In the palace, Xie Yan walked out of the palace of the Queen Mother with a calm expression.
The Empress Dowager's spirit became increasingly weak. Even though she managed to summon Xie Yan into the palace, she fell asleep without being able to say a few words.
Both the Imperial Physician and Doctor Xue said that the Empress Dowager's sleep would only get longer and longer the further she went, until one day she could no longer sleep and it was over.
Xie Yan recalled the words of the Empress Dowager in his ears, and the look in his eyes became more solemn.
"Your Majesty." Two servants blocked Xie Yan's steps to leave the palace. Xie Yan frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
The chamberlain respectfully said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother would like to invite you to come over and have a talk."
Xie Yan said coldly: "Tell the Queen Mother that I am busy with important matters and have no time to talk to the Queen Mother."
"This..." The servants were a little embarrassed. Naturally, they did not dare to stop His Highness the Regent, but the Queen Mother's order...
Xie Yan was impatient to say anything to them, and ignored the two of them as they walked out of the palace. The two servants looked at his back as he walked away, looking at each other. After a while, they came to their senses and could only sigh and turn around.
He went to report to the Queen Mother's palace.
The Queen Mother's temper has become worse and worse these days, and I'm afraid they will inevitably be punished if they go back after doing a bad job.
When Xie Yan returned to the Regent's Palace, Luo Junyao and Luo Jinxing and Cai Shang were talking in the study.
Cai Shang is worthy of being Luo Jinyan's most capable confidant, and his work efficiency is very high. In just over a day, he has already arrived at the Regent's Palace with the results.
This made Luo Junyao couldn't help but wonder, what have those officials in Shangyonghuang City been doing all these years? Even if the government didn't just go explore the underground situation for nothing, they wouldn't have found nothing at all for so many years, right?
The Princess Regent apparently forgot that this ancient tomb did not appear under Shangyong Di only in the past few decades. No one had discovered it for hundreds of thousands of years.
If they hadn't already known that there was indeed an underground palace underneath, Cai Shang wouldn't have been idle to find out what was underneath Shangyong.
Seeing Xie Yan come in, Luo Junyao raised his head and waved cheerfully, "Ayan, you're back just in time, come and take a look."
Luo Jinxing and Cai Shang stood up to greet them. Xie Yan waved his hand to indicate that they did not need to be polite, and then walked to Luo Junyao with his hands behind his back.
Glancing at the map on the table, Xie Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you found the entrance to the underground palace?"
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Let Mr. Cai do the talking."
Cai Shang respectfully bowed his hands to the three people in the study, and then stepped forward and said: "Prince and Princess, I speculate that there is indeed an ancient tomb underground in the west of Shangyong City. The area is about half the size of the entire Shangyong Temple. According to this scale
, it can be determined that it is indeed an underground palace of imperial mausoleums. The location roughly starts from the line between Mingyue Lake and Yongning Lane and ends about three miles in the western suburbs. However, there is no exit from the underground palace outside the western suburbs. My subordinates speculate that there should be one to three secret passages leading to it.
Among the mountains in the western suburbs."
Hearing this, Luo Jinxing couldn't help but touch his chin and said, "Lao Cai, so you haven't found any entrance or exit?"
Cai Shang couldn't help but glance at him, "Second Young Master, it's only been one day. Even if I pointed out a place for you to dig, you still wouldn't be able to dig the underground palace."
Xie Yan shook his head and said: "No, aunt said... I don't care which side of the Yao family's affairs I am on. It's best not to interfere. If you must interfere, just do whatever you want. What aunt is worried about is not Dingyang Hou Mansion, but Mu
Prince's Mansion."
Luo Junyao blinked and understood instantly.
No matter how much Xie Yan hates the people in Prince Mu's palace, Prince Mu and Princess Mu are still his biological parents. If his uncle kills his biological parents, it will naturally be unfilial in the eyes of outsiders. But if he prevents his uncle from revenge and favors his own parents,
, not only unfilial but also unkind and unjust.
In short, no matter what Xie Yan does, he will inevitably be gossiped about.
Xie Yan leaned Yingting's chin on her shoulder and said softly: "Dingyang Hou Mansion... Auntie said that it was a matter between her and her uncle, the emperor. If A Cheng can personally govern, then it is A Cheng's business. Now my uncle and the emperor
My brother is gone and A Cheng is too young to take care of things. My aunt wants to see my uncle. If it still doesn't work, I can only think that the Xie family can't deal with the merchant."
After all, what Shang Hou did back then was not only for the people of Qinan, but also for the Xie family's empire.
At that time, the Xie family was unable to come up with money and food for disaster relief, which resulted in the Shang Marquis having to take a different approach. Over the years, Gaozu and the late emperor tried their best to suppress the family and Yao Zhong who hated the merchants. Now that Gaozu and the late emperor are gone, the Empress Dowager is seriously ill and dying.
, the little emperor Xie Cheng is still too young to govern, and they can no longer protect their businesses.
Luo Junyao turned around and hugged Xie Yan's waist, saying, "Auntie is very good to you."
The Empress Dowager did not ask Xie Yan to inherit the responsibilities of the great ancestor and the late emperor to the merchants, which allowed Xie Yan to avoid being in a dilemma. Although because of the existence of Prince Mu and his wife, Xie Yan could not stay out of the matter after all, and as the regent of Dasheng, he
It's impossible to stay out of it.
"What are you going to do now?" Luo Junyao asked.
