As he spoke, he took the badge, pinched it hard with his hand, and the outer layer of gold fell off immediately.
"Everyone knows that Dongfang Ge, the crown prince of Shijin Kingdom, was responsible for the mining of a gold mine in his early years. He is now the richest man in the world. The badges in his mansion are all made of pure gold. So someone must have impersonated Dongfang Ge and wanted to pin the blame on him."
"The royal family, the struggle for the throne." There was a hint of confusion in Chang'an's eyes. "But where did this news leak from?"
Bei Mingxuan also had this doubt. "The Queen Mother and the Southern Emperor are old friends. Perhaps the Queen Mother sent a letter via flying eagle to inform the Southern Emperor of the wedding, and the Emperor is not unaware of it. But there is one thing: the Emperor is definitely unaware of the Qilin military talisman."
"What if your Queen Mother knew about the Qilin Military Talisman?" Nangong Rui said, "Or what if she knew that Chang'an was getting married, and the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom would make Chang'an the crown prince?
Prince Xuan also said that the two of them were old friends. Moreover, considering the relationship between Princess Qiuya and Xu Yitong, it is likely that the relationship between the Southern Emperor and the Queen Mother must be very close.
Otherwise, with the Queen Mother's current status, even if Chang'an were to get married, she wouldn't have to inform the Southern Emperor."
This is possible, Chang'an thought, when he and Bei Mingye got married in his previous life, no one came to his grandfather's place.
Only one month after the marriage, Nangong Rui came to see her and told her not to trust anyone easily.
Could it be that at that time, the Empress Dowager said something to her grandfather, so the Southern Emperor did not make himself the crown prince of the Southern Kingdom, nor did he give himself the Qilin military talisman?
"What are you thinking about?" Bei Mingxuan saw that Chang'an was a little absent-minded.
"I was just thinking, if the news about the Qilin Military Talisman was leaked from the Queen Mother, then the person who leaked the news must be the one closest to the Queen Mother. If not..."
"Those are the people around your grandfather." Bei Mingxuan continued.
"No!" Nangong Rui confirmed, "The news definitely did not leak from the Southern Kingdom's royal family. I guarantee this with my life."
Chang'an and Bei Mingxuan looked at each other, and they immediately had doubts in their hearts. Although they could not guarantee that it was someone close to the Queen Mother, it must be someone from the Shuzhou Kingdom's palace.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Many things aren't formed overnight." Chang'an looked at Nangong Rui. "Cousin, to be honest, if you're willing to take the throne of the Southern Kingdom, my grandfather wouldn't object."
"No! Don't do that. The person sitting in that position is really too careless. He works so hard and might even lose his life if he's not careful. It's not as real as having a beautiful wife on one side and a beautiful girl on the other."
"So, you're pushing me into a position where I could lose my life if I'm not careful?" Chang'an demanded. "And that Qilin military talisman, everyone knows it belongs to the Southern Kingdom's royal family. Yet, you're giving it to me in public today. Could it be that you're dissatisfied with me, Gu Chang'an, for living too long?"
"Haha." Nangong Rui smiled awkwardly, "Isn't this your grandfather's idea?
Chang'an, you don't know how hard I tried to stop him and give you the Qilin Military Talisman at this time, but who knew that he actually suspected me and had other intentions.
My little heart was frightened by him and it was trembling."
Chang An listened to Nangong Rui's shameless words, she stood up and left, "I don't want to bother with you."
"Hey! Don't go... Gu Changan, are you in a hurry to go back to the bridal chamber? But Prince Xuan is still here. If you want to... Ah!"
Before Nangong Rui could finish his words, Chang'an threw a piece of cloth at him to cover his mouth.
When he took the thing out of his mouth, he found it was a rag, "Gu Changan, you are amazing!"
Nangong Rui's voice sounded a little exasperated, but Bei Mingxuan could see clearly that there was no trace of annoyance on his face. Instead, he looked at Chang'an leaving with a very interesting look.
"It's different than before, isn't it?"
"Yes, ever since Changan grew up, I have never seen her true face after becoming an ice silkworm. I only know that she is very beautiful and has been a beauty since she was a child.
But I always felt that she was beautiful, but a little dull, and her actions and words were very methodical, not as interesting as now. Now she looks very good!"
Nangong Rui said, looking at him coldly, "Bei Mingxuan, if you betray Chang'an in this life, I, Nangong Rui, will definitely destroy you with all the strength of the country."
"You, shouldn't have such ability!" Bei Mingxuan threw down a sentence and turned away.
"...Okay, okay! The old saying is still true, people from the same family tend to be similar, huh!"
Bei Mingxuan walked out and found Chang'an waiting for him at the end of the corridor. "Are you cold?"
"Okay, where are you sleeping tonight?"
Bei Mingxuan answered the question irrelevantly, "Where did you learn the Drizzle Heart Technique?"
Chang'an imitated him and answered the question irrelevantly. "Now the Qilin Military Talisman is in my hands, just as it is in yours. Moreover, I am the heir apparent to Princess Yongping and the Southern Kingdom. Do you think your father would think that you are blocking the Crown Prince's path?"
"You..." Bei Mingxuan smiled, knowing that she was deliberately imitating him to answer irrelevant questions, and shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, I'll take you somewhere."
Chang An followed Bei Mingxuan all the way to an attic and looked at the three large characters on it, "Tingyu Pavilion?"
"This place was originally called the Reading Pavilion. One time, I was reading in the pavilion and it started raining outside. I thought the sound was pleasant, so I changed it to the Listening to the Rain Pavilion."
"Tingyu Pavilion is more artistic than Yueshu Tower."
"Let's go." Bei Mingxuan opened the door. "I don't know why, but I feel like you'll like this place. Am I right?"
As he said this, he turned around and looked at Chang'an beside him.
All I see are wedding silks fluttering and red candles blazing, "It's so red."
"Today, our wedding should be as red and lively as possible." Bei Mingxuan didn't need to explain, but he just wanted to talk to her at this moment. "We can just remove these tomorrow."
The top floor of the building within the building is extremely simple, with a pair of chairs, a table, and a square couch. It is nice, but I always feel that it is too lonely.
Thinking in his heart, Changan looked at Bei Mingxuan, "Do you feel lonely?"
Bei Mingxuan was stunned. He didn't expect the leader to say that suddenly.
"I remember the last time I heard your flute, I felt you were a lonely person. Looking at this place today, I have the same feeling."
Bei Mingxuan didn't speak immediately. He looked around with a smile on his face. When he looked away again, he said softly, "With you here, I think I won't be lonely in the future."
Changan knew what he meant and avoided his gaze, "Tingyu Pavilion, if you bring me here now, there is no rain to listen to."
Bei Mingxuan walked over to a landscape painting and moved it aside. It turned out to be a sword. "Do you recognize it?"
After taking a closer look, Changan confirmed, "I don't know him."
"This sword is the Drizzle Sword," Bei Mingxuan explained. "My master sent this sword to me many years ago. He said he only found the Drizzle Sword, but not the Drizzle Heart Technique."
