Song Liu felt that he was really wronged.

"I never thought that this thing could be found. I have carefully hidden it for so many years, and I still can't figure out why my father left these behind."

He didn't want to get involved in these major events of treason and collusion with the enemy. He just wanted to maintain the influence of his ancestors.

"Grandfather was smart all his life, so why did he give birth to a fool like you? Do you have anything else to say about your grandfather's last words?"

Cang Min regretted that he did not come to visit his stupid uncle before the trial. If he had known everything at that time, he would have prevented it from happening.

Oh! Can he stop it?

Link by link, buckle by buckle, the little woman's design was flawless, waiting to pull everyone into the big net she had woven long ago.

Thinking of the white figure, his heart couldn't stop aching.

Why could he accept Cangyu being by her side, but he couldn't?

They are both sons of the Emperor.

They all have a blood feud with her.

He covered his aching heart and looked impatiently at the person in front of him who was like a pile of mud.

"Do you have anything else to explain?"

"Yes, there is one more thing. I have been thinking about it for a long time but have not said it."

Song Liu said softly.

"what?"

Cang Min's eyes are as sharp as the wind.

There is actually a hidden story?

"Yes, there is one thing that I didn't dare to take out. Even His Majesty doesn't know about this thing. It was your grandfather's instruction that he would leave it to you in the end. Uncle, I beg you, uncle, I beg you, use this thing in exchange for your care for the Song Mansion, okay?"

Song Liu knelt on the ground, holding Cang Min's legs.

He knew that his nephew's character was exactly the same as his father's, and they both had strong judgment.

He wanted to grasp this last hope. Even if he couldn't save him, it would be good at least to preserve a trace of the Song family's bloodline.

Cang Min calmed his mind and stared at Song Liu.

"What? You know, this matter has been exposed. It is not easy to save the Song family."

"Yes! I know, I know."

Song Liu got up tremblingly and sat on the ground.

He has been tortured to the point of exhaustion these days.

He knew that his death was imminent, but if the Song Mansion could still be saved, he would fight to the last breath.

"Before he died, my father said that he left these things behind because one day, if you fail to become emperor, you will have the opportunity to gain greater wealth, and then you may be able to try again. This is his last effort for you and me."

He tremblingly took off his outer coat, the official uniform that was already dirty and messy.

Cang Min looked at him coldly, unsure of what he was doing.

After a moment, he tore open the lining of his robe and took out a black sign with both hands.

"what is this?"

Cang Min asked doubtfully.

"Father said this is the key to the secret treasure room."

"What? What secret treasure room?"

Cang Min widened his eyes, grabbed Song Liu's shoulders and stared at him.

"Tell me everything you know carefully, don't miss a word."

"Okay! When your grandfather was dying, he said that one reason why the Dongbohou Mansion must be destroyed was to avenge your aunt, but the more important reason was that the Beiyan royal family brought a piece of news. There are orphans left in the royal family of the previous dynasty, who may have drifted to Dongcang. Dongbohou and his son may know about it, and he must force them to tell him the news."

"Orphans of the previous dynasty? What orphans of the previous dynasty? The previous Lan Dynasty has been destroyed for thirty years. The four countries have divided up their land and political power. Even if there are orphans of the previous dynasty, what waves can they cause?"

Cang Min was very puzzled.

"It's not about revival, it's about the orphans of the previous dynasty and a secret."

Under Cang Min's gaze, Song Liu knelt down and took a few steps back to calm himself down.

"What secret?"

Cang Min was a little excited.

"Father doesn't know the details, but General Shi Hai of Beiyan said in a letter that the emperor of the previous dynasty left behind a treasure house located underground in the palace of the previous dynasty.

The way to open the door to the treasury is to collect four key cards, but only the bloodline of the royal family of the previous dynasty can open it.

Therefore, the emperors of the four countries agreed at that time that each of them would hold one of the four key plates, and as for the royal bloodline of the previous dynasty, whoever found it could get half of the share.

This matter was only known to the emperors of the four countries, and all others who knew about it were slaughtered. "

"Oh? This sign is one of them?

Cang Min frowned, he really didn't know about this.

"Yes, this is the key token of Beiyan that Emperor Beiyan asked someone to send to him."

"How did it end up in Grandfather's hands?"

Cang Min was very surprised.

Such an important thing is actually in the Song Mansion.

“This is the bargaining chip that Emperor Beiyan uses to exchange for the lives of the father and son of the Dongbo Marquisate.

Emperor Beiyan used his key to exchange the lives of Dong Bohou and his son and the three lost cities, which represented the right to distribute one quarter of the wealth.

At that time, your grandfather mentioned this exchange condition to His Majesty, but His Majesty had already decided to get rid of him as soon as possible, and did not insist on getting the key card before replying to Bei Yan. Seeing that the matter had been settled, your grandfather withheld the key card, thinking of giving it to you one day.

If you successfully ascend the throne, you will get two keys and half of the treasures of the previous dynasty.

If you fail to reach the summit, as long as you survive, the value of this key will give you enough capital to restore your throne one day."

Cang Min stroked the shiny black plate and suddenly felt hot.

His grandfather tried his best to find a job for him, but unfortunately, his uncle held them back.

He remembered that the last time his father deposed the crown prince, he had talked to him and vaguely said that the royal families of the four countries had a common secret that could only be passed on to the crown prince, but he had never been optimistic about Cang Xun and had not told him yet.

Is that the secret?

"Isn't Father suspicious since he didn't show me the key card?"

"There were two messages at the time, and Your Majesty may have only paid attention to the other one and ignored the key card."

"What's the other one?"

"General Shi Hai of Beiyan sent a message saying that the orphan of the previous dynasty might be living among the people. He once appeared at the border between Beiyan and Dongcang. Perhaps the father and son of Dongbohou on the battlefield might know the information. Your Majesty must find out. They agreed that if the orphan of the previous dynasty is captured, Beiyan and Dongcang can get most of the treasures."

"Who is the orphan of the previous dynasty?"

“I don’t know. This is also the reason why your majesty and father insisted on putting Dong Bohou and his son in jail.

That night, my father and Prime Minister Yun entered the prison on behalf of His Majesty and interrogated Baili Xian and his son. The purpose was to interrogate them about the whereabouts of the orphans of the previous dynasty.

I don’t know if they really didn’t know, or if they would never speak up until their death. After a night of questioning, there was no result. There was no room for maneuver between the king and his subjects, so they were forced to drink poisoned wine on the spot. What happened next was exactly what I said yesterday.”

Cang Min pondered for a long time.

Qianyou should not be aware of these things, right?

Otherwise, why wasn't it mentioned yesterday?

The white figure and the calm and determined face appeared in his mind again.
