Chapter 052: Her Secret
"Wen Yanzhi, what about the sarcophagus and the jade coffin?" Just now there was only a female corpse in that room, and nothing else.
"In another room, I'll take you there. Today's Gu Yanran is like a curious baby, he has been asking him questions all the way, today he is in a good mood, and all the questions are answered patiently.
Gu Yanran nodded happily, and his steps were much brisker.
Before the limited time, she didn't take a good look at the jade coffin and the sarcophagus, only knew that the sarcophagus had the inscription of her name engraved on it, and she didn't know anything else.
The door in front of him was unlocked, Wen Yanzhi knocked on the door, turned the doorknob, and pushed the door in.
The people inside heard the voice, raised their heads, and were a little surprised to see that it was Wen Yanzhi, "Team Leader Wen." ”
Wen Yanzhi nodded in response, and walked in with Gu Yanran.
In the huge room, there are sarcophagi and jade coffins on the left and right, and several staff members are measuring the size and recording the data.
"How's the progress?" Wen Yanzhi took two pairs of gloves from the side, handed them to Gu Yanran, and then put them on himself.
"Now it's just measuring the data, there is nothing special on the sarcophagus and the jade coffin, there are too few points to study, and after half a day, I have done a preliminary material evaluation until now. A man who was measuring the jade coffin stopped what he was doing and walked over to Wen Yanzhi.
"Wait, send me a copy of the results. Wen Yanzhi walked to the other side of the jade coffin, half-squatted down, stroked the body of the jade coffin, and through the gloves, he felt the chill from the jade.
"Good. The man nodded, and seeing that Wen Yanzhi didn't need him here, he went to work again.
Gu Yanran walked next to him and put her hand on the jade coffin, the sudden coolness made her hand shrink, "It's so cold." ”
"Well, the material of this jade is very strange, the higher the outside temperature, the greater the contrast between it and the outside world, which is one of the reasons why the corpse can be preserved for so long without decay. "To preserve the corpse, all aspects of the conditions are indispensable, and the effect of the mercury liquid has long been lost for so many years, and it is thanks to this jade that the female corpse can be preserved so well.
"Even if such a large piece of jade is put together, it is extremely difficult. Gu Yanran took a closer look, when he was in the tomb before, it was too dark to see anything clearly, but now the original face of this jade coffin can be seen at a glance.
If you look closely, you will find that there are traces in the jade, some of which are broken traces, and more of them are the traces left by the jade coffin with various pieces of jade.
Such a large jade coffin costs countless amounts of jade, and it is necessary to find one with similar texture and similar color, which shows how time-consuming and labor-intensive this is.
"Is there any writing on it?" Gu Yanran squatted down, her hand caressed the surface of the jade coffin, and after a layer of gloves, it was difficult to feel the nicks on the surface of the jade, so she took off the gloves.
"Gu Yanran!" Wen Yanzhi frowned and looked at her unhappily.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yanran was a little puzzled, wasn't he okay just now, what happened to him? She was a little confused.
"Put the gloves on for me. Wen Yanzhi was a little helpless, why did she not have a long memory, she had touched the piece of sugar jade before, fortunately the mercury content was not much, the person was fine, she was fine, she completely forgot about the previous things, this time it was even more excessive, and she was ready to touch it with her bare hands, this jade coffin was directly filled with mercury liquid at that time.
I really don't know if she has no heart or no lungs or doesn't have a long memory.
"I can't touch ......anything with gloves on" Gu Yanran was a little aggrieved, now he would be dissatisfied even if she took off her gloves, but what she said was the truth.
"Just look. Wen Yanzhi interrupted her and didn't give her a chance to explain, he had been negligent before, and he couldn't give her this chance again this time.
Although he himself knew that after a few days, there should be no big problem with this jade coffin, but the slightest possibility was not allowed to exist, after all, he could not ensure that it was foolproof.
Gu Yanran pursed his lips and put on his gloves obediently.
Gu Yanran was not afraid in the past, Xu Yichen always said that she didn't look like a normal girl, and she didn't know who would be able to suppress her in the future, what Xu Yichen didn't know was that it was not that there was no one, but that person did not appear at that time.
Seeing her put her gloves back on, Wen Yanzhi stretched her brows, lowered her head and continued to be busy.
Gu Yanranzai carefully checked it a few times, not letting go of a single corner, she was afraid that the words were small and shallow, and she ignored them, because this situation had not happened before.
But there was nothing but some minor scratches, and her eyes were sore after too long.
She has checked inside and out, and there is nothing at all, is it really just a simple jade coffin?
However, her instincts told her that it should not be that simple, because sometimes her instincts are still very accurate.
She walked to the sarcophagus on the other side and found the place where the words were engraved before, and the words "The Tomb of Princess Liu Chupei of Linhuai Kangai" appeared in front of her.
In the past, she simply used the touch of her hand to distinguish the words, and she could only vaguely distinguish what the words were, but this time she could see them clearly.
