Not to mention that it was not her, the princess who had been out of favor since entering the mansion, but even Lu Changxin, who regarded Chen Yan as a brother, might not know it.
Shen Yan waited for a long time, but Lu Wan didn't speak again, so he knew that she didn't want to tell him clearly, so he just sighed in his heart, then shook his head and said, "Since you don't want to say it, I won't force you. I believe that one day, you will tell me everything about yourself."
Lu Wan smiled very falsely, "I don't understand what you are saying."
Shen Yan didn't expose her, but changed the subject and said, "Do you know why I am so angry today?"
When Lu Wan heard this, he became curious and followed Shen Yan's words and asked, "Why?"
Seeing Lu Wan's puzzled look, Chen Yan took Lu Wan's hand and put the pair of emerald green bracelets on her wrists. The green bracelets looked very beautiful against her fair skin, but Lu Wan frowned because she recognized that these bracelets were the ones the man had shown her before, and they seemed to have been taken out from some unknown tomb.
Seeing that Lu Wan didn't say anything, Shen Yan thought she was just afraid, so he comforted her and said, "Don't be afraid, this is my mother's thing, and it looks good on you."
Lu Wan was naturally not afraid of these things. She had dissected mummies countless times, so why would she be so afraid?
But after hearing what Shen Yan said, Lu Wan was stunned for a moment, then looked at his wrist, "You said, this is your mother's thing?"
"Um."
Shen Yan nodded, "The tomb that appeared because of the earth dragon turning over is the tomb of my mother."
There seemed to be some nostalgia in Shen Yan's expression, and more often than not, his angry eyes also carried a sense of nostalgia and tenderness that he had not noticed.
The time when his mother was still alive must have been the happiest time in his life.
"My father is a man who loves women very much. He and my mother knew each other when they were young. After he became the emperor, he wanted to make my mother the empress against all odds. But at that time, my maternal grandfather's family had already declined. Under the strong opposition of the court officials, my father had to make the second best choice and make my mother the imperial concubine. In order to compensate my mother, he searched all over the world and found a pair of jade rings for her. Then, I was born. But I didn't expect that my mother would only accompany us for two seven years."
When Shen Yan got here, he suddenly paused. Lu Wan turned around curiously, only to see that the eyes of this usually strong man were slightly wet.
"It was a winter night one year. For some reason, my mother suddenly fell ill. No matter how she was treated, she didn't get better. She died in less than a month. My mother's death was a great blow to my father. He refused to believe that the woman he loved the most would leave him first. He guarded my mother's coffin for seven days in a row, and then buried her with great ceremony as the queen. In order to prevent my mother from being disturbed after her death, no one except himself knew where my mother's real mausoleum was, until I saw the pair of jade rings again."
As he spoke, Shen Yan looked down at Lu Wan's wrist.
"It turns out that this pair of jade bracelets has such a story."
Lu Wan was also quite emotional. The saddest thing in the world is to be separated from the one you love.
There is not so much love that goes to the ends of the earth at this time. After death, no one knows anything, and only the living are left with sadness.
After thinking about it, Lu Wan wanted to take off the jade bracelet, "This thing is too important to you, I can't accept it."
But before she could take off the bracelet, Chen Yan turned around and said awkwardly, "It's for you, so just wear it."
Seeing that Lu Wan was still insisting, Shen Yan looked at him as if he was scolding a child, "I haven't finished speaking yet, what are you doing?"
Lu Wan knew clearly that Chen Yan had not finished talking yet, but he just didn't want the bracelet back.
Seeing this, Lu Wan had no choice but to put the bracelet on her wrist first and wait for a chance to return it to him later.
Seeing Lu Wan sitting down again, Shen Yan took the opportunity to speak, "Because my father loved my mother too much, he put most of the national treasury into the mausoleum as burial objects, leaving only this for me."
As he spoke, Shen Yan took off a jade pendant from his neck.
Lu Wan suddenly remembered that the Queen Mother seemed to want Ying to help her get it that day, saying that it was the key to the treasure of the previous dynasty.
Thinking of this, Lu Wan suddenly felt that the royal family of Nanxia seemed to be quite cruel. It was not enough for them to usurp the throne of the previous emperor, they also dug up the tombs of the other person's beloved ones.
It's no wonder that Shen Yan was so angry just now that he seemed to want to kill someone. Who wouldn't be anxious when they knew that their own mother's grave had been dug up?
But Lu Wan did figure out some things.
"So your father gave you this key in the hope that you would one day bring the treasure of the treasury back to light?"
Chen Yan shook his head, "My father once said that giving the national treasury to my mother to be buried with her was his last wish, but he was afraid that I would face difficulties after I took the throne that day. This key is for me to use in an emergency."
This is the pity of all parents in the world.
Lu Wan nodded and didn't say anything more about the imperial concubine, but Lu Wan couldn't help but remind Shen Yan of other things, "I know you are very angry and sad now, but did you hear what he said? He is not the only one who knows about the imperial concubine's tomb. If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, this matter will sooner or later reach the ears of the empress dowager."
The Queen Mother has been coveting this treasure house for a long time. If she knew this news, she would probably send people to the concubine's tomb overnight to empty out the treasures.
