After Tunduo thought about it carefully, he said uncertainly: "Master Doro, when the snowstorm just started, I vaguely saw a few figures. Could it be that they took away the body of Empress Xiaoshengxian?"
?”
"Why do others steal the body for no reason? What nonsense." As soon as he finished speaking, Doro hesitated, because Empress Xiaoshengxian had many valuable jewelry on her body, and the golden crown on her head was priceless.
It is very possible for people to steal corpses for the sake of wealth.
Thinking of this, Doluo quickly said: "Tunduo, have you seen the faces of those people clearly?"
Tunduo shook his head and said: "The wind and snow were so strong at that time that people were almost blown away. Where could we see clearly?" After that, he said hurriedly: "Master Doluo, we have been delayed for a long time. We don't want to set off again.
It’s really too late. When the people from the Imperial Mausoleum ask, we...how should we answer?”
"Let's go. There is no body of Empress Xiaoshengxian, so why go? Could it be that we are carrying an empty coffin?" Ur's casual words made Doro think about it carefully.
After a while, he said to everyone solemnly: "I ask you, do you want to live or die?"
Everyone heard Doro's sudden question. Although it was a bit inexplicable, they all chose the same answer, which was life. They all said that death is worse than living. Unless they can't survive, no one wants to die alone.
Doro nodded vigorously and said: "Okay, since everyone wants to have a baby, let's tell a lie together." After that, he ordered someone to lift the coffin lid, cover it on the coffin, and then pat the heavy coffin.
The coffin said: "This lie is that Queen Xiaoshengxian is in the coffin right now!"
Tunduo opened his eyes wide and stammered: "Sir, do you want us to hide the disappearance of the body of Queen Xiao Shengxian from the Emperor?"
"Yes, if the truth is told, the emperor will definitely be furious. Not only will our heads fall to the ground, but our family will also be implicated. So this is the only way to survive. After being carried to the emperor's mausoleum, it will not
Someone opened the coffin to see if there was a corpse inside, and the coffin was so heavy that the weight was not noticeable."
"But...but it is the crime of deceiving the emperor. Once it is found out..." before Tun Duo could finish speaking, Doluo interrupted: "As long as all of us keep our mouths shut and don't tell anyone, this will happen..."
The matter will become an eternal secret, and no one will know what happened today."
"Yes, Master Doro said, this is our only way to survive now." After Ur was the first to express his position, the others also agreed with Doro's statement, making this matter a secret forever. Since everyone else agreed
, Tun Duo could only suppress the worries in his heart.
After the agreement, they nailed the coffin up again, and then pretended that nothing had happened and carried the coffin to the imperial mausoleum. No one except them knew that the coffin buried in the imperial mausoleum had turned into a human being.
An empty coffin.
At this moment, the group of men who took Ling Ruo away had already moved far away from where they were and settled in an uninhabited dilapidated house.
After placing the "corpse" on his back, Batu said in confusion: "Master, why do you have to carry this body? Although the jewelry on her body seems to be valuable, we don't lack these."
He and several others were also very confused.
The man smiled slightly and said, "Look carefully, is she really dead?"
His words shocked Batu and the others. They quickly stepped forward to take a closer look and put their fingers under her nose. Sure enough, they found that her eyelashes were trembling slightly and there was a faint breath under her nose.
Batu retracted his hand and exclaimed in shock: "She...she is not dead, but why is she in the coffin? Could it be that someone deliberately wanted to harm her?"
The man shook his head and said: "We won't know until she wakes up. Okay, you guys are going to get angry first, and then see if you can boil some hot water. Look at this, there is no way to leave today."
Batu nodded and went out with the others, leaving only the man and the unconscious Ling Ruo in the broken house. The man walked up to her and looked at the thin but still beautiful face thoughtfully.
What was he thinking, until a sound of shenyin woke him up from his thoughts, and he leaned over and said, "Are you awake?"
The eyelashes couldn't help trembling, and then the eyelids slowly opened, and a subtle voice came from the mouth, "I...where is this?"
If Yinzhen were here, he would definitely be so excited that he could hardly control himself. After the Gelsemium poison was mixed with the drug of suspended animation, it no longer has the lethal toxicity due to the drug conflict, but it is the most poisonous drug after all, even if
After the drugs were mixed, they still had strong toxicity. It was this toxicity that made Ling Ruo stay in suspended animation for a longer period of time. He had to stay in suspended animation for four or five days before he woke up.
"Anyway, it's not like I'm in a coffin." The man said casually and then said, "How do you feel? Do you feel any discomfort?"
Ling Ruo ignored what he said next, just thinking about the first sentence "not in the coffin". By the way, didn't she drink poisoned wine and die? How could she still wake up? And listening to these words, it didn't sound like
It's in the underworld, this... what's going on? Also, who is the person talking to me?
Thinking like this, she tried to open her eyes wide. After adapting to the light in the room, she finally saw clearly the man standing next to her. He was elegant, handsome, and extraordinary. But why did she feel familiar when he looked at it?
It seemed like she had seen it somewhere before, but she was certain that she was definitely not from the palace. "Who are you, and where are you here?"
The man smiled slightly and said, "Concubine Xi, have you forgotten me so quickly?"
His words made Ling Ruo even more surprised, and she said in surprise: "Do you know me?"
"Concubine Xi is such a stunning beauty. Once you have seen her once, you will never forget her." Ling Ruo found the man's words even more strange. After holding her slightly aching head and thinking hard for a while, she finally remembered where she had seen this person before.
The man said in surprise: "It's you. Are you the envoy who came to the capital to request a marriage from the emperor?"
The man's smile was as warm and cheerful as the autumn sun, "Your Majesty, you finally remembered me. Yes, it's me."
Ling Ruo narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "I wonder whether I should call you the messenger or Galdan now?"
The man's smile faltered, and a stern look appeared in his eyes, "How do you know I am Galdan?"
Ling Ruo said calmly: "I don't know, I just gave it a try, and the result confirmed my suspicion. The man who pretended to be a messenger to ask for a marriage is indeed the Khan of Jungar."
The light in Galdan's eyes flickered, and it gradually faded away after a while, and returned to his usual gentle and gentle look. He clapped his hands and said, "I didn't expect that Concubine Xi is not only beautiful in appearance, but also smarter and more intelligent than ordinary people. It really makes me wonder."
