After wearing a sick and weak cannon fodder as a prince

After turning over a mountain in Ning'an County, Qin Chuan is behind.Qin Xuechuan came here this time because he wanted to see the original mother in person.

Wu Lin followed him obediently at first, but when he saw that Qin Xuechuan was heading in Qinchuan's direction, he suddenly shouted in surprise, "Your Highness! Where are you going?"

Qin Xuechuan glanced back at him: "As a minister, you only need to obey the orders of your master, and you don't need to ask more questions."

After Wu Lin heard his answer, he was shocked and said: "Your Highness... But Qin Chuan is just ahead, it's very dangerous, you can't go there?"

"I have heard others say that the national teacher's magic power is very powerful. Do you also believe the nonsense rumors in the market, and believe that there are ghosts in Qinchuan?"

Wu Lin said: "I...I don't dare to think so, but Qin Chuan's terrain is steep, and I'm afraid that His Highness will be in danger."

"Since you said that I am the emperor star, then I will not die before becoming the emperor."

After finishing speaking, Qin Xuechuan waved his horsewhip and whipped it hard. Feiju galloped forward, leaving Wu Lin behind.

***

Xiang Lu said that Xiang Muling's tomb is in Qinchuan, which is steep and steep, and the mountain is not suitable for building a tomb.Either the tomb was in a natural cave, or it was built on the mountain path. Qin Xuechuan climbed up the mountain path step by step according to his own intuition.

In fact, he is also half idealist and half materialist. As for ghosts here, he doesn't really believe in them.If there are ghosts in your heart, then even chanting so many mantras will not be able to expel the evil spirits in your heart.

When Qin Xuechuan climbed halfway up the mountain, there was a huge cliff behind him. The mottled cracks on the cliff were like cracked bark, which looked very terrifying.

And at this moment, a gust of wind blew past him, as if he heard the roar of a bunch of soldiers and the sound of weapons colliding.At this moment, he thought he heard it wrong, but when he looked back, there was no one around.

When he turned his head, the gust of wind continued to blow, and those voices still came.After Qin Xuechuan heard the sound of soldiers fighting together, he couldn't help but feel frightened...

Could it be that Qin Chuan is really haunted by ghosts?

Qin Xuechuan doesn't believe in these things... If there are really ghosts here, all the soldiers who died in Qinchuan back then were soldiers from other countries, so those soldiers who died here should seek revenge from him now.

Qin Xuechuan regained his composure at this moment, and he continued to go up the mountain road.

He didn't hear the sound of fighting together after walking for a long time, but at this moment it was almost dark, and he saw a tall stone monument standing on the top of the mountain against the background of the sun.

The person carrying the stone tablet is Bi Xi, Da Chu pays the most attention to etiquette, if he is not a nobleman, no one else is allowed to use a tombstone of this size.

When Qin Xuechuan saw the tall stone tablet, he ran over quickly.

Xia Guang shined on the stone tablet, Qin Xuechuan took a closer look, but there was nothing written on it.He originally wanted to see more clearly, but when he walked to the stone tablet, he suddenly found a tomb not far away.

How can ordinary tombs have such a big hole? Could it be that there have been tomb robbers here?

Seeing this, Qin Xuechuan walked down the tomb, but what he didn't expect was that the space underneath was quite large.Moreover, the surroundings are all made of blue tiles and stone bricks, and there are many carvings on the stone bricks, which are very suitable for the construction of the tombs of the great Chu nobles.

Besides Xiang Muling's tomb on Qinchuan, who else's?Qin Xuechuan is not very scared at the moment, he has too many doubts in his heart, he just wants to find the answer he wants.

When he first entered the tomb, Qin Xuechuan still felt it was a bit dark, but he had just walked a few steps forward, but at this moment he suddenly noticed a burst of light coming from in front of him...

It stands to reason that the oxygen in the tomb is very thin, so how could there be lights?

Qin Xuechuan frowned, and continued walking in the direction of the light.Just when he felt that he was about to walk halfway through the tomb, he suddenly found that there were lamps on both sides of the tomb, and there was a lamp that was lit every few steps, and the lamp was ordinary lamp oil, not some tomb robbers. The so-called permanent lamp.

Qin Xuechuan saw that these lamp oils could only be burned for a day or two, and when the lamps were completely burned out, the lamps would be extinguished.So he concluded that there were other people in the tomb.

This is a tomb... Who the hell lives here?

It's not a ghost, is it?

Qin Xuechuan was just joking in his heart, but at this moment he felt a little chill behind his back.This... maybe.

So should we keep going?

