Mu Yun'an didn't think there was anything wrong at first sight. It wasn't until she smelled the sandalwood that she was suddenly surprised. The incense was burning, which meant that someone had been here not long ago.
This tomb is not ownerless!
Mu Yun'an was curious. She didn't know whose tomb this was. People often came to the underground palace to pay homage. She glanced at Xiao Chengyi and asked what he meant.
Xiao Chengyi took her hand and walked towards the incense table. When he got closer, he saw clearly what was written on the spiritual tablet: the spiritual tablet of my late husband Ye Jinning.
"Ye Jinning?"
Mu Yun'an felt that the name sounded familiar, and the tablet said "My late husband", which meant that the person who set up the tablet was Ye Jinning's wife.
Xiao Chengyi's eyes darkened slightly. He stared at the name on the spiritual tablet, and he was a little shocked. After a while, he slowly spoke: "He is the prince of Zhenguo!"
When Mu Yun'an heard the words "Prince Zhen Guo", he suddenly thought of the Ye family of Zhen Guo Gong who was implicated in Prince Chen's rebellion eighteen years ago.
It is said that the eldest son Ye Jinning had just got married when the Ye family was in trouble.
Xiao Chengyi's biological mother came from the Duke of Zhenguo's palace and was the younger sister of the crown prince Ye Jinning. She looked at Xiao Chengyi in shock and said, "Then isn't he your uncle?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "My biological mother is nominally from the Zhenguo Palace, but in fact her real identity is the princess of Nanyue."
Mu Yun'an's eyes widened: "The princess of Nanyue?" She frowned and murmured: "So the rumors are all true."
The crime of Prince Chen's rebellion at that time was colluding with Nanyue, saying that the princess he married was not the real princess of Zhenguo but a native of Nanyue.
However, the rumors about this matter were true or false, and later became a taboo in the capital, and no one was allowed to mention it again.
Xiao Chengyi looked at Mu Yunan and asked, "You don't know about this?"
Mu Yun'an shook his head.
In the previous life, when Xiao Chengyi raised an army to rebel, he used his identity as the orphan of Prince Chen to raise troops to quell the emperor. At that time, she was imprisoned in the palace and had no information. She only heard a few words from the palace people.
In her previous life, Xiao Chengyi cleared her parents' reputation, probably after she died, so she didn't know the identity of Xiao Chengyi's biological mother.
But she knew some other things, so she hurriedly took Xiao Chengyi's arm and said, "But I'm sure your parents were wrongly accused. Prince Chen was indeed framed for his rebellion back then."
Xiao Chengyi's eyebrows jumped, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked: "Who is it?"
Mu Yun'an said: "Your Majesty, the Yan family and the Han family are all involved in this matter, and it seems to be related to the Queen. Although I don't know the truth of the matter, it is inseparable from them. If you want to find clues,
It’s better to start from the Queen.”
"good."
Xiao Chengyi nodded in response, then took three incense sticks from the side and handed them to Mu Yun'an and said: "Although he is not my biological uncle, he died because of my father. Let's put some incense sticks on him."
Mu Yun'an nodded, took the incense handed by Xiao Chengyi and lit it. The two bowed three times towards Ye Jinning's spiritual tablet, and then placed the incense in the incense burner.
Xiao Chengyi took a deep breath and said: "Let's go, there is a way out there."
Mu Yun'an followed Xiao Chengyi towards a corridor. As expected, there was a stone door at the end of the corridor, but it was different from the one they entered through.
