EBE Chapter 1025 Verification
Chapter 1025 Verification
Xiao Zhan frowned, feeling that he should not have let Yun Zhen go at the beginning, so as not to disturb her mind, especially when she was pregnant.
"I know this sounds ridiculous, but I can't give up on that possibility. Yun Che, come with me to verify it, okay?"
Xiao Zhan sighed and softened, knowing that if he didn't agree to her, it would become her eternal regret: "Xiaoxue, how do you want to verify it?"
No matter how absurd this matter is, he will accompany her.
“I have asked Qingming to find the craftsman who built my brother’s tomb. We should be able to get the method to enter the tomb from him.
If we find that the emperor's body is still inside, then Yun Zhen is lying to me and this person can no longer stay. But if the body is not there, we may consider believing his words. "
If there really is a chance for Jiang Ke to be reborn, she is willing to try her best.
Xiao Zhan stroked her cheek: "I'll go with you."
He thought that she might be too troubled by this matter and decided to help her resolve it.
Jiang Xue snuggled in his arms: "Yun Che, you are so nice."
She knew that her current behavior was a little unreasonable, but he was still willing to stay by her side. How could she not be moved?
"Xiaoxue, don't think too much and have a good rest tonight."
"Ok."
The next morning, Qingming arrived with a craftsman named Guo Ziming. He immediately knelt in front of Jiang Xue, his head lowered, his body trembling slightly, and it was obvious that he was filled with fear.
"Look up and look at me." Jiang Xue ordered.
Guo Ziming had no choice but to muster up the courage to look up at Jiang Xue, his eyes full of fear.
He once miraculously escaped from Jiang Ke's tomb and spent so many years in peace, but today it seems that he can't escape.
Jiang Xue spoke slowly: "You are still alive, which means there is a way out in my brother's tomb, right?"
Guo Ziming was terrified: "Princess, please spare my life, Princess, please spare my life..."
"As long as you lead us into the mausoleum, we can survive." Jiang Xue said.
Guo Ziming was shocked, but he saw that Jiang Xue was not lying, so he agreed immediately. As the regent princess, her words undoubtedly had great authority.
With Guo Ziming's leadership, Jiang Xue, Xiao Zhan and others easily avoided the mechanisms and poisonous gases in the mausoleum and moved forward smoothly.
However, when approaching the main tomb chamber, Jiang Xue suddenly stopped.
Xiao Zhan held her hand tightly: "Xiaoxue, I will always be by your side." He knew how complicated her mood was at the moment.
Jiang Xue took a deep breath: "I know."
In fact, the worst case scenario is that it is confirmed that the body lying in the coffin is Jiang Ke's, proving that Yun Zhen lied.
This was a fact she had known for more than a decade and it was not difficult to accept.
After entering the main tomb chamber, four huge night pearls illuminate the surroundings, and the huge coffin in the center comes into view.
Although the outer lid of the sarcophagus was still closed, it had obviously been moved, which made Jiang Xue's heart suddenly tighten.
As the eldest son of the previous emperor, Jiang Ke's coffin was divided into three layers: a stone coffin, a golden nanmu coffin, and a jade coffin. The warmth of jade, combined with special spices, can preserve the body for a long time.
Jiang Xue gritted her teeth and said, "Fudong, open the coffin."
Xiao Zhan felt the slight sweat in her hands and knew that she was extremely nervous. At this moment, nothing he said would help, so he could only hold her hand tightly to make her feel supported.
As the stone coffin, the golden nanmu coffin lid, and finally the jade coffin lid were opened one after another, Fu Dong's face instantly became gloomy: "Your Highness, this jade coffin is full of jade, nothing else."
This is simply unbelievable. Even if Jiang Ke's body had decayed, there should at least be some hair or bones left. How could there be no trace at all?
Could it be that what Yun Zhen said was true, and his body belonged to the late Crown Prince?
The idea itself is shocking enough.
After hearing the news, Jiang Xue walked quickly towards the jade coffin and found that there was nothing else inside except full of jade.
Her mood suddenly became complicated, and it was difficult to tell whether she was happy or sad.
"Go back to the palace immediately. I want to see Yun Zhen."
Since it was certain that Jiang Ke's body was not in the imperial mausoleum, she decided to find Yun Zhen to find out the truth.
Xiao Zhan followed closely behind her and accompanied her on the carriage back to the city.
He gently held her in his arms and asked softly, "Xiaoxue, what are you thinking about?"
She replied: "I am thinking about my father, mother and brother, so I am confused."
"Since you are upset, stop thinking about it and listen to me!" Xiao Zhan said.
"Hmm? Yun Che, what do you want to say?" Jiang Xue looked up at him.
"The fact that your elder brother's body was not found in the imperial mausoleum today may prove that Yun Zhen was not lying. But..."
He paused and looked into her eyes: "Since we can find the way out, others may be able to find it too.
If Yun Zhen is well prepared, he will make sure that all the clues he can find disappear. Therefore, no matter what he says later, we should remain skeptical. "
"I understand."
Jiang Xue responded in a low voice: "Yun Che, although my heart is in turmoil, I am not confused."
Xiao Zhan believed her words. If she didn't even have this little self-control, wouldn't all these years as the regent princess have been in vain?
However, he knew that no matter what the truth was, her future choices would not be easy.
When he saw Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan, Yun Zhen seemed a little surprised, but quickly regained his composure.
They chose to visit during the New Year, probably because they had new thoughts about previous events.
Yun Zhen smiled slightly and said, "I'm really sorry that I couldn't prepare a cup of hot tea for you, Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Prime Minister, who visited me today."
Xiao Zhan once ordered that only three meals a day be provided, and tea and charcoal fire were naturally a luxury.
Jiang Xue looked straight at him: "I'm not here for tea, but I have something to ask you."
"It's cold and windy outside. Your Highness, the Princess and the Prime Minister, please follow me into the house to discuss in detail."
The three of them entered the house. Xiao Zhan felt the cold air was pressing. Worried that Jiang Xue and the unborn child would be frozen to death, he immediately ordered Fu Dong to bring some charcoal.
Yun Zhen said, "I wonder what advice Her Royal Highness the Princess has for you to come here?"
"Yun Zhen, can you tell me why you have no pulse? Are you alive or dead?"
Yun Zhen smiled slightly: "This body is just a shell, so it naturally has no pulse."
Looking at Jiang Xue's expression, he knew that she was still obsessed with what he had said.
"So you admit that you are dead?"
"I can recall a lot of things and think normally, so I can't be considered dead."
Yun Zhen explained: "To be precise, my soul is attached to the body of the former crown prince, which is why I am who I am now. I am not truly dead, but I am not truly alive either."
Xiao Zhan looked at him coldly and found that his eyes were clear and he didn't seem to be lying.
However, it is unheard of for a soul to possess another person's body.
