Although those buried in the tombs here are all ordinary people, digging up their graves is indeed immoral.
When the order was first given, all the soldiers were unwilling to do it.
Most of them are from Kyoto, which means that their dead relatives are buried in the tombs here!
Opening other people's graves is detrimental to one's morality; opening one's ancestors' graves is even more disrespectful.
There were even some ordinary people in the city who rushed to the scene after hearing the news, and they knelt on the ground and begged the defenders not to continue this wrong thing.
But... the people who came from the palace directly executed some young generals and soldiers who raised objections with iron-blooded means!
A clear order was issued that Liangqiu Feiye must be found, alive or dead... As for the others, the emperor only gave a side order to try his best to find them, including Liangqiu Yuzhe.
No one could understand why the emperor insisted on doing so. How much did he value Liangqiu Feiye?
For him alone, the emperor could ignore the people's grievances and commit this serious mistake that would damage his virtue!
No matter how reluctant they were, these soldiers still followed orders and started working. If they didn't, they would be the ones to die.
For three whole days, thousands of Kyoto defenders searched almost the entire cemetery, but they could not find even a single person or corpse.
Liangqiu Feiye and the others were here to explore the tomb that the drunkard had mistakenly entered, which means they might be inside the tomb right now.
When the news came, the defending soldiers stepped up their efforts to find the road leading to the tomb palace, but the result was no change. They couldn't find it no matter how hard they tried.
"General Hou, the whole place has been turned upside down. Are you still looking for it?"
A young general wiped the sweat from his head and ran to the general in charge of finding people and asked.
Hou Shi, who was wearing white armor, sneered when he heard this and grabbed the young general's collar and lifted him up.
"If you don't look for it, are you going to die with me? Keep looking. If one look doesn't work, try twice. If two looks don't work, try three times!"
The young general's forehead was covered with sweat, and he nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, I understand, General!"
When the young general ran away in a hurry, Hou Shi's face turned blue and white, looking extremely ugly.
Ever since the incident happened, the current emperor has assigned him the task of finding Liangqiu Feiye and others, and left a message that if he fails to find them, his entire family will be wiped out.
Hou Shi didn't want to anger the ordinary people of Kyoto, but his family's lives were tied to this!
"General, someone is coming from the palace."
Hou Shi's face darkened and he strode out of the cemetery. He saw a plump eunuch walking towards him with a group of palace guards.
"Why is Eunuch Li here? Does the emperor have any new orders?"
He strode forward and asked in a friendly manner.
"New orders? What new orders? Isn't this just about the Ninth Prince?" Eunuch Li said in a shrill voice, his face showing displeasure. "General Hou, three days have passed, and there's been no progress on your side. The Emperor is getting impatient!"
Hou Shi's expression darkened slightly. "So, why is the eunuch here?"
"Of course the emperor asked us to come and watch over it, so that no one can mess things up!" Eunuch Li snorted and walked into the cemetery with the guards behind him.
Hou Shi was left behind, and after a moment of silence, he turned around and followed him in.
It was indeed his dereliction of duty that he could not find Liangqiu Fei, but it was indeed excessive for the emperor to let a eunuch supervise him.
But at this moment, a young general ran over and shouted, "Found it, found the Ninth Prince!"
Eunuch Li's face lit up immediately, and he quickly went over to meet him. "But is it true?!"
Hou Shi also hurried over, staring at the young general with a pair of fierce eyes, "You know the consequences of deceiving this general!"
The young general shuddered and said fearfully, "It's true, both princes have been found!"
Hou Shi waved his hand hurriedly, "Lead the way!"
The safety of the Ninth Prince concerns the lives of his entire family and cannot be neglected.
"Yes, sir!"
The group moved forward quickly, led by the young general, and finally saw the missing people.
Liangqiu Fei was also sitting on the ground with an ugly look on his face, causing all the soldiers around him to lower their eyes and not dare to approach.
Liangqiu Yuzhe stayed by his side, staring at his brother's pale face, filled with worry. He wanted to ask something but didn't know where to start.
He wanted to know what had happened to his brother in those three days, whether the female corpse had troubled him, and why those horrible things... would let them go.
After his brother was thrown into the jade coffin by the female corpse, he was already in despair and even thought that he would never see his brother again.
I wanted to go with them to avoid being scared by the female ghosts, but the female corpse left an order!
He was thrown into a closed palace, and the woman called Huai Ji stared at him. He couldn't even die!
I never thought that I would be able to come out of the tomb palace one day and see my brother...
Except for these two people, the other missing people were now lying on the ground, already dead!
When Eunuch Li saw Liangqiu Feiye, he hurried over with his whisk in hand, a smile spreading across his face. "Oh, I knew it. Your Highness the Ninth Prince is blessed with great fortune, and nothing will happen to him!"
While shouting, Eunuch Li rushed over and wanted to help Liangqiu Fei, who was sitting on the ground, up. "Your Highness, you don't know that during the days you were missing, the emperor was very worried..."
“Bang!”
Before Eunuch Li could finish his words, Liangqiu Fei slapped him in the face with his sleeve.
Liangqiu Fei glanced over coldly, and her voice was filled with coldness, "Get lost!"
Eunuch Li's face turned pale, but he still maintained a respectful tone and said with a smile, "This servant will leave immediately. Your Highness, please don't make a fuss. You must not get yourself hurt by anger."
As he said this, he fell to the ground in the mud and rolled a long distance away.
Those who were close to the emperor all knew clearly that the emperor's favor towards the ninth prince was unprecedented!
Therefore, if you please Liangqiu Feiye, your future path will be much easier!
Seeing Eunuch Li actually roll out to please his brother, Liangqiu Yuzhe was silent for a while. This behavior was really a bit exaggerated...
Standing up, Liangqiu Yuzhe reached out to support his brother, and said with concern, "Ninth brother, let's go back. You can't delay in your current condition."
But Liang Qiu Fei ignored all this, staring straight ahead with his eyes and clenching his right fist, as if he was suppressing something.
"Ninth Brother?" Liangqiu Yuzhe looked over in confusion, but saw nothing.
Liang Qiufei also closed her eyes, then opened them again, her expression returning to calm. "...It's okay, let's go back!"
Standing up with the help of his brother, Liang Qiufei also dragged his tired body and took a step forward.
What everyone couldn't see was the terrible looking female corpse lying on Liangqiu Feiye's back, soundly sleeping...
