A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu

The old monk looked at Xiao An Wang and Lin Qingyang, nodded and said, "Is this the descendant of the Wang family?"

"Wang family?" Xiao An Wang and Lin Qingyang were stunned.

"Yes, the Queen Mother's family, the Wang family." Qing Guogong said.

The old monk nodded and then asked, "Have you brought everything?"

Prince An took out two halves of a jade pendant from his bosom and handed them to the old monk.

The old monk turned around with the jade in his hand, "Follow me."

He led them forward and came to the Buddha statue. The old monk bowed first and then came to the wall behind the Buddha statue. There was a door there, but it could not be seen without careful observation.

The old monk pushed the door open and walked in. There was a small space inside, like a vegetable storage cellar.

The old monk fumbled around on the wall again, and finally put the two halves of the jade together, placed them on the wall, and a door opened.

There was something like a millstone inside the door, with only two grooves on it. Next to the "millstone" was a dagger.

The old monk handed the dagger to Xiao An Wang, glanced at Lin Qingyang again, and said, "You two are members of the Wang family. Cut your fingers and drip the blood into the two grooves."

Prince Xiao An first cut his own finger, and then cut Lin Qingyang's finger. After the two of them dripped blood onto the "stone mill", they waited to see the changes on it.

After a while, the "stone mill" started moving and a small box appeared underneath.

Prince An looked at the box, then at Duke Qing and the old monk. He saw them both nod and motion for him to pick up the box.

The keyhole of the box was unique and had a strange shape. Prince Xiao An suddenly thought of something and looked at Lin Qingyang. Lin Qingyang also understood, took off the hairpin on her head and handed it to Prince Xiao An, and the box was opened.

There are two keys and two maps in the box...

After coming out of the temple, Duke Qing and Prince Xiao'an and his wife walked down the mountain. There were not many people going down the mountain at this time, and the road seemed much quieter.

Xiao Anwang and Lin Qingyang's fingers were wrapped.

"Duke, I guess you are also very familiar with this old monk, right?" asked Prince An.

"I was familiar with him when I was young, but I haven't seen him for a long time." Duke Qing replied.

"This mechanism is also very complicated. The designer must be a master." Lin Qingyang asked.

"He was indeed a master, but he is no longer with us."

"How come that millstone-like thing is so magical that it can identify whether someone is a descendant of the Wang family?" King Xiao An asked the biggest question.

Duke Qing looked at Prince An who was holding up his finger in disbelief, "Who told you that it can identify the descendants of the Wang family?"

Xiao An Wang paused, "Didn't the old monk tell me that we are descendants of the Wang family, so he let me cut my finger?"

"Hahaha, if the Wang family has no descendants, then the mechanism will be useless, right?" Duke Qing laughed.

"Ah? Then anyone can cut their finger?" asked Little King An.

Duke Qing bent over, squinted his eyes, and looked at Prince Xiao An, "To get your things, do you want me and that monk to cut our fingers?" After saying that, he walked down the mountain with a smile.

Little Prince An was just marveling at the magic of the technique, thinking that the "stone mill" could really distinguish people, and it turned out that anyone's blood could be used. He could only look helpless.

Looking at the appearance of little Prince An, Lin Qingyang also laughed. She also thought it was a magical "stone mill" just now.

I just saw two maps clearly in the secret room of the temple. The address marked on one map was in the capital, while the address marked on the other map was in Jiangbei Town, a small town in the south of the Yangtze River famous for its scenery and also for its collection of books.

When they came, Lin Qingyang and Prince Xiao An rode in a horse-drawn carriage. When they went back, Lin Qingyang rode in the carriage alone, while Prince Xiao An and Duke Qing rode on horses.

"We've got the stuff. What are your plans now?" Duke Qing said to Prince Xiao An.

"Of course, I'll go to Jiangnan." Little Prince An held the reins with both hands, his body swaying.

"Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. It's not a good idea for you to leave Beijing rashly. It's not like the usual time. What are you going to say to that girl?" asked Duke Qing.

"I have been planning to go there for a long time, but it just happened this time. Don't worry, I will go there with good reason."

After a few people slowly returned to the city, they went back to their homes as if nothing had happened.

Not long after Prince Xiao An returned home, news came from the palace that the Emperor had summoned him, so he had to hurriedly follow the eunuch into the palace.

After Prince Xiao An entered the palace, he was led by the eunuch into the emperor's study, where Prime Minister Lin and the crown prince were both there.

After a set of formalities, several people were allowed to sit.

The emperor always looked "mysterious". He sat upright in his seat, raised his eyelids slightly, and spoke to the ministers below as if he was not looking at them.

"I just received news that Prince Qi broke his leg when he returned home."

The people below all looked very surprised.

"The imperial physician said that he needs to rest for a while, but a few days ago, he was decided to be the one to go on the Jiangnan inspection tour this year. It looks like we need to change him."

The emperor leaned back, his face showing no joy.

The people below didn't say anything.

"We were supposed to go in June, but this year it was delayed until August. It's already too late and we can't delay it any longer. I came to you today just to see who should go."

The emperor raised the question.

Prime Minister Lin left his seat, knelt in front of the hall, and saluted politely.

"I think the prince is suitable."

The prince also stood up deliberately at the side, his posture straight and upright.

The emperor glanced at him.

"He went last year, so he can't go this year. We've set the rule before. He can't go consecutively. I was planning to let Prince Qi go in place of Prince Qi, after all, the boy is seventeen this year. But I heard that he was beaten by the princess yesterday, and he seems to be sick too."

When Lin Xiangjian was rejected, he did not say anything else.

The prince stepped forward and said, "Father, I am willing to share your worries, but I went there last year, so it would be better to send the Xiao family this year.

The emperor nodded and said, "The Xiao family is indeed good, but Prince Shun specifically requested to stay in the capital just to reunite with his family. It is not appropriate to send the Xiao family out now."

Every inspection trip to Jiangnan was a good job. The people who went were trusted by the emperor, could travel at public expense, and could bring back a lot of good things. Naturally, the prince wanted to let his own people go.

The emperor said, "Prince An just got married, and I wanted you to go..."

Prince Xiao An quickly knelt down and saluted, "I am willing to share the emperor's worries."

The emperor smiled and said, "Then Jing Sui will go."

The prince and Prime Minister Lin said nothing and had to obey the order.

The emperor left Prince Xiao An alone and asked the crown prince and Prime Minister Lin to leave first.

When only two people were left, the emperor raised his eyes and asked the remaining Prince An: "Do you know why I kept you here?"

Prince Xiao An stood straight and said, "I don't know."
