Shen Lingxi followed Chu Yan's side and returned to the Dizang Palace again.

At the entrance of the dungeon in the backyard, the floor tile engraved with Fang Xiang's clan was opened intact at some point, revealing the hole of Hessesen.

Chu Yan's eyes were cold, and his body was filled with an aura that no one should approach.

"When was this dungeon discovered?" He asked in a deep voice.

Yu Linwei: "Just half an hour ago, not long after carrying the body of the county lord of Bingqing to Yuxiu Palace, there was a noise in the backyard, and the subordinates heard the noise and came to check, and they found this hole. ”

"The subordinates went down to investigate, and there was a dry pool below, and some women's objects were buried, and they looked at the style...... It's like something from the past. ”

Shen Lingxi approached Chu Yan, covered his lips, and asked in a low voice in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "This is just when we came out, we forgot to close the entrance to the underground palace?" ”

"I'm off." Chu Yan meant something authentic.

When Shen Lingxi heard this, his eyes turned pale.

Last night, she opened the entrance to the underground palace under the guidance of the ghosts of the former and future concubines.

Since Chu Yan closed the entrance to the underground palace, who opened it?

The underground palace, which has not been discovered for decades, suddenly appeared in front of people.

also specially avoided the embroidered messenger, and chose to choose when Mu Xue'e's body was carried away, only Yu Linwei was there.

It's too "coincidence"!

Shen Lingxi thought about it again, Mu Xue'e said that someone in black specially removed her body from the waste palace, and she only felt that her scalp was numb.

She quickly told Chu Yan the information she knew.

At the end, she asked softly: "Only if Mu Xue'e's body is in the Dizang Palace, can Yu Linwei be attracted here." Those people deliberately moved her body here, would it ...... Is it to uncover this underground palace in front of the eyes of the world? ”

"Mostly." Chu Yanfeng's eyes were slightly cold, "It's just that I don't know if the person behind this is kind enough to tell me that the name of the concubine is engraved in this underground palace, or if there are other intentions." ”

Other attempts......

Shen Lingxi thought of Chu Yan's identity as a prince, and his eyes unconsciously carried a little melancholy.

The emperor has to come to the palace every year, and Chu Yan has to come three or four times a year.

This time, Mu Xue'e died, and the underground palace that had been hidden for decades still appeared in front of the world.

It's hard to believe that there is no connection between the two.

"What is Your Highness going to do now?" Shen Lingxi asked curiously.

Chu Yan stared into her eyes: "Respond to all changes with the same, if what happened last night is really a serial plan, the other party must have a back move, waiting to take it." ”

Shen Lingxi nodded approvingly.

"We are in the open, and the enemy is in the dark, even if we want to do it, we must know where the other party comes from." She muttered in a low voice.

Chu Yan saw that her clear Lingling's apricot eyes were full of trust and support for herself.

She also said "we" to him, which meant that she had already put him into her domain.

The corners of Chu Yan's lips were slightly raised, and his deep and cold phoenix eyes were like ice and snow melting in an instant.

"Toss all night, I'll take you back to rest, and everything will be solved when you wake up."

As he spoke, he turned his head and instructed the embroidered envoy, "Dig out all the buried things, find out the origin of the underground palace here, submit the file, and wait until dawn, Lone personally goes to report to the emperor, and the emperor will decide." ”

Embroidered clothes should be underneath.

Shen Lingxi didn't sleep all night, and when he heard him say this, he was really a little tired, nodded and walked side by side with him to Anhua Palace.

At the same time, in the most remote corner of the palace, a thin and craggy figure quietly released a carrier pigeon while no one was around.

And behind him, out of sight, there was a beautiful dress in a beautiful shadow, looking at him with a faint gaze......

*

Overnight, two bizarre and strange things happened in the palace that shocked the government and the opposition.

First, Mu Xue'e, the lord of Bingqing County, died violently in the palace.

The second is that the former underground palace was found in the backyard of the Jizo Palace, and the name of the former princess was engraved on the stone wall of the underground palace.

If it is just one thing, it may not cause too much of a sensation.

But these two things are related to the imperial grandson Chu Yan, and they are extremely bizarre, which will inevitably cause many reveries among people.

From the officials who accompanied the car, down to the palace servants and maids, they all discussed in private, this cold-faced and ruthless His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, isn't it really "evil god" possession, and the heavenly evil lone star is not successful?

Not only the father and mother, but also the wife...... It's horrible.

What's more, Emperor Yunguo's curse on the Chu royal family before his death was once again in the dust:

"Yesterday, the county lord of Bingqing was still beating those noble girls who entered the palace at the gate of the palace, and it was rumored that she was the internal candidate of the imperial concubine, and she died violently in the palace in just one night.

