"Let's go, go back home right away." Shangguan Ziqi said coldly.
When the guards heard this, they immediately harnessed the carriage.
Several children were still in bed, and they were dressed and carried into the carriage.
Continue to sleep in the carriage.
We were in a hurry along the way and had to eat breakfast in the carriage.
It took less than an hour to enter the palace.
The horses were running so fast that they could hardly breathe.
I hurried into the mansion and saw that everything was fine.
"Prince, there was a fire in Qiyayuan last night." The chief butler reported it immediately upon seeing someone.
Come to Qiyayuan.
Yu Yu Zheng heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the extent of the burn. It was only a small burn, mainly in the outer room of their bedroom and the main hall.
The bedroom was still intact, which meant the fire was put out in time.
All her banknotes were in her bedroom.
If her banknotes were burned, it would be a huge loss.
The two of them looked around the Qiya Courtyard inside and out and found that the damage was not too serious and that it could be lived in after a little repair.
The windows of the outer room and the main hall were burned, and some of the furniture inside was also burned. The wood of the wall was relatively thick, so it was only slightly burnt.
There were traces of blood on the ground, indicating that there had been a fight.
"Crown Prince, Crown Princess." Chun Lei watched them finish looking inside and outside before coming forward to report.
Now Shangguan Ziqi has taken over the crown prince's seal from the prince, and now his subordinates have changed their tune.
And just at this time, the prince also came.
He heard his son coming and walked over from the yard.
"Father, what happened?" Shangguan Ziqi asked anxiously.
Uncle An Qi said something along the way, but because he was not on duty in the mansion last night and came directly from the military camp outside the city to find them, he didn't know much.
All I know is that there was a fire in the mansion.
"You left the palace yesterday and were discovered by the spies of Canglan Country. And you took so many secret guards with you, so they thought this was an opportunity.
Around the end of the Chou hour in the early morning, he sneaked into the palace quietly. After being discovered, he became even more aggressive. His target was Qiyayuan, and he just wanted to burn it down.
Moreover, none of the assassins were afraid of death, and would rather die than burn down the Qi Ya Institute. Each of them carried kerosene and lit the fire during the fight.
The prince did not come to the mansion last night, but went to the military camp.
By the time the king received the signal and rushed over, it was already too late.
The fire still burned the main hall and the outer room, and the painting also caught fire, and the iron box was also burned, but the iron box was burned to no avail, only the painting was gone. "The prince was annoyed.
The enemy would attack Prince Rong's Mansion at the first opportunity.
His Prince Rong's Mansion was always being watched by spies from the enemy country, making it difficult for them to defend themselves.
We conducted a city-wide search a few days ago, but they managed to get away with it.
Just now he went downstairs again to check again.
Now that the painting is gone, I wonder if Ziqi’s wife can still open the iron box.
Thinking of this, the prince wished he could tear the spy Canglan into pieces.
"How many people came in at once?" Shangguan Ziqi was also angry and his face was gloomy.
This is the place where you know about the iron boxes and portraits, and you come here specifically to burn these two things.
"Ten people, all were killed."
Those people came here with the determination to die, just to achieve their goal.
"Father, where is the iron box?" Yu Yu Zheng asked after listening to what they said.
"The courtyard."
As soon as the fire was put out, the secret guard delivered the iron box to the courtyard.
"Let's go and take a look."
Yu Yuzheng attached great importance to the iron box. She now wished she could open it immediately and make a bomb to destroy every blade of grass in Canglan Country.
Yu Zheng ran to the courtyard and didn't even have time to take care of the children.
As soon as I entered, I saw the iron box placed neatly on the wooden table in the main hall of the courtyard.
But after the fire, the red knee on the red plum branch in front was gone, it was burned.
The blooming red plums have lost their previous brightness and charm.
Next to the table was the portrait that had been burned to the point of leaving only the remains of a corpse. More than half of it was gone, leaving only the two heads of the upper body.
The lower half was completely gone, leaving only a scroll that was burned black.
Yu Zheng picked up the scroll.
This scroll is actually made of iron. Usually it is made of wood, but this one is made of iron, contrary to the norm.
It was a tube, not solid, so she didn't feel how heavy it was in her hand.
When she saw this painting before, both ends of the axis were sealed with paper. Now, after the fire, the sealing paper is gone, and she can see the other end from this end.
Yu Zheng actually picked up the axis and put it on his eyes.
Squint one eye and focus the other eye on the shaft hole.
Turning around again and looking outside the hall, he saw Shangguan Ziqi and the prince walking in.
As soon as the two men walked out of her sight, a beam of light shone into her eyes through the iron tube.
What did she see?
It wasn't very clear, so she walked a few steps out of the hall and to the door, where the light was better.
She saw it.
There are words on the wall of the iron tube. Just on the other side of my eyes.
Immediately change the direction and squint again.
See clearly.
HONGMEI.
It is the pinyin of the two words "Hongmei" in capital letters.
She guessed this immediately, because the maiden name of the ancestor's princess was Hongmei.
Not far from the pinyin of 㱗 there is a number: 26.
What does this mean?
I don't understand at the moment.
"Madam, what did you see?" Shangguan Ziqi walked over.
When he saw his wife's thoughtful look, he knew what she had seen.
Yu Zheng handed it to him.
Shangguan Ziqi also picked it up and looked at it like her.
He saw it too.
"Madam, what is this word? Does it mean tons?" Shangguan Ziqi had never seen this kind of words before.
"No. This is the phonetic notation of our ancestor's princess' name." Yu Yuzheng was still thinking deeply before explaining casually.
But Shangguan Ziqi didn't understand.
Phonetic notation? The phonetic notation of Wei characters is not like this, but direct phonetic notation or fanqie. He has never seen such phonetic notation.
The prince also took the tablet and looked at it, and he saw it too.
"Ziqi's wife, could this be a hint of the ton code?" the prince reminded.
"It should be. Wait for my daughter-in-law to think about it carefully."
At this time, the princess also came in.
"Greetings, Princess Xi." Yu Yuzheng came to her senses only after seeing the princess.
"Zheng'er, you were lucky you weren't in the palace last night. Those damned people actually dared to break into the palace."
Last night, the three women were in the mansion. When the secret guards discovered that there was an assassin entering the mansion, she was so frightened that she quickly put on her clothes and wanted to go out to take a look.
Aunt Zhao tried her best to stop her from leaving the courtyard.
The secret guards guarding the courtyard also showed up to prevent her from leaving.
Finally, she waited until the fire was out before going over to take a look.
All ten assassins were killed. At that moment, she was not afraid at all, but instead checked to see if the iron box was okay.
Finally, he saw the painting being burned.
She felt very distressed, but she had already said nothing.
"Is Concubine Li frightened?" Shangguan Ziqi asked with concern.
"Princess Lu is fine. The secret guards killed all those people, not sparing any one." The princess felt relieved that all the assassins were killed.
"Princess Li is very brave." Yu Yuzheng gave the princess a thumbs up.
In her eyes, Concubine Li was a woman who was too well protected by her father.
"Oh, when will it end?" The princess sighed helplessly.
Although Princess Rong has a high status, she is always worried.
At this moment, Qinghe, the maidservant beside Yu Chaoyang, came hurriedly, looking very anxious.
