Chapter 733

Chapter 733

These days, Empress Dowager Wei has heard a lot about the Zhan Palace through Wei Wan'er.

If Wei Wan'er married into Prince Zhan's Mansion, became Concubine Zhan, and controlled the inner courtyard of Prince Zhan's Mansion, she would be able to obtain more and more useful information.

"As Wan'er's real aunt, the queen mother naturally hopes that she will find a good husband. Since she and King Zhan are in love, why does the queen mother object? If the emperor wants to give them two marriages, the emperor will arrange them."

Long Chengye nodded.

"Then I will draw up the imperial decree for bestowing marriage today, and let Wan Bao personally go to General Wei's Mansion and Prince Zhan's Mansion to read out the decree tomorrow."

After talking about the gift of marriage, Long Chengye paused for a moment, and continued: "Mother, there is one more thing. The spring is beautiful now, and I want to take one or two hundred guards to hunt in Dafo Mountain."

The little emperor didn't want to go hunting in Dafoshan, but an excuse to go hunting in Dafoshan to go to the mausoleum of the late Empress Dowager Shangguan. According to Yan Xiaosi's suggestion, take the bones of Shangguan to recognize his relatives. The Empress Dowager knew that if she wanted to deceive the Queen Mother Wei, the best reason was to go to Dafo Mountain to hunt. The Dafo Mountain happened to be the royal hunting ground, and he would go there once every year.

"The queen mother will accompany me to the Great Buddha Mountain."

Knowing that Queen Mother Wei would not go, the little emperor pretended to ask.

Empress Dowager Wei sighed slightly, and said with a kind face: "The emperor just chooses a few young and strong ministers to go with him. If the empress mother's old bones go, not only will she not be able to hunt prey, but she will also drag the emperor down."

"Since the queen mother doesn't want to go, then rest well in the palace. It's getting late, and the son will not disturb the queen mother."

Seeing the little emperor stand up and leave, Empress Dowager Wei watched his back with a bloodthirsty sneer on the corner of her mouth.

Do you want to go to Dafo Mountain for spring hunting? Very good, it’s best not to come back after this trip.

At first, he didn't want to replace this little bastard, but recently, this little bastard has become more and more disobedient.

The screen shifts to the Xiao Family Cemetery.

The Xiao family's cemetery is guarded by guards all the year round. Xiao Jian and dozens of cronies approached the cemetery when he was discovered by the guards of the Xiao family's cemetery.

The leader of the guards guarding the mausoleum hurried forward and stopped Xiao Jian with a weapon in his hand.

"My subordinates refer to the Second Young Master, why did the Second Young Master come to the cemetery?"

Xiao Jian glanced at him, and replied in a cold voice: "I worship my elder brother Xiao Cheng, let me get out of the way."

"Sorry, Second Young Master, no one is allowed to approach the Eldest Young Master's tomb without the Patriarch's warrant."

"yes."

Ma Yingjie spoke coldly, rushed forward, and kicked the guard flying away.

The guard spat out a mouthful of blood, got up from the ground, covered his chest, stared at Xiao Jian and said in a muffled voice, "Second Young Master, please don't make things difficult for me."

Xiao Jian reached into his bosom and took out Long Chengye's dragon-shaped jade pendant.

"This general is ordered by the emperor to investigate the real cause of the death of the weapon supervisor Xiao Cheng, so you can't go in?"

The guard looked up at the dragon-shaped jade pendant in Xiao Jian's hand, his face turned pale with fright, and he quickly knelt down on his knees.

"Long live my emperor."

The rest of the chief guards then knelt down on their knees.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

Seeing the dragon-shaped jade pendant is like seeing the emperor, Xiao Hai's order is nothing, a group of Xiao family guards who guard the mausoleum dare not obstruct any more, they automatically divide into two teams to make a way.

Surrounded by dozens of cronies, Xiao Jian led Ma Yingjie and Qin Lang towards Xiao Cheng's cemetery.

"Big brother."

Facing Xiao Cheng's cold tombstone, Xiao Jian bent his knees and knelt on the ground.

"Brother, I will definitely find out the real cause of your death and bring your murderer to justice. In order to testify against your murderer, I will now open the coffin to collect evidence. Please don't blame me if you are in heaven."

He stroked Xiao Cheng's tombstone and said something, kowtowed three times, then stood up, and ordered in a deep voice: "Dig the grave and open the coffin."

"Yes, General."

As soon as he gave an order, several of his confidantes standing behind him came forward, picked up their hoes and shovels and began to dig the grave.

Seeing this, the guards guarding the mausoleum of the Xiao Mansion did not dare to step forward to stop them. The leader guard thought for a while and ordered: "You, hurry up and report to the Patriarch of the Xiao Mansion."

"Yes."

Xiao Hai went into the palace today to discuss with Empress Dowager Wei how to seize the military power in Xiao Jian's hands, and was scolded by Empress Dowager Wei, and at the moment he was angry with a gloomy face.

Before the anger in his heart was completely vented, another accident happened in the cemetery.

"Patriarch, something is wrong, the Second Young Master and a group of people are digging the Eldest Young Master's grave."

Hearing this, Xiao Hai almost spit out a mouthful of old blood out of anger.

"This rebellious son actually took someone to dig the grave."

Xiao Hai gritted his teeth, and slapped the table heavily.

"There are so many guards at the cemetery, how did that Nizi get into the cemetery? A bunch of useless idiots, what's the use of this general raising you."

Xiao Hai kicked fiercely on the chest of the guard who came to report.

The guard didn't dare to groan, got up hurriedly, and continued to report: "Patriarch, it's not that the subordinates can't stop it, but the second son has the emperor's dragon-shaped jade pendant in his hand. Seeing the dragon-shaped jade pendant is like seeing the emperor. Don't dare to stop it."

"What, that nizi has the emperor's dragon-shaped jade pendant in his hand."

Xiao Hai was shocked, and then shook his body.

That Nizi had turned to the emperor so quickly.

Xiao Lin and Xiao He rushed over after hearing the news, just in time to hear the next few words.

Xiao He frowned and said: "Brother, let's go to the cemetery to stop Jian'er from digging the grave."

Xiao Hai understands the stakes in this.

Now that Xiao Jian has taken refuge in the little emperor, if Xiao Jian proves that Xiao Cheng's death was caused by the Queen Mother Wei, he will definitely help the little emperor become an enemy of the Queen Mother Wei without hesitation. Anger was directed at the Xiao family, who offended both the little emperor and the Empress Dowager Wei, and the Xiao family was in danger.

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and prepare the horse."

"Yes, master."

Xiao Hai roared to the outside of the hall, and the servants of the Xiao family rolled and scrambled to prepare the horse.

This is the Xiao Family Cemetery.

There are many people and strength is great, but within a quarter of an hour, Xiao Cheng's mausoleum has been dug up, revealing the dark coffin inside.

Xiao Jian stood by the edge of the tomb, staring at the lacquered coffin, his eyes felt sore, and after taking a deep breath, he waved his hand and commanded solemnly: "Lift the coffin."

"Yes, General."

Four of his confidants jumped into the tomb nimbly, pulled out the willow nails on the coffin lid with their swords, and then lifted the coffin lid.

As soon as the coffin lid was opened, a stench of rotting corpses immediately filled the air.

Enduring the stench, the four cronies moved the coffin lid to the ground.

Inside the coffin, although Xiao Cheng's body was somewhat decomposed, Xiao Cheng's original appearance could still be seen.

Xiao Jian stared at his blue-gray, lifeless face, and couldn't help blushing.