"The lord of Bingqing County has been in the splendid pile since he was born, and he has been loved by thousands of people, the emperor and the queen have indulged her, and even the queen mother likes her, can this still be called a blessing? That must be the emperor's grandson is too hard, and he died! ”

"In this way, the curse of Emperor Yun Guo was not fulfilled on the imperial grandson, it must be because he was hard."

"But isn't it, although he can bear the curse with his life, but at the moment, as long as he has a relationship with him, he will be killed by him. You see, as soon as it was rumored in the front foot palace that the county lord of Bingqing was the internal candidate of the imperial concubine, the county lord of Bingqing on the back foot died...... It's exactly the same as the two highnesses who died before...... It is equivalent to cursing the emperor's grandson who can't die, and he is restrained by him to the people close to him. ”

"That is, if it weren't for the appearance of the name of the first princess in the underground palace of the previous dynasty, who would remember that when the first princess died, there was no curse of the emperor!"

"Yes, yes, I heard that he died in the arms of this imperial grandson, and his death was tragic."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to live in peace if I die, I heard that the Jizo Palace was a place to sacrifice to the concubine in the previous dynasty, and the soul lock well is one hundred and eighty-one feet, leading straight to the netherworld, and it is very evil. Maybe the royal family of the previous dynasty laid some terrible magic circle in it to refine the soul. ”

"Now that I think about it, the day the first prince died, it was the day when the imperial grandson returned to Beijing from the border pass, and I don't know if it was the emperor's curse that took effect, or the imperial grandson's life."

Listening to these rumors, those officials who had to send their daughters to the palace before they were going to be elected as the crown princess, but all those who loved and pitied their daughters did not want to take their daughters out of the palace.

The real cause of death of the county lord of Bingqing, with the acquiescence of the emperor, was suppressed by the empress who came forward to issue a gag order.

Under the increasingly fierce rumors, the queen asked the chamberlain to send those nobles out of the palace one by one.

Only in this case, Li Yuejiao, who was seriously injured and overly frightened, continued to stay in the palace because the emperor personally ordered the imperial doctor to treat her.

And Danzhu was detained by Chu Yan in the hands of the embroidered messenger in the name of trying the case.

It's just that the grievances between the Liu family and the Duchess Chengen are only Danzhu's words, and there is no empirical evidence.

Cheng'en Gong Mu Tiangang confessed his guilt, and on the grounds that he did not repair his inner clothes, he wrote to the emperor to ask for guilt.

Mu Xue'e's death, although it was caused by Liu's orphan's revenge, Yu Linwei was also responsible for negligence.

The emperor remembered the new funeral of his beloved daughter in Cheng'en Gong, and did not investigate the fault of Cheng'en Gongfu.

On the contrary, he severely punished Dong Lixin, the deputy commander of Yu Linwei, for the crime of dereliction of duty, ordered him to return to Beijing for introspection, and handed over the responsibility of the internal guard of this mausoleum to the embroidery envoy for the time being.

In this way, it provided convenience for Chu Yan to thoroughly investigate Yu Linwei and investigate the origin of Danzhu's accomplice last night.

Gong Chengen took Mu Xue'e's body out of the palace, took Mrs. Zhou's spirit back to Beijing for burial, and left Mu Huai'an to accompany him.

At the same time, Chu Yan had sent people to fly pigeons back to Beijing, and Su Xian, who had been invited, also rushed to the palace at the beginning of the hour.

*

Shen Lingxi rested for two hours in the side hall of Anhua Palace, and when he woke up, he learned what happened in just two hours through the mouths of the concubines of the former dynasty and the queen.

She frowned unconsciously.

Those rumors are not vicious to Chu Yan, whose parents are dead.

Liu Meiren and the souls of the concubines surrounded Shen Lingxi and said to her:

"Xiao Langjun is really pitiful, since the death of his mother, the rumors that he has rejected his mother have never stopped, and now because of Mu Xue'e, it is even more impossible to explain."

"Yes, everyone in the world says that the emperor is the 'son of heaven', and the prince is the future emperor, so naturally he is also a divine monarch, and he should be the embodiment of Furui. But now that Xiao Langjun has not yet entered the East Palace, he is already such a notoriety, I am afraid that even if he ascends to the throne in the future, because of the rampant rumors, he may not be able to win the hearts of the people. ”

"If there is another natural disaster or something, I am afraid that there will be chaos."

"The mouth of the people is more important than the mouth of the river, and it is not easy to block the mouth of the people."

"Yes, this is only quietly spread among the officials who accompany the palace in the palace, and when it reaches the mouths of the people in the capital in the coming day, I don't know what it will become, little girl, you don't feel sorry for your little lover?"

"'Neiding Crown Princess' died violently, no matter what, the name of this wife can't be washed away, little girl, it's better for you to marry him directly, as long as you marry him, this rumor will be self-defeating, and everyone will be happy."

