Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

It's just a tablet, why hide it?

It's okay to hide it, why do you want to return it secretly?

The most important thing is, with so many tablets, why did you choose the tablet of the late emperor?

Questions popped up in Li Ji's mind one after another.

His fingers began to caress the tablet unconsciously.

My fingertips were accidentally pricked by something, and it hurt a little.

Li Ji paused.

He looked down at his thumb, where a little red blood slowly emerged from the pricked area of ​​the fingertip.

The line of sight moved to the tablet.

At this time, the sky was dark and it was not very clear.

Li Ji asked someone to bring the lantern over.

He took advantage of the dim light emitted by the lantern to take a closer look at the tablet of the late emperor.

It was accidentally discovered that there was a little barb on the edge of the tablet.

The first emperor's tablet was polished and then painted many times, so it is impossible for there to be such things as barbs.

Li Ji's eyes gradually became dark.

He glanced at Bian Ziming and Chen Wangbei, and said in mono.

"It's none of your business here, go get busy with your business."

Bian Ziming and Chen Wangbei knew that King Zhao was trying to drive people away on purpose, so they didn't dare to ask more questions, and walked away obediently.

There is no one else around here, only Li Ji is left.

He took out the dagger he carried with him and brought the blade close to where the barb appeared.

If anyone else was here, they would definitely jump up and stop King Zhao when they saw this scene. Deliberately destroying the tablet of the first emperor is disrespectful, and they will lose their heads!

Li Ji didn't care about these.

The tip of the knife slid gently against the tablet.

Li Ji stopped immediately when he felt the tip of the knife pause slightly.

He pressed down on the blade with more force.

The thin blade was inserted into the tablet with force, and a gap appeared on the side of the tablet.

Li Ji narrowed his eyes.

It turns out that there is a secret compartment hidden in this tablet.

He took apart the tablet and saw that the hidden compartment was empty.

Someone took great pains to hide a secret compartment in the tablet of the first emperor, it must be to hide a very important thing.

But now there is nothing in the secret compartment.

It can only mean that the things that were originally hidden in the dark compartment were taken away.

Li Ji restored the tablet to its original state and put it back on the incense case.

Now that all the memorial tablets have been found, Li Ji ordered to withdraw his troops and return to Beijing.

——That's why King Zhao came back so late.

After listening to King Zhao's narration, Hua Manman couldn't help asking.

"Who would hide something in the tablet of the first emperor?"

The tablet of the first emperor will go through layers of inspection from production to completion. If there is a hidden grid in the tablet, the problem will be discovered when the Ministry of Industry checks and accepts it. It is absolutely impossible for a problematic tablet to be placed in the Taimiao.

Immortal Feihe pondered, "Was the tablet of the late emperor ever exchanged?"

Li Ji: "No, the handwriting on the tablet of the first emperor was written by the saint himself, so it is difficult to imitate exactly the same.

Moreover, the wood used to make the tablet is extremely special, it is a tribute specially provided to the royal family, and it can only be found in the private treasury of the saint. "

Unless the emperor personally imitated a tablet, there would be no second identical tablet of the first emperor in the world.

In other words, there is one tablet for the first emperor from the beginning to the end, and there is no possibility of exchange.

The status of a person who can tamper with the tablet of the first emperor must be very difficult.

Things are getting more and more complicated.

Hua Manman felt that her little head was almost exhausted.

Just then, dinner was ready.

The topic is temporarily over.

The three of them went to the dining hall for dinner.

After eating and drinking enough, it was already very late, and the three of them went back to their houses to rest.

Because of Li Ji's arm injury, when Hua Manman lay down on the bed, he deliberately kept a distance from him, lest she accidentally touch his wound after falling asleep.

Hua Manman covered the quilt, turned to look at King Zhao, and found that he was distracted.

She stretched out her little paw and shook it twice in front of his eyes.

"What is your lord thinking?"

Li Ji came back to his senses, pinched her paw, and said what he was thinking about.

"I guessed before that the collapse of the Taimiao might not be a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.

Facts have proved that I guessed correctly, the Taimiao was probably collapsed artificially, in order to steal something while taking advantage of the chaos. "

Something he said should be something hidden in the tablet of the first emperor.

"I once asked my grandmother if there was any treasure hidden in the Taimiao.

She said that apart from the ancestral tablets, there is nothing that can be called a treasure in the Taimiao. "

Who would have thought that someone would tamper with the tablet of the late emperor?

It's no wonder that the Taimiao is repaired every year, but no one has ever discovered the existence of that thing.

Because no matter what kind of renovation method it is, no one would dare to touch the ancestral tablet.

Hua Manman yawned: "In order to steal something, I didn't hesitate to destroy the Taimiao. The price is too high."

Li Ji: "This further shows how important the thing that was stolen is."

Seeing Manman's sleepy look, he stopped talking and stroked her hair.

"Go to sleep."

Hua Manman rubbed her cheek against the soft pillow, and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to tell the saint what happened tonight?"

Li Ji asked back: "What do you think?"

Hua Manman thought for a while before saying.

"Better tell the saint.

Although Bian Ziming is one of your subordinates, he may not deceive the saint because of you.

To be on the safe side, you'd better tell the truth.

It is much better to be proactive and honest than to be forced to confess. "

Li Ji smiled: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

He may not have missed what Manman said, but he still wanted to see how she tried to advise him, she was very cute.

...

The next morning, Li Ji went to the palace to return to his command.

"Weichen has already found all the tablets of the saints of the past dynasties."

The emperor's spirit didn't look very good, as if he didn't sleep well last night, and his face was obviously tired.

He rubbed the corner of his forehead and asked, "Aren't the tablets of the ancestors damaged?"

Li Ji answered truthfully: "No."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

He noticed that King Zhao was hesitant to speak, and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, you don't need to be shy in front of me."

Li Ji: "Wei Chen found a person in the Taimiao last night..."

He told what happened after he discovered Xu Yi.

He didn't mention that he had discovered the secret hidden in the tablet of the first emperor, but how smart is the emperor? Immediately realized that Xu Yi might have come for the ancestral tablet.

The emperor got up immediately and went to the Taimiao himself.

After some tidying up, the Taimiao looks cleaner than yesterday, but the damaged walls are still there, and it is still dilapidated and desolate.

The emperor went straight to the side hall where the tablet was stored.

Among the pile of tablets, he accurately found the tablet of the first emperor.

After some careful inspection, the emperor discovered the secret compartment hidden in the tablet.

He looked at the empty dark space, he didn't know what he thought of, his eyes became colder a little bit, and the knuckles holding the tablet were faintly white because of too much force.
