All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

The last time Shen Lingxi saw so many eyes, looking at her in unison, was the time when the queen mother gave her the title of Fengyi female official and took her to the palace banquet.

Compared with last time, this time is fundamentally different.

After all, in the imperial mausoleum, there are many living people, but more dead souls.

Yesterday at the Mausoleum Sacrifice Ceremony, the souls of the dead who had escaped without a trace gathered in this courtyard for some reason.

On the living side, since the emperor has driven back to Beijing, Chu Yan, the crown prince, is the most respected person in the imperial mausoleum.

The mausoleum guards and the palace people who stayed behind to deal with the aftermath waited in the courtyard early in the morning.

Since they came to wait, the Embroidered Clothes Envoy and Habayashi Wei naturally also waited neatly together.

As a result, everyone caught off guard and saw Shen Lingxi, with a beautiful face without makeup, sleepy eyes, and messy temples, coming out of the main hall, all eyes staring bigger than copper bells.

This is the imperial mausoleum.

Even the emperor and empress, when they came to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage, they slept in their own halls.

The emperor's grandson and this Miaoling Daoist, a lonely man and a widow, why, why did they sleep together?
Due to Chu Yan's majesty, the living people only lowered their heads, slandering silently in their hearts, not daring to speak out.

But those souls of the dynasty who turned into ghosts have no taboos.

Seeing Shen Lingxi coming out of Chu Yan's bedroom, the pot exploded instantly.

"How decent..."

"This is the imperial mausoleum, and the grandson of the emperor is the heir apparent, no matter what...you have to keep it."

"Indecent, indecent!"

"Tsk, it's only been a few years since I died, but the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are so enlightened?"

"Although it is common for a man to love a concubine, in the imperial mausoleum... it is outrageous, outrageous."

"If it's Ben Gong, and someone sees her unmarried body and sleeps with a man all night, I'm afraid I will die of embarrassment..."

Listening to these words, Shen Lingxi felt that she couldn't argue with them.

have you slept?
I fell asleep, and I didn't sleep.

But can she explain these things to the dead in front of the living?

No.

The experience of her previous life told her——
Especially at times like this, as long as she doesn't feel embarrassed, the embarrassing one is the other party.

Shen Lingxi forced herself to be calm, her expression was indifferent, and she walked into the west hall as if nothing had happened.

The moment the palace door was closed, she could no longer control her almost crazy emotions, she quickly threw herself into her brocade quilt, and covered her head...

After the time for two cups of tea—
Shen Lingxi finally calmed down, got out of the quilt, and saw Liu Meiren standing in front of her bed with a smile on her face.

"How was last night?" Meiren Liu asked jokingly.

Shen Lingxi looked at the culprit in front of her, her almond eyes were full of resentment.

"You look like this..." Liu Meiren seemed to think of something, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that you haven't seen her?"

"Who are you seeing?" Shen Lingxi asked suspiciously.

Liu Meiren opened her eyes, "Since you haven't seen her, how is Xiao Langjun's illness? Every time he gets sick, doesn't it take several days to get over?"

These words made Shen Lingxi even more puzzled.

She also knew that every time Chu Yan's old illness relapsed, it would take a few days before he recovered.

It was like this in the previous time at the Princess's mansion.

Shen Lingxi thought about last night, since Chu Yan fell asleep holding her, she gradually breathed steadily.

Could it be... because of this, his nightmare disease was relieved?

Naturally, Shen Lingxi would not tell Liu Meiren that Chu Yan's illness was cured by hugging her.

She didn't answer but instead asked: "The 'he' you mentioned is the 'thing' you said last night that you want me to discover by myself?"

"Yes." Liu Meiren covered her lips and smiled lightly, "Otherwise, what would I call you to Xiao Langjun's bedroom?"

Shen Lingxi originally thought that the "thing" she wanted to tell her was Chu Yan's nightmare.

