Chapter 437: Corpse Incense (Part II)
"Fierce." Lin Zhiyan pouted aggrievedly and turned her head, and began to pretend to be tender again.
The second uncle and I completely ignored her. He had apparently studied the wet corpse and was so interested that he decided to abandon the development of the Qianling Tomb. It's just that what is so special about this corpse that can allow this old madman to come here alone and pretend to be a history teacher and spy on it?
"Second uncle, have you researched the origin of this female corpse?" I decided to play on the sidelines.
"In recent years, some funeral goods have been recovered. However, we can only make a rough judgment. The second uncle's expression was a little gloomy, "The clothes worn by the woman first made me have huge doubts about her identity, because these clothes are not only beautifully made and made of exquisite materials, but more importantly, some of them are woven with dragon and phoenix patterns that can only be used by the royal family in feudal society, while others are sewn with unicorn complements that can only be worn by first-class military attachΓ©s. β
I was stunned. In the Qing Dynasty, in a feudal society where women were not allowed to be officials, this female corpse could be buried in a costume with a unicorn complement, and the patterns of the clothing fabric also had a large number of dragons and phoenixes symbolizing imperial power. These signs are enough to show that the woman's status is prominent and her identity is extraordinary!
"It's strange, it's such a woman, but the local historical materials have no record of her, which is really incomprehensible!" I'm a little confused.
"Not bad. This is the biggest headache. The burial goods recovered were several pieces of pure gold jewelry. It consists of two golden hairpins, a hat flower, and an earring. The second uncle said energetically, took out the few things from his pocket and handed them to me.
I looked through the vacuum bag and took a closer look. Their workmanship is more exquisite, especially the hat flower and earrings, it is a lianzi, fine gold, under normal circumstances, only the palace lady can have such workmanship, the general folk lady can not do. And there is a jewelry that actually has the process of making silk.
"I remember that the craft of silk making should have almost never been found in the people." I said in a deep voice.
"Definitely. These pieces of gold jewelry are not only exquisitely made, but also shiny as new, and should not have been used by the deceased during his lifetime, but were specially made for burial. I am afraid that this female corpse not only had a prominent status during her lifetime, but was also buried very ceremoniously after death, and from death to burial, the time is more calm. The second uncle nodded, paused and said, "This woman, it can be judged, should be a royal person." You take a closer look at the back of the ornament. β
I flipped the ornament over and looked at it intently. Sure enough, behind the golden hairpin and the hat flower, the same mark 'Yuanji' was found, and there were different hexagrams engraved under the two golden hairpins and the word Yuanji.
"Strange, what does the word "Yuanji" and these two different hexagrams mean? I watched intently.
The second uncle was afraid that I would collect his treasure together, so he hurriedly snatched it back, explaining, "Whether it is the word Yuanji, or the separation hexagram and the Kan hexagram, it represents the blessing of the deceased in the future, which shows that the person who buried her has a deep affection and love for this woman!" Then it is not difficult to understand why the female corpse can be kept so well, because the people who buried her hope that she can live forever and remain beautiful! But if that's the case, something else that happened to the woman's body is even more bizarre. β
"Oh, there's something more distant about this female corpse?" I'm very emotional.
"Yes, the female corpse has wounds. A huge T-shaped wound! β
"Wounds!" On the side, Lin Zhiyan, who didn't care about our snub at all, covered her mouth and screamed as a little girl in horror. Depressed, nauseous.
"Big wound. A T-shaped wound with neat edges, transversely severing the carotid artery, longitudinally cutting the thyroid cartilage, and reaching deep into the trachea, is obviously the work of a sharp blade. "We continue to ignore him. The second uncle took out a few photos and handed them to me, and said slowly: "If the person who buried her really loves her, then where did this fatal wound come from?" Was it the woman's death or did people do it after she died? Is it due to the excavation, or is it caused by improper protection after excavation? So far, no one knows, only guess! β
"Yes, the wound on the female corpse's neck is indeed a bit strange. If this wound was really caused by her life, it was obviously the cause of the woman's death, and judging from the shape of the wound, it should be certain that he killed rather than killed himself. If you really want to kill yourself, just a horizontal knife is enough to kill. "The photo is of the female corpse, which is really miserable, dry, and I don't see that it was once beautiful. No wonder beauties are afraid that their faces will not be there when they get old, and some beauties would rather die than look at themselves in the mirror gradually becoming ugly and their hair falling out" However, if he killed, who killed a weak woman so cruelly, and even if he wanted to kill her, he didn't need to go under the knife like this. This T-shaped knife edge seems to be like a mark deliberately left by a master of the rivers and lakes! β
"The idea has a heart!" The second uncle took out a small notebook and hurriedly memorized it, and then said, "It's not the slightest bit weird." Although everything is just speculation, we cannot make any conclusions until there is new evidence. Although the cause of her death is unknown and her identity is unknown, those who have come into contact with the female corpse still have their own speculation. β
"Oh, let's hear it."
"This corpse has a clear relationship with the royal family, which can be seen from the funerary burial utensils, from all aspects of her corrosion. Many believe that she may well be the legendary Xiangfei. β
"What? Xiangfei! β
Lin Zhiyan and I were stunned for a moment.
Concubine Xiang is a well-known figure for modern people.
Legend has it that she was a Uyghur concubine of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, and was called Concubine Xiang because she had incense since she was a child. However, the story of Concubine Xiang has only been circulated among the people, and there is no accurate historical record, and even whether there is such a person in history is a historical question.
"Why do those people suspect that the female corpse is Concubine Xiang?" My good teeth itched, and I wanted to run to the museum thousands of miles away to see the dried corpse.
"Since it is a fragrant concubine, of course there will be a strong natural body fragrance, it is said that when it was dug up, when the coffin was just opened, the fragrance was tangy, and it could be smelled from a few meters away. Some insiders said that the fragrance was a nasal fragrance, and this fragrance could not be described by other fragrances. It smells good, but it's hard to describe. The second uncle looked regretful,
