Chapter 373 Left for Him
"Unfortunately, Zhaoguo was unwilling to let you be the emperor. Someone even leaked your mother's identity, bringing her death and putting you in danger. We escaped from Dahe to Yuheng Mountain with great difficulty. We were poisoned and had little time left. We had nothing to leave for you. Now we can only leave Dongqing's things to you as a thought."
The words stop here.
But that almost makes things clear.
Fu Zhaoning looked at Xiao Lanyuan.
"Now I understand why the emperor loves and pampers you so much, but does not pass the throne of Zhao Kingdom to you."
It seems that the retired emperor is still worried that after he becomes the emperor of Zhaoguo, he will help Dongqing restore his country!
Moreover, if Zhaoguo and Dahe had done anything wrong to Dongqing in the past and occupied other people's mines, wouldn't they have to return all of that when Dongqing was restored?
No wonder Zhaoguo and Dahe became two powerful countries. Is it because they occupied Dongqing’s mines?
But the retired emperor still has feelings for Xiao Lanyuan, otherwise he would not have given him the Zhao Kingdom Seal and the Dragon Shadow Guard. He should also sincerely hope that Xiao Lanyuan can live well, right?
Fu Zhaoning can now imagine how conflicted the emperor was back then.
Maybe it was because of Xiao Lanyuan's identity that after he was poisoned, the royal family did not conduct a thorough investigation, not only allowing all the related people to escape, but also sending Xiao Lanyuan to Youqing Peak.
After she said that, she found that Xiao Lanyuan had been standing still and his eyes had never moved away.
"Xiao Lanyuan?"
Fu Zhaoning called him.
"Are you shocked?"
Will Xiao Lanyuan be unable to accept his own life experience?
Although he is indeed a descendant of the Xiao royal family and the Prince Jun of Zhao State, if what Master Xuanyuan said is true, both Zhao State and the Dahe royal family are enemies of Dong Qing.
Master Xuanyuan and the others, the princesses and their children, were also killed by Zhaoguo and Dahe.
The same goes for his mother.
How could he face the fact that his other half was the blood of his enemy?
Thinking of this, Fu Zhaoning couldn't help but put his hand on his shoulder, thought for a moment, and advised him, "Look at what she said. She didn't ask you to avenge them, nor did she ask you to take the responsibility of restoring the country."
Master Xuanyuan should have died before he was poisoned. We only know his birth date and his name, but we don’t know that he almost died young, otherwise he might not have left so many words.
"Here," Xiao Lanyuan did not answer her, but pointed to a stone hole above, "Try to see if it is the one for inserting the iron hairpin."
Fu Zhaoning paused, then took the iron hairpin and tried it.
When I inserted it, I heard a click, as if the key had fit into the keyhole.
She glanced at Xiao Lanyuan and tried to turn the hairpin, but felt resistance.
"I'll do it."
Fu Zhaoning stepped back.
He stretched out his hand to grasp the iron hairpin, twisted it with hidden strength, and with a click, there was indeed a sound of unlocking from inside. The entire stone wall opened before their eyes.
A stone cave large enough to accommodate three people appeared in front of them. Inside, there were several neatly stacked iron boxes that looked very sturdy, and each iron box had an identical keyhole.
hiss.
Fu Zhaoning opened his eyes wide.
She really didn't expect that Master Xuanyuan would use such a method to hide things. How did he dig a cave out of this huge rock?
Hide these things here, no one can find them or move them away.
"Qingyi."
Xiao Lanyuan called Qing Yi over.
“Move all this out.”
Qing Yi and the others came over and were shocked when they saw the scene.
Fu Zhaoning took a look at the writing while they were moving things. After a while, the water stains dried up and the writing disappeared.
Qing Yi and the others didn't see it when they came over.
All the iron boxes were moved out, eighteen in total, big and small. The big ones were almost big enough to fit Fu Zhaoning, and the small ones were very small.
Xiao Lanyuan pulled out the iron hairpin and handed it to Fu Zhaoning.
"You open it."
The locks of these iron boxes should be easy to unlock.
Fu Zhaoning took it and tried to open the smallest one on top first.
When the iron box was opened, it turned out to be a scroll of painting.
She handed the painting to Xiao Lanyuan.
Xiao Lanyuan slowly unfolded the painting.
They saw a city in the painting that was dominated by stone buildings and stone carvings, which was magnificent and majestic.
