Chapter 402 High

When Prince Yi brought Mu Nanjin to the main hall, Captain Liu kept giving them looks, signaling them not to hand over the genealogy book to Mu Nanjin, otherwise the secrets of the royal family would be uncovered.

The two princes were not stupid. They had heard about Mu Nanjin's affairs long ago, so they would not hand over the genealogy book to her. Moreover, they had heard from the left prime minister about how to deal with Mu Nanjin, and they would not be stupid enough to reveal the names of the royal family to Mu Nanjin.

Prince Yi poured Mu Nanjin a cup of tea: "Duke, please have tea."

Prince Guang picked up the white book and said: "Duke, we are busy registering funeral affairs today, please take a look."

If it were not for others, they would definitely not show the book to others casually, but Mu Nanjin was different. The emperor allowed her to enter and exit every government office and allow her to manage anything. If they did not show her the book, it would be tantamount to disobeying the emperor's order.

The so-called book is actually a folded paper, the same size as a memorial, but half a foot behind.

Its function is to record the funeral affairs of every deceased royal family member, that is, the people registered in the book are all deceased.

Even if Mu Nanjin knows a lot of things, she cannot use the dead to make a fuss. After all, the dead are the greatest, and she should respect the dead no matter how ignorant she is. Even if she knows some shocking secrets, as long as it is not something that angers the heavens and the people, the emperor will not pursue it. So giving her the funeral book is the wisest choice.

What's more...

Mu Nanjin took the book and asked, "Is there no royal book in the family tree?"

Prince Guang replied, "There is none today. The main reason is that if no one wants to enter it into the family tree on weekdays, we will not easily take out the royal book. After all, the royal book records the birth dates of the entire royal family. To prevent people with bad intentions from using the birth dates of royal family members to do bad things, we will seal it up and take it out when a royal family member is born. Moreover, it will only be taken out once a year. We will take out the royal book on the day before New Year's Eve and record the birth dates of children born that year, and then seal it up and take it out next year."

Liu Qianhu was relieved when he heard them say this.

Without the list, Mu Nanjin could not think about things that would make people hate him.

Mu Nanjin didn't have to read it, so she turned to the first page of the white book, which recorded the funeral of Princess Lang'an of Langfeng City. This person died of illness before she was twelve years old, and the princess's closest relatives had long since passed away. The local government helped her hold the funeral, and only a few distant relatives came from afar to attend the funeral, and the scene was sad.

She felt that there was nothing to see, so she turned to the next page.

However, the back was blank.

"Why is there only one person's funeral? What about the others?"

Prince Guang said: "We just received the news of Princess Lang'an's death today. Coincidentally, the pages of the book that once recorded the girl's death before she got married were full, so we had to get a new book to record Princess Lang'an's funeral."

Captain Liu quietly gave Prince Guang a thumbs up.

Great.

Only a humble princess who lived in a remote place and had no close relatives was registered in the white book. It was difficult for Mu Nanjin to expose the secrets of others, not to mention that she was dead, so there was nothing to say.

Mu Nanjin asked: "What about the funeral books of other people?"

"They are all placed in Xiao'an Hall for worship. We cannot take them out at will without the emperor's permission."

Mu Nanjin glanced at him.

[Do the two princes think I am a fool? Do you think I can't see that they don't want me to touch these books? ]

[I am puzzled. I am just looking at it, not eating it. Why are they guarding me like a thief? ]

[Now with their attitude, I can't see the marriage book and the title book even if I want to. 】

Prince Yi said with a smile: "Duke, the funeral book only records the affairs of a princess, and there is nothing else interesting. Why don't we put down the book and have a cup of tea and chat?"

"Who said there is nothing else interesting?"

Mu Nanjin looked at the name of Princess Lang'an and said: "I can see a lot of things from the book."

Prince Yi and Prince Guang were stunned.

This Princess Lang'an is a distant relative of theirs. If it weren't for the local government's report, they would have almost forgotten that there was such a distant relative in Langfeng City. If Princess Lang'an didn't have a little blood relationship with them, they would not have recorded her in the royal funeral book.

Even they didn't know about Princess Lang'an, so they didn't believe that Mu Nanjin could see anything by looking at Princess Lang'an.

Prince Yi asked: "Duke, please allow me to ask you out of curiosity. What can you find out from just looking at a book? Can you tell us what you found out?"

Mu Nanjin looked at the name of Princess Lang'an and said: "Princess Lang'an's grandfather, Prince De, and his grandmother were Princess Zhensi, and Princess Zhensi was the late emperor's aunt. The late emperor gave her the title of princess because she treated him like his own son."

Prince Yi and Prince Guang: "!!!!"

If the local officials of Langfeng City had not reported Princess Lang'an's affairs, they would not have known who Princess Lang'an was.

The Emperor had conferred the title of Duke of De, the grandfather of Princess Lang'an, on Princess Zhensi because of his love for Duke of De, and listed them in the family tree. Of course, the main reason was that Duke of De lost his father when he was a child and was raised by Princess Zhensi, so Duke of De changed his surname to Liang with Princess Zhensi to be eligible to be included in the family tree.

Although they were relatives, they had only met Duke of De once, let alone his granddaughter.

Captain Liu quickly glanced at the book, which only said that Princess Lang'an was Duke of De's granddaughter, and did not mention Princess Zhensi.

It seemed that Mu Nanjin had seen the story of Duke of De from her "gossip news" again.

"Princess Zhensi's grandson, Prince Shun, has a good relationship with you. By the way, Prince Shun's grandson Liang Huanlin also works in the Imperial Clan Palace and is currently in charge of guarding the prison cells in the Imperial Clan Palace. Although his position is not high, his salary is more than that of a first-rank official."

Prince Yi and Prince Guang: "!!!"

Didn't the Left Prime Minister say that as long as Mu Nanjin didn't know his name, she wouldn't be able to reveal the other party's secrets.

But now you can see so many things just by looking at the funeral book of Princess Lang'an? You even know Liang Huanlin's salary clearly! !

Prince Yi frowned: "The book doesn't say anything, how do you know so many things? Did you investigate before you came?"

Mu Nanjin said: "Yes, I investigated. I found out that you won't show me the family tree book today, and I also checked that you will only use the funeral book today, and I also investigated whose name you will record today."

Prince Yi: "..."

They only received the news of Princess Lang'an's death this morning, so she couldn't have the opportunity to investigate this matter.

That means the Duke of Zhenguo really has great supernatural powers and knows a lot of information that is known to others.

Mu Nanjin asked: "I also saw some things, do you want to hear them?"

Darlings, it's the end of the month, if you have monthly tickets, remember to vote for them, otherwise they will be cleared next month.

Thank you all darlings here.
