Dear, suggest that the villain usurp the throne?

"It's nothing new for the concubine emperor to posthumously enshrine his birth mother as empress dowager and move it into the imperial mausoleum. But when the emperor moved his birth mother's tomb a year ago, the former astrologer who had retired to the mountains and forests came out to strongly oppose it." Mo Wu said, " Thinking about it this way, someone already knew that moving the grave of the emperor's birth mother into the imperial mausoleum would cause trouble."

Lou Qingyan quickly understood the key point: "The moving of the grave was a year ago, and if something happened, it would not be today a year later. In this way, there have been changes in the imperial mausoleum. Someone inside is covering it up. Now it can't be covered up, so it was revealed."

Mo Wu nodded.

"Then what do you mean by stumbling between the living and the dead?"

Mo Wu said: "No matter how many grievances and grievances people of that generation have, they have been brought underground now. But if the people of that generation are already dead, why does the astrologer object but not tell the reason behind it?"

Lou Qingyan's eyes narrowed: "Because the person who was involved in the grievances of the past is still alive. This person wants to cover up the grievances of the dead. The old astrologer cannot offend this living person."

Mo Wu sighed: "So, Pavilion Master, if this case is only related to the dead, it will be fine for us to take over. I'm afraid that it will involve royal secrets, even after 20 years, we can't reveal it."

Lou Qingyan lowered his eyes and thought for a while before asking: "In your opinion, why is there a ghost in the imperial mausoleum when the emperor's biological mother moved the grave?"

"There is a rumor in the Tao. The late emperor probably suppressed a concubine before he was alive, and used her spirit after death to nourish his own fate." Mo Wu said, "It was my Mo family who did it back then. But their generation It’s a secret, and I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

The teacup in Lou Qingyan's hand suddenly fell, knocking the porcelain on the table.

"Does the emperor know about this matter?"

"I probably don't know." Mo Wu said, "Otherwise he would never have buried his biological mother with the late emperor."

Imprison the soul after death to nourish one's own destiny.The two can be said to be enemies.

If both of them died, it would be fine if they never saw each other; if they were buried together in this way, I am afraid that the tomb would be too harmonious, and the enemies would be put in a small world to fight each other, and nothing would happen.

Lou Qingyan felt sorry for Lu Yulai for some reason.

He lost his mother since he was a child. If he knew that his disliked father not only treated his mother like this before he was alive, but also made her suffer so much after death, he would be so depressed and distressed.

There are still many doubts in this.For example, Lu Yu's biological mother was just a non-existent concubine before she was alive. Why was she suppressed?And the person who knew that the secret was still alive, now blindly covering it up, what is behind Lu Yu's plot?

Lou Qingyan rubbed the center of her brows.

This paragraph is not in the original book, mostly because he intervened in the plot, causing the plot line to converge and deflect, and automatically filled in many backgrounds that were not explained clearly in the original book.

"Pavilion Master, the water here is too deep, and it has nothing to do with us." Liang Yu couldn't help but said, "How about we tell the emperor about Brother Mo's guess and let him move out his mother's grave? never mind."

"There are so many suspicious points in this, according to his temperament, he will definitely investigate to the end." Lou Qingyan is also the first two big, "And this is the first entrustment from the royal family of Xia Kingdom and us. It’s impossible to get through our communication with the royal family of the Kingdom of Xia.”

"Hey, didn't the emperor give us two commissions? If you don't go to the imperial mausoleum, there will be Feng... I'm sorry, Pavilion Master, I was wrong."

Honest Mo Wu opened his eyes wide: "Feng? What? Can I help?"

Lou Qingyan stopped quickly, and waved her hands helplessly: "No, it's none of your business. Anyway, we've settled this case."

Mo Wu could only nod helplessly: "Alright then, it's all up to the Pavilion Master."

Two days later, the mighty convoy set off for the imperial mausoleum.

Lou Qingyan, Mo Wu and Liang Yu were wearing the usual purple robes of Beixing Pavilion and black veiled caps.Lou Qingyan's belt was replaced with a court dress belt to separate her identities.

The three of them rode in the same carriage.

Liang Yu suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Pavilion Master, how much is the commission fee for entrusting the emperor to pay us this trip?"

"After the matter is completed, all the influence of Beixing Pavilion in Xia Kingdom can be transferred to the ground, and the existing business channels can be used."

Both Mo Wu and Liang Yu gasped.

Liang Yu said frankly: "The emperor really doesn't care. To put it bluntly, if we rebel one day, it will be because he has no defense against us."

Mo Wu frowned: "Be careful what you say, we are still in his car."

Lou Qingyan didn't speak.Maybe Lu Yu is really so confident in his backhand.

