Chapter 1241
This side of the Xixiang has, indeed, a relatively long history.
It has gone through several dynasties of the feudal dynasty, and, in ancient times, it was still the heady Central Plains.
It was while Wen Shuxu was riding over in the car that she saw all the kind of ancient buildings outside the window, and when they got to that museum, the original old buildings were still completely preserved.
It was even more breathtaking.
“We’re already there, shall we go down?”
Shen Yuanling hadn’t dared to say a word on this journey.
Of course, he didn’t dare to glance backwards either.
Wen Shuxu was in a bad mood to the extreme, ignoring him as she directly pushed open the car door.
“Click, click, click–”
But did not expect, when she came down, surprisingly saw that the entrance of the museum, there are a lot of reporters with cameras, at this time, are wildly shooting at every person who went in.
Wen Shuxu immediately shrank back again.
“What kind of party is this? Why are there still so many reporters? What the hell does that old thing Lan Yuan want?”
“……”
After a while, Shen Yuan Ling, who was still sitting rigidly in front of him, only cautiously looked back.
“This is the first batch of cultural relics stranded overseas in China to return to celebrate the banquet, the Cultural Relics Bureau attaches great importance to it and has specially invited journalists from the major mainstream media to cover this good thing, so if your identity is disclosed at this time, it will cause a stir in the country.”
“And then what?”
“Then, you should still not know that over at the White House, because of the last incident, Zhu Chengwen has lost all his prestige, and the Congress is in desperate need of a new leader to stabilise the situation, and your appearance is undoubtedly the perfect time to do so.”
Shen Yuanling said everything he knew.
But unexpectedly, as soon as his words left his mouth, the woman behind him began to curse, “Ridiculous! Does he still want me to be a female emperor?”
Shen Yuan Ling shook his head, “No, he wants you to be the empress.”
“What?”
Wen Shuxu was completely shocked: “Empress?!”
God Yuan Ling nodded, “Yes, because his ultimate goal is still to take power himself, so after you became the real princess of the White Palace, your sidekick appeared.”
“Who?”
“Huo Siji!”
No one expected that this man, at the end, would say such a very familiar name.
Huo Sijiu?
Was she having trouble with her ears? Or was he just talking nonsense?
They wanted to seize power, and they would even put her husband, Huo Sijiu, up after so much planning? How could that be possible? They were now enemies to the death!
Wen Shuxu was shocked and angry, and simply couldn’t believe such a thing.
But just when she was about to ask for more clarification, the people at the entrance of the museum not far away, surprisingly, even found them this car, so a person came over.
“Excuse me, madam and sir, are you here for the party?”
“…… Yes.”
Wen Shuxu had to nod his head.
When this staff member saw this, his attitude became even more enthusiastic.
“Then please get out of the car, we are entering, it will be around six thirty’s when the banquet will start.”
He respectfully invited Wen Shuxu to get off.
There was no choice but to carry her skirt down.
And as soon as she came down, with this dazzling red colour appearing on her body, immediately, those reporters who were at the entrance of the museum caught on.
“Oh my, where is this guest from? So beautiful and regal, like a queen on high.”
“Yeah, it should be of distinguished status.”
“Hurry up and take pictures hurry up ……”
In less than two seconds, Wen Xuxu has not even gone over yet, those cameras are all shooting up at her.
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not only in the market, but also in the marketplace.
How can such an identity not be illustrious?
Wen Shuxu stepped on high heels and went over in an elegant manner.
Shen Yuanling followed behind, originally, according to the plan, he was to go in hand in hand with this woman, so that they could show their relationship.
However, at this moment, he looked at this woman’s back.
He suddenly felt ashamed of himself!
He did not dare to go forward, let alone hold her hand, she was like the most dazzling pearl, he, Shen Yuan Ling, was not worthy of it!
So in the end, it was until the two entered the museum.
He was just a small attendant in the cameras of those reporters.
“Madam, do you have an invitation, please? We need a registration on our side.”
“……”
“Yes yes yes.”
Only then did Shen Yuanling hurry up and take out the invitation that Lan Yuan had given him earlier.
The staff received it, “So it’s Young Master and Madam Pei, please come in, please come in.”
Wen Shuxu: “……”
Coming in, looking at the tables already set up in the hall and the artifacts lined up all around, Wen Xuxu looked for a place with fewer people and finally, she stared at the person following behind.
“What exactly did you mean by your words just now? Why did you say it was Huo Sijiu at the end?”
Chapter 1242
“Also, you and I are coming in now as husband and wife, so really, if you send me to the White House, won’t you be the one who wants to be emperor?”
She really was smart.
Even at this point in time, she was still calm enough to instantly sense that something was wrong inside.
Shen Yuanling’s face changed.
But in the end, he did not hide it and went on to tell the truth.
