Medical Consort vs. Evil Sickish Prince - C330 mausoleum keeper(2)

Although the underground palace had a turbid and sealed smell, the air was still considered normal. No one knew where the ventilation holes would be left in the air, otherwise the underground palace that had been closed for 20 years would sometimes cause harm to the human body, even the candle flame couldn’t burn so vigorously.

He walked along the winding catacombs in the underground palace. After passing through several tombs, he arrived at a large stone chamber. In the middle of the chamber was a coffin made of Golden Silk Sauna, which was placed there.

The surrounding burial items also seemed to fit perfectly. Apart from this, there was nothing else out of the ordinary.

Helian Yu stood in front of the coffin in silence for a while. Then, he slowly kneeled down and kowtowed three times. Then, he stood up and did a seemingly outrageous action.

He stood on the stone platform where the coffin was placed, stretched out both arms, and pushed aside the outer layer of mahogany.

“Hiss …” “Hiss …” A strange sound that sounded like the hissing of a snake and the rubbing of fabric sounded especially terrifying in the deathly silence of the tomb. If not for Helian Yu’s excellent hearing, he probably wouldn’t have been able to recognize this sound.

He turned around to find that the place was empty and quiet. There was nothing unusual about the candlestick that he had lit on the stone table in the corner.

He paused, reached for the lid again, and heard the hissing again.

“You think I’m afraid of you just because you’re acting like a ghost in a tomb?” Helian Yu sneered and turned his head to look at the entrance of the tomb. It was still empty.

The main entrance of the tomb chamber seemed to be open to the outside world, with two side rooms on each side. No matter which direction one entered from, one would be able to see everything clearly. As far as the eye could see, in a stone room with a radius of only a few meters, not even a cat or dog could be seen, much less a human.

Just as Helian Yu wanted to ignore him and continue opening the coffin, he suddenly jumped off the stone platform. He walked forward a few steps and bent down. He slowly picked up a long black filament from the ground.

The black silk was long and thin. He twisted it over and over again to confirm that it was a hair. It broke off when he gently pulled. It was impossible to tell if it was a man or a woman just by looking at its length.

Helian Yu suddenly recalled some of the secrets passed down through the mouths of the people — the imperial mausoleum was usually built from the time when the emperor was still very young, and it often took decades to form. During this period of time, many craftsmen would never be able to return. In the end, in order to ensure the safety of the Emperor Tomb’s various secret mechanisms, the remaining craftsmen would be sealed alive in the tombstone.

As he was thinking, he felt a slight itch on the back of his neck, and a gust of cold air rushed up his back, freezing him for a long time. That feeling not only did it not disappear, it became even more obvious, as if there was soft hair rubbing against the side of his neck, and someone was even breathing in and out …

The shadow of the candle on the stone platform swayed a few times. It was unknown where the wind was blowing, but it was swaying so gently that it seemed like it was about to be extinguished.

When the candle was about to be extinguished, Helian Yu suddenly raised his head and saw half a woman’s body stuck to the ceiling of the stone chamber. When the candle was about to be extinguished, Helian Yu suddenly raised his head and saw half a woman’s body pasted to the ceiling of the stone chamber.

“Who?” Before Helian Yu could clearly see that snow-white face, the candle flame had already been extinguished. He could only rely on his memory’s location to swiftly reach for it.

With his speed, he should have been able to grasp the long hair in his hands, but he only managed to grab onto air. The feeling of the soft hair brushing against the back of his hand slowly grew, but it was not soft, it was icy cold.

Helian Yu turned around and a breath of cold air rushed at him. It carried a slightly rotten smell, and a sweet and slightly fishy fragrance caused him to feel dizzy.

When he noticed this, he immediately held his breath and sneered in his heart. The other party had been in a hurry to put him down, thus exposing his location. He only needed to extend his hand to feel a cold object, and he held it tightly in his palm.

The other party cried out in pain.

Helian Yu’s hand tightened, like a metal hoop, causing the other party to be unable to move. Through his touch, Helian Yu’s hand became aware that it should be a section of an arm, gaunt and stiff, without the slightest feeling of a woman’s warmth.

He let out a breath and his other hand quickly lit up the fire. He shone it on the woman’s face; it was indeed a woman with white clothes and black hair. Her face was almost the same color as her clothes.

Helian Yu forcefully dragged her toward the candlestick, focusing on the candles.

The woman in white still had her eyes closed. Her long white robe fell to the ground, making her look a bit weird. She seemed to be unable to walk normally, as if she was a mollusk sliding on the ground.

If one looked carefully at her face, it should be a human face, but it was too pale and bloodless, thin to the point that even her cheeks were slightly sunken. Originally, her facial features should be delicate and beautiful, but now she looked like a mournful ghost female.

“Who are you? “Don’t tell me you’re not human.” As soon as he opened his mouth, Helian Yu could not help but inhale a little of that rotten aroma. He felt even more dizzy.

The woman squinted at him with a smirk on her face.

“It’s useless even if you don’t speak. I believe that you are still alive, and I, will be able to kill you before I faint.”

With these words, Helian Yu had already pulled out his dagger from his boot and placed it on her neck. With just a bit of force, a trace of blood appeared.

As expected of a human, it was impossible for a zombie or female ghost to bleed.

The woman still did not answer, as if she was not afraid of death.

“Actually, you are afraid of death. You have waited here for so many years, yet you did not survive. If you did not want to leave this place alive, it was to protect some secret. If you died, then everything would vanish.”

Helian Yu was not a talkative person to begin with, but he felt that he could faint at any time. He could only speak quickly in order to move the woman in the shortest amount of time. “No matter how powerful he was, he couldn’t hold his breath for a long time. The air was filled with a fragrance that didn’t seem to belong to a woman. She seemed to have adapted well to it, but he didn’t.

As expected, the woman moved. The initial stiffness in her eyes changed to a slight fluctuation. Clearly, Helian Yu’s words had caught her thoughts.

“You four … “Who?” She finally spoke with difficulty. Perhaps she had not communicated with anyone for many years, but it was difficult for her to speak. She could not even be allowed to chomp on the words.

“I am the Crown Prince of the Northern Chu, Helian Yu. The person in this sarcophagus should be Imperial Concubine Wu Yu, my birth mother. ”

The woman’s pupils suddenly contracted. Ignoring the bright candlelight, she tried her best to open her eyes wide and look at him. Suddenly, tears began to fall from her eyes. Her eyes seemed to be filled with joy and warmth.

Helian Yu did not expect her to cry. He only wanted to guess at her identity after thinking about it, “You are …” “Jing Nan?” He slowly withdrew his dagger.