The convoy stopped for a rest on the way.Suddenly, a guard ran over and asked Lou Qingyan to meet the emperor.

Lou Qingyan agreed, but asked the two of them to accompany him.

He thought to himself, Lu Yu's stickiness made him really overwhelmed.Although he won a small victory before, it is impossible to use a method several times.

As it turns out, he was right.

When Lu Yu opened the curtain and found two wooden stakes standing behind Lou Qingyan, the tenderness on his face disappeared without a trace.

Under the black veil, Lou Qingyan raised her eyelids and raised the corners of her mouth.Second round win.

He cleared his throat and saluted: "I don't know why the emperor summoned the humble minister?"

Lu Yu said with a livid face, "It's nothing, I just want to meet the sorcerer."

"Since that's the case, Your Majesty has seen it, and I will take my leave." Lou Qingyan said flatly.

"and many more."

Lou Qingyan stopped, turned her head and saw that Lu Yu's handsome face had regained the expression of certainty.

Lou Qingyan's eyelids twitched.

"I have something important to discuss with you, please get in the car and discuss it in detail. It is a confidential matter, and no one else can hear it."

Lou Qingyan reluctantly got into Lu Yu's carriage under the gaze of the two wooden posts.

Everyone is outside, Lu Yu can't go too far.

Outside the car, Mo Wu frowned.

He didn't say a word, but Liangyu provoked him on his own: "Do you know? Are we the pavilion master and the emperor?"

Mo Wu is not a talkative person, although he has doubts but doesn't talk much, he glanced through the black veil and continued to be a stake.

But Liang Yu reluctantly leaned towards him, and said in a low voice: "The emperor has been obsessing with our Pavilion Master for a long time, and the Pavilion Master can't stand it."

"Be careful." Mo Wu glanced at him.

Liang Yu looked like "you don't understand": "Do you know? Why did the owner of the pavilion have to accept this commission? Why did the emperor give Beixing Pavilion such a commission fee?"

Mo Wu said perfunctorily, "What?"

"Our pavilion master wants to go to the imperial mausoleum with all his heart! This is called meeting father-in-law and mother-in-law!" Liang Yu said in a low voice, "The entrustment fee given by the emperor is called dowry! Do you understand?"

Only then did Mo Wu come to his senses, staring at Liang Yu in surprise, speechless.

Liang Yu patted him on the back: "Let's come here to propose marriage, don't always put on a bitter face."

Inside the carriage.

Lu Yu and Lou Qingyan, one half-step Hunyuan and one big Hunyuan, both have good hearing.

Liang Yu is heartless, but the listener has a heart.The two people in the carriage heard his words clearly.

Lu Yu held back his laughter, but Lou Qingyan's face was dark.

Lu Yu said softly, "I don't know if the Pavilion Master is very nervous seeing his father-in-law or mother-in-law?"

"They are not serious, why do they even take you with them?"

Lu Yu couldn't hold back his smile: "I don't know, is the pavilion owner satisfied with this dowry? The entire market of Xia Kingdom is exposed to Beixing Pavilion. This is a dowry I have chosen for a long time."

"It was still a dowry just now, how did it become a betrothal gift? No, don't take advantage of me."

Lu Yu took his stiff hand: "It's all the same, there's no difference."

Lou Qingyan confirmed that Lu Yu is a love brain, and was deeply confused about whether he was qualified to be his opponent: "I'm not kidding. You'd better be more careful about me."

The smile on Lu Yu's face faded, and his black pupils were calm.

"Are you determined to keep a distance from me?"

"It's good for us." Lou Qingyan stared into his eyes, "Don't worry... I will spend the next Spring Festival in Xia Kingdom."

Last time, because of Lu Yu's teasing, he agreed to the Spring Festival appointment, but he put himself in a dilemma.

Thinking about it carefully, it's better to keep a certain distance from Lu Yu.So these days, he tried his best to avoid contact with Lu Yu.

Lu Yu's rank is too high.He can't bear it.

He wants to let himself have a clear mind for planning.Because he wants to give himself the freedom to choose whether to go back or stay. The premise of this freedom is that he is strong enough to threaten Lu Yu.

His Beixing Pavilion was not at the point where he could be at war with Lu Yu, but he couldn't allow himself to sink deeper and deeper in the past six months, or he wouldn't be able to make a choice in the end.

Lu Yu stared at him blankly for a long time. After a long time, he sighed and took out a bracelet from his pocket.

He took Lou Qingyan's hand.Lou Qingyan subconsciously withdrew her hand.

Lu Yu said calmly, "I didn't want to take advantage of you."

