Chapter 13 The Past
Sun Shengan had been with him for so many years that he knew exactly what Xie Chengyan was thinking. If the prisoners were to kneel down and beg him for a life, crying and telling him everything they knew, he would be skeptical. But if the prisoners were tortured beyond recognition, then what they said would be the real truth.
Hearing Sun Shengan's words, he slowly stood up and said, "I don't have much time left. I have to return to the capital before they go back to the palace. I'll go to the royal mausoleum now."
He turned around and was about to go outside. Swift and decisive was his style, but...
Sun Shengan glanced at the dazed Yan Su and asked, "Where is she? Killed?"
Xie Chengyan had already walked to the door. Hearing Sun Shengan's question, he replied, "Don't kill her. Just keep an eye on her. She knows more than those two little thieves."
With a greeting, the jailer outside the door was called in. Three or two people untied the chains that bound Yan Su and took the unconscious Yan Su away.
The Nanyang Royal Mausoleum was not far from the government office, so the two men rode their horses to the mausoleum.
At the same time, Ye Lanzhou and Zhang Qiyue also arrived at the royal tomb.
Red Blood Vine is very particular about the climate. The north is dry, so Red Blood Vine is easy to dry up. The south is humid, so Red Blood Vine is easily disturbed by moisture and loses its medicinal properties.
Only in Nanyang, which is neither north nor south but located in the most central area of Dayin Kingdom, can it grow.
During the reign of Emperor Yin Jing, the southern barbarians invaded the Central Plains and attacked the then capital Nanyang from the southern border.
An imperial edict allowing the emperor to move to Shangjing arrived at the Ye Mansion, and everyone in the Ye Mansion was relieved. Nanyang had fallen, and staying in Nanyang would be fatal.
Going to Beijing is different. His Majesty allowed them to go to Beijing, which gave the Ye family a way out.
That day, the people in the Ye Mansion didn't even pack their things. They only took their gold and silver jewelry and set off for Shangjing with Emperor Yin Jing.
The people in the courtyard thought they had informed everyone, but they didn't expect that Ye Lanzhou and her biological mother Qin were missed.
The two of them lived in a wing room near the back garden, which was already remote. In addition, Ye Lanzhou caught a cold that day and went to bed early. Qin happened to be out looking for medicine for Ye Lanzhou.
Qin was a woman from a medical family in Nanyang. Unfortunately, her family fell into poverty and her status was not respectable in the Ye Mansion. Although Ye Lanzhou's surname was Ye, she received almost no care. In addition, there was war at the time and medicine was in short supply. Even though she was sick, the Ye Mansion was unwilling to give her medicine.
Qin took a risk and went out to look for medicine despite the war.
However, she didn't expect that the Ye Mansion was deserted. She ran back to her residence and found that her daughter was still there. For a moment, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Ye Lanzhou clearly remembered that the medicine his mother went out to find that day was the red blood vine used to promote blood circulation.
The tomb of Emperor Yinguo was built in a novel way, with a backrest and a hollow structure.
When people enter the mausoleum through the main gate, they can only see the bottom of the tombstone. Above it is a mountain that has been carved out, and in the center stands a huge tombstone with words engraved on it.
Ye Lanzhou couldn't figure out what it meant. He had only heard from others before that it seemed to be an achievement made during the emperor's reign.
She had no interest in dwelling on these achievements. She had received little education in the Ye Mansion, and after leaving, her lifestyle had become even more commonplace. Great undertakings, the country, and the people were too far away for her. Now, she only wanted to create an antidote for the Gelsemium elegans, a chance to survive.
My mother said that the thing was born on top of the Nanyang Royal Tomb.
Just as she raised her head, an arrow broke the silence in the royal mausoleum and flew towards Ye Lanzhou.
