Chapter 234: The Empress Dowager Enters the Mausoleum
Before dawn, the rain stopped.
Mo Yan stood outside the door, the valley in the early morning was quiet and peaceful, compared to the violent wind and rain last night, although the shady slope they were on still could not see the sun, and even the mist gathered, it was enough to make people calm.
"Let's go." Mu Yunyi got up and got out of bed and said to Mo Yan at the door.
"How does it feel on your legs?" Mo Yan turned his head.
"It's much better, Mr. Wuyong's medicine is really extraordinary." Mu Yunyi deliberately did not mention that Mo Yan used snake gall to heal himself.
Mo Yan saw her thoughts, so he let her and only smiled playfully.
"But I'm going to get dressed and change when I get down the mountain." Mu Yunyi stretched out her arms and looked at the clothes on her body that were still wet and clinging to her skin.
"Okay, there are farmers down the hill." Mo Yan said as he went into the house and put his coat on her from the wall, put it on first, it was still very cold outside.
Mu Yunyi did not resist, and accepted his kindness safely.
The two of them went down the mountain to change into a set of clean clothes, bought horses, and then went out of Huanshan and marched together to Zhongli Mountain in the east.
As soon as Fang entered Zhongli Mountain, he saw from a distance that the road leading to the branch where the imperial tomb was located was guarded by guards.
"It looks like they've entered the Imperial Tomb." Mo Yan looked into the distance.
"Well, let's stop here, Yuanying Blood Lotus will have you to take it to the Xia Villa." Mu Yunyi said goodbye to Mo Yan here, she was about to enter the mountain, and Mo Yan would definitely not be able to go to the depths of Zhongli Mountain if she wanted to go to the Xia Villa.
Looking at Mu Yunyi's back as she got up and wanted to leave, Mo Yan finally spoke: "You can really do it?" ”
"Your concern for your allies seems to go beyond normal boundaries." Mu Yunyi turned his head and looked at him meaningfully.
"That's natural, I'm the first to form an alliance with someone else, if you haven't started to cooperate, you will die, doesn't it mean that I don't have a good vision?"
"If I really didn't come out of Zhongli Mountain." Mu Yunyi turned his back, "Then you should look away and choose the wrong ally." Then he walked deep into the mountains.
"You're going to be fine." Mo Yan took one last look at Mu Yunyi's back, and turned to leave.
According to the ancestral system of royal funerals, the first family members of the clan entered the mountain together, and the queen mother paid homage to the queen mother in the palace for three days, and then invited her body into the underground palace. Compared with the first emperor Tianying, it was all handled by the Empress Dowager Xi and Mu Huan, and the handling of the affairs of the Empress Dowager who had experienced four dynasties was even better. Officials all said that the filial piety of the emperor and the queen mother moved the world, but Mu Yunyi felt ridiculous, there were two imperial funerals in just a few months, and the culprits were the mother and son, I wonder if they will have a trace of weakness when facing the spiritual position of the first emperor and the queen mother?
At night, Mu Yunyi mixed into the emperor's mausoleum, lurking behind the palace of enjoyment, when the palace dependents rested and left at night, the palace was the most lax, Mu Yunyi hid by the back door, looking at the carved phoenix coffin covered with imperial cloth, and the body of the imperial grandmother was lying inside.
On that day, in order to protect herself, the scene of the imperial grandmother inserting the long sword into her heart was deeply imprinted in Mu Yunyi's heart, and day after day, it became clearer and clearer.
Slowly, tears blurred her eyes, Mu Yunyi didn't hold back after all, and turned over under the incense case behind the coffin, fortunately, no one found it, Mu Yunyi touched the coffin with her fingertips through the imperial cloth hanging down the incense case, as if she had touched the imperial grandmother's palm that was still soft and tender although it was covered with lines.
At this time, there were footsteps approaching the Xiangdian, and he was wondering who would come to worship so late, and he heard the guards outside the door asking for peace: "Prince Shun is well." ”
The visitor didn't say anything, but walked straight into the spirit card and slowly knelt down.
Through the gap in the imperial cloth, Mu Yunyi saw that it was really her aunt, she hadn't seen her for many days, her face was very haggard, and she no longer had the same brilliance as before.
After a while, Mu Yunyi heard her aunt's sobbing, her aunt and the imperial grandmother were already in love with mother and daughter, after her father disappeared and she went to Dongzhao, the two were even more "dependent on each other", and now the imperial grandmother died suddenly, and the other people's respectful spirits during the day were just pretentious, only the aunt was a real heartache.
"Queen Mother, it's the daughter-in-law who is incompetent, the prince is missing, I can't protect the prince's mansion, I can't protect Yi'er and Duo'er, and now I see you being murdered, but you still have to bow down to the mother and son......" Speaking of this, she had buried her head deep in the ground and couldn't cry.
Mu Yunyi saw that her aunt was only a stone's throw away from her, and almost wanted to rush out and hug her aunt, give her some comfort, and let her not blame herself. But she can't show up, she can't let her aunt know her existence, otherwise if she is discovered by others, not only will she be in danger, but she will also put her aunt in danger.
If she doesn't show up, her aunt will always be safe, after all, in the future, the only bargaining chip that can contain Mu Yunyi will be her aunt.
Mu Yunyi quietly "accompanied" her aunt under the incense case with bated breath, and it was not until the second half of the night that her aunt left, and Mu Yunyi also took the opportunity to slip out of the back window.
In this way, Mu Yunyi went in and out of the ground day and night to guard the palace for three days, even if he was unwilling, it was still the time when the body of the empress dowager was about to be invited into the underground palace.
Whether it was from the heart or not, for a while, everyone in the imperial tomb cried even more, knelt down deeply, and sent the coffin of the empress dowager into the underground palace.
Mu Yunyi hid in the corner and watched coldly, she obviously felt a trace of extraordinary danger in addition to her grief. After all, after waiting for three days, she was not forced to show up, and in this last case, isn't Empress Dowager Xi going to rivet her strength?
It's just that Mu Yunyi is not so stupid anymore, and now she is in the net, isn't she living up to the imperial grandmother's intention to die to save herself? I was able to accompany the imperial grandmother for the last three days, and my wish was enough. Even if Empress Dowager Xi repeats her old tricks again, claiming that her aunt is trapped in the underground palace, she will not follow her mind again.
"The time has come, seal the palace!" The funeral officer sang loudly, and everyone bowed deeply at the end, and Mu Yunyi was also preparing to leave the imperial tomb at this time.
At the moment when Mu Yunyi turned around, he saw a guard, who should have been lazy, so he hid behind, but he didn't expect to bump into Mu Yunyi at this time.
The guard obviously recognized Mu Yunyi, pointed at her in horror, and immediately shouted "There is ......"
Mu Yunyi would not give him this opportunity to shout out the latter words, so he rushed directly to him and covered his mouth, twisted his neck with the other hand, and then he was silent.
However, the guard's shout was still very abrupt in the quiet palace sealing ceremony, and finally exposed the traces of outsiders breaking in. Everyone rushed over, and saw the body of the guard lying on the ground, and the emperor immediately ordered the imperial tomb to be blocked, although Mu Yunyi had already left the place where Fang had just killed at this time and hid behind a pile of waste stones, but it was even more difficult to get out of the mountain now.
"Mu Yunyi, you really appeared."
