After getting her guarantee, the Queen Mother dismissed the other palace attendants and took only Chulan with her. Qiucao did not bring any attendants, and only Xiaohong was with her.
Because Qiucao was pregnant, the Queen Mother deliberately told the carriage to slow down, so when they arrived at the imperial mausoleum, it was already the time when the sun was slowly setting in the west.
When Mu State built the imperial mausoleum, although it was based on the premise of not being extravagant, it represented the royal family after all, so it naturally had to be more imposing than the tombs of other officials or ordinary people.
However……
The carriage stopped in front of a small stone hill without a monument.[
Qiucao got off the carriage and immediately saw the small stone hill among a bunch of buildings.
Looking around at the simple yet imposing buildings, Qiucao's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Although she felt that people lived better while alive and it didn't matter where they were buried after death, she still couldn't help but feel sad when she saw that Muzi's tomb only contained such a large pile of stone mounds.
However, when she got closer and saw an unmarked tablet standing in front of the stone hill, the tears in her eyes could no longer hold back and fell down her cheeks.
She didn't know that after Mu Zi died, he couldn't even have his name engraved on the monument. He could only stand alone like a barren tomb in this huge imperial mausoleum.
Qiucao's heart throbbed, and she slowly sat down holding the stone tablet.
When the Queen Mother saw her action, she was frightened and hurried over to help her over, "Yingrong? Yingrong? Are you okay? Don't scare the Queen Mother!"
Qiucao shook his head gently, but his eyes did not fall on the Queen Mother, but stared straight at the blank stone tablet.
The Queen Mother immediately understood and clapped her hand. While explaining, she also said good things for Mu Zhaochu, "My son was executed for treason. According to the laws of the Mu Kingdom, he cannot enter the imperial mausoleum. But His Majesty said, no.
I hope... his soul will be homeless after his death, and he insists on being buried in the imperial mausoleum... but due to the law and the ministers, he cannot write his name on the monument."
Qiucao didn't look back from the beginning. She stared straight at the stone tablet, wondering if she had listened to the Queen Mother's words.
The Queen Mother didn't mind her absence, she just felt that the atmosphere was a bit embarrassing. Buried inside was her other son's clothes, but for the sake of her other son's life, she couldn't say anything, so she could only remain silent and wait for Qiucao to find out on her own.
