Medical Consort vs. Evil Sickish Prince - C331 mausoleum keeper(3)

The woman repeatedly nodded her head, “Four … I… “No, servant …” She thought of something and took out a pearl from her bosom. It was round and pitch-black, and it was forced into Helian Yu’s mouth.

He was caught off guard and put the bead into his mouth. He smelled a fishy stench and immediately felt nauseous. Just as he was about to spit it out, the woman shook her head at him. He hesitated for a moment and the bead quickly melted in his mouth.

This time, it was impossible for him to vomit. Helian Yu could only swallow it with an ashen face. Thinking back, he really wanted to vomit, but the dizziness followed and disappeared.

“Servant Four …” Man, not four … “Ghost.”

Jing Nan explained to him with great difficulty for a long time, and he almost understood what happened to her that year.

Before Imperial Concubine Yu’s mausoleum closed up, Jing Nan was grabbed and forced down the mausoleum path, breaking both her legs. She crawled around, looking for an exit, and finally found a vent, but it was only the size of a peephole.

The ancient tunnel usually did not leave any air vents. This could have been the exit that the craftsmen had left for him to escape from. It was built extremely well hidden, but eventually it was discovered and sealed with molten iron.

The shape of the iron water flowing in was the same as the escape gate, it was also made of earth, so after digging with all her might, they could finally reach the stone wall structure of the tomb. Jing Nan could only look at the small air vent in despair.

Reluctantly, she climbed back into the tomb to find whatever she could, removed the lamp, and lit the long wick outside the vent in the night, holding back the smoke and coughing, hoping that someone in the dark would see the light and get her out.

Actually, it was very risky at that time. Not only could it not attract the person who saved her, it could even lead to the person who silenced her.

However, her luck was not bad, and she attracted an old palace maid, who was also the Mausoleum Guard who was left behind in the mausoleum that year. She could not go out in the mausoleum for a whole thirty years, and seeing that she was about to die of old age, she suddenly discovered the abnormality outside the mausoleum, so she started to chat with Jing Nan.

The old palace maid sympathized with her plight. Every night on duty, she would bring some small pieces of food and water with her from the air vent. Sometimes, she could also send some medicine down, but she was unable to expand the air vent to save her.

Jing Nan’s legs were crippled, she learned how to crawl along the ground and walls like a snake, and was very familiar with the inner structure of the underground palace. She found that the tomb chamber could only be opened from the outside, and there was no way out.

The old palace maid grew older and older. He was sometimes sick these years, so he could not bring food over on time. As a result, the amount of food stored in his body became fewer and fewer. The most recent time, she hadn’t come for more than twenty days. When Jingnan despairingly thought that he was about to die, Helian Yu barged into the tomb chamber.

She instinctively thought that this foreigner had come in because he was uneasy and had good intentions. The corpse fragrance he had created with his own cooking technique not only had a dizzying effect, but it could also kill people over time. The antidote she had forced Helian Yu to swallow just now was the antidote.

“In that case, what secret are you guarding?”

Jing Nan was silent for a while, and on her expressionless face, there was also a trace of trembling fear.

“Imperial Concubine …” “He was killed by someone …”

Following Jingnan’s narration, Helian Yu finally pushed open the lid of the inner coffin, revealing Imperial Concubine Yu’s corpse.

Helian Yu was twenty-three years old. His birth mother had been dead for twenty-two years, but the corpse inside the coffin was vivid and lifelike, as if it were a cloud of black hair tied high in a bun. It was filled with precious pearl jade hairpins, and his hands were folded in front of his chest.

That female corpse looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, beautiful beyond belief. Although her face was a little thin, her makeup was extremely exquisite, and did not destroy her sense of beauty. Although today’s Imperial Consort Zuo was similar to her, she was actually not as beautiful as her.

“This corpse …” Relying on the protection of the Face Pearl? ”

“What Face Setting Bead? They’re all lies.” Jing Nan smiled coldly, “Have you heard of the Frigid Eating Powder?”

Helian Yu shook his head.

“The Frigid Eating Powder contains a large amount of cinnabar and mercury. These are all things that Daoists use to concoct pills. It is said that consuming them over a long period of time will cause one’s skin to turn white and their complexion to change. Imperial Concubine has been taking this pill since before she was alive … ”

“Wait, you said that Taoist concocted pills?”

“Yeah.”

Helian Yu suddenly thought of the explosion of his Helian divine ability’s pill furnace and shivered. Could it be that the pill that Imperial Concubine Yu had consumed was the pill he had refined? It was no wonder that the Helian Divine Art had used all sorts of excuses to refuse to allow him to use the Three Lives Wheel the first time he used it.

Jing Nan looked at him with suspicion and continued, “Red Sand and Mercury are both poisonous substances. If consumed for a long period of time, it can cause one’s death. These two things could make a dead body as beautiful as it was when it was alive, but what was the use of being beautiful? “Look at her …”

“Who told her that the Frostbite Powder had the ability to retain one’s looks?”

Jing Nan lowered her head and didn’t speak.

“Who?” Helian Yu suddenly raised his voice and shouted sternly.

“Don’t ask. Telling you about this matter is useless.”

“If you don’t say it, I will still kill you immediately!” Helian Yu once again raised his dagger and placed it across her neck, showing no mercy.

Jing Nan raised her head slightly and looked at him, letting the blood on her neck flow down the wound. But her expression was extremely calm: “Your Highness, you should be the crown prince, right? The Emperor promised Imperial Consort Wu Yu that he would grant you the title of crown prince. “You truly look like your father, and are also as heartless and heartless as him. This is also very good, so you wouldn’t be like your mother, weak, kind, and easily harmed by others …”

Two streams of clear tears rolled down her pale and thin cheeks. A trace of a smile appeared on her long expressionless face. On the contrary, it seemed somewhat stiff.

Helian Yu’s heart was like a stone to begin with. But when he saw the gentleness and sadness in Jing Nan’s eyes, he slowly put down his blade for some reason. This woman was willing to die to protect her mother’s coffin. Her loyalty to the heaven and earth could be seen from this. The reason she wasn’t willing to speak was definitely to protect him.

“Even if you didn’t say anything, I’d still be able to find out for myself.”

Jing Nan shook his head: “Don’t go after it, don’t. Your Highness, Imperial Concubine Yu already knew why she died from the poison when she was still alive, but she still took the poison. She only wanted to protect you from further harm.

She could not help but resent the fact that her mother was not fighting for her son’s life. Perhaps she thought that her death could be exchanged for her son’s life of peace, or perhaps even wealth and wealth due to imperial authority. However, she did not think about how a child without a mother could grow up in such a gloomy place like the Imperial Palace.
