Chapter 353: The Tomb is Empty
Xie Yingmian said anxiously, "There might be a trap in the box."
Fu Feng has opened the box.
Hearing this, he immediately threw the box out.
As expected.
The moment the box was opened, the mechanism was triggered and a poison needle flew out of the box.
Zang Song was quick-eyed and quick-handed. When the poison needle flew towards Fufeng, he also released his hidden weapon.
With a crisp collision sound, the poison needle and the hidden weapon fell to the ground together.
Fu Feng's expression was complicated: "There really is a trap."
Zang Song gave him a cold look and said nothing.
Fu Feng suspected that Zang Song despised him, but he had no evidence and scratched his head subconsciously.
"Don't move, stretch out your hand." Xie Yingmian's face was serious.
Fu Feng stopped scratching his head and stretched out his hand, only to find that his fingers had turned black at some point.
His face turned pale: "I'm poisoned?"
Xie Yingmian said: "No, the box is faded."
Fufeng:?
Xie Yingmian poured some water on the handkerchief, and after Fu Feng wiped it, the handkerchief turned black.
Yu Lingye said, "The box is empty."
Xie Yingmian: "Not entirely."
"The box is not what it originally was. Someone has painted it with a strange black dye. Wipe off the black stuff first and then take a look."
Black dye is very special.
They are sealed in coffins and soil all year round and are in an oxygen-deficient state.
After Fu Feng took out the small box, it was oxidized the moment it came into contact with oxygen. In addition, the weather was humid and Fu Feng's hands were sweating from digging graves. Due to these various factors, the black dye was stained on Fu Feng's hands.
It can be said that it was a coincidence that Fufeng was stained with black dye.
To wipe off the black dye, you need a special potion.
The potion is not difficult to prepare.
After Xie Yingmian prepared it, he soaked a handkerchief with the potion and covered the small box with it.
Wait for about a cup of tea before wiping it.
The black dye faded, and the small box slowly revealed its true appearance.
The material of the small box is very expensive but also common, it is made of golden wood.
After wiping off the black color, the original golden color was revealed.
There are some patterns engraved on it.
The pattern is a large tree with a strange shape.
This tree is different from ordinary trees.
Xie Yingmian seemed to be lost in thought: "I think I've seen the big tree pattern on the box somewhere."
She had indeed seen it before, but she couldn't remember where.
Yu Lingye: "In my opinion, the pattern on the box is a girl with long hair like a waterfall."
Xie Yingmian paused.
She turned the box at a different angle.
really.
Viewed from another angle, the pattern on the box becomes a young girl.
Xie Yingmian remembered where she had seen this pattern before.
"I remember now."
"Grand Princess, yes, I have seen this pattern on the Grand Princess."
While treating the eldest princess, she discovered that there was an identical pattern on her chest, which looked different from different angles.
At that time, she was still secretly complaining that the eldest princess's tattoo was quite fashionable.
"Are you sure?" Yu Lingye looked solemn.
"Confirmed." Xie Yingmian said, "The Grand Princess has an identical tattoo on her chest."
"Do you know the origin of this pattern?"
Yu Lingye shook his head.
Xie Yingmian sighed.
The closer we get to the truth, the more people are involved, and the more confusing it becomes.
"The things left by the wet nurse are related to the Grand Princess. Does that also mean that my mother is also related to the Grand Princess?"
"My mother..."
When he said this, Xie Yingmian suddenly stopped.
She looked at Yu Lingye: "Yu Lingye, tell me, could it be that my mother also faked her death?"
When this thought came to her mind, she became excited.
"Come on, let's go back and dig her grave."
Yu Lingye: What a coincidence.
He thought so too.
Xie Jingyun is not dead, the wet nurse may have faked her death, and the key figure Shen Yu may also be alive.
The group rushed back without stopping.
On rainy days, the road is more difficult to walk on.
It was already late at night when we returned to Prince Ling's Mansion.
Many lanterns were lit in Danyue Courtyard.
Because it was going to rain tonight, Yan Qing was afraid that the lanterns would go out, so he specially designed a small umbrella on the lanterns.
There is also a wooden figure of a beautiful woman carved next to the small umbrella.
From a distance, it looks like a beauty holding an umbrella.
Raindrops fell along with the small umbrella.
The drops fell on the stone slabs.
The lights are hazy, the rain is flying and the smoke is swirling. It is a unique experience to listen to the rain and sleep under the lights in the quiet night.
The resentment that Xie Yingmian had felt while rushing on the road disappeared when she saw the strings of beautiful women's lanterns under the umbrellas.
"I really underestimated Yan Qing."
"He's a design genius. I'll have to have a good chat with him when I have time."
She had wanted to build a shower room for a long time.
It's nice to go directly to the hot spring pool to bathe.
But it's very troublesome.
Especially after Yu Lingye started having sex, every time she wanted to take a bath, Yu Lingye would follow her shamelessly.
Most of the time, her bathing routine is from bathing to this and that and then back to bathing.
A bath that should take fifteen minutes to finish is always delayed by one or two hours.
It's unbearable to watch.
It would be much more convenient if the water in the hot spring pool could be brought upwards and turned into a shower mode.
In addition to renovating the shower room, Xie Yingmian also wanted to renovate some other things.
For example, weapons.
For example, bricks used to build city walls.
Xie Yingmian had a premonition that if she and Yu Lingye continued to conduct such a high-profile investigation, they would sooner or later end up fighting the emperor.
Fighting against the emperor means becoming an enemy of the entire Dayu Dynasty.
She must make preparations in advance to make the fiefdom self-sufficient and impregnable.
Daybreak soon arrived.
Xie Yingmian was worried about the grave digging and didn't sleep much.
I got up at daybreak and prepared to dig the grave.
Yan Qing came hurriedly with an invitation: "Princess."
"Someone sent an invitation. The sender didn't say who it was, but only asked his subordinates to make sure it was delivered to you."
Xie Yingmian opened it and took a look.
I was slightly surprised when I saw the signature.
This invitation was sent by the Grand Princess, and the content of the invitation was to invite Xie Yingmian to come over and take her pulse.
They had just found clues related to the Grand Princess in the tomb, and the Grand Princess immediately sent an invitation.
This is too much of a coincidence.
"Did you notice that someone was following us?" Xie Yingmian asked Yu Lingye.
Yu Lingye shook his head.
Zangsong, Fufeng Tianjia and the others were all there, but they were completely unaware. There are only two possibilities.
Either the person following them is much more skilled in martial arts than the three of them.
Or no one is following at all.
He prefers the latter.
Xie Yingmian: "We just discovered that the pattern in the wet nurse's tomb is related to the Grand Princess, and the Grand Princess invited us to an appointment right after. I don't believe it can be such a coincidence."
Yu Lingye said, "Perhaps, the Grand Princess's people are monitoring that tomb."
Xie Yingmian agreed with Yu Lingye's statement.
While digging the grave, there were many farmers working not far away.
They didn't go out of their way to avoid these people, nor did they clear the area.
If someone was monitoring the grave, they would definitely discover their actions.
The invitation did not specify a date.
Xie Yingmian couldn't figure out the Grand Princess's attitude.
She asked Yu Lingye, "What do you think? Should we go dig the grave first or go to the appointment first?"
