The deck was covered with rawhide, and the mahogany bed was carried out, poured with pine oil and burned.

The ochre-red fire, like an ominous omen, weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.Mu Mu, Chu Yu, Xu Daoxuan and Ruyi all watched silently with serious expressions.

The Babu bed burned for an hour, and finally it was completely burned to ashes.

Xue Yun hugged Xu Changan deeply, and when the fire subsided, he ordered: "Pour these into the sea."

Mu Mu responded, greeted Chu Yu and Ru Yi, and then called a sailor to help, each of the four raised a corner, carried the charcoal that was emitting residual heat to the side of the boat, and poured them all down.

When the charcoal touches the water, white mist rises.Xu Changan and Xue Yunshen clasped their fingers together, feeling a little more at ease.Earlier, he asked Xue Yunshen to check the inner alchemy in the inner mansion. Fortunately, not much was inhaled, and the inner alchemy was safe and sound.

"It's windy on the deck, let's go back first." Xue Yunshen stretched out his hand to gather Xu Changan's clothes.

In order to prevent any residual smell in the bedroom, the two temporarily changed their residence and moved into Xu Daoxuan's house.And Xu Daoxuan took advantage of this great opportunity to live with Ruyi.

"En." Xu Changan let Xue Yunshen lead him, and when he turned around and was about to go off the deck, he suddenly caught a glimpse of an island surrounded by mist in the distance from the corner of his eyes, and asked involuntarily, "What is that?"

Xue Yunshen followed Xu Changan's gaze and found that it was Suomei Island, which was getting closer and closer.He pressed Xu Changan's long hair that was blown up by the sea breeze, and explained, "It's Suomei Island."

"Suomei Island?" Xu Changan asked, his long eyebrows that slanted into his temples were creased in confusion.

Xue Yunshen touched the center of Xu Changan's eyebrows with his fingertips, and while slowly pushing away his wrinkled eyebrows, he said, "Suomei Island is the mausoleum of the former emperor Xiaoyi and noble concubine."

When the late emperor's favorite concubine, Xiang Xiaoyu, died, Xue Yunshen hadn't been born yet, and he had only heard sporadic stories from his two elder brothers.

After the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Taizong, ascended the throne, he exiled all the old ministers of the previous dynasty who were ignorant of current affairs to a sea island.At that time, the island was not called Suomei Island, and it was commonly known as Prison Cage among the people.

Concubine Xiaoyi is the descendant of the former minister Mei's family.

In the 18th year of the first emperor's succession to the throne, for some reason, he had the idea of ​​sailing the sea, but the ministers tried to persuade him to no avail, so he had to watch the dragon catch up on the imperial boat.A few months later, the first emperor returned to court and brought back a woman with plum blossoms on her eyebrows.

This woman was later the noble concubine Xiaoyi.

The first emperor continued to favor women, and he was promoted from a talented person to the head of the four concubines. When he wanted to change to a queen, he was opposed by all the ministers.

The officials carried the coffin to the Jinluan Hall to die, and the ministers on the left and right couldn't kneel down, and all the civil and military officials stopped him.The first emperor was forced to give in, and the next best thing was to make the plum blossom girl a noble concubine.

After half a year, Concubine Xiaoyi became pregnant.At that time, the crown prince had not yet been established, so the first emperor issued an oral order, if the noble concubine Xiaoyi gave birth to a prince, he would be named crown prince immediately.

October passed, and Concubine Xiaoyi did give birth to a prince.It's just that no one thought that the prince who followed the imperial concubine was a plum tree, not a peony.

The first emperor regretted so much that he had to change the queen's son to be the prince.Not long after, the noble concubine Xiaoyi fell ill and was lingering on the sick bed. Remembering that the noble concubine should not be buried with the emperor, she begged the late emperor to bury her back to the place where the two met for the first time, that is, Prison Cage Island above the East China Sea.

The first emperor was heartbroken, so he moved the residents out of Prison Cage Island, took the entire island as a mausoleum, renamed Suomei Island, and buried the noble concubine Xiaoyi.

Such royal love affairs are rarely mentioned by the public because Emperor Jingzong's biological mother, the empress dowager, had been angered by the domineering and domineering concubine Xiaoyi many times.

