Chapter 1321: Searching for Secrets
Back at the West Warm Garden, everyone sat together and had a happy dinner. After the meal, as usual, everyone did their own duties, and after all the work was done, they sat together in the courtyard and chatted.
When it was about to be time, Lin Wan instructed everyone to go to rest first, but he and Shangguan Yun went to the back garden for a walk, and then walked towards the observation pavilion as if nothing happened.
When he passed by the door, Jiang Tian on the side whispered: "Miss, Lan Ziyu has already come, on the opposite hillside." ”
Lin Wan hooked his lips and smiled, nodded slightly, and said, "Commander Jiang, please send someone to call Nuan Xin to send a pot of tea to entertain the guests." ”
Jiang Tian bowed and responded, "Yes, Miss." Then he glanced at the guard beside him, and the guard immediately bowed his hand and ran quickly into the garden.
Lin Wan and Shangguan Yun walked towards the lookout pavilion quietly, talking and laughing, as if they didn't know anything, and they didn't even look up the hillside out of the corner of their eyes.
After a while, Nuan Xin brought the tea, didn't say anything, automatically retreated to the door, and stood with Jiang Tian.
Lin Wan was not in a hurry, and sat in the observation pavilion with Shangguan Yun, drinking tea while chatting about the night and the Imperial Mausoleum Mountain.
Although Lin Wan had seen the whole picture of this mountain on the map a long time ago, he also knew that its name was Huangling Mountain. However, I have never heard of its name, and it is the first time I have heard a story about this imperial mausoleum mountain.
Shangguan Yun didn't know much, she only knew that many years ago, the imperial palace of Xiling Kingdom was in the imperial city, and it was not built on this mountain, which was the place where the royal family of Xiling Kingdom was buried after their death. However, later, there were several civil strife and wars in Xiling Kingdom, because the imperial palace was built in the city and was easily breached, so it was moved to Huangling Mountain more than a hundred years ago. And the name of Huangling Mountain was taboo by the emperors of previous dynasties, so no one mentioned its name more and more. Because it is the mausoleum of the royal family of Xiling Kingdom, no one dares to change its name, so it has to be continued.
Lin Wan listened to Shangguan Yun's narration, and then suddenly realized. couldn't help frowning and asked, "So now, if the royal family members of Xiling Kingdom die, will they still be buried here?"
Shangguan Yun thought about it, nodded, and said uncertainly: "It should be, I don't know very well." However, I remember hearing from the old man in the palace that the original mausoleum was built on the back mountain, that is, the place where we were, just below this hillside. However, I have been here for so long, and I have not yet found the entrance to the mausoleum, so perhaps the rumors are not true. ”
Lin Wan sighed lightly, nodded, and said, "If I were the emperor, I wouldn't tell anyone the location of my mausoleum." After a pause, he frowned and asked, "Yun'er, what are you looking for at the entrance of the mausoleum?"
Shangguan Yun was stunned, shook his head in a daze, and said, "No why, I've been playing here for several years, and I don't have anything to play, so I should look for secrets and treasures." ”
Lin Wan couldn't help laughing and sighed: "Fortunately, you didn't find it, otherwise it wouldn't be a secret treasure hunt, but a human head would have fallen to the ground." ”
Shangguan Yun couldn't help but shrink his neck, and said in disbelief: "Is it that serious? I don't believe that my cousin won't kill me." After speaking, he looked around, and saw that no one was approaching, so he leaned into Lin Wan's ear and whispered: "Qi Niang, do you know? There is a secret passage in the back mountain, and I suspect that the secret passage leads to the mausoleum, but I have never had the opportunity to enter it, and I can't confirm it." However, since you said it so seriously, even if there is a chance, I dare not go. ”
Seeing Shangguan Yun so obedient, Lin Wan couldn't help but smile and said, "Yun'er, you are not allowed to tell others about this matter in the future." Your cousin trusts you to let you come and go freely in this forbidden place, and if you tell such an important secret, it will cause him a lot of trouble, understand?"
Shangguan Yun nodded solemnly and said, "I know, I have known it for so many years, but I didn't say anything." I'm telling you because you're my sister. Moreover, my cousin let you live here, which also proves that he trusts you very much. ”
Lin Wan nodded with satisfaction, and said in her heart, this little girl seems to be simple-minded, but in fact, she is very clear in her heart, and when she analyzes the problem, she is also the way.
The observation pavilion is built against the mountain, with a back garden on one side and a winding mountain road on the other, although the night breeze blows, but it is sheltered by mountains and trees, but it is not too cold.
Lin Wan held the warm teacup, sipped it gently, and was silent for a while. I thought to myself, why hasn't Lan Ziyu come yet, can't it be because she saw through that she was waiting for her here, but she didn't dare to come, right?
Shangguan Yun frowned suddenly, lightly touched Lin Wan's arm, and motioned for her to look in the direction of the mountain road.
Lin Wan raised his eyes and looked at the mountain road, and sure enough, he saw Lan Ziyu wearing a luxurious palace dress, just as if he was walking by himself, with a haughty look on his face, looking down at Lin Wan coldly, and walking slowly with Nana.
Shangguan Yun looked at Lan Ziyu's cold eyes, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. Although Lan Ziyu's eyes were looking at Lin Wan, she was still very cautious and secretly warned herself that she couldn't look at Lan Ziyu's eyes. In case Lin Wan'er is in the way, and she is still awake, she can speak out to Commander Jiang and Nuan Xin for help. So, she lowered her eyes silently, only staring at Lan Ziyu's hands, if Lan Ziyu made any moves, she would definitely not be able to escape her eyes.
Lin Wan also looked at Lan Ziyu coldly, watching her gradually approach with an expressionless face, with a faint disgust in her eyes, as if she had seen an uninvited guest.
Lan Ziyu walked closer, and saw that Lin Wan didn't salute her or greet her, and she didn't know how to step down for a while, so she had to cough stiffly and asked lightly: "Miss Wei, the emperor ordered you to prepare an elixir for this princess to treat her scars within three days, but you later claimed illness and delayed this matter." You can't come up with the scar removal elixir without that ability, right?"
Lin Wan took a closer look at the wound on Lan Ziyu's left face, and sure enough, it had left a faint red mark. Although it can't be seen in the night, if it is in the sun, it will definitely be a big failure on her pretty face. Lin Wan hooked her lips slightly, and asked unhurriedly: "If I can take it out, what if I can't take it out, so what?"
Lan Ziyu furrowed her eyebrows, and said hatefully: "If you can help this princess remove the scars on her face, this princess can spare your life for the time being." If you can't take it out, don't blame Princess Ben for being unkind to you. Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince protects you again, it will be useless. What you promised in front of the emperor, if you can't do it, it will be the crime of deceiving the king!"