Lou Qingyan's withdrawn hand paused in the air, and was gently held by Lu Yu, and then he wrapped a string of wooden beads with sandalwood around his hand.

Lu Yu's hands were very gentlemanly, and he didn't touch anything that shouldn't be touched.

"Okay, Ai Qing, let's go back." Lu Yu calmly issued the eviction order.

This was exactly what Lou Qingyan wanted, he hurriedly got out of the car and fled back to his own car.

Back in the car, he touched the prayer beads on his wrist and felt a little uneasy.

It would be best for Lu Yu to agree not to tease her anymore.Such light communication can also reduce his psychological burden.

Liang Yu and Mo Wu also returned to the carriage, feeling Lou Qingyan's gradually calming down after getting off the emperor's carriage.

Liang Yu watched Lou Qingyan fiddle with the beads in his hands, and asked puzzledly: "Pavilion Master, you are a witch, why did he string you beads?"

"This string of Buddhist beads is an old thing, and it should be a relic of the previous generation. Bringing it into the imperial tomb can protect the pavilion master." Mo Wu said.

Lou Qingyan didn't care, and moved the beads.The Buddha beads seemed to have been carried close to Lu Yu's body for a long time, and they were stained with Lu Yu's usual sandalwood fragrance, which was very strong, not only did not have the calm and gloomy feeling of sandalwood, on the contrary, it turned to the restlessness of the other end after reaching extreme depth.

Before dark, a group of people arrived at the imperial tomb.

Lou Qingyan was accompanying him as a shaman, and he had to discuss with the priests of the imperial mausoleum about the anniversary of the late emperor's death.

After settling down the accompanying royals and nobles, Lu Yu rested.

Lou Qingyan took the two of them to discuss matters with the priest, passing by Lu Yu's courtyard on the way.

The door was closed tightly, and there was no intention of coming out.

Lou Qingyan heaved a sigh of relief.It's good that Lu Yu no longer has such teasing thoughts.

Thinking, he shook his head.

Don't think about him too much.A few days ago, a whole city had been defeated. It would be better not to let Lu Yu disintegrate the scriptures he read and the heart wall he built over the past three years.

Thinking, far away, the high priest of the imperial mausoleum approached.

The old man is more than seventy years old, with gray hair, wearing a robe full of scriptures, followed by two little priests.

The old priest saluted Lou Qingyan the first time he saw him: "I've seen the shaman."

"Excuse me. I'm sorry, my lord priest."

"Don't dare." Seeing that Lou Qingyan was a gentle and talkative person, the old priest couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and made a "please" gesture, "Shaman, this way please."

"Okay." Lou Qingyan nodded, following the pace of the old priest.

While walking, the Buddha beads collided with each other, making a crisp sound between the wood.

The old priest glanced unconsciously, saw the string of Buddhist beads in Lou Qingyan's hand, and said casually, "Witches believe in Buddha?"

This seems like nonsense.Lou Qingyan is a witch, and has no fate with Buddhism.

In the world in this book, shamanism, Taoism, and Buddhism intersect with each other, and Confucianism is also mixed in, which unreservedly reveals the author's hodgepodge of desires.

In the setting here, witches, Taoists, and Buddhas blend with each other, but they are different.For example, the Xia Kingdom advocates witchcraft, but does not prohibit the other two schools; the Yue Kingdom is similar to the Xia Kingdom, but the Rong Kingdom uses Buddhism as the state religion.

Lou Qingyan didn't care, he did look a bit weird with the beads, so he explained casually: "It's a gift from an old friend."

The old priest didn't take it too seriously: "So friendly and tasteful. There are very few Buddhist beads in Xia Kingdom. This string of small-leaf red sandalwood beads is in excellent condition. The last time I saw small-leaf red sandalwood beads in such a condition was in the hands of my concubine."

Lou Qingyan's footsteps stopped.

The old priest also stopped: "The old man made a mistake. Now, he should be called the Queen Mother."

"Tell me, the last one with such beads..."

The old priest wiped his sweat: "Our country advocates witchcraft, and only the Queen Mother in the royal family wears Buddhist beads during her lifetime."

At this moment, Lou Qingyan was in a daze.

On the carriage, Lu Yu calmly took the beads for himself.The picture appeared in front of his eyes again.

It was obvious that Lu Yu didn't look overstepped at that time, and Lou Qingyan didn't feel uneasy or shy at that time, but at this moment, Lou Qingyan felt that the blood in his body was speeding up in his memory.

Lou Qingyan's hand involuntarily moved the Buddhist beads.The sound of wood colliding was dull with some crispness.

This is the relic of Lu Yu's biological mother.

There is an inexplicable heat where the wood touches the skin.
