Chapter 144 Countless Possibilities
Jun Huolan took the blood jade and his hands trembled a bit, which made Zhuo Yu and Mo Yunzhu, who saw it clearly, feel a little weird.
"Your Majesty, have you seen this blood jade?" Mo Yunzhu asked in a low voice.
Jun Huolan nodded and said, "I have seen it, but not this piece. As far as I know, there are four pieces of this blood jade, one dragon, one phoenix, one fox, and one eagle. They are all oval in shape and about the same size. Each piece is exquisitely carved and was created by the same master carver."
Zhuo Yu asked excitedly, "Four pieces? Which one did Your Majesty see?"
"It's the Blood Phoenix." Jun Huolan said, "I saw it on the current Princess Xiang of the Chen Kingdom, but it was seven years ago."
"What? Princess Diaomanxiang?" Zhuo Yu said immediately.
"Yes, because I was a proton at the time, which made me special. Princess Xiang liked to play with me, so I asked her about it.
The jade of Princess Xiang is not actually hers, but that of the late Princess Kun. After Princess Kun died, the emperor at that time gave the jade to this granddaughter.
Jun Huolan continued calmly, "There is also a piece of blood jade with an eagle shape. I heard that it belonged to the Second Prince back then. But the Second Prince died later, so I don't know where the blood jade went. I think it was given to the young man."
"Then, do you know who this piece of jade belongs to?" Zhuo Yu's face was frighteningly pale, even paler than Jun Huolan's.
Obviously, this information was beyond his expectations.
Jun Huolan shook his head and said, "I really don't know this. I am a hostage. If Princess Xiang hadn't thought I was funny and told me this, I wouldn't have known it. She also said that this was cut from the best blood jade in Chen State. There are four pieces in total, with a dragon and a phoenix in pairs, and an eagle and a fox in pairs.
Zhuo Yu was silent, and Mo Yunzhu suddenly asked, "Princess Kun, did you die from a snake?"
Jun Huolan nodded and said, "Yes, but when I went there, she had been dead for many years. Because of the forbidden snake, I learned that Princess Kun died of the snake."
"Princess Kun is the current emperor's aunt?"
Jun Huolan nodded: "The current emperor is called Chen Yan, and his father is the third prince Chen Tianqi, who is now the emperor.
I heard that the second prince Chen Tianlu originally came to the throne, and it was Chen Tianqi who killed his brother Chen Tianlu and ascended the throne. The Blood Eagle Jade belonged to the second prince.
Chen Tianqi has a strong and brutal personality. After he came to power, he started to fight for supremacy in the world. Later, he defeated Qingyun and I became a hostage.
The current emperor is called Chen Yan. He issued a general amnesty right after he took office, which allowed me to come back. However, this Chen Yan is just like his father, a ruthless person. He has basically killed all the brothers in the royal family. "
Mo Yunzhu's eyebrows were all knotted together.
"So, the blood dragon and blood fox may also belong to the deceased prince or princess?"
Jun Huolan nodded and said, "It's very likely. There are four in total. Of course, if the dragon and phoenix are a pair, they may also be a husband and wife. For example, the blood phoenix belongs to Princess Kun, so the blood dragon is Princess Kun's consort?"
At this point he looked at Zhuo Yu and said, "It is also possible that this piece of jade from Master Zhuo was given to you by your husband, and you are very likely the Prince of Chen State."
"Cough, cough, cough." Zhuo Yu suddenly started coughing, gasping for breath, obviously frightened by such an assumption.
Mo Yunzhu glanced at him and said, "The blood eagle is the second prince? The blood fox is the second princess's?"
Then could she be the daughter of the Second Prince? And wasn't the murderer of her father the Emperor of Chen, Chen Tianqi?
"No!" Zhuo Yu coughed and shook his head, "The prince should be a blood dragon, why is he only a blood eagle?"
"It's also possible. For example, the princess is the blood phoenix and the prince is the blood dragon. This inference would be more reasonable. I know what Princess Xiang said, but I haven't actually seen the blood eagle on the second prince. Maybe the blood eagle belongs to the second princess."
Mo Yunzhu touched his chin, feeling a little confused, but no matter who it was, at least he knew that the blood jade was related to the royal family of Chen State.
Maybe I can find out if I go back and ask my parents.
"Maybe the blood dragon and blood phoenix are the elders, and the blood eagle and blood fox are the descendants." Zhuo Yu thought about it and felt that this was a possibility.
"The Queen Mother really loved Princess Kun and the Second Prince, so it was normal for her to give them the blood jade."
Mo Yunzhu smiled dumbly and said, "It seems there are many possibilities. But no matter what the possibility is, Master Zhuo, your life experience is related to the royal family of Chen State. Do you want to investigate it?"
Zhuo Yu frowned, took his blood dragon jade, and then closed his eyes.
After a while, he opened his eyes, looked at Jun Huolan and said, "Is the blood phoenix you saw really the same as my blood dragon?"
"You are absolutely right. This blood jade is of the highest quality. Do you think you can find it anywhere?" Jun Huolan said immediately, "And judging from your appearance, I will not doubt that you are from the royal family."
Mo Yunzhu was stunned, then her eyes suddenly lit up and she nodded, "Yes, Master Zhuo, you are so good-looking because of your parents' good genes. Royal genes are the best. Common people rarely have a good-looking face like you."
Zhuo Yu looked at Mo Yunzhu's excited expression, and the irritability in his heart seemed to be alleviated a lot by her words.
It turns out that she thinks she is good-looking.
Jun Huolan's handsome face sank. When he saw Mo Yunzhu staring at Zhuo Yu's face, he suddenly felt depressed.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Jun Huolan lowered his head and coughed into his fist.
Mo Yunzhu came back to her senses, looked at Jun Huolan, and then said: "Look, the prince is also good-looking. You both have royal genes, which is why you look so good. There is no mistake, Master Zhuo, you must be a descendant of the royal family of Chen State."
I added in my mind that maybe I was also a royal descendant, after all, she was pretty.
Zhuo Yu looked at Jun Huolan, and immediately felt that this speculation was indeed somewhat based on facts. None of the descendants of the royal family were ugly.
Like the Crown Prince Jun Xianhe, the Fourth Prince Jun Wuyang, Jun Huolan, etc., none of them are ugly, they are all handsome and slender. That's because there is no ugly in the women chosen by the emperor.
These five kingdoms were united, and the emperor's women were naturally carefully selected. Passed down from generation to generation, the descendants were all handsome men and beautiful women.
Jun Huolan felt better after being praised by Mo Yunzhu.
Looking at her beautiful face, he said, "Yun Zhu is also very beautiful."
Mo Yunzhu raised her eyebrows and thought of her parents. Naturally, her parents looked good, but she didn't look like her father or mother, and she looked nothing like Mo Huaiqing.
"After the New Year, I will go to Chen State to investigate."
Wanyaoge also has a herbal medicine store in Chen State, but Zhuo Yu has never had close contact with the royal family. At most, they are some royal relatives, not royal people with bloodline.
"Yes, Prince Lan, was it you, Prince, who was the man in black who stole the herbs from Wanyao Pavilion?" Zhuo Yu immediately thought of the incident in which he was covered in cow dung.
Jun Huolan really started coughing this time, choking on his own saliva. He didn't expect Zhuo Yu still remembered this incident.
