Qian Su watched these people walking step by step along the route set by this woman, feeling deeply sad and funny at the same time.
"I'm leaving, I should leave something for him!"
The Empress Dowager smiled softly, then walked towards Prince Rui.
"I am your concubine mother!"
Prince Rui was still in a daze, but when he heard her say that suddenly, he directly raised his head and looked at her dumbfounded.
"Then, Prince Yi..."
Everyone knows that the Empress Dowager only gave birth to one son in her life, and that was King Yi.
"The two of you have been exchanged by Ben Gong since you were young, and you have suffered all these years!"
The stone platform was stained with blood, but the Empress Dowager recognized her relatives.
For Prince Rui, this was like a bolt from the blue.
Fear is everywhere.
Every time the Empress Dowager said a word, he took a step back in horror.
Once the crown prince of the empire is confirmed, the remaining princes will be crowned kings and sent to fiefdoms, and they will not be allowed to enter the palace without an edict in this life.
Its fief is not allowed to raise private soldiers.
Once discovered, they will be directly demoted to common people.
It is very strict, so there are very few things like treason by the vassal king, not to mention that the emperor will send secret guards to patrol everywhere.
Although Prince Rui was a bit cautious, he never thought about the throne.
At best, he could not understand Emperor Renxiao's protection of the Ninth Prince.
But now that empress dowager, who is high above her, stood up and told him when he was getting older.
He would later become the monarch of the empire.
This is so ridiculous, I can't believe it.
"The emperor..."
Prince Rui pointed to the imperial tomb and asked tremblingly.
"He should have died long ago!"
"But… "
"You are the son of this palace, you inherit the throne, and your name is justified, what are you afraid of?"
The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, she really did not expect Prince Rui to be so courageous.
After everyone entered the imperial mausoleum, the big rock suddenly broke down, blocking everyone's escape route, and everyone was dumbfounded.
"What's going on?"
The crowd dispersed and began to search for the mechanism. Naturally, there were also people from the empire who came in. However, they had no chance to enter the imperial tomb, let alone know how to open the mechanism here.
"It's over, we're going to be trapped here!"
"It must have been done by that old woman, Yunying!"
At this moment, they say they still don't understand who designed all this, then they will live in vain.
"Let us out."
"Let us go out quickly, do you know who we represent? Do you want to be an enemy of the world?"
Everyone was terrified, and regardless of whether their voices could be heard outside, they all shouted heartily and slapped the stone wall next to them.
"Where is the Ninth Prince?"
Someone reacted.
"Yes, people from their empire have also come in, I don't believe there is no way out, go find them!"
Right now, there is no need for anyone to direct or take the lead. Everyone consciously dispersed, and started looking for the Ninth Prince and others along the passage here.
After all, they had to get out alive first.
However, what they don't know is that what awaits them will be boundless fear.
Xiao Ting has been closely following the Ninth Prince, and was brought in by him.
At this moment, the two came to a familiar place.
"Hey, isn't this your coffin?"
Xiao Ting came here a few years ago and saw the sarcophagus of her and the Ninth Prince.
"I also put a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in it as a funeral. Let me see if it's still there?"
If the road inside is not led by someone, it will go astray, it will be a disaster, Xiao Ting already knew it.
The Ninth Prince looked carefully at the surrounding situation, as if it was his first time here.
"They're all here. It seems that the people here are very loyal!" If he wanted him, he would have sold them all and exchanged them for money to go home and live.
"What are you looking at?"
Xiao Ting felt that there was something wrong with the Ninth Prince's eyes, so she asked him curiously, while putting these gold and silver jewels into her bosom.
“It's my first time here…”
Ninth Prince walked around.
Xiao Ting,...
Do you want to be so funny
Didn't he prepare this sarcophagus himself
"What are you doing with these?"
The Ninth Prince looked around and lost interest. Seeing that Xiao Qing was carrying things in his arms, he frowned and asked her.
"Of course I was fleeing for my life, otherwise I would have been picked up by someone else if I stayed here. I am thankful for that. I let it in at the beginning!"
Fortunately, she thought that she would be buried here with the Ninth Prince in the future, and she had prepared funeral objects in advance, so it was useless now.
"..."
Ninth Prince really didn't know what to say.
"Okay, what should we do now?"
The Ninth Prince pursed his lips and whispered, "You have to find Brother Huang first, and only after you find him will you know where the secret passage in the Imperial Tomb is!"
"Maybe the emperor is dead, that old woman is cruel, since she decided to seek power and usurp the throne, how can she keep the emperor?"
Although Xiao Ting doesn't understand those intrigues, she still understands this point of common sense. The Empress Dowager has done so much, and it is obvious now that it is for the throne.
It's not out of my mind to keep the first emperor, the benevolent and filial emperor.
"He is also very human!" After a while, the Ninth Prince said such a sentence.
It's just that the title of Emperor Renxiao has also been changed.
Xiao Ting didn't care.
"Okay, let's look for it again!"
