Chapter 136: The Night of the Imperial Tomb
Two days later. News came from the palace. Zhang Jing, the commander of the forbidden army, has already found out. Those Assassins were remnants of the North-County Rebellion that had escaped. Because he was unwilling to be pressed by Ye Tiancheng. Seeing that Ye Chengcheng was dead. took revenge on Xiao Ling's body with this resentment. And the emperor led the chapter to track down the whereabouts of the remnants of Beijun.
"Message. Dafan Ningyue people. There are those who denounce the remnants of the rebellion in North County. A hundred taels of silver. Xiao Ling sat on the dragon chair. looked at Zhang Jing, the commander of the forbidden army below. So said.
"We're in charge. Zhang Jing immediately understood what Xiao Ling meant. He gave up his hand and took the command.
The sword-wielding assassins were all martial artists. Shoot fast and accurately. At first glance, you can tell that it is a specially trained killer. How could it be the remnants of the North County. Xiao Ling was thoughtful. How can you not see it. The first update says so. It's just to let the people behind the scenes let their guard down. Revealing flaws. Just to track it down.
"Your Majesty. The coffin of the concubine has been transported to the imperial tomb. Please ask the emperor to command. "It didn't take long for Zhang Jing to leave. Qin Xi walked in. So said.
The concubine in his mouth is Concubine An Luo Yiyi. Previously, Xiao Ling had ordered Concubine An to be posthumously crowned as a concubine. According to the ancestral system of burial of the imperial mausoleum.
"Buried it. Concubine An died. Hou with a different surname will enter Beijing in a few days. One way or another. I've got to give him an explanation. Xiao Ling commanded Qin Xi.
"The minions obeyed. Qin Xi bowed in response. Then speak. "Your Majesty. One more thing. Mingyue, the palace maid beside Concubine An. Take the initiative to ask to go to the imperial tomb to guard the mausoleum for the concubine. ”
"That's right. Except for the bright moon. In addition, eighteen palace maids and eunuchs were sent to guard the tomb for Concubine An. The different surname Hou is an old minister of the first emperor. Heavy armies. It's hard to deal with. There is a person who guards the tomb for Concubine An. It can be regarded as my value for Concubine An. Xiao Ling waved his hand. Let Qin Xi go down.
He had suspected Concubine An and Mingyue before. I thought they were mysterious women who had repeatedly broken into the court. But now it has been determined that the mysterious woman is related to Mu Qingchen. Concubine An has passed away again. Naturally, there was no suspicion.
Xiao Ling finished reading the recital in Longchen Palace. He instructed the little eunuch outside to prepare a sedan chair. Head towards the Purple Smoke Palace.
It's been like this every day these days. Every morning after the morning pilgrimage. He reviewed the folds in Longchen Palace. More and faster chapters are here. Then go to the Purple Smoke Palace for lunch. watched the palace people of the Purple Smoke Palace change the medicine for Concubine Shu. In the afternoon, the courtiers were summoned to discuss the war in several countries at the border. Or find Zhang Jing to find out about the assassin.
Everyone in the palace saw that Xiao Ling was so considerate to Gu Yanru. Every day. The impression of Xiao Ling in my heart changed slightly. The palace people who had a lot of guilt in their hearts because Ye Chengcheng was given death were also slightly relieved. gradually put Xiao Ling's past evil deeds behind.
When Xiao Ling arrived at the gate of the Purple Smoke Palace. happened to run into Shen Bihuan.
"Your Majesty is auspicious. Shen Bihuan stepped forward and saluted.
"Excuse me. You also come to see the concubine. Xiao Ling asked casually.
"Concubine Shu was seriously injured in order to save the emperor. made the concubine quite embarrassed. The concubine did not have the blessing of the concubine's sister. Knowing that the emperor has all kinds of opportunities. Let's take a look at Sister Shufei. It can be regarded as a piece of the concubine's heart. Shen Bihuan said. It seems to be very knowledgeable.
