He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

The Queen Mother wholeheartedly supports the eldest prince, and the Xizhou Dam embezzlement case is the best opportunity to bring down Xie Jingyin. Even though the Queen Mother does not like Xie Jingyan mentioning Concubine Chen, she still acquiesces to Aunt Zhao to tell Xie Jingyan the burial place of Concubine Chen to help him. Some filial piety.

Xie Jingyan had been waiting for this day for a long time, and immediately asked someone to prepare his horse. Shen Wan said, "I want to go too."

Xie Jingyan disagreed, "You stay in the palace."

Shen Wan wanted to go, but Yuan Gong was fair, "If it's normal, it would be appropriate for the princess to kowtow to Concubine Chen and burn incense on her head. However, the princess is pregnant, and there are some things that she would rather believe, in case of a collision..."

Xie Jingyan wouldn't give in, and Eunuch Yuan didn't agree either. Shen Wan could only give up the idea.

After seeing Xie Jingyan and the others out of Mo Yuxuan, Shen Wan went back to the house and drank half a cup of tea. She was really bored and read a book to pass the time.

Yin Shuang came in with cakes from outside and said, "Princess, where do you think Aunt Zhao buried Concubine Chen?"

Shen Wan said, "Mass grave?"

Yinshuang, "..."

Can a mass grave be called a burial?

That's called throwing into a mass grave.

They were going to be thrown into a mass grave. Six years later, it was impossible to tell which of Concubine Chen's bones were.

Yin Shuang said, "Concubine Chen is buried in the peach grove outside the city."

"The peach grove, the princess went to see it this spring. The scenery is very beautiful."

Shen Wan was stunned.

Yinshuang added, "The princess has been to that peach forest several times, but she hasn't seen any graves, and she hasn't heard of them either."

Not many of us ladies are brave. Knowing that there is a tomb, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, few people dare to look at it.

Yinshuang didn't know that there was a tomb in the peach forest, but Shen Wan knew that there was a tomb, but it was empty.

In the previous life, the eldest cousin was forced to flee Kyoto and was busy doing business in Da Chu. The third cousin was forced to stay in Kyoto, so he took a fancy to the peach grove, spent a lot of money to buy it, built a garden, and provided food for the flowers when the spring came. All the ladies and children from aristocratic families who went to play took a rest and drank tea.

When I was building the garden, I searched all the nearby mountains. I found an isolated tomb on the edge of the peach grove in an inaccessible place. There was no monument and no one was sweeping the tomb. The tomb was overgrown with weeds, which was really unsightly and affected my business. , the third cousin asked people to burn incense and worship. If he wanted to move the grave to another place, he could dig the grave. The fine nanmu coffin was empty and there was nothing.

...That shouldn't be Concubine Chen's grave.

The emperor hates Concubine Chen and does not allow Concubine Chen to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. It is good that the Empress Dowager did not directly throw the corpse in a mass grave for Concubine Chen. How could it be possible to bury Concubine Chen with high-quality nanmu? Moreover, then, It's an empty coffin.

But Shen Wan suddenly remembered this and couldn't help but think wildly.

just in case……

What if it is?

Xie Jingyan took the relevant evidence from the Xizhou Dam and asked the emperor and the queen mother to tell him the burial place of Concubine Chen. If it was an empty tomb, wouldn't it be deceiving him?

Shen Wan was worried, so she immediately put down the book in her hand and walked to the window.

She looked around for a few times before Chen Yu appeared and said, "What are your orders, Princess?"

Shen Wan said, "Go to the peach grove quickly and see if Concubine Chen's grave that Aunt Zhao pointed out is at the edge of the peach grove. If so, ask the prince to dig up the grave and take a look."

Shen Wan spoke in a hurry, because Xie Jingyan and the others had already been there for a long time.

If you want to dig a grave, you must dig it in front of Eunuch Yuan and Aunt Zhao.

Although Chen Yu felt strange, he didn't dare to ask more and went to do it quickly.

Chen Yu hurried out of the city and rushed to Taolin.

