688. 687 Life and death go hand in hand
"Why?"
She immediately let go of him and raised her voice, the hint of displeasure hanging on her lips without concealment.
"You're the queen!"
He had only spoken four words, and then he got out of the carriage first, turned around and extended his hand to her.
She looked at the hand that was in mid-air, and her mouth was so high that she got out of the carriage, pushed his hand away, and came down on her own.
Obviously she could feel the two cold lines of sight behind her, but she ignored it, lifted the cumbersome skirt of the back dress and strode towards Wang Ling.
The royal tomb was built for Tuoba Chong after Tuoba Jiuxiao ascended the throne, and the bones of two people were buried in it, Tuoba Chong and Mu Ruyan, in order to commemorate their parents and comfort their souls in the sky.
As for Yun Aotian, after his death, Nangong Qingfeng inherited the throne, Nangong Qingfeng in order not to let the world see that he was seeking to usurp the throne, so he set up a cemetery for Yun Aotian and the Yun family, but this cemetery was also razed to the ground after Tuoba Jiuxiao ascended the throne, Tuoba Jiuxiao said, Daegu from the founding of the country to the fall, except for Tuoba King, there is no second king.
When he forced Gong Nangong Qingfeng at the beginning, he died miserably, and Tuoba Jiuxiao ordered someone to dispose of his body at will, and he never asked again.
Lin Ling'er stood in front of the royal tomb and was in awe, because Xiao's parents were buried inside, although they had come here to worship their ancestors when she was canonized, but now they can still touch her extraordinarily.
As far as the eye can see, there are no people in a radius of thousands of miles here, by the mountains and rivers, sitting in the north and facing south, the wind is facing the sun, it is really an excellent resting place.
The high mountains in the distance are covered with green pines and cypresses, and the cold wind blows, making a rustling sound.
The tall and magnificent gate of the royal tomb is open, and the two stone lions at the door are solemn and mighty, showing the domineering spirit of the owner in the tomb.
The sturdy soldiers guarded diligently with spears in hand, not daring to slack off.
Such a solemn scene made her suddenly forget the unpleasantness just now, she couldn't help but glance back at Tuoba Jiuxiao, in front of her parents-in-law, she still shouldn't be too willful, otherwise how could they rest assured that their son would be handed over to her.
Seeing that he was still standing in place, as if expecting her to turn back to him, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he ordered everyone else to stay except Qian Ye, and then walked towards her.
"The lord and queen have arrived!"
Qian Ye led the way, stopped five meters from the gate, and announced loudly.
The soldiers guarding the tomb immediately bowed down and saluted, not daring to raise their heads, until Tuoba Jiuxiao said a flat voice and led her into the gate, and the soldiers got up and stood as they had just done.
Walking across the seven-hole arch bridge and passing through the tall stone archway carved with unicorns, lions, cloud dragons, kissing beasts, etc., they embarked on the divine road to the filial piety tomb.
On both sides of the road stand eighteen pairs of stone statues carved from a single stone, among which there are civil ministers, military generals, horses, unicorns, elephants, camels, lions, etc., like a group of heroic guards guarding the royal tomb.
The whole divine road is 800 meters long, looking at the past from this end, the yellow glazed tiles at the top of the filial piety tomb in the distance reflect the brilliance of the sun, which is very dazzling.
I remember the first time she came here, she once asked why her parents' mausoleum was named Xiaoling, and he was silent for a few seconds, and told her with a solemn expression that he had never done filial piety for his parents.
Yes, a son who has never met his biological father and has only one side to his mother, how painful his heart should be!
Later, he imprisoned Nangong here, and she was also very curious about the reason, in such a sacred place, why would he leave a long-cherished vendetta?
He told her that because Nangong absolutely needed to atone for his sins, for his father, for his mother, and for Qiqi, he needed to pay for such a serious sin as a lifetime.
Walking slowly on this divine path, she always had a pious heart, glanced at him beside her, his expression was equally sacred and inviolable, she pursed her lips and withdrew her gaze.
"What do you want to ask?"
His voice rang out, as if her every move couldn't escape his eyes, even if he wasn't looking at her.
She thought for a moment and whispered:
"Actually, I want to ask, this area is so large, but there is only a filial piety tomb, and the land on the east and west sides is empty, don't you think it's very luxurious and wasteful?"
Think about modern times, every inch of land is expensive, a cemetery with an excellent location can easily cost tens of thousands of yuan per square meter, it is not the best, people have to spend money to live, and people have to spend money when they die, it is really unbalanced.
At that time, she thought that if she was dying, she must tell her children and grandchildren that she would take the ashes to a beautiful mountain and scatter them, and there would be no need to erect any tombstones, let alone spend a penny more for her death.
What can a person feel when he dies? After death, everything is to cause trouble to the living, and there is no need for this.
