A courtyard somewhere in an ancient house.

Huang Xikong sat on the chair and looked down at his abdomen.

That kid is a bit strong.

He was in a daze, and the woman sitting on the chair nearby, with beautiful features and dignified temperament, asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Huang Xikong shook his head and said lightly: "Someone is here to save you."

The woman was stunned for a few seconds: "You didn't do anything to those people, did you?"

Huang Xikong raised his eyes and looked at her quietly, until the woman frowned slightly, and then said: "You and my wife are indeed different."

If it were a wife, she would worry about his health first, not the safety of others.

Meng Zhizhen said calmly: "I'm not her, how can it be the same?"

Huang Xikong smiled self-deprecatingly: "That's right."

His wife was gentle and virtuous, and he and his childhood sweetheart were once a couple envied by countless people in Beijing.

Outsiders call his wife Liu, and her single name is Xiangqiao.

She was also a famous talented woman at that time.

Meng Zhizhen saw the look of nostalgia on his face and couldn't help but said: "Although I am not her, you might as well tell me the story of you and your wife."

Huang Xikong stood up and walked to the ancient book shelf, and pulled out a scroll from the shelf: "This is a portrait of my wife."

Meng Zhizhen took the scroll and slowly unfolded it. Looking at the woman with a gentle smile in the painting, she not only praised: "Your wife is a very beautiful woman."

"You said you are a historian, how do you write about me in the history books?" Huang Xikong turned around and asked.

Meng Zhizhen slowly rolled up the scroll and said with a smile: "There are mixed reviews."

Huang Xikong raised his head slightly and sneered: "I thought it would be infamy for thousands of years."

"Since you want to hear the story of my wife and I, I might as well tell you more. After all, I am the only one who still remembers her."

Huang Xikong lowered his eyes and touched the wooden box on the Bogu shelf, and said slowly: "Her name is Liu Xiangqiao. She grew up with my childhood sweetheart. She married me when she was sixteen. When I was twenty, my term in Beizhou had expired.

, so he was transferred back to Jinghua City to serve. The late emperor was a wise king who valued talents very much. Even though I was young, he still stood up to everyone else and relied heavily on me."

Meng Zhizhen listened carefully. She had studied history and archeology for many years, and this was the first time she heard history spoken by me.

If we can go back, the mysterious Jin Dynasty will be able to lift its veil in front of the world again.

Huang Xikong raised his head slightly, feeling quite high-spirited: "I became Prime Minister at the age of twenty-six, and I stand at the pinnacle of my life."

Meng Zhizhen lowered her head and thought briefly: "After that, Emperor Hui passed away?"

"Yes." Huang Xikong nodded and sighed softly, "The late emperor treated me with great kindness. He had five sons, and later he chose Chen Zhenxi to inherit the throne."

"Chen Zhenxi was the later Emperor Xu, right?" Meng Zhizhen knew this period of history.

Chen Zhenxi left his name in the history books for his licentiousness and cruelty.

He was one of the most famous emperors of the Jin Dynasty, and he was most talked about by later generations for his love of male sex.

In the following hundreds of years, there were rumors in unofficial histories that Emperor Xu died of syphilis.

It is recorded in the official history that Emperor Xu of Jin Dynasty died of a serious illness, which was described in the history books as malignant sores.

However, based on research from various historical records, it is extremely likely that Emperor Xu of Jin died of syphilis.

When Huang Xikong mentioned Chen Zhenxi, the yin energy in his body couldn't help but roll over, forcing Meng Zhizhen to retreat.

"Chen Zhenxi is the fifth son of the late emperor. He was respectful and filial to the late emperor before he succeeded to the throne, and he also made great achievements in government affairs, so there are many people in the court who support Chen Zhenxi. Among the other four sons, the prince is cowardly and incompetent by nature, and his ears are too soft.

