Fast horse galloping, but half a day, Gu Chi arrived at Ningnan Town, here, is the mausoleum group of the imperial family in the past, the layers of peaks and rolling hills will protect the imperial tomb in it, the emperors and queens of the past dynasties are buried here, and the queen's tomb is located in the mausoleum tuyere, people who enter the imperial tomb, will see it at first sight.

Gu Chi untied the wine jug, sat cross-legged in front of the queen's tomb, pondered alone, and said affectionately, "Lin'er, my queen." Suddenly, he laughed unbridledly, kept pouring liquor, almost choked, and after coughing a few times, he mocked: "My sister." ”

After a pot of white wine was put down, Gu Chi's mind became chaotic, his eyes began to blur, and in a daze, he seemed to see Zhang Lanlin appear in front of him, Gu Chi was overjoyed, stepped forward to hug Zhang Lanlin, and whispered in her ear, "Lin'er, you are back after all, don't leave me again." In a flash, the content of the painting flickered in front of him, Gu Chi sobered up, pushed Zhang Lanlin away, and said angrily: "You go away!" Shake your head, and then take a closer look, where is Zhang Lanlin, it's obviously just a fantasy.

Sitting in front of the tomb, Gu Chi looked at the tombstone in a daze, the tomb inscription of "Zhang Shi Lanlin, the Empress of Yuanning in the Great Past" seemed to be a sharp sword, which was fiercely inserted into Gu Chi's chest, making him breathless and sobbing in a low voice.

"Who's there?" A rickety old man came out from behind the green pine and asked the people in front of the cemetery.

Gu Chi raised his eyes and saw that it was a dark and thin old man, with missing eyes, a disheveled head, ragged clothes, and a foul smell on his body, so he warned in disgust, "Get out!" ”

"Old man, I have been guarding the tomb for more than 30 years, and there are many people who come to worship, and you are the most impulsive." The old man sat not far from Gu Chi, counting him.

Gu Chi glanced at it lightly and scolded: "Bold! ”

The old man didn't laugh angrily, pointed to the mausoleum at the front of the imperial mausoleum, and said, "Back then, when your grandfather was still there, he would call me Uncle Qin." ”

"Who are you?" Gu Chi put down the wine jar in his hand, his eyes were like eagles in the night, staring directly at the old man, always vigilant.

"Do you know the Dark Historian? I know all the secrets of the royal family that are not made public. The old man brushed aside the dirty and greasy hair on his forehead, revealing a face that seemed to be smeared with ashes from the bottom of the pot, although he couldn't see his facial features clearly, but the whole person had a kind of desolation that had gone through thousands of sails.

"Then you can live so long, it's enough days." Gu Chi exuded a dangerous aura around him, such a person, the Great Imperial Family could not tolerate it, looked at the old man again, and thought about how to deal with him in his heart.

The old man seemed to have insight into what Gu Chi was thinking, and he didn't have a trace of fear, but just said in a low voice: "The royal family in the past has done too many evils, and the heavens will retribution, you should have tasted it." ”

Gu Chi got up suddenly, his eyes were scarlet, his eyes were wide with anger, the whites of his eyes were almost bloodshot, he leaned forward, and one forced, pinched the old man's neck, and the words that spit out of his mouth were like frost swords, which made people afraid, "Insulting the royal family, its crime should be punished!" ”

The old man didn't struggle, just tilted his head to the side, looked at the vigorous Nanshan in the distance, and laughed in a low voice, "Insults? It's a joke. ”

Gu Chi loosened the hand that was holding the old man, and said in a deep voice: "There is a painting that is related to the reputation of the royal family, do you know the inside story?" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed uncontrollably, and the laughter startled the birds at the end of the mausoleum, fluttering, falling a few dead leaves, with desolation, and the slightest bit of bone, "The content of the painting is only the tip of the iceberg." ”

"What's hidden under the iceberg?"

"Perhaps, you will find the answer from the weddings of the emperors and queens of the past dynasties."

"Trick up!" Gu Chi stood up with murderous intent, and quietly took out a short and exquisite dagger with his left hand behind his back.

"Don't be angry, put away your dagger, I'm still useful to you." The old man snapped his fingers and shook Gu Chi's hand away, gently rubbing his neck.

Gu Chi subconsciously looked at his right hand, trembling slightly, leaving a small red mark on the back of his hand, and a burst of pain hit him, making him frown, "You actually know martial arts!" ”

"It's just scratching the surface." The old man straightened his ragged clothes, and said: "You need to find your sister who is living among the people, give her a title, and on the day of the sacrifice, take her, and you two will open your palms, drop the blood into the wine cup of the sacrifice, and then spill the blood-stained wine to the northwest, so that most of the catastrophe in the past will be solved." ”

"Sister?" Gu Chi was confused.

"In the early winter of the thirty-third year of Yingye, it snowed heavily, and the princess cried endlessly, fainted, and lost it." There was regret in the old man's eyes, "This is the only record about the princess back then, whether you can find her depends on your ability." ”

"Why are you telling me this?" Gu Chi's eyes were full of vigilance, and his murderous intent was undiminished.

"I owe a favor, and I can pay it back today." As soon as the old man's words fell, he turned around, tapped his toes, and disappeared at the end of the mausoleum with the help of the wind, and Gu Chi didn't react to all of this at all.

When Gu Chi came back to his senses to look for it, he didn't even find the shadow of the old man, he only found a double-flower step shake in the grass, this step shake he recognized, it was Concubine Cheng's, but he didn't want to track it anymore, he didn't want to get involved in any of the old things.

With a thin drunkness, with shock, and with confusion, Gu Chi returned to the imperial study and opened the history books of the past dynasties, all of which were praises of merit and virtue, and he did not even mention the real historical facts, let alone find a record of the abandoned princess. Why was she discarded? Why was she able to influence the situation in the past? A series of questions pressed into his mind, making Gu Chi dizzy for a while.

Putting aside the doubts in his mind for the time being, Gu Chi went to see Xian Ge, although she was fed the antidote, but she hadn't woken up yet, and even he didn't think that Xian Ge would be so resolute, one step earlier to use black tea to stimulate the toxin, so that the 'one meeting' could swim all over the body, and there was no way to remove the residual poison, so she could only recuperate every day, and continue her life one day at a time.

"String Song, it would be great if you could forget everything and live again." Gu Chi stroked Xiange's pale face, the coldness from his fingertips made Gu Chi tremble, if it weren't for the warm air flow from the wing of his nose, no one in front of him would think that she was still alive.

After covering the brocade quilt with the string song, and ordering someone to smoke the medicinal incense that can alleviate the 'one meeting', Gu Chi left for a long time.

Caiwen hid behind the door, and only quietly arrived at the couch after seeing Gu Chi leave, looking at Xiange's pale and lifeless face, his eyes turned red, he gently held her hand, and called in a low voice: "Master." ”

As the tears fell, an apology rose from the bottom of her heart, although she overheard Chunhong mention Liu Tan, only to know that the master was involved in the plot, and she hated it at the time, even if she noticed her intentions, she didn't stop it in time, and she wanted to take revenge in her heart, until now, the remorse and apology in her heart hit her head, so that she slapped herself a few times, which was atonement.

"Master, in the future, I will live and die with you."

Thoughts arise in an instant, disappear in an instant, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the light and shadow in the gap of time.
