365. Chapter 365 Finding the Way 22

****

Su Hen pushed the crystal coffin away and looked at himself lying quietly inside. Although it was not the first time he saw it, the shock and weird feeling in his heart was still very strong.

Luo Wenqing saw it and was surprised, "Why is it you?"

"Yes, why would it be me?"

Su Hen said in a strange tone, "But it's not me, I'm here now."

"Haha, that's right."

Luo Wenqing looked at Su Hen in the coffin, "Letting you ascend the throne has always been what we planned. We also thought that it would be bloody and ultimately lead to failure. But we didn't expect that it would actually come true. Unfortunately,

Judging from his face, he must be in his mid-twenties, right? It shouldn’t take too long to ascend the throne.”

"Well, according to our previous planning and completely overthrowing the concubine, it will take at least five years."

Su Hen nodded slightly, "However, the master is no longer here, and all the planning has become leaderless. How can she rise up quickly and eventually become the emperor? This is really not easy."

She then thought about everyone's impression of the original owner of her body: ugly, stupid, and weak.

With such a soul attached to his body, and in the difficult environment he was in at the time, it would have been difficult to survive. How could he finally defeat the princess and ascend the throne without the help of his master?

Even if the concubine died early, it would still not be her turn.

Could it be that Xiao helped her?

Su Hen turned to look at Xiao's human figurines.

His face is more mature and expressionless.

Did he realize that he was no longer the same?

"Master, they all say that these beautiful figurines are made of the skin of living people, but why do I think they are made of whole living people?"

Su Hen couldn't help but stretched out his fingers and gently touched Xiao's face.

This skin is still full of elasticity, just like alive, but a little less warm.

Even the eyes are similar to the eyes of strangers, but there is no focus and no expression.

"Well, I once read Taishizu's book, and it was indeed said that whole living people were used to make human figurines. The previous generations of empresses in the Yong Dynasty, after their death, all turned their beloved concubines into beautiful figurines.

As for those who were buried with them, Emperor Rende felt that this technique was too cruel and ordered it to be destroyed. He also stipulated that future generations should not be buried with human figurines. Even the concubines and beauties to be buried with them could only be one or two during their lifetimes.

I'm quite fond of you. Now, there are suddenly so many beautiful figurines buried with you, which is really puzzling, and they are still next to your corpse."

Luo Wenqing's eyes fell on a beautiful figurine wearing white wide sleeves, "I know this figurine. She has been famous in the south of the Yangtze River since she was twelve years old. She is known as the most beautiful woman in the south of the Yangtze River. She knows everything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"

Su Hen looked at it carefully and found that his face looked familiar. Looking more closely, he felt a bit like Zhuo Yifan, especially the corners of his lips, which were slightly raised. However, he had long hair and an expression on his shoulders.

Elegant and calm in posture, it is even better than Zhuo Yifan.

Seeing as he was standing closest to the crystal coffin, he was probably the most beloved beauty.

"Master, I want to take Xiao out and this body to prevent the tomb from being excavated and destroyed in the future."

Su Hen said to Luo Wenqing, "I will never let them be destroyed."

"Um."

Luo Wenqing nodded, "If it's inconvenient for you, I can guard them for you."

"Master, you can help me protect her first, but I want to take Xiao with me."

Su Hen stretched out his hand to flick the warrior's clothes, and looked at him with eyes that softened a bit.

In the past, she had never been willing to look at him with gentle eyes and refused his attempts to get closer again and again.

Now, she wants to take him back so that she can always look at him and feel that he is still there.

"Um."

Luo Wenqing nodded.

The two first moved the crystal coffin and the body down the mountain and hid it in Luo Wenqing's backyard.

Then, Su Hen came up alone and personally carried Xiao's human figurine down.

When she lifted the figurine out of the ground, she didn't notice that Xiao's originally stagnant pupils showed a slight light.

However, it was just a little bit and soon disappeared.

This human figurine is different from ordinary human figurines. All the limbs and joints can be moved.

Su Hen also put Xiao on the chair in front of the master's courtyard and sat down.

The moonlight fell softly on him, making him look a little hazy, as if he was alive and looking at himself quietly.

Tears blurred her eyes again...

She stretched out her hand to straighten his collar, which was a little messed up by herself, but found that there seemed to be something on his chest.

Just unbutton his collar and take a look...

The tears welled up again more violently.

What hangs under his neck is actually a wooden marble that she gave him as a gift when she was five years old.

At that time, she asked him to play marbles with her, and whoever lost would have to draw a mark on his face.

He kept losing, and kept letting her draw on his face until it turned into a cat with a painted face, which made her giggle with joy, and then said that she would give him the marbles as a betrothal gift for marrying him in the future.

He also happily accepted it.

I thought the marble had been lost a long time ago.

Unexpectedly, it always stayed in his heart.

He has been thinking about his promise to marry him, right?

Thinking about it, her heart felt like being pricked by a needle, and she felt severe pain. She hated herself for why she had suppressed herself so much and made him suffer.

Life is short, love should be loved immediately, otherwise, it may be a permanent separation.

She carefully arranged his clothes, lowered her head and kissed him gently on his forehead, "Xiao, in a few days, I will definitely wear a red wedding dress for you. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long!"

"

She didn't see it when she kissed his forehead.

The color of his gray-black pupils seemed to be a little brighter...

Su Hen took out the master's snow plum wine, took two wine glasses, placed one in front of Xiao, and filled the other for himself.

"Xiao, let's drink!"

She touched his glass with her own in tears.

In the past, she often forced him to drink with her.

However, every time he would quickly drink up the wine she poured for him, and then stand respectfully aside, feeling as if it was a very disrespectful thing to sit side by side with her.

Now, he could no longer be like this and could only let Su Hen control him to sit down and stand up.

However, he can no longer take the initiative to drink.

Nor can you put away the flask and glass when you are half drunk so that she can no longer drink, and then watch her overturn the table and get angry.
