It's as if everyone knows that the emperor is not the biological son of the queen mother, but no one has raised any objections.

But that's fine, at least it saves a lot of trouble.

After another two quarters of an hour, the team slowly stopped, and Feng Shou's voice sounded outside: "Your Majesty, the queen mother, it's here, and you need to walk up the next road." ”

Barren mountains and mountains are indeed not easy to ride in a carriage. Besides, it was originally to welcome the bones of the dead, and it would be insincere to go up in a sedan chair.

Liang Chu said in a warm voice, 'It's here', and helped Mu Ling get out of the carriage.

The dew in the early morning was still a little cold, Mu Ling couldn't help but shiver, and felt a warmth on her shoulders, Liang Chu had already put on a cloak for her, and protected her to the mountain with one hand.

The ministers waited below, and only the guards who opened the bones and the Qin Heavenly Prison followed.

This is a barren mountain, and it is also a mass grave.

Although the road has been cleared a long time ago, and there is barely a path to go up, it is inevitable to see the desolation around and the white bones that are exposed from time to time.

Honestly, it's scary.

Fortunately, Mu Ling is not the kind of weak little girl, although she feels a little infiltrated at this time, she does not act too intensely, but her slightly trembling body is well protected by Liang Chu, which makes her feel more and more at ease.

After climbing the mountain for about half an hour, I finally came to a wider place.

There are fewer bones here than the corpses below, but the bones that are exposed on the outside also look very infiltrating.

Among them, there is a white bone, and the clothes wrapped around the body are already sparse, but it can still be vaguely seen that it is the material in the palace, and in the middle of the bones, there is a jade plaque-like thing.

"Your Majesty, this is the bones of the Empress Dowager Renxiao." Qin Tianjian bowed his waist and pointed to the pile of bones.

Yesterday, there was an edict issued, Liang Chu posthumously named his biological mother as the Empress Dowager of Renxiao, and today welcomed back the bones and buried them in the imperial mausoleum with the rites of the Empress Dowager.

Liang Chu pursed his lips, stared at it with deep eyes for a long time, patted Mu Ling's back, and then stood aside a little and knelt down in front of the bones.

Under his knee was a mess of rocks that he would have time to clean up, and this kneeling was done with full force, and his knees must have been red without looking.

Mu Ling felt sorry for him, but he also knew that he was in love.

How determined was the mother back then to exchange her life for the future of her child? How much suffering did it take to choose to believe that someone like the Queen Mother would treat her children well?

Fortunately, all her gambles were worth it, and they didn't disappoint her.

Presumably, if her soul is still attached to this corpse today, I am afraid that it will be extremely gratifying to see it, right?

There was a whining wind in the mountains, and I don't know if it was the undead who were returning to the spirit of Liang Chu, or a sigh of relief.

Liang Chu knocked his head three times before he stood up and ordered the bones to be returned.

A guard carried the golden silk nanmu coffin up, carefully moved the bones into the coffin, and then carried it down again.

Mu Ling looked back at Liang Chu's expression and held his hand worriedly: "Everything will be fine, and the next life of the mother concubine will definitely be happy and complete." ”

"Really?" Liang Chu looked into the distance, his eyes were a little dazed, "Does Ah Ling believe in the past and present lives?" ”

Past and present lives?

If anyone had said such things to her in the past, she would have spurned her as a materialist who had been cultivated by the motherland.

But now that she has experienced such a thing as soul crossing, she believes it completely.

"Believe it...... Mu Ling sighed lightly, "It's about me who lost you in my last life, and even if I travel through thousands of mountains and rivers in this life, I still have to stay by your side." ”

She had thought of so many ways, but she had never been able to go back, and she thought that all of this was also destined in the dark.

She Mu Ling is destined to belong here, and everything in her previous life is probably just a dream.

To welcome back the bones of the Empress Dowager Renxiao, the team went directly to the Great Funeral Palace, while Liang Chu and Mu Ling were going to go to the Ancestral Hall, where they handed over the tablet of the Empress Dowager Renxiao and listened to the ancestral teachings.

This is the most torturous thing, the ancestral training is very long, as thick as a book.

Not to mention that the eunuchs who read the ancestral teachings were all smoking, but Mu Ling knelt motionless on the futon, and felt that her legs were not her own.

No wonder Liang Chu always asked her to take care of her body in those days, it turned out to be really grinding.

After kneeling for more than an hour, when the eunuch finally finished reading, Mu Ling was really relieved, and stood up with the help of someone, still a little unstable.

"Be careful."

Liang Chu didn't seem to have anything, held her steadily, and called for a step to the funeral palace.

They need to make a final bow to the coffin of the Empress Dowager Renxiao, and then send the coffin to the imperial mausoleum, which is considered to be the burial completed.

The civil and military officials were already waiting outside the funeral palace, Liang Chu and Mu Ling entered the mourning hall and kowtowed three times in Feng Shou's singing.

"You guys go out first."

After kowtowing, Liang Chu suddenly retreated from everyone, and for a while, only the two of them were left in the huge mourning hall, and a coffin was added.

Mu Ling looked at the coffin in the center of the mourning hall with some concern: "How can you be sure that she is your mother's concubine?" It was a mass grave, in fact, there were not a few palace maids who were killed and thrown over. ”

There is only one white bone left, and just the clothes and jade plaques covered on the white bones are too unreliable.

Moreover, there were not a few wild beasts in the barren mountains, and many corpses were eaten by wild beasts when they were thrown up, and there were not even a single bones of the corpses. As for the clothes and jade plaques and the like, it is not uncommon to scatter them at will.

In ancient times, there was no modern instrument, and it was possible to test a genetic gene or something, so it was to welcome back a corpse and bury it in the imperial mausoleum, no matter how you think about it, it is a little aggrieved for the emperor.

Liang Chu smiled: "Naturally, there are complete preparations, what Mama Su said is there, and the description is not bad at all." And the mother's thigh was stabbed before her death, and the knife wound on this corpse bone is completely consistent with the mother's, and the waist plate on her corpse is her back then. ”

"That's the case...... "Since there are many coincidences, Mu Ling can't suspect anything.

Bowing down to the coffin a few times again was considered to be an apology, thinking in her heart that she was just cautious.

Liang Chu pulled her to the back, looked at the coffin, and solemnly introduced: "Mother, this is your daughter-in-law." Your grandchildren are too young to be brought in today. They are all very cute guys, and they will definitely be dragons and phoenixes when they grow up. Now that my son has brought you back, I only hope that your spirit in heaven can rest in peace, and we are all well. ”