Just as Qin Xuechuan was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of some insects crawling in the tomb.Qin Xuechuan became vigilant at this moment, he quickly raised his head and looked around, and at this moment he saw an unbelievable scene——

Suddenly, many red, creepy, disgusting bugs appeared on the stone wall of the tomb.Qin Xuechuan suddenly covered his mouth and almost spat out. He had heard of a kind of Gu worms that guarded the tomb chambers. As long as grave robbers entered, those Gu worms would attack until they sucked up all the blood of that person. .

Qin Xuechuan always thought it was a rumor, but he didn't expect to run into it now.At this moment, he retreated in a panic, but on a dark road, he tripped over something and fell to the ground.

When Qin Xuechuan lowered his head to see clearly, the scene on the ground startled him.

Because it was a round skull that tripped him to the ground just now!

Qin Xuechuan was so frightened that he couldn't make a sound. He quickly got up and ran inside. There were still many bones of tomb robbers in the tomb. These bones seemed to have been bitten by something, and finally fell into pieces.

Qin Xuechuan was afraid that he would end up like them, so he ran forward desperately, but the further he ran, he found that the red Gu insects in front of him were gathering more and more, and some even wanted to land on him up.

He suppressed his nausea and took off the cloak he was wearing, then lit it with the fire from the lamp next to him.He used his flaming cloak to drive away those horrible bugs.

The ventilation in the tomb was not very good, and he coughed from the smoke.

The moment he made his voice, he suddenly heard a very deep wolf howl.

Qin Xuechuan was startled at this moment—how is it possible!How could there be wolves in the grave?

At first he thought he had heard it wrong, but when he looked up to the front, he suddenly saw a pair of fluorescent green eyes staring at him viciously in the dark.

Only then did Qin Xuechuan recall the bones scattered around the tomb just now. Those bones showed signs of being bitten by wild beasts. So those people were eaten by these wolves?

Qin Xuechuan stopped moving forward at this moment, he stayed where he was... What was waiting for him was a very hungry wolf, and behind him was a Gu worm that could suck blood...

He never imagined that one day he would be in such a dilemma.Qin Xuechuan stood there in a daze for a while, and the wolf stopped in front of him without taking a step forward.At this moment, Qin Xuechuan sat down as if accepting his fate.

The cloak he lit just now was almost burnt out, and he suddenly raised his head: "You may not understand what I said, but I can warn you, I have been sick since I was a child, and the meat doesn't taste good."

As soon as the words fell, he closed his eyes, and at this moment he heard the wolf rushing towards him.Qin Xuechuan tightly closed his eyes, he hoped that he would forget the death and pain, but he waited for a long time.

What surprised him even more was that what he waited for was not the wolf that brutally bit off his neck.The wolf suddenly licked his face like a good dog.

Qin Xuechuan opened his eyes at this moment. He also killed people before... As for the wolf that ate people, he is not so hard to accept.He looked up at the wolf, and the ferocity of the wolf seemed to have disappeared at that moment.

Qin Xuechuan froze for a moment, then the wolf turned around as if to lead him the way.

Qin Xuechuan glanced back, he thought it would be better to follow this wolf to the front than to be sucked dry by those disgusting insects.Anyway, the wolf didn't hurt him just now.

Qin Xuechuan followed it while thinking about it.

***

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Qin Xuechuan suddenly felt that the light in front of him was even more dazzling. He followed the wolf to the cave with the white jade coffin.Qin Xuechuan seemed to remember something at this moment...

No wonder, the structure here gave him a familiar feeling, this kind of building seemed to be in the dungeon of the Eastern Palace.

Just when he was in a daze, the wolf that brought him to this place bit the hem of his clothes, as if trying to drag him somewhere.

Qin Xuechuan came back to his senses and followed it to the front.In the end, Qin Xuechuan stopped in front of the white jade coffin.

He froze for a moment, then frowned and looked at the wolf: "Do you mean to ask me to open it?"

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-oooo" wolf.

As soon as the wolf's voice fell, countless wolves hiding in the tomb also ran out from behind one after another...

It turned out that there was a litter of wolves raised here, but there was no food in the tomb, and the few tomb robbers who broke in were not enough to feed the wolves, but the wolves looked fat and fat. Strong.

Qin Xuechuan was pulled out of his thoughts again, those wolves seemed to be watching him, as if they were going to pounce on him and eat him if he didn't pay attention.

Qin Xuechuan had never done such a thing as opening someone else's coffin, and what he was about to open was the biological mother of this body.

It was really difficult for him to do it, and with his strength, he might not be able to open such a heavy white jade coffin lid.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo--" at this moment, the wolves beside him howled a few more times, and they came up and grabbed Qin Xuechuan's clothes.