There is nothing special about the other words, only the word "Pei" is very strange, and its last stroke is very long, as if it has been carved with a knife.
Who carved these words? She suddenly began to doubt her previous judgment, if Liu Chuyu or Liu Ziye had prepared the coffin in advance and found someone to engrave the inscription, it would be impossible to allow such a mistake to happen.
She gently stroked the word "Pei", each stroke of this word was deeply engraved, and she could imagine how much effort the person with this word used at that moment.
"Wen Yanzhi, come and see. Gu Yanran beckoned, signaling Wen Yanzhi, who was recording the number of jades on the side, to come over.
Not only did she hear Wen Yanzhi's voice, but several other people were also attracted to her, and everyone walked behind Gu Yanran one after another.
"Did you find anything?" The other people were a little curious, a few of them looked at it for a day, except for the words on it, nothing else was found, the girl in front of them didn't look very old, and they didn't know what the origin was, but because it was brought by Wen Yanzhi, they subconsciously felt that this girl should not be simple.
"The word 'pei' is not engraved. Gu Yanran pointed out the word 'pei' to them.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with me. A man standing behind her spoke, he was responsible for the inscription, at this time Gu Yanran's words were tantamount to slapping him in the face, he has been in this line for three or four years, although there is no great achievement, but there has never been any big mistake, he didn't see anything, could it be that the little girl in front of him can find anything?
The last stroke of this character is a little longer, and this character is twice as deep as the others. Gu Yanran turned his head and looked at the owner of the voice, he didn't look young, he should also have some experience, why didn't he see it?
"So what?" What does the deep engraving of the words represent? He felt that the girl in front of him was playing tricks here, and she didn't know how to pretend to understand, but because it was brought by Team Leader Wen, he didn't dare to say anything, he secretly glanced at Wen Yanzhi, and saw that he was just standing aside, his eyes were soft, so that he suppressed the dissatisfaction with Gu Yanran in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it.
So it means that this sarcophagus was prepared temporarily, and it was not carved by a stonemason. "The deceased is big, the inscription is extremely exquisite, there is no room for mistakes, not to mention the royal tomb, now it seems that there may not be a big problem, but at that time, carved like this, it is impossible not to lose the head, and it is impossible to use it as a sarcophagus.
In addition, she felt that this could not be carved by Liu Chuyu herself, and carving a stone tablet required proper control of the force, which a woman who was raised in the deep palace could not do at all.
This is what she is most puzzled about, who carved this inscription, why there are only these few words, and there is no other content, this situation has never been seen in any tomb.
"Okay, let's all go about our own business, and waste a day with nothing. Wen Yanzhi stood aside and said lightly to catch people away, he frowned, and a group of people were all around Gu Yanran to do something.
Several people still had questions in their hearts and wanted to ask Gu Yanran, but seeing that Wen Yanzhi was a little displeased, they didn't dare to stand anymore and scattered in all directions.
"Do you still think this is Liu Chuyu's tomb?" Seeing that there was no one else beside him, Wen Yanzhi half-squatted down, his eyes were level with her, and asked her.
Gu Yanran didn't speak, and now a thought popped up in her heart that she didn't dare to think or believe: this is not Liu Chuyu's tomb, but it is indeed Liu Chupei's tomb.
But when she was buried alive, she was surrounded by Liu Chuyu's people, Anu was not there, Yanzhi and Xie Heng were not there, even the second emperor brother disappeared inexplicably, and her people had already been imprisoned by Liu Chuyu, executed and executed, no one knew where she was buried, how could she still have a tomb, who would bury her?
Gu Yanran. Wen Yanzhi called to her softly, and when he saw her raise her head, he continued: "Many things, what you see are not necessarily true, but they are not necessarily fake. ”
Gu Yanran understood the meaning of his words.
Before, she had always said that this was Liu Chuyu's tomb, just because she saw those things that belonged to Liu Chuyu, she felt that those inscriptions were illusions, and Liu Chuyu was blind.
But on the other hand, what if the burial goods were fake, and the inscriptions were real?
Gu Yanran's heart couldn't stop trembling, and his right hand slowly stroked the three words "Liu Chupei" on the inscription, which was clearly a sarcophagus without temperature, but it made Gu Yanran's fingers and heart hot.
Wen Yanzhi looked at Gu Yanran on the side with a gloomy expression, his eyes were moist, he didn't speak, but there was an undercurrent in his heart.
He has always felt that Gu Yanran has a lot of secrets, from when she first saw her, she recognized the wrong person, to the piece of sugar jade in the hands of the female corpse in the tomb, to her very familiar with the objects and people of the Southern Song Dynasty, and she is particularly attentive to this No. 7 tomb.
When I think about it now, everything seems confusing, but in fact, everything is intrinsically connected.
At this moment, he seemed to suddenly understand that in fact, everything would eventually detour to a person, and her secret came from this.
That person is Liu Chupei.
