Text_Chapter 178 The Wrongful Death?
"This medicine can only wake up the ghost prince for an hour every day, after this hour, he will fall asleep again, and this medicine will never work again on the same day, it must wait until the next day to be useful, and this bottle of medicine only has a month's medicinal properties!"
Tang Ning's words later, like a basin of cold water poured Li Bei from the top of his head to his feet, that is to say, Yin Dao's illness was not cured at all, he looked at Tang Ning again, and understood her meaning from her eyes, "Take Ximen Yichen's whereabouts, and exchange the antidote with her!" With this belief, Li Bei left Tang Ning's residence, and when he went out, he once again wrapped himself in airtight air and disappeared into the night.
Ximen Yichen, wait for me...... Looking at the night outside the window, Tang Ning said softly in his heart.
The next day, the person sent by Qi Donglai woke up Tang Ning, "Girl, Childe is already waiting for you outside!"
Tang Ning sounded, yesterday Qi Dong came to tell her that today is the day of the burial of the first emperor of Tianlong, in a sense, the first emperor of Tianlong is also his own half father, the grandfather of the child in his womb, Ximen Yichen is not there, she should go to see the first emperor of Tianlong for the last journey, it is good that the identity is public, at least in full view, Ximen Yifeng can't know what to do to himself, after all, Tang Ning did not make a mistake, and now she has an additional identity, the granddaughter of the Lin family, Lin Chongzhi can pretend not to know herself, but if Lin Yuanqiao knows, he will definitely not let it go, the Lin family is now not taking action is more terrible than taking action, because it is unpredictable, I don't know what kind of attitude they will take towards Tang Ning, so Ximen Yifeng doesn't dare to do anything to himself, which can be seen from the silence of the past few days!
Ximen Yichen, I want to take your heart, standing in the sun with dignity, there is no need to hide at all, Tang Ning changed his clothes at the moment, not like in the past, she was always wrapped in black clothes, today, she is dressed in white, and her thick long hair is also tied in any heavy bun, just tied with a strand of hair at will, the whole person looks, ethereal like a fairy falling from the sky, because of injuries on her body, she walked slowly, less sharp and agile in the past, and more gentle softness, such Tang Ning, can only be seen when she is injured。
She walked out of the courtyard, Qi Donglai had already stood under the dragon brocade tree, yesterday an autumn wind, the ground fell a remnant of flowers, when the wind rose, the remnant flowers flew under Qi Donglai's feet, floating between the two, cutting off Qi Donglai's sight, it seemed to be in a trance, he vaguely saw a Ting, was coming slowly, he stood there, quietly, focused, affectionate, looking at the white figure, he hoped how much Tang Ning walked into his heart at the moment, and then stayed in his heart forever, never to leave.
The original miss, today, he is willing to repay with deeper affection!
Qi Donglai was waiting for her, but Tang Ning just walked past him and walked directly towards the carriage waiting outside the door!
The subordinates who followed next to him all glanced at Qi Donglai sadly, he was left behind, alone.
……
West Mountain, is the imperial tomb of the royal family, the autumn day, it seems particularly high, the sky is blue like washing, the clouds are pieced, the colorful sunlight shines on the blue bricks and red tiles of the imperial city, the mourning music of the funeral is slowly played, Ximen Yifeng is dressed in a white pickaxe clothes, walking in the forefront of the procession, behind him, is a tall mahogany coffin, the coffin is thick and heavy, pulled by eight horses, behind the coffin, is the men and women who were martyred this time, they wept, not for the first emperor, but for themselves!
Here, most of them are flower-like girls, this world, there are too many things to change, and their own abilities are limited, Tang Ning followed Qi Donglai, and in the team of guests, followed Changlong and slowly walked in the direction of Xishan.
Out of the city, it is a muddy place, last night, there was an autumn rain, Ximen Yifeng had already sat on the dragon chariot to go up the mountain first, Qi Donglai and Tang Ning as guests, were also arranged to a carriage, saving the fatigue of walking up the mountain, Tang Ning said to Qi Dong: "You go first, I want to hike up the mountain!"
Qi Donglai was stunned for a moment, then jumped off the carriage, without any extra words, he had already waved his hand to let the coachman drive the carriage away, "I'll accompany you!"
Tang Ning nodded, because some people had already left behind Ximen Yifeng, the funeral procession was suddenly a lot shorter, Tang Ning was closer to the coffin of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor, and the cries of those buried men and women echoed around, making Tang Ning's heart feel as if a boulder had been pressed, and it was very uncomfortable!
