Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 367 Strange, The Opened Coffin Lid

Hearing this, Baili Jiuge couldn't help turning pale.

Things are not good, that bastard Yin Haoyi knows about Wu Niannian's life experience, and now Yin Haochen is far away in Tongguan, so there is no way to save Wu Niannian.Besides, Wu Niannian was taken away yesterday, is it possible that she has been executed now?
No, you can't think like this!
Baili Jiuge shook his head, calmed down, and then quickly struck the sleeping points of the two women.

Afterwards, she took a deep breath and said, "Let's leave Zheyue Tower now, Gu Yan, and go to contact the brothers of the Beggar Gang, and quickly find out Wu Niannian's whereabouts!"

Gu Yan immediately agreed to Baili Jiuge, and they immediately went downstairs, fearing that they would attract the attention of the guards outside if they stayed too long in Zheyue Tower.

When they arrived at the first floor, it happened to be in time for the guards to change shifts. Baili Jiuge interfered with the guards again with the bird control technique, and they escaped from Zheyue Tower safely without being found.

After staying far enough away, in a remote alley, they met a beggar brother who was resting by the side of the road.

Gu Yan hurriedly went to entrust the task to the beggar brother, and the beggar brother heard it, and he bowed his hands righteously, got up and called for help.

Under the eaves, Baili Jiuge took a few breaths quietly, she came to Rong Weijun's side, and turned her head to look at the baby in his arms.

The baby in the swaddle was no longer crying, but there were still tears on his face, and the tears rolled down his tender face, causing Baili Jiuge's heart to ache.

This is Yin Haochen's son, he hasn't reached his [-]th day yet, and he is still so immature and young.He should be lying happily in the cradle of a loving mother, but his parents are not by his side, and his mother's life and death are still uncertain...

Because of being a mother, Baili Jiuge only felt that he was very close to this child.She hugged the baby, coaxed him like a child, and whispered: "Good boy, don't worry, your parents will definitely come back to hug you."

The group of people rested in the alley for half an hour, during which Yu Lei took the medicine, and Shining's muscles and bones returned to normal.Baili Jiuge hugged Yin Haochen's son, walked out of the alley with a few others, and waited for the news from the brothers of the beggar gang.

The brothers of the beggar gang did not disappoint Baili Jiuge.

Not long after, a skinny and smart little beggar came. Chao Baili Jiuge, Gu Yan and Rong Weijun all clasped their fists and said, "In the past two days, many female prisoners have been executed in Chaodu, and they used all kinds of methods. In this way. We thought that Emperor Zhaoyi might be confusing everyone and not letting Prince Chen know that his wife is going to be killed."

Is there such a thing?Baili Jiuge couldn't help scoffing angrily: "That bastard Yin Haoyi! Yin Haochen is so loyal to him, yet he treats Yin Haochen's wife and children like this." He asked again: "Then, have you found out the whereabouts of Princess Chen?"

The little beggar told the truth: "Miss Heifeng, we have found two whereabouts, but we are not sure which one. One of them is on the side of the East Palace Gate. I heard that in half an hour, a female prisoner will be sentenced to death in the city." For punishment, that female prisoner may be Princess Chen."

The punishment of falling from the tower...

In half an hour...

This time is too tight!

Baili Jiuge hurriedly said: "This place is a little far from the east gate, we have to hurry up and get there within half an hour, we must not let Wu Niannian be really pushed down the palace building!"

Everyone should get down.

Then, led by the little beggar, a group of people took a small path and headed towards the East Palace Gate.

The road was almost as fast as lightning, Yu Lei directly carried Rong Yi on his back, the little beggar was also excellent in lightness kung fu, several people chased after each other, and finally arrived near the east gate just before the execution.

Because of the heavy security at the palace gate, several people kept their distance, lowered their bodies in the woods beside the palace gate, and approached quietly.

On the tower, a young woman in a prison uniform was detained by two guards, as if they were about to push her down the tower.The woman was disheveled and everyone was far away, so it was hard to tell if it was Wu Niannian or not.

Baili Jiuge asked in a low voice: "Xiao Rong, can you use your life to save that woman? As soon as you succeed, we will quickly withdraw from the imperial capital and take Wu Niannian mother and son to Tongguan to find Yin Haochen."

Rong Weijun said: "The idea is very good, but she may not be Princess Chen, if we act rashly, wouldn't it mean that we drove ourselves out of the capital?"

"That's true..." Baili Jiuge frowned, wanting to ask Gu Yan for his opinion.

Gu Yan is hugging Yin Haochen's son at the moment, because he is afraid that the little baby will reveal his whereabouts when he cries, Gu Yan has already touched his sleeping hole.

After exchanging glances with Baili Jiuge, Gu Yan was at a loss as to what to do, and just about to say something, who would have thought that at this moment, the woman on the palace tower let out a scream and was actually pushed down!
not good!Baili Jiuge rushed out involuntarily.She dare not imagine, if that woman is really Wu Niannian...

However, Baili Jiuge couldn't rush out completely, and was held by Rong Weijun and the little beggar from left to right.

She fell back and sat back in pain. In front of her eyes, the woman had already fallen under the palace, and the ground was covered with blood. Such a scene made Baili Jiuge feel strong fear and uneasiness.

