The emperor's favorite useless concubine

Chapter 64
The last words he has always respected as a heavenly book, the epitaph that Mrs. Xi carved for herself, turned out to be such a child's play?

"Of course, it can also be understood as survival or destruction, yes or no, all in all, it is a question." Yi Ren continued to explain kindly: "Madam Xi's confusion."

Master Wu still looked dazed, as if he couldn't believe it.

Yi Ren had already looked away, looking at the bottom of the Gobi, a stone gate that only allows one person to pass through.

There is a lock on the stone door.

A strange lock with several Arabic numerals on the crystal template.

"What kind of symbol is that?" Master Wu collected his attention, pointed to the number on the lock, and continued to ask.

"Numbers." Yi Ren answered naturally, "One, two, three, four, five."

"One, two, three, four, and five are written like this!" Master Wu was startled, "Is this also the language of your hometown?"

"En." Yi Ren nodded uncertainly, then reached out and touched the screen.

The long-lost metal texture comes from the fingertips, familiar and cool.

"Yiren!" Seeing her acting recklessly, Pei Ruochen couldn't help worrying, ran over and grabbed her arm.

Yi Ren turned his head and saw Pei Ruochen, just smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits, revealing two rows of sparkling teeth, "It's okay, don't worry, this is a combination lock, it's not something strange."

Pei Ruochen smirked slightly: She looks cheerful at the moment, she doesn't look like she was kidnapped at all.

"You know this lock, that is to say, you can open it?" Master Wu couldn't care less about other things, he was excited when he heard that Yi Ren could open it.

Yi Ren also looked at him with a smile, and then replied quite naturally: "Of course I can't open it, and I don't know the password."

Master Wu fainted again, he wanted to hit someone.

"Let's see if there are any reminders next to it." Seeing that Master Wu looked different, Pei Ruochen quickly changed the subject
Yi Ren turned his gaze, and soon saw a line of dark red characters next to it.

I don't know what kind of paint was used to write it, the pen is swaying, and the thick dark red flows down, which is shocking like years of blood, very scary.

Eight big characters, hearty and dripping.

"Those who enter this door will die with me."

Such a threat, written by Madam Xi, who was once unparalleled in the world, has a deterrent force that sends chills down the spine.

"How did Lord Wu find out about this cemetery?" Pei Ruochen asked calmly after examining these eight characters for a long time.

Master Wu snorted coldly, he didn't want to talk to him at first, but after thinking about it, now he is in the same boat, so it's okay to say it.

"The old man has devoted himself to practicing in the tunnel for more than ten years. After he came out, he searched for Madam's trace. Finally, the emperor paid off. In one of Madam Xi's other courtyards, the old man found a map recording this cemetery."

"Are there any other hints on the map?" Pei Ruochen asked again.

"No more." Master Wu shook his head decisively, but his expression was already unnatural, obviously hiding something.

Pei Ruochen didn't ask any further questions, but continued, "What's so special about that other courtyard?"

"There's nothing special about it, it's just that Madam and Emperor Wushuang lived there for a while..." Master Wu suddenly stopped his voice, turned to glaring at Pei Ruochen, and said angrily, "Why should I tell you!"

"Because I want to go in too." Pei Ruochen replied lightly.

"Why, aren't you afraid that I'll kill you as soon as we enter?" Master Wu asked.

Pei Ruochen smiled, and said leisurely, "Life is a matter of life and death. I just want to find out what kind of person Mrs. Xi is."

I also want to find out what kind of person my father is.

Master Wu had nothing to say. There are many people who are curious about Mrs. Xi, not to mention the legendary picture of Supreme Being in the cemetery. It is only natural that Pei Ruochen would be interested.

"Master Wu, where did Helan Wushuang and Mrs. Xi live together in another courtyard?" While the two were talking, Yi Ren asked abruptly.

"Living together?" Master Wu was stunned for a moment, and said, "I lived together..."

"How was their relationship when they lived together?" Yi Ren asked again with a serious expression.

Although Lord Wu didn't want to answer such a private question, seeing Yi Ren's expression, he couldn't help but reply: "At that time, Madam and Emperor Wushuang had a very good relationship, and the two were inseparable. Heroes—bah, that Helan Wushuang deceived Madam so badly!" At the last sentence, Master Wu seemed to suddenly think of something, his tone changed drastically, and he said bitterly.

Yi Ren already understood.

"What is the date of their engagement?" She rubbed her fingers on the metal mirror and asked lightly.

"What promise, there is no love between them at all! Helan Wushuang is just using his wife! There is no good person in Helan's family! They are all sinister and cunning!" Master Wu was still filled with righteous indignation and refused to answer.

"It's the sixteenth day of Dongyue." Pei Ruochen replied plainly from behind, "The date of the engagement between Emperor Wushuang and his wife is the sixteenth day of Dongyue."

Yi Ren turned his head and looked at him curiously.

Pei Ruochen explained spontaneously: "I once saw a painting of Emperor Wushuang in the Treasure Pavilion of the Inner Palace. Although it was a simple painting of plum blossoms, but after careful observation, it can be seen that the painting was made by two people. In other words, it was done by two people together, one of them has thinner strokes, it should be a woman, while Wushuangdi's painting style is more upright."

"You mean, that painting is the joint work of Helan Wushuang and his wife?" Master Wu asked.

"Yes." Pei Ruochen replied confidently: "If you can't be sure based on the style of the painting, the inscription below is very obvious. It says, on the sixteenth day of the winter month in the Weiji year, the plums are noble and pure, widowed and lonely, who will die together , the same life and the same interest."

