Chapter 72 The Secret in the Box
Early the next morning, Yan Ning knocked on Yucixin's door.While knocking and calling her, I don't know if something happened.

Last night because she slept very late, Yu Cixin's biological clock failed for the first time. She was woken up by Yan Ning, and when she woke up, her eyes were still full of exhaustion.

"Princess, this is the box you gave to Yan Ning yesterday. When she returned to her room, Yan Ning opened it, only to find that there was a portrait, a token, and a letter inside." The box was handed out, she glanced at Yu Cixin, and then continued: "Yan Ning unfolded the portrait, and found that the person in the portrait was [-]% similar to the princess, so she didn't dare to be negligent, and she took the person in the box early in the morning. Bring the things over to the princess for a look."

"Huh? Show me what to do? This is left to you by your father." Yuci was a little confused, Yan Ning was going to make trouble this early in the morning!
"The princess should read it before we talk." Before Yu Cixin finished speaking, Yan Ning stuffed the box into her hand.

Looking at the box in her hand, Yuci reluctantly opened it, and took out the portrait inside to take a look, but she was stunned at just one glance.Isn't she the person in this painting?how
No, the person in this painting is not her!Yu Cixin's eyes widened, and after a careful look, he found that the paper of the painting was a little yellowed, and it must have been several years old.Moreover, Yan Ning's father, Ruan Zhihong, has been dead for eight years. This painting should have been there eight years ago, otherwise he would not have included it in the box.

Secondly, Yu Cixin looked at the woman in the painting, and it is true that she looks ninety percent similar to her, but she was a child eight years ago, how can she compare with the person in the painting?In all likelihood, she has some kind of relationship with the woman in the painting, but this cannot be confirmed, after all, she and her mother also look quite similar.

Could it be that the person in this painting is her mother?
But this guess is not accurate. My mother didn't go out much in the palace at that time, and she never left the capital. How could there be a portrait of her in the Ruan family in Xiangzhou?
With doubts, Yu Cixin took a closer look at the portrait, and found that the woman in the painting was dressed in a heroic attire, and there was also a sharp look between her brows, not as gentle and loving as her mother.She thought, maybe this is just a person who looks very similar to her mother.

It seems that only such an inference is in line with common sense, so Yu Cixin, who affirmed her own thoughts, slowly rolled up the portrait and put it away, but when she rolled it to the end, her hand paused because she saw the last corner of the portrait. Wrote two small characters Fu Yang, if you don't read carefully, you really can't notice it.

Who is Fu Yang?It seems to be a personal name, maybe the person who painted it.

It's just that in Yunluo country, no one with the surname "Fu" has been heard of, so I don't know if they are from a country other than Yunluo country.

No longer entangled, Yu Cixin put the painting back into the box, picked up the token in the box and looked at it, only to see that there was only one word engraved on the token, the word "God" in mythology, with a A strange pattern.The pattern was crooked and crooked, she looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out why.

What the hell is this?

Putting the token back, she finally picked up the letter. The envelope was well preserved, and the five characters "Ruan Zhihong's personal letter" were written on it. Someone must have written it to Yan Ning's father.Moreover, the seal of the envelope has been opened, it seems that Ruan Zhihong opened it back then, and Yan Ning said that she came to her directly after seeing the portrait, so she probably didn't read the contents of the letter.

"I just opened this letter and read it. Is there any problem?" Yuci raised the letter in his hand and asked Yan Ning.

"It's okay, the princess can take a look." Yan Ning shook her head, signaling Yuci to open the letter and have a look.

Hearing this, Yu Cixin didn't have any ink stains, so he took out the letter paper from the envelope, unfolded it, and read it word by word.

The content of the letter is not long, it was written by Fu Yang who signed the portrait.It tells that his wife is separated from him, and I hope that Ruan Zhihong can send someone to help him find it. If there is any clue, he can use the token to find a person named "Yuelu" at Cangzhou Wharf and report the news to him. He, he will send someone to confirm later.

Judging from the content of the letter, the man named Fu Yang should have known Ruan Zhihong before, and it seems that he was Ruan Zhihong's master. It was only after something happened that he left him in Xiangzhou and let him live in Xiangzhou. Take root, get married and have children.

The time of this letter was 18 years ago, that is to say, Yu Cixin was not born at that time. The letter mentioned the wife of the man named Fu Yang. If she guessed correctly, it should be the one in the portrait. The woman is gone.

However, why didn't Fu Yang send someone to find his wife himself, instead of asking Ruan Zhihong to help?Also, why did Ruan Zhihong put the portrait and letter in such a secret place?These are all puzzled by Yu Cixin.

Yan Ning stood behind Yu Cixin and read the letter with her, but she was also at a loss.Eight years ago, she was only about one year old, and she hadn't started to remember anything, so she didn't know anything about it.

Forget it, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it, she came to Xiangzhou this time to avenge Yan Ning and her family, so let's save the things in this box for later.

Yu Cixin put the box away, and then told Yan Ning to keep the matter a secret for the time being and discuss it later.

After that, she changed into women's clothing, and asked Yan Ning to go back and change, and went out with her for a walk.

The white fringed gauze skirt fluttered in the breeze, and the early summer morning was still very cool.Yu Cixin was wearing a veil, followed by Yan Ning who was also wearing a veil, and they walked along the path to the street.

I have to say that the economy in Xiangzhou City is still good, and there are many hawkers hawking and shouting early in the morning.Yu Cixin and Yan Ning casually found an outdoor stall and ordered two bowls of wontons.

Just finished eating and was about to pay the money and prepare to leave, Yu Cixin glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw a familiar figure from behind.She greeted Yan Ning and followed them together.

Following all the way, I saw that person entered an inn, and then never came out again.

Yu Cixin waited outside the inn with Yan Ning for a while, and finally saw that no one came out, so she went in directly and asked at the counter.

"Shopkeeper, where did the young man who came in just now go?"

If she didn't have a blind eye, that person was Yuan Qi, Shangguan Ye's right-hand man, but shouldn't he be by Shangguan Ye's side at the moment, why did he appear here?

The shopkeeper was sorting out the account books from the night before, when he suddenly heard someone asking himself, he quickly looked up and saw two masked girls.He rolled his eyes and replied: "Girl, of course the guests come in to stay at the store. It's just that the girl came to ask like this. Could it be that she fell in love with the son of the little brother's family just now? But there are principles in doing business, You can't disclose other people's son's information to the girl, if the girl is looking for someone, just wait in the lobby downstairs."

What?The son of Yuanqi Family?Isn't that Shangguan Ye? Could it be that he also came to Xiangzhou?
At this moment, Yu Cixin caught a glimpse of a young man in a light purple brocade robe coming down from the stairs of the inn. His steps were steady and his figure was almost the same as Shangguan Ye. Could it be him?
