"Hey, you guys also know this concubine?" Xiao Ting wondered, is she so famous
"The princess is famous in the imperial city, I don't know why, please!"
The two old men didn't know what they meant when they said such a meaningful sentence.
Xiao Ting didn't know the identities of these two people, but Chu Yun treated them with special respect.
They didn't visit other cemeteries along the way, but went straight to the stone room where the emperor built the tomb for the Nine Princes' Mansion
What made Xiao Ting depressed was that there was nothing else inside except two sarcophagi.
Although the coffin was bigger and had several layers, it was of no use.
"Is this called the Imperial Tomb?" Xiao Ting was dumbfounded, and then looked at Chu Yun.
Chu Yun snorted coldly, "Where is your mausoleum?"
Xiao Ting muttered to herself, "Why did you see that in the ancient tomb they dug up, there were all kinds of burials, a bunch of antiques, and they were not in one place. The main tomb is even more magnificent, with various organs, and many cemeteries for funerary objects. Just like this, it is true and false. Why are these things not used here?"
The stone chamber was very large, with pits and hollows on the stone walls, and no final treatment was done. There were only two sarcophagi with the lids set aside, and a stone tablet in front of which the names of the Nine Princes and Chu Yun were engraved.
Nothing else!
Xiao Ting lost interest in an instant, what kind of broken imperial mausoleum is this
She came to witness a miracle, so she just saw these few things, and originally said that if she really came across something good, she would slip away one, but now it's all right, the one she brought in became the only treasure.
Xiao Ting dawdled here for a while, gnashing her teeth and trying to fish out some oil and water, but there was not even a hair, so she could only let people dump the two boxes of treasures she brought in into the two sarcophagi.
"This concubine is so kind that she even has to worry about the funeral objects." Miss Xiao Liu was moved by herself.
He didn't notice at all, Chu Shizi wished he could stare a few holes out of her body.
After doing all this, Xiao Ting completely lost interest and was about to turn around, but before they reached the exit of the underground palace, the two old men blocked their way again.
"Wangfei will stay here temporarily for a night. It's getting dark outside and it's not easy to travel."
Xiao Ting didn't believe that this place was so boring, then she rolled her eyes and asked: "Then can I go to other places to see?"
Xiao Ting couldn't believe it anymore, could it be that the imperial mausoleum really looked like this.
"It's okay to watch, but the princess can't move around, just follow the old slave."
"Yes!" Xiao Ting agreed, and then asked the two little ones if they want to go to rest? After all, the energy of adults is different from that of children.
But Xiao Xin and Chu Yun didn't say anything and would not leave her. Xiao Xin liked to follow her, while Chu Yun wanted to watch her, lest she get into trouble and ruin the reputation of the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Xiao Ting was speechless, she cared as long as she cared, and it didn't matter, what this child said was so unpleasant, it was really boring.
The entire underground palace is buried in the mountains, and the road is intricate. If there is no one to guide you, you will really get lost in it.
Xiao Ting felt speechless. In such a big place, she didn't see many people along the way, not even a lamp holder.
So she tried to ask the two old men.
"Are there no priorities for the tombs here?"
"Primary and secondary, no?" The two old men basically didn't talk nonsense.
"Then don't they put funeral objects after death?" This is what Xiao Ting cares most about.
The old man looked at Xiao Ting suspiciously, "The empire doesn't like this."
It was that rigid answer again.
Xiao Ting completely gave up now, and why is there no one stealing the imperial tomb, there is not even a single valuable thing in it, how could any thief come, and she is afraid of being starved to death
In this way, there are three steps, one post and five steps and one sentry outside, just to look at this pile of broken stones, and the bones that don't know if they have survived for many years.
"My concubine is tired and needs to rest."
The expectation of the Imperial Mausoleum was finally shattered, Xiao Ting lost interest in an instant, and wanted to leave here early.
In the underground palace there is no day and night, no distinction between sun, moon and stars, and I don't know how long it has passed, Xiao Ting was awakened by Hong Shao's scream.
At the same time, everyone opened their eyes, they were here just to make do for one night, so everyone lived together, Chu Yun and Xiao Xin rubbed their dazed eyes, staring dazedly, a little foolishly, while Lu Huai was already standing at the door, closing the stone door tightly and came over to reply, "Something happened to Wangfei Red Spoon."
"What's going on?" Xiao Ting shook her head to wake herself up.
"It seems that someone is fighting. Hong Shao went to the toilet to meet those people."
"This careless girl knows nothing and runs around."
Xiao Ting lifted the brocade quilt, got off the stone bed, and ordered, "You take care of the two little ones, the stone door is closed tightly, you are not allowed to go out, my concubine goes and have a look."
"Wangfei, Wangfei, don't go, the guards of the underground palace will take care of it."
Green Grass persuaded, how can a master take risks in place of others.
No matter how much she cared about her sisters, she couldn't let the princess go into danger easily.
Xiao Ting shook off her hand and said, "How can I do that? If something happens to the red spoon, who will cry for me after my concubine dies."
