Chapter 5: The Underground Palace

Chapter 5: The Underground Palace
Liu Yu looked at Tan Daoji, who was half kneeling on the ground, silent for a while, finally nodded, and leaned over to help him up, "Seriously injuring several courtiers, capital punishment is inevitable. But there are many kinds of death, as long as no one sees her again, Even if she dies, the courtiers will turn a blind eye to it. With such an arrangement, I don't know what Brother Tan wants?"

Tan Daoji was taken aback, Liu Yu was asking him to hide his daughter, never to come out again.But this... He struggled for a while, and finally nodded helplessly.

After Tan Daoji left, Liu Yu immediately called his confidants to ask, "Have you found out the identity of Mr. Tan's teacher?"

The confidant shook his head, "This subordinate is incompetent, I really can't find it. I only know that it is an old man in ragged clothes. And the subordinate found that it is not only us who are investigating the old man, but also the various sects on Songshan Mountain, Xuanmen, and Tianshi Dao. They're all after him."

Liu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that this person must be a great master. The girl from the Tan family probably got his true inheritance, but she can't control it."

The confidant felt the same, so he asked, "I heard from the adults, that girl's kung fu is very weird. I'm afraid it will cause serious trouble if I keep it. How about..."

Liu Yu thought for a while and shook his head and said, "The girl can still control it now. If she can hand over this exercise to me in the future, it will be even more powerful. It is no problem to unify the Central Plains." He told his confidant, " Let Tan Mansion's spies keep a close eye on the child and report back in time, there must be no mistakes."

My confidant quickly responded, "Here."

After leaving Liu Yu's Zhongshu Mansion, Tan Daoji returned home distraught.He hesitated for a long time, and finally called Uncle Tian, ​​the old housekeeper of the mansion.This butler was a refugee rescued by Tan Daoji when he attacked Pinlu Mountain in his early years.Uncle Tian was grateful for the picture, so he entered the Tan Mansion as a housekeeper.In terms of sincerity towards Tan Daoji, no one in the mansion can match him.

Tan Daoji took a deep breath and ordered, "Three days later, we will send a funeral for the girl."

Uncle Tian was taken aback when he heard the words, and said in a panic, "The girl is doing well, why is there a funeral? It's unlucky! It's unlucky!"

Tan Daoji didn't explain much, he just said, "After three days, the girl will die from an evil spirit. No one can know about this, including Madam."

Uncle Tian was puzzled and wanted to ask again, but Tan Daoji had already turned his back.I had no choice but to keep silent and exit the door.

Three days later, a heart-wrenching cry came from Mrs. Tan's room.She stumbled out of the room and ran to her daughter's wing.

When the door was pushed open, Mrs. Tan seemed to have exhausted all her strength and was unable to take another step forward.When she walked into the room tremblingly, the little person lying on the bed, she was only three years old... How could the heavens have the heart to let her die so early!
Even in the undercurrent of seeking to usurp the throne, everyone is a pawn to be used, but what a child!Her footsteps seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and she walked to her daughter's bed. Tears had already filled her face. She opened her mouth, her heart ached so much that she couldn't make a sound!It was as if his chest had been emptied, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out!People also paralyzed down.

After a long time, the servants heard Madam's mournful cry in the courtyard, "Yu'er—mother's Yu'er—"

Everyone in the Tan mansion is wearing white clothes, today is the fifth day of the first seven days.Those who should come to worship have already come.The hustle and bustle of people in Tan Mansion in the past few days is overshadowed by today's mourning.

The girl has always been the happy fruit of the mansion, although every time she and the master quarrel with each other, it makes people feel frightened, but the child is innocent and clever, and everyone in the mansion loves her very much.Now, it went so unclearly.

Tan invited Yu to die early, and Mrs. Tan did not drink a drop of water for three consecutive days.If Tan Daoji hadn't come back the day before yesterday and forced her to eat some rice porridge, she might have decided to go with her daughter.

Today when Tan Daoji came back from court, he saw all the servants standing outside his wife's door, so he knew that she must be refusing to eat again today.He shook his head, stepped forward to dismiss the servants, and walked into the room alone.

"If you just die like this, do you really think Yu'er will be happy?"

Because Mrs. Tan hadn't eaten for a long time, she was weak when she spoke, but she still sat upright and said, "My daughter died for no reason, but you still can't let go of your high-ranking official and rich salary. You know it every day, and the rain is like a spring. Will you be happy?"

