Chapter 394: Into the Mountain

Xiao Ke nodded and asked, "When are you going to open the coffin?"

Xiao Ke once said that the first queen treated him like a mother, and he should also be concerned about this matter, and Dugu Weiwei did not doubt his motive for coming to ask about it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Gesture to what is being written at hand and say, "I can finish writing the lecture today, and I will see again tomorrow if there is anything missing, and I can do it the night after tomorrow." ”

Knowing her plan, Xiao Ke breathed a sigh of relief, he was ready, and he didn't rush her.

But seeing that she was busy during the day, but she couldn't rest as soon as possible at night, she was a little distressed.

Stretched out his hand to hang the hair hanging down his cheeks to her small ears, stretched out his arms around his waist and wrapped the person in his arms, and said face to face: "Don't stay up too long, go and rest when you are tired, these things are not in a hurry." ”

"Well, got it. Dugu Weiwei was very helpful for his concern, and smiled so much that he showed a small mouthful of fine teeth.

He kissed her twice on the side of the cheek, but he couldn't make any more moves, sighed regretfully, let go of the arm holding her, and quipped: "I have to finish my meal and leave, or your father will come over to chase people in a while." ”

Dugu Weiwei smiled and hugged his arm, and said, "How dare my father drive you!"

"Your father doesn't know how to rush, and your father will invite me to the front for a drink. Xiao Ke smiled.

Before he finished speaking, Dangdang came in and reported: "Miss, the master is here." ”

Xiao Ke raised his eyebrows, and the expression on his face seemed to say, look, I'm not wrong.

Dugu Weiwei couldn't help but sneer.

Dugu Shaotang stepped into the door and saw his daughter's smiling appearance, looked at her suspiciously, arched his hand and said: "I heard that the prince is coming, and the minister has prepared wine and food in the front yard, please go over and sit down." ”

Before Xiao Ke could speak, Dugu Weiwei couldn't help laughing, and went over to grab her father's arm and shake it back and forth, "Dad---- I've already asked the kitchen to cook food, and the prince will go back after eating, and I'll have dinner with my father another day." ”

Without waiting for Dugu Shaotang to refuse, he pushed him out, and coquettishly said: "Eh---- Daddy, you are tired for a day, go back and rest, and I will send the prince back in a while." ”

Dugu Shaotang walked out with her strength full of taste, and said in her heart, sure enough, the girl was outgoing, and the girl began to defend her son-in-law.

Walking out of the courtyard gate, I can still hear a series of giggles inside, and my heart is even more sad, I am hurt and petted, and the daughter who is held in the palm of my hand will become someone else's, this fact is as uncomfortable as picking my heart and liver every time I think of it.

The construction of the Imperial Mausoleum was a long project.

The Great Wei Dynasty was not founded for a long time, and Emperor Yuanyou began to build the imperial mausoleum in the fifth year of Yuanyou, when the country was at the beginning. Because of the successive wars, the treasury was empty, and the repair of the imperial tomb was stopped, which lasted for fifteen years, and then because of the deterioration of Emperor Yuanyou's health, he had to be hastily completed.

When Emperor Tianyou ascended the throne, Xiao Tong was in strong health, and before the matter of building the imperial mausoleum could be put on the agenda, Empress Wei passed away suddenly.

The emperor and queen have deep feelings, and Xiao Tong will be buried with Queen Wei a hundred years later, but the imperial mausoleum cannot be built for a while. In this case, the mausoleum can only be built outside the mausoleum first, and the Zigong of Empress Wei can be temporarily placed.

But this is for several years.

Dugu Weiwei and Xiao Ke, Xiao Duo, Xiao Yong, Xiao Jun five people, only took a few people to walk on the plank road in front of the mountain mausoleum, on both sides are upright cypress trees, the mountains are silent, and occasionally the chirping of the mountain owl seeps people comes, making the cemetery more and more gloomy.

In the area where the lanterns are dimly lit, the residences of the mausoleum keepers and the mausoleum halls are full of shadows, and the shadows are pressing. The cypress trees planted next to the temple have been quite impressive over the years, stretching out their mighty branches, like monster peepers with teeth and claws.

Xiao Junfang was sweating because she walked up the mountain, and she immediately fell in this quiet and cold environment, and she unconsciously leaned towards Xiao Duo's side.

Xiao Duo stretched out his arms to wrap around his sister's shoulders, Xiao Gong also took a diagonal step and walked side by side with them, and the brothers protected Xiao Jun in the middle.

Xiao Ke carried Dugu Weiwei's utensils box on his shoulder, crossed his arm early, and almost took Dugu Weiwei into his arms.

"I'm not afraid. Dugu Weiwei raised his head, there was no reckless tone, only a bland statement.

Xiao Ke rubbed her head, still hugging her. He knew that she was not afraid, she faced the corpse without changing her face, and was about to examine the dead man, how could she be cowardly on this plank road?

has such a female man's fiancée, in fact, it is quite useless for a man.

The eunuch in charge of the cemetery got the news early in the morning and restrained the others from coming out at will, so he hurried up to meet him.

Xiao Duo shook the sign in front of his eyes, and the eunuch bowed and retreated, and then hurriedly went up to open the door of the mausoleum where Empress Wei's Zi Palace was placed, and quietly disappeared into the darkness.

Leaving people outside, a few people stepped into the high threshold of the mausoleum.

The hall is lit with everlasting lamps, which illuminate the hall, but this light cannot warm the temperature in the hall at all.

The walls, the lamps, the carved partitions, the dust, the gauze tents, all of them are exquisite, all of them are splendid, but no matter how much they can make this hall a little more vibrant.

At the end of the cold and lonely palace, the coffin of Empress Wei was placed at the top of the high white marble steps.

A small house resembles a huge coffin, and the lonely, lifeless one is the home of the owner of this temple.

Xiao Jun's eyes were wet for a moment, and he bit his lip and choked: "Queen Mother......"

It's not the first time she's been here, it's been daytime before, and the hall is always guarded, so she doesn't feel so lonely.

But this time, because the mausoleum guards were dismissed in advance, this hall looked particularly bleak, and it also made the relatives feel even more concerned.

Xiao Duo and Xiao Yong also have red eyes, and their beloved mother is lying here alone, and any child will feel compassion.

Several people burned incense and bowed in front of the coffin, and Xiao Jun muttered in a sentence: "Queen mother, daughter is not filial...... I'm going to alarm you...... To find out your ......"

Xiao Duo bowed and continued Xiao Jun's words: "Queen Mother, my son is very rebellious, in order to find out the cause of your old man's death, he had to open the coffin for an autopsy. If you are really assassinated, the queen mother will bless her son to find the real murderer and avenge you!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed several times one after another.

After a few people finished worshipping, Xiao Gong went to call the people waiting outside the door to come in and prepare to open the coffin.

The coffin of the emperor and queen has four layers according to the system, and the coffin outside is carved with the pattern of Liuyun fairy deer on the big red ground, and the catalpa wood is mostly used, so it is called the azusa palace.

The servants brought in are actually selected craftsmen who make coffins, and they understand the structure of the coffin and can ensure that the damage is reduced in the process of opening the coffin to the greatest extent.

Busy over there, Dugu Weiwei opened the box she brought, took out the soaphorn and atractylodes to ignite, and then began to arm himself.

Put on a mask made of cotton, and let Xiao Ke help put on the anti-lace overall, and then put on gloves made of sheep intestines.
