Chapter 73
They didn't start until late at night, and when they reached the fork in the road, Jinyan suddenly remembered that a person like the late emperor should not turn the place of engagement with the beloved into a desolate and lonely palace, right?
He simply called the Shangwei clan and another person to walk in the direction of Chaoyan Palace.

Two inaccessible palaces with the same digging action.

Jin Yan stood beside the ginkgo tree, knocking on the melon seeds she had brought out before leaving, and watched them digging hard.

Tonight happened to be the night of the full moon, and the bright moonlight passed through the leafy ginkgo trees, casting a large shadow on the ground.

"It's like a bell here!"

Ah Yan, who was also fishing, pointed to a shadow on the ground and said.

Following his gaze, the shadow really looked like a bell.

"Come dig here."

Hearing the order, Wei Zu wiped off his sweat, gave the person next to him a look, and the two began to work at that location.

After digging for a while, nothing was found.

Suddenly, the sound of metal colliding with hard objects sounded in the quiet environment.

Jin Yan naturally also heard the voice, took a few steps forward, and looked into the pit
"Your Majesty~"

Ah Yan pondered: "I'm worried that there will be danger inside,"

After speaking, he stood in front of her with his hands spread out in a protective posture.

Here, a large piece of soil was dug up, and a wooden box appeared in front of everyone.

The Wei family confirmed that there was no problem before presenting it, and Ah Yan was the first to take it.

The Empress just glanced lightly, and said to the Wei Clan: "Let's go to the Leng Palace to have a look."

The distance between the two palaces is not far, and because of the trail, they arrived in a short while.

At this time, the four people were still digging hard.

"Stop it~"

They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the order sounded.

One of them came out, pointed to the sundries piled up beside him, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, these are all things dug out."

"You pack it up and take it home to make an inventory before handing it over to me."

The digging trip ended very easily, and a few birdsong could be heard from time to time on the way back.

Jin Yan glanced to the side, but unfortunately she couldn't see anything clearly under the cover of night.

Ah Yan also looked in her direction, thoughtful, moved his mouth, but said nothing.

The two of them returned to Chaoyan Hall with their concerns in mind.

Jin Yan was not in a hurry to open the box, she wanted to sleep first and recharge her energy before doing this.

In the inner hall, the empress was lying on the ground and arranged a simple bed with a few mattresses.

Although Ah Yan was that bastard Ze Huanian, but sleeping with him made him feel guilty for spoiling a teenager.

"You sleep here."

Uncompromising attitude.

Hearing this, Ah Yan was naturally unwilling. After pretending to be pitiful several times and failing, he was finally forced to sleep unwillingly under the coercion.

It's just that his eyes are always on the dragon couch that is close at hand, and he secretly thinks: I will climb up one day sooner or later.

Jinyan didn't sleep well that night, feeling like she was being spied upon. If she didn't know who the owner of her gaze was, she probably couldn't resist killing him long ago.

The morning arrived as promised, and after a simple breakfast, she began to study the box.

The material is exactly the same as the one taken out of the cold palace, but this one has no lock, but a groove at the bottom.

Jin Yan put the jade pendant she found earlier on it, and as expected, the box opened.

Unlike the nesting dolls like last time, this time the box was much simpler. After opening it, there was a jade pendant and several pieces of letter paper full of writing. The color on it had begun to turn yellow, as I had thought about it for a long time.

Putting the letter paper aside, Jin Yan picked up the picture scroll and spread it out. Sure enough, this was the picture of a lady playing the piano she was looking for in her dream. However, it was at least three years ago, yet it looked as if it had just been painted The ink on it is not completely dry yet.

"Does this box have a fresh-keeping function?"

She couldn't hold back her nonsense for a while, but Ah Yan who was on the side heard: "What does the preservation function mean?"

Empress coughed twice in embarrassment, put the scroll back, and said seriously: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask."

"Oh~" He didn't continue to speak, but just remembered the word in his mind, always feeling that the meaning of this word is not simple.

The content of the letter is very messy, some of which are only a few short sentences, like a diary:

That night, a man's voice suddenly sounded in my head,

The voice flashed by, but I didn't pay attention to it, thinking I heard it wrong.

A month later, the voice came again, and this time he called my name.

At that time, I had just ascended to the position of the East Palace, and there must be no mistakes, so I asked the mage in private to ask.

He danced and performed a lot of messy rituals, and then told me that the evil spirit had been removed.

In the next few days, that voice did not appear again.

Just when I was completely relieved, it appeared again, and this time it spoke a complete sentence.

"I can't escape, my host." It was an indistinguishable voice, and when it sounded in my head, it was particularly penetrating.

But the most frightening thing is the word "host". This word, which has never been heard before, always gives people a bad feeling.

I went to the mage again, and it was the same messy ceremony as before. Just halfway through the ceremony this time, the voice appeared again.

"This kind of human thing is of no use to me. You are destined to be unable to get rid of mine. Why don't we cooperate, and I will make you a generation of Mingjun."

Looking at the mage's face that looked particularly funny because of those messy colorful patterns, I suddenly gave up on that plan.

I took the initiative to leave this ceremony, but I didn't agree to that voice. I, who came out of the battle of Nine Dragons, naturally wouldn't believe that there would be good things falling from the sky.

There may be a sharp knife hiding behind the candy.

Later, that voice often rang in my ears. Its thinking and determination were very strong, and there were many overdue thoughts. Gradually, I began to think like it. The officials and my father praised me more and more. more.

Year after year, I actually started to get used to its existence.

My attitude towards it is not as indifferent as it was at the beginning. On the contrary, I have the feeling of being an enemy and a friend, and I talk more with it.

It didn't tell me where it came from, nor its identity. It just said that it had a task that must be completed, a task that must be completed even if it means death.

At that moment, I felt a lot of uneasiness in my heart. No one would be willing to waste several years of energy on a useless person. There must be something he wants in me.

A few years passed by,
After the death of my father, I ascended to the throne as expected by everyone. The strange thing is that I am not very happy, but this position is clearly my dream, perhaps because the temperature of the dragon chair is much cooler than I imagined.

After the enthronement ceremony, I sent the eunuchs away to wander around the center of the palace alone.

I met her when I was passing Chaoyan Hall!
