Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 448 A Tomb
Under the twilight, the courtyard was dark and cold, no one lived in it for a long time, the courtyard was covered with withered grass, and the three main rooms were like black holes. When I saw this grave again, I thought it was a haunted house.

Hong Zhu first carried Liu Yunxiang on her back, and asked her to sit on the steps in front of the house.

"I'll go in and clean it first."

After talking about the red candle weaving in, Liu Yunxiang wrapped the cloak around her body, looked up and saw Chongming was still standing at the door, staring at the grave, his eyes were sinister, violent, and a little scared.

That's right, it was fear. His expression was tense, and he was holding on to the gate, motionless, as if he was facing not a grave but a life-threatening ghost from the underworld.

Liu Yunxiang was suddenly curious, who was buried in this grave, which could scare a murderous ghost.

The wind picked up again, whizzing past, and then it snowed.

The red candle lit the candle, and the light from the door illuminated the area in front of the door. Liu Yunxiang sat in the place where the light got, re-lit in the darkness.The snow seemed to be changing, too. When it fell on her side, it was pure white, but when it fell on Chongming, it was dark white.

The snow fell more and more heavily, and it took a long time before Chongming moved, walked into the courtyard step by step, walked to the grave, and then snorted.He was laughing at the people in the grave like a madman.

"Mother, I didn't expect that I'm alive to see you again."

Liu Yunxiang's heart trembled, this grave belonged to Chongming's mother?
Chongming's mother was the Liangdi of the former prince, who was framed by the current emperor for treason. The former emperor was furious and imprisoned all the masters of the East Palace.

The first prince and several ministers who had been friends with him on weekdays secretly sent the pregnant Concubine Liang to Zhenbei, asking General Yan to protect him.However, he was chased by soldiers on the way. When this Liang Di fled, she did not go to Zhenbei, but drifted outside the pass.

What happened after that, she didn't know, anyway, many years later, the child born to Emperor Liang first appeared as an orphan of the crown prince, and then returned to Zhenbei Pass, where the Marquis of Jing'an secretly protected him.

That's it.

Liu Yunxiang saw that Chongming bent down and pulled out the weeds from the grave one by one, and said to the grave while pulling out, "My son has been to Dayong, and the world has long forgotten my father. Of course, no one remembers you and me."

"When we were in the tribe, they called us foreigners, but when we returned to Dayong, I still looked like a different kind, and it seemed that we shouldn't go back at all."

"Actually, it doesn't matter. What I want, I will take it myself. It's not interesting to give it to others."

After the red candle had finished cleaning, she came out and carried Liu Yunxiang inside. After putting her on the warm bed, she went out to light the fire again, heating the bed warm.After a while, Liu Yunxiang finally warmed up.

Red Candle brought another bowl of hot soup and handed it to her.

Liu Yunxiang hated Hongzhu for helping the evildoers, but at least she let Zijin go and took care of herself these days, so compared to Chongming, she didn't hate Hongzhu so much.

"Is Chongming's mother in this grave?" she asked.

Red Candle sighed, "Yes."

"When did she die? Is she sick? How is she buried here?"

After asking three times in a row, Liu Yunxiang waited for Hong Zhu to answer, but she was silent for a while, but shook her head.

"In fact, I do not know."

"You do not know?"

"As for the master's past, he seems to be very taboo, and no one is allowed to ask about it. It was also when we came back from Dayong that year, when we passed through Fengdu, that the master brought me here to pay homage. That's why I knew that the master's mother was buried here."

What Chongming said in front of the grave made Liu Yunxiang vaguely guess that Chongming didn't have a good relationship with his mother, and even hated his mother.

Roads were blocked due to heavy snow, and the gates of the city were also closed. They had to wait until the new year was over and the weather was warmer before they could leave the border.

The next year is just around the corner, and other people's houses are decorated with lanterns and festoons for the New Year, and they are lively and lively, but they don't care about the New Year, and they can't be more lively, as usual.

But on the New Year's Eve, Chongming asked Hong Zhu to prepare some dishes and set up a table in the open room.

Liu Yunxiang naturally refused to eat at the same table with him, but he threatened him with an inkstone, so Liu Yunxiang could only sit down.The door of the room was opened, and the cold wind poured in. Sitting on the seat, one could see the grave outside at a glance.

Liu Yunxiang wrapped her cloak and snorted: "On New Year's Eve, relatives get together for a New Year's Eve dinner, so what are we?"

Chongming was in a very good mood, and he was not angry after hearing this, and poured her a glass of wine.

"Last year was quite lively, but we were in the cage. This year, everyone who was damned died, and those who were alive escaped from the cage. We should celebrate."

Liu Yunxiang directly picked up the glass of wine and poured it towards Chongming, right on his face.

"Damn you!"

Chongming laughed while wiping his face, "This sounds really familiar."

He looked at the grave in the courtyard, "My mother said that too."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "You..."

"I don't mind having an extra grave at home." Chongming squinted his eyes, and poured another glass for Liu Yunxiang, "My mother really needs a companion, after all, she died in a foreign country, and she might become a lonely ghost, forever begone. Trapped in this courtyard, she must be very lonely."

Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but shuddered when he heard these words, there was a courtyard surrounded by high walls, no one would ever know that she was here...

Liu Yunxiang subconsciously looked at the grave in the courtyard, and sure enough there was no tombstone.

Chongming was still smiling, but the coldness in his eyes was even worse, Liu Yunxiang had no intention of being unhappy, so he drank the wine in his hand, took a few bites, and asked Hongzhu to carry her back to the back room.

Lying on the Arhat bed by the window, Liu Yunxiang thought of Yan Mu, his heart was like a knife, and he thought of his son, worrying endlessly.

It's thirty years old, and the family should be reunited.

The next day, Liu Yunxiang got up.

Red Candle waited for her to freshen up, "Madam, I cooked porridge, please bring you a bowl."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, usually he could hear Chongming practicing sword in the courtyard when he woke up, but not today.

"Where's your master?" she asked.

Hong Zhu said: "Master has gone to the medicine shop."

Chongming had several small porcelain bottles on his body, and the bottles were filled with poisons. He killed many people along the way and used a lot of poisons. He probably bought medicinal materials and refined them.

He is very powerful in martial arts, but he will never use poison if he can.

Liu Yunxiang thought about it for a while, and said, "Hongzhu, I want to eat steamed stuffed buns, go to the street and buy some for me."

Hong Zhu was silent for a while, "Then you stay at home, I will be back soon."

Hong Zhu left after finishing speaking, but Liu Yunxiang was a little hesitant, she was indeed coaxing Hong Zhu, as soon as she went out, she escaped, but it was too easy to deceive.

Although Liu Yunxiang was suspicious, he hurriedly put on his cloak and dragged his legs to crawl outside.

For the convenience of transporting goods from south to north, they, Lingyun, set up an escort agency in Fengdu. She tried to use the escort agency to send a message to Wei Tian, ​​letting him know what happened, what kind of person Chongming was, and not to fall into his trap.

Liu Yunxiang climbed to the front of the courtyard with difficulty, pushed lightly, and pushed it away.Surprised and delighted, she hurriedly crawled out, but not far away, she saw someone standing in front of her, and she looked up to see that it was Chongming.

He was staring at her with dark eyes.
