Now Tang Xian and Yun Yuan are very likely to be in the imperial tomb, and neither of them can have an accident.

He immediately held up the token, not caring whether it was a false decree, and said in a loud voice: "We are here on the orders of the emperor, and from now on, no matter what kind of crime the women in the filial piety tomb have committed, they shall not be punished in private, and those who violate it shall be beheaded!" ”

Punishing the women of the imperial tomb was the right delegated by Emperor Jingguang to the old eunuch Kang, who was stunned and did not receive the decree in time.

The commander of the guards was different from him, and when he saw that the token was the emperor's order, he immediately knelt and bowed, "The last general's order!" ”

Without the guards who obeyed orders, the old eunuch Kang was nothing.

The first order was to prevent the two from being harmed, the second was to strengthen the patrol to prevent people from escaping, and the third was to identify people.

Half an hour later, regardless of age and origin, all the women who were still alive in the filial piety tomb came to Lin Beishu.

It took Lin Beishu half a night to identify the rosters one by one, and to record in detail the crimes and deaths of each of the dead women.

At the end of the investigation, I didn't see a familiar face in the crowd, but I found five people who didn't match the number and 17 people who disappeared without reason in the roster.

The old eunuch Kang faintly felt that something was wrong, his knees trembled, and he explained in a trembling voice: "The slave doesn't know...... Yes, it's all done by Empress Tang......"

"Empress Tang ......" Lin Beishu remembered that there was still this person, and asked, "Where is she?" ”

The old eunuch Kang trembled like chaff, "Sleeping in His Majesty's tomb......"

Lin Beishu was shocked again.

Otherwise, he can rely on the token to make claims, and when it comes to the royal family, he has no right to interfere, and he has to be ordered by Yun Zhu himself.

I won't see this queen today.

Lin Beishu asked again: "Has this Tang Empress ever left the imperial mausoleum?" ”

"No!" Old Eunuch Kang replied sharply, "The villain stares at her every day, and he has never let her out of the imperial tomb!" Adults! The villain will never dare to disobey the imperial decree! ”

Guarding Tang Xian was the most important task of the old eunuch Kang, and he could not admit that he had neglected his duties under any circumstances.

The rest of the guards and eunuchs echoed one after another, pointing out that all the women in the mausoleum were affected by Tang Xian, and anyone could leave, but she was absolutely impossible.

Lin Beishu didn't believe the eunuch's words, and asked the guard commander for verification.

The commander gave the woman who was only in charge of the guards and had never made any contact with the inside, and could only confirm that no one had left the imperial tomb in recent months.

At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly said: "Niangniang needs to sleep every month......"

The old eunuch Kang was reminded and hurriedly said: "Yes, Empress Tang needs to go to the tomb to sleep in the middle of every month, and each time it is a day and a night, and it has never been broken for so many years!" She never left! ”

Lin Beishu ignored him and looked at the crowd, "You say." ”

Rue Xiang, who had opened her mouth earlier, stepped forward tremblingly and nervously testified that Tang Xian had never left the imperial mausoleum, and Liu Tao followed closely and said the same thing.

Lin Beishu remembered the absurd scene he saw in the filial piety tomb in his heart, dispelled his suspicions about the "Tang Empress", and after ordering the guards again not to hurt people again, he took the roster and returned to the capital at dawn.

.

On the same day, in Qingzhou, where the storm was raging, Yun stopped the torture and interrogated the leader of the traitors and received an urgent letter from Zhuang Lian.

"Filial piety."

He froze.

Yun Zhu didn't know much about the imperial tomb, and he didn't understand how Tang Xian could have anything to do with the mausoleum of his ancestors.

His intuition was not good, and he frowned and passed on Lu Qin, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who had been an official for many years and was assigned by him to come to Qingzhou for disaster relief.

When asked about the tomb of Emperor Rongxiao, Lu Qin was stunned, and then remembered in a daze that there was a deposed empress and several concubines there.

"Whose queen ?"

Lu Qin heard that the sound of the cloud was not right, peeked at him, and cautiously repeated: "The third empress of Emperor Rongxiao, Tang Wenmin's granddaughter, what is Tang, Tang...... Tang Xian, yes, it's called Tang Xian. ”

After reigning for about three months, after the crown prince succeeded to the throne, Tang Wenmin's son took the initiative to join the crown prince and expose Tang Wenmin's crimes. The Tang family was defeated, and after that, the prince deposed Tang Xian and imprisoned him in the imperial mausoleum......"

Yun stopped laughing.

It's a smile that is darker than a cloudy sky.

Even when he killed the traitor, Lu Qin had never seen such ferocity in his eyes.

He waited with bated breath for a while, but didn't see any other reaction from Yun Zhu, and asked tentatively, "Childe, is there anything wrong?" ”

Yun stopped and said: "No, yes, it's all right." ”

The two agate came from Xiaoling, she married an old man who died early, her stepson treated her badly, she couldn't remarry, she was a down-and-out noblewoman, and there was a queen in the family......

"I don't like the position of the queen." She said so.

Isn't it, how can you look down on the position of a little queen when you are in a higher position?

There's nothing wrong with that.

"I only learned about ......it until today," Yun Zhu said slowly with a sudden storm in his eyes, closing his eyes, "It turns out that I still have such a young imperial grandmother alive. ”

He knew that Tang Wenmin was a powerful minister who could compete with the crown prince of the dynasty, and he also knew that the father and son were opposed, but he missed Tang Xian, who was extremely inconspicuous in that power struggle.

He also pondered almost all the powerful people in Beijing, but he didn't think about his Yun family himself.

He also called himself a thief.

