After rebirth, the empress was spoiled by the emperor's uncle like a little girl
Chapter 540 She, the Charcoal Stick Gu
Pei Guichen didn't know that her soul had been trapped for fifty years.
She knew very well which Jiangnan wealthy families were involved with Pei Guichen.
However, if you want to get rid of those who have defected to the Pei family, the most important thing is speed.
Once Pei Guichen came to his senses, she had lost the initiative.
On this side, Abao drank some hot ginseng tea to calm himself down.
On the other side, Liu Ruyi brought in the second treasure.
In the top floor box, Xuan Ji was curious: "Why do you insist on giving the invitation to the Xu family?"
The Xu family prospered in their early years, but later declined and never recovered.
The Xu family received the invitation just for fun.
Xuanji pondered: "Could it be that you have already guessed that the frail and reclusive Master Xu would make a stunning debut if he did not make a name for himself?"
"Because, for the invitation, I used medicine." Abao murmured.
When she looked at the flower stand again, the bidding for the second treasure had ended.
The head of the Shen family spent nine million taels to win the bid in one fell swoop, which aroused envy.
Liu Ruyi smiled even more deeply. After three hammers, the deal was finalized. Seeing the real money coming into the account, she ordered the maid beside her to deliver the treasures to the Shen family's box.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Ruyi finally brought out the third treasure that everyone was looking forward to.
The exquisite bronze mirror gathers light from eight directions, all shining onto the flower stand.
It was a square box made of pure gold.
There are four layers of mechanisms outside, firmly locking the box.
It is the size of a little finger and resembles a small stick of charcoal.
At first glance, it looks ordinary and unpretentious.
Even in the homes of the wealthy guests present, braziers can be seen at any time during the winter.
The entire Yueqin Island suddenly fell silent.
Liu Ruyi looked around the entire Yueqin Island, glanced at the top floor box inconspicuously, and then announced as A Bao had instructed in advance: "There is no reserve price, no upper price, please do your best and have a good time."
Figures in each box were whispering, but no one held up a sign.
The heads of the four families, Shen, He, Tao and Lu, all had the same idea.
What is so special about this piece of charcoal stick?
According to the news that had previously spread from the Gold Cave, there was a medicine that could bring the dead back to life.
Such temptation is irresistible to the human heart.
But, a piece of charcoal?
Really, it's too unbelievable.
At the same time, in the box on the top floor, Abao remained silent.
In her previous life, she died tragically under seven soul-suppressing nails.
Pei Guichen, who was reborn, should have known the secret in the secret page, and knew better than anyone where to find the seven soul-soothing nails.
But why is Pei Guichen still obsessed with opening the stone statue of Kai Jiang?
Wherever A Bao's eyes fell, the Xu family's box on the fourth floor also fell into silence.
As the light flowed, she clenched her hands silently.
Until she accidentally opened the Qi Jiang stone statue and saw the secret in the gold foil page, which was the whereabouts of the seven soul-soothing nails.
Only then did she realize that Pei Guichen had to open the stone statue of Kai Jiang for the charcoal stick.
That was what Pei Guichen needed to kill her.
At the same time, in the Xu family's box.
The old butler was puzzled: "Young Master, why do you care so much about that charcoal stick?"
The young man in white robe stroked his left wrist which was wrapped in gauze.
In his previous life, after he used the Xuanyuan bloodline to open the stone statue of Kaijiang, he learned the secret and whereabouts of the seven soul-soothing nails, as well as the purpose of the Yin-Yang bronze coffin.
But the whereabouts of the seven soul-soothing nails is only the first step.
If one wants to complete the secret method that the old man Yuan Chenji mentioned, the seven soul-calming nails must complement the bronze coffin, and the poisonous liquid can help the soul-calming nails close the coffin.
In the previous life, according to Yuan Chenji, the only remaining poisonous insect in the world was raised by Queen Qi Jiang, and then half of it was made into a gold foil page, which was preserved for hundreds of years.
The poisonous liquid he used to kill Abao was made from the secret pages of gold foil by the old man using his secret method.
However, in this life, the secret gold foil page was destroyed by Po.
Thinking of this, the young man in white robe looked from the golden box to the box on the top floor.
When word spread in the brothel that a drug could bring the dead back to life, he guessed it was the remaining half of a charcoal stick.
What I saw before my eyes was indeed as it was.
The white-robed gentleman's expression became colder.
No matter what the relationship between Abao and Narakshasa Buddha is.
He must get this piece of charcoal tonight.
What broke the silence of Yueqin Island was a golden candle burning in the Xu family's box.
The Hu family box, which had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly followed closely.
The lighting of two golden candles instantly pushed the atmosphere to the breaking point.
Although they didn't understand what was so special about this small piece of charcoal stick, the fact that the Xu and Hu families lit golden candles one after another and bid so high was enough to make the other family heads wonder secretly.
The two treasures mentioned above are indeed rare in the world.
Then the charcoal stick that appeared last might have some hidden secrets that they were not aware of yet.
But the price is so high.
If they want to bid, they have to think carefully.
In the end, only the head of the Shen family raised the sign.
When he was extremely nervous, Abao looked towards the Hu family's box.
The curtains were slightly drawn, and a woman in a plain white robe stood by the window.
The figure was quiet and elegant.
It turned out to be Bai Cha, the younger sister of her concubine, Bai Zhe, the Crown Prince of Jialuo.
Suddenly, Bai Cha's autumn eyes hidden behind the veil looked over.
Even though there was a curtain between them, she felt strangely like she was being treated as a prey.
Po rubbed his temples with a headache and thought back to what happened a month ago.
When Jialuo's merchant ship was robbed by pirates, she sent her navy to help.
Unexpectedly, the merchant ship belonged to the Garo Royal Chamber of Commerce, and the Garo princess was on board.
Jialuo has always been on good terms with Daqi. In order to avoid difficulties for the Honglu Temple, she properly settled Baicha on the Dafulou ship. However, Baicha still fell ill for a long time due to acclimatization.
Later, the Jialuo merchant ship was rushing back after delivering goods, but was hijacked by the Shark Whale Army.
Used to pick up Pei Guichen who fled in panic.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, she pretended to set off back to the imperial capital and sent white tea back to Jialuo.
Why does white tea appear in Jiangnan at this time and place?
And replaced the Hu family?
Even the scouts she sent to follow Bai Cha had no news?
A Bao was full of doubts, and Hong Xiu came hurriedly to report.
"Xiao Jianghe has arrived as promised."
"Your Highness, would you like to see me right away?"
