The rooster crows to announce the dawn, and the white clouds show their faces.

The Queen Mother's "Golden Statue" cemetery, the tomb door has long been opened.

There are no heavy guards here, only a few people to guard, and there are many plain tents around it.

A group of band players dressed in filial piety clothes held musical instruments, and under the leadership of the Ministry of Rites, they stood solemnly beside them.

No other minister came but him.

This is because the emperor did not express his position, did not explain the matter to everyone in the court, and very few people knew about it.

Even those who knew about it did not dare to spread the word, such as himself, he knew about it, but he did not dare to speak out with other ministers.

The reason is very simple, to put it bluntly, something happened to the Queen Mother's "Golden Body Statue", who is the most shameful and faceless person?

Of course, it was the emperor himself, as the Son of Heaven and the king of a country, he actually lost the portrait of his mother under his nose, how much of a disgrace does this have to be?

Don't say that it is the emperor, but ordinary people have such a "tomb robbery", which is also a great shame!

There is a saying that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, which is this reason.

"The emperor has arrived—"

A scream came from the mouth of the chief eunuch Xiao Quanzi.

When the Ministry of Rites Shangshu heard the prestige, he saw the emperor, the empress, Concubine Li, Xiao Quanzi, and the four Ouchi guards coming slowly.

He hurriedly beckoned to the band: "Kneel down quickly, the emperor is here." ”

As he spoke, he knelt first, and the band knelt with him.

When the emperor and his entourage approached, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites shouted loudly: "Respectfully please the emperor!" ”

"Respectfully Greetings to the Emperor!" The band chanted in unison.

The emperor's face was gloomy, he did not speak, and his hand was raised slightly.

Rite Department Shoshu and the band stood up cautiously.

The Emperor turned his gaze around, took a closer look at the plain tent, and his face was slightly calm.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister's arrangement is okay, right?" ”

The emperor nodded: "It's okay." ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Your Majesty, do you want to start playing music?" ”

"No!" The emperor categorically refused, and his face sank, "I didn't tell the princess and other courtiers about this, I didn't want to invite them, I only went to the tomb with the queen and Concubine Li, and came out to ask the queen mother for a crime, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"Isn't it just that the ugliness of the family can't be publicized, there's no need to make a big fuss! The fewer people who know about this, the better! The Ministry of Rites Shangshu purred in his heart, and his mouth responded, "The minister understands, the minister understands!" ”

Concubine Li said: "Don't talk about it, are the incense, candles, paper, money, and fire folds ready?" ”

"Ready, all ready." The Ministry of Rites Shangshu nodded again and again, beckoning to one of the guards behind him, "Quickly bring up the things!" ”

A guard stepped forward and handed a handbasket to the Ministry of Rites, with three yellow incense sticks and two red candles placed diagonally on the side of the basket, and in the center of the basket were three neat stacks of coins, and a fire fold was in the corner of the basket.

Concubine Li smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad." ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu nodded a little flattered: "Xie Niangniang praised, there are offerings and futons in front of the Queen Mother's golden coffin, I don't know what else Niangniang commands?" ”

Concubine Li Niangniang faced the emperor: "Your Majesty, look, is there anything wrong?" ”

What's wrong with that?

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "No, let's go to the tomb!" ”

The emperor was the first to enter the tomb, followed by the queen and the concubine.

Deep in the forest on the side, the black-clothed masked man leaned against the tree, and his eyes sparkled as he watched the emperor, the empress, and Concubine Li enter the tomb one after another.

In the tomb, in front of the golden coffin.

The emperor, the empress, and the concubine Li, the three of them were silent, and their faces were different.

The emperor was really in pain, and tears flashed in his eyes.

He suddenly felt that something had happened to the Queen Mother's "Golden Body Statue", and the person who committed a heinous crime was not Yang Xuanao, nor the leading guard guarding the cemetery, but himself.

The queen's thoughts were like a tide, his face was heavy and sad, but she was not sad about the queen mother's "golden body statue", but was thinking about it, and muttered silently in her heart: "Queen Mother, if you are still alive, how good it would be, you have always loved me the most, if you are still alive, I have fallen out of favor, how good it would be to be able to come to you to complain and be coquettish!" ”

Concubine Li's eyes wandered around, as if she was a little absent-minded.