"You're more sensible now than you used to be. Xiao Ling couldn't help but nodded. said. Turned around and walked towards the Purple Smoke Palace.
Shen Bihuan followed. Follow Xiao Ling's side. Without a trace, he said: "That's a coincidence. The emperor stood on the altar for so long. The Assassins didn't do anything. But Concubine Shu's sister went up. He was ambushed by the Assassins. But I don't know what these assassins are trying to assassinate the emperor. Or to assassinate Concubine Shu's sister. ”
Xiao Ling was slightly stunned when he heard this. Turned his head and glanced at Shen Bihuan. There was no sound. He entered the Purple Smoke Palace.
As always. The Purple Smoke Palace has already prepared a meal. Let Xiao Ling eat. saw that Shen Bihuan also came along. Wen Qin hurriedly ordered the palace maid below to take an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks. Let Shen Bihuan accompany Xiao Ling to eat.
This time, Xiao Ling didn't stay in the Purple Smoke Palace for long. But it was mentioned that she hadn't been to the imperial concubine's Bizhi Palace for a long time. After lunch. and Shen Bihuan left together. I went to Bizhi Palace to sit and rest.
"Wenqin. Do you feel that something is wrong? "After Xiao Ling and Shen Bihuan leave. Ye Xi suddenly spoke.
"Something is wrong. Wen Qin was surprised.
"Your friends on the rivers and lakes are reliable. You clearly only let them shoot the lady and cause chaos before leaving. More and faster chapters are here. How could there be so many people in black? Ye Xi said. "What's more. Our mother's injury was planned. But Concubine An died. Yu Meiren and Su Cairen both injured their arms. One hurt his waist. But only the imperial concubine was unscathed. ”
"What do you mean. The man in black who appeared later. It is the person of the imperial concubine. Wen Qin understood what Ye Xi meant. asked. Then he spoke. "That's right. It had to be her. She clearly knew that the emperor came to Ziyan Palace for dinner at this time of the day. But she didn't come sooner or later. Just wait for the emperor to come. It's clearly ill-intentioned. ”
"That's just my guess. I'm not sure she's her. Ye Xi's face was worried. But his eyes were silent. So said.
"It must be that she's right. Now the mother is unconscious. Concubine An died. Yang Zhaoyi is her own person. She is the only one in the palace who is the biggest threat. Wen Qin said. "There are not many concubines in the palace. It's still early for the draft. She is the only one in the palace now. ”
Ye Xi listened. Nodding approvingly. But at the moment of turning. A sarcastic smile crossed the corners of his mouth.
The palace is full of treachery. The imperial tomb is also gloomy. Except for the bright moon. Those palace maids and eunuchs who were sent by Xiao Ling to guard Concubine An's mausoleum. They all cried and cried. Lament your coming fate.
The imperial tomb is miserable. Only vegetarian should be used daily. Don't eat meat. And it's deserted. No one has been here all year round. Only the mausoleum keepers are here to accompany each other. Most importantly. Once selected to guard the mausoleum. You have to stay here for three years. Eat fasting and chant Buddha every day. For the undead to exceed.
Mingyue walked at the forefront of these palace maids and eunuchs. followed behind Concubine An's coffin. watched Concubine An being buried. But his gaze casually swept around. Seems to be observing something.
After Qin Xi and the guards carrying the coffin gave incense to Concubine An. Instructed Mingyue to lead the other palace maids and eunuchs into the imperial tomb. Wait until everybody is in. Then he turned and left. No longer staying.
"Alright. Don't cry anymore. Crying is useless. Since you're here. Just stay here. Mingyue listened to the cries of the palace maids around her. I couldn't help but feel upset. Even the voice grew cold.
"You came on your own. Of course, stay here with peace of mind. None of us volunteered. A little palace maid retorted.