"who?"
Xiao Ting clapped her hands and got up when she felt that there was no room for those gold and silver jewelry on her body.
At this moment, the Ninth Prince's indifferent voice sounded, and he looked towards where he came from.
"A Li, it's me!"
It was Yuchi Xinhan, Li Mo and a group of hidden guards who came.
It was Yuchi who answered with chills.
He was afraid that if he spoke out late, he would become a corpse.
"Oh, you guys run fast!"
I was very happy to see my acquaintance Xiao Ting, and she stepped forward to say hello.
"My subordinates see the prince and princess!"
It can be said that Yuchi Xinhan and the Ninth Prince grew up together, and they have always been very casual, but Li Mo has always been very rigid, strict in rules and etiquette, and this moment is no exception.
"Aren't you in Licheng? Why did you come back?"
"If you go back to the princess, my subordinates are worried about that Qianbai, for fear that he will hurt you."
"How is it possible? Is this concubine so weak?"
Seeing that they were safe and sound, everyone was very happy, especially Yuchi, who was heartbroken and watched the excitement from the sidelines.
"Princess, Li Mo is afraid that you will be cheated by that man!"
Xiao Ting, "..."
Li Mo, "..."
Everyone else lowered their heads.
If it wasn't for the inopportune moment, they would all have left. Seeing the master's joke, wouldn't that be courting death
"Hey, you traitor, do you still have your share here?"
Xiao Ting has always been aware of the relationship between Yuchi Xinhan and the Ninth Prince, and she has told Yuchi Xinhan many things, and she has never doubted him.
So when Li Mo told him that Yuchi Xinhan had betrayed them, Xiao Ting didn't believe it. Seeing him appearing with Li Mo now also proved his guess, but there was nothing good to say.
"alright!"
As soon as the Ninth Prince spoke, the audience fell silent.
"Do you know where the emperor's stone palace is?"
Yuchi Xinhan and Li Mo had come in when it was first arranged, so they knew it well.
Now take them there.
The paths they take are never straight.
Wherever they passed along the way, they could hear screams and exclamations from the stone walls from time to time, and they didn't know what happened to those people.
Xiao Ting didn't feel anything when it stopped in her ears.
Yuchi shook his head in frustration.
"These people are really looking for death, and they don't even look at this place!"
Li Mo is naturally not so unruly in normal times, and he is a little depressed now.
"Not everyone can break into the imperial tomb of my empire!"
The others didn't say a word, they followed closely around them, their eyes were sharp, and they glanced around.
"What will happen if I break into the mechanism here by mistake?"
She came here once before, when someone showed her the way.
So I don't know how powerful it is.
"Princess, don't talk nonsense, this is the imperial tomb, the most important thing in the empire!"
So is it good to guard
Seeing that Xiao Ting was very curious and the Ninth Prince had no intention of opening his mouth, Yuchi had no choice but to explain himself.
"Let's put it this way, if they don't know the real way, then these people will all die!"
"I'm going, so ruthless?" All wiped out!
Xiao Ting finally understands what is the most important thing.
With Yuchi Xinhan leading the way, they soon reached their destination.
It's a pity that they didn't see Emperor Renxiao.
No one was alive, no dead body was seen, and there were only bloodstains on the ground.
But enough to make everyone feel bad.
"Mobilize all the people to search for it as much as possible, even turning over the entire imperial mausoleum!"
After the Ninth Prince issued such an order, Li Mo immediately sent people to search for it.
They immediately found the imperial guards guarding the imperial mausoleum.
The people here generally don't care about what happens outside. They only show up when there is a problem in the area they are responsible for in the imperial mausoleum.
Li Mo can naturally mobilize these people.
Xiao Ting was bored staying here, she wanted to go out for a walk, but the Ninth Prince refused to let her, so she had to sit beside her and circle around in a boring way.
He fiddled with the sarcophagus from time to time to see what was inside, but found that everything here seemed to be the same, only the stone carvings were a little different.
Ninth Prince and Yuchi felt chilled, and sat together to discuss countermeasures.
"If you find the emperor, you can leave!"
Yuchi persuaded him bitterly, but neither of them explained the matter thoroughly.
Ninth Prince shook his head.
"Ah Li, we know it well, why are you still so stubborn?"
"Don't worry, I know what's going on!"
The Ninth Prince only gave him an ambiguous answer without elaborating.
"What on earth are you thinking? You shouldn't have come this time!"
"I always have to see him return to the palace safe and sound, so I can rest assured!"
Saying this, the Ninth Prince was a little helpless.
"In that case, why did you do it in the first place?"
In fact, Yuchi felt chilly and didn't want the emperor to turn against the Ninth Prince at all.
But now that the world is about to go, and the Ninth Prince is in the midst of the storm, it is the wisest choice for Emperor Renxiao to keep a distance from him.
It happened at this time to let the emperor know what the Ninth Prince had done before.
It also gave him a reason.
"At the beginning? It seems that you all know everything!"
