clear step by step

"That's it." Lin Ruhai carefully held out a box with a conflicted expression on his face.

"Dragon pattern?" Lan Qing looked at the pitch-black box, on which was precisely the dragon pattern of Qiao Kingdom.

Although the Twelve Kingdoms are basically the same, in details, such as the white pheasant and dragon pattern of each country, they all have the characteristics of each country. As the curator who is closest to the palace, Lan Rongyu recognized this at a glance. Carving of the box.

Lin Ruhai looked strangely at the few people whose faces were not very good, and he was also very puzzled: "It is said that this is something that the ancestors asked to be buried next to him after entering the customs, but later, I don't know why it stayed there. No one knows what it is , of no use, and no one can open it, and there is no record about it in the family, so after all these years, it doesn’t make much sense except to keep it as a family heirloom.” Apparently found Kong Cheng and others People attach great importance to it, Lin Ruhai opened his mouth very tangled.It's not that I want to dampen the interest of a few people, but in the eyes of the Lin family, the things that Kong Cheng and the others value so much are indeed meaningless except for the funerary objects. Death will forget this thing in the corner of the warehouse.

Situ Qian poked the box depressedly, then looked at Lin Ruhai with a 'sincere' face: "You really don't know the meaning of this box?"

"I don't know."

"But……"

"It's fine. Situ, it's normal not to know about this kind of thing." Kong Cheng glanced at Situ Qian. Did he really think it would be better for the people here to know about the Twelve Kingdoms?

You are right.Situ Qian looked at Lin Ruhai sympathetically. Now, it is impossible to hide Lin Ruhai's secrets from him. However, the corner of Situ Qian's lips curled into a nasty arc. I don't know that this Lin Tanhua knew about the relationship between his ancestor and Huang Taiji. What will happen after "love, hate, entanglement, entanglement"?

Heng Yang glanced coldly at Da Sima's 'rippling' expression, and silently rolled his eyes. This man's bad taste is still as vulgar as ever.

"My lord?" Lan Qing's attention was all on the box.

"Open it."

Lan Qing looked at Lin Ruhai, and got a gesture of "please". The box that generations of the Lin family wanted to open was presented in front of her more than a hundred years later. I have to say that Lin Ruhai was really curious. What secrets are hidden in the box that the ancestors loved and hated back then?

Qiaoguo's dragon pattern is just like their Baobao, it is a winding dragon, and the ring of seal is tightly grasped on the ostentatious dragon's claws.Lan Qing looked at the dragon carefully, stroked it, and showed a clear smile on his face. He followed the dragon's mane from the neck to the dragon's Wei bit by bit. The continuous and undulating boundary line tapped the dragon scales hard and sometimes lightly. Finally, he buckled his thumb and pressed down hard on the ring of seals. Immediately, he heard the sound of layers of organs surging, as if The key to unlock the lock was unlocked one by one, and finally there was a 'crack', the ring of seal was split in two, and the dark box was opened in two.

Lin Ruhai looked at such a miraculous unlocking method in amazement. It was easy to open even though there was no gap around the box before?

Lan Qing reached out and took out what was inside, wrapped it in a piece of silk, felt it for a while, Lan Qing and Kong Cheng looked at each other: "It seems to be something like a book."

Kong Cheng's gaze fell on the silk cloth, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "Open it, I think, it should satisfy us."

That’s right, it’s a book, to be precise, it’s a diary, a handbook that has been recorded since the arrival of Gonglin. It is written in Qiaoguo characters that are familiar but unfamiliar to several people. The content in the book is really So Kong Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Gong Lin had made a choice. Before the destiny came, the Emperor of Heaven never obstructed her return. On the contrary, it was the attitude of Huang Taiji and the others that really blocked Gong Lin's footsteps.Abandoned by Qiaoguo, and at the same time abandoning Qiaoguo's gentle Qilin, if Huang Taiji can give her a home, even if it is a home with only a trace of warmth, even if it makes Qilin sad again, compared to the hometown abandoned by him, it will be better. Lin is willing to exile himself here forever.The ashes were wiped out, and even the soul could not find a home.

Lin Ruhai's complexion kept changing for a moment, he couldn't read the notes, but it didn't prevent him from having a vile person around him who read important sentences to him word by word, all the time. Challenging the nerves that he thought had been stretched to the limit a moment ago.

"...This... is it true?" Lin Ruhai asked gritted his teeth, no wonder, no wonder this thing was hidden so tightly, damn it, can he turn back time, and then he will definitely be in the first place. Time will destroy this bastard box and throw it into the sea!To put it simply, it is the story of his ancestor's lovelorn, but to put it more complicated, it is basically his Lin family's reminder!

At this moment, Lin Ruhai really wanted to grab the collar of his dead ancestor and shake it violently. Are you crazy, huh?You are crazy, you are not clear-headed, your head is caught by the door, you actually fell in love with the same woman as the emperor and regent, and you are as tough as Kong Cheng, are you looking for death? You are reluctant to throw such a thing away, are you afraid that the emperor will destroy our Xilinjueluo clan for no reason or excuse in the future?Royal anecdote, can I choose to wash my ears off and say I didn't hear anything?