The peach grove was very big, and it took him a while to find Xie Jingyan. At that time, he was pulling weeds from the grave with red eyes. Eunuch Yuan and Aunt Zhao stood aside and watched, both of them a little moved.

Chen Feng wanted to help Xie Jingyan pull it out, but Xie Jingyan refused. The grass on the grave was very lush, and Xie Jingyan's palms were bleeding.

Chen Yu walked over quickly, and when he saw him coming, Chen Feng said, "Why are you here?"

Chen Yu did not reply to Chen Feng, but walked directly to Xie Jingyan and whispered a few words in his ear.

Eunuch Yuan, "...???"

Aunt Zhao, “…???”

Just now, no one was allowed to touch the grass on Concubine Chen's grave, and now they want to dig up Concubine Chen's grave?

What on earth is Prince Ling causing?

But although it was strange, neither Eunuch Yuan nor Aunt Zhao tried to persuade anyone.

Eunuch Yuan knew that Xie Jingyan had made up his mind, and no one could dissuade him. Aunt Zhao didn't want to meddle in other people's business. No one could care about Prince Ling digging the grave of his biological mother, Concubine Chen.

Soon the secret guards dug up the grave and revealed the coffin. Eunuch Yuan was really surprised to see that it was made of high-quality nanmu.

It was enough to surprise Eunuch Yuan that Aunt Zhao buried Concubine Chen in the peach grove where she and the emperor first met, but she did not expect that she would bury her under the finest nanmu. The Queen Mother had always disliked Concubine Chen, but after burying Concubine Chen On the contrary, he is unexpectedly generous.

Chen Feng swept away the dust on the coffin, and Xie Jingyan stared at the coffin, "Open the coffin."

Chen Feng and Chen Yu pried open the tightly sealed coffin.

However, the moment the coffin lid was opened, Xie Jingyan's face turned as dark as a pot, his hands cut by grass clenched tightly, and his sharp eyes swept towards Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao looked at the empty coffin, and she was dumbfounded.

"How...how could it be empty?!"

Eunuch Yuan looked at Aunt Zhao and said, "Did you remember the wrong place?"

Aunt Zhao said anxiously, "It was Concubine Chen who I personally led to bury. How could I remember it wrong?!"

Eunuch Yuan also felt that there would be no mistake in his memory. If Aunt Zhao knew that this was an empty tomb, she would not stop Prince Ling from digging the tomb.

But who would steal Concubine Chen’s body after she was buried?

emperor?

No.

It's possible for anyone, but it can't be the emperor.

The emperor loved Concubine Chen so much that he almost had six palaces in vain, but she was betrayed by Concubine Chen. The emperor wanted to crush Concubine Chen to ashes, so how could he let people take Concubine Chen's body away.

The secret guard turned the coffin upside down and found nothing.

Xie Jingyan almost threw up his sleeves and walked away.

Aunt Zhao was so anxious that she looked at Duke Yuan and asked, "Who would steal Concubine Chen's body?"

ask him?

He still wants to know.

"Let's go back to the palace first."

Eunuch Yuan and Aunt Zhao left the palace together, and they went back together.

Royal study room.

The emperor is sitting on the dragon chair. The memorials on the dragon table were piled as high as they were when Eunuch Yuan left, and they are still as high as they are now.

Eunuch Yuan stepped forward, hesitating whether to tell the emperor or not. The emperor spoke first, "Where is Concubine Chen buried?"

Duke Yuan said, "Buried in the peach forest."

The emperor's hand holding the pen and dipping it in ink paused.

No further questions were asked.

Eunuch Yuan said cautiously, "Mama Zhao said she was buried there, but when Prince Ling dug up the grave, the coffin was empty..."

The emperor's expression changed, "Empty?!"

"What do you mean by this?!"

That’s the literal meaning.

There is no Concubine Chen in the coffin.

Mr. Yuan was fair, "Mama Zhao said that she watched Concubine Chen being buried with her own eyes, but there was nothing in the coffin. After Concubine Chen was buried, her body was stolen..."

Snapped.

The langhao pen in his hand was slapped hard on the dragon case.

The emperor's face was covered with dark clouds, gathering a violent storm.
