Chapter 480 The Secret Revealed
Princess Changxiang glanced at him quietly and said, "We have found the blood dragon jade. Now we have collected four pieces of blood jade. The secret is in the library."
"What!" Chen Yan was extremely surprised and stood up.
"Let's go and take a look together. I also want to know what secrets the great empress left behind."
Chen Yan immediately nodded and said, "This should be the secret of our great-grandmother." Then the two of them quickly went towards the library.
When Eunuch Zhong saw the Emperor coming with Princess Changxiang, he was unable to stop them and just watched the two of them walk into the library.
His old eyes looked into the distance, then he shook his head and sighed deeply.
"Little Lu." He called the little servant beside him.
"Eunuch Zhong?" Little Luzi ran over immediately.
"Go find Eunuch Lin Zhan. I have something to tell him."
"Okay, I'll get there right away." Little Luzi ran away immediately.
But in fact, Lin Zhan was the chief eunuch of the palace and usually followed the emperor, so he was waiting outside the courtyard of the library.
"Eunuch Zhong asked me to come in?" Eunuch Lin Zhan was also shocked.
Xiao Luzi nodded: "Eunuch Lin, please go in quickly."
Lin Zhan immediately walked into the courtyard of the library. At this time, Chen Yan and Princess Changxiang had already walked into the attic.
"Eunuch Zhong." Lin Zhan was very respectful in front of Eunuch Zhong, because he knew that this eunuch was the most trusted person around the Empress Dowager back then. At that time, the Empress Dowager was not yet the Empress, but just a concubine who had just entered the palace.
He came to the palace from the Empress Dowager's hometown. Rumor has it that he entered the palace as a slave in order to protect the Empress Dowager.
Later, Chen Tianqi's father disliked him and put him in the library. He has been in charge of this place left by his ancestors for fifty years.
And he naturally knew the secret of the four pieces of blood jade. He never left here, in fact, he was also guarding this secret.
It seems that the day has finally come when the truth comes out.
Lin Zhan was pulled aside by Eunuch Zhong and talked to for a few words.
Lin Zhan's expression changed instantly, but then he nodded and left quickly.
In the library, Chen Yan and Princess Changxiang stood in front of an exquisitely carved screen on the top floor.
Because Princess Changxiang noticed that the patterns on the screen were actually the same patterns on four pieces of blood jade.
There are also carvings of dragons, phoenixes, eagles and foxes on it.
"Look, there are several sunken places here!" Chen Yan saw four elliptical holes lined up on the bottom base of the screen.
Princess Changxiang was surprised, then took out four pieces of blood jade and inlaid them one by one in the order of the animals on it.
Chen Yan's palms were sweating. He had been to this library several times, but he would never pay attention to a screen for so long.
Now looking at the four pieces of blood jade inlaid perfectly, it really makes him feel like it is dark under the lamp.
Suddenly, a cover above the base of the screen popped open, revealing a piece of brown paper.
"Is this the secret?" Princess Changxiang immediately reached out to take it.
"Wait!" Chen Yan hurriedly stopped her, "What if it's poisonous?"
Princess Changxiang rolled her eyes and said, "The mechanism is already very difficult to open, the last step will definitely not be poisonous."
As he said this, he still reached out to take it, and Chen Yan immediately moved over.
Princess Changxiang slowly opened the kraft paper and saw a line of red words written in cinnabar on it.
The two of them stared at it with wide eyes, and then their faces turned pale. They looked at each other and saw extreme shock in each other's eyes.
"This, this can't be true! Impossible!" Chen Yan roared with his face flushed instantly.
"Be gentle!" Princess Changxiang reacted immediately and shouted tenderly.
Chen Yan then covered his mouth. He was really afraid that he would say something.
Because the words above said that Chen Tianqi and Cheng Xiangxiang were not born to the Empress, but to Liu, the lowly maidservant of the Empress Dowager.
What does this prove? How could Chen Yan and Princess Changxiang not know it?
Chen Tianqi's lineage is not the orthodox royal bloodline!
"How could this happen!" Princess Changxiang grabbed the sturdy brown paper tightly with one hand.
"Aunt, do you think my father knows about this?" Chen Yan's voice was trembling.
Princess Changxiang shook her head and said, "He probably doesn't know, but if he doesn't know, why did he always dislike the Second Emperor?"
Princess Changxiang almost went crazy when she thought about how the Empress Dowager had treated her before. She realized that she was not born by the Empress, and that her face should be like Liu beside her.
Who dares to speak out about this kind of royal scandal? They can only try their best to cover it up, and the Empress Dowager at the time should have helped to cover it up!
Otherwise, the Empress Dowager would not have been so crazy to destroy her.
No wonder the Empress Dowager only liked the siblings Chen Tianlu and Chen Kunlin, but not her and Chen Tianqi.
It turns out that the reasons are all here.
"Hahaha." Princess Changxiang suddenly burst into laughter.
Chen Yan was frightened when he saw her.
"Even if the truth is like this, so what? The current Chen Kingdom belongs to our lineage, who can take it away?
Your Majesty, your descendants should be more pure and not cause such a scandal." Princess Changxiang looked at Chen Yan with a warning look.
Chen Yan was depressed for a moment, then said: "I don't like those slaves, and I will never mess up the bloodline."
After saying this, he sighed deeply and said, "I never thought our bloodline was not orthodox."
"Bullshit! I am the one who is right now, and others are not right!" Princess Changxiang was so angry that she didn't want to admit that she was born to a slave girl.
Chen Yan nodded immediately and said, "Only the two of us should know about this matter. Destroy this so that there will be no other bloodline of the Chen family in the future."
"Then we must get rid of Mo Yunzhu and Chen Yunci. These two are the legitimate bloodline of our ancestor. If those who have always supported our ancestor knew about this, they would definitely support Chen Yunci in restoring order.
Even if Chen Yunci dies, the son born to Mo Yunzhu will become the lineage they protect."
A cool breeze came up from under Chen Yan's feet.
No one knew the importance of royal blood better than him, because he himself would never allow such a thing to happen.
After all, the kingdom conquered by this lineage must be passed on to the most legitimate lineage. The inferior bloodline is the most despicable to the royal family and must be attacked the most, for fear of conflicts with the legitimate lineage and destruction of the security of the Chen Kingdom.
"Why don't we tell the emperor," Chen Yan said after thinking for a moment, "and ask him to send someone to Qingyun to kill Mo Yunzhu."
Chen Yan will never give up this position, and his child will also sit in this position, so now that he knows it, he must kill them all.
In this respect, he is indeed Chen Tianqi's son, cruel and ruthless!
"Your Majesty, Princess Changxiang." Suddenly, Eunuch Zhong's voice sounded behind them.
"Ah!" The two were so scared that they screamed.
Eunuch Zhong sneered in his heart as he looked at the opened lid and the brown paper in Princess Changxiang's hand.
They finally realized that the Chen family was not their lowly bloodline. He had actually wanted to uncover the secret that the Empress Dowager asked him to protect a long time ago, but because Chen Yunci did not show up, he could only sit back and do nothing.