He didn't know why these wolves were so obsessed with asking him to open the coffin lid, he walked slowly to the coffin at this moment, and then pushed the coffin lid forward very hard.

No... With his current strength, he couldn't push it at all.

Qin Xuechuan shook his head at the wolves: "Don't bite my clothes, I tried my best, I can't push them."

At this time, the leading wolf continued to bite his clothes and pulled him to the high platform where the white jade sarcophagus was placed. Qin Xuechuan was stunned for a moment, and then he found a thing like a dick.

At this moment, he was puzzled: No way, is there any mechanism in this world?

Qin Xuechuan bent down and twisted it casually a few times just like how he played with toys when he was a child.This □□ is carved with bluestone, there are three layers in total, and each layer seems to be carved with different things, just like a combination lock.

To his surprise, he casually twisted the lid of the white jade coffin a few times and it opened by itself.

Qin Xuechuan was stunned for a while, then got up and looked into the coffin.It's just that he didn't dare to look directly at the person who had been dead for so long, so he closed his eyes tightly, and slowly opened them when he walked in front of the coffin, but something even more unexpected happened to him...

There was no one in the coffin!

Seeing this, Qin Xuechuan quickly ran to the coffin. He picked up the coffin to see that there was indeed nothing in the coffin, except for a silvery-white luminous pearl.At this moment, he found a key on the jade pillow of the coffin, and he picked up the key when he saw it.

Just when he was about to turn around and go down, he suddenly heard the howling of a wolf, followed by a woman's scream: "Who are you? What are you doing?"

Hearing this voice, Qin Xuechuan quickly raised his head, and he saw that woman was wearing a embroidered skirt that was only available in the palace, and the skirt she was wearing was already in the style of more than [-] years ago.

Qin Xuechuan panicked for a moment, and he quickly explained: "I...I'm not a tomb robber..."

Before the words finished, the woman suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Your Highness! Is it you, Your Highness?"

Qin Xuechuan was stunned for a moment when he heard the man calling him that. Just as he was in a daze, the woman ran up to him and said, "Your Highness, is that you, Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

Qin Xuechuan stared at her with wide eyes in surprise: "I've never met you before, why do you know Bengong?"

The woman became even happier after hearing this answer: "Your Highness, your eyes are exactly the same as your empress's, so this servant can recognize you at a glance."

After Qin Xuechuan heard her say this: "Is the empress you are talking about my biological mother, Concubine Xiang?"

She continued to answer: "Your Highness is wise! Exactly, the servant's name is Qingque, which is the name given to the servant by the empress."

"Then why are you here?"

Qing Que continued, looking at the coffin that had been opened behind her: "Because I promised my mother that I would guard her tomb for the rest of my life, and my maid saved my life, so this servant is willing."

Qin Xuechuan thought for a long time after hearing her words, and finally asked: "Then do you know what happened to those red bugs and these wolves in the tomb?"

Qing Que seemed to have guessed that he would ask such a question a long time ago, she replied unhurriedly: "Your Highness, those are all Gu, specially used to prevent tomb robbers, as long as outsiders break in here without permission, his The flesh and blood will definitely be devoured by those worms. Those Gu worms were fed by the empress herself before she was alive, so they will never hurt His Highness, and these wolves were also raised by the empress, the purpose is to guard this place."

Qin Xuechuan was dumbfounded after hearing his answer: "You mean... everything here is arranged by my mother?"

Qingque replied: "Your Highness, yes!"

No wonder... No wonder when he walked over just now, those bugs landed on him but didn't suck his blood, and these wolves seemed very close to him, so it was all because of Concubine Xiang.

But at this moment, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind, as if he had figured out something, he quickly looked at Qing Que and continued to ask: "You mean my mother can use blood to nourish Gu worms?"

Qing Que replied: "Yes, the empress is from Southern Xinjiang. She grew up in Southern Xinjiang since she was a child. She is more familiar with Gu insects than people."

When Qing Que said this, Qin Xuechuan didn't understand. He frowned tightly: "My mother grew up in Southern Xinjiang? She was sent to the palace and became a concubine."

Qing Que continued to reply: "Your Highness, the empress once told the maidservant that she knew that you would come here one day sooner or later. So she specially told the maidservant to tell you the truth of everything when you arrive."

"The truth?" Qin Xuechuan frowned in confusion.

Qing Que continued: "Your Highness, please be calm and don't be impatient. This servant will tell you everything - in fact, the empress is not the prince's own sister, but the righteous daughter brought back by the old prince from southern Xinjiang. Because the old prince has only the prince under his knees." A son, in order to have someone to restrain the emperor in the palace in the future, so the old prince called the empress his biological daughter."

