"The villain dares not wait."

"Okay, I won't make things difficult for you," Nan Yan said with a smile: "Don't forget that today is my daughter, Princess Xinping's first birthday. In a while, her jade plate will be put here."

Everyone then remembered.

By the way, today is not just the day when His Majesty the Emperor comes to the altar to worship the heaven and earth.

Another important thing is the princess’s first birthday.

Like other members of the royal family, her jade plate must be put in.

Nan Yan said: "Nangong just came over to see it in advance. There is nothing important. You don't have to make such a fuss."

Everyone looked at each other and stepped aside: "Yes."

Nanyan then opened the door and walked in.

Although there are many guards outside, the inside of these halls is very empty.

No one.

Nan Yan walked in and closed the heavy door behind her back. It was so quiet that only her breathing was left, and the candlelight around her flashed slightly.

Suddenly, it seemed like I had entered a quiet space.

It's not the same world as outside.

The front of the hall is a whole wall, connected directly to the top of the hall. On the wall is a whole painting, which depicts the country and some scenes of soldiers fighting bravely.

Emperor Gao spent his whole life in the military service. In the hall where the jade plates of the royal family members were placed, he even wrote such a painting.

Perhaps, he can't forget the past he once was on the battlefield.

However, Nan Yan's attention is not here now. She just took a simple look, then bypassed the wall and walked to the back of the hall.

On the back of this wall are countless cabinets.

Just like before, when she was the female official Shang Bao, she guarded the jade seal.

However, these cabinets were not locked, but were just open, with countless bright yellow satin-wrapped boxes inside.

In the box is the jade plate for every member of the royal family.

Under each cabinet was a small piece of paper, marking who the owner of the jade plate was. Nan Yan saw Zhu Feng's name at a glance.

She stepped forward, carefully took off the box, and untied the silk on it.

The box inside is very delicate.

It looks familiar, too.

It is almost the same as the box where the jade seal was placed in the Jinling Palace and the wooden box I saw in the Jinlou Villa.

Especially, the lock on it.

Nan Yan took a deep breath, reached out to his collar, and carefully pulled out a rope hanging around his neck.

Under the rope, a key was hung.

It was the key she took out in the mud at the bottom of the lake.

Her hands trembled slightly, and she held the key and gently inserted it into the keyhole.
