the hole again with a serious expression and stood up with the wooden box in his hand.
Qiu Yun was surprised. "There's a box buried here?! Your Highness, could this be the Fifth Young Master's belongings? After all, this is considered the Fifth Young Master's backyard."
Ye Peizhu shook her head, her face not looking very good. "I don't know. Let's go back first. It's getting late."
The couple didn't say much, and Qiuyun also returned the same way she came, carrying the lantern in her arms.
Back at Qingzhu Courtyard, Ye Peizhu asked Qiuyun to rest, put her daughter back on the crib, and sat down at the table, staring at the black wooden box on the table with King Kang.
