Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.
Chapter 34: King Chen
Yunzhi's eyebrows were furrowed so tightly that they looked like they were about to pinch a fly to death. Cheng Jinchu couldn't help but find it funny.
"I think Shen Yun recognized the bracelet I was wearing."
Cheng Jinchu showed her wrist to Yunzhi the bracelet on her wrist. Yunzhi had seen it before, so she just glanced at it this time.
"I know this bracelet looks expensive, but the gold on the outside of a gold-inlaid jade bracelet is beautiful, so there must be some imitations, right?"
Cheng Jinchu tapped Yunzhi's forehead lightly.
"If you dare to copy it, you'll lose your life!"
Yunzhi touched her forehead and looked at Cheng Jinchu with a wronged look on her face. Cheng Jinchu fiddled with the bracelet on his wrist.
"Do you know the origin of this bracelet?"
Yunzhi shook her head.
"When Sister Jinyi gave the bracelet to the master, she whispered in the master's ear. How could I know?"
"What I'm talking about is something that can be known with a little investigation. It's something that is out in the open."
"If we can find out the answer through an open investigation, then I can listen. Master, please tell me!"
Yunzhi took Cheng Jinchu's hand and acted coquettishly.
"This bracelet was originally given to Madam Mo by the Emperor. Needless to say, the jade bracelet inside was carved from the best jade in the palace, and the style of the gold ornaments outside was designed by the then Third Prince, who later became the Prince of Chen, and given it to the nanny who saved his life, that is, Madam Mo. Tell me, no matter how beautiful the pattern is, it was a gift from the Emperor. Do you dare to imitate it?"
Yunzhi suddenly understood.
"It turns out that this old lady Mo used to work in the palace! And she has such a relationship with Prince Chen.
Master, master, I I I I... I have heard the story of Prince Chen. My mother told me the story.
It caused quite a big fuss at the time. It was said that for a long time after Prince Chen's death, people kept saying that the current emperor had killed his uncle.
It is said that the old emperor left a will, telling his eldest son not to touch his younger brother after he succeeded to the throne, and to give him freedom, because the prince did not like to be restrained. This was also the old emperor's deepest love for his youngest son. "
Cheng Jinchu nodded. There was indeed a big commotion after Prince Chen's death. The rumor that the current emperor killed his uncle for the throne spread throughout the Cang Continent.
Indeed, the reason why the throne fell on the head of the eldest brother, Prince Chen, was simply because the old emperor could not hold on any longer. The old emperor was in poor health and could not wait until his youngest son grew up a little, so he had to choose the eldest prince.
But later, as Prince Chen gradually grew up, he was indeed more loved by the people.
Every advantage of Prince Chen is a great one. First of all, he has an androgynous beauty, and he inherited his father's loyalty.
He also had some success in literature, and his articles can still be found in the bookstores of Han Country.
The God of War truly recognized by the entire Cang Continent. The current God of War General Wang of the Han Kingdom is his apprentice, although General Wang is about the same age as him.
The imperial concubine's eldest son, Xiao Ze, was already middle-aged when he became emperor. He had not been on the throne for many years. After he passed away, his eldest son succeeded him, but he died of illness. His sons fought fiercely for the throne, and all of them died before him. The remaining son was also in poor health and did not survive, so in the end he had no heir to inherit the throne. The position had to be passed on to his brothers, or to his younger uncle, Prince Chen, who was more popular among the people.
Just at this time, news came that Prince Chen, Princess Chen and their son were missing. Finally, the bodies of Prince Chen and Princess Chen were found at the foot of Pingshan Mountain in Pingcheng.
After hearing Yunzhi's words, Cheng Jinchu did not respond immediately. She thought for a moment.
"In fact, I don't think things are that simple, especially in the royal family. Let's not talk about this for now. This bracelet was given by the emperor. I heard Jinyi say that when her grandmother gave it to her, she said that her mother had wanted this bracelet many times but failed. My sister gave the bracelet to me before she left because she was afraid that it would be dangerous. What if she couldn't come back..."
As a result, I almost walked ahead of her, Cheng Jinchu added in his heart.
When Cheng Jinchu first saw the book, she looked at the green tea female character in the book and felt that she could not be combined with her sister who she had been with for so many years. The biggest reason was that although Shen Jinyi was kind, she was not such a tolerant person.
Therefore, Chengzi asked her to insist on following the main plot and the first step was to return to the Shen Mansion. There should be something hidden in the Shen Mansion that her sister wanted, otherwise she would not have chosen to be a maid and come to the Shen Mansion.
Orange is right, those books are presented from the perspective of the victors. In their perspective, Shen Jinyi is the patient, timid and easy-to-bully person. As for tea, this kind of thing is a matter of standing on the opposite side.
At that time, Shen Jinyi came out to investigate the real cause of death of Grandpa Mo, Old Lady and her uncle. She understood the danger behind it, so she gave the bracelet to her and told her about the bracelet because she was afraid of disappointing her grandmother's instructions.
