The useless daughter-in-law is going to turn the world upside down

Chapter 464 Why Do I Smell the Stink of Corpse

Concubine Shu smiled softly: "I just know how to play, this is not good, you have to study and practice hard, don't be like your brother, you only know how to improve after suffering a big loss!"

The tenth prince nodded his head half-understood, and said in a childish voice: "Well, my son will, my son listens to my concubine the most."

"Little thing, the best at talking sweet words to make my concubine mother happy!" Concubine Shu smiled contentedly.

The tenth prince wrapped his short arms around Concubine Shu's neck, and kissed her "baji", which made Concubine Shu giggle.

Ladies and daughters, you go to the inner hall without saying a word.

As soon as he entered the palace and served the breakfast prepared for the ten princes, he saw the chief eunuch in the palace poking his head at the door with a serious expression on his face.

Concubine Shu knew that something had happened and she couldn't report to the tenth prince, so she asked the nanny to watch the tenth prince and left the hall by herself.

Asked the eunuch, "what's the matter?"

The eunuch lowered his voice and said, "Concubine Xin suffered a fetal collapse and died."

Concubine Shu frowned, the queen and the prince were dead, the Li family was ransacked, there was no need for Li Lanxin and the child in her womb to exist.

It's just that it's a pity for the child who has already formed.

Seeing that the eunuch still didn't leave, Concubine Shu asked suspiciously: "Is there anything else?"

The eunuch said again in a low voice: "I heard that the child who leaked out has disappeared."

Concubine Shu frowned, "What's going on? Who took it away? What does that person want the newly formed fetus for?"

The eunuch shook his head, "I don't know, so it's strange to say this."

Concubine Shu asked, "What about Concubine Xin's body?"

The eunuch said: "A piece of mat was rolled out, and it is said that it was thrown into a mass grave outside the city."

Concubine Shu nodded, "Recently there are a lot of things going on in the palace, the emperor will definitely clean up the queen's people, and let everyone be careful."

"Yes!" The eunuch agreed, and quietly withdrew.

……

At this time, Shangguan Ruoli and Dongming Ziyu left the city in a carriage.

Dongming Ziyu didn't sleep all night last night, leaning on the carriage's cushion to doze off.

Because it was going to the grave, Shangguan Ruoli didn't get tired of him, and watched the scenery outside from the gap in the car curtain.

The blue sky, the yellow leaves, the waves of autumn colors, the cold smoke and emerald green on the waves.

It is really a beautiful scene, especially the sky, which is as clean as if it has been washed by spiritual spring water.

Perhaps it was because of going to the grave that the beauty of autumn was dyed with a layer of depression and sadness.

A gust of autumn wind blew, and Shangguan Ruoli smelled a strange stench.

It's the smell of corpses!
Only then did Shangguan Ruoli realize that this place is very remote, there is no house in front or behind, and a flock of crows often fly in the sky, making people feel that the air is a bit cold.

"Why do I smell the stench of corpses?" Shangguan Ruoli softly asked Rejoice and the others outside.

Dongming Ziyu said indifferently: "This is close to the mass grave. Back then, Mother Su secretly restrained her mother and buried her in a thin coffin nearby. The king bought that land, and he didn't bother her by looking for another cemetery to move her grave." Undead."

Shangguan Ruoli nodded, "I see."

Through a sparse grove, one can vaguely see a mass grave in the distance.

There was a figure swaying on it, probably the person who threw the corpse or a family member who was restrained.

Shangguan Ruoli felt that there was a person with martial arts in the image, so he took out a telescope from the hidden compartment of the carriage, adjusted the focus, and looked towards the mass grave.

I saw a man in black put a female corpse on his shoulders and put it on a flatbed.

The woman's hair was loose and she was wearing luxurious clothes.The body is not completely stiff, so it shouldn't be long since he died.

Shangguan Ruoli imagined that this was a concubine of a rich family who had a relationship with a guard, was beaten to death and thrown into a mass grave, and the guards came to collect the body.

I couldn't help laughing, if I was down and out, I could still make ends meet by writing a book.

He was about to put down the binoculars, but with a serious look on his face, he quickly sat up straight and adjusted the binoculars to look at the woman's face.

Shangguan Ruoli was surprised, "It turned out to be Li Lanxin!"

The man covered Li Lanxin with a cloth sheet, pulled up the cart and left.

Shangguan Ruoli put away the binoculars and was not surprised to see that Dongming Ziyu was still dozing off, and asked, "You know Li Lanxin is dead? Why is it not surprising at all?"

Dongming Ziyu didn't even lift his eyelids, and said calmly: "The Li family is dead, so is she still allowed to take revenge in the palace?"

Shangguan Ruoli said: "But she is still pregnant with the emperor's child. I heard that she is still a son. It is okay to let the concubines take care of her when she is born. There are many concubines in the palace who have no children. A child is too white to believe. Everyone is happy."

Dongming Ziyu said: "There are also many concubines who don't want the prince to be born."

Shangguan Ruoli shrugged, "The harem is really a bloody place."

Dongming Ziyu acquiesced and continued to doze off.

Not long after passing the mass grave, we arrived at the queen's cemetery, which was better than Shangguan Ruoli imagined.

After renovation, it is surrounded by a large courtyard, like a large temple with three courtyards.

The gatekeeper saw King Xuan's carriage coming from afar, and greeted the inside. After a while, more than a dozen men in gray robes came out and stood at the door to greet him.

Those men lack arms and legs, and some have one eye.

Dongming Ziyu said: "These people used to be my king's personal soldiers, and they couldn't support themselves after being injured in one way or another, so I put them here to guard the tomb of my mother."

Although Empress Hao was buried hastily at the beginning and no tomb robbers came to patronize her, but Dongming Ziyu's status is prominent, it is hard to guarantee that no one will make a fuss about Empress Hao.

Before the luxurious carriage came to a complete stop, more than a dozen tomb guards knelt down and saluted: "Welcome to the lord!"

Mo Xiang stopped the horse, Mo Wen and Rejoice jumped out of the carriage and put down the horse stool.

Don't want to lift the curtain of the carriage, Dongming Ziyu gets out of the carriage first, and Shangguan Ruoli follows behind.

Dongming Ziyu got off the carriage, turned around and stretched out his hand.

Shangguan Ruoli put his hand in his, stepped on the small stool and got out of the carriage.

Dongming Ziyu introduced, "This is Princess Xuan."

More than a dozen tomb guards kowtowed again and said, "My subordinates pay homage to Princess Xuan!"

Shangguan Ruoli said indifferently: "Let's get down."

The tomb guard flattened his body and made way for the door.

Dongming Ziyu led Shangguan Ruoli across the heavy threshold and into the cemetery.

The cemetery is very solemn and majestic, with verdant pines and cypresses and dense trees in the cemetery. There are archways, side halls, and main hall. The queen's tomb is behind the main hall.

In this case, worshipers will naturally not go to the grave to burn paper.

In the main hall, there are spirit tablets and incense tables, and it is enough to worship here.

Dongming Ziyu personally took out the imperial decree and enshrined it in front of the spiritual tablet, "Mother, your grievances have been cleared up, you can rest in peace!"

Shangguan Ruo's heart felt sour, she was a man who loved her dearly, and held Dongming Ziyu's hand tightly.

Dongming Ziyu took advantage of the situation and pulled Shangguan Ruoli to the coffin, and said, "Queen Mother, this is your daughter-in-law, take a look, do you like it?"

A gust of autumn wind from the mountains blew from outside, and the curtains in the hall shook, making Shangguan Ruoli shudder.