Qin Xuechuan suddenly widened his eyes in surprise when he heard her say this: "Old prince? But old Nanling King, my uncle's father?"

Qing Que nodded after hearing it: "Exactly!"

She continued: "Your Majesty entered the Nanling Palace at the age of seven. She has been childhood sweethearts with the prince since she was a child. The relationship between the prince and the empress has always been very good. Since the incident of the empress' marriage, the prince has cherished the empress even more. The empress also likes the prince very much..."

When Qin Xuechuan heard what she said, he froze for a moment. He felt that his three views had been subverted at the moment, and he quickly asked: "That...you mean that my mother likes my uncle?"

Qing Que saw how excited he was, so she said: "Your Highness... the servant girl explained to you just now that the empress and the prince are not related by blood. The empress and the prince are in love with each other."

Qin Xuechuan was greatly shocked when he heard the words "two love each other".But what Xianglu once told him was that Xiang Muling married the emperor because she fell in love with the emperor. What is going on?

"But how did my mother and concubine enter the palace?"

After hearing Qin Xuechuan's question, Qing Que said again: "This servant doesn't know. The servant was with the empress when she was very young. As for the matter of the empress at that time, she knew very little about it, and these things were told to the servant by the empress herself. The maidservant sees that the empress is so depressed and sad every day when she is married into the palace, so she also feels very sad, and hopes that the empress can walk out of the palace one day."

"So my mother didn't marry into the palace willingly?"

Qing Que said: "At that time, the maidservant and Qingyu were the bride's dowry maids. On the day of the maiden's wedding, the slave servant faintly heard that the maidservant said a word to the prince."

After Qin Xuechuan heard what she said, he quickly asked, "What are you talking about?"

Qingque replied: "Your Majesty said, I will cut off my friendship with the prince from now on."

Qin Xuechuan was stunned for a long time after hearing this. If a woman can say such decisive words, that person must have broken her heart.

"Since then, has my mother still had contact with my uncle?"

Qing Que said again at this moment: "Since the empress has been in the palace for a while, one day she suddenly figured it out and told the servant that she wanted to see the prince, and then the empress pretended to be a slave and left the palace to stay outside for a day One night. At that time, although the Empress had little relationship with His Majesty, His Majesty loved Empress since she was a child. Since Empress married into the palace, Her Majesty regarded her as a treasure and was willing to accommodate Her Majesty in everything. At that time, Her Majesty was still young, so he insisted on The ministers were worried that the power of the Nanling family would threaten the imperial power, so they strongly opposed the idea of ​​making the empress who had just married into the palace a short time ago. Your Majesty has a deep affection for the empress, so he has never made an empress in his life."

No wonder Qin Yuan didn't have a queen, and there was never any rumor of a queen in the imperial city.It turned out to be like this...

"The servant girl only knows that after returning from the Nanling Palace, the empress has become very gentle and courteous towards your majesty, which is uncharacteristic. Later, your majesty and the empress are very affectionate, and the empress is pregnant with your majesty's flesh and blood, which is your highness the crown prince."

After hearing what she said, Qin Xuechuan seemed to know something important. Even an idiot could tell that Qin Xuechuan, as the crown prince, had a disputed royal lineage.

"What happened after that? How was my mother? And...someone said that someone had planted Gu in my body, do you know all of this?"

Qing Que replied: "Your Highness... Your Majesty has told the servants that if His Highness does not have the determination to unify the world, they must never tell His Highness about this matter."

Unify the world?Qin Xuechuan remembered that Xianglu had also told him this, and that Xianglu and Qin Yuan, two men who stood at the pinnacle of power, seemed to be very obsessed with Xiangmuling and believed her abnormally.

"Well... I will fulfill my concubine's last wish, no matter what I hear from you, I will not be impulsive."

After hearing this, Qing Que bowed to Qin Xuechuan again, and she continued: "Later, Your Majesty heard about the anecdote between the empress and the prince, and gradually began to doubt whether there was an affair between the empress and the prince. So On that day, His Majesty's suspicion broke out, and he summoned Niangniang to his hall to do a blood test."

Sure enough...it really is like this!

Qin Xuechuan couldn't believe that such a bloody thing would happen to him, he continued to look at Qing Que and asked: "Then... what is the result of the blood test?"

"Your Majesty, the reason why His Majesty insisted on a blood test is because Concubine Shu secretly colluded with the palace people to frame the empress and the prince. Naturally, His Majesty did not believe it at first. His Majesty has loved Empress for many years, so naturally he would not listen to other people's one-sided words. , but at this moment something happened..."