Seeing Lin Ruhai's hollow eyes, his fascinated appearance, and his precarious appearance, Situ Qian smiled immediately, with a smug, uncomfortably cheerful smile. In fact, he didn't like Lan Rongyu's gentle face for a long time, but It's never going to work out. Now that he can see Mr. Lin getting closer to someone, his expression is broken and his soul is lost. Situ Qian said that he is really satisfied. Look, he is more than enough than the bottom. Not high, is it?

Kong Cheng's mind turned countless thoughts during this period of time, until he was finally sure that at least the Emperor of Heaven really did not have any malice towards him, and he would not play tricks on his servants, he finally came back to his senses and blinked his eyes , I saw the chaotic and even smoky scene in front of me.Rong Yu's face didn't seem quite right, otherwise how could he smile brighter?And Hengyang, the temperature has risen by a little bit, the most obvious thing is that the two people who are full of resentment and refreshed are clearly sitting together, Kong Cheng touched his chin, Minzhi found fun again?

Forget it, as long as you don't play on your own head, looking at Lin Ruhai's haggard expression, Kong Cheng feels that, compared to the always calm smile, the current pale face actually looks quite comfortable.

"We have to take these things away. After all, it's better for some things to return to their original state." People shouldn't know, it's better not to know. As for those who already know, Kong Cheng feels that there is such an invisible knife hanging in the air. In the head, although there is almost no chance of falling down in the future, is it possible to be prepared for danger in times of peace? Maybe it can make Lin Ruhai more cautious and make his life safer?

Kong Cheng didn't feel how bad his behavior was at all. Think about Lin Ruhai's entangled expression every time he saw Kangxi in the future, and Xuan Ye's thoughts, all kinds of suspicions and doubts he might have, he couldn't sleep and had a headache , Kong Cheng bent the corners of his lips, in fact, it was quite beautiful.

"Yes, take it away." Lin Ruhai wiped his face in frustration. He really didn't have the courage to continue to investigate the origin of Kong Cheng and the others. He urgently needs to sleep well and tidy up his chaotic brain, so as not to relapse. Became someone's joke!Lin Ruhai gave Situ Qian a hard look. In the case of insufficient strength, Lin Ruhai could only comfort himself in this way.

Kong Cheng smiled and nodded, several people finally came out of the study, seeing Changhua and Yinzhen waiting outside the yard, Lin Ruhai's expression was indescribably entangled, Kong Cheng and the others chuckled, I went back to my room to rest.

The next day, after thinking about it, Kong Cheng still called Changhua and Lin Ruhai into the courtyard, sighed and told the events of the year in detail.Kong Cheng doesn't think that Changhua or Lin Ruhai are people who can't keep secrets. On the contrary, sometimes, for smart people, they are the best catalyst for their growth.

As for Hengyang and Situqian, they were driven away by Kong Cheng to the former Hetuala. Since some things were decided to be buried, it is better not to leave any traces.In this day and age, if the few pens and gossip about unofficial history are really revealed one day, no one can say for sure whether it will be a blessing or a curse.Zhezhe is dead, and Bumbutai is also dead, but the relationship between Man and Mongolia will never be broken. Tai Chi is still there, and Dorgon is fine, let’s go with the wind. The existence of Gonglin may be a fatal turning point, but the result has been shown today, so there is no need to be dug up again to become a handle or Yes, fuse.

It's just that after Lin Ruhai left, Changhua unexpectedly stayed behind, with a gentle but dignified expression.

"Mama, can you tell me more about Feng Qi?"

Facing Shangkong Cheng's slightly surprised expression, Changhua's tone was firm and persistent: "Grandson wants to know what kind of state of mind made you choose such a path, Mamo, although grandson is very lucky to have Mamo However, even if what happened to Mamo will not happen again, Changhua wants to know what kind of feelings Mamo is carrying. You are my only family member, and I can bear it with you. .”

Even if there is relief, it will still not conceal the struggle and pain in the past.Abandoning responsibility, abandoning the country, and embarking on a path that completely runs counter to one's own beliefs, no matter what the starting point and reason are, it is impossible to conceal the heartache and grief before the decision.The past self could not participate, but today, at least, I can bear the rich and mixed emotions in the memory with you, and take the common memory together to walk towards the future.

Changhua's eyes are bright and clear, no longer as bright and clear as the stars when he was young, but in such deep eyes, there is a truly firm and persistent gentleness, such a vast black, with a more tolerant heart than the stars.

Kong Cheng laughed suddenly, with sourness in his heart, but more of a surge of relief and joy.The child back then grew up, but he was getting closer and warmer to himself, instead of being coldly separated from his father, it was so good, so good.

very nice.

The author has something to say: Poor Lin Ruhai, can I say that the reason why you are so miserable today is because Xuemou was abused by another article, so you are venting?Chihhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~~~