"Yes, yes, we have been in the palace all these years, watching Xiao Langjun grow up, if we can see him marry the woman he likes, we will be reincarnated in the next day, and we will be satisfied."

Shen Lingxi listened to these words, and his eyebrows jumped.

"But yesterday, you clearly said that 'as soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea', and you want to 'have fun in time, as long as you don't enter the palace', why did your kung fu change at this moment?"

Liu Meiren pursed her lips and smiled, "Yesterday is yesterday, and today is today." The name of this wife is spread like this, who dares to send his daughter to Xiao Langjun to die again? ”

"That's not it, yesterday it was fragrant, and today it has become a star ghost that no one wants. I'm afraid that at this time, the emperor and the queen mother are afraid that he will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law. ”

Shen Lingxi rubbed his eyebrows and hurriedly changed the topic, "The Dizang Palace found out the name of the former crown princess, His Royal Highness will definitely find a way to destroy that palace and that well, and then my friend who is highly Taoist will fight Jiao for you, and then you can send everyone to reincarnation, in this way, it can be regarded as the fulfillment of your wishes......"

Hearing her say this, Liu Meiren and the concubines looked solemn, and thanked her gratefully.

Liu Meiren said with a smile: "The little girl said earlier that she wanted to inquire about something with us, in exchange, I don't know what it is?" ”

Shen Lingxi took a few breaths, got out of bed, put on embroidered shoes, and walked to the window.

took a pen and paper and sketched a picture of my little aunt.

"I have an old acquaintance, she looks like this, she was hidden by Her Highness, I wonder if you have ever seen her in the palace?"

One by one, the female ghosts walked up to the portrait, carefully identified them, and all shook their heads.

Seeing this, Shen Lingxi's eyes darkened slightly.

Just when she didn't hold out any hope, a slightly petite figure in the female ghost said hesitantly: "Five years ago, I seemed to have seen her, she was escorted by the embroidered messenger named Shengxie next to Xiao Langjun, and stayed in this palace for one night, I remember that she said at that time that she was going to guard the mausoleum......"

After she mentioned this, many people had an impression.

"It's her, that's right." Liu Meiren also remembered, "She was wearing a black veil on her face at the time, and it was only when we went to bed at night that we saw her appearance, she was a beauty, but her age was a little too big compared to Xiao Langjun, and she was not a good match." ”

Shen Lingxi couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes, and asked excitedly, "Then did she say, where to guard the mausoleum?" ”

All the female ghosts looked at her with round eyes.

Seeing this, Liu Meiren shook her head, "Little girl, what is the relationship between this woman and you, and you care so much about her whereabouts?" As the so-called concern is chaos, the Great Zhou Dynasty does not follow the master to live in this palace alone, it must be the people of the royal family, where can the people of the royal family go to guard the mausoleum? ”

"Imperial Tomb!" Shen Lingxi was so excited that she couldn't be more excited, "Yes, she is the good lady of the first prince, if you want to hide her properly, it must be the safest and most appropriate for her to stay in the imperial tomb." ”

With tears in her eyes, she hurriedly thanked them.

I can't wait to grow wings and fly to the imperial tomb immediately.

"Little girl, don't be too happy." Liu Meiren reminded in a good voice: "When the concubine stays in the imperial mausoleum, she is a living dead, but it is not something that anyone can see." With your current status, even if you go to the imperial tomb, I'm afraid you won't be able to see that woman. It's best to find Xiao Langjun and ask him to take you to meet you. ”

When she said this, Shen Lingxi was stunned.

She is not from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she is not very clear about the rules related to the imperial tombs on the Central Plains.

Seeing her dazed appearance, the other female ghosts also noticed something strange.

"Huh? Little girl, since Xiao Langjun hid people, you should ask him directly, why did you come to us in such a big circle? ”

"Since ancient times, heroes have been sad about the beauty pass, do you want to know her whereabouts, lie to Xiao Langjun, or ...... Wouldn't it be nice to give him some sweetness, why bother? ”

"You two, you've done everything you need to do, can't you still hold him?"

"If not, marry him, anyway, he is now a wife who no one dares to marry, if you marry him, you will be a royal person, and you can naturally enter the imperial tomb!"

Shen Lingxi's smile froze, but he didn't expect that he would turn around and return to the original point.

It's just that before she had time to think deeply, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the hall, "Miss Shen, the Queen Mother invites you over, she has something to say to you......"

"It's coming! Here it comes! The female ghosts all laughed at her.

Shen Lingxi didn't feel anything at all, but his cheeks were hot at the moment when he was laughing at them, so he hurriedly responded and carefully folded the little aunt's photo on the table and put it close to his body.

Then he carefully dressed up, opened the temple door, and walked out......