She is a human being, not a god, and she is destined to be unable to change the world! The use of living people for burial was a cruel and barbaric system in ancient China, and after the Qin and Han dynasties, it was somewhat restrained and often replaced by wooden figurines and terracotta figurines. After the Qin and Han dynasties, few people were buried. But in the Liao Dynasty, the wind of martyrdom revived, and after the death of Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji, Shu Luping even forced more than 100 ministers to be martyred. After that, the Jin, Yuan, and early Ming dynasties all had a martyrdom system. It was not until Ming Yingzong ended the funeral system, and in the early Qing Dynasty, the funeral system reappeared again, and it was not until Kangxi that the funeral system of the feudal era ended, which was imperial power.
Walking all the way, Tang Ning's heart was heavy, suddenly, there was a groan in front of her, and she looked up, it turned out that because the mountain road was difficult to walk, and it had just rained last night, the road was slippery, and the wheels of the carriage pulling the coffin were stuck in the mud puddle.
The men in the funeral procession hurriedly stepped forward to help push the carriage, wanting to bring the carriage up from under the mud pit, "Hey, hey......" Everyone shouted the trumpet, because it was the road up the mountain, a little slope, the carriage that these people just pushed was a little loose, and as soon as it was loosened, the wheels creaked, but it sank deeper.
Now, everyone is in a hurry, how can this be good? If the first emperor can't be buried at the auspicious time, it will be a capital crime to kill the head!
"The first emperor is unwilling to go, unwilling to go!"
"Could it be that the first emperor still has any unfulfilled wishes?"
"Isn't it, the first emperor died unjustly?"
In the folk, there is a saying that if a person's eyes are not closed after death, it means that the death is wronged, or the living have something to sit on the ground that is not in place, the deceased will always keep his eyes open, and some family members will even give up the burial of the deceased because of this, and put the body at home to worship until the deceased closes his eyes, of course, Tang Ning looks at it from the perspective of modern medicine, which also has a certain scientific basis, why the dead will open his eyes, it is because he has time to close his eyes before death, but the Dragon Emperor will not, he is a natural old death, and the moment of normal death, the eyes will definitely be closed!
The atmosphere of the scene was immediately gloomy by some people, in order to curb the spread of rumors, the guards who took the lead immediately reprimanded everyone, and at the same time, a row of guards waiting for the knife had already drawn out the long sword on their waists, and it was bright in front of everyone, and those who were still bowing their heads and whispering immediately stopped talking, and no longer dared to make any sound.
"My lord, how is this good, how is this good?" The adult in charge of this funeral was busy asking Li Bei on the side, among them, Li Bei is the highest official position, or a minister who is more favored by Ximen Yifeng, Li Bei smiled coldly in his heart, at this time I knew that I was looking for Lao Tzu, yesterday, the emperor named you when the funeral ceremony was set, didn't you show off to Lao Tzu triumphantly? You deserve to be unlucky," I said, Master Gu, I see that the first emperor trusted you very much during his lifetime, I'm afraid that I want you to go down to accompany his old man!"
Li Bei said sourly, that Master Gu's face suddenly turned pale, he knew that Li Bei was not going to help, as long as he was hard and let those people push hard again, this carriage was also more like they were stronger, the more they pushed, the deeper they sank, and in the end, half of the wheel was trapped, no matter how hard everyone tried, the wheel had been standing there without moving.
"First Emperor, First Emperor, please, don't embarrass the old minister!" Lord Gu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the coffin, the old face had lost all its blood color because of fear, and the top of everyone's heads seemed to be shrouded in a shadow of death, Tang Ning and Qi Donglai stood aside, Tang Ning just took a step, and was pulled back by Qi Donglai, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?"
As far as Tang Ning's current identity is concerned, I am afraid that before he arrived at the coffin, he has been stabbed to death by the guard, this coffin, not to mention the weight of thousands of pounds, in order to show the royal style, this coffin is not known how many times larger than the ordinary coffin, and the use of high-quality millennium agarwood, extremely heavy, those guards can't push it up, is it that Tang Ning's thin body that seems to be blown down by a gust of wind can lift the carriage up, this is physical work!
"Don't worry, I have my own measure!" Tang Ning took his arm away, walked out of the crowd, and said, "I have a way!"
The small voice echoed around the lifeless, those who lowered their heads raised their heads in surprise, followed the prestige, but only to see a woman with a veil and a layer of white veil walking slowly, that curling posture, that snow-white without a trace of dust, everyone couldn't help but look stunned, could it be that this is the fairy sent by God, God specially sent to rescue them?
"Yes!" Li Bei exclaimed, this woman, isn't Tang Ning?
Not only did Li Bei recognize the guards, but the guards who had seen Tang Ning in the Imperial Garden that day also recognized Tang Ning.
