Chapter 113 The Secret in the Box
When Fan Xian saw the scene before him, he was shocked.

He has known Wu Zhu since he was a child and grew up with him. He always felt that this uncle was invincible and no one in the world could be his rival.

This is the first time I have seen Wuzhu in such a mess.

Moreover, Fan Xian already knew that Wu Zhu's martial arts strength had reached the level of a grandmaster.

Since someone was able to hurt him, his own strength must be that of a grandmaster.

Who was the person who hurt Uncle Wu Zhu?
Ye Liuyun?
Si Gu Jian?
Bitter lotus?

Or is it the great master who lives deep in the imperial palace?
Just as Fan Xian was thinking, Wu Zhu said, "The person who injured me was a white-haired, one-armed old man. He was not someone I knew."

"This person is very likely a new expert."

"He is very strong and I am no match for him."

"So, you have to be careful next time."

When Fan Xian heard this, he was shocked and asked, "Uncle, what do you mean?"

"Could it be that the person who injured you was actually coming for me?"

Wu Zhu nodded and said seriously, "It's very likely."

"So, you should prepare early in the future."

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, then he spread his hands and said, "Uncle, you are joking, right?"

"If the person who got hurt was really targeting me, then there's no point in preparing for anything!"

"Even a great master like you can't defeat this man. What can I, a mere seventh-grade master, do?"

Wu Zhu pondered for a moment and said, "That's true."

"Oh, right." Wu Zhu suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where is the box that the lady left for you?"

box?

When Fan Xian heard the word "box", he immediately walked to the bed, bent down, and reached out to pull out the black box inside.

"Here's the box."

Fan Xian put the box on the table, but frowned slightly.

He seemed to feel that the box he just brought was much lighter than when he first arrived.

Illusion?
Fan Xian carefully checked all around the box, and only felt relieved after confirming that there was nothing unusual.

It seemed that he was too nervous just now, which led to this illusion.

"Uncle, what do you want the box for?"

"We don't have the key, so even if we have the box, we can't open it."

Wu Zhu nodded and said, "I know where the key is."

"When we find the key and open the box, the things inside will be able to completely protect you."

"The young lady once said that if you encounter a danger that you cannot overcome in the future, you should open the box. There is something inside that can save your life."

"Really?" Fan Xian asked in surprise, "Where is the key?"

Wu Zhu said: "Inside the palace."

"No, to be precise, it's in the 'Hanguang Palace'."

"'Hanguang Palace'?" Fan Xian asked in surprise, "Isn't that the bedroom where the current Queen Mother lives?"

"Why are my mother's keys placed there?"

"Besides, when I was a kid, I heard you say that my mother was the most hostile to people in the palace. They were almost like enemies."

"If that's the case, then why is my mother's key in the possession of the Queen Mother?"

"Could it be that you were lying to me before?"

Wu Zhu shook his head and said, "I didn't lie to you."

"Those people were very afraid of the young lady before, especially the things in this box."

"So, they tried to get the key."

"The purpose is to prevent the box from being opened again!"

Fan Xian nodded thoughtfully, feeling that what Uncle Wu Zhu said did make some sense.

He came to the box, tapped it lightly behind him, and thought:

"If that's the case, then I'm really curious about what's inside this box."

"Something that can make so many people so scared must not be simple."

Wu Zhu said, "Let me rest for two days, then I will take you to the palace to find the key." Fan Xian nodded and said, "Okay, then it's settled."

"But, uncle." Fan Xian looked at the miserable Wu Zhu and said, "You are seriously injured now, do you need me to get you some medicine?"

"Your whole arm is broken, doesn't it hurt?"

Wu Zhu leaned against the wall, slowly squatted on the ground, and said, "No need."

"You go do your own thing, I'll just take a break."

Seeing that the other party was determined to do so, Fan Xian did not say anything more. After all, Uncle Wu Zhu had a strange temper and he had long been accustomed to it.

Afterwards, Fan Xian sat on the stool, resting his chin on the table with one hand, and began to ponder.

Is there any connection between the person who just defeated Uncle Wu Zhu and the person who assassinated him before?

Who are they?

How come I've been in trouble for so long since leaving Danzhou and arriving in Kyoto City just a few days ago?

cough……

Fan Xian sighed helplessly.

Things felt like they were becoming more and more troublesome, and he was already starting to have a headache!

……

Imperial Palace, Hanguang Hall.

The Queen Mother's sleep quality has been very poor in recent days.

And I also like to dream.

The most important thing is that she always has the same dream.

Whether it was day or night, as soon as the Queen Mother closed her eyes, she would dream of the past.

Things that have long been forgotten but dare not remember.

At noon that day, after the Queen Mother had lunch, she lay on the couch and took a nap.

She originally thought that she was just squinting with her eyes closed and would definitely not be dreaming.

As a result, I just took a nap and the dream started again.

In her dream, the Queen Mother returned to the house where she used to live, and many familiar people appeared around her.

These are all people from the royal family, including the two princes who were killed by Ye Qingmei.

They were covered in blood, their faces were all covered in big holes, and they kept walking towards her.

The scene was extremely bloody and terrifying.

Not far away, Ye Qingmei suddenly appeared, holding a strange thing in her hand and laughing.

The Queen Mother recognized the object in Ye Qingmei's hand as the weapon that killed the two princes.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Qingmei suddenly raised the weapon in her hand and aimed it at her forehead.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the scene in the dream was instantly shattered.

"what!"

The Queen Mother was awakened and uttered a cry of surprise.

"Empress Dowager, are you okay?"

Several palace maids serving at the bedside asked hurriedly when they saw the empress dowager wake up.

The Queen Mother touched her face and found that it was already covered with sweat. She immediately shook her head and said:

"It's okay, just a nightmare."

"You are not needed to serve here, please go down first."

"Yes." The palace maids nodded in agreement and turned around immediately.

Wait until the bedroom is empty.

The Queen Mother immediately groped under the bed.

Soon, the Queen Mother opened the compartment and took out a strangely shaped key.

The Queen Mother felt relieved when she saw the key in her hand.

As long as this key is there, the box left by the bitch cannot be opened, and she doesn't have to worry about any danger!
