Chapter 264 The Origin of the Dragon-patterned Silver Medal
Gu Yebei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and had no intention of continuing to argue with her.
He is not worried about the safety of his granddaughter.
Not only does his granddaughter have a universal space, she also knows martial arts and Sanda. He knows that ordinary people cannot bully her.
What's more, she has a powerful and reliable flower-guarding messenger like Feng Wuhen by her side to protect her!
"Nini, let's go inside and chat." Gu Yebei said softly.
Jiang Yimo nodded obediently to show her agreement: "Okay."
She also wanted to know what Gu Yebei said when he entered the palace to meet the emperor today.
Then, Qingzhu took a step forward and gently pushed the door open.
Jiang Yimo and Gu Yebei walked into the house side by side, and Feng Wuhen followed closely behind them and entered the room.
After the three of them entered the room, Qingzhu gently and tenderly closed the door for them and turned to leave.
At this moment, the room was completely silent, as if time had stood still.
Gu Yebei frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he finally spoke: "Nini, aren't you curious about this silver medal with dragon pattern? Tonight, let the evil king tell you the story behind it."
After saying this, he turned his gaze to the Evil King who was sitting beside him.
When Jiang Yimo heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
She stared at Gu Yebei with wide eyes and asked in confusion: "Grandpa, how can this dragon-patterned silver medal be related to the Evil King?"
She really couldn't figure it out.
The evil king raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.
He said softly, "Nini, this is a long story... This silver medal with dragon pattern has a great history. It was once the golden medal of immunity from death bestowed by the late emperor to my grandfather. There is only one such medal in the world!"
"Later, because my grandfather doted on my mother and was worried that she would be bullied by others after entering the palace, he resolutely decided to give this silver medal with dragon pattern to my mother as a dowry..."
His words slowly fell, accompanied by the evil king's low and magnetic voice.
At the end, Feng Wuhen added: "Later, when I was a few years old, I fell into the water and nearly died. At that critical moment, your mother Gu Zhiyu appeared like a goddess descended from the sky and pulled me back from the gates of hell."
"At that time, your mother was still unmarried, but she had a kind heart. In order to repay your mother for saving her life, your mother gave this silver medal with dragon pattern to your mother..."
After hearing his words, Jiang Yimo was stunned, her eyes full of surprise and confusion. She never thought that her mother had such a thrilling experience.
After a while, she came to her senses and couldn't help but admire her mother's courage and kindness.
However, Jiang Yimo still didn't understand something, so she asked curiously, "This silver medal with dragon pattern was clearly given to your grandfather, and I heard that it is a supreme honor, and only your grandfather's family can use it, right? Your mother gave it to my mother, isn't that against the rules?"
There was a hint of confusion in his words.
When Feng Wuhen heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
"There is no such rule in Donglin Kingdom!" He said softly, with a hint of teasing in his voice, "Every generation of emperors must recognize this silver medal. This is an iron rule! Unless the dynasty changes, no one can violate it."
"However, this dragon-patterned silver medal has another special feature - it can only be used once!"
"So, the silver medal with dragon pattern in your hand is the only one since the founding of the country. But... it has been used now! No one will want to use it anymore."
"At the same time, the palace has already taken note of this matter! So, from now on, this silver plate with dragon pattern is just an ordinary silver plate. It has no practical use!"
After saying this, Feng Wuhen smiled again, as if mocking the other person's ignorance and naivety.
"It's such a wonderful treasure. Concubine Xian was so generous to give it to my mother."
After he finished speaking, Gu Yebei smiled slightly, revealing a doting smile.
"You little girl, your thoughts are still too naive. This dragon-patterned silver plate is indeed a rare treasure, but because of this, it often becomes the target of everyone's covetousness."
"If such a hot potato is left in the hands of Empress Xian, it will not only bring her endless troubles and dangers, but may even arouse the emperor's suspicion and vigilance."
"After all, someone with ulterior motives could use this item to do something bad... Rather than holding on to it, it's better to take advantage of this opportunity and turn it into a precious souvenir."
"In this way, we can avoid potential risks and achieve our Gu family's wish of returning to the imperial city and reuniting as a family."
Feng Wuhen, who was sitting nearby, became a little unnatural in an instant when he heard Gu Yebei say this so bluntly, and even looked a little embarrassed and awkward.
In fact, it was only after careful consideration that he gradually understood that there must be a deep meaning behind the reason why his mother gave the extremely precious silver medal with dragon pattern to Gu Zhiyu.
Firstly, doing so could successfully divert the potential crisis; secondly, it was to thank Gu Zhiyu for saving his life and to save the Gu family.
Because Empress Xian had long known that someone would deliberately make things difficult for the Gu family, and it was impossible to prevent it. If the silver plate with dragon pattern was given to Gu Zhiyu for safekeeping, then when the Gu family was facing a life-and-death situation, Gu Zhiyu could use this plate to ask the emperor for help, thus saving the lives of everyone in the Gu family.
But Empress Xian had not expected that Gu Yeji had strongly opposed the use of this silver medal with dragon pattern to save the Gu family and avoid the suffering of exile.
But now, in order to return to the imperial city and reunite with his beloved grandson and granddaughter, he took this extremely precious silver medal with dragon pattern from Jiang Yimo without hesitation and used it to gain more benefits for the Gu family.
However, Feng Wuhen did not know the inside story. He certainly could not have imagined that the current Gu Yebei had actually undergone a drastic change - his soul had long since changed, and he was no longer the stubborn and conservative original owner of the past.
Jiang Yimo listened quietly and agreed with her grandfather's approach.
She didn't know what the original owner of her grandfather's body was thinking. If he had listened to his daughter and taken out the silver plate with dragon pattern to save their Gu family, perhaps the original owner's mother would not have died, Gu Yankai would not have been missing for so many years before being found, and the Gu family would not have suffered the crime of exile.
Alas, sometimes people really can’t be too stubborn.