After Jingzong succeeded to the throne, he specially issued an imperial decree prohibiting mentioning the secret history of the late emperor and concubine Xiaoyi.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Xu Changan to be completely ignorant of this matter.

"The uncle in the backyard of Hanshan Temple is the son of Concubine Xiaoyi." Xue Yunshen continued, "Not long after the late emperor passed away, the uncle devoted himself to Buddhism and became a monk."

Rubbing Xu Chang'an's slightly cool fingers, Xue Yunshen couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed on it: "When I get back to the imperial city, I'll take you to see the emperor's uncle, and pray for our child by the way."

Xu Changan smiled slightly, and was about to agree, but his eyes accidentally brushed Xue Yunshen's shoulder, and saw the approaching Sea Falcon.

"Where did you get the boat?" Xu Changan asked.

Xue Yunshen turned his head and saw not far away on the sea, the sea falcon fleet, which was approaching badly, lined up neatly and orderly in a very aggressive line.

"It's the mausoleum guards of Suomei Island, don't be afraid."

After Xue Yunshen finished speaking, he nodded towards Mu Mu, and Mu Mu immediately stood on the bow after receiving the signal.

The sea falcon on the opposite side probably saw that Xu Changan was weak, so they didn't order the attack at the beginning, but sent a message to expel the Gouchen: "This is the important place of the imperial tomb, the incoming ship leaves quickly!"

Standing on the bow of the boat with hands clasped, the sea breeze billows the ochre-colored skirt of the dusk, and the entourage who usually does not show the mountains and the water does not show the slightest timidity in front of thousands of troops.

Mu Mu took good measure, and waited for the other party to finish speaking before replying loudly: "The third prince, His Royal Highness King Mo and his concubine, are ordered by the Empress Dowager to come here to mourn the noble concubine Xiaoyi, and I hope you will make way for your convenience."

Xu Changan cast a puzzled glance at Xue Yunshen upon hearing this.Seeing this, Xue Yun hurriedly raised a finger to his lips, making a silent movement.

What was ordered by the queen mother is of course false.

When Noble Concubine Xiaoyi was alive, the empress dowager and her were at odds, and the two sides were almost at the point of comparing every penny on the surface.There is absolutely no such friendship that the Empress Dowager sent people to mourn after the death of Concubine Xiaoyi.

But this seems to be an impulsive excuse, but in fact, it is deliberate.

If you want to stop the mouths of those officials who are talking about the last emperor's will, it is most appropriate to bring out the queen mother.Besides, as a grandmother, the Queen Mother has always loved Xue Yunshen the most.

The Seafalcon Fleet on the opposite side thought it was just a lost warship, but they didn't expect the opponent to be so powerful.Several pioneer young generals got together to discuss for a while, but could not come to a conclusion, so they put down a small boat and sent someone back to deliver the letter.

Xu Changan saw the small boat sailing back to Suomei Island quickly.

Then, about half a stick of incense later, a fighting boat drove away from all the falcon ships and arrived in front of Gou Chen.

"It turns out that Prince Mo and Concubine Wang are coming here. I hope that the prince and concubine will forgive me for being disappointed." A young general with a white face and no beard, made a big salute far away in the direction of Xu Chang'an, Xue Yunshen and the others.

Xue Yunshen slightly raised his hand and said, "Forget it, get up."

Unexpectedly, after the young general who claimed to be the mausoleum guard stood up, the first question he asked was: "The late emperor has ordered first, please forgive me for being bold. Since the prince came here under the order of the queen mother, I don't know if I can be an official." one sight?"

"Why," Xue Yunshen swept his long and narrow eyes sideways, and said calmly, "If there is no Yizhi, it is not the Queen Mother's will. You won't let me go to the island?"

Seeing Xue Yunshen's tendency to get angry, the young general quickly bowed down: "I don't dare, but I have a duty to do, so please be magnanimous and don't care about me."

He pleaded guilty in his mouth, but his posture was unyielding.

Xue Yun suppressed his smile, and asked slowly, "When did verbal orders not count as wills?"

The oral order is indeed a will, and it is also a will that is extremely inconvenient to interrogate.

