Wishful Things

When the lock is removed, the long box is also opened.

Lying quietly inside it, which has been hidden in the darkness for an unknown number of years in this mausoleum, is a roll of bright yellow silk embroidered with dragon and auspicious cloud patterns.

Wu Chao was very surprised.

It was an oracle.

And it is an oracle, and it is hidden here by the eldest princess...

He already had a judgment in his mind.

Xu Mingyi took the long box and hugged it in front of him, motioning him to unfold the silk to read.

The young man's slender fingers slowly opened the scroll.

Xu Mingyi also moved his gaze closer.

That's right, this is it.

Once this is shown to the people of the world, it will definitely cause great waves, and the last imperial edict written by the first emperor——

After reading the words written on it without missing a word, Wu Chao said after a moment of silence, "This thing is still there."

Previously, I recalled that I heard Zhaozhao say that there was indeed a will, but it had already fallen into the hands of the emperor, and it must have been destroyed in the end.

"There are two copies." Xu Mingyi said: "The late emperor was prepared and left two copies of the same will."

Have you been prepared?

Hearing these four words, Wu Chao couldn't tell what kind of feeling he felt, he had nothing to feel wronged or unfair. He had never met the late emperor, and had no impression of this grandfather, so naturally he couldn't even talk about any resentment——

But his biological mother, his biological father, and the empress dowager, where did the injustice they encountered and everything they experienced in these years come from?

He looked at the portrait of the first emperor, and the eyebrows and eyes painted on him seemed to be looking at him, and the eyes were upright and gentle, and seemed to have endless pity.

Wu Chao's heart suddenly became calm.

Winners and losers, regardless of past reasons, deceitful calculations, or using broken promises, losers are lost.

If you suffer, you will develop a memory, if you have a grudge, you will avenge it, if you want it, you will get it back, if you need justice, you will fight for it. Only when you have won the fight can you define what is fair by yourself.

When Wu Chao retracted his gaze from the portrait of the late emperor, he landed on the silk in his hand.

This edict carried the heavy past of too many people, and even countless lives that once existed in this world.

All disputes begin here, and all disputes will end here.

Even without this will, they would still win in the end. But with this edict, the people of the world can be preserved, and there is no need to go to war again.

Therefore, at this moment, the meaning of this will is not to protect the father, but to protect the people of Daqing.

Wu Chao closed the silk again and handed it to Xu Mingyi.

Xu Mingyi put it back into the box and said to him, "I will keep it well."

The edict is shown by the eldest princess, and the persuasion will be the greatest.

"Let's go."

Xu Mingyi held his hand.

There was warmth in Wu Chao's heart, and his cold eyes softened.

He knew that this was silent comfort.

No matter how strong a person is, even if he is like his father, he has supported everything in Mizhou all these years, and built an iron-like defense in the north, so that foreigners dare not invade easily; guarding against the emperor's murderous intentions and surveillance day and night, still Everything was arranged in the dark, but the pain deep in my heart never went away for a day.

People always need the comfort of those close to them, and only the comfort of those close to them will be useful.

The girl beside him clasped his ten fingers, and the moment she stepped out of the palace gate, she said softly: "The days are still long, in the future, let's honor the Queen Mother and His Highness the King of Yan together."

Wu Chao couldn't help turning his head to look at her.

It turned out that she could feel it...

Know why his mood fluctuates just now, know all his thoughts.

He held the girl's hand even tighter, and his heart was touched, but he didn't know what to say for a while, but when she also looked over, a smile appeared in his eyes unconsciously, and he said stupidly One sentence: "Zhao Zhao, thank you."

He knew it sounded a little insincere, and he never knew his words could be so lacking.

"Thank you, my elders are also respectable elders, shouldn't filial piety be appropriate."

home...

Well, it's my home.

Wu Chao couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Why are you smirking." Seeing his appearance, Xu Mingyi found it quite funny, turned his head slightly and raised his chin to signal him to work quickly.

Wu Chao didn't understand for a while, so he asked "Ah?" in doubt.

"Ah what..." Xu Mingyi smiled and shook off his hand, pointing to the palace door: "Close the door."

A good person, why suddenly become stupid?

The boy came back to his senses, nodded with a smile, and then went to close and lock the temple door.

Afterwards, the key was sent back, and after tidying up all the traces, the two left the mausoleum.

The two talked about their future plans while walking, Xu Mingyi estimated the time, and said: "I have to go back quickly, if the palace people get up at dawn later, they will definitely be discovered."

Now is not the time to sit down and gossip.

Wu Chao nodded: "Be careful."

"You too, if you really encounter any trouble, ask the hidden guards to look for me at the Ming Censor's Office."

The girl has an attitude of "call me if you have any difficulties, and I will try to protect you".

Wu Chao replied "Okay" warmly, looked into her eyes, and couldn't help saying one more thing: "Zhao Zhao, thank you for all of this."

His words tonight are really lacking to a certain extent.

Even if he said thank you, it would inevitably seem a little self-righteous, as if everything she did was for him, he knew it wasn't, or it wasn't all, she had a family, a country, a country, and people in her heart.

But he is also one of the people in the world, and he has also received her favor.

Even as an ordinary person, I should say thank you.

This is not a thank you for the love between men and women.

He thought, Zhao Zhao must understand.

Xu Mingyi smiled, but his eyes were serious: "Then I should also thank you."

Without Wu Chao, without the Wu family and King Yan, it would be unrealistic for her to accomplish this.

On a bigger scale, no one of them is for the other, but they are walking side by side for the same goal, supporting each other and complementing each other.

"When this matter is over, let's go to the Zhuangyuan Building, and the West Market...have a good meal, and we should thank each other." She said jokingly, with real expectations in her eyes.

It is because of those long-lost delicacies, but most importantly, it must be the delicacy under the sign of peace.

Wu Chao nodded: "Okay, then we will eat all over the entire capital."

He added with a smile: "It's not just the capital—"

"Hmm!" Xu Mingyi nodded his head heavily, his clear eyes flickering.

"Chirp!"

Tianmu flaps its wings and jumps its feet - don't forget to bring it!

...

On the day of the sacrifice, before dawn, Xu Mingyi knocked out an inner eunuch who was ordered to invite Ming Yushi.

She changed into the eunuch's clothes and slightly changed her appearance.

Then, seemingly leading the way for Ming Yushi, he left the courtyard with him.

Goodnight everybody.
