Chapter 36: An Uncle Is Not an Uncle

In the middle of the night, it is the time when everything is silent.

Qi Yuning wore a thick fox coat and followed Lu Ze through a large area of royal mausoleum.

The weeds around the mausoleum withered, and when I took a step, I made a soft noise.

When he walked to the mausoleum, Qi Yuning still didn't understand why he followed Lu Ze to the tomb in the middle of the night to investigate.

"Who!"

The guards guarding the tomb of King Duan heard the voice and even shouted loudly.

But after a while, the Lu family's secret guard covered his mouth with sweat medicine, and he fainted for a while.

Lu Ze opened the mechanism of the mausoleum, the stone door opened, and the passage inside was pitch black.

Lu Ze said to Qi Yuning: "If the county lord is afraid, just wait for me above." ”

Qi Yuning has come here, naturally curiosity overcomes fear, she straightened her back, took out the night pearl in her sleeve and said, "Go in." ”

Lu Ze saw the night pearl in Qi Yuning's hand, but it was brighter than the guard holding the lantern in front of him.

Duan Wang is the prince in the end, the mausoleum built is very spacious, enter the first delicately carved stone gate, the side is full of clay fired boys and girls, the faces of the boys and girls are pale, very terrifying.

Qi Yuning stepped forward and pinched Lu Ze's sleeve.

Lu Ze glanced back at Qi Yuning and asked, "Scared?" ”

Qi Yuning said: "The third prince was very good to me when he was alive, what am I afraid of doing?" ”

Lu Ze glanced at Qi Yuning, who was pinching his sleeve, and did not tear her down.

When you enter the first stone gate, you can see where the mechanism is.

Lu Ze easily broke the mechanism, "Fortunately, Princess Duan is going to live here after a hundred years, and the mechanism is not very powerful." ”

Qi Yuning followed Lu Ze into the second tomb door, and found that the layout here was two rooms, and one of the smaller tombs was full of women's things.

It is full of sets of delicate clothes, as well as beautifully embroidered brocade shoes, and more than 20 sets of heads and faces are precious stones.

Lu Ze said: "The third aunt is still alive, so she prepared the funeral goods?" ”

Qi Yuning said: "No, the funeral goods here seem to be for the girl, this string of red coral Yingluo, I and Lu Baozhu couldn't buy it, it was here." ”

After Qi Yuning put down the burial goods, he entered the last tomb with Lu Ze.

Inside is a wide sarcophagus with exquisite carvings.

Lu Ze said to Qi Yuning: "Lord Qi, turn around, we want to open the sarcophagus." ”

Lu Ze motioned for the guards behind him to come forward and carry the sarcophagus, Qi Yuning's boldness was also exhausted here, and she turned around not to look.

The sarcophagus lid was heavy, and Lu Ze and several guards only moved a fraction of a minute to lift it, and it took a while to open the sarcophagus.

Qi Yuning smelled a strange smell, and she even covered her nose with a handkerchief.

Lu Ze looked at the coffin and said, "How can there be two corpses?" ”

Qi Yuning took a closer look, and saw two corpses, one large and one small, hanging with rotten flesh.

Just when I was scared and covered in hair, a female scream came!

"What are you doing here? Yes! ”

Qi Yuning saw the long-haired woman in white who appeared in front of her, her face turned pale in an instant, and the night pearl in her hand fell to the ground.

Lu Zelian stepped forward to hold Qi Yuning's hand and pulled her into his arms.

Lu Ze saw Princess Duan, who was dressed in white in front of him, and said, "Third uncle, why are there two corpses here?" ”

Qi Yuning felt the temperature of his fingertips coming, and looked into the sarcophagus again.

The sarcophagus is very large, and there are two corpses lying there, one is wearing a Yunjin python robe, which is a high-ranking prince at a glance, and the other corpse is smaller, wearing a palace costume, which is the palace costume of the county lord in terms of grade.

The guards beside Lu Ze went to check the corpse in women's clothes, only to see Princess Duan rushing over like crazy, "Don't touch my Shan'er!" No one is allowed to touch my Shan'er! ”

Princess Duan stared at the people in the tomb with red eyes, "Lu Ze, this is your uncle, how can you come to open the coffin!" ”

Lu Ze said: "Third uncle, it is because of my uncle that I want to know the cause of his death, and why is Cousin Shan, who has no bones, here, looking at the appearance of her bones, it is not like she was ten years old when she disappeared, she should be twelve or thirteen years old, right?" ”

Princess Duan was not afraid of the carrion corpse, looking at the two people in the sarcophagus, she helplessly stretched out her hand to support the sarcophagus and said:

"I've avoided everything, why can't you let me go, I don't know anything, I just want to live well with my Jie'er."

"I only have Jie'er!"

"You are also people who have daughters, my Shan'er, Shan'er, who I have loved for ten years, died very miserably, why don't you let me go!"

