Chapter 541 Bracelet
"found it!"
The little girl held the candlestick in one hand and took out the account book from the gold and silver with the other hand.
She straightened up, and as she moved her arms, she bumped into a high box behind her on the left.
There was a "click" sound, and a small box fell and broke open. The bracelet inside rolled several times before stopping.
Jiang An was startled by the voice.
Because many of her treasures were stored in the Zhaixing Tower, there were not too many candles on the tower for fear of a fire accidentally starting.
So much so that the little girl couldn't see clearly what fell.
She walked over quickly and lit up the candlestick in her hand...
"bracelet…"
A bracelet that looks expensive.
When did such a thing appear in her Star-Picking Tower?
Jiang An sat down and picked up the bracelet.
A phoenix was carved into the hollow part of the table, with gems inlaid in its eyes and body. It glowed brightly under the candlelight, making the interior of the pavilion seem otherworldly.
After playing with it for a while, the little girl suddenly remembered the origin of the bracelet.
This seemed to be the bracelet that Princess Nan Shang had mentioned several times. It was the one she brought to the north as a gift for herself when she was three years old.
If it hadn't come out by itself tonight, the little girl would probably not have remembered this little toy when she set out again.
What is the difference between it...
Jiang An held up the bracelet and looked at it. As the bracelet turned, the light reflected in the attic moved along with it, just like the sky full of stars!
A bracelet that looks like it's just inlaid with gems actually has such a mystery.
The late emperor really doted on this daughter!
The little girl laughed and sighed. She was admiring the stars in the building when she suddenly felt something strange.
This star...is missing a piece!
In order to confirm her guess, Jiang An moved the candle closer and looked at the bracelet carefully.
There is a piece of bright yellow silk hidden in the phoenix carved on the bracelet, and it looks very much like the material of the emperor's underwear.
The little girl ran her fingers around the bracelet, felt a gap, and wanted to open it.
"master!"
Jiang Si appeared out at some point and stretched out his hand to Jiang An.
He said, "My subordinates, beware of fraud."
"No..." Jiang An said firmly.
Princess Nanshang had no reason to harm her.
While she was saying this, the little girl had already started.
A small piece of silk cloth was taken out, with spots of blood on it...
She unfolded the silk cloth and saw a few words written in blood on it: The imperial edict is in the palace.
The handwriting was illegible, as if it was written in a hurry, and the handwriting was unfamiliar, which the little girl had never seen before.
This is not Princess Nanshang’s handwriting…
In addition to the special nature of the cloth, Jiang An could basically guess that it should have been written by the previous emperor.
It was the last life-saving talisman he left for his daughter.
And what this imperial edict refers to...could it be the edict that appoints Prince Yong as the crown prince?
Jiang An held the light cloth in his hands, but his heart was in a mess...
There was silence in the attic. Jiang Si was like a shadow, half of his body hidden in the darkness. He looked at his master with a pair of calm eyes, without any other emotion.
The wind and snow outside were getting stronger and stronger, so strong that it broke the windows in the attic!
The candle was extinguished, and wind mixed with snow rushed into the attic, covering Jiang An with snow.
Ice crystals hung on her gently fluttering eyelashes, and the ribbon around her waist fluttered.
"Don't turn it off..."
The little girl stopped Jiang Si from closing the window and looked up at the sky covered by dark clouds.
The cold wind and snow made her sober...
Now she seems to be caught in an airtight net, with secrets everywhere she touches.
Jiang An clenched the cloth in his hand and murmured softly: "In the palace..."
But the secret records of that year clearly stated that the imperial edict went all the way from the imperial city to the north, but was intercepted and killed along the way, and its whereabouts are unknown.
My father wouldn't lie to me, so neither would the secret group!
"We were deceived..." The little girl laughed softly, her laughter was sad.
What a great late emperor! What a great late emperor!
The imperial edict was never even sent out of the palace that year!
Even if King Yong had not committed suicide before the war in the north, he would still have died!
The late emperor never thought of letting Prince Yong inherit the throne. He just wanted the imperial concubine and the Xie family to fight to the death and suffer losses on both sides!
Jiang An stood up and ran quickly downstairs.
She was wearing a cloak and never stopped moving.
The late emperor never really loved anyone, whether it was Prince Yong or the imperial concubine...
He only loves the princess who brought auspiciousness when she was born!
Leaving these few short words to her, if Prince Yong defeated the Xie family, Princess Nanshang would present the imperial edict to make him legitimate, and then she could live the rest of her life in peace; if the Xie family won, this imperial edict would be the evidence of their usurpation of the throne, and she could still live a stable life by holding the Xie family's braids and enjoy her wealth and glory.
"Miss…"
Zheng Yan, who was making a snowman in the yard, saw the little girl coming out of the building. He smiled and was about to show the snowman he had made to the girl.
His smile gradually faded, and he saw that the young lady's face looked a little strange.
"Miss?" Nianniang in the corridor also called her.
Zheng Lu, who was dozing with a broad sword in his arms, opened his eyes and stared at the little girl's back as she ran away.
The three of them looked at each other, all at a loss.
What's up with her?
Jiang An didn't stop, or rather, she didn't hear it at all. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind...
Find her dad and stay with him.
The snow had just started falling and there was no sign of stopping, and the servants did not come out to clear the snow.
Every step the little girl took was a little difficult.
"what…"
She cried out softly and fell accidentally.
"Miss!"
The three people behind him who hadn't figured out the situation yet dropped what they were holding and ran over.
Jiang An pursed her lips, stood up, her round eyes seemed filled with tears, and then ran towards her father's main courtyard.
The wind and snow did not stop, and the little girl's body was half frozen after walking a short distance.
The colder it was, the more awake she became.
In that game that year, no one was a winner.
Only Princess Nanshang...win-win situation.
What imperial mandate, what benefit to the people of the world, it's all fake!
To this day, Jiang An doesn’t even dare to think about whether the Imperial Master lied for the sake of the people of the world or whether he was instructed by the late emperor.
In this situation, only her father suffered because of one lie after another.
Just as he reached the main courtyard, Jiang An stopped.
Looking at the bright lights inside and the shadows cast on the windows, her father was reading the official documents that he had not finished reading during the day.
She asked herself, what should she say when she gets in?
Tell her dad, you were deceived...we were all deceived.
Your brother...my biological father's fortune might have been deliberately made up by the late emperor. Everything in his life over the past twenty years was just a bubble, it's all fake!
Every suffering you have experienced is nothing but lies!
After standing there for a while, I heard the sound of footsteps on the snow behind me.
There were also noises in the courtyard...
Jiang An raised her eyes and found Jiang Jiu, who looked a little strange to her, standing in the yard. He was about to knock on the door and ask her father to come out.
别…
The little girl blinked slowly, holding the cloth in her hands. She turned slowly and walked back along the way she came, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The slender back was straight, and even such a strong snowstorm could not blow her down.
