Chapter 511 Brother Xiaojing doesn’t want
The tomb passage is dimly lit, intricate, and filled with numerous mechanisms, but Ye Jingzhen, who has been there many times, knows it like the back of his hand.
Ye Jingzhen led the way along the way and soon brought the three of them to the door of the main tomb chamber.
In front of the tall stone door of the main tomb chamber, there are two stone pillars standing on the left and right, supporting the top of the tomb. On the stone pillars are a dragon on the left and a phoenix on the right, coiled on the stone pillars. The carvings are quite delicate and lifelike.
Ye Jingzhen walked forward with ease and opened the locking mechanism with a click. The heavy and huge stone door slowly opened, and a magnificent underground palace appeared before everyone.
In the underground palace, there are ten stone pillars with coiled dragons and phoenixes scattered around, which also support the top of the tomb.
Yun Ran looked at the ten pillars. The dragons and phoenixes coiled on them were even more exquisite than those outside. They were painted with gold and silver paint, and each held a night-shining pearl the size of a baby's head in its mouth.
She had been here last time. There were colored murals painted on the stone walls on both sides of the underground palace. Yun Ran thought about it and looked at the stone wall on the left.
But just one glance and she thought of something.
It seems that the painting on the stone wall over there is not a proper mural!
Returning to the place she had been before, she unconsciously recalled the scene she had accidentally seen last time.
The naked emperor and the virtuous queen hugged each other in various postures...
Uh, cough cough...
Yun Ran quickly looked away, her face flushed.
You can't let your imagination run wild anymore. They are here today for serious business.
She was led by Ye Jingzhen and walked in front, with Ye Cangling and Gao Ziyang following behind them.
The four of them walked along the jade road under their feet, and it took them a while to see the huge coffin.
The coffin was placed on a lotus platform. The platform was very large, with hundreds of lotus petals stacked up one on top of the other, so densely packed that Yun Ran couldn't count them.
And from between these layers of lotus petals, wisps of white steam are constantly coming out, which must be cold air.
At this time, the four people were still dozens of steps away from the coffin and could already feel the temperature here dropping rapidly.
Because of the ten night pearls, the light in the main tomb chamber is much brighter than the tomb passage outside.
Gao Ziyang entered the tomb and stood guard at the door, waiting for the three people.
Ye Jingzhen took Yun Ran and Ye Cangling and continued to walk inside.
As the three of them got closer, they suddenly saw a figure standing next to the huge coffin on the lotus platform.
Yun Ran and Ye Jingzhen knew what it was. Ye Cangling was crazy and probably not conscious yet. But even if he was conscious, he should not be afraid.
Soon he was on the lotus platform. Ye Cangling was still immersed in his own world, muttering something crazily. Even when he saw a wax figure that looked exactly like him, he didn't react much.
She was crying and laughing at the same time, poking the wax figure with her fingers, and then rushing over to hug it. I'm afraid she mistook the wax figure for the late Queen Shuxian, Jiang Nian.
Ye Jingzhen ignored him, skillfully bent the wax figure's fingers and made a gesture.
Then there was a "click" sound, and the golden nanmu wooden coffin opened automatically, revealing the crystal clear ice coffin inside.
When Ye Cangling heard the voice, he subconsciously stopped what he was doing and was roughly pulled over by Ye Jingzhen by the collar.
"Father, this is our mother." Ye Jingzhen said in a cold voice with a blank expression.
Ye Cangling's eyes widened subconsciously, his mouth opened slightly, and he was stunned.
After a moment, Ye Cangling threw himself on the golden nanmu coffin outside, and stretched out his hand tremblingly, as if he wanted to touch the cheek of Jiang Nian lying in the ice coffin.
But he stretched out his hand, then pulled it back, wanting to touch but not daring to.
"Nian Nian... Ah Nian..."
He murmured, "Ah Nian, I'm here to see you. Are you... not angry with me anymore?"
"I asked the imperial kitchen to make your favorite rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice and bamboo rolls. Wake up... wake up."
Yun Ran was held by Ye Jingzhen and stood aside. For some reason, she looked at the old man in a dark green robe with messy hair on his head and suddenly felt a little sorry for him.
"My royal brother said that when my mother gave birth to me, the two of them were having a quarrel." Ye Jingzhen sighed slightly and suddenly spoke.
Yun Ran's breath caught in his throat and he looked up at him.
Ye Jingzhen curled his lips slightly and continued, "During that time, the Queen Mother was somewhat disgusted with seeing the Emperor Father. So when the Queen Mother gave birth, he did not go and hid in his own bedroom, thinking that he would go and coax her with rewards after the Queen Mother gave birth. But..."
However, unexpectedly, Empress Shuxian suffered a heavy hemorrhage. Although Ye Jingzhen was born safely, Empress Shuxian passed away.
Yun Ran sighed and squeezed Ye Jingzhen's hand to comfort her.
No wonder Ye Cangling spent most of his life looking for a way to resurrect Queen Shuxian. He blamed himself too much and must have regretted it to the extreme.
But it was precisely because he felt too much self-blame and regret that he gradually transferred this regret to Ye Jingzhen.
It is believed that Ye Jingzhen was the culprit behind the death of Empress Shuxian.
Next to the crystal coffin, Ye Cangling was still muttering.
Ye Jingzhen stepped forward and stood beside him: "Father, the Queen Mother has passed away."
Ye Cangling's hand that was stroking the lid of the ice coffin suddenly stopped, and he looked up at Ye Jingzhen in disbelief.
"You're talking nonsense! My virtuous queen is clearly tired!"
"Don't disturb her rest. Get out! I want to be alone with her!"
Ye Cangling was furious and stood up and pushed Ye Jingzhen hard.
Ye Jingzhen stood still and said, "My mother passed away when I was born. Have you forgotten?"
Ye Cangling's movements suddenly stopped.
"You asked me and my eldest brother to attack Nanlin and, at the same time, to find some sorcery that could save lives and bring people back to life."
Ye Jingzhen continued, "But Father, I defeated Nanlin, but I didn't find this witchcraft. My mother will never wake up again."
Never...won't wake up again.
These words poured into Ye Cangling's ears like a spell.
His cloudy, old eyes widened as he grabbed Ye Jingzhen's arms with both hands: "Impossible... Impossible, Impossible, Impossible, Impossible!"
"You lied to me! It's all fake! You are lying to me!"
He suddenly became excited, and his eyes turned red.
Ye Jingzhen said nothing, but calmly pulled away his hand that was holding his, walked forward with a cold face, and reached out to grab the mechanism on the ice coffin.
Yun Ran immediately understood what he was going to do and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Xiao Jing! Don't!"
But Ye Jingzhen just paused, bit his lower lip, pulled the trigger, and the lid of the ice coffin slowly opened.
And at the moment the coffin lid was opened, the beautiful woman lying inside with a pretty face, red lips, white teeth and crystal white skin suddenly had her skin turn black and wrinkled.
Soon, not only her cheeks, neck, hands, and exposed skin, but her entire body quickly withered and shriveled, like a blooming peony that withered and decayed in an instant.
Finally, the person lying in the ice coffin who seemed to be just sleeping turned into a shriveled and terrifying corpse.
Ye Cangling stayed where he was.