, it is very easy to listen to biased beliefs, and has been in charge of the East Palace for more than ten years,

Being attracted by the Crown Princess's mother's family had already annoyed the late emperor several times. The other people were also difficult to catch the eye of the late emperor, so they did not stand out, but Chen Zhenxi, who was acceptable in all aspects, became the best candidate for the throne. The late emperor deposed the East Palace before his death.

Prince, passed the throne to Chen Zhenxi."

"However, after Chen Zhenxi succeeded to the throne, he changed his previous humble and cautious attitude, becoming arrogant, extravagant, tyrannical and immoral."

"Just because of my face, he forced me into the palace. Although I am the prime minister, but..."

Huang Xikong didn't say any more, but Meng Zhizhen knew very well.

He became Emperor Xu's male favorite and was even absurdly named a male concubine.

"Emperor Xu knew that I missed my wife and daughter at home, so he secretly sent someone to lock my wife and daughter in the house and burn them to ashes."

Meng Zhizhen looked at him in shock, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Although history books have long recorded that Emperor Xu of Jin was cruel, she never expected that he would be so inhumane.

Huang Xikong lowered his head and said: "After my wife and daughter died, I completely entered the harem and tried to please him every day, hoping to find an opportunity to kill him."

"But it failed." Huang Xikong's voice was full of hatred, and he crushed the wooden box under his hand to pieces.

Meng Zhizhen's eyes were full of sympathy when she looked at Huang Xikong. Huang Xikong died of dove poisoning. After his death, his body was sealed in mercury intact and was used as a funerary object by Emperor Xu of Jin Dynasty. He was buried in a tomb in the underground palace of Emperor Xu of Jin Dynasty.

However, the underground palace of Emperor Xu of Jin Dynasty was not completely excavated because it was too big.

Their excavation this time was only because tomb robbers had dug a hole and stole the funerary objects in Huang Xikong's tomb, so the higher-ups issued an order to protect the excavation area first.

Meng Zhizhen from Huangxi Space showed compassion and said calmly: "You don't have to sympathize with me."

Especially since Meng Zhizhen had the same face as his wife, he didn't want to see that kind of expression on her face.

"After you die, why don't you reincarnate?" Meng Zhizhen is not afraid of him now.

Huang Xikong shook his head: "I can't go. Emperor Xu sealed my body in a coffin and ordered the heavenly master to carve soul-calming runes in the coffin. He also reinforced the seal in the tomb. After my death, my soul was sealed in the body.

Over time, he became riddled with hostility and transformed into a fierce ghost overnight, but fell into a deep sleep for no apparent reason."

"Come to save your kid, you said that I can maintain my sanity only because of my merits. Perhaps it is true. It was also this merit that made me fall asleep after turning into a ghost. I didn't have time to commit any murders until you dug up the tomb.

, the seal in the tomb was destroyed, and the coffin was moved out of the underground palace, and I gradually woke up..."

But he didn't expect that when he woke up, he would see Meng Zhizhen who looked exactly like his first wife.

Therefore, Meng Zhizhen's soul was taken away. As for the souls of several other people, they were all slaves buried with him. They were not angry about their sleep being disturbed, so they got angry and kidnapped all the leading ones back to Guixiao.

"The person who saved you is here." Huang Xikong stood at the door, looked back at Meng Zhizhen and said, "You and my wife look really alike."

Perhaps, even her reincarnation is uncertain.

But the way she looks at herself now is no longer the same as before.

To her, he was just a ghost that she had never met before, and he captured her here.

…

There were chaotic footsteps outside the door. Huang Xikong waved his sleeves and opened the door. He stood at the door and stared at the two old men in the yard, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Got into a fight.

He is not very strong, not even as good as that kid.

"Go away, let that kid come." Huang Xikong said in a cold voice.

Pu Yuzhou and Long Xiangtao, who finally got around, fell down with anger, their eyebrows and beards trembling.

Who does this damn guy look down on?
