The past life is cold and the present life is warm

Shao Zhikan looked at Eunuch Rui and said straight to the point: "Eunuch Rui, I heard what you said before, Eunuch Fu should know what happened between us. And he also prefers me to be the commander, right? If I get the token He will obey my orders, right?"

Eunuch Rui smiled and nodded and said, "That's exactly it."

Shao Zhikan also smiled and nodded and said: "Okay, today I will take away the commander's token. From tomorrow on, the imperial palace will begin to operate normally. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."

Shao Zhikan smiled when he said this. But Eunuch Rui felt that Shao Zhihan was exuding a strong murderous aura. And the aura around him has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

It's completely different from the gentle and elegant feeling I usually have. But Eunuch Rui felt that nothing had changed in Shao Zhihan except that his smile was not reaching his eyes at this moment?

Su Wanqiu felt a little restless after returning to Su Mansion from Ruiwenzhai. She has been waiting for news from Rui Wenzhai. But now it's dark and there's no news of Shao Zhikan leaving the palace. I'm afraid something big happened in this palace.

Su Wanqiu frowned and paced back and forth, unable to help but guess: Maybe there was something wrong with the emperor's Gu insect. That's why.

But this speculation made Su Wanqiu even more uneasy.

While she was anxious, Su Wanqiu suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. Then the voice of the pillow kite came over: "Girl, outside, there is a pigeon flying outside. Come on, tie this bamboo tube on it."

Su Wanqiu quickly opened the door. I found the pillow kite standing there nervously holding a gray pigeon that was cooing.

Su Wanqiu frowned and carefully took the dove, then carried it into the house. Press the pigeon on the table and carefully remove the small bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg. Then he pulled out the stopper on the small bamboo tube and poured out a small note.

Su Wanqiu went to get the note and let go of the pigeon. Zhenyuan conveniently held the pigeon in his arms and stroked it slowly. It's strange that the pigeon didn't fly or crow, but just cooed quietly in the pillow's arms. Like puppies and kittens.

Su Wanqiu was anxious to read the note, but glanced at Zhenyuan and ignored her. Stretch out the note. It turned out to be Shao Zhikan's handwriting. The superiors told her to come directly to Ruiwenzhai if anything happened. Starting tomorrow, he will stay in the palace for a while.

Su Wanqiu lit the note and threw it into the charcoal basin nearby. Looking at Zhenyuan, he said, "Is Suzhu already asleep?"

Zhenyuan nodded and hugged the pigeon and said nervously: "No, that's right, it's tonight, I'm on night watch."

Su Wanqiu nodded and said, "Then you can change my clothes for me."

Zhen Yuan looked surprised. But he didn't dare to ask or refute Su Wanqiu. Immediately following Su Wanqiu's instructions, he went to get a pair of men's clothes and put them on for Su Wanqiu.

At this time, Shao Zhikan stood alone in front of the ink jade Guanyin statue and was silent for a long time. Then he took out a small porcelain doll from a purse and put it on carefully. But nothing happened. Shao Zhikan shook his head and put the doll into another purse. Then he took out another doll and carefully put it on it again. Still nothing happened. After Shao Zhikan released five or six of them in succession. There are fewer and fewer little dolls in my purse. Just when Shao Zhikan thought all the dolls he made had failed. The doll in his hand has just been placed. Shao Zhikan heard a creaking sound. Then the Buddhist niche under the Guanyin statue slowly rose up.

This surprised Shao Zhikan. This was something he never expected. No wonder those who looked for the token before never found it. Who would have thought that there would be a mechanism on this Buddhist altar. The key to the mechanism turned out to be this little doll that had nothing to do with the Buddhist altar.

Shao Zhikan moved forward with crutches and found something wrapped in red cloth inside the raised Buddhist niche. There are two letters underneath. Shao Zhikan frowned and reached out to pick up the thing wrapped in red cloth. Then slowly open the red cloth. Inside is the jade-inlaid gold token.

Shao Zhikan's eyes were a little red. He looked at the token for a long time and then put it into his arms. Then he reached out and picked up the two unsealed letters inside. But after seeing the words on the letter, Shao Zhikan was stunned again.

The first envelope said Shao Zhikanqi, while the other envelope said Xiao Jinrongqi. This made Shao Zhikan's pupils couldn't help but shrink. Did her mother already know that Xiao Ba’s name was Xiao Jinrong before she died?

In other words, my uncle had already chosen a name for Xiaoba before he was born. No wonder my uncle didn't hesitate at all when he started writing. But this made Shao Zhihan confused about his uncle's feelings for Xiao Jinrong.

After thinking for a long time, Shao Zhikan slowly opened the letter with his name on it.

The beginning of the letter reads:

The content made Shao Zhihan feel instantly at a loss.

The letter read: "Khan'er's ability to obtain this seal means that you have been approved by Eunuch Rui." So he told you about the existence of this token. Auntie is very happy that you can grow up safely. My aunt feels relieved that this token that should have been given to my brother can be handed over to you.

I guess Wu Ning must have taught you well. Become an outstanding man who values ​​friendship, is responsible, and is both civil and military.

Auntie doesn't expect you to fight for power. But my aunt hopes that you can protect the safety of the people of Hebei with this token. If you have any questions, take this letter to your current father. Maybe he can give you all the answers. I believe you have reached the age where you can accept the truth.

May peace and joy

The letter was not signed. But Shao Zhihan was extremely familiar with the handwriting on the letter. This is the handwriting of the late eldest princess. This is the handwriting he has read for more than ten years. It was a note he would never forget after reading it.

It is different from other women's notes. This trace of dragons and phoenixes has flamboyant lines, just like the portrait of the eldest princess he had seen. She is a woman who is wanton and flamboyant.

But why did she call herself aunt? Did I make a mistake? So he couldn't wait to open another letter written on Jamel Xiao. The believable beginning made Shao Zhihan's pupils tremble violently.

The beginning of the letter reads: My son Zhan Xinjia

Shao Zhihan didn't read a word of the following content. He suspected that two letters had been tampered with and then placed in the wrong envelope. But the title at the beginning made him believe that the letter was not false.

At this moment he felt that his whole body had lost all strength. He slowly walked back to the wheelchair with crutches. Then he slowly sat on the wheelchair. He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to force himself to calm down. Then he continued to slowly look at the letter belonging to Xiao Jamrong in his hand. (End of chapter)
