Most of the mercury in tombs is used for embalming.

It is quite common in the tombs of nobles, but it is not something that ordinary wealthy people can afford. There is mercury in the imperial tombs, which is very reasonable, but this is the tomb of a servant, how can there be mercury?

Especially this location... Bai Xianyu followed these silvery white traces and when he reached the source, he frowned slightly.

It seemed like it was leaked from Youlan's mother's tomb.

Although Youlan's mother had a good relationship with Xianfu, mercury is not a burial object. Even if you want to show affection, there is no need to use mercury, right?

Is it embalming?

Youlan saw Bai Xianyu squatting on the ground in a daze, and she also squatted down, playing with the ants on the ground. Those ants seemed to regard Youlan's mother's tomb as some kind of taboo place, and they all took a detour to stay away from it.

.

Bai Xianyu felt more and more weird. She felt that there must be something she had overlooked.

Suddenly, Bai Xianyu's body stiffened, goosebumps on her arms suddenly stood up, and there was a cold feeling in her heart that ran through her whole body. She glanced at Youlan, who had her head lowered.

She finally realized something was wrong.

A very simple logic, but she never paid attention to it.

He passed away before Youlan's mother died.

So, who built this tomb with mercury?

If they had been here one after another, maybe those people would still care about the palace maid's tomb, and she would bury Xiuyu properly.

But here comes the problem. Xiuyu is already free and married. Logically speaking, even if she is dead, she should not appear in the imperial mausoleum.

It is completely unreasonable for her tomb to appear here.

So who is it that tried so hard to erase the existence of this cemetery on the map and deliberately let people ignore it, but secretly protected Youlan's mother's tomb, and even used mercury, which is only available to high-ranking officials and has a very small output.

?

Plus what Youlan said before coming here.

The blood on the Yingluo Orb, the cold body, and even Little Orchid were buried alive...

In this way, we can make a preliminary inference. Bai Xianyu stood up, and the brilliant dusk was reflected in her slightly cold apricot eyes. There was an ultimate beauty of contrast. This tomb was built by the person who killed Youlan's mother.

Since they were responsible for the murder, the mercury inside must not have been to protect her tomb.

As for why it took so much trouble, Bai Xianyu lowered his eyelashes and glanced at the insect corpses on the ground... maybe it was the secret that it must not be corrupted or eaten by insects and ants.

There may have been no Youlan's mother here.

After thinking about it, Bai Xianyu suddenly understood. She was really curious. How many people could there be in Da Kui who could interfere with the production of the imperial mausoleum map?

However, the Yingluo Orb was involved again. Could it be Emperor Wu Xuan’s secret?

If it was his secret, why did he hide it in the imperial mausoleum? Which of the palaces, secret chambers passed down from father to son by emperors of the past dynasties, is not safer than here?

The whole Da Kui belongs to him. He is already the Nine-Fifth Supreme. No one can force him to do anything. Why hide like this, as if he is afraid that someone will do something to him if they find out.

Bai Xianyu tried to talk to Youlan again. Now that she had recalled her mother's death, what about her enemies?

It's impossible not to have any memory at all.

"Alan, do you still remember who you met when you last met your mother?" She said in a euphemistic way.

Youlan moved for a moment, and her body began to tremble instinctively, as if she had returned to that cold rainy night.

She hugged herself, her teeth chattering as if cold, "Alan also saw a bad guy."

"Who is the bad guy?"

"It's...her."

"He?" Bai Xianyu continued to ask, "Who is he?"

There was confusion in Youlan's eyes.

Bai Xianyu asked in a different way, "Are you a man or a woman? How old are you?"

"yes……"

"Sir, someone is coming!" Mo Yu suddenly popped up from the forest, his voice urgent, "You hide first."

Bai Xianyu glanced at Youlan unwillingly, but Youlan seemed to have sunk into her own memories, keeping silent and looking straight ahead with a pair of lifeless eyes.

"grown ups!"

"Okay." Bai Xianyu nodded quickly in a low voice, held onto Youlan's shoulders, and tried to make his tone calm and gentle, "Alan, I have to leave. Today's affairs must be kept secret. I will come to see you again tomorrow.

How is it?"

Youlan didn't reply, and she didn't know if she heard her, but Bai Xianyu didn't have time, so he finally touched the top of her hair and turned around to leave.

"Sir, come here!"

Mo Yu jumped onto a big tree where the two of them were hugging each other, and tapped the empty space under the tree with his chin.

There are very few bunkers here, and the space is limited, so even if you deliberately stay far away, the actual distance is still relatively close.

Bai Xianyu held her breath and the surroundings suddenly became quiet. She could even hear the footsteps heading towards Youlan.

The person coming is Grandma Jiang.

Mother Jiang's face was full of anxiety, "Alan, why are you here alone again? Didn't I tell you to wait in the house for me to come back?"

Youlan raised her head to look at her, and suddenly said, "Grandma!"

"What grandma?" Aunt Jiang was confused for a year. She looked at Youlan's hand and frowned in confusion, "How did you open the door? Didn't I lock it properly?"

Youlan called out again, "Grandma."

Aunt Jiang took a look at the surrounding environment. Based on what Youlan said, her exposed skin felt slightly cold. She rubbed her hands and said, "There is no grandma here. Let's go. Aunt Jiang has brought you delicious food."

Yes, huh?"

Could it be that I bumped into something dirty here? Aunt Jiang thought to herself.

Whether it was out of psychological suggestion or something else, the wind blowing around her seemed to be cool and eerie, and she always felt as if there were a pair of eyes watching her.

Youlan didn't resist, and Grandma Jiang helped her up smoothly.

Behind them, Bai Xianyu hid in the depression of the soil slope, frowning as he thought about what Youlan had just said.

【Male or female? How old?】

【grandmother!】

There are many people in the palace who can match the identity of "grandma", but for a "grandma" with this ability, Bai Xianyu almost instantly thought of one person.

The Queen Mother.

Even in the previous life, the presence of the Empress Dowager was extremely low. Why did this matter suddenly become associated with her again?

Why did the Empress Dowager attack Youlan's family? Ming was shown to be gentle and virtuous one after another, and the Empress Dowager was also amiable in Bai Xianyu's impression, and she had even pulled her in to talk to her about herself more than once.

She could not connect the kind-hearted old man in the palace with the bad guy in Youlan's mouth who ordered her to be buried alive.

However, the facts have been clearly laid out in front of Bai Xianyu. Eliminating all impossibilities, the last remaining one, even if it is impossible, is the only correct answer.

Then, Bai Xianyu waited until the footsteps of Youlan and the others disappeared completely, then walked out from behind the tree. Her eyes fell on the inconspicuous tomb, and she whispered: "Then..."

What on earth is she hiding here?

Emperor Wu Xuan probably didn't even know.

Bai Xianyu's eyelids twitched slightly, and just as she was about to take a step forward, Mo Yu's voice interrupted her movement, "Master Imperial Master, the way out is this way, it is closer to where you live."

She was silent for a while, then turned around and said, "Okay."

Although Mo Yu said it was trustworthy, it was better to be careful when it involved the secrets of the royal family.

But it was obviously unrealistic for her to dig by herself. Besides, she didn't have the physical strength, and the risk of being discovered alone was high.

Bai Xianyu didn't hesitate for long. It seemed that she had to ask Xie Xingyun for help. He probably didn't know about this either. The most important thing was that in this cold imperial mausoleum, Xie Xingyun was the only person she could trust.
