"Everyone, the tea is ready, please come and have some tea."

The eldest prince said calmly, Gu Hanhan looked away from the wooden box, and replied with a smile: "Okay."

At that last glance just now, Gu Hanhan identified what was wrapped around the statue.

It's a red thread, the same as those wrapped around the concubines in the tomb and the queen in the main hall, it's a fine dark red silk thread!
After Gu Hanhan left, Li Tiantian and the others followed behind her and sat down again one after another.

Through the observation just now, Li Tiantian and Li Xinyi also seemed to have discovered the problem with the statue, their expressions became a little dignified, and they looked at the First Prince with a bit of inquiry.

After receiving the warm tea, Gu Hanhan smelled the same aroma as the altar table.The scent was covered by the tea aroma, so it was not easy to detect, but it was still keenly captured by Gu Hanhan.

He glanced at Li Tiantian and others, and they immediately realized it. Seeing Gu Hanhan holding the tea cup, with no intention of drinking it for a long time, they did not dare to act rashly, smelling the smell of tea, their faces showed vigilance. .

"What? Is the tea not to your liking?"

"The tea is good tea, but... is there any spice added in it? It feels like there is an indescribably strange aroma."

The eldest prince's smile froze suddenly, and an imperceptible panic flashed in his eyes.

"Your nose is really sharp. You did add a few flowers and herbs to the tea to increase the aroma, which will make the tea taste even better..."

As he said that, Gu Hanhan glanced at the eldest prince's hand that seemed to shake twice inadvertently under the table.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Please come in."

The eldest prince stood up and opened the door. When the door opened, Mr. Huaichen was standing outside.

"Everyone happens to be here, just right, I have something to announce to you all."

After Huai Chen saluted the eldest prince, he turned his gaze to Gu Hanhan and the others sitting at the table, talking slowly.

"The empress just held a meeting of ministers, and finally decided on various matters concerning the new emperor's ascension to the throne.

Your Royal Highness, congratulations, you will formally ascend the throne in three days and become the new emperor, please get ready. "

The eldest prince nodded slightly, he didn't seem to be much excited or surprised, and his face was calm, as if he had already expected this matter.

"Ascension to the throne in three days? Time is so fast?"

Gu Hanhan frowned slightly, looked at Huai Chen, and stabbed him with probing eyes.

"Naturally, after all, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and it is a good thing to make an early decision."

Huai Chen felt the unfriendliness in Gu Hanhan's gaze, so he didn't care, and replied with a smile, with a natural, even innocent look.

"But……"

Before Gu Hanhan finished speaking, he saw Mr. Huai Chen leaning over to salute, and said: "I'm really sorry, the empress has a few words for me to tell the eldest prince, please leave for a while, go back to the palace to rest for a while How are you?"

Seeing that Huaichen had already issued the order to evict the guests, Gu Hanhan stopped pestering her again, so as not to tear her face completely, she got up and replied: "Okay, Your Highness, we will talk another day."

With that said, Gu Hanhan took Li Tiantian and the others to get up and leave, and walked out of the side hall.

"Are we really going back like this?"

After walking out of the palace, Li Tiantian approached Gu Hanhan and asked puzzledly.Even Li Tiantian found out that there was something wrong with the eldest prince, Li Xinyi and Mo Han also naturally discovered this, and vaguely felt that there must be some ulterior secrets between Huai Chen and the eldest prince.

"No, let's go back to the tomb and have a look."

Gu Hanhan shook his head and said, silently activated the breath shielding tool.

"Huh? Where are you going?"

Li Tiantian exclaimed, although it is daytime, but suddenly visiting someone's tomb like this is still... a bit creepy.

"The statue in the wooden box has a lot of red threads wrapped around it. It looks very similar to the silk threads wrapped around the corpses of the concubines."

As soon as Gu Hanhan said these words, Li Tiantian and the others suddenly changed their expressions, and their complexions became more serious.

The few people said no more and walked quietly towards the direction of the tomb.The tomb chamber had been sealed at this time, and the entrance to the cave that several people had walked through had long since disappeared, so they had to find another entrance.

"There seems to be something here."

Li Xinyi squatted on the ground, tapped with her hand where she had just stepped on a few feet, and after brushing off the dirt, a mud-colored wooden board was exposed.

"Is it the passageway? Try it, can you open it?"

Li Xinyi nodded after receiving the order, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and tried to open the wooden board.

The wooden board was loose, and Li Xinyi managed to open it alone after a little effort, and several people looked into the hole, only to see that it was pitch black below and could not see anything.

As soon as the wooden board was opened, a cold and damp smell of corpses came out, making several people hold their breaths and retreat.After Gu Hanhan got used to it, he carefully sniffed the smell coming from the tomb. Apart from the disgusting stench, Gu Hanhan also smelled a trace of familiar smell.

Floral?No, it's the same smell as the wooden box containing the idol.

After realizing this, Gu Hanhan suddenly felt that the clues that he couldn't figure out before were suddenly connected together, and everything became clear.

"How many want to go down and investigate?"

A familiar voice sounded from behind, and Gu Hanhan said inwardly that it was terrible, and was about to turn around to confront the person behind him, but before he could turn around, he was pushed down the cave by an invisible force.

One second before falling into the cave, she caught a glimpse of a white phantom, it was Huai Chen, and... the eldest prince?

The tomb was very deep and pitch black. Gu Hanhan felt the weightlessness of falling downwards and reacted quickly, taking out the buffer props, allowing himself and Li Tiantian to land safely.

"Hiss... what's going on? Sister Han, where are you?"

Li Tiantian's voice sounded in the darkness, Gu Hanhan took out the light-emitting props, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the dark tomb, Li Tiantian and the others quickly approached the light-emitting place after seeing the light.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of people.

Gu Hanhan counted the number of teammates, all of them were there, it seemed that they were pushed down by Huai Chen and the eldest prince together.

"what!"

Li Xinyi suddenly screamed, so frightened that Li Tiantian jumped to Gu Hanhan's side anxiously, looked around, and shouted: "What's wrong? What's wrong!"

Several people looked in the direction of Li Xinyi's finger, and saw countless female corpses hanging in the air with their heads drooping lifelessly like puppets on a string, pulled by the red thread.Among them, Gu Hanhan saw two familiar figures, the birth mother of the third prince and the empress.