May I ask who has the guts to run up to the Queen Mother and ask her if she has said the words to let King Mo come down to mourn the noble concubine Xiaoyi?

The young general bowed his waist, turned his lowered eyes, and knew that His Highness Mo Wang on the opposite boat was going to the island no matter what.

The purpose of the other party's visit was unknown, but his own side was jealous. In this case, in order to avoid further complications and arouse greater suspicion, the young general could only smile and lead the Gouchen to Suomei Island to berth in person.

"My lord and concubine, be careful where you step." After getting off the boat, the young general led the way.

Because August is not the season when plum blossoms are in full bloom, the clear and meaningful gravel path is hidden among the green leaves on both sides.

After the death of Noble Concubine Xiaoyi, the late Emperor became ill with longing, so he went to Suomei Island many times to live for a while, and planted hundreds of plum trees with his own hands.Jiangmei, Lvcalyx, Jade Butterfly, Sajin, Gongfen, Zhaoshui, Cinnabar, Bone Red Weeping Branches and so on, whether it is a common variety of plum blossoms or rare ones, can be found on Suomei Island. Find the trace.

Xu Changan glanced over the plum trees that seemed to be chaotic, but actually spread in a special order. Occasionally, one or two young soldiers with wooden buckets could be seen among the lush greenery, irrigating the plum trees with tea water.

"Those plum trees have lost their leaves recently, and the tea water can prevent pests." Seeing that Xu Changan had been staring there, the young general took the initiative to explain.

Xu Chang'an knew that the young general had misunderstood his meaning, so he didn't point it out, but followed the other party's meaning and said casually: "It turns out that this is the case, but I am short-sighted."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xu Changan's fingers were pinched severely.

Facing Xu Changan who was glaring at him, Xue Yunshen said innocently, "Where are you short-sighted?"

Seeing that King Mo and Concubine Mo, who were staring at each other, were getting closer, the young general could only cough twice: "Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine Temple is ahead."

Unlike other concubine mausoleums, above the mausoleum of Concubine Xiaoyi, there is a small temple built by the late emperor, and the statue of Concubine Xiaoyi is enshrined in the temple.

Xu Changan took the sandalwood from the young general, stood side by side with Xue Yunshen, and bowed three times.Then Xu Changan took small steps to the left, and was about to turn around to insert the sandalwood into the incense burner when the young general stopped him.

"Come on, sir."

Xu Changan didn't force it, and handed the sandalwood in his hand to the young general.He remembered that he hadn't seen many houses along the way, so he couldn't help asking: "Where do the general and his soldiers usually live?"

The young general thought that the two of them would be finished after the incense, but never expected that Princess Mo would ask such a question, and accidentally stepped on the wrong bluestone brick, making a small hollow sound.

"Back to Princess," the young general stared intently at Xu Changan's expression, "Because the late emperor ordered that the plum tree on Suomei Island not be moved casually, so the officers and soldiers returned to the boat to rest."

Xu Changan nodded without showing any signs of expression, and it was considered to have exposed the matter.

The two of them made a full-fledged condolence appearance, burned incense, and walked half a circle around Suomei Island, then bid farewell to the young general and returned to Gouchen.

The sound of paddle boards paddling the sea water sounded, and the Gochen swung its huge body and slowly sailed away from Suomei Island.

The young general, who watched the Gou Chen go away, waved his hands with a sinking face.

The young soldier who was signaled behind him immediately threw the thing in his hand into the sky.

The light gray homing pigeon disappeared into the mist instantly like lightning.

Two hours later, the commoner monks in Hanshan Temple received an urgent report from Suomei Island.

The small letter box tied to the pigeon's leg was untied, and a small note poured out of it.Immediately afterwards, the jade-like fingers moved slightly, unfolding the tightly folded paper.

Seeing the handwriting on the note clearly, the commoner monk closed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice to the distant bell of the mountain temple: "Amitabha."

It was night, and the young general received a reply.

I saw the narrow note written on the front: Mo Wang and Wang Fei locked Mei Island in person, fearing that they would become suspicious.

On the reverse side, there is a reply: the two of them must be intercepted and killed before they enter Linqi.
