On this day, for some reason, Ling Ran slept extremely deeply, and had a long, long dream before waking up.

At this time, it was already the third pole of the sun.

She glanced at the glare of sunlight outside the window, and suddenly felt a little thirsty, so she went to get the cup, but the moment her fingertips touched the wall of the cup, a tingling pain suddenly came from the tip of her index finger.

She immediately retracted her hand, but was surprised to find that something had pierced the tip of her index finger, and a little scarlet was slowly oozing out.

Picking up the cup again and looking at it carefully, Ling Ran didn't see anything sharp on the wall of the cup, so he changed his hand and quietly touched the outer wall, but he only felt that it was smooth and smooth......

——————

Twilight quadrangle.

The sky was full of stars, but suddenly a large heavy gray cloud floated in, slowly fading the light of the stars, but the full moon became more and more beautiful.

On the cemetery, the man was dressed in green clothes, standing in front of the tomb of the queen of the Great Thousand Kingdoms, his clothes fluttering, and the moonlight outlined his resolute face, but he only looked at the six or seven people in front of him fixedly, and took a shovel to cut the soil little by little.

The earth dug deeper and deeper, and in the blink of an eye, small hills were piled up around them.

"I didn't expect that the emperor was also a benevolent and righteous person, and he was buried so decently for the queen of the previous dynasty." The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he sighed.

"Well, my lord, it looks like I've dug up something hard." Ye Xun shoveled out another handful of soil, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said.

"yes, that should be soon, go on."

After a while, the top of a coffin had gradually emerged, and everyone stopped their shovels and looked at Chu Yijun.

"Open the coffin." Chu Yijun ordered, he looked up at the sky slightly, and seemed to feel a small raindrop falling on the tip of his nose.

"One-two-three!" The guards counted together, and then removed the heavy lid of the coffin.

A special smell immediately came out, and Ruohe on the side hurriedly covered his mouth and nose.

And as the lid of the coffin was removed little by little, a complete skeleton appeared in front of them, and the two timid guards immediately turned their heads, not daring to look at it again.

"Ruohe, it's your turn." Chu Yijun looked at Ruohe on the side.

"Yes, Lord." Ruohe removed his hand, took a deep breath, held his breath, and walked towards the skeleton.

When she got closer, she crouched down, took out the blood sample she had prepared from her arms, dropped a drop onto a broken bone in the bones, stood up, and stepped back.

At this moment, the raindrops were getting heavier and heavier, but it did not affect the eyesight of everyone present at all.

Chu Yijun looked at the drop of blood, and wandered around the bone twice, and a trace of hope suddenly ignited in his eyes.

But this glimmer of hope slowly seeped into it with that drop of blood, and gradually faded away.

In its place, there was shock......

Everyone looked straight at it, but they didn't expect this to be the case.

In an instant, the rain finally poured down.

Chu Yijun watched as the drop of blood finally completely dissolved into his bones, and the shock in his eyes was gradually replaced by a touch of other emotions.

Even if she is a remnant of the previous dynasty, the queen's position has long been a foregone conclusion in his heart.

The cool rain slid down his face, into his clothes, and on his chest, but his heart was already relieved and calm......

"Did everyone present see it clearly?" Chu Yijun swept around the crowd and said majestically.

"Back to the Lord/Emperor, I see it clearly." Everyone spoke in unison.

"Okay."

Chu Yijun's face was still quiet, but five darts suddenly slipped out of his sleeves, and before those guards could let out an exclamation, they fell to the ground in an instant, out of breath.

In the blink of an eye, only him, Ye Xun, and Ruohe were left on the field.

The three of them looked at each other, smiled tacitly, and together they put the lid back into place and covered the earth again.

Back in the imperial study, Chu Yijun looked at the piles of folds in front of the table, couldn't help frowning, then pulled out a chair and sat down, ready to finish resting in one go.

But who knows, before his chair was hot, a guard suddenly burst into the door in a hurry:

"Your Majesty, just before the palace maid saw a female corpse floating on the Taiye Pool, and after salvage, someone recognized it as Niangniang's personal maid......"

As soon as the ink on the tip of Chu Yijun's pen flicked, a small flower bloomed on the fold, and he immediately stood up:

"Take me over and have a look."

The shore of the Taiye Pond.

A bunch of people gathered around a woman, the woman's long hair was like ink, only tied at random, and the broken hair that occasionally fluttered in the wind set off her back with a variety of charms.

"Xian'er......" Ling Ran squatted on the ground, slowly stroked the wet hair on Xian'er's forehead, and looked at the warm-hearted face, she hid her face and cried for the first time in hundreds of days.

A clear lake breeze blew, but the biting cold swept the tears from her face, drilled into her collar, and froze straight into her heart.

That's her personal maid...... When she crossed over to this place, the first person she saw was also the first person who treated her sincerely.

But now, in this deep palace, there is no one who will nervously run forward to ask for warmth after she has been missing for a few days; There was no one else who could laugh heartlessly with her; No one else can be so nervous about her life and death......

Just because, she is a slender child.

But now, she's gone......

The past bloomed in her memories, and the scenes of the past flashed back alternately in front of her eyes, Ling Ran looked at her face with her eyes closed, and the tears were completely uncontrollable, allowing it to fall like beads with broken threads and smash on Xian'er's cold body......

"Miss! Where have you been? But Xian'er is in a hurry! ”

"Miss, you are so handsome...... Haha, Xian'er will also work hard to learn how to be a good man. ”

"Wash up and eat, we'll have to ...... later. Kneeling on the washboard. ”

"Want mung bean cake? …… Haha, mung bean cake will miss Miss when you hear it. ”

"I didn't expect that Miss would have a tired day."

"Ahh …… Miss, your hands! How so? ”

"Please Miss believe in Xian'er, Nian'er's life was saved by Miss...... After all these years, I have definitely not done anything to be sorry for Miss! ……”

All the things that happened to Xian'er in the past kept flashing back in her memories. The ups and downs, joys and sorrows of the past, are still as clear in her mind as yesterday.

…… But from this moment on, there was no more. She left so easily.

Ling Ran's eyes swelled up with a sour feeling again, but this sourness instantly turned into another emotion as her eyes fell on the red mark on Xian'er's neck.

Ling Ran wiped the tears from his face violently, stood up, and startled everyone:

"Who among you saw her body first?"
