Chapter 277

Emperor Qingming looked over.

Last time he saw that the planting position of this old jujube tree was no different from that in the old house where their brother and sister lived when they were young.

But now in Jingrong's memory, all she remembers is the original one from beginning to end.

"Dig up and have a look -"

Emperor Qingming went over and ordered the bodyguard on his side.

Just after the weeds in the yard were cleared, two shovels were left not far away. Two bodyguards took them and began to dig.

Emperor Qingming paid close attention to his feet.

All around the jujube trees are paved with green bricks. There is no difference in the color and wear degree of each green brick. There are still some withered white roots left after the weeds are removed between the bricks.

It can be seen that these bricks have not been tampered with.

The land under the bricks is also plain and solid over the years.

The soil was quickly turned over by the guard's shovel.

"Your Majesty, there is something."

The shovel touched a hard object different from the earth block, and the guard hurried to report it.

"Look, I'll say it's here!" Princess Jing Rongchang was happy and proud, and urged with her hips on her hips, "help me dig it out!"

Emperor Qingming smiled and nodded and said to the bodyguard, "dig it out. Be careful with your men. Don't damage the things inside."

However, if it was buried in the year when the first emperor died, I'm afraid it would have been almost corroded if it had not been properly preserved for so many years.

Thinking about this, Emperor Qingming couldn't help feeling that he really thought too much today.

How could it be what he thought?

He did remember that after his father left, Jingrong told him about his burial - if it was what he guessed, how could Jingrong tell him?

Besides, it really doesn't make sense to bury the important things here for so many years.

But when the two bodyguards carried out the box, Emperor Qingming's eyes changed again.

Even if buried under the soil for many years, the surface of the wooden box is still moist and the texture is beautiful and clear.

This box is made of shady wood.

Shady wood is valuable, rare and resistant to decay, which is far from being comparable to ordinary wood——

"Such a big box..." Princess Jing Rongchang squatted down, some doubts in her eyes, but more surprises and expectations: "open it quickly!"

"Dingning, do you have the key?" emperor Qingming asked her in a warm tone.

"Key..." the long Princess shook the lock on the box, shook her head and said, "I don't remember locking... Key... Will the key be in Ye Mo?"

Then he quickly stood up and said, "brother, I'll find Ye Mo to get the key!"

"Don't bother so much."

Emperor Qingming expected that most of Ye Mo would not know where the key was. He directly told the guard, "break it."

"Yes."

A bodyguard pulled out a long knife at his waist and cut open the fine copper lock three or two times.

The box was opened. Although there were some moth marks in it, it was only a little. The contents were still intact.

The long Princess bent down and searched the box with her hands.

There were many gadgets in the box. In the search room, there were copper bells ringing, and some faded silk flowers were thrown out by her.

Then he saw her stop, turned around, beamed and said, "brother, I found it!"

Emperor Qingming looked at the exquisite rattle in her hand and said with a smile, "it's really here."

While he was talking, he squatted down and looked at the miscellaneous things in the box.

Finally, his eyes fixed on a long brocade box.

"Ding Ning, what's in it?"

Most of the other things are clear at a glance, only this brocade box is different.

"This......" the long Princess thought, shook her head, put the rattle in her hand between her knees, freed her hand, took out the brocade box and wondered how to open it.

She moves very fast.

As soon as the brocade box was opened, the contents fell out.

Things fell to the ground in an instant, and there was no time to see what it was——

However, the bright yellow in front of him has made the pupils of emperor Qingming tighten in an instant.

He looked down.

Bright yellow silk is rolled up and tied with golden silk.

One hand quickly picked up the silk: "... Brother, what is this?"

Or she didn't recognize it and was not interested. Without her brother's answer, Princess Jingrong threw the silk back into the box.

She stood up, shook the rattle in her hand and ran away with a happy smile.

Emperor Qingming slowly stretched out his hand and took things out of the box.

This is an edict——

Will it be the imperial edict when Jing Rong was granted the princess?

Or... He has never seen or known

Holding silk in his hand, Emperor Qingming straightened up slowly.

The golden silk satin was picked up and slid onto the emperor's Stone Blue soap boots with auspicious clouds embroidered with gold thread.

Silk unfolded before his eyes, revealing lines of elegant small letters.

Emperor Qingming's eyes were frozen and cold.

This is his father's autograph

And he clearly remembered that the imperial edict when their four brothers and Jing Rong were granted was not a father's letter!

And this book

Qingming emperor's eyes swept every word inch by inch, and the original stagnant eyes shook and turned.

After reading the last line of words and the Zhu seal stamped on it, he suddenly jumped out of his clenched teeth with a smile.

Ok

That's great!

His good father, who really wants to pass the throne, is not him!

He is not suspicious, and he has never wronged anyone!

He was never wrong!

Emperor Qingming suddenly grasped the silk in his hand and looked at his sister squatting in the corridor fiddling with a dead bonsai. Her eyes were cold.

Xu was bored. Princess Jing Rongchang soon ran back.

"Brother, let's bury these things back and dig again when I need time." she pointed to the box with the rattle in her hand.

Emperor Qingming has been quietly looking at her. He smiled at the speech, raised the imperial edict in his hand, and asked, "do you take it out when you want to use it? Dingning - no, Jingrong... Tell me, when did you intend to use it?"

"Elder brother, what's this?" Princess Jing Rongchang was confused in her eyes and stretched out her hand to get it.

Emperor Qingming dropped his hand, put away the cold smile on his face and slowly approached her.

"Jing Rong, why do you keep it and hide it all the time? Why do you refuse to take it out or destroy it? Is this your father's confession or your own selfishness? Or both?"

Princess Jing Rongchang took back her outstretched hand and unconsciously retreated, as if she was aware of some terrible danger, and her expression gradually became a little nervous.