"From the age of fifteen, he was locked up in a pile of dead people, with the corpse of a bad old man."

"Fifteen."

Yun Zhu laughed twice deeply, and in the next moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he ordered: "Someone!" Tell me ......"

Chapter 66: Pleading

At the end of the day, the door of the tomb opened, and Tang Xian was dazed and was helped back to her residence by two maids.

The courtyard door was closed, Liu Tao went to bring water for washing, Rue Xiang helped her lie down, and asked quietly: "Isn't there a smoke and haze?" Why don't you close your eyes all night? ”

Tang Xian wanted to say goodbye, her lips moved a few times, and finally let out a helpless sigh.

There was smoke and clouds, and she was not afraid, but after the whole night, she could be said to have no peace for a moment.

Her face was haggard, not scared, but tired.

Let's talk about the beginning, after taking Yanxia and Yunyuan into the secret passage of the ear room, Yanxia was shocked by such a huge treasure mine, and was demented for a long time, and muttered inarticulately: "How can this be...... How can there be so many gold and silver treasures......"

Half an hour later, she was stunned, and then she jumped into cheers, so excited that she wanted to overturn the mausoleum, and exclaimed, "I have made a great contribution, I have made a great contribution!" ”

Tang Xian brutally shattered her illusions, "I have already told Zhuang Lian. ”

"Ah......" Yanxia choked in grief, "What a good opportunity to atone for your sins...... Forget it, I don't owe it to that. ”

She was satisfied with the treasure here, and when she learned that there was a hidden weapon nearby, she was even more excited, and she was eager to try it out.

Tang Xian couldn't stop her, watching her deftly break through the dark crossbow arrow array on the periphery and step on the limestone.

The slate, which looked solid, suddenly sank without warning the moment she settled, and the smoke was about to be swallowed up into the ground if it was a little slower.

Tang Xian was frightened, Yanxia didn't care, she could have escaped this catastrophe, and she wanted to move forward.

He took another step forward as if walking on thin ice, and this time the stone slab on the ground was not abnormal, but the tomb slab above his head made a crisp "click", and in an instant, two silver light water injections fell from the sky, almost pouring directly on the head of the smoke.

Recognizing that this was poisonous silver water, Yanxia was so frightened that she hugged her head and ran back, grabbed Tang Xian and Yun Yuan and quickly exited the dark passage, and closed the tomb door.

Fortunately, Tang Xian had already picked up some gold beads rolling out of the corner and stuffed Yun Yuan's small purse bulging.

Yanxia only had those gold and silver treasures and traps in her heart, and Yun Yuan, on the contrary, she was not interested in those gold glitters, and what she was rare were those zodiac terracotta figurines with human and animal faces and strange tomb mechanisms.

"I'm still looking for a door that opens with the push of a button." She begged.

Yanxia was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so she promised to take her to search in the tomb, relying on Yun Yuan to be ignorant, and she didn't even let go of Emperor Rongxiao's coffin!

Tang Xian was forced to follow the two of them through the various chambers of the tomb, jumping up and down all night, and really found a few secret passages leading to other tombs.

It wasn't until dawn that Yun Yuan lost his spirit and squinted for a while.

Tang Xian was almost exhausted, and after washing, she just wanted to close her eyes and sleep, and first relieve the fatigue on her body.

Seeing that she was so tired that she could not say anything, the maid was afraid that she would be punished by the eunuch if she went to the tomb too late, so she was told to rest, and the two of them left in a hurry.

Tang Xian slept quietly, and I don't know how long later, when she was half asleep and half awake, she heard the soft sound of the door.

Is it the smoke that has come back with the clouds? She thought so.

When the tomb door was opened in the early morning, the old eunuch Kang immediately led people into the tomb, Tang Xian could come out openly, Yanxia couldn't, she had to wait a little longer, and wait for the right opportunity before she could take Yun Xuan out secretly.

She's done this countless times, and it's okay to bring a cloud.

Even before hiding with Yunxuan, Yanxia deliberately said to Tang Xian: "We can't get used to your coarse tea and light rice, we will go and make some sacrifices later, don't wait for us to ......."

It's not good to let Yun Yuan follow and nibble on steamed buns. Tang Xian didn't say no.

At this time, all the maids were busy, the eunuchs were overseeing the work, and the guards were not allowed to enter here, except for Yanxia, no one else.

Tang Xian was so tired that she didn't move, waiting for Yun Yuan to call her.

……

The house was quiet, Tang Xian was in a daze, and when she wanted to go back to sleep, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Why hasn't Yun Yuan come to call her yet?

The eyelids weighed a thousand pounds, Tang Xian opened the slit with difficulty, and what caught her eyes was a figure with a cloak and blood on her face.

The figure sat silently on the edge of her bed, its bloodshot eyes staring straight at her, like a ghost.

Tang Xian's heart suddenly contracted, and a spirit sat up, hugging the futon and hiding in the corner.

"You said you had a way to get out." The other party made a hoarse voice, and when he saw that she was going to hide, he climbed onto the bed with his hands and feet, and his bloodstained face was enlarged in front of Tang Xian.

Tang Xian held back her scream, biting the tip of her tongue and nodding vigorously.

The person in front of her is Qiao Guifei.

The maids and most of the concubines had to repeat the tedious work of serving the dead day after day, and under the supervision of a few eunuchs, there was hardly a moment of rest.

Tang Xian has it.

In order not to let her die, she could rest for a whole day on the second day of each bedtime.

Yesterday, Qiao Guifei made such a fuss, according to the temperament of the old eunuch Kang, she can't kill people, and she will be locked up, Tang Xian doesn't know how Qiao Guifei escaped.
