Jinling Twelve Nights

In the first year of Xuande's reign in the Ming Dynasty, the chirping of cicadas in Nanjing was soaked in blood. The medical girl Su Zhaoning knelt in front of the charcoal basin in Dongnuan Pavilion, staring at half of a Datura petal in the medicine residue - this was the poison in Prince Zhu Zhanji's "wind-cold" prescription. What shocked her even more was that the osmanthus sachet that her mother had given her before she died was stained in the scratches on half of the gold charm in her sleeve. The massacre of the Huai Prince's family twenty years ago, the prince's private visit to Huai'an ten years ago, the "Yong'an" burned down last night... All clues point to a golden talisman engraved with "Two Capitals Move Troops". Is she the orphan of King Huai? Is it the prince escorting the medical woman? Or is it the "little prince" that Lu Bing, the commander of the Imperial Guard, is searching for? On the canal, a shipwrecked corpse hides a secret message; on Guazhou Crossing, gunpowder ignites a blood-moon night; in Yangzhou City, a ruined temple hides its true face through a secret door. When Zheng He's embroidered spring knife was pressed against her throat, when Zhou Zheng's "pulling machine" was aimed at the prince's birthday, when half of the tiger talisman was exposed under Lu Bing's arrow scar—— Su Zhaoning finally saw clearly: The golden talisman is not a talisman, but a life-saving talisman. The hatred of Prince Huai's palace, the calamity of the prince, and twenty years of blood are all hidden in this half blood-stained golden talisman. And she was just an "abandoned piece" pushed to the front of the stage in this chess game of power. But abandoning a son can also kill a dragon. (Note: This book is set during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. It integrates real historical elements such as Jinyiwei, Water Transport, Imperial Hospital, etc., And revolves around the dual main lines of "The Secret of the Golden Talisman" and "The Orphan of King Huai".
