The two picked up the Luban box. This box is very special. If you are not careful, the contents inside will be locked.
Xie Shaoheng is cunning. If he doesn't find a chance to get close to it, he may not be able to open the box.
"Get out of the way." Xie Yu tried to open the box with brute force, but was stopped by Shen Zhiyi in time. Their hands overlapped, and they could clearly feel the warmth of each other's palms.
At this moment, the two people's eyes met unexpectedly. Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but feel a little panicked. She quickly retracted her hand, trying to cover up her gaffe.
"This box cannot be opened like this." Shen Zhiyi looked at Xie Yu seriously. She knew that the structure of this box was very special. If it was opened with brute force, it would not only damage the box, but also stain the contents with ink. Can't see clearly either.
Xie Yu looked at her and sighed, explaining: "I'm not going to smash this thing. I've done it at a nearby blacksmith shop and learned some crafts. I just want to see what kind of material this box is made of." If it works, will there be any special mechanism?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Shen Zhiyi's eyes. How could he go to the blacksmith shop when he was clearly a prince?
"I know what you are thinking. We have no money, and the old emperor doesn't care. I can't starve to death on the streets." Xie Yu touched her head, "Let's go. If you can't open it, find a way to get the secret."
Shen Zhiyi frowned slightly, knowing that Xie Yu was right. This box is indeed special, not so easy to open. Moreover, if it really couldn't be opened, they wouldn't be able to spend it here forever.
She followed Xie Yu, and the two left the study.
"Miss Shen, just say goodbye."
"Farewell." Shen Zhiyi said softly.
Shen Zhiyi looked at his back. The eldest prince's voice was very special, with an indescribable feeling. She had heard that the eldest prince had his throat burnt because of his greedy mouth when he was a child. She didn't know if this was the reason.
She shook her head and decided not to think about it any more. The most important thing now was to find out how to open the Luban box. She remembered that Xie Shaoheng had mentioned this Luban box to him. This Luban lock was given to the late emperor by her grandfather.
Fu Ling ran over from a distance and grabbed the lady, "Miss, where have you been? Fu Ling didn't find you."
"Fu Ling, you haven't found me during this time, and you haven't mentioned me to anyone, have you?" Shen Zhiyi was a little worried. After all, her behavior just now was a bit risky. If others knew about it, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
Fu Ling immediately understood what Shen Zhiyi meant. She quickly shook her head and said, "Don't worry, Miss. Fu Ling knows that Miss has something important to do and will never reveal her whereabouts."
Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Fu Ling's assurance. She knew that although Fu Ling was young, she was extremely alert, and she was relieved to have her by her side.
"I'm fine, don't worry." The lady comforted Fuling, "I just went for a walk for a while, but I didn't expect to go a bit far."
After hearing this, Fuling was still a little worried, "Miss, don't run around alone in the future, be careful." She warned, "What's more, this house is full of bad luck and conflicts."
Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but sneer, this kid.
As today's groom, King Hengyuan was recruiting guests in front, so it was naturally not his turn to do the menial work. He was just dealing with some nobles from the capital, but King Rui stopped him.
He knew that Prince Rui always spoke freely, and most of what he said was not good.
"Third brother, you're fine." King Rui said, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
King Hengyuan didn't answer, he didn't want to get entangled with King Rui any longer. He was about to leave when he was stopped by the boy next to Prince Rui. Seeing that he was dressed a bit revealingly, he must be his new male favorite.
"King Hengyuan, Prince Rui is talking to you, how can you not answer?" The man smiled, with a hint of disdain in his tone.
Xie Shaoheng frowned. He couldn't stand the shameful behavior of Prince Rui, and now he brought his male favorite to make trouble at his wedding. It was a complete disregard of etiquette.
"Nian Nian, come back." Prince Rui smiled, his tone full of disdain and provocation, and he called his male favorite carefully.
"King Hengyuan, Prince Rui is talking to you, how can you not answer?"
King Hengyuan frowned and looked coldly at the male favorite in his fourth brother's arms. He was obviously a man, but he was dressed more colorfully than a woman. It was really disgusting. "Get out of the way, I don't have time to fight with you."
Si Nian laughed with disdain, "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to Prince Rui like this? You don't even know who you are."
King Hengyuan couldn't help but feel a little angry. He glared at the boy and said coldly: "Get out of the way or not, it's up to you. But don't blame me for not reminding you, there are some things you shouldn't say nonsense."
"Third brother, we kindly came to congratulate you on your wedding, but you didn't even prepare wedding wine for us. It's unreasonable."
Who would bring their male favorite to congratulate someone on their wedding? This is not a congratulation, it is clearly just here to cause trouble.
The moment he saw Prince Rui coming over, Shen Xuan couldn't stop trembling. Luo Shi next to him looked at his son like this and thought he was feeling uncomfortable, "What's the matter, Xuan'er?"
Luo Shi patted Shen Xuan's back comfortingly, "Mom, I know you don't like to be close to Prince Rui. After all, he is a prince and has a distinguished status. Moreover, your father also needs help from Prince Rui to handle some of his private matters."
Shen Xuan didn't respond, just lowered his head in silence. He understood his mother's difficulties in his heart, but every time he faced King Rui, he felt uncontrollable fear and anger.
Seeing that Shen Xuan didn't speak, Luo Shi continued: "Xuan'er, you have to learn to control your emotions. For your father and Qingwan..."
When he heard the words "Qingwan", Shen Xuan suddenly turned around. Luo Shi grabbed his empty sleeves. He was stunned for a moment. Shen Xuan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed his words.
Prince Rui had many interests with Shen Hong. During this period, Shen Xuan tried to take over his father's affairs, but his father always avoided him intentionally or unintentionally, and instead paid more attention to his legitimate son who was always disliked.
Luo Shi has offended too many powerful people during these days, and luck accounts for a large part of his survival so far. As for the other Shen Xuan, he doesn't know, but he always feels that there is some conspiracy.
If the major aristocratic families were compared to a chess game, in this chess game, if he continued to play head-on and lost without leaving a single piece of armor, he couldn't figure out whether the opponent was his former idiot sister or Jiang Yubai.
If Shen Zhiyi was the one who caused all this, her previous actions were completely unjustifiable, and it seemed like she had been possessed by some evil spirit.
If she was controlled by some evil spirit, could the person controlling her be Governor Jiang?
