Their feelings were beyond what outsiders could understand.
After hearing their explanations, Jiang Bai was even more furious.
Who would allow a venomous insect to bite someone if they confirmed the owner's identity?
Trying to scare people with snakes?
These two are probably both psychopaths.
Without revealing a trace of his thoughts, Jiang Bai closed his eyes tightly as he looked at the two people in front of him.
"Then tell me, where exactly is this place on the map?"
The picture was still hidden in her arms, and it wasn't far from here, following the direction it pointed.
That's why she wasn't too wary of them, and almost got caught off guard.
"Your Highness, this is the mausoleum of the Eldest Princess."
Jiang Bai:? ? ?
"Where do you think this is?"
"It is the mausoleum of the eldest princess."
Xuan Ye's words were unusually serious, indicating that he was not joking.
Jiang Bai, with mixed feelings, stared in disbelief and said, "You mean the location on the map is Her Highness the Princess's mausoleum?"
"good."
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Jiang Bai fell silent.
As the eldest princess of a nation, she had made great contributions to the founding of the country. Logically speaking, she should be buried in the royal ancestral tomb. How could she be buried in such a miasma-filled, desolate place?
"So, all the talk about the deep sibling bond between the Eldest Princess and the Taizu Emperor is a lie?"
"No, Her Highness the Eldest Princess and the founding emperor did indeed have an extremely good relationship."
"Then why is she buried here?"
Xuan Ye and Xuan Yi both fell silent. After a moment, they said, "Because the eldest princess has rebelled."
"They've really rebelled?"
"real."
"Why?"
"The prince consort was not killed by bandits, but assassinated by someone sent by the then Second Prince."
"To be honest, with such a highly skilled force of black-clad guards under her command, didn't the Princess send anyone to protect her husband?"
Their martial arts skills are truly remarkable; at least among the people of this world, each of them can be considered a top-notch expert.
Even if we don't send all of them, sending three or five teams would be enough to ensure the safety of the prince consort.
The two exchanged a glance, hesitating about how to begin.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Jiang Bai narrowed his eyes and guessed, "Could it be that the prince consort has fallen in love with someone else?"
The two remained silent.
"You also want to seize the princess's dowry?"
The two remained silent.
"Wouldn't they be planning to kill the princess's child just to welcome their true love into the family?"
The two looked up in shock, their eyes conveying a clear message: How did you know?
Jiang Bai fell silent.
Some even broke through defenses.
"Is your son-in-law really the head of the Yu family?"
After carefully considering his words, Xuan Ye replied cautiously, "The prince consort is first-rate in both appearance and talent. Since the day of their marriage, he has been deeply in love with the princess. However, when the princess was pregnant with the little prince, he brought back a commoner woman from outside the country for some reason, saying that he and the princess were in love."
"When the princess was about to give birth, the prince consort insisted on marrying her as a secondary wife. When the princess refused, he angrily left with the woman."
Very well, that makes sense. Presumably, the two eloped, and the Second Prince seized the opportunity to kill them.
"Since the prince consort has already betrayed the princess, why would the princess still rebel?"
"It's for the Crown Prince."
Hmm, a new character.
Jiang Bai's mind was in a complete mess. He rubbed his scalp and asked, "Is it really necessary to rebel for the sake of the Crown Prince?"
"Because the Crown Prince was poisoned to death by the Second Prince."
The royals really know how to have fun.
"The Second Prince wanted the military power in the hands of the Eldest Princess. When the Eldest Princess refused, he framed her for treason and wanted to execute the entire Yu family."
"So, the Second Prince isn't the Emperor, so why can he wield absolute power and have the entire family of the Eldest Princess, who made significant contributions to the founding of the dynasty, executed? Where is the Emperor?"
"When the Crown Prince died, Emperor Taizu was so angry that he fell into a coma and the Second Prince took over the reins of government."
"As for treason, it was the prince consort who placed forged letters and tokens in the princess's study and was caught red-handed."
"At that time, the Princess had just given birth to the young master and was still in her postpartum confinement period when she was accused of this crime. So she simply asked us to escort the young master away, while she led her troops in rebellion."
The performance was so wonderful that she didn't know where to begin applauding.
"So, the prince consort fell in love with a commoner woman and wanted to marry her as his concubine, but the princess refused. So he put letters accusing her of treason in her study, and later eloped with the commoner woman. However, he was killed by bandits sent by the second prince to silence her. Is that right or wrong?"
"Young master's guess is absolutely correct."
"No? I think you're way off." Jiang Bai sneered.
The two were puzzled, but saw Jiang Bai stride forward and arrive at the closed mountain.
The guards in black robes carried Xuan Ye forward and turned him around a few times on the rocks of the mountain. The mountain in front of them then opened up to both sides.
Inside, there is a wide-open campsite, bare and bare. If someone were to come and see it, they would just think it was an open-air threshing ground.
Xuan Ye once again directed people to press on several floor tiles in the camp. Soon, a rumbling sound came from the ground, and a temple slowly rose from the cracked ground.
Jiang Bai entered the temple, where there was a statue of a beautiful woman. Upon closer inspection, the statue's eyes were almost identical to hers.
"Please, young master."
Xuan Ye bowed respectfully to the statue and ordered someone to turn the legs of the offering table. The statue in front of him then moved to one side, revealing a downward passage.
Great, this familiar feeling.
Jiang Bai walked in, and before he even reached the tomb of the eldest princess, he saw that the outer stone chamber was filled with countless boxes.