"Also, Yunzhi, do you think it's a coincidence? Although I didn't mention the matter of Old Master Mo before, the news I got was that he died of old age in his sleep.
However, not long after his death, the bodies of Prince Chen and his wife were found at the foot of Pingshan Mountain. Pingshan is in Pingcheng, where the main residence of the Mo family is located.
Not long after the incident with Prince Chen and his wife, the head of the Mo family fell off a cliff. The accident happened only half a year after the old man passed away. Afterwards, the old lady was too sad and died of illness! "
Cheng Jinchu thought about all this news together and she felt like she needed to grow her brain.
"Master, could that bracelet be related to the treasure?"
After listening to Cheng Jinchu's words, Yunzhi thought of the things that needed to be solved first. Cheng Jinchu was staring at the scenery in the courtyard in a daze. After a while, he looked at Yunzhi with a smile and reached out to rub her soft hair.
"No one is sure whether the legendary treasure really exists, but many people have spread the rumor. After all, the wealth of the Mo family is visible to everyone. This bracelet is indeed important. It is very important. It is enough for you to know that it is important."
Yunzhi thought of the key.
"Master, if Shen Yun knew that the bracelet was so important, why did he admit that it was a fake? Our people live next door to the Shen Mansion. They sent a message saying that the Shen Mansion had a big banquet that night. If he wanted the bracelet, he shouldn't have saved you!"
Cheng Jinchu shook his head.
"What a fool! Shen Yun didn't know about it before, and I didn't let him see the bracelet on my hand. It was just that I deliberately let many people see the bracelet on my wrist at the banquet that day, and my wife even came to ask about it because she thought it looked good.
He had never thought that something like that would happen when he attended the banquet for the princess.
However, Shen Yun knew the origin of the bracelet, so it would be impossible for him to get it directly. He had to snatch the bracelet anyway. If he went along with this and killed me, he wouldn't have to take the risk of losing his life and still could get the bracelet.
This Shen Yun thought I was a poor little thing without a backer. If I was caught and faced jail time, I might even die. A normal girl would be scared at this time. If he showed up and said he wanted to save me, he would not care about it. Then my life would be saved. He asked me to give him the bracelet to thank him. Do you think I should give it to him or not?"
Cheng Jinchu lied a little. Shen Yun's identity and status were not that clear to her. The ladies at the flower-viewing banquet asked about the bracelet. She deliberately wore the bracelet in front of Shen Yun when she was at the Shen Mansion.
Before what happened at the flower-viewing banquet, Shen Yun could still think carefully about how to take the bracelet away.
But after it happened, he did have the idea of going with the flow, and he was actually doing so. However, Cheng Jinchu would not let Shen Yun continue his own plan, so the letter that Cheng Jinchu sent specifically to Shen Yun might have some effect.
Yunzhi pouted.
"Even if she is as weak as Sister Jinyi, she will swear to protect the bracelet and won't give it away! What's wrong with being weak? What does it matter if she loses her life for something she cares about?"
Cheng Jinchu smiled and reached out to scratch Yunzhi's nose.
"Little girl, you are smart. Shen Yun would do this, but he doesn't expect his threats to really work. So, there is only the second way, which is to make beheading a foregone conclusion. Anyone who is beheaded will be thrown into a mass grave. Then he will send people to guard there in advance and take the bracelet away..."
"is that so?"
Yunzhi thought carefully. During this time, Cheng Jinchu did not interrupt her. He just sat beside her and drank tea leisurely.
After a long time, Yunzhi suddenly reacted.
"Master, you are kidding me again! How could it be so smooth? That bracelet looks so expensive. After all, he is going to be executed. There must be other people eyeing his valuables. Before Shen Yun could make a move, someone took it away. Shen Yun's official position is not high, so it is impossible for him to plant someone in the prison."
Cheng Jinchu was very pleased that the little girl would think carefully about the problem.
"Little girl, have you forgotten what I said before? This bracelet was given by the emperor. The emperor gave us many things as rewards, but only this is a very detailed record. The original draft drawn by His Royal Highness Prince Chen at that time was preserved, and some of the noble families know about this."
Cheng Jinchu didn't finish his words and waited for Yunzhi to take over. The little girl supported her head with her hands with an excited look on her face, looking at Cheng Jinchu eagerly as if she was listening to the story.
"Besides, it doesn't matter if someone had snatched the bracelet in advance. Shen Yun would have reported it to me, saying that I had robbed the old lady of the Mo family of her bracelet. But after the execution, there was no trace of the bracelet on the body. You said that the bracelet was still there when I was arrested, so how did it disappear afterwards?
It was a gift from the Emperor, and not everyone knew about it. At the time, I just thought I got a bargain, got such a good bracelet, but in the end, I even lost my life!"
Yunzhi felt there were still loopholes.
"Shouldn't the Mo family's things be returned to the Mo family?"