The initiator of the Queen Mother's "golden body statue" is herself, what is there to sigh about, and what is there to be sad?

The emperor opened his mouth and exclaimed sadly: "Queen Mother, the son-in-law has asked for your guilt!" ”

As he spoke, he bent his knees and fell to his knees on the futon.

"Queen Mother, the son-in-law also pleads on you!" The queen also knelt down.

Concubine Li flattened her mouth, stepped forward with the basket, took out the fire fold to blow it, lit the incense candle and inserted it, and then turned around with the fire fold and the three stacks of dark coins in the basket, and knelt down beside the emperor.

"Come on!" The emperor took the fire fold and two stacks of dead coins in the hands of Concubine Li, and gave them to the queen mother one by one, and lit the dead coins in his hand, and the fire fold was discarded aside.

Concubine Li and the queen followed to burn the coins.

The dark coins in the hands of the three of them burned out in a moment and turned into ashes, and Concubine Li immediately said: "Your Majesty, let's all close our eyes and pray silently for the queen mother, okay?" ”

This is the way it should be, and it must be.

The Emperor readily agreed: "Of course it is good! Let's pray for the Queen Mother! I hope she will forgive me for my mistakes! ”

"The emperor is serious, the queen mother won't blame you!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, after all, it's not your fault, how can the Queen Mother blame you? ”

The queen mother and Concubine Li comforted the emperor with kind words.

"Alas!" The Emperor lowered his head and sighed, shaking his head, "Let's start praying silently for the Queen Mother!" ”

The Emperor closed his eyes, clasped his palms together, and began to pray silently.

Concubine Li and Queen Mother followed suit one after another.

The three of them were like stone sculptures, motionless......

Outside the cemetery, the phantom suddenly moved, flashed like the wind next to the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who was standing next to the tomb door, and blew into the tomb.

This gust of "wind" blew, and the black gauze hat on the head of the Ministry of Rites almost fell off.

He had to rearrange it, put it on, and muttered blankly: "Why did a big 'wind' suddenly rise, strange and scary, Amitabha, the Queen Mother is not strange, Mo is strange......

In the tomb, the phantom dodged to the corner, looked sideways, and saw Concubine Li, the emperor and the queen with their palms together, motionless.

This is the time!

The phantom took out a small black magnet from his arms, and on the small black magnet, there was a golden needle as thin as a cow's hair, and he slowly and carefully separated the golden needle from the small black magnet and held it between his two fingers.

Immediately, his gaze was fixed on the temple of the far left, the first person on the side of his eyes, the queen mother.

He raised two fingers, raised his eyebrows, exhaled softly, and shook the black towel on his face a few times.

Suddenly......

He stretched out his two fingers, and the golden needles between his fingers shot like arrows to the queen's temples.

Accurately, the golden needle was submerged in the temple of the queen mother.

The queen mother suddenly opened her eyes and opened them wide, as if they were about to burst out of their frames.

That's it!

The phantom silently disappeared.

"Boom!"

The queen mother suddenly fell to the ground, motionless, her eyes wide open, her mouth cracked, her tongue sticked out, and her face was extremely hideous and terrifying.

The emperor and Concubine Li opened their eyes when they heard the sound.

When the emperor saw this, he was taken aback and frightened.

What's going on?

Although Concubine Li had been mentally prepared, she was still shocked to see the terrifying appearance of the queen's death at this moment.

It's horrible!

The two were stunned for a while......

Concubine Li came back to her senses and stretched out her hand to pull the emperor's clothes: "Your Majesty, why don't you go out and call someone to come and see what happened to my sister, the concubine is already scared and weak." ”

The emperor woke up like a dream, nodded and said, "Yes, yes." ”

He replied repeatedly, but remained unmoved.

Concubine Li sighed in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the concubine is already scared and weak, you go out quickly and call someone to come and see what is going on with my sister?" ”

"Okay, okay." This time, the emperor answered, got up and turned to run.

As soon as the emperor left, Concubine Li quickly removed a small black magnet placed on her waist, which was exactly the same as in the hand of the previous phantom, and she flipped the queen mother's body and imprinted the small black magnet to her left temple.

One seal, immediately retracted.

Looking at the small black magnet again, there is a small golden needle upside down.

Concubine Li put it away and smiled coldly.

This murder has already become!
