"Something seems to be there." A few craftsmen next to him heard the movement and came over and looked at the dirt pit. In their line of work, it is normal to dig things in the ground, but they are all in shallow places, such as the property secretly buried by the original owner's family, and even those who dig up corpses.

It's just that it's rare to see something like this pit that is already so deep.

"I'll go down and have a look." A bold craftsman suggested, and the rest of the men agreed, tied hemp rope around his waist, and led the man down from the mouth of the pit.

The craftsman used a small shovel to remove the dirt from the side, revealing a black object. Carefully brushing away the soil, a black stone tablet appeared in front of him, and the scarlet words on it frightened the craftsman sat on the ground with weak legs and feet.

The shocking word "dead ......" made a group of craftsmen retreat and hide, no matter what its meaning was, it was always unlucky.

"This stele is so weird, in such a deep underground, it is obviously not man-made, could it be that it is providence?" I don't know who in the crowd of onlookers suddenly said such a sentence, which resonated with others.

"The designation didn't run, but why is it a "death" word? ”

"I don't understand this, Providence, this word is either a dead man, or a dead man, or ...... "Dead country", these two words appeared in everyone's hearts, but no one dared to say it first.

Just kidding, isn't it a blatant rebellion to talk about the death of the country in public? If anyone dares to say it, the next second will be killed by the royal secret guard, this kind of tiger and wolf words is a royal taboo.

The voices of everyone's speculation continued, and the ministers in the court played repeatedly, making the emperor's face sink like water.

"Your Majesty, this is a bad omen." The imperial historian, who was over forty years old, stepped forward and retold the rumors of the people in the capital to the emperor.

"Ridiculous, Your Majesty, this is a lie. Since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, the people have been rich and the country has been rich, so what is the will of heaven unknown? Your Majesty, this kind of crooked wind cannot last. "A military general argues, or it is said that the literati are useless, and a little thing can be exaggerated, and dare to love Dawei that today's peaceful and prosperous world is pie in the sky?

How do these soldiers who fought on the battlefield and dedicated their lives and even their lives to the country feel?

Xiao Qixing looked at the two groups of people arguing in the hall, and his eyes deepened: "Have you taken out the things?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the minister has ordered someone to take out the stone tablet." Jing Zhaoyin immediately said, he is too difficult, although the matter of the mountain fire is being investigated by Huo Houye, but he can't just leave it alone, wave after wave of unevenness, this stone tablet is really not easy to deal with, and the emperors of previous dynasties are the most taboo about this. He naturally has to rush to the front in everything, otherwise the black yarn will not be guaranteed.

The guards carried the stele into the main hall, and the one-person-high black stele looked at the infiltrating people, and the word "death" in the middle was very dazzling, and the ministers who were still noisy just now were all silent at the moment, secretly observing the emperor's face.

Xiao Qixing originally scoffed at the theory of ghosts and gods, but since the national teacher begged for rain, he was afraid, otherwise he would not have looked around for a woman on the sixth day of the sixth month of June to be Xiao Yichen's crown princess. If it was before, someone told him that a woman could protect the rise and fall of a country, he would not believe it, and he could beat the other party half to death.

But this happened after asking for rain, and the national teacher said it himself, and he had to believe it. Even so, the calm that has been there has been made Xiao Qixing gradually forget about this matter, especially Lian Ying'er who was found by the concubine, after coming into contact with Xiao Yichen, not only did not make Xiao Yichen better, but his body became even more uncomfortable. So later, Concubine Shu punished her, and he didn't intervene.

"Your Majesty, the previous mountain fire burned strangely, and then a stone tablet appeared, the minister remembered that before the national teacher died, there was a prophecy, could it be that we have not moved, so God only had a warning?" If it is so straightforward, only An Lebo, who fights the world with the emperor, can open his mouth and come, and the other courtiers will not dare even if they give them ten dares.

Xiao Qixing pinched his eyebrows, his head began to hurt, and the henchmen and eunuchs on the side were very eye-catching, and when they saw the emperor like this, they immediately announced their retreat from the dynasty. This topic was stopped, and the ministers had to give up, and they would discuss it later, who would dare to force the emperor.

"How's it going?" Xiao Qixing retreated left and right, and a man dressed in black appeared in the main hall, silently, kneeling respectfully in front of Xiao Qixing.

"Back to the emperor, the matter of Baixianglou is a little strange, the traces have been erased, as for the big pit, I have investigated it and found no traces of man-made." The man responded respectfully.

"Keep checking, you can't let go of any clues." Xiao Qixing ordered in a deep voice, and the man quickly disappeared in response.

The anger in Xiao Qixing's eyes gradually spread, and he wanted to see who was tossing behind his back.

Fu Qingyu, who promised Huo Ting to wait for him to come back before leaving, felt panicked as soon as he finished reading the account book in Zhuyuan.

"Mother?" As soon as Jing Yi, who had finished practicing martial arts in the courtyard, entered the house, he saw that Fu Qingyu's face was not good, and hurriedly came over to help.

"I'm not in a hurry about this, and besides, we're all leaving, why bother with this? Just hand it over to Uncle Liu. ”

Fu Qingyu patted the back of Jingyi's hand to indicate that he was fine. Jingyi was not at ease, grabbed her wrist to check her pulse, how to say that it was also taught by Uncle Mu himself, please have a safe pulse.

Looking at Jing Yi's serious side face, Fu Qingyu smiled gently.

Unlike the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, the Prince's Mansion has become a mess, and Xiao Yichen, who has been getting up early, has not moved until the third pole of the sun today. Rong Hui was a little worried and circled around the door of the dormitory.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Rong Hui like this, the commander stepped forward and asked.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't come out yet, I'm hesitating to go in and have a look, His Royal Highness has always disliked others entering his room, but ......" Rong Hui thought about His Royal Highness the Prince's gloomy face for days, could it be that he was stimulated by Jingyi Gongzi? He had heard with his own ears that Jingyi Gongzi was called His Royal Highness the Crown Prince instead of Xiao Yichen, which was incredible in Rong Hui, who had been following the two of them.

Jingyi Gongzi has always done whatever he wants in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, and has always been called by his name.

The commander frowned and looked at the sun in the sky, it would be noon in another hour, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had never been like this.

"Let's go, I'll go with you, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry, if something really happens, even if we have a hundred heads, it's not enough to cut off."

Rong Hui also felt that what the commander said was very right, and knocked on Xiao Yichen's door: "His Royal Highness the Prince? It's almost noon, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince need to eat? ”

Tentatively asked, there was no movement in the room, Rong Hui and the commander looked at each other, the commander gave Rong Hui a look, and Rong Hui stepped aside.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, your subordinates are rude!" Kicking on the door, the commander used his internal strength, and after a few blows, the door was kicked open, and several people rushed in.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Rong Hui exclaimed.
