Miss Fortune: Is the regent ready for today?

Chapter 414 The coffin is placed on the roof
At this moment, Zhang Yuan finally understood the real intention of Yu Ruyi summoning all the Yu clan members to Changlin Cliff.

With the combined strength of the entire clan, the tower can be demolished faster.

It's not like he hasn't heard of Yu Ruyi's reputation for extreme extravagance. Many years ago, the tall tower that rose from the ground on Changlin Cliff shocked not only the world of martial arts, but also the government.

The octagonal ceiling on the nineteenth floor as well as the floor and stairs are all made of pure gold, an amount that the national treasury would have accumulated for at least ten years.

Zhang Yuan thought about what Yu Ruyi had just said, and finally understood that he refused to go to Beijing because he didn't want Emperor Chongwen to use his money to become the savior of Daliang.

The young man had the people in his heart, but he was stubborn and couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

The feud between the Yu and Ming royal families has lasted for too many years.

Zhang Yuan walked to the front of Yu Ruyi and knelt down again. This time, his expression was very respectful and he was so moved that he had tears in his eyes.

"Zhang Yuan, deputy envoy of the Antai Division, kneels to thank the Holy Lord for his kindness and benevolence!"

At the gate of Baizhou City.

The girl in the black dress rode her horse through the wet bluestone street, and just as she left the city, she saw a familiar aquamarine color.

He rode on the best white horse in Baiqi Villa and looked up at her as expected, "Didn't you find it?"

Yin Luo was a little embarrassed. She smiled awkwardly and answered irrelevantly: "Baizhou was badly affected by the flood."

Chi Linjing was still lazy and walked with her, "Princess Ming said that Duanmu fell off a cliff in the suburbs of Wanli Mountain and died many years ago."

"Impossible." Yin Luo frowned and refuted directly, but after the refutation, she fell silent.

"Princess Ming is observant and attentive, how could the news she gets be false?" Chi Linjing consoled him, "It's okay. I've asked Bu Yu to send a doctor from Nanxia who is good at treating measles to Daliang."

"My aunt has returned to the palace?" Yin Luo met his eyes. "She asked you to come and look for me, right? How did you know I would leave the city through the west gate?"

Chi Linjing nodded, answering her first two questions, "I guessed. I found out that you entered the city from the east gate. Given your personality, you will definitely walk through the city and choose to leave from the west gate."

Yin Luo exhaled, "I wish I could understand the princess as well as you understand me. In this way, I will definitely be able to find her new residence."

"New? Residence?" Chi Linjing's tone was a little subtle. His hand pulling the reins loosened slightly, and the white horse slowed down and stopped.

Yin Luo looked at him, not understanding what he was going to do, "Let's go, why are you stopping there?"

The young man in green robe looked as if he was looking at something strange. "Where did you get the new residence from?"

"Before I entered the city, I went to the outskirts of Wanli Mountain and found that the Princess's villa was vacant. There were piles of fallen leaves in the courtyard, and I guessed that she had moved. But I still don't know where she moved to."

Chi Linjing's expression became even weirder. "Did you not enter the Shanyan attic in the other courtyard?"

Yin Luo turned around abruptly and looked at him, "What did you see?"

In front of a dilapidated villa in the suburbs of Wanli Mountain.

The true energy used to seal the door had been withdrawn by Chi Linjing long ago, so this time the two of them pushed the door openly and walked into the villa.

Yin Luo looked at the scene in front of her, which was exactly the same as what she had seen two days ago. While she was lost in thought, she heard Chi Linjing whisper in her ear, "Although this princess is the eldest daughter of Emperor Chongwen, she seems to have very close contacts with Yuanjin Wang Mingzhidu."

The man in green robe pointed to a courtyard in the north, "That courtyard has a three-sided sloping eaves, the same as the architecture in Pingdu. Look at the plaque hanging on it."

Yin Luo looked over where he pointed, "Dongliju?" "It should be reserved by the princess for Prince Yuanjin. It is convenient for him to stay in this courtyard. I went in and looked around. There is nothing inside, but the gauze curtains and bedding are of the imperial palace standard. The carvings on the wooden windows are the tiger heads on the royal decree." The man in green robe led her to the main hall, "There is a staircase behind the stone wall screen. Go up and you will reach the top of the pavilion."

