Chapter 145: Life and Death

Night falls, Zhongshu Province.

Wang Xianzhi, as the Zhongshu Order, is the highest position in Zhongshu Province, although today is the burial ceremony of the Empress Dowager Chu, the people of Zhongshu Province can not be idle.

In the evening, Wang Xianzhi was busy with all the matters at hand, and then he had to leave Zhongshu Province and go back to Wang's house.

Walked to the outer room of Zhongshu Province, but there was no opinion that there was a piece of paper under the hard couch, he was a little suspicious, so he bowed down and picked it up, opened it and saw the word "Xiao Taoge" at first sight.

"Xiao Taoge, Taoge......" He read silently, he naturally remembered Taoge, but he didn't know what the surname of Taoge he recognized, and naturally he didn't know if the "Xiao Taoge" written on the paper was the Taoge he recognized.

It's just that under suspicion, he instinctively turned around and asked the subordinate behind him, "What is written on this paper?"

The person behind him replied: "This is the list sent by Jianzhang Palace, which was drawn up by the Empress Dowager Chu before her death, and the seven people above are the seven people who were martyred this time."

Wang Xianzhi's face changed lightly when he heard this, he didn't know if this Xiao Taoge was her, but this heart was up and down, he immediately turned around and went out, got to his own carriage, and ordered: "Go to Langya Palace!"

At that time in the palace, Yan Chi happened to come back, jumped into the courtyard of the Si Yuan on the cornice, and when she turned her eyes, she saw many wine jugs rolling down to the ground in twos and threes, she glanced at it casually, and then walked quickly towards the study.

The door to the study was closed, and she went and pushed the door in, and then a smell of wine came to her face.

There were candles burning in the study, but the candlelight was still dim.

Sima Daozi was lying on the soft couch, his right arm was lying on his feet, his left hand was holding a wine jug, his left leg was bent at his knees, and his right leg was lying flat.

He was full of wine, but he still raised his head, held the flask high, and opened his mouth to drink.

Yan Qi walked to the soft couch, bowed slightly, waved his hands, and called: "Lord Wang."

Sima Daozi put down his raised hand, glanced at her lightly, and asked without any distraction, "Where is she?"

Yan Qi said: "I just went to Jianzhang Palace to see it, and Jianzhang Palace has been emptied, there is no one there, and she is not there."

Sima Daozi frowned when he heard this, "Have you been to the Yilan Palace?"

"I've seen it, but I'm not there, the subordinates have searched all the places in the palace that can go, but I can't find her."

Sima Daozi smiled bitterly, "Where will she go, where will the imperial brother hide her......"

As soon as his voice fell, there was a house slave knocking on the door outside, Yan Qi immediately raised her vigilance, and only listened to the report of the house slave: "Lord Wang, the king of the Chinese book is here, saying that he wants to see you, and he has something urgent."

Sima Daozi and Wang Xianzhi have always been at odds, but now when they heard that Wang Xianzhi was coming, Sima Daozi was naturally surprised, and lazily responded: "Let him come over."

As he spoke, he got up and stayed again, opened the door of the study, leaned against the door frame, his expression was still lazy, and he still kept drinking with the wine jug.

Wang Xianzhi walked over and stood outside the door of the study and looked at him, Sima Daozi saw him and said with a smile: "Rare guest!" What a rarity! ”

Wang Xianzhi ignored him with disdain, only glanced at him, and then asked, "Tao Ge's surname is Xiao?"

When Sima Daozi heard him talk about Taoge, he immediately sobered up for three minutes, but he smiled bitterly and replied: "She has entered the palace, if you are looking for her, go to the palace to find her."

Wang Xianzhi's face froze, and he asked, "Is her surname really Xiao?"

Sima Daozi was silent, drinking by himself, Wang Xianzhi simply said bluntly: "She was dragged to the funeral of the Empress Dowager Chongde, at this time, I am afraid that she has lost her breath."

When Sima Daozi heard this, his face changed greatly, and he was completely drunk, and immediately sobered up his head, "What are you talking about!" ”

"She was chosen by the Empress Dowager Chongde to be buried."

Sima Daozi was suddenly startled, and immediately threw down the wine jug in his hand and ran to the stable in the backyard of the palace.

