Chapter 848: Phoenix Robe
"That's right!" The old general nodded and said, "You escort the Empress Dowager back to the capital. This is both a filial duty and the best time."
Xuanyuan Jin listened to the old general's words and remained silent.
He naturally understood what the old general meant by the best time.
It's nothing more than a step for him to return to Beijing.
However, he didn't need any steps.
Otherwise, when his father came, he would have returned to Beijing with his father.
"Grandpa, why are you so anxious?" Xuanyuan Jin asked.
The old general looked at Xuanyuan Jin and said solemnly, "Jin'er, do you know what the jade seal that Fu Ya found today is?"
Xuanyuan Jin thought of the phoenix carved on the jade seal and the four words "Mandate from Heaven" read out by Tang Bao.
"It should be a phoenix seal left behind from some dynasty." Xuanyuan Jin said.
"Yes and no," said the old general.
"What do you mean? Jin'er doesn't understand." Xuanyuan Jin said.
The old general stood in his study, looking towards the capital, and said in a distant voice, "If Grandpa is not mistaken, then this should be the real Phoenix Seal."
"The real Phoenix Seal?" Xuanyuan Jin was a little puzzled.
Are there fake Phoenix Seals?
"Yes! A genuine Phoenix Seal!" The old general nodded and said, "It's made of the same material as the Jade Seal, and may even have been cut from the same piece of jade. I don't know why it was lost."
"Grandpa, why are you so sure?" Xuanyuan Jin asked.
The old general looked at Xuanyuan Jin, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes.
If my grandson was still the current crown prince, why would he ask this question?
"You're young, so you might not have seen the Jade Seal. The reason it's been passed down for thousands of years and is the emperor's only credential is because the white jade it's carved from is of a unique quality..."
"It is said that it was bestowed by the gods during the ancient times as proof of the emperor's status on earth. Only the emperor who possesses the jade seal is recognized by the gods. Otherwise, it is not legitimate and anyone can attack it..."
What the old general said was a legend that had been passed down, and it did not mention the Phoenix Seal.
Unlike the Empress Dowager, she saw it in a Buddhist scripture.
The classics not only mention the jade seal, but also the phoenix seal that matches it.
However, the old general was not an ordinary person after all. Just by taking a look at the material of the Phoenix Seal, he guessed most of it.
"The phoenix seals used by your mother today, as well as those used by empresses of past dynasties, are mostly gold seals, and each has its own characteristics. They are not passed down from generation to generation. I'm afraid they became like this after the real phoenix seal was lost." The old general said finally.
After listening to the old general's words, Xuanyuan Jin's mind raced and he quickly figured out the interests involved.
"Grandpa, do you want me to return to Beijing and build up my own power as soon as possible?" Xuanyuan Jin asked.
The old general sighed and said, "Originally, Grandpa just wanted you to live well, but I never thought that Fuya would have such great fortune."
The old general paused at this point, then added in a heavy tone, "Although the Empress Dowager took the Phoenix Seal, so many people witnessed this. I'm afraid it can be concealed for a while, but not forever. As long as the Phoenix Seal reappears, someone will definitely inquire about its origins. By then, there will inevitably be people who will use the banner of destiny to target Fu Ya..."
As the old general spoke, Xuanyuan Jin's expression became colder and colder.
He naturally knew that hiding in Daliushu Village would not be able to protect Tang Bao for the rest of her life.
After all, even the Bai family has started to set their sights on Tang Bao.
He was just thinking about going to Beijing with Tang Bao later.
When the time comes, he will take back everything that belongs to him!
He will use the power in his hands to protect the little girl for the rest of her life!
However, it now seems that there are benefits to arriving in Beijing earlier.
I can prepare things for the little girl earlier, so that she won't be bullied when she goes to the capital...
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Xuanyuan Jin's mind.
The old general was about to persuade him again when Xuanyuan Jin said firmly, "Grandpa, I will listen to you and escort Grandma to the capital!"
"Good!" The old general was very pleased.
At the same time, I feel that the burden on my shoulders has become heavier.
He knew very well that as a grandson, it would be fine if he never returned to Beijing.
As long as I return to Beijing, I will definitely fight for that position.
Otherwise, no matter which prince inherits the throne, there will be no room for his grandson.
I'm afraid it could be life-threatening, or even imprisonment...
The old general thought of this and took out a token from his pocket, handed it to Xuanyuan Jin, and said, "Please keep this token. I will give you a list later. If there is any emergency, just take the token and go find the people on the list for help..."
Xuanyuan Jin took the token and looked at it without refusing.
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Xuanyuan Jin bowed deeply to the old general.
He could naturally guess that the old general had his own power.
The old general patted Xuanyuan Jin on the shoulder and said, "Grandpa is old, and there is not much he can do to help you. You have to make your own way in the future. As for your mother, you are her only hope."
"I understand, Grandpa!" Xuanyuan Jin said solemnly, "Mother is the Empress of the Central Palace, yet she has suffered injustice for so many years. Don't worry, Grandpa, I will definitely clear Mother's name. Anyone who has harmed Mother will not be spared!"
Xuanyuan Jin's tone was filled with bloodthirsty cruelty when he finished speaking.
The old general looked at Xuanyuan Jin like this, and a trace of worry welled up in his eyes.
Are what I said today right... or wrong to my grandson?
The old general suddenly felt uncertain.
Tang Bao went home and counted the rewards she had received. Thinking that the title was given by the Empress Dowager after all, she thought about it, took the phoenix robe she had made for the Empress Dowager, and returned to the mansion.
She worked day and night to embroider this phoenix robe.
"Grandma, take a look, is it beautiful?"
Tang Bao took out the phoenix robe, looking very proud.
She is quite proud of her embroidery skills and naturally not modest.
Tang Bao used black Shu brocade with golden flying phoenix embroidered on it.
The entire phoenix robe is noble and dignified, and is extremely luxurious.
"Mm, it looks good..."
The Empress Dowager nodded happily.
This is Fu Ya's gift to herself.
The Empress Dowager looked at the phoenix robe with great fondness and reached out to touch the golden phoenix on it.
Then, his expression changed.
"Is this... Gu's Flying Needle?"
The Queen Mother was shocked.
No wonder this golden phoenix seems alive and lifelike.
It turns out that it was embroidered with Gu's flying needle!
The Empress Dowager naturally recognized Gu's flying needle.
Because in her early years, the phoenix robe she wore was embroidered with Gu's flying needle technique.
However, hasn’t Gu’s flying needle technique been lost?
As a result, the dragon robes and phoenix robes of recent years are not as luxurious as before.
