The early winter wind blew to the border. In the valley where the cold wind was blowing, a young man rolled up his sleeves, picked up a shovel and dug the soil frantically.
He had dug a hole in the ground, and both sides were filled with freshly turned soil, but he kept digging in the middle.
Finally, he...dug himself to pieces.
"Ah, why am I doing this?"
Yun Jian was so angry that he smashed the shovel on the ground. The shovel bounced back and hit his calf directly, causing him to cry out in pain.
"Ahh, Your Majesty is such a bully!"
This is the valley outside Yizhou City. It has been more than a month since the empress left Yizhou.
The empress saved Feng Yin, but Feng Yin was too deeply poisoned and even the imperial physicians were unable to save him. It was unknown where the empress got a folk remedy from, but after giving Feng Yin the medicine, she had him put in a coffin and buried on the spot.
The empress said that Feng Yin was now in a state of suspended animation and needed to be buried in the ground so that the medicine could decompose the toxins in his body.
As long as the time comes and he is dug out, he will be able to come back to life.
The empress only told Yun Jian about this matter, and asked him to stay in Yizhou and dig the grave when the time came.
Yun Jian reasonably suspected that the empress was taking revenge on him for questioning her identity.
No, how can an empress be so stingy?
Also, it's been forty-nine days. Are you sure the person dug out is still alive and not just a pile of bones?
Huh...Thinking of this, Yun Jian suddenly started to feel uneasy.
Although the person buried underneath was his cousin, his relationship with his cousin was not so "explicit".
It's a bit too presumptuous to dig it out after it's been dead for so many days.
Or maybe we should just stop digging?
Suddenly a cold wind blew, and Yun Jian's hair stood on end.
"Eh~~~ Cousin... Cousin, I didn't mean to disturb you. It was the Empress' order."
"Cousin, don't scare me. I forgot to prepare anything. Next time I'll bring you some incense, candles, and paper money..."
It was only because the empress said Feng Yin was not dead that he dared to come and dig.
If I had known he was coming, I would have bought some paper money and snacks so that he would have felt more confident when his cousin "appeared".
Yun Jian grabbed the shovel and looked at the yellow soil under his feet. He really didn't want to dig anymore.
Otherwise, just fill it back in?
He hesitated and shoveled twice more, but ended up shoveling into wood.
The unpainted, log coffin lid was exposed.
"Gurgle!"
Yun Jian swallowed deeply and was so frightened that his whole body froze and he dared not move.
Why did he have to go through such a test?
He is still young and hasn’t married yet?
"Cousin...cousin, are you there?"
"Cousin, please make a sound~~~~"
Yun Jian had just finished speaking when he scared himself.
There is a coffin underneath. If there really is a sound inside the coffin, how can we be sure it is a person?
Yun Jian was so upset that he wanted to cry, but he was so scared that his legs were shaking, but he managed to hold back and not run away.
Trembling, he used a shovel to dig up the soil on top, revealing the entire coffin lid.
Just when he was so busy that he almost forgot his fear, his feet suddenly shook and a "bang" sound came from the coffin.
Yun Jian felt as if an electric shock had passed through his body. He was completely stiff and dared not move, his expression frozen.
"Bang!"
Another sound, extremely clear.
“Ahhh!!!”
Yun Jian threw away the shovel and ran outside frantically. Although his hands and feet seemed stiff, he climbed up a tree not far ahead very agilely, and then met the silver-armored guards who were squatting on the tree. They were caught off guard and looked at each other in surprise.
Yun Jian knew him, as he had been with the empress.
When he saw an acquaintance, Yun Jian was no longer afraid. He calmed down and regained his rationality.
This person's appearance here must have been arranged by the Empress.
In that case, my cousin might not really be dead.
But my cousin is not dead, and the empress has arranged people. Why did the empress say that only he can come to dig and cannot tell anyone else?
Yun Jian stared at the silver-armored guard in front of him, as if wanting to see the answer from his face.
Was it the Empress? Was she deliberately trying to trick him and scare him?
Definitely! Definitely!
How could the Empress be so mean? She's such a bully!
The Silver-Armored Guard turned his head away in disdain. They took turns guarding here. Yun Jian had not arrived yet when he came, so they all saw Yun Jian starting to dig the soil.
The guy who didn't dig up anything but was almost scared to pee was so cowardly that it was unbearable to watch.
Yun Jian was so angry that he wanted to find the Silver Armor Guard to argue, but the Silver Armor Guard suddenly jumped down from the tree.
The tree next to it also trembled, and soon more than a dozen people came down.
A dozen silver-armored guards...
At one point, Yun Jian felt as if the sky was falling.
No, that means that he was digging there with a grunt and was screaming in fear, and all of this was seen by these dozen people?
The light in Yun Jian's eyes disappeared in an instant.
Then I saw them go to the edge of the pit together and quickly dig out the coffin.
Yun Jian was not afraid of the coffin at all now: his cousin was about to get up anyway, so he might as well wait for him to lie down and then bury him!
The Silver Armored Guards were very quick. They dug out the coffin and carried it to a place with shade under the trees.
There was no ceremony. They just lifted the coffin lid and the person inside sat up.
Yun Jian paused and told himself in his heart: Don’t be afraid!
In fact, his steps were stiff and he couldn't move at all.
Yun Jian heard the knocking sound on the coffin, which was made by Feng Yin when he woke up. He found himself buried in the coffin and was filled with panic. Now that he was rescued and breathing fresh air, he was still a little panicked.