Qi Yuning broke away from Lu Ze's hand holding her, and walked to Princess Duan to help her, "Princess, we don't want to let you go, but don't you really want to take revenge?" ”

Princess Duan cried bitterly: "Revenge? How to get revenge? ”

Qi Yuning said: "Lu Shizi will find out the real murderer for you." ”

Lu Ze nodded and said, "Third uncle, I will seek justice for my third uncle." ”

Qi Yuning pulled out a decorative hairpin on his head, went over to help Princess Duan put her long hair up, and asked, "Princess, why is Lord Shan here?" ”

Princess Duan was grief-stricken and helpless to tears.

Lu Ze said coldly: "If the princess doesn't want to say it, I will go to Your Majesty and let Dali Temple investigate this case, after all, the death of the county lord is not a trivial matter." ”

Qi Yuning also said softly to Princess Duan: "Princess, Sister Shan also needs justice. ”

Princess Duan said helplessly: "You have to promise me not to tell Your Majesty first, and not to tell the public." ”

Qi Yuning and Lu Ze glanced at each other and nodded.

Princess Duan cried bitterly: "Shan'er couldn't be found when she was ten years old, many people said that they saw Shan'er fall into the river, we looked for it, and we didn't find the body after asking all over the river."

Later, my mother and mother persuaded me and the prince to have another one while they could still give birth.

But Shan'er is our baby, even if she has other children, she is not Shan'er.

After having Jie'er, Wang Ye and I have never forgotten Shan'er, and never gave up looking for Shan'er, after all, we want to see people in life and see corpses in death, until three years after Shan'er's disappearance, Wang Tao found us. ”

Qi Yuning said: "Wang Tao? ”

Lu Ze motioned for the guards to bring Wang Tao over.

Princess Duan nodded and said: "Wang Tao handed over a woman's corpse to us, although after three years, my Shan'er has grown from a half-grown child to a girl, but I and the prince recognized the female corpse as Shan'er at a glance."

That's our Shan'er, and the birthmark on Shan'er's body is also there, and Shan'er is ...... all over her body."

Princess Duan was trembling and couldn't speak at all, and her throat was sour.

Qi Yuning hugged Princess Duan and said, "Princess." ”

Princess Duan cried: "Shan'er is full of traces of humiliation, died very miserably, the prince can't accept to ask Wang Tao's corpse about the origin, Wang Tao said that it was one of his comrades-in-arms brought out of the Shu Palace, at that time Wang Tao's comrades-in-arms were already breathing, and they couldn't ask anything." ”

Princess Duan was grief-stricken and said: "That night, the prince was going to go to the palace of Shu to question, I was stupid, I was stupid, I didn't want Shan'er to be humiliated, I just wanted Shan'er to leave innocently, so I stopped the prince and didn't let the prince make a big deal about it, I was really stupid." ”

When Princess Duan was grieving, she slapped herself angrily.

Qi Yuning shook Princess Duan's hand again and again: "You're right, Lord Shan left innocently." ”

This is the way of the world, no one will think that the woman is innocent when she is abused, Rao is the royal lord who is high, and once she is humiliated to death, she will also be laughed at in secret.

Princess Duan's choice is also helpless.

Princess Duan choked up and said: "When we found Shan'er's corpse, it was a sacrificial ceremony, and we plan to wait for the sacrificial ceremony to come back, and we will say that we have found Shan'er's corpse, and we will hold a funeral for Shan'er to let Shan'er enter the ground."

Who knew that the prince couldn't come back, and he fell into the lake and died! ”

Princess Duan was extremely sad and said: "The King of Shu and Concubine Xian are extremely powerful, what can I do?" Do I really ignore Shan'er's reputation and ask the King of Shu for revenge and death without any evidence? ”

"I can't kill the King of Shu by myself, I still have Jie'er, I can't really kill the King of Shu, let me be lonely and helpless!"

"The death of the prince, many people have seen it, he was dragged down by the water ghost and drowned, and my Shan'er's death has not been seen by anyone, even if he asks for justice, there is not even a single evidence.

I can only let everyone see my Shan'er's corpse after being humiliated, let her suffer another humiliation, let her be laughed at by the world, I don't want to! ”

Qi Yuning looked at Princess Duan distressedly, the daughter on the tip of her heart, her husband, was dead, no wonder Princess Duan left the prosperity of Shengjing and lived in seclusion here.

Qi Yuning sighed, and when he saw Lu Ze's men escorting Wang Tao into the tomb, he asked, "Wang Tao, is the corpse of the Lord of Shanjun really from the Shu Palace?" ”

Wang Tao said: "Yes, the corpse of the Lord of Shanjun was given to me by General Huo Anhuo, and after General Huo gave me the corpse, he lost his life." ”

"Uncle Huo!"

Qi Yuning was shocked, Huo Annai was her grandfather's apprentice, and he was the most loyal.

Qi Yuning thought that he had died a long time ago, and died in the battle with his father and mother fourteen years ago.

Wang Tao said: "General Huo has been incognito in the Shu Wangfu for some reason all these years, and he instructed me to give the body of the Lord of Shanjun to King Duan, and he also said that uncle is not an uncle before he took a breath......
