Chapter 260
Yu Zhouwan whispered a few words to the guard who took the wooden box and Zhang Yuren's head, and then said aloud to the remaining group of guards: "You guys, come with me!"
Yu Zhouwan took the group of guards to lead the order, King Yun called the palace maids to clean up the lime powder on the floor, he and Zhuang Mengdie sat down again, and the two of them watched several palace maids busy cleaning up, and no one spoke again.
About half an hour later, a palace maid entered the palace to report that the imperial dining room had prepared lunch, and Wang Jun Yang Jingyue had also ordered someone to go to pass the word and ask Zhuang Mengdie if she wanted to pass the dish at this moment.
Although the dormitory had been cleaned, the smell of blood and lime powder was completely gone, replaced by the faint ambergris burning in the incense burner.
But even so, Zhuang Mengdie still had no appetite, not to mention that she invited King Yun and Yang Jingyue to have lunch together just now just to take the opportunity to persuade King Yun to let Xiao Gu come back and serve closely.
But being troubled by the terrifying thing just now, Zhuang Mengdie had no choice but to put this down in advance, after all, not only her at this moment, but also King Yun, all his thoughts were on Lin Yuanxiao's body, if Lin Yuanxiao really didn't die and escaped from the imperial tomb, then his existence was definitely a mortal threat to them.
Zhuang Mengdie sent the palace maid away, King Yun was in trouble at the moment, and he didn't want Yang Jingyue to come over and make a noise, so he ordered the palace maid to accompany Yang Jingyue to lunch, and not let him come to Her Majesty's bedroom.
After the palace maid took the order and left, only King Yun and Zhuang Mengdie were left sitting opposite each other in the huge dormitory, and the two of them had their own hearts and were silent. Time passed little by little in this dull and solemn atmosphere, and every quarter of an hour, for Zhuang Mengdie and King Yun, who were sitting and waiting for news at the moment, were unusually long, as if time had stood still.
In this way, the two sat silently until the pot of tea on the table had been drunk, and it was not until the sky gradually darkened that the guards hurried back to restore their lives.
"What are you talking about?In the mausoleum of Her Majesty the former Empress, Lin Yuanxiao's body was missing?" After listening to the report of the frightened guard, Zhuang Mengdie asked with a look of surprise. Although I had already thought that this would be the result, thinking about it and hearing it with my own ears were not the same after all.
It turned out that after Yu Zhouwan took the guards to the imperial tomb, he found that the appearance of Empress Zhuang's mausoleum was not damaged or unusual, he led the guards and craftsmen, pried open the iron door blocking the tomb and entered the tomb, and searched inside, but still did not find Lin Yuanxiao's body, let alone the body, not even the sword related to Lin Yuanxiao or a piece of clothing corner, has not been found.
No one could disappear into thin air in the tomb where the exit was completely sealed, and sure enough, after careful search by the guards, they found that there was a secret passage under the coffin of Empress Zhuang that allowed one person to pass through.
After Yu Zhouwan left a few guards to guard above, he did not hesitate to lead the remaining guards into the secret passage, and after turning around, he found that the exit of this tomb road was a maple forest not far from the imperial tomb. 139 Chinese
This maple forest is no stranger to every royal family in Tianxuan Kingdom, and Yu Zhouwan, as Yang Chengyun's righteous son, also knows a little about it.
In this maple forest, there is a temple called Luofeng Temple. Luofeng Temple was built by the Zhuang royal family and has a history of hundreds of years. Rakukae Temple is more of a prison than a temple. The people living in it are all His Royal Highnesses who used to be noble.
It is difficult for a mountain to tolerate two tigers, and it is impossible for a country to have two emperors, and in order to compete for the throne of the emperor, there are not a few people who kill each other and step on the blood of their relatives to ascend the throne of God. This point, Tianxuan Kingdom is no exception, but if the emperor who ascends the throne can't bear to kill his siblings, and this sibling is not in the same camp as himself, staying in the capital and fearing that the other party will rebel one day, he will send the other party to this Luofeng Temple.
His Royal Highness, who has always had no intention of being with the emperor, and does not want to kill with his own siblings, some people will invite themselves to enter Luofeng Temple to spend the rest of their lives in order to avoid suspicion.
Empress Zhuang's younger sister, the sixth highness of the previous dynasty, Zhuang Lihu, is like this, she has no intention of competing for power and the throne, but among the six sisters, she is more favored by the mother emperor. She was tired of the open and secret battles in the palace, and after her most beloved good horse was poisoned in her mansion, she became disheartened by the so-called family affection and only invited her to enter the Luofeng Temple.
Later, in the struggle for imperial power, Zhuang Yimo won and was honored at the ceremony, and the six sisters, in this cruel struggle, only Zhuang Yimo and Zhuang Wanghu survived. Since ancient times, no one knows whether the four highnesses who died in the struggle for imperial power will regret it before they die, and whether they will regret that if they were not obsessed with power at the beginning, they would not have ended up like that. Will you regret that you were born in the emperor's family and repeat the story that the emperor's family is destined to happen?
Zhuang Yimo was honored at the ceremony, known as the supreme empress of Tianxuan Kingdom, she did think about keeping Zhuang Wanghu, whether there would be a big disaster in the future, after all, she is also the bloodline of the Zhuang family, and she was the most beloved by the mother emperor during her lifetime.
But Zhuang Yimo tried Zhuang Wanghu many times, but Zhuang Wanghu was still unmoved, except for going to the imperial tomb to visit the mother and his husband, Zhuang Wanghu would never step out of the maple forest half a step.
The people who secretly monitored Zhuang Wanghu, day after day, year after year, brought back the news to Zhuang Yimo, all of which His Royal Highness had never contacted anyone else except for the servant girl he brought with him.
Over time, Zhuang Yimo finally withdrew all the people who were secretly watching Zhuang Wanghu, as long as Zhuang Wanghu did not endanger her position as empress, there was no need for her to kill Zhuang Wanghu.
The supreme power and glory she wanted to get were obtained, but at the same time she lost a lot, she didn't want to lose even Zhuang Wanghu's sister, after all, she didn't forget the time when they played together when they were young, maybe they didn't forget, but as the emperor's family, they were destined to not be like ordinary sisters.
Perhaps Zhuang Lihu saw it more thoroughly than the five sisters, and was more able to let go, and even more tired of it, so she finally chose to flee. She can't change the fact that she was born in the imperial family, but she can choose the lifestyle she wants.
No one knows how His Royal Highness is a country, how can he live such a lonely and boundless life at a young age, the only thing that can be known is that every late autumn, when the maple leaves are the reddest, Zhuang Wanghu will stand in the maple forest, blowing the jade flute she carries over and over again......