Unexpectedly, there are other things?
"I accidentally fell asleep last night..." Shen Lingxi blushed slightly, "I didn't see anyone else coming."

Liu Meiren couldn't hide her disappointment, "It's a pity."

Seeing this, Shen Lingxi became even more curious.

"You said that person can really cure Chu Yan's illness? Where is 'he' now? Since I missed it, I'll go see 'him'."

Liu Meiren shook her head regretfully, "Yesterday I just caught a quick glimpse of her, and I thought I was delusional, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought it was her, that's why I invited you to Xiao Langjun's bedroom late at night."

"I originally thought...she might go to see Xiao Langjun, then you can see her and talk to her, and you can barely be regarded as a reunion..."

Shen Lingxi's face changed slightly when she heard this.

She subconsciously thought of her little aunt.

Could it be that little aunt has already...

When Shen Lingxi thought of this possibility, her heart ached, her almond eyes were covered with tears.

She choked up and asked, "Could it be...you mean..."

"Did you guess it?" Liu Meiren looked at her in a daze, "Oh, don't cry, don't cry, I know you love Xiao Langjun. After so many years, you can see the soul of his mother. The world should be happy..."

Um? ?

Chu Yan's own mother? ?

First princess Xie Zhanghua? ? ?
Shen Lingxi stopped, and quickly blinked away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"You, you mean..." She asked incredulously, "Chu Yan's mother's soul is still in the world?"

Liu Meiren nodded, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you already guess it? Why... would you have such a reaction?"

Shen Lingxi smiled.

Only then did she realize that Liu Meiren and the others didn't know about the relationship between her little aunt and her.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was pleasantly surprised for Chu Yan because the soul of Chu Yan's mother was still alive.

"Where is she? I'll go find her right away." Shen Lingxi stood up and said happily.

Liu Meiren sighed, "It is precisely because I don't know where she is that I asked you to wait by Xiao Langjun's side."

"Speaking of which, we ghosts who have been wandering in the palace for decades, even if she recognizes who she is, she doesn't know us. You should know that sometimes if ghosts don't want to see people, they will hide by themselves, and no one will see us. No, unless she wants to come out."

Shen Lingxi has naturally seen ghosts hiding from people.

If it weren't for this, A Weng's dead soul wouldn't have caught her straight and used the opportunity to urge her to marry...

Shen Lingxi pondered for a few breaths, her brows moved slightly.

"She doesn't know you guys. She should know the souls of the dead in the imperial tomb, right?"

Liu Meiren raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "Do you want them to find him for you?"

"There's no need to look for it specially. If she really wants to show up, she should be in this yard this morning. There must be some unspeakable secret." Shen Lingxi asked pointedly: "Please pass a few words for me Just talk..."

*
For the whole day, Shen Lingxi was a little absent-minded because of the fact that the dead soul of the former Crown Princess was still in the world.

According to common sense, if the former princess was rumored by others, she would have "committed suicide".

Then her soul should have dissipated after ten years of experience.

How can it survive in the world?
Shen Lingxi suddenly remembered that in Yongtai Palace, the name "Xie Zhanghua" was carved on the stone wall of Suohunjing underground palace.

Could it be because of this?

She hadn't forgotten that when the little eunuch instructed Habayashi Wei, his appearance in Yirong was almost the same as that of the mysterious man who carved letters in the underground palace ten years ago.

In this world, how can there be such a coincidence.

There must be a mystery in it.

Since Shen Lingxi decided to help Chu Yan find out the truth about the inscriptions in Suohunjing's underground palace, the little eunuch seemed to have difficulty making a breakthrough.

Finding the answer from the dead soul of the former princess is undoubtedly the fastest and most effective way.

Maybe... because of this, it can help Chu Yan untie his knot.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Lingxi stopped the trip back to Beijing that was scheduled to start today, saying "to save the souls of the dead in the imperial mausoleum"...

It will be updated from time to time today until the early hours of the morning.