"You think I want you to come. You're here. It's all a hassle for me. "Mingyue is not bound by those rules in the palace. The temper that I had developed in the Star Picking Building before has also come up. Speak unceremoniously either.
Her petition to guard the tomb for Concubine An was Mu Qingchen's arrangement. But she didn't expect Xiao Ling to send eighteen followers over. It was supposed to be a simple thing. Now I have to guard against these eighteen pairs of eyes. It's troublesome enough.
It may be that the evil aura on Mingyue's face frightened those palace maids. They didn't cry anymore. Instead, he looked at Mingyue timidly. Then he stood silently to the side. Boredom waiting for the night to come.
The so-called guarding the tomb is actually sitting in front of the spirit every day and reciting sutras. Pray for the dead. But the imperial mausoleum is different from the general mausoleum. Few of the people who guarded the royal tomb volunteered. Most of them were forced. If no one is watching. That's three days of fishing, and two days of drying nets. Spend the whole day sitting in this deep, dark place.
The nine-bead chain can protect Concubine An's heart. And the person who picked up the star tower deliberately did not stab the key point when he started. Therefore, Concubine An's life will not be in danger. But Concubine An is a sword in her heart after all. Although she ordered the acupoint in time to stop the bleeding. But there was no treatment for several days. What's more, the air in the coffin is limited. If Concubine An can't breathe. It's also hard to survive.
So according to the arrangement of dust removal. The night of Concubine An's burial. It's the best time to dig out Concubine An.
A cold wind blew. In the middle of the distant mountains outside the imperial tomb, there may be one or two wild birds and insects. The light also faded away. It's almost impossible to see each other's faces clearly.
"I know you don't want to come. Just stay here. I went on a night watch. By the way, burn some paper money for the concubine. "After a long time. Mingyue got up. So said. Walk outside.
The moon was already faintly hanging in the sky. The moonlight, as thin as a cicada's wings, shrouded the entire imperial tomb like a light veil. It looks particularly poignant and calm. In this place where the bones of many emperors and concubines are buried. The air of cold is quite heavy. The cold that comes from time to time almost gives people the illusion of a foolish existence.
Mingyue listened intently to the movements around her. I felt that there was no one in the four fields. Only the sound of his own heartbeat was exceptionally clear in the dark night. He did not hesitate. Went directly to Concubine An's mausoleum.
The mausoleum was built a long time ago. Only wait for the harem concubines to be buried after a hundred years. Activate the trap on the tombstone. The mausoleum opened on its own.
The bright moon follows the memory of the day. Turn on the mechanism on the tombstone. A strip on the mausoleum was revealed. And Concubine An's coffin. It was placed at the end of this tunnel. She wasn't in a hurry to get in. Instead, he stood next to the mausoleum. Someone seems to be waiting.
It didn't take long. There were several black figures outside the Imperial Tomb. The first one is Mu Qingchen. He was followed by Ning Chen and Night Death. Rushing towards the place where Mingyue stood.
"The landlord. You're here. Mingyue saw someone coming. said.
"Concubine An is inside. Qingchen saw the bright moon. He glanced down at the mausoleum. asked. Seeing Mingyue nodded. Then he commanded the two men who followed him. "Ning Chen. You two go down. Bring Concubine An up. ”
Ning Chen and Ye Di heard this. Then they went down to the mausoleum. Ding Ding Dong was tinkering for a while.
"The emperor sent eighteen palace maids and eunuchs to guard the mausoleum with me. If it weren't for the landlord saying that the innocent would not be harmed. I would have killed them all. I will be able to leave with you tonight. Mingyue complained to Qingchen.
"You'd better stay a few more days. Let's find the right time to go. "Qingchen has seen Mingyue enter the palace for so long. It's still this acute sub. I couldn't help but laugh. "I will temporarily put Concubine An in the Star Picking Building to take care of her. As soon as you get out, you rush to the Star Picking Tower to take care of her. ”
