Chapter 161: The Secret Case

The box was opened by Tongtian Shenlong, and it was not the ashes of Concubine Cao Duan, but a plain note. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info plain paper is folded three times, and the back is lit with cinnabar. Presumably it has been a long time, and the bright red cinnabar has turned a dark red.

Tongtian Shenlong opened the plain paper, and there were many small characters densely written in it, and he read it line by line. It was the real cause of death of his beloved.

Cao Luoying was canonized as a concubine in the fifteenth year of Jiajing, and Emperor Jiajing favored her. If it weren't for the change in Renyin Palace, Cao Luoying might have replaced the queen at that time as the master of the harem.

It was precisely because she was favored by Emperor Jiajing that she was jealous of the empress. So the queen secretly planned a conspiracy, which was the Renyin Palace Change.

Emperor Jiajing was still diligent in his early years, but after middle age, he became increasingly obsessed with the theory of immortality, and meditating on alchemy has become a common thing. Later, he actually heard that the Taoist priest said that "sucking wind and drinking dew" can become immortals, so he sent a large number of palace maids to the imperial garden to collect dew in the early morning every day for him to drink.

But after a long time, the palace maids fell ill one after another due to physical exhaustion, but Emperor Jiajing actually intensified and made them get up earlier. So much so that the palace maids resented the emperor in their hearts.

At this time, the queen sent people to find these bullied palace maids, and everyone discussed killing the emperor at night while he was asleep, and then rebelled. But they didn't know that the queen's conspiracy was behind it.

That night, Emperor Jiajing stayed in the palace of Concubine Cao Duan, and the two slept soundly. The palace maids suddenly attacked and strangled Emperor Jiajing's neck with yellow silk cloth in an attempt to strangle him. At this time, someone suddenly broke in outside the door, and it turned out to be the queen who had been prepared for a long time. Just waiting for the palace maids to make trouble, she brought someone to rescue her.

The guards arrested the palace maids, and these palace maids who were used were condemned as rebels on the spot and beheaded overnight. And Emperor Jiajing was killed in the palace of Concubine Cao Duan, and the queen fanned the flames on the side and said that if no one instructed them, these palace maids would definitely not have the courage to rebel.

The queen said that because it happened in Concubine Cao Duan's palace, she must have instructed it. At that time, the emperor was so frightened and angry that he ordered Concubine Cao Duan to be late. The queen on the side saw that her plan had succeeded and eliminated the threat, and hurriedly ordered the execution.

A few days later, when Emperor Jiajing found out that there was something suspicious about this matter, Concubine Cao Duan had already been chopped to death. Before her death, she was the emperor's favorite concubine, and the emperor did not believe that she would harm himself. So he sent someone to investigate secretly, and finally found out the truth in the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing.

The queen designed to frame Concubine Cao Duan because of jealousy.

Emperor Jiajing was furious when he learned the truth, he was also an infatuated person. In order to avenge the concubine, he sent someone to set a fire in the queen's palace in the middle of the night.

The fire alarmed the Forbidden City, but Emperor Jiajing ordered that no one should go to put out the fire. The queen was burned alive, which can be regarded as revenge for Concubine Cao Duan.

Tongtian Shenlong looked at the plain note in his hand, tears flowed down his face, he couldn't imagine that the truth was like this. originally hated Emperor Jiajing, but he did not hesitate to burn down the palace in order to avenge Cao Luoying. From this matter, Tongtian Shenlong has also forgiven him.

After Emperor Jiajing avenged Concubine Cao Duan, he still missed it day and night, but she had no bones. can only find the clothes she wore when she entered the palace as a substitute and put them in the crystal coffin. Before Emperor Jiajing died, he personally wrote down the truth of the past events, that is, this plain note.

Fifty years of grievances and hatred, this moment finally has an ending.

Although the Tongtian Divine Dragon was in pain, it was also slowly relieved. If I had plucked up the courage to take her away, this would not have happened, and I would have no chance in this life but to reunite in the next life.

Qi Chu led everyone into the tomb, and he came to Tongtian Shenlong and said, "Senior, are you okay?"

Tongtian Shenlong was silent, and only handed over a plain note to Qi Chu. In the Xiangnan Hall, he told Qi Chu about his past, and the reason why he came to the imperial tomb was to see his beloved for the last time. Although he hasn't seen it now, he is much more relaxed after learning the truth of that year. Now there is only thought left in my heart.

Qi Chu looked at every word on the plain paper seriously, and it was inevitable to think back to the scene at that time. Lan Ting pulled Yang Yixiao over to take a peek, Yang Yixiao had heard Wen Tianheng say that he and Tongtian Shenlong liked a woman at the same time, and it seemed that she was the concubine mentioned on the note.

So, Yang Yixiao carefully remembered from beginning to end, and when he went out from here and met the senior of the Crazy Sword Demon Venerable, he must tell him about it.

Everyone saw that Tongtian Shenlong was not in a good condition, so they didn't rush to hurry. The thrill just now made them physically tired, so they sat down to rest for a while.

Although Lan Ting lost the Night Pearl, the treasures in this tomb are much more valuable than those Night Pearls. He was not tired, so he went to the corner and tinkered, flipped left and right, and carried everything he thought was valuable into his arms.

In this imperial mausoleum, everyone didn't have much energy to care about him, so they let Lan Ting go.

Lan Ting is happy, it is not important for him to grab the Yellow River Diagram at all, after all, his martial arts are not high, and it is useless to ask for the Yellow River Diagram, but these treasures are real.

Suddenly, he pulled out a brown cloth bag from the pile of treasures. The cloth bag was embroidered with quaint lines, and at first glance, he was a little dizzy, and he said: What is this?

Lan Ting originally wanted to greet Gongzi, but when he looked back, he didn't bother when he saw that Qi Chu was comforting Tongtian Shenlong. He carefully picked up the cloth bag and looked up and down for a while, and found that there was no mechanism inside. Only then did he open the cloth bag, put his hand in, felt something cold and hurriedly retracted his hand. I thought to myself, this is in the tomb of the dead, this cloth bag is so tightly hidden, what is in it?

When I turned my head and thought about it, these four times were all treasures, and it was estimated that the contents of the cloth bag must also be treasures. He reached in again, felt for a handle, and then grabbed it and pulled it out.

It turned out to be a broken knife!

Lan Ting was disappointed, and thought it was some kind of treasure. A knife can be worth a few dollars, let alone a broken knife? Unwillingly, he shook the bottom of the cloth bag downward, and this time a book fell out.

"Huh?" Lan Ting just wanted to speak out and held back, maybe it was some kind of cheat. Secretly opened the book and found that it was not a cheatbook at all, it was a picture book.

Lan Ting was unlucky, how could such a large number of treasures have such a broken knife and broken book? Suddenly he thought that something was wrong, if this broken knife was not a treasure, how could it be in the emperor's mausoleum?

So I looked through the picture books and found that these pictures were connected to tell a story. But there was no text explanation on the painting, and he couldn't figure it out for a while. Until I turned to the last page, I found a poem written "There is a dagger in the Xunjiang River, and I don't know how to be lovesick." ”

Isn't that on me?

Lan Ting took out the Xunjiang dagger from his arms, this was the first time he looked at this artifact carefully, and found that the dagger was engraved with the word "Acacia", and then turned his head to look at the poem in the picture book.

Could it be that this picture has something to do with the Xunjiang Dagger?