The moment the door was pushed open, the diffuse smell of dust pierced Yin Luo's nostrils, causing her to sneeze several times.

Chi Linjing naturally handed her a handkerchief. She took it and covered her mouth and nose with it. The bamboo fragrance spread into her lungs, and she couldn't help but be dazed.

The wooden stairs were infested with woodlice and were not very safe. The higher she went, the harder it was to find her footing, and as she had to use one hand to protect herself from the dust, her body swayed a little.

The man in green robe noticed this and put his arm around her shoulders, and from the back, they walked up together as if half hugging each other.

Her mouth and nose were filled with his fragrance. His shoulders were broad, and he could pull her into his arms by just stretching out half his arm. The young man's body temperature came from her shoulders, and she felt a sense of dependence in her heart, and subconsciously moved closer to him.

Realizing that she was not opposed to his closeness, Chi Linjing tightened his arms, and a smile emerged in his affectionate eyes.

Of course Yin Luo didn't know that Chi Linjing was secretly happy. She looked up at the roof with curiosity and could see the sky getting brighter.

The two of them quickly reached the last half level of the stairs leading to the mountain.

The magnificent decorations, the elegant and lofty paintings, the rolled-up gauze curtains decorated with sterling silver wind chimes, and the floor covered with brocade carpets, this is an elegant and beautiful hall, but the atmosphere here is eerie and strange.

The girl in the black dress stood in front of the gauze curtain. Through the fluttering yellow and white silk threads, she could see a coffin parked behind the gauze curtain.

"The eldest princess's body is lying in that crystal coffin. There is a powerful true energy filling the coffin, protecting her body from decay. I didn't open the coffin, but I felt vaguely that the true energy was familiar." Chi Linjing said.

Upon hearing this, Yin Luo hesitantly lifted the gauze curtain and walked to the crystal coffin.

What caught my eye was the beautiful face of a woman. There was a tassel hanging from her forehead, dark circles under her closed eyes, and her lips were very pale. However, her exposed skin was still as delicate and white as when she was alive, without any signs of decay or corpse spots.

Yin Luo lowered his eyes and saw that the eldest princess's hand in front of her body seemed to be holding something.

"Chi Linjing, look, what is that in her hand?"

The man in green robe lowered his eyes and looked at it. "It's a piece of cloth, right?"

"Dead wood-colored cloth?" Yin Luo narrowed her eyes. She remembered Mei Chengting's dead wood-colored robe, which was almost the same color as this one.

"How about opening the coffin and taking a look?" Chi Linjing suggested first, not forgetting to mention the consequences, "But after the coffin is opened, the true energy will definitely dissipate, and the eldest princess's body will probably rot in an instant. It will not look good by then."

"No." Yin Luo answered firmly, "We have no grudge against her. It would be rude and bad to open the coffin rashly."

"That's right." Chi Linjing paced around and looked around the house. "This should have been the living room or tea room."

"How did she die?" Yin Luo sat down next to the coffin.

Chi Linjing crossed his arms, glanced over, and answered in a positive tone: "He was beaten to death by someone."

"Being hit by someone? Killed?" Yin Luo raised his voice, obviously not believing it. "I'm asking seriously! Don't answer randomly! The dignified Princess of Daliang was hit to death in her own villa? This is really dramatic, right? Who would kill her? What was the purpose of killing her? Who found a crystal coffin after her death and filled it with true energy to protect her body from rotting?

Judging from her appearance, she is only in her early twenties. But if she were still alive, she would be at least twenty-five or twenty-six. And the long dress she is wearing, if I remember correctly, this is the most popular Cuiyun pearl yarn in Daliang three or four years ago. The princess likes beautiful clothes and will never wear outdated styles. Putting all these together, doesn't it mean that she has been dead for three or four years?

Didn't the palace get any news? And I heard that every New Year and Emperor Chongwen's birthday, the princess would send gifts back to the palace. Last year, she even sent a brocade dragon painting...

If, if she died three or four years ago, who gave her the embroidered dragon painting last year?"
