The same people are sitting in the same place, but the atmosphere in the room is different.
His Highness looked at the two confidants sitting upright in front of him with unusually solemn expressions, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"I'm telling you two, don't look so serious and don't make the atmosphere so tense, okay? I'm just saying that there is such a situation. I remembered it and I can tell you about it. We can discuss it. It’s just a matter of doing it, don’t really think that my life is at stake.”
"This matter is a big deal. Your Highness should be more careful." Ah Piao stood up, opened the palace door, checked left and right, up and down, and only after confirming that there was no one outside, came back and closed the door. The palace gate is ready. "That's it."
"You are still too careful. Now in this palace, there is no need to be so defensive." His Highness smiled bitterly, "There is no way that Auntie still has some men left and can still keep an eye on me, right?"
"In the past few nights, we can't take it lightly. Who knows whether that guy at the bottom of the river will secretly send someone to spy. After all, his two biological sons have fallen into our hands, and they will definitely come to rescue us. If there is only one good and strong person , and without Shanda, it might not matter, but Shanda is here, and once they know the news, they will definitely come to rescue, unless..." A Piao looked at His Highness, "Hexia has another son, but... She shook her head gently, "Depending on the situation, it probably won't happen."
"That's right!" Hei Lu'er nodded, "I and Master Piao have the same idea. Master Ishibu and Xiao Dan also think so. Therefore, everything has been arranged. The palace has been heavily guarded. As long as they dare Come on, don't think about leaving completely, you must leave something for us so that our troubles to entertain them are not in vain."
"Having said that, what kind of person do you think this second aunt is?" His Highness looked at A Piao and then at Hei Lu'er, "Do you think she is dead now or alive?"

"Dead!" Hei Lu'er and A Piao said in unison, "I just said that she was still alive in front of Shan Qiang. It was just to scare Shan Qiang. With Hexia's character, apart from himself, the only other person who My aunt and my second aunt’s parents know that Shanda is his son, so they must silence him. After all, dead people don’t speak or reveal secrets.”
"So that's it." His Highness said thoughtfully, "So, if the only heir falls into our hands, he will definitely save him. Then, another question, will he come in person?"
"It's hard to say. Not only is Shanda his son, but he also has the secret of a royal treasure, so..."
"Understood." His Highness nodded, "I deliberately left you two here because I want to tell you the secrets I know about Wangyue Cliff."
"But, Your Highness, we are not..."
"You are not from the Wanyan family, but you are people I trust, and this does not violate the requirements of our ancestors. However, this rumor is just an oral tradition passed down by our ancestors from generation to generation. No one has personally confirmed it, and we don't know what the rumor is. Is it true or not?" His Highness sighed, "So, you two, please relax as much as possible. We are just chatting casually. There is no need to be so close to the enemy. Even if someone wants to take my life soon, two You can keep me safe, right?"
"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness."
"You don't have to be so polite to me."
"Having said that, it is easy to dodge open guns and difficult to guard against hidden arrows. Your Highness cannot guarantee that no one except the Wanyan family knows about this." A Piao waved his hand towards His Highness, "Finally, At least, the Hexia family now knows that such a treasure exists, but they don’t know where this place is. But where did they know this secret? Why don’t I, who is in Yiqing Prefecture, know it at all? And..." She looked at Hei Lu'er, "It seems that there are rumors of treasures in Wangyue Cliff, right?"
"Yes, I have never heard of it. Your Highness also knows that when I was young, I traveled abroad for many years and heard a lot of rumors about treasures and treasure houses." Hei Lu'er sighed softly, "Every ten years or so , one or two will appear, attracting those ambitious guys to fight for these illusory things, causing bloodshed, and even the entire family will be destroyed. I have also seen such tragedies. A lot has been done, but the final result..." He shrugged, "There is only one kind, which is to draw water from a bamboo basket but lose everything, lose the wife and then lose the army." He paused and sighed softly, " Even if it is so tragic, when the next rumor appears again, these people will still flock to it, and they will continue to fall wherever they really fell."
"Driven by profit, we focus on eating rather than fighting." A Piao sneered, "This is human nature, but they never would have thought that the so-called real treasure is actually hidden at the foot of the royal city."
"That's because the real treasures can only be known by yourself, and only the fake ones, or the half-truths, can be allowed to be circulated in the market. Let these true and false things give away those with evil intentions. Fish them out, let them lose their vitality, and let those who know the location of the real treasure know." Hei Lu'er glanced at the young highness, "Those false rumors may be groundless, and they may be people with intentional intentions. The rumors are deliberately spread to protect the real treasure place."
"Xiao Hei is right, that's exactly what it is." His Highness nodded slightly, "There are indeed some rumors that spread from Yiqing Mansion and Wanyan Family. Otherwise, many people would be watching. Yiqing Mansion." She sighed softly, "However, these were all told to me by my sister after I came to Yiqing Mansion and met her, and my sister knew about it from Brother Wang. According to what my sister said, That old bastard doesn’t know anything about it.”
"Huh?" Hei Lu'er was stunned, and exchanged a look with Ah Piao, "The late king didn't know?"
"Yes!" His Highness nodded, "He is not qualified to know this secret."
"Because he is not a serious king?" Seeing His Highness nod again, A Piao sighed, "Your Highness, what is going on with Wangyue Cliff?"
"Don't worry, listen to me slowly." His Highness took a sip of tea, "First of all, I want to explain that this rumor has been passed down by word of mouth for more than a hundred years. What I know now is not necessarily the same. The original appearance of this rumor.”
"We still understand this." Hei Lu'er and A Piao exchanged glances again, "Your Highness, please speak."
"Before I say anything, I want to show you something."
His Highness stood up and walked into the inner room. He heard a clanging sound coming from inside. The two people outside looked at each other and sighed at the same time. Their Highness, look for something. The noise is always like this. Big.
There was a clanging sound inside for a while, and then His Highness came out, taking out a small box and carefully placing it in front of A Piao and Hei Lu'er.
"Your Highness, this is..."
"Look, this is the legendary key that can unlock the treasure."
Hei Luer stopped Ah Piao and opened the small box before her, and a brass key appeared in front of the three of them.
"This..." Taking the handkerchief A Piao handed over, Hei Lu'er used the handkerchief to cushion it, took out the key, and observed it carefully for a while, "Judging from the mottled marks and shape of the key, the time is indeed It's been a long time, so it should be an older thing." He put the key back into the small box and closed it, looking at His Highness and then at Ah Piao, "But what I'm sure of is that this thing can't open that one. The so-called royal treasure.”