Xie Yan said: "What uncle wants to do is his business. As he said, he can only choose to start but cannot stop. The most important thing right now is what Luan Yisi wants to do."
In the final analysis, Yao Zhong only used and provoked various forces. He did not have much power at his disposal, and it was not enough to cause any trouble.
He threw out the Jinluan Talisman first, motivating all parties to move. But what these people would do in the end was beyond Yao Zhong's control. He obviously didn't care about this, he just wanted to kill those he wanted to
He doesn't care about the target of revenge, as for the people he uses and the forces themselves, what other plans and plans they have.
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Then... Prince Mu's Mansion won't care about it?"
Xie Yan was silent for a long time, and then said calmly: "Is this their own business? Do you think I am too cruel?"
Luo Junyao leaned against his chest and shook his head: "I hope he... doesn't really do it..."
Yao Chong obviously could not accept the idea of using court laws to punish the murderers behind the scenes, or not only Yao Zhong could not accept it, but even the merchants were unwilling to accept it.
Dingyanghou's attitude is obvious. He can die, but the Dingyanghou Mansion will not publicly confess to the court.
Everything they knew was speculation. If Dingyanghou hadn't admitted it himself, no one would have been able to catch the evidence that Dingyanghou's mansion participated in the bloodbath of the Yao family after more than 20 years.
As for Prince Mu’s Mansion, I don’t know what happened to Prince Mu and Princess Mu back then.
Because the atmosphere in Shangyong has become obviously weird these days, many people from the world have appeared in the city and outside the city. Even Anlan Academy has temporarily suspended classes. All students of Anlan Academy are resting at home and no longer go to the academy to attend classes.
Hearing the news, Luo Junyao just smiled and felt that the gentlemen of Anlan Academy had considered it very carefully. In this situation, girls are really not suitable for running around in and out of the city every day. You must know that many people in the world are not very rule-abiding.
people.
Luo Junyao also sent a letter to Su Rui and others, telling them not to wander around outside recently.
"Why are there so many weird people everywhere these days? Something is going to happen."
Luo Junyao was sitting in Pinyiju holding a teacup and drinking tea when he heard a sigh from the person sitting next door. Looking sideways, he saw several scholars sitting diagonally behind them. Although they spoke in a lowered voice, Luo Junyao, who was nearest,
Still heard it clearly.
What made them sigh was the few people from the world who came up from downstairs.
Pinyiju is a relatively expensive place in Shangyong, and ordinary people in the world will not get involved, but there are also rich people in the world, so it is not surprising to see these people here. But for those who are used to elegance
For the dignitaries and scholars of Shangyong, these strangely dressed people with weapons and daggers could not but make them look at them with suspicion and dissatisfaction.
Qin Yao'er sat opposite Luo Junyao and turned to glance over. Then she leaned close to Luo Junyao and whispered: "Princess, those few people seem to be famous masters in Mobei."
Hearing this, Luo Junyao raised his eyebrows slightly, "What does it have to do with Qu Fang?"
Qin Yao'er nodded and whispered: "Although Qu Fang has retired for many years, there are still many people and forces in Mobei who are loyal to him. These people are probably..." She hasn't finished speaking yet.
After saying that, he suddenly closed his mouth and his cheeks puffed up.
Luo Junyao raised his head to talk, and another person appeared at the stairs.
Dressed in black, he has a slender and tall figure. His skin color is slightly darker than that of the Shangyong man, but his facial contours are as handsome as a sculpture.
The most important thing is that Luo Junyao knows this person.
"Qu Tiange." Luo Junyao said softly.
Qu Tiange seemed to hear her voice and turned his head towards the window. When he saw Luo Junyao sitting at the window, his expression did not change much, as if he was seeing an ordinary person who had met him once before.
Soon he turned his head and walked towards the few Jianghu people who came up before him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Qin Yaoer breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and couldn't help lowering his voice and said: "Is it really Qu Tiange? Why is he here?"
Luo Junyao looked at her, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you afraid of him?"
Qin Yao'er patted her heart, then opened her eyes wide and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not afraid of him."
"Really?" Luo Jun hesitated. Qin Yaoer rolled his eyes and whispered: "Okay, I'm a little afraid of him."
"Can't your poison technique hurt him?" Luo Junyao asked.
Qin Yao'er sighed and said: "If my poison technique can do anything to him, then there is no need to be afraid of the prince. You know, once the martial arts reaches a certain level, poison cannot be fed into their mouths or blended into their blood."
Otherwise, most of them will be useless. But..." For masters like Xie Yan and Qu Tiange, it would be extremely difficult to hurt them or make them take poison.
Even if it succeeds, the poison that kills ordinary people may not be effective immediately for them, and a temporary blow is enough to make a martial arts waste like her uncomfortable.
"Why did he come to the capital?" Qin Yao'er said a little disconsolately.
Luo Junyao was not surprised and said calmly: "For his master's sake."
Qin Yao'er blinked and said, "I remember that the princess had a grudge against him."
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "I do have a grudge. Are you going to help me kill him?"
Qin Yao'er said: "I don't have the ability to kill him, but I can provide help to the princess. Just tell me what medicine you want. I guarantee that the medicine will kill him and will not give Musa a chance to save others."
Luo Junyao dragged his chin in thought, smiled and said, "Okay, let me think about how to take care of him."
After kidnapping the eldest sister and being wanted by the whole Dasheng, he still dared to show up in Shangyong with such arrogance. It seemed inappropriate not to teach him a lesson.
