Chapter 478 Secret



In the 23rd year of Xuande, Crown Prince Yuan rebelled, killed his father and brother, blood flowed like a river, and the people were in mourning.

The crown prince ascended the throne and was named Mingxi.

The emperor is crazy and often sheds tears of blood; the emperor is insane and often talks about my son.

Every court official was in danger, and the people were trembling with fear.

At that moment, rumors started to spread.

"The emperor has lost his most precious treasure. Whoever can find it will end this hell on earth."

Under high pressure, treasure hunters ride the wind and go forward, hoping to find the treasure for the emperor, be granted titles of nobility and become prime minister, and enjoy wealth and honor forever.

At three o'clock in the morning, in a place with strange rocks, a group of people chasing treasures were chasing each other, but suddenly they missed their step and fell into the valley.

"My ass—"

"The treasure hasn't been found yet, and my brother's life is half gone."

The leader had his head scratched by a dead branch and was cursing while covering his head.

Several people supported each other and limped towards a way to survive under the dim moonlight.

"What a horrible place this is! The group of people chasing us are nowhere to be found."

"But this way your life will be saved." A man smiled and took out a jade hairpin from his bosom and wiped it in the moonlight.

"If you ask me, regardless of whether His Majesty has lost a treasure or not, it's amazing that he found this thing in the wilderness. Look at its quality. The ones worn by the empress in the palace are no better than this."

"Why, have you seen the Empress? Have you seen the jewelry she wears?"

The person who was choked didn't say anything, but thought in his heart: I have never seen the queen, but everyone knows how many people the emperor has killed. A lot of concubines have died. Maybe they were dragged here and buried?

No one spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet. The wind blew through the grass, and the crows cried softly, making people feel uneasy.

"Brother, this place is so eerie." Someone rubbed his arms and looked around bravely.

His eyes suddenly fixed on one spot, and he patted the arm of the person next to him: "There is golden light over there!"

The high pitch of the voice startled everyone, but they had no time to care at the moment.

Because there were bursts of golden light in front.

The leader no longer covered his head. He swallowed and looked at his brothers on both sides in confusion: "My goodness, are we really going to get bumped into by the brothers?"

Are the rumors true?

He couldn't help but breathe rapidly with excitement. He looked into the distance and saw that the mountains and forests were pitch black.

The golden light is very dazzling.

Wealth and glory are just around the corner.

The leader gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, let's do it!"

Everyone walked towards the golden light with excitement and fear in their hearts. Even though they took only a few steps, it was extremely difficult.

Trees are dense and grass is lush.

The grass could actually cover people's heads. This bizarre sight made everyone believe that there was a treasure.

The golden light shines through the gaps in the grass and is still so bright.

The closer you get, the colder it gets and the lusher the grass becomes.

"Woo-woo-woo-woo-" It sounded like the wailing of an evil ghost, echoing softly in everyone's ears.

The hearts of several people were beating like drums, facing the choice between life and death, poverty and wealth.

In the dead silence, someone shouted, "Since we're here, even if we die, we must know the truth."

After saying that, he rushed forward quickly, letting the grass and trees scratch his body and leave bloody marks.

Everyone was startled, then quickly followed.

Pushing aside layers of grass and trees, several people looked at the absurd and bizarre scene, feeling as if their feet were stuck with nails.

The person was wearing a phoenix crown and a phoenix robe, which was different from the clothing they saw in the portrait. There were layers of golden scales on the phoenix robe, which were constantly emitting golden light.

The woman pulled frantically, but the bridal veil seemed to be stuck to her body and could not be removed.

Everyone watched and thought that she must have done this scene many times.

Because there was a wooden sign next to her, she pulled it twice, cried, and then wrote on it with trembling blood.

The calligraphy was elegant and graceful. There was also someone in the group who had passed the imperial examination. He looked at the wooden plaque and recited each word: "Emperor's eldest grandson Yu, born in accordance with the will of heaven. He has a straightforward temperament, is innocent and pure, and has a graceful demeanor. He was born to soar into the clouds, and a foot-high pine tree will lift him out of the world."

The woman with her back to them seemed to have heard nothing. After smearing herself with blood, she fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

"She, she is the empress dowager!" Someone listened to the poem and looked at her clothes carefully, and suddenly remembered the notice posted in the capital saying that His Majesty was looking for the empress dowager.

But the Queen Mother has been missing for three months. How did she survive in this desolate wilderness, looking so crazy?

Everyone was struck by lightning, and their eyes were all fixed on the bridal veil.

Literati are thoughtful.

The scholar squatted on the ground, holding his head, thinking again and again, and looking at the shawl again and again.

As if he knew something, he suddenly stood up, pointed at the golden light, and said blankly, "Ah, the emperor's eldest grandson."

The royal family often refers to themselves as dragons: the prince is called a python, the crown prince is called a dragon, and Your Majesty is called a five-clawed golden dragon.

As if he knew some secret, the scholar raised his foot and wanted to run away.

But the dazed Wen Yunyu turned around and said, "You know Yu'er."
