Lin Xilan wiped the blood off her face.

He left the house calmly.

look around.

She found that she was in a very remote place. In this courtyard, except for the house she had just been to, the rest of the place was like hell.

The walls around were mottled, with moss and vines growing wildly.

The trees in the yard are withered and yellow, and the fallen leaves are piled up, but no one cleans them up.

The scene I saw was extremely desolate.

The air was filled with the smell of dampness and decay, which made her frown.

This seems to be a cold palace.

Lin Xilan walked lightly across the yard, trying to find a way out.

The surroundings were desolate. At a glance, there were only weeds and flowers, and not even a door could be seen.

She looked around as she walked, but she didn't have time to find a way out.

Then I heard footsteps!

somebody is coming!

Lin Xilan: “…”

Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence. She hid in a cave behind the rockery, hoping to wait for the man to leave before finding a way out, but when she raised her hand, she was touched.

But I found that the rockery was completely hollow and there was a staircase underneath.

The feeling of terror became even stronger.

Seeing that the people outside were getting closer, she no longer hesitated, went deep into the rockery, and walked down the stairs one level at a time until she reached the bottom and the deepest level.

The Southern Kingdom is wealthy, and Prince Murong Xuan’s bedroom doesn’t even use candles, but instead uses night-shining pearls.

In this cave, almost every floor and every other section is inlaid with a huge night-shining pearl, which shines brightly and illuminates the road ahead.

"There is actually such a place in the palace?"

She was surprised, then walked down a little bit, and saw that the scene in front of her suddenly became clear. Hundreds of luminous pearls were shining in the cave, illuminating a coffin in the center.

The coffin was made of neither gold nor silver, and it emitted a faint blue light.

It lay quietly in the center of the cave, with no decoration around it, only the light of the night pearl flowing around it.

In the coffin, there lay a man in plain clothes and white hair.

The man was wearing a simple white robe, his hair was like snow, and he lay there quietly, as if he was just asleep.

However, when Lin Xilan saw this person for the first time, she felt not surprise but a creepy fear, because the corpse had no face!

Where the face should have had distinct features, there was only a smooth piece of skin left, no eyes, no nose, no mouth, nothing.

This strange scene made Lin Xilan feel a chill running from the soles of her feet to her forehead.

Oh my god.

She is a pregnant woman!

In the broad daylight, in this desolate courtyard with no one around, in this basement, she actually saw a dead body.

Lin Xilan quickly patted his chest with his hands.

It was so scary.

She touched her belly with her hand, hoping that the baby would not be frightened.

Looking at everything in front of her, her heart beat faster and her breathing became uncontrollably rapid.

in the end!

Who on earth is so smart that he would treasure a corpse?

Lin Xilan looked at the bloody face in front of her, as if someone had cut off the skin!

The more I look at it, the more scared I get.

but.

Because she was so curious, after calming herself down, she walked forward and observed the other person carefully.

Walking up to the man, she looked at him carefully.

The other person was lying straight.

There is nothing special about him.

However, the corpse's hands were crossed in front of his chest, and he seemed to be holding something in his hands.

Lin Xilan approached cautiously, wanting to see clearly what it was.

It seems like... a small jade pendant?

There was an intricate pattern carved on the jade pendant, and this pattern gave her a very familiar feeling.

She stretched out her trembling hand, wanting to touch the jade pendant, but just as her fingers were about to touch the jade pendant, a low voice suddenly sounded in the cave.

She took a step back and kicked something nearby in panic.

Just as Lin Xilan was still in shock, a voice came from behind her: "Lord Zhao, why are you here?"

What a mess!

It's really scary!

Murong Yu stood behind Lin Xilan at some point, looking at her with a dark gaze, his handsome face full of anger.

Her heart skipped a beat and she knelt down quickly, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

This corpse is actually a treasured possession of His Majesty today?

This is too shocking.

Could it be that Murong Yu has some special hobby?

Thinking of this, Lin Xilan couldn't help but tremble all over.

Raising her head, she gave Murong Yu a complicated look.

Lin Xilan did not ask who was in the coffin, but evaded the question calmly, "I accidentally strayed in here and did not mean to disturb you. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

"Oh, this palace is so big, why did you come here?" Murong Xuan obviously didn't believe her.

His eyes fell on Lin Xilan.

The woman has straight shoulders, distinct collarbones, a slim figure, and picturesque features.

For an instant.

It was as if he saw someone come back to life.

Lin Xilan looked embarrassed, "I came here to ask the Imperial Concubine..."

She had just started talking when she saw the other party's indifferent expression. There was no surprise at all. It was obvious that he already knew the whole story.

"My dear, since you have come here, you must have seen that person. Are you curious about who is inside?"

what?

Lin Xilan was stunned.

His eyes fell on the coffin, with a nostalgic look, "You are a smart man, you must have guessed that this is a woman I once loved."

Lin Xilan didn't say anything.

"Her name is Xiao Wujiu."

ah? ? ? ?

This is really Xiao Wuchen's fault!!!

Just now she felt that the jade pendant on the palm of the corpse looked very familiar. Now she remembered that the jade pendant was given to Xiao Wuchenju by Murong Yu on her birthday.

at that time.

Xiao Wujiu accepted the thing.

A casual glance.

I threw it into a box and never looked at it again.

Lin Xilan: “…”

屮!

What did she do wrong?

Why do you have to treat her like this?

She is just an ordinary person, a Grand Tutor who disguised herself as a man and wanted to fight with the bad guys of the Southern Dynasty.

Why does Murong Xuan like her?

why?

Could it be that he also knew that Xiao Wujiu was not a man before she died? ? ?

Ah? ? ?

impossible! ! !

Lin Xilan shook her head.

She couldn't imagine that she thought her vest was well-covered, but actually... it was all seen through!

At this moment, her mind was full of questions, and she hoped Murong Yu could give her an answer.

She was somewhat speechless and asked:

"Xiao Wujiu killed countless people during his lifetime and was charged with numerous crimes. Your Majesty once said that he was the cause of your childlessness. If that's the case, why does Your Majesty still like such a person?"

There must be a reason for liking someone, right?