It's just that she never thought that she would come here, meet him, become his wife, have a child with him, and if someone told her now that she had the opportunity to return to modern times, she would definitely flatly refuse, so it is certain that she would definitely die here.
Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, she chased after him and said:
"I know that the whole world is yours, but even so, you can't be so willful, and when the child grows up in the future, if you see a bad example like you, don't ......"
"In the future,"
He interrupted her suddenly, paused, and turned his face to look at her,
"We're all going to be buried here."
"I—we?"
She was a little stunned.
"This will be the mausoleum of the kings of Tiansheng."
His gaze was indifferent, and he continued,
"Don't worry, I will order to go down, don't build a mausoleum for us after death, we will be buried together, life and death together."
His words made her nose sour and tears welled up in her eyes.
Qian Ye saw her crying, and hurriedly comforted:
"Queen, forgive the slave for talking too much, in the heart of the lord of the country, except for you, you can never tolerate a second woman, even if you are ...... two years later None of this will change. It stands to reason that in this cemetery, the tombs of the lord and the queen or concubines are to be built separately, but listening to what the lord said just now, it really makes the slaves cry. ”
Because of the two-year appointment, Qian Ye has been blaming himself, and later Tuoba Jiuxiao wanted to punish him, but was stopped by Lin Ling'er, she said, if it wasn't for Qian Ye, how would she know that he had done so much for her, and it was too late for her to thank him.
Qian Ye went on to say:
"Not to mention what will happen in these two years, the slave dares to say that when the day comes, the woman who can be brought into the royal tomb by the lord of the country must be the only one who is the queen."
Lin Ling'er looked at him steadily, and the four words echoed in her ears, "life and death together", she plunged into his arms and hugged him firmly:
"I'm afraid of death, you know my life credo, safety first, life is important. However, with you with me, I am not afraid, as long as you accompany me. ”
This is the first time she thinks that maybe death will also be a very romantic thing, and if she is buried here with him, they will never be separated because of any worldly event, and they will be accompanied by life and death.
He hugged her body and patted her back gently, and compared to her touch, he just smiled indifferently:
"Alright, let's go."
Life and death are no longer important to him, he has been fighting on the battlefield since he was a teenager, escaped from several serious injuries, and has been living a life of licking blood at the tip of a knife, the seemingly unattainable Hades, who knows the price behind this identity?
What joy is the husband in life, and what is the fear of death?
It's just that after meeting her, he finds that he has changed and become life-saving.
He was afraid that he would not have the life to reunite with her, and he would not have the life to accompany her to old age.
He must not die in front of her, for he does not want her to suffer this great sorrow, and he will protect her until the day she leaves.
He gently pushed her away, took the handkerchief from her hand, helped her wipe away the tears from her face, and hugged her on.
Closer and closer to the filial piety mausoleum, the red palace wall becomes clearer and clearer, enter the filial piety mausoleum, the layout here is not complicated, according to the pattern of the front and the back of the bed, there are several palaces from the south, there are things burning furnaces in the inside, for burning paper money, etc., and then to the north is the Fangcheng Ming Building, the stone tablet is erected inside, the name of the tomb owner is engraved Shengping, and the northernmost point is the treasure top.
The top of the treasure is a hemisphere with a diameter of about ten meters, like a cauldron upside down on the ground, the surface is surrounded by blue bricks, it looks tamped and firm, and below the top of the treasure is the underground palace where the corpse is parked, in the whole cemetery, here is the most important thing.
It was also here that Lin Ling'er met Nangong Jue.
He was in a wheelchair, with his back to them, his body was emaciated, his original sturdy physique was no longer there, and it would not be too much to describe him as skinny.
The back alone was already like this, and she couldn't imagine how desolate his face would be at this time.
Once such a high-spirited and superior person, now he has ended up like this, I really can't imagine how painful and unwilling his heart should be.
Seeing that she was just standing ten meters away from the top of the treasure and stopped moving forward, Tuoba Jiuxiao also paused, and just followed her gaze, and when it landed on Nangong Jue, his vision became complicated.
On both sides of Nangong Jue's body, there were two guards standing, even if he was already a useless waste, but a prisoner was a prisoner, and this was the "treatment" he should enjoy in this life.
Qian Ye wanted to say hello, but was stopped by Lin Ling'er, because she found the person who had just come out of the back of the treasure top, it was Yan Linglong and their son.
Yan Linglong also had two guards behind her, following not far away, as if she was afraid that she would escape by trickery.
It seems that only then did she really look at this woman, her figure is very slender, her white face is a little sunken and pale, it should be caused by long-term poor nutrition, her facial features are very exquisite, especially those big eyes, which are really very similar to her.
If she hadn't married Nangong Jue, if she had chosen to leave when the Nangong clan had fallen, she would not have ended up cleaning the royal tomb all day long like she did today.
Looking at her appearance, she should not be older than her, but the tribulations of life make her look much more vicissitudes than her, after all, she is a princess, and such a Yan Linglong makes her feel distressed.
