She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Chapter 298 There are words in the scroll

"Let's go back home immediately." Shangguan Ziqi ordered coldly.

When the guards heard this, they immediately went to harness the carriage.

The children were still in bed, but they were dressed and carried directly into the carriage.

Continue to sleep in the carriage.

We were in a hurry along the way and had to eat breakfast in the carriage.

It took just over an hour to enter the palace.

The horses were running so hard that they could hardly breathe.

I hurried into the mansion and saw that everything was fine.

"Prince, there was a fire in Qiyayuan last night." As soon as the housekeeper Li saw someone, he immediately reported it.

Come to Qiyayuan.

Yu Yuanzheng breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the extent of the burn. It was only a small burn, mainly in the outer room of their bedroom and the main hall.

The bedroom was still intact, which meant the fire was put out in time.

Her banknotes were all in her bedroom.

If her banknotes were burned, the loss would be huge.

The two of them looked around the Qiya Courtyard inside and out and found that the damage was not serious and that it could be lived in after a little repair.

The windows of the outer room and the main hall were burned, and some of the furniture inside was also burned. The wood of the wall was relatively thick, so it was only slightly burnt.

There were bloodstains on the ground, indicating that there had been a fight.

"Crown Prince, Crown Princess." Chun Lei watched them finish looking inside and out before coming forward to report.

Now that Shangguan Ziqi has taken over the crown prince's seal from the prince, his subordinates have all changed their tune.

And just at this moment, the prince also arrived.

He heard his son come back and walk from the main courtyard.

"Father, what's going on?" Shangguan Ziqi asked anxiously.

Uncle An Qi said something along the way, but because he was not on duty in the mansion last night and came directly from the military camp outside the city to find them, he didn't know much.

All I know is that there was a fire in the mansion.

"You left the palace yesterday and were discovered by spies from Canglan Country. You also took so many secret guards with you, so they thought this was an opportunity.

Around the end of the first hour of the morning, he quietly sneaked into the palace. After being discovered, he became even more aggressive. His target was Qiyayuan, and he only wanted to burn it down.

Moreover, none of the assassins were afraid of death and would rather die than burn down the Qi Ya Court. Each of them carried kerosene and lit the fire during the fight.

The prince was not at home last night. He went to the military camp.

As a result, when I received the signal and rushed back, it was already too late.

The fire still burned the main hall and the outer room, and the painting also caught fire, and the iron box was also burned, but the burning of the iron was useless, only the painting was gone. "The prince was very upset.

The enemy really attacked Prince Rong's Mansion at the first opportunity.

His Prince Rong's Mansion was always under the watchful eyes of spies from the enemy country, making them defenseless.

We conducted a city-wide search a few days ago, but they still managed to get away with it.

He just gave another order to investigate again.

Now that the painting is gone, I wonder if Ziqi’s wife can still open the iron box.

Thinking of this, the prince wished he could tear the spy Canglan into pieces.

"How many people came in?" Shangguan Ziqi was also angry and his face was gloomy.

This was because they knew that the iron box and the portrait were in Qiyayuan, and they came specifically to burn these two things.

"Ten people, all were killed."

Those people came here with the determination to die, just to achieve their goal.

"Father, where is the iron box?" Yu Yuanzheng asked after listening to them finish speaking.

"In the main courtyard."

As soon as the fire was put out, the secret guards delivered the iron box to the main courtyard.

"Go and have a look."

Yu Yuanzheng values ​​the iron box very much. She wishes she could open it immediately, make a bomb, and blow up Canglan Kingdom so that not a single blade of grass will grow.

Yu Yuanzheng ran towards the main courtyard and had no time to take care of the children.

As soon as I entered, I saw the iron box placed neatly on the main table in the main hall of the main courtyard.

But after the fire, the red knees on the red plum branch in front were gone and burned.

The blooming red plums have lost their previous brightness and beauty.

Next to the table was the portrait that had been burned to the point of being a corpse. More than half of it was gone, leaving only the two heads of the upper body.

The lower half was completely gone, leaving only a scroll that was burned black.

Yu Yuanzheng picked up the scroll.

This scroll is surprisingly made of iron. Usually, wood is used, but this one is made of iron, contrary to the norm.

It was a tube, not solid, so she didn't feel how heavy it was in her hand.

When she looked at this painting before, the two ends of the axis were sealed with paper. Now, after the fire, the paper sealing the two ends is gone, and she can see the other end from one end.

Yu Yuanzheng actually picked up the axis and put it on his eyes.

Squint one eye and focus the other eye on the shaft hole.

Turning around again and looking outside the hall, he saw Shangguan Ziqi and the prince walking in.

As soon as the two men were out of her sight, a beam of light shone into her eyes through the iron tube.

What did she see?

It wasn't very clear, so she walked a few steps out of the hall to the door, where the light was better.

She saw it.

There are words on the wall of the iron tube, just on the other side of my eyes.

Immediately change the direction and squint again.

See clearly.

HONGMEI.

It is the pinyin of the two words "Hongmei" in capital letters.

She guessed this immediately, because the maiden name of her ancestor's princess was Hongmei.

Not far from the pinyin is a number: 26.

What does it mean?

I don't understand at the moment.

"Madam, what did you see?" Shangguan Ziqi walked over.

When he saw his wife's thoughtful look, he knew what she had seen.

Yu Yuanzheng handed it to him.

Shangguan Ziqi also picked it up and looked at it like her.

He saw it too.

"Madam, what are these words? Is it a code?" Shangguan Ziqi had never seen such words before.

"No. This is the phonetic notation of our ancestor's princess's name." Yu Yuanzheng was still thinking and explained casually.

But Shangguan Ziqi didn't understand.

Phonetic notation? The phonetic notation of the Wei Dynasty characters was not like this, but rather direct phonetic notation or fanqie. He had never seen such phonetic notation before.

The prince also took it and looked at it, and he saw it too.

"Ziqi, my wife, could this be the password hint?" the prince reminded.

"It should be. Wait for my daughter-in-law to think about it carefully."

At this time, the princess also came in.

"Greetings, mother." Yu Yuanzheng regained her composure after seeing the princess.

"Zheng'er, it's a good thing you weren't in the palace last night. Those damned people actually dared to break into the palace."

Last night, there were only three women in the mansion. When the secret guards discovered that an assassin had entered the mansion, she was so frightened that she quickly put on her clothes and wanted to go over to take a look.

Aunt Zhao tried her best to stop her from leaving the main courtyard.

The secret guards guarding the main courtyard also showed up and prevented her from leaving.

Finally, she waited until the fire was out before going over to take a look.

All ten assassins were killed. At that moment, she was not afraid at all, but instead checked to see if the iron box was okay.

As a result, I saw the painting was burned.

She was heartbroken, but it had already happened.

"Is mother frightened?" Shangguan Ziqi asked with concern.

"My mother is fine. The secret guards killed all those people and spared no one." The princess felt relieved that all the assassins were killed.

"Mother is very brave." Yu Yuanzheng gave the princess a thumbs up.

In her eyes, her mother was a woman who was protected too well by her father.

"Oh, when will it end?" The princess sighed helplessly.

Although Princess Rong has a high status, she is always worried.

At this moment, Qinghe, the maidservant beside Yu Chaoyang, came hurriedly, looking very anxious.
