Chapter 215: Leaving
Madam Chi put the wooden box on the low wooden table and said, "Before your grandfather passed away, he asked me to keep this and give it to you when you decide to study medicine. Now, Aunt will give this to you and fulfill your grandfather’s last wish."
Duan Yixin opened the wooden box and saw three books and a jade token inside. She picked up the jade token and saw a word engraved on it.
She traced the word with her fingers and murmured in a low voice, "Wan?"
When Xuan Ruiquan saw the jade token, his eyes flickered. He stared at the jade token carefully and knew that he was right. This jade token is indeed his maternal uncle’s jade token.
The previous emperor only made three special jade tokens, two of which were given to Emperor Yong’an and the late First Empress. After the death of the First Empress, one of the jade tokens was buried with her. Sitting beside Duan Yixin, Xuan Ruiquan was very surprised to see the third jade token in this remote mountain village.
Not noticing Xuan Ruiquan’s surprise, Duan Yixin looked at Madam Chi and asked, "Aunt Wang, was this jade token really given to me by my grandfather?"
Madam Chi looked at Chi Junheng and saw him nodding. Then she looked at Duan Yixin and said, "Yes. Xin Xin, that jade token is very important and can save your life. Please remember to keep it properly. When you face a life-and-death situation, take that jade token to the imperial capital city and find the emperor. He will save you."
Hearing what she said, Duan Yixin opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Find the Emperor?"
Madam Chi nodded and said, "Yes. But remember not to use it if you still have a way to survive. Remember, the imperial capital city and imperial palace are the most dangerous places for you. Try not to go there if you can."
