After time travel, my best friend and I exchanged supplies and became a rich woman

"Grand Empress Dowager," Chen Dongyue, who wanted the world to be destroyed, looked at Jun Lan who was looking at her blankly, and had to take on the responsibility of raising some small questions as an adult, "Since you don't know what this pair of jade pendants are used for, then... how do you know that these two things should be put together?"

“This~~~~~” The Empress Dowager finally raised her head and said calmly: “Back then, the late emperor… cough cough cough cough cough!”

The Empress Dowager almost choked to death on a mouthful of bird's nest soup.

After a long while, the old lady stopped coughing.

She pointed at Min Shanggong and said angrily: "Who told you to put the jade pendant together like this?!"

"I am an old and stupid servant," said Lady Min, who was frightened and quickly bowed her head to admit her fault. "Please punish me, Grand Empress Dowager."

"It's really.......Ah!"

The Empress Dowager sighed, then stacked the two jade pendants that were originally placed flat together, and said, "This is how it should be placed!"

Isn't this just...

Yin-Yang Meteor Hammer, has it become Yin-Yang Ladle?

Looking at it this way, I can't see what's the point.

Chen Dongyue asked in confusion: "Grand Empress Dowager, why don't you try to recall it again? Since this thing is so important, there must be some explanation, right? Is it because it has been too long that you have forgotten some...important clues?

For example, when the late emperor presented these jade pendants to General Lin as rewards, did he say anything special about them?

Or...did General Lin ever tell me whether this pair of jade pendants has any special meaning?"

"This jade pendant..." The Empress Dowager's eyes began to become blank, as if she was lost in her memories.

Even his voice began to become a little long, "In fact, it is not our Darong Dynasty's stuff.

This thing was obtained by Lin Hongze after he robbed... and raided the Beiyi royal family's treasure house...

Eh?! I remember now, this pair of jade pendants, when put together, is the key to a treasure house!

When Lin Hongze obtained the gold and silver from the treasury, he presented the key to the late emperor.

Yes, yes, yes, I remember it. That day was the day before the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. When the late emperor invited General Lin to the palace for an audience, I was tasting the mooncakes sent from the imperial kitchen with the late emperor.

I don’t like mooncakes with lotus seed paste filling, and the emperor doesn’t like those with red bean filling, so the mooncakes sent by the imperial kitchen that day were filled with date paste!

The mooncakes with jujube paste fillings must be filled with pine nuts grown in the north, so that they taste good.”

Seeing that the topic was about to go off topic again, Chen Dongyue immediately reminded: "Grand Empress Dowager, since these two jade pendants together are the key to the treasure house, do you know where the treasure house is?"

"Treasure house?" The Empress Dowager said as if it was a matter of course, "Of course the late emperor took it away. It's been decades, and the rewards and gifts are long gone."

............

Help.

When will this world end?

When Chen Dongyue heard that the treasure house was gone, he just wanted to sit down on the ground and had no desire to continue asking questions.

Fortunately, Jun Lan hadn't given up yet. "Who does this pair of jade pendants belong to now?"

The treasure house was gone anyway, so there was no point in thinking about it. Jun Lan decided to seize everything in front of her. "Since I am Master Wen's aunt, why don't I keep this pair of jade pendants?"

After saying this, she looked at the Empress Dowager with a pleading look.

The Empress Dowager said mysteriously, "Don't worry, I remember everything now!

When Chongning asked me before, I only remembered that this thing was important, but I was still a little confused as to how it was important.

Everything has been sorted out now. Just listen to me and I will tell you slowly.

When General Lin gave the late emperor the key to the treasure house, the late emperor did accept it.

But later, after sending people to search... no, take away the things in the treasury, the late emperor returned the key to the treasury to General Lin."

Chen Dongyue didn’t understand, what was the meaning of the walnut shell after the kernel had been eaten?

Then the Empress Dowager continued, "However, when the pair of jade pendants were awarded to General Lin, there were two other people beside the late emperor.

One was Meng Yangzhou, the Hanlin Academy Hanlin at that time and the current Left Prime Minister.

The other one is Zhuo Wei, the inspector of the Imperial Observatory.

Although this person no longer works in the Imperial Observatory, he still has a great influence among the people.

In order to allow Lin Hongze to fight in the north with peace of mind, the late emperor specially took care of Meng Yangzhou and Zhuo Wei when rewarding him with the jade pendant.

They said that in the future, as long as General Lin’s children took the pair of jade pendants to ask them for help, as long as it did not violate the law, they would help them.

Otherwise, it would be disobedience."

At this point, the Empress Dowager paused, then looked at Chen Dongyue, lowered her head and asked Jun Lan, "So, do you understand?"

Jun Lan turned to look at Chen Dongyue with a confused look on his face.

Chen Dongyue understood what he heard.

But she still had a question.

"But Empress Dowager, I am thinking, after all, the late emperor has passed away for many years. What if the left prime minister and that Mr. Zhuo Wei... refuse to admit their guilt?"

The Empress Dowager was stunned by Chen Dongyue's question.

Meanwhile, Min Shang Gong, who was standing next to him, quietly reminded Chen Dongyue, "Director Chen, the emperor's daily life is all recorded by the eunuchs in the daily records, and no one dares to deny it."

what.

An ancient human-shaped camera!

awesome.

Chen Dongyue nodded repeatedly and said, "That's good, that's good. But Empress Dowager, I still have something I don't understand."

"Don't ask." The Empress Dowager didn't want to be ruined by stupid questions.

She wasn't in a good mood to begin with.

So Chen Dongyue could only purse his lips and swallow the question.

Forget it, the old lady doesn’t want to say it, so she will go ask Ji Chongning later.

After all, Ji Chongning wouldn't just talk about killing people.

After basically everything was said and done, the Empress Dowager waved her hand and asked the mother and daughter to go back.

However, she also instructed the mother and daughter to go back and pack their things and move into Prince Kang's mansion tomorrow.

Although Ji Chongning is General Lin's grandson, strictly speaking, he can only be considered General Lin's grandson, not his child.

So Lin Junlan is now the only bloodline of General Lin left in this world.

Therefore, only she could use the pair of jade pendants to ask Meng Yangzhou and the man named Zhuo Wei to choose sides.

Under such circumstances, the Empress Dowager naturally did not want to see Lin Junlan make any mistakes.

As for Chen Dongyue, she was naturally Lin Junlan's companion.

Although Chen Dongyue didn't want to live in Prince Kang's Mansion, she couldn't refuse the Empress Dowager's request.

So she boldly suggested that she could live in the palace with Jun Lan, but she also had to have certain freedom of movement.

The Empress Dowager agreed without a second thought.

Then, Chen Dongyue suggested that she wanted to bring her mother-in-law along.

The Empress Dowager asked her, "Why don't you ask your whole family to live in the palace?"

Chen Dongyue said in a silly way: "Is it okay?"

The Empress Dowager ended the conversation with a single word: "Get lost".

When the mother and daughter were escorted out of the palace by Min Shanggong, Chen Dongyue asked Min Shanggong why the man named Zhuo Wei, since he was no longer an inspector of the Imperial Observatory, still had such a great influence.

Min Shanggong said: "After Zhuo Wei left the Imperial Observatory, he shaved his head and became a monk.

Today it is the largest imperial temple in the capital, Yongding Zen Temple, and its abbot is Shi Neng.

People who want to see him explain the scriptures have to wait in line for three years. Even our emperor is often turned away by Master Shi Neng. "

........

The Imperial Observatory certified him and he became a monk.

Really... so imaginative.

Chen Dongyue nodded and said "awesome" several times to express her sincere admiration.
