“Yes!” Gu Nuo’er jumped down from his arms.

The silver bells on her small wrist rang crisply.

Gu Nuo’er looked like an owner of the place who had brought a guest home. She turned around and waved. “Brother, follow me in.”

Gu Ziliang put away the umbrella and leaned it against the wall in corridor before following Gu Nuo’er into the dilapidated hall.

He remained cautious at all times.

This was because most of the halls in the cold palace had been in disrepair for a long time. If the roof beams fell, it would be very dangerous.

He mustn’t hit Gu Nuo’er get hit.

However, the child seemed to be familiar with the way and walked straight to a seemingly ordinary floor tile before stopping.

She turned her head and called out softly, “Tenth Brother, help me move this rock away.”

Gu Ziliang quickly did as she said.

He picked up the thin floor tile and gently placed it aside.

However, at this moment, he saw a thick wooden box below!

The entire box was made of heavy mahogany that was resistant to decay and tides. Gold plates were also pasted to the four corners to prevent wear.

Beautiful engravings of auspicious clouds covered the entire box.

It was obvious that it was not an ordinary item!

How could there be such an expensive box in a place like the cold palace?

Perhaps sensing Gu Ziliang’s doubt, the child blinked her eyelashes and said, “This is Nuo’er’s treasure chest. There are some ‘trash’ inside that people sees as things that can no longer be used.”

“However, they’re priceless to Baby Nuo, so I placed them all here.”

After saying that, the child stuck out her butt and reached out to push the mechanism lock that the eighth prince had made for her. The lid of the box loosened.

Gu Nuo’er reached out and opened it. Gu Ziliang lowered his eyes to take a look. There were really a lot of things!

The child reached out and took out a half-burnt painting.

“This is the first painting that Eleventh Brother drew. At that time, he felt that it didn’t look good and wanted to burn it. I saved it and kept it!”

Gu Ziliang knew that his 11th brother was now a famous painter.

Now, he was traveling the four seas and entrusting the beauty of the mountains and seas to his brush.

One of his paintings could be sold for more than a thousand gold taels.

Countless collectors took pride in collecting the Eleventh Prince’s paintings.

This was because what he drew was not only an ordinary image, but it was also a detailed divine work that could make one’s emotions change!

Gu Nuo’er looked at the painting of a child pouncing on a butterfly.

She couldn’t help but chuckle. “Tenth Brother, let me tell you secretly. Eleventh Brother felt dissatisfied after painting and even cried badly because of this!

“However, only he and I know about this. He asked me not to say anything. Otherwise, he won’t appear manly.”

Gu Ziliang chuckled. “I’ll also keep it a secret for my sister and Eleventh Brother.”

“Yes! Tenth Brother, look at this. Does this shattered night pearl look like the face of a crying beauty from the side?”

The child held the only half of the night pearl in her hands and turned it to show Gu Ziliang.

As expected.

The cracks from the fall unintentionally looked like a beauty’s eyebrows, nose, and lips.

As for the tears the child was talking about, they was a small bulge below the like the depression on the pearl that seemed to be where the eye was.

Gu Ziliang nodded sincerely. “Yes, and its very beautiful.”

“That’s right!” Gu Nuo’er gently stroked the night pearl. “Perhaps this pearl is a beauty. After it broke, it hurt a lot and cried.

“At that time, Second Brother wanted to throw it away, but I couldn’t bear to, so I kept it.”

The child even showed Gu Ziliang many other items from her collection.

Basically, they were precious things that just had flaws on them.