Tan Daoji said in a deep voice, "It's not that you don't know the current situation in the court. If I make a mistake, the whole Tan Mansion will not be able to live well."

Mrs. Tan was obviously agitated, her pale fingers tightly pinched her palms, her eyes were red with circles and she said, "My daughter is gone, so why would I care about other things!"

Tan Daoji looked at her in surprise, although he knew that what she said was angry, but his wife, who was usually cautious in words and deeds, would be so indifferent today, which unavoidably surprised Tan Daoji.He originally wanted to tell the whole story about his daughter's fraudulent death, but seeing his wife was so excited at this moment, it was hard to guarantee that she would take care of her daughter after knowing the truth.There are many people in the mansion, once someone sees the problem, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Tan Daoji sighed, and finally said, "If you want to see the person who killed your daughter subdue the law with your own eyes, live well. Don't say anything else and ignore it. The daughter is gone, and you still have our son to take care of." walk away.

In the afternoon of that day, the eldest son Tan Zhi, the second son Tan Can, and the third son Tan Hun knelt outside Mrs. Tan's door, asking her to eat.Mrs. Tan looked at her two biological sons, the eldest was only twelve years old, and the youngest was only ten years old.How could she have the heart to abandon them and go west with her daughter.But her daughter, her most beloved daughter...

"Yu'er—how do you have the heart to leave mother behind!" Madam Tan cried bitterly while holding her daughter's jacket until she passed out.

At this time, Yao Yu felt that the figure in front of her was shaking. She remembered that her father came to feed her medicine, and then she fell asleep. How did she hear her mother crying?
Did I do something wrong again?She fell into darkness as she thought about it.

When she woke up again, her eyes were still dark, she raised her hand with difficulty and rubbed her eyes.He could vaguely see his hands moving.

"Girl? Are you awake?"

Xiao Yaoyu turned her face away, who is it?The voice in her ears sounded muffled, and she could only vaguely see a small figure and a faint light walking towards her.

Ah - it's Zimo.

After Xiao Zhaoyu woke up, Zimo told her the ins and outs.Only by feigning death can she escape the pursuit of the court.But...she will live forever in the underground mansion secretly built by Tan Mansion.

At this time, although Zimo and Uncle Tian tried their best to comfort her, Yaoyu was still young after all, so she didn't know how to make ends meet. She only thought that she would never see her parents again, so she cried into tears.

"I don't care! I don't want to live here! I want mother! Uncle Tian, ​​ask mother to save me!"

Uncle Tian called anxiously and distressedly, "Shut up, girl, don't let anyone hear you! This underground palace was built by the master when the mansion was first built, just in case, just in case. Although I was wronged It’s better to be a girl than to die! Girl, don’t cry, and Uncle Tian will get you your favorite snack later!”

"I don't want dim sum! I want my mother! I want to find my mother! Why isn't my mother here?" Xiao Zhaoyu insisted, covering her ears and not listening to Uncle Tian.

Uncle Tian looked at the girl pitifully and said, "The master was afraid that Madam would lose her composure, so she never told Madam about the girl's fraudulent death. Now Madam is probably guarding the spirit of the girl..."

Xiao Zhaoyu didn't know what a spirit guard was, so she just kept crying, "Mother! Come and save Yu'er! Mother! Mother!" She said and jumped out of bed, slapping the walls of the underground palace, trying to find the exit.

He was suddenly pulled back, and then his face was slapped severely.Yao Yu covered her face and looked at Zimo blankly.

Uncle Tian was taken aback, and roared in a low voice, "Presumptuous! You little sword boy, how dare you do anything to a girl!"

Zimo didn't make any excuses, he just stared at Yaoyu.

Xiao Yaoyu stayed there after being beaten by him, and forgot to cry.

Seeing that she stopped crying, Zimo asked coldly, "Do you want to die?"

Xiao Yaoyu shook his head blankly.

"Then live here honestly. I believe the general will always rescue you."

When Xiao Yaoyu heard this, her nose became sore, "But it's so dark here, Yu'er is afraid..."

Zimo breathed a sigh of relief, took Yao Yu's hand, and said firmly, "I will stay with you until the general rescues you."

As if taking a reassurance, Xiao Zhaoyu nodded, "Yes. Daddy will save me. One day, he will save me."

At this moment, Uncle Tian felt relieved. He glanced at Zimo, and brought him into the underground palace at first because he was the only one who could calm the girl down when her internal energy was frantic.Now it seems that although this child is still young, he can still take on great responsibilities.

Uncle Tian gave a few more instructions before leaving.
