Master Puru appeared remorseful, his face almost completely burned beyond recognition, only his eyes could still be recognized.
Tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes, "I know I shouldn't have caused trouble for Benefactor Bai, but…"
His voice was too choked to continue, so he paused, "This was my master's last wish, he told me to keep it safe and never give it to the Emperor's family. It should only be opened before every new emperor is enthroned, and we must follow its instructions. If no new emperor is enthroned, then it must not be opened."
"You haven't opened it yet?" Bai Ruozhu asked.
Seeing the golden pendant in her hand, Puru shook his head slightly, "What I gave you is a key. What needs to be opened is a mechanical box, hidden in the Scripture Pavilion, but I don't know if it's still there."
Bai Ruozhu frowned, with such a large fire, it might have been destroyed or damaged by the flames, and even with a key, it might not open.
