Chapter 118 - The True Treasure Map
"Disperse." The Emperor waved his hand.
In the afternoon, the weather was gloomy, and it was even drizzling. The drizzling rain caused the entire Prince Mansion to be covered in mist, Ye Han stood with his hands behind his back in the almond pavilion, watching the ripples on the surface of the lake.
Ying Su stood behind him and reported truthfully, "My prince, this subordinate found out that when you fell into the pond, the imperial concubine discovered something. He angrily went to the Golden Hall to argue with the emperor about it, and the next morning, news spread that the imperial concubine fell ill, and someone found out that the reason the imperial concubine had argued with the emperor was because Esteemed Empress Chen had tampered with the boots you wore, and someone even said that the imperial concubine had seen the imperial concubine come out of the imperial concubine's palace at night."
Ye Han's Eye Color began to deepen, a layer of unknown emotion shrouded his eyes, and his lips opened up: "Continue."
"The Shen Family sent a message from the people in the palace. It seems that the Emperor intends to weaken your power."
Just as Ying Su was about to speak, a Attendant wearing a blue robe ran over with his head down.
"Uncle?" Ye Han turned around. Not knowing why his uncle was looking for him at this time, he raised his hand.
In fact, he remembered that his uncle doted on him the most when he was young, but when he grew up, because of the difference in status, in order to not let the emperor look at him strangely, the Shen Family kept a distance from Ye Han. Other than that, he rarely saw his uncle around the imperial court or at banquets.
Shen Jingyi quickly walked over and bowed towards Ye Han, who helped him up. They had not seen each other for a long time, but his uncle's hair had already turned white and there were a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
"Uncle, could it be that something big happened?" Ye Han opened his mouth to ask, because he knew that there was no urgent matter that Shen Mo Yi would not meet with him privately, so why was he in such a hurry?
Shen Jingbin sighed, he was already old, and would resign in a few years, and said: "I've heard from the palace that the Emperor intends to take away your authority, all those years ago, when your mother died in confusion, our Shen Family would depend on you, and if you are in the imperial court, you have to be careful, and take all the authority in your hands, so that you don't have to look at others' expressions in the future, and will also be manipulated by others.
"Uncle, do you know that the death of mother was unusual?" Ye Han felt that he seemed to know that his mother's death was a secret.
Shen Jingyi sighed once again. "The Emperor is too disrespectful, even beauties will bring disaster upon themselves!"
The news of Shen Shuwu's sudden death had come all those years ago. How could a previously lively person suddenly lose his life? Besides, the Imperial Palace was dark. How many people had died because of something else, but had been crowned as the cause of "sudden illness"? His little sister did not die from a violent illness, but rather died miserably in the hands of the Emperor. At that time, he did not have the ability to avenge his little sister, but now, he already had the ability, but he was old. It was time to tell Ye Han the truth and let him make his own decision.
Thinking about it, Shen Jingbin told Ye Han everything she knew.
Ye Han's heart seemed to have been cut open by someone's blade, and that kind of feeling was difficult to describe. He tightly clenched his hands, one was his father who loved him since he was young, the other was his uncle who cared for him, and the other was the mother who loved him the most. What should he do?
The reason why the Emperor treats you like that is because he wants to make use of you to pave the way for his youngest son, Ye Qun. Han'er, now that you have built your family and grown up, you have your own thoughts and judgments. Shen Jingbin spoke in a low voice, afraid that he wouldn't be able to accept her words. "Han'er, you still have the entire Shen family behind you."
Ye Han nodded: "I understand."
"Whether the fate of the Shen Family is good or bad, lies in your hands." "This is the map that the Supreme Emperor left for you. Inside the map, there is a Glazed Glass Token that can summon troops and horses from the world, as well as the names and descendants of the trusted ministers and ministers that he placed in the countries. Now, Uncle will pass him onto your hands, to avoid taking revenge for your mother, it's all up to you."
"This map... Why is it in Shen Family? " Ye Han asked, he had always thought that the rumors were fake.
Shen Mo laughed: The Old Ancestor was a good friend of our ancestor back then, so he was afraid that the treasure map would fall into the hands of a villain. He sent people to make a copy and gave it to the Situ Family for safekeeping, using it to attract others' attention, and gave the real one to our Shen Family.
Ye Han suddenly realised, and heard Shen Mo Yi say: "All these years, we have been collecting the whereabouts of the descendants of our ancestors that we trusted all the countries, and we have recorded their names again. They are all on this list."
"Yes." Ye Han kept the wooden box properly.
"Han'er, Uncle is already old, this Shen Family relies on you." Shen Jingyi patted Ye Han's hands, almost tearing up.
"Uncle, don't worry. I will definitely protect Shen Family." Ye Han promised, and asked the kitchen to prepare a feast for Shen Jingbin, asking her to stay for a meal.
Shen Jingyi shook his head and said, "Uncle took a big risk in coming to find you, so he shouldn't stay any longer. Uncle has to go back first."
Ye Han knew what he was afraid of, so he nodded and sent some people to send Shen Mo Yi back.
"Han'er, take care!" After Shen Jingbin finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Ye Han returned to the Snow Listening Pavilion with a heavy heart and sat down on the embroidery chair to think.
In Silk Cloth Pavilion, the manager that Yun Qin invited was sitting at the counter with her hands crossed, looking at the customers that came in and out.
"Miss, the rain has stopped." Yu Er said happily.
A group of nobly dressed ladies suddenly came in from outside. Two or three of them looked familiar, but a few of them smiled and walked towards her. They saluted together: "Greetings to Princess."
"There's no need to be so courteous. Just call me Manager Yun in Silk Cloth Pavilion, no need to be so restrained. You are guests, and I am a seller." Yun Qin said with a smile, he never thought that these ladies would actually keep their promises, to really take care of her business, and the people that came were not few, seems like her promotions were useful.
"Princess... Manager Yun, I want the clothes that you and Your Highness are wearing. " A young and beautiful lady.
"No problem." Yun Qin smiled as she replied, instructing Yu Er to bring them to see their clothes.
One of the wives saw that the two of them were dressed exactly the same, and asked curiously, "Princess, what is this?"
"Dress for children, ladies, if you have any, you can buy three sets and each of you can walk on the street. You are the brightest kids on the street!" Yun Qin said.
The madams became excited and someone said straightforwardly, "I want three sets!"
"Me too! Me too!"
"Alright, alright. Don't be impatient. If there aren't any, I'll let the elderflower herb rush to it in a few days. " Yun Qin looked at these crazy women, and felt like she was going to explode.