“That was just a show for others.”
“Who?”
Wen Shuxu immediately asked again.
But this time, this God Yuan Ling was not making a sound, but after standing and sweeping the surroundings, suddenly, he asked in a low voice, “If you want to leave now, I can help you.”
“……”
Wen Shuxu was flabbergasted for a moment.
Probably, it was because he did not expect that he would actually say such a thing.
He was going to let her go?
She hadn’t heard wrong, had she? He didn’t know that she still had explosives strapped to her body?
He didn’t know that if she ran away, what kind of punishment would he face when he returned? Possibly death?
Wen Shuxu became more and more suspicious.
It was not only because he suddenly said this, but also because of the words he had just said, “to put on a show for others”. It can’t be the people in this party, right?
Wen Shuxu vaguely felt a hint of something bad.
Soon, the party started.
Wen Xuoxu did not answer this question, but went to the seats first.
“Dear guests, I am very grateful for your support this time, as you all know, this is the first time our country lost overseas cultural relics return, the significance is very significant.”
After the host saw everyone taking their seats, he also started to speak.
The main purpose of this kind of banquet, in fact, is to get wealthy people in the community to donate money, because the return of cultural relics will face many expenses.
For example, restoration, preservation, research ……
and so on.
So, in a situation where the rich people can wrestle for fame and the organizers can gain profit, both parties will hold a banquet of this kind.
Wen Shuxu was once the wife of the president of the Zaibatsu group, so of course she understood this, so she had a moment to play with the small box that she brought over while the host was speaking.
“Isn’t this …… a purple jade comb?”
Unexpectedly, as she was playing with it, someone else next to her recognised the box.
Purple jade comb?
Wen Shuxu turned her head to look at this person.
“You know this?”
“Recognize it, isn’t this the same thing that our former founding female patriarch Situ Jingxuan used, it’s a set with the purple cloud mirror that returned today, don’t believe me, take it and see.”
This person talked endlessly, and also let Wen Xuoxu to confirm.
Wen Xuoxu was stunned.
So, what was in this box was her grandmother’s?
Then it seemed that this was Lan Yuan’s way of getting her to disclose her identity, as long as she took this purple jade comb and told everyone present here that this was her grandmother’s relic.
Then, she would become Situ Jingxuan’s granddaughter in name only.
Surprisingly, it was just that easy?
Wen Shuxu smiled: “Well, then I really don’t know, this box, I also looked good today, just bought it back from a jade merchant, if it is said to be really the female patriarch’s stuff, then I also donate it to the museum together.”
“Wow-”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire banquet hall was filled with a chorus of praise.
And the host, who was even more excited, came over.
“Madam, is it true what you said?”
“Of course it’s true, please accept it!”
Wen Shuxu handed the box out directly, so fast that God Yuan Ling next to him couldn’t even stop it.
“What are you doing? Do you know you’re in big trouble?”
After the box was taken away, Shen Yuan Ling finally couldn’t hold back and questioned in shock and anger.
Wen Shuxu then looked at him coldly: “What kind of trouble have you caused? Are you trying to say that old thing will kill me? Come on!”
She pointed to her chest, meaning that he could detonate the explosives on his body right now.
Shen Yuan Ling: “……”
With a jerk, he grabbed her hand and pulled her up from her position.
Then, darted towards the door of this banquet hall.
“What are you doing? God Yuan Ling? You let go of me!”
“I let you go of what? Do you know that this place is actually a huge trap laid by Lan Yuan? The purpose was to lure your husband to come and hunt? Do you really think this is some kind of museum banquet? That’s just fish bait thrown to your husband!”
This man, finally, when he could not hold back any longer, told the whole truth.
Wen Shuxu was dumbfounded!
For a while, when she was dragged out of the museum by this man choking on his heels, she only then dragged him to death.
“How is this possible? My husband he went to the Northwest, how could he have come here?”
“You really think he went to the North West?”
“No!”
Wen Shuxu immediately denied it.
Because, indeed, she didn’t think, either, that Huo Sijiu had gone to the Northwest, she was more convinced that he was sounding out the West.
But why did this place become Lan Yuan’s main hunting ground?
Wasn’t it supposed to be her man’s plan?
He had struck west by sounding east, which had caused the old thing to let its guard down and finally let her out, and then, when the time came, he had rescued her.
And then move to destroy it in one fell swoop.
It was the perfect plan!
But why had it suddenly backfired?
Wen Shuxu was like waves of shock rolling in, her mind so chaotic that she couldn’t calm down at all.
“Do you really think Lan Yuan is stupid? I’ll tell you one more thing, back then, the reason why Lan Ling, could become the founding father of the country, was all due to this brother of his, every battle plan he had, was planned by his brother, do you understand?”
“……”
The air, finally, completely froze.
