When the Empress Tan Tai Zijun wants to take action, the efficiency of the entire palace can reach an extremely high speed.
Ten minutes later, Ji Huangzhen, a senior female official beside Empress Dowager Li Fengen, left the palace in stealth with a team of royal secret guards wearing second-generation mechas.
Everyone is in invisible mode and no one knows who is who.
This is also common in the royal family.
Most of the royal family's missions are issued on a temporary basis, and the personnel are randomly assembled. The purpose is that even if there is a traitor, the news cannot be passed on too early so that people outside can be prepared.
The Empress Tan Tai Zijun was now disguised as a royal secret guard, following the senior female official Ji Huangzhen.
Ji Huangzhen said to the group of secret guards, "Your Majesty is about to send troops. The Empress Dowager has been unable to sleep at night these past few days. Whenever she closes her eyes, she has nightmares."
"Yesterday, the late emperor appeared in my dream and said he had something to say to the Empress Dowager."
"The Empress Dowager woke up this morning feeling ill, and she specifically asked me to go to the Imperial Mausoleum, burn incense for the late Emperor, and then cast a fortune to inquire about the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of Your Majesty's military expedition."
That being said, they have a lot to do.
But this was all Ji Huangzhen's business. The royal guards who followed her were there to protect her.
The royal guards were all in high spirits.
And not only they are going, but also the clan leader Tan Tai Qing from the clan affairs office will go with them.
Because the key to the imperial tomb is in his hands.
…
The imperial tomb of the Tantai clan is located in a continuous mountain range outside the imperial capital of Beichen Star.
This mountain was named "Xuyuan Sunset" by the founding emperor.
Because there is a huge abyss deep in the mountain.
Every day at sunset, when the last ray of sunlight shines through, the imperial tomb appears.
When the Empress Tan Tai Zijun thought of this name, she felt very complicated.
She now knew that "Xuyuan" was not a name given by her ancestor Tan Tai Lin, but a real place name.
They used second-generation mechas as their means of transportation, which were faster than ordinary aircraft.
After driving at full speed, it only took five minutes to arrive at the imperial tomb in the suburbs.
On the surface, this is just a hill made of gray rocks.
But as long as you get closer, from a given angle, at the best moment when light and shadow change, a large building structure will slowly emerge from the hills, as if descending from the dark starry sky.
Seen from above, the entire imperial mausoleum looks like a door open to the void.
It is huge and deep, with a diameter of more than tens of kilometers.
At the top of the imperial mausoleum is a flat four-sided sky with tens of thousands of thin chains hanging from the edge.
Each chain penetrates deep into the crust of the mountain, as if worried that the entire imperial mausoleum will ascend to heaven.
Every side of the chain is carved with crooked lines, like some ancient language, or some abstract symbols, carrying unknown meanings, eroded by the years, and whispering in the wind and sand.
Right in front of the imperial mausoleum stands a giant sword, which is the sword monument.
Engraved on it are countless faces of the founding emperor Tan Tai Lin.
They are clearly all of him, but upon closer inspection, none of them are alike.
Some of them are extremely beautiful, some are ordinary, and some are even ugly.
Only the face in the middle with a prominent hooked nose is the most familiar to everyone.
This is also the face that appears in all formal occasions and textbooks of the Beichen Empire.
All the people of the Beichen Empire are familiar with this face.
On the sword monument, in the middle of all the faces of Tan Tai Lin, there is a huge black eye carved.
It was unknown what material the eyes were made of. They were so dark that it was bottomless, as if they were a completely non-existent space, like a black hole. Anything that came close would be swallowed up instantly.
And if anyone dares to stare into this black eye for a long time, they will see in the depths of the darkness a man with an immortal appearance, a flowing white robe, and three strands of beard, who seems to be twirling his beard and smiling.
Behind the sword monument, the tall imperial tomb stands tall, with no end in sight.
There is no connection to the star network here, and the radar data here is extremely chaotic. Even the time is slightly misaligned, as if in the gravitational waves that are looming around the imperial tomb.
Some people can even occasionally see what happens seconds later.
It's like a big quantum mechanics mausoleum.
It's even weirder than the magnetic field in the Strange Beast Forest.
Empress Tan Tai Zijun looked at the imperial mausoleum silently, her mood was completely different from when she first came here.
At that time, she was so nervous that she didn't even have the energy to watch what was happening here.
When she came here again, she realized that there were many places she had missed before.
For example, on the sword monument, among all the black eyes surrounded by Tan Tai Lin's face, there was the fleeting figure of a man.
What is it?
Is this also the face of their Tan Tai clan's ancestor Tan Tai Lin?
However, this thought only flashed through her mind and then disappeared.
She was only thinking about the mark of inheritance now. As long as she had the mark of inheritance, the powerful will deep under the palace would be at her disposal!
The Empress Tan Tai Zijun suppressed her excitement and stood motionless beside Ji Huangzhen.
Ji Huangzhen was familiar with these etiquette.
She asked people to offer sacrifices at the gate of the imperial mausoleum first.
Those are some rare animals from the Exotic Beast Forest.
Soon, a black mist surged out from the imperial tomb and swept towards the animals.
Unfortunately, no one else can see this black fog, including the Empress Tan Tai Zijun.