She said in a daze: "Wu Niannian, Wu Niannian...Xiao Rong, why are you stopping me?"

The little beggar touched his nose in embarrassment, and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Miss Heifeng, I just remembered that the female prisoner in the fallen palace committed murder a few days ago. Princess Chen is not here, she is here Another place."

Baili Jiuge was stunned, his heart seemed to be pulled up from hell and thrown into the sky.It must be known that when the woman fell into the city just now, her heart almost shattered, but who knew that this was a big oolong?

She was so excited that she wanted to kick the little beggar away, stared at him and scoffed in a low voice: "You bastard, didn't you do it on purpose?"

"Oh, how can this be intentional." The little beggar scratched his face and apologized, while looking at Rong Weijun gratefully.It was thanks to Rong Weijun's quick response that he and he stopped Baili Jiuge, otherwise, he would have caused a catastrophe and discredited the beggar gang.

After all, Baili Jiuge would not be really angry about such a thing, but he was still a little uncertain in his heart, and couldn't believe that the woman was really not Wu Niannian.

The little beggar said: "I misremembered just now. Now that this place can be excluded, the only place left is the imperial tomb. Princess Chen must be imprisoned in the underground chamber of the imperial tomb."

"Imperial Tomb?" Baili Jiuge had been to that place before, and when Yin Zuoxiang and Huo's family were buried in the Imperial Tomb, he had made a big fuss in front of the Imperial Tomb.

Baili Jiuge never knew that there was an underground secret room in the imperial tomb.

The little beggar said: "I'm afraid you don't know that the imperial mausoleum of Dashang not only buries the emperor's relatives, but also a place where secret criminals are executed. I heard that the death-row criminals are locked in an underground secret room, and people from outside go inside." Poison incense..."

"Poison incense?" Baili Jiuge's heart shuddered.

Poisonous incense is very toxic, although the onset is slower than drinking poison, but it only takes a stick of incense to make people poisoned, weak and unconscious.

Thinking about it, Wu Niannian was imprisoned in the underground chamber of the imperial mausoleum yesterday, if he was smoked with poisonous incense yesterday, wouldn't Wu Niannian have already passed away?
Baili Jiuge didn't dare to think about it.

Clenching her fists, she decided to rush to the imperial mausoleum immediately with hope.

No matter what, she still wanted to find that underground secret room, no matter what happened to Wu Niannian now, she wanted to see people when she was alive, and a dead body when she died.

Looking at the woman lying in a pool of blood downstairs for the last time, Baili Jiuge turned around resolutely, signaled everyone with his eyes, and left the palace gate carefully.

They once again used the fastest speed, performed lightness kung fu, and rushed to the imperial mausoleum...

In the gloomy and heavy imperial mausoleum, the cold gray brick surface is stained with mottled moss, and in the intricate corridors, water drips from unknown places, drop by drop, like the crisp sound of pearls falling to the ground.

In this cemetery made of stones, even the shallow footsteps of a woman echoed in circles, echoing in the dim passage.

That was Wu Niannian, holding a half-burned torch, walking carefully step by step.

Yesterday, after she was taken out of Zheyue Tower by the people sent by Yin Haoyi, she was locked in the basement of the imperial tomb.

It was very dark and gloomy there, and she was also terrified, almost begging to miss her husband and children, and could not sleep all night in the claustrophobic environment full of carrion corpses and bones.

Perhaps an hour ago, Wu Niannian saw a stick of incense protruding from the ceiling of the secret room. The faint smoke was lingering, exuding a very sweet smell, as intoxicating as honey.

But she knew that it must not be a good thing, because she had heard the prince say that it was the poisonous incense used in the secret execution of prisoners on death row.

Wu Niannian cheered up in fear, and told herself in her heart that she couldn't die here, she wanted to go out.

At this moment, it really came out. Wu Niannian didn't know how he found the escape passage hidden in the secret room yesterday.

She thought to herself, maybe even Yin Haoyi doesn't know that there is a secret way to escape from that underground secret room.And she was arrested because she was a spiritual woman, and escaped because she was a spiritual woman.

Isn't such a thing ironic?

Wu Niannian stopped suddenly.

She found that she had walked into a side hall containing the coffin.

The imperial mausoleum of the great merchant is not as winding as the imperial mausoleum of the first emperor Heluo, but the imperial mausoleum of the great merchant is extremely huge, and Wu Niannian walked for a long time before reaching a mausoleum in the middle of the imperial mausoleum.

The dead in this mausoleum wouldn't blame her for trespassing, would they?

In the center of the mausoleum, two coffins are placed side by side, and not far away are altars, sandalwood and memorial tablets.

Wu Niannian approached timidly, and saw the names on the tablets——Yin Xun, Lord Protector, and Yin Huo, Lady Protector.

It turned out that this was the coffin of Yin Zuoxiang and his wife.

Knowing Yin Zuoxiang's loyalty and tragic death, Wu Niannian felt both admiration and regret in her heart, so she couldn't help approaching Yin Zuoxiang's coffin, and raised her hand to gently caress it.

With this caress, the originally closed coffin lid moved slightly, Wu Niannian was surprised, and then found that Yin Zuoxiang and Huo's coffins seemed to have been pried open not long ago.

How could there be such a strange thing in the imperial mausoleum?