Well, Miss Xiao Liu has one thing in mind right now, the purpose of the red spoon.
While the green herb was worried, she also couldn't laugh or cry.
At this moment, Chu Yun said, "There are so many experts here, no one can easily take away anything, including people, and you will only add to the chaos if you go out."
She was very organized, blinking her black and white eyes, and snorted coldly.
Looking back, Xiao Ting has gradually figured out Chu Yun's temperament. This child is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, "Oh, cutie, can I understand that you are caring about your mother?"
Xiao Ting blinked at her, then pushed open the stone door, closed it with a bang, and walked out.
Chu Yun was not given a chance to answer.
The passage was dim, the previous torch had been extinguished, and there was a smell of fuel rushing into the air, which should have been extinguished during the fight. She followed the sound and walked forward.
But the voice got farther and farther away, and Xiao Ting was a little dumbfounded, "Uh, this is my girl, I got lost again."
She looked left and right, and found that everything was dark, so she just kept walking blindly.
He didn't even dare to look back, for fear of going in the wrong direction.
"Is there anyone?"
Her clear voice suddenly came out from the empty and silent cave, but she couldn't even hear the echo. Xiao Ting was really dumbfounded, "I'll go, what the hell is this place where cultivation is so deep, I'm going to die."
There was no echo, which meant that this passage was very long, so Xiao Ting decided to continue walking.
"No one, is there a ghost?"
It is said that the imperial mausoleum of the empire was built in the hinterland of the high mountains, and no one has ever been there, and no one knows what it is like inside.
Even Chu Yun only went to pay respects to the memorial tablet of the ancestors every time he came, and never really entered inside, because these places were closed to the public, and no one was allowed to enter, and the official statement was that they should not disturb the peaceful sleep of the ancestors.
Of course, this kind of statement is to deceive the public. In Xiao Ting's view, there must be something tricky in it.
But even if she is the enemy, there is nothing she can do if she can't get in, and this is really a godsend opportunity.
The fighting sound disappeared at some point, Xiao Ting walked forward in the dark, but she couldn't see anything. After walking for an unknown amount of time, her legs were a little weak. She was just about to sit down and rest, when suddenly her arms felt real in front of her.
She groped for a while, sure there was a door in front of her, she was very happy.
This might be the deepest part of the imperial mausoleum, and there might be some treasure or something.
There must be an agency in such an important place, so she should be careful.
Well, the most important thing right now is to get this broken door open first.
Reminiscent of the things she had seen in her previous life, Xiao Ting even planned to use her spells.
Unexpectedly, she just leaned forward lightly, and the door opened before she could push it.
And she didn't have any mental preparation at all, she did a lot of mental construction, it was useless, she threw herself forward, and fell to the ground.
In addition, when he tripped over the threshold under his feet, he fell firmly.
At the same time, the light in the stone room suddenly prevailed, "Ouch..."
She was still lying on the ground, and quickly covered her eyes. She was blind just now, but now she was almost shaken into a blind person.
"I'll go, what kind of ghost door is this? It's not even closed. My lady greets your ancestors. I fell to my death."
While cursing, Xiao Ting adjusted her eyes to the light and looked forward.
Just this one glance, but it almost didn't make her scream.
Directly in front of her, lay a dozen or so corpses in a haphazard manner.
The death was tragic, as if he had been hacked to death, his arms and legs were separated, it was very bloody.
And within three feet in front of her, there was a man staring at her.
His eyeballs were gouged out, the black holes were still bleeding, it was terrifying, his head was only half connected to his neck, and he was facing Xiao Ting like this.
As if looking at her.
Even Miss Xiao Liu, who had seen souls before, was truly shocked.
She scolded lightly in her heart, and immediately stood up.
Ignoring the pain in his body, he walked forward.
This is a palace, yes, it is a palace, divided into inner and outer halls, and through the light of the night pearl in the hall, you can see the scene inside.
There is a throne there, golden and shining.
And this is just the outer hall.
A small bridge of flowing water passed quietly without any waves, but there were several corpses floating in it, which was a little scary.
Xiao Ting stepped onto the flat bridge leading to the inner hall, the top was paved with warm jade, the bridge was several feet wide, very delicate.
Xiao Ting became more and more curious about the identity of this person.
The fight here happened not long ago, the blood of these people was still flowing, and the warm and filthy breath rushed into the nostrils, making Xiao Ting frown slightly.
At this moment, she was completely different from her usual self.
Lifting the crystal clear bead curtain, one step leads to the inner hall.
Not surprisingly, it was similar to the layout in the palace. Xiao Ting looked around and found that it was very feminine.
As if prepared for a certain woman.
She walked straight to the throne that attracted her attention the most.
Although Xiao Ting saw it for the first time, she still recognized it as a dragon chair at a glance.
That momentum and the engraving on it all illustrate this fact.
The furnishings here are very elegant, and Xiao Ting found that it was even bigger than her aunt's. This also confirmed her previous guess that the owner of this palace is a woman.