Riding a horse galloped all the way to Chongping Mausoleum.

When he arrived at the Chongping Mausoleum, he saw two inner eunuchs kneeling outside the mausoleum burning paper money from a distance, he dismounted, and the two inner eunuchs turned around, walked towards him, bowed to him and saluted: "Slave and maid knock to see King Langya."

But Sima Daozi was anxious in his heart, as if he hadn't heard of it, and walked directly to the mausoleum past the two of them.

Seeing the situation, the two inner supervisors hurriedly turned around and caught up with him, and the two of them stretched out their arms to block his way, and one of them said, "Lord Wang, you can't go in."

Sima Daozi said expressionlessly: "Get out of the way!"

The two of them didn't move, and Sima Daozi said angrily: "Get out of the way!"

"Lord Wang, don't embarrass the slave," the other inner supervisor was embarrassed, Sima Daozi was impatient at this time, and reached out to press the back of the two of them's heads, the left side to the right and the right side to the left, so that the two of them collided in pairs and fell to the ground immediately.

He walked into the mausoleum quickly, and wanted to enter the main tomb, but when he walked to the outer room, he saw seven coffins, which were distributed in the shape of the Big Dipper.

He glanced at the seven coffins, and then hurriedly looked at them one by one, but saw that the seven coffins had been riveted, and in a hurry, he used all his strength to push the coffin lid, and then opened his mouth urgently: "Susu, Susu, where are you, Susu, where are you?" Susu, do you hear me calling you, Susu, tell me where you are, Susu......"

One or two voices were not answered, and three or four voices were still not answered.

Although he is now anxious and helpless, he will not give up, turned sideways and suddenly saw an iron rod in the corner of the wall, he hurriedly walked to pick up the iron rod, turned around and found one of the coffins, then put one end of the iron rod into the small gap between the coffin body and the coffin lid, and the other end was held in his hand, and he pressed down the iron rod at this end of his hand with all his strength, trying to pry the coffin lid open.

Although it is quite simple to pry the rivets directly, but there are so many rivets on the lid of this coffin, if it is pry one by one, how long will it take, Su Su must have entered the coffin in the afternoon, where can she wait so long.

Pried open the first coffin, he hurriedly pushed open the lid of the coffin, but saw that the person lying inside was not Tao Ge, although he was disappointed, but he was not discouraged, so he went to pry the second coffin, and so three times, but did not find the right one.

He had exhausted all his strength, three times in a row, his strength was almost exhausted, the iron rod smashed on the ground, he was already slumped on the ground, looking down at the blood blisters in the palms of his hands, but he became more and more anxious, raised his eyes and looked at the remaining four coffins one by one, and said weakly: "Susu, where are you, where are you, you tell me, you are still alive, right, you are still alive."

After that, he suddenly remembered that among the seven people who were buried with him, four Gong'e and three internal prisoners had just pried open three, and the first three were lying in Gong'e, if so, in the fourth coffin, the one lying must be Taoge!

At this point, he immediately came to his senses, stood up with the iron rod in his hand, and pried open the fourth coffin with three strokes and two blows.

Pushing open the lid of the coffin, I saw that there was really a peach brother lying there.

A smile immediately appeared on his face, and finally the emperor lived up to his wishes, fortunately, really lucky.

"Susu," he picked her up, but noticed that she was cold, and when she touched it, it was like falling into a cold pool.

He was apprehensive in his heart, he really didn't have the courage to test her breath, so he directly took her out and placed her on the ground, and then pushed her twice at first, calling "Susu", but Tao Ge didn't react at all, his face was still as pale as paper, he simply gave her a breath, and she didn't react a few times.

"Susu, wake up, I'm here to save you, wake up, don't scare me, Susu, don't joke with me anymore Susu," he pushed her, and kept calling her name.

After a while, Tao Ge finally opened his eyes, Sima Daozi was stunned at first, and then he reacted, and a smile immediately climbed up his cheeks, and he said happily: "Su Su, you're awake, you're awake!"

With that, he hurriedly sat up with her in his arms and held her head in his arms, and Tao Ge only heard his heartbeat and laughter.

She said angrily, "I knew that you would definitely come to save me."

He said: "Susu, the ups and downs have passed, I'll take you home." (To be continued.) )
