Furthermore, she had only wanted to go find the thing they were looking for on Fu Manduo's body. She didn't have any ill intentions towards this man.

Thus, a man's jealousy was sometimes very frightening.

They were seriously calculating and were really calculating. There was not a single grain of sand in their eyes.

Qian Yexun personally made a search and found a long small box on Fu Manduo's body.

The appearance of the small box made it look exquisite. Moreover, with just a glance, he could tell that this box came from the palace.

The contents of this box should be what Empress Dowager Zhen told her before her death.

As for what exactly was inside, no one knew. Probably only the late Empress Dowager Zhen would know.

”Have you seen what's inside this box?”

He had already obtained the things that Qian Yexun wanted, and he had even captured Fu Manduo alive. Hence, he was not in a hurry to open the box to check.

Fu Manduo's expression, was sluggish for a moment, then he immediately shook his head, and denied with a shake of his head like a rattle drum, ”No, absolutely not opened!”

However, Qian Yexun carefully discovered the hesitation in his expression, which was obviously a sign that he was lying.

There is no wax seal left on the box, proving that this box was opened by someone. Although I do not know if you were the first person to open this box, but when you lied just now, it was too obvious.

Qian Yexun mercilessly exposed Fu Manduo's lies, causing him to feel extremely defeated.

”Hurry up and take a look at what it is. Don't be fooled by this guy again. He has too many tricks up his sleeve!” Ban Xia glared at Fu Manduo fiercely, she did not dare to compliment his character at all.

This time, Qian Yexun no longer hesitated and decisively opened the box in front of Fu Manduo.

His face changed when he saw what was in the box.

”What, what is that thing?”

Ban Xia also went closer, only to see that there was something like a scroll inside the box. Her knowledge and the reaction she had when she saw the scroll were all similar.

But Qian Yexun's identity was different after all. He came from the palace, and his body flowed with the bloodline of the Imperial Family.

He was familiar with the contents of the palace, as well as with other things.

At this moment, even he, who had always been calm and collected, couldn't help but tremble in fear.

Opening it or not, this was a difficult question for him.

”Is there something wrong with this thing? Why do you have such a strange look in your eyes? ” Ban Xia was confused, she moved closer, wishing that she could open the scroll and check what was inside.

But then again, even someone as strong and calm as Qian Yexun had such a weird expression when he saw this scroll. There must be something wrong with this thing.

Qian Yexun hesitated for a while before finally deciding to open it himself.

He was very careful. The moment he opened the box and discovered what was inside, he recognized it. It was an imperial edict from the palace.

Those who had never entered the imperial court or come in contact with the imperial edict might not recognize it, but he was extremely familiar with it.

Every time he set off to battle, or returned victorious, he would receive an imperial edict. The number of times he received an imperial edict was about the same as the number of times he entered the palace.

The only thing Empress Dowager Zhen had to protect with all her might was an imperial edict.

However, since Empress Dowager Zhen was the late emperor's woman, then this imperial edict … Qian Yexun suddenly thought of something, and his complexion became even more frigid.

With trembling hands, he unfurled the imperial edict. The first thing he paid attention to was not the contents of the imperial edict, but the place where he placed the Imperial Jade Seal and her signature.

It was indeed the last decree issued by the late emperor, and judging from the time, it was two days before the late emperor passed away.

When he looked at the contents of the will again, he was dumbfounded.

”Just what is so strange about this thing? Show it to me. If you do this, I'll only be more curious.” Ban Xia was panicking on the side, she realized that Qian Yexun's expression was turning even weirder. The moment she got angry, she would directly snatch the thing from his hands.

Fu Manduo immediately understood that he was not the only one that was shocked when he saw it.

At the same time, he silently sighed and finally succeeded in throwing the hot mountain away.

It turned out that this time when he returned to the house, he was caught again accidentally, and this was all part of his plan. He could have gone far away, but he had temporarily hidden away, but he didn't, he had purposely appeared in the house, and then been discovered.
