The more outrageous the rumor, the easier it is for people to believe it.

"The living dead are covered in flesh and bones", if we extend this idea, wouldn't it mean immortality?

How attractive!

On the day the rumor spread, someone went to spy around the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

As time went by, more and more people came to inquire about the matter, and their behavior became more and more unscrupulous.

The Duke Zhenguo Mansion is like a top-grade elixir that is about to mature, with countless demons and monsters guarding around it, waiting for the opportunity to pick it.

When a man with ulterior motives sneaked into the mourners and opened the coffin lid on the spot, Lu Jianzhang angrily beat him to death and hung his head high on the main street in front of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

A drop of cold water fell into the frying pan where the outrageous rumors about the corpse of Miss Lu Er were spread.

Countless people with evil intentions showed their fangs, and the darkness in people's hearts was completely exposed to the sunlight.

Finally one day, the demons could no longer hold back.

Thieves sneaked into the heavily guarded Zhenguo Mansion. They set a huge fire in the mourning hall and took the opportunity to steal the corpse, which had already begun to decay, from the golden nanmu coffin.

Most of the palace servants who handled the funeral rites died in the fire.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, which kept the coffin and refused to bury the body, became a ridiculous farce.

"who is it--"

"Who did it!"

"Who is it?!"

"I want his whole family to die without a burial place!!!"

Lu Jianzhang's blood pressure soared, all the blood vessels under the exposed skin bulged, and his majestic tiger eyes were filled with bloodshot.

He roared to the sky, and his thunderous voice shook the eardrums of everyone within a five-mile radius of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

He raised his hand and pressed his temple for a long time before he suppressed the dizziness.

He can't fall down, he absolutely can't!

Although he always had illusions deep in his heart and was unwilling to believe that the body in the mourning hall was Shuang'er's, he still wanted those people to be buried with her!

The soldiers led by Lu Jie were in the open, the Xueying Guards were in the dark, and the forces of Lu Yan, Lu Yingxue and Jiang Shuo were there to assist, and they finally uncovered a sad and infuriating fact.

There are so many people involved in the corpse theft that it is difficult to list them all at once.

From sneaking into the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, creating chaos, stealing corpses, cleaning up, dividing the spoils, etc., there were many people who were blinded by the rumors and silently participated in every link.

From the former dynasty and the harem to all kinds of people, the court, the underworld, and even other countries are all involved.

All I can say is that the temptation of immortality is too great.

Lu Jianzhang and others had no place to vent their anger and were filled with sadness. If Lu Ningshuang could revive the dead, why had she been suffering from illness for many years and was often in danger of death?

This is enough to show that the person who spread the rumor has evil intentions!

But why do this?

What are the benefits?

Who will benefit?

After the body was lost, everyone was forced to step away from their grief and start thinking about a series of questions.

"Also, why did I wake up in a deserted palace? Who has the ability to build such a huge underground palace in the imperial city?"

Lu Yingxue timely raised the question that had been bothering her for many days.

The extensive tunnels under the Prince of Liyang's Palace reminded Lu Jianzhang of the fourth prince's treason case that shocked Fengdu a few months ago.

There are countless tunnels under Princess Anle’s mansion.

Yongchangfang is between Yongxingfang and the imperial city. Yongxingfang has been abandoned after Your Majesty ascended the throne, but it actually belongs to Your Majesty's territory.

Yongchangfang is right under the imperial city, and both places have a large number of secret passages. Is it a coincidence?

Your Majesty, can you allow it?

The more I think about it, the thicker the fog becomes.

"Big sister, think about it carefully, do you have any clues?"

As the only person who might have seen the mastermind behind the incident, Lu Yingxue became the focus of everyone present.

"I...seem to have seen someone..."

Meeting Qin Junxiang's encouraging eyes, Lu Yingxue, whose head was aching and whose memory was a little confused, tried desperately to recall.

When people are extremely frightened, they will confuse, exaggerate or forget some things. This is the case with Lu Yingxue now.

She tried to recall, and said intermittently:

“It was dark all around, and I thought I was going to run away, but the man suddenly appeared at the next intersection.

It was a man, who seemed to be about the same age as my father. I couldn’t see his face clearly, but his eyes were scary. Once I looked into his eyes, I found myself unable to move…”

Qin Junxiang dipped the pen in ink and began to draw a profile on the rice paper.

A few days after the news of "Lu Ningshuang's" death spread, he came as the Qin family's errand boy. As for the real representative, he was the scheming second master of the Qin family.

"correct!"

Lu Yingxue suddenly shouted, spit flying, "Qilin dragon pattern! Qilin dragon pattern! There is a Qilin dragon pattern on his clothes!"

Lu Jianzhang pondered:

"Dragon patterns are usually used by the royal family or courtiers favored by His Majesty after being rewarded by His Majesty."

There were many items with dragon patterns in his house, and even a robe with dragon patterns, which His Majesty had once awarded him.

In fact, he had doubts in his mind.

The secret passage in Yongxingfang, the underground palace, the middle-aged man, the Qilin dragon pattern, the abandoned palace, and the invisible obstacles when searching for clues...

But he didn't dare to doubt easily.

Because if you are not careful, all nine clans will be wiped out.

What's more, that person generously gave him the right to call upon the imperial guards. If he had changed his mind at that time, he could have forced the emperor to abdicate.

……

The moon was rising high in the sky, and Lu Jianzhang was so worried that he couldn't sleep.

The wife beside him suddenly waved her hands and screamed desperately, obviously she was in a nightmare.

He woke the person up and comforted him, who burst into tears.

"Master, it's Shuang'er, I saw Shuang'er! She asked me to save her, but I was useless, I couldn't hold her back...

Master, Shuang'er must be somewhere. If we all give up, how desperate will she be? "

Lu Jianzhang held his wife in his arms, patted her on the back and promised:

"Madam, rest assured. As long as Shuang'er is still in this world, I will find her back no matter what!"

……

In March, new buds sprout from tree branches and orioles sing.

The Lu family received a letter that came from the Qiang Kingdom.

There was mud and old and new blood stains on the envelope.

Lu Jianzhang unfolded the letter, and hidden in the nonsense was the message that "Ning'er is not dead".

Baili Lin did not dare to write about the Holy Gu, because no one has confirmed that the Holy Gu was really born.

As long as he doesn't admit it, rumors will remain rumors.

The most precious treasure of Qiang State?

The Qiang Kingdom has many treasures!

"The letter said that he had put a Gu on Shuang'er, and he clearly felt that the child Gu was not dead, which means Shuang'er is still alive."

Now, everyone has noticed the news that Lu Ningshuang is still alive, and even Jiang Shuo didn't pay attention to the fact that a new love rival has emerged.

"Is there any tracking method in the letter?"

Jiang Shuo asked urgently.

"No." Lu Jianzhang shook his head and burned the letter out of habit. "And the letter said that Zi Gu is very weak, and Shuang'er's condition is not optimistic."

Qin Junxiang proposed:

"To prevent those people who have gone crazy in pursuit of immortality, I suggest that we continue to hunt down those who participated in snatching the corpse, and the more vigorous the better, so that they will firmly believe that they are snatching my sister!"

Lu Yingxue echoed:

"The matter is urgent. We can't be distracted by other things. We must focus on saving the sick kid!"
