Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The eighth prince cried out in grievance.
“Mother, I didn’t steal this. Sister gave it to me!”
Gu Zilan looked at Gu Nuo’er and hurriedly asked, “Sister, have you forgotten? You said that this jade looks good and asked me to help you make it into a hidden weapon in a mechanism!”
Gu Nuo’er pouted and thought about it.
There seemed to have been such a thing!
At that time, she saw that this dragon-shaped jade was very beautiful.
He decided to turn it into a mechanism. If it couldn’t shoot anyone to death,it would still be good to be used for observation.
When Consort MO heard this, she almost fainted.
“This is the key to your father’s private treasury. Nuo’er might not understand at such a young age, but how can you not understand either!”
She hurriedly checked the key.
Fortunately, her silly son hadn’t melted the key yet.
Otherwise, it would really be a calamity!
Gu Zilan was on the brink of tears.
“Mother, how can you blame me? I’ve never seen this key since I was young!”
Gu Yihan had many sons. He was neither ranked at the top nor at the bottom. He was not as doted on as Gu Nuo’er either.
Consort MO quickly returned the key to the child.
“Nuo’er, His Majesty must be anxious. Do you want me to go with you to return it to him?”
Gu Nuo’er put the key in her small bag.
She smiled and waved her hand, her eyes curved into cute crescents.
“It’s alright, Mother Consort Mo. Father said that it’s fine if it’s lost. There are traps set up by Mother around the private treasury. If people who don’t know about it go and steal things, they’ll only die.”
Consort MO naturally knew about this.
It was even a blueprint for a mechanism that she had personally designed.
However, the key to this private treasury was no small matter.
Fortunately, no big trouble was caused.
Consort MO felt relieved and invited Gu Nuo’er and Ye Siming to stay behind to eat some snacks before leaving.
While Consort MO was talking to Ye Siming,
The eighth prince, Gu Zilan, secretly handed a very small portable mechanism to Gu Nuo’er.
It looked like a small pink tourmaline ring.
Gu Nuo’er put it on her index finger and realized that the size was just right.
Gu Zilan was a little proud. “It’s suitable, right? This was done according to your finger size and it took me a very long time.” The child liked it very much.
She raised her fair hand and opened her fingers.
The rare pink tourmaline reflected an even brighter glow in the candlelight. “Eighth Brother, this looks really good. How do I use it?”
Gu Zilan pointed to an inconspicuous place on the outer side of the ring. There was a small bump that looked like a scratch.
“There’s an especially small needle hidden under this tourmaline stone. It’s smeared with knockout powder.
“Previously, you were in danger at the Double Third Festival. Now that you’re gradually growing up, there must be many people who want to bully you. “The mechanism that Brother gave you is for saving your life in times of danger. Sister, don’t press this bump easily.
“There’s a lot of knockout powder on that silver needle. It was given by Tenth Brother. Even if a bear were to come, it would collapse!”
Gu Nuo’er blinked and said words of admiration.
Her tenth brother’s mother was a concubine revered as a great beauty in the outer regions. She was born looking a little different from them.
Tenth Brother had a pair of dark blue eyes.
When Gu Nuo’er was young, she liked to play with him.
However, after he grew up, he gradually distanced himself from his brothers and stopped coming to play with his sister.
He only studied and practiced martial arts in his palace every day.
People from the outer regions were born to know how to use knockout powders and incense.
Gu Nuo’er thought to herself that it seemed that one day, she would have to go and play with Tenth Brother again.
The child put away the mechanism that Gu Zilan had given her.
“Thank you, Eighth Brother!”
Gu Zilan watched as his sister looked up and smiled like a small flower.
He felt a great sense of accomplishment!
Gu Zilan stroked his sister’s head. “It’s good that you like it.. It’s worth it no matter how hard Brother works!”