"What do you mean?" Master Wu is a martial artist and knows little about poetry.

Those few short sentences made him confused.

"The meaning above is that Emperor Wushuang feels lonely at a high place, and the only person who can reconcile with him is Mrs. Xi. His affection for Mrs. Xi has reached the point where he can die together with him." Pei Ruochen simply said. Confidently explained, "The word "Xi" in it was originally a double meaning."

"Wei Ji Nian is indeed the time when Madam lived in another courtyard." Master Wu murmured thoughtfully.

While they were saying these words, Yi Ren had already walked to the electronic lock, staring at the two numbers 1 and 6.

"Yi Ren." Sensing Yi Ren's intentions, Pei Ruochen stopped him: "Even if you know the password, don't take it lightly. Mrs. Xi's curse is definitely not empty words."

The blood-like words "whoever enters this sect will die with me" still left them with lingering fears.

Unexpectedly, instead of being frightened, Yi Ren sighed with compassion, "That sentence was not written to the tomb robbers, but... to Helan Wushuang."

Master Wu and Pei Ruochen were stunned at the same time.

That year, he promised her that he would live the same life together, she always remembered.

Even if the country changed hands later, and she turned the world upside down by waving her sleeves, even if she married into the Liu family and became a wife and mother, she would always remember his promise.

Those who enter this gate will die with me,

This is not intimidation, but provocation. The proud woman raised her chin lightly, looked at her former lover coldly, and said lightly, "Do you dare?"

The Gobi is rugged, the gate is tightly closed, and there are layers of dust on it.It has been waiting here for more than ten years, but it has never found the person she expected.

And Emperor Wushuang had long since died.

"If you die, but want someone you loved to die with you, is such a relationship really love?" Pei Ruochen was silent for a long time, then asked softly.

He also didn't know who he was asking.

"Helan Wushuang deserves to die!" Master Wu added without knowing why, he didn't understand, he was just complaining for his wife.

Yi Ren was surprisingly pensive.

Then, she turned around, faced Pei Ruochen, and said calmly, "I won't let you die."

The tone is flat, the eyebrows are flat, and even the mood is flat.

However, Pei Ruochen felt as if struck by lightning at that moment, his heart sank suddenly, and it hurt so badly.

Master Wu's eyes lingered on the two of them for a while, and then urged in a vicious voice: "What are you still talking about here, open the door quickly!"

Yi Ren stretched out his fingers and pressed the four keys of 1116.

When she withdrew her fingers, a series of slight clicking sounds came from the cemetery, like a wooden door that had been damaged for a long time, calling out.

Master Wu's face was filled with joy, as if he was about to rush in at any moment.

But that small stone door was still untouched.

It was getting late.

The clicking sound in the cemetery grew louder.

On the other side of the Gobi Rock, a team is quietly approaching.

The leader was wearing a hood, with a tall and straight figure, and his manner was sharp and vigorous. Behind him were two people escorting a woman dressed as a village woman, also wearing a hood.

There was a wind blowing, and the brim of the woman's hat was blown away, and sand poured into her eyes. The woman let out a soft cry, and the leading man turned his head and glanced at her.

The woman's face is very beautiful, with a touch of nobility in her beauty, but she is He Lanyou who has just married Pei Ruochen for the first time.

As for why she appeared here, it is unknown.

As for the man in front, when he looked back, his eyes were deep and domineering. He Lanyou was startled by his gaze, and then jumped wildly, his cheeks became hot.

Previously in the deep palace, he did not know that Yan Han, the new emperor of Yan Kingdom, was so heroic and oppressive.

This made He Lanyou, who was used to being handsome and gentle, feel uneasy and fresh.

And the man who made her feel at a loss was Yan Han.

Yan Han and his group of ten people have slowly approached the towering Gobi Rock from behind.

On the front of the big stone, Yi Ren's finger barely moved away from the screen.

The clicking sound continued.

"What's the matter with the lord?" Yi Jian anxiously asked Feng Jiu in front of a temporary building not far from Yuyuerhai.

Feng Jiuwu sat by himself, drinking tea lightly, seeing that Yi Jianwen was in a hurry, Fang replied with a calm gaze, "You deserve it."

For this to happen, He Lanxue deserved it.

"Mr. Feng!" Yi Jian urged again angrily.

"Don't ask me, you can ask the lord if he really wants to live." Feng Jiu brushed off his clothes and stood up, turning her indifferent eyes to the direction of Xingyuan leisurely. Pei Linpu went to some cemetery together to join in the fun, he is looking for death like this, who can save him?"

"The prince just can't leave the princess alone." Yi Jian held his breath and defended himself as the prince.

In fact, he was also very angry, but he never questioned his master's right or wrong.

"That's his choice, it's none of my business. If he can come out alive this time, let him go to Luofeng Manor to find me. If he can't come back, it's our fate. It's a pity that a master-servant fight gone."

After Feng Jiu finished speaking, she really stood up like this, without any dust, and walked gracefully.

As if just after visiting a friend, seeing that it was already late, I walked home slowly in the afterglow.

Yi Jian stared dumbfounded at Feng Jiu's turn and left. When Mr. Feng's back gradually disappeared into the vast wind and sand in the distance, he turned his head and saw his lord unexpectedly: Under the tent, his face was pale due to the recent massive blood loss, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips, deep and invisible.
