Chapter 344 Longevity Lock
"So that's how it is"
Sang Luo heard this, and he immediately felt a little sympathy for Ling Fengxun.
It seems that the princess of the Western Regions did not have a good life after coming to Beiling Kingdom. Even the child she gave birth to must have lived a hard life that ordinary people could not imagine when he was young
. He lowered his head and thought for a moment.
"Although my mother and I do not know where the key is, we know the shape of the key. I can"
He looked at his painful arm and gritted his teeth: "Draw it for you!"
Ling Fengxun raised his eyes with a calm expression, looked at Sang Luo and nodded.
An Yunxi coughed: "Ahem, since the third prince said so, prepare the drawing paper." After all,
this time it is a detailed job, and description alone is useless.
Sang Luo had no choice but to do it himself.
His arm had been reattached, it was just dislocated, not immobile.
The other two girls were now able to move freely, but he was the only one who still had his arm hanging around his neck.
Quite coquettish!
Sang Luo took the pen and ink, and felt pain in his shoulder whenever he moved.
A thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his clean white face.
But even so, Sang Luo endured the pain and drew the shape of the key.
"Please have a look, Your Majesty."
The painting was of a longevity lock.
Although there were only a few lines, it was full of charm. A unicorn sat on the lock, with a dignified look and shining scales, as if a divine beast had descended. Three or two peach blossoms bloomed quietly, and auspicious cloud patterns were engraved on them in a very spiritual way.
When Ling Fengxun saw the shape and pattern of the key, he seemed to remember something, and then turned around and left the study, and no one knew where he went.
No one followed him, and even An Yunxi was not very curious.
Not long after, Ling Fengxun came over with a key exactly like the one in the painting.
It was a longevity lock made of pure gold and had a very beautiful style.
He opened the back of the longevity lock, and it was hollow inside. Then a strange-shaped object that looked like a pendant fell out from it. No
matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a key .
An Yunxi looked at Ling Fengxun, and saw that Ling Fengxun put the object in his hand into the keyhole without saying a word. Only a click was heard, and the sound of the mechanism turning came from the box.
That was the sound of a lock being opened.
Everything was done with great precision.
Sang Luo stood there, feeling a little relieved when he saw that the longevity lock he had drawn was found.
Fortunately, his mother had drawn it for him, otherwise, it would be really hard to find the key.
An Yunxi was also attracted by the things in the box.
In order to prevent the items in the box from being seen by others, Ying Feng went forward and escorted Sang Luo out of the room, and took away the rest of the guards.
In the study, only An Yunxi and Ling Fengxun were left.
Ling Fengxun naturally did not intend to hide this from her, and even took her hand to let her get closer to him.
"Xi'er, this longevity lock can be said to be one of the few personal belongings my mother left me. I wore it all the time when I was a child. Later, when I grew up, I put it away carefully."
An Yunxi listened to Ling Fengxun patiently.
She held Ling Fengxun's hand with some heartache.
She lost her mother at a young age and was raised by the Queen Mother. She couldn't imagine how Ling Fengxun survived all those years in this huge palace.
Ling Fengxun was like a person without parental love. The late emperor only valued his ability because he had foreign blood. He was bullied since childhood and was the one who paid the most to win the throne, but the throne he got ended up in the hands of others.
Just because he has no identity or background, even his mother's country was destroyed
. For Ling Fengxun, Beiling is not his real home. He even has the hatred of losing his country. Even if the living people in the Western Regions see him, they will despise him as a person with mixed blood of two countries.
Ling Fengxun fell into reminiscence, and then took out the things in the opened box one by one.
The top one is the imperial seal of the Western Regions.
The seal is exquisitely crafted, with strange patterns carved on it. The whole jade body is unique. No matter from which angle you look at it, you can see the beauty hidden in it. It
feels cool and warm to the touch, and every pattern seems to hide the traces left by the years.
An Yunxi's heart shuddered. She never thought that such an important thing would be found in this box.
You know, the jade seal represents the power of a country, and it may even contain the biggest secret of the entire country. She didn't expect it to be placed in this box.
Ling Fengxun continued to pick up the things below the jade seal.
A letter, a dagger, and a drawing.
There are not many things.
But each one is a priceless treasure.
Ling Fengxun picked up the letter. There was beautiful handwriting on it. Ling Fengxun recognized the words left by his mother and knew that it was his mother's handwriting.
The letter unfolded:
In this chaotic world, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the country is no longer there. The glory of the past is like a dream and fleeting.
The jade seal of the country is a symbol of the country and a trust of power.
I couldn't bear to see it fall into the hands of thieves, so I hid it in a secret place.
Now I entrust you with a letter, hoping that you will get it and use it to restore my country.
Although I am dead, my soul is immortal. I will watch over you day and night, hoping that you will achieve great things.
If there is an afterlife, I would like to enjoy the prosperity of the prosperous times with you
. The last words of the Princess of the Western Regions, Mo Lan .
An Yunxi's eyes flickered for a moment. She only now knew the name of the prince's mother.
The former noble concubine who was stunning at the time.
Mo Lan.
The name is extremely beautiful, just like her.
An Yunxi didn't say anything, but quietly looked at the prince's profile, but she couldn't see any unusual emotions on his face.
She could only see the emotional fluctuations in his heart from his eyes.
Obviously, these words moved Ling Fengxun's heart.
However, he was not born in the Western Regions. When he was born, the Western Regions had already been destroyed, and he had no feelings for this country.
So, after reading it, he just silently stuffed the letter back, and then continued to look at other things.
The drawing was very large.
On it was a very complete map of the Western Regions.
The entire map contained carefully drawn mountains and rivers, and each place was marked very accurately.
Then, a few very conspicuous reds caught the attention of the two.
Ling Fengyan touched it with his fingers, and then said: "These marked red areas should be the backup plan left by the Western Regions for restoring the country."
An Yunxi asked subconsciously.
"Does the prince want to restore the country?"
Hearing An Yunxi's words, Ling Fengyan couldn't help but chuckle, and then raised his hand to scratch her small and delicate nose.
"Restore what country? Destroy your own country and rebuild a Western Region?"
An Yunxi: ""
She was so immersed in her emotions just now that she forgot
