"Mr. Zheng, have you seen clearly what's in the secret room? Tell me, what's there?"

Xiao seemed to be smiling, and there was a storm in his eyes.

Zheng Gang gritted his teeth, wiped his face, snorted coldly, and walked into the secret room again.

The other Jinwu Guards followed closely behind.

Everyone was shocked by the scene inside the secret room.

There are rows of spiritual positions, and I am afraid that there will be no less than a thousand.

The front and middle position is the spiritual position of "Prince Zhang Yi" that is well-known.

The secret room is gloomy and cramped, making people feel scared.

Xiao stood at the door, "Mr. Zheng, do you want something here? If my father had spirits in heaven, he would definitely kill everyone who was offended."

Jinwuwei, who was not afraid of ghosts and gods, and was not afraid of death, couldn't help but feel cold and a little panicked at this moment.

This is actually the Eastern Palace Spiritual Statue Hall?

Who would set up the ancestral hall in a secret cave?

Zheng Gang's face turned pale, he turned around and looked at Xiao, the lord of Zhuyang County.

"The Eastern Palace Spiritual Talisman?"

Xiao smiled sarcastically, "Does Lord Zheng want to cure the death penalty of this palace? Who said that he could not set up a ancestral hall to pay tribute to the dead family of this palace? Don't forget that Emperor Zhongzong personally issued an order to rehabilitate the 'Crown Prince Zhangyi'. Do you dare to say that Emperor Zhongzong's decision was wrong?"

Zheng Gang sneered, "Of course the Empress can build a ancestral hall to pay homage to the dead relatives. However, the location of the ancestral hall purchased by the Empress will make people mistakenly think that there is something shameful here. I'm afraid the Empress herself is guilty!"

"If you believe that I am guilty, you can go to the palace to complain now, and I will accompany you to the end."

Zheng Gang gritted his teeth and looked at the room of spiritual cards, which was really gloomy.

Especially the spiritual card of "Prince Zhang Yi" in the middle makes people feel inexplicably cold.

It seemed that there was a soul that was immortal after death, floating in the ancestral hall, looking at everyone with resentment.

Even though Zheng Gang was unwilling to accept it, he could not openly frame it if he could not find evidence.

He said to Xiao, "Miss County Master, we will have a date later. Let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, the Jinwu Guards followed him out of the cave in the secret room.

As soon as the person left, the surroundings became quiet.

The weather outside is hot, but the cave in the secret room is particularly cool, even making people feel a little cold.

Xiao stood still and did not move. She looked at the rows of spiritual positions, and her eyes were already filled with tears.

Yan Yunge walked in from outside and stood one step behind his mother Xiao.

"The daughter put a stick of incense on her grandfather and grandmother."

Xiao held back his tears and nodded, "Don't forget your uncles and aunts."

Yan Yunge lit the incense wax, walked forward, bowed respectfully three times, and burned a pillar of incense.

She had never seen any of these relatives written on the spirit card.

I have never heard of many people's names.

During the years when my mother Xiao was in Shanggu County, she almost never mentioned the past of the East Palace.

After coming to the capital, even if I occasionally mention the past of the Eastern Palace, I will stop.

Looking at the strange spirit cards, Yan Yunge looked solemn, and felt shocked and a feeling of unspeakable sadness.

Nearly a thousand spiritual cards, how tragic and bloody the case of "Crown Prince Zhang Yi" in that year was.

There are thousands of people in the East Palace, and there are tens of thousands of officials and their families involved in the East Palace...

The lives of tens of thousands of people were turned into corpses in that case of rebellion, and eventually the dust returned to the dust.

She burned incense to every strange relative who had never met before, and felt sad.

Everyone who walks into this secret cave will be shocked.

She turned around and looked at her mother Xiao, opened her mouth, and asked carefully, "Does your mother hate me?"

Xiao smiled desolately, "Who do you hate?"

"My emperor's grandfather, the Emperor Zhongzong, personally issued an order to thoroughly investigate the Eastern Palace and eliminate all those who dared to resist in the Eastern Palace. If anyone dared to plead for my father, Prince Zhang Yi, in an instant, he would be beaten as a member of the Eastern Palace, be sentenced to prison, and be subjected to inhumane torture. But..."

Xiao raised her head, she was afraid that tears would flow down her face.

"In the end, Emperor Zhongzong issued an order to rehabilitate the Eastern Palace and rehabilitate all those involved. I can survive. The Eastern Palace was dead and the Eastern Palace guards were not dead yet, so I was able to take three thousand Eastern Palace guards away from the capital and marry the Yan family far away. For my mother, I often ask myself who should I hate? The people I hate, I don't know who should I hate, those who have died and those who have died over the years."

She looked sad.

Everyone, whether they are alive or dead, whether they hate or love, is all her relatives in terms of blood ties.

This is the most tragic and terrifying thing.

She lit a stick of incense, slowly stepped forward, bowed three times, and lit a stick of incense for her father and mother, the former princess of the Eastern Palace and the princess.

She lowered her head, felt guilty, and said softly, "I'm sorry!"

After so many years, she has never taken revenge and she is sorry for her dead relatives.

The dead will return to the dust, and the earth will return to the earth.

The living person will continue to suffer.

"Mother, let's go out!"

Yan Yunge stepped forward and held his mother Xiao's arm. This place was too depressing and solemn, and his whole body was tense.

Except for the time when worshiping ancestors every year, Yan Yunge never stepped into this place.

And every time I come in, I come and go in a hurry.

The atmosphere here made her feel uncomfortable.

Xiao nodded, feeling weak all over, and was supported by Yan Yunge to walk out of the cave in the secret room.

There are old servants in the ancestral hall.

...

Ling Mansion.

Yan Yunquan has been paying attention to the movement outside.

He hopes that his judgment is wrong, and everything is a false alarm.

However, when he learned that the Jinwu Guard had been dispatched in large numbers and surrounded the Zhuyang County Lord's Mansion, he instantly understood that his intuition was correct.

He was very scared.

I was also glad that I reacted quickly enough and did not hide in the county lord's mansion, but chose to hide in the Ling Mansion.

I think Jinwu Guard would not even guess that he would hide in Ling Mansion, and Ling Changzhi took him in.

He breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was weak, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"I have to leave the capital quickly. The capital has become a place of right and wrong. If you continue to stay, your life will be lost."

Master Wang sighed, "The Jinwu Guard failed to find the young master in the county lord's mansion. He will definitely search the whole city and strictly detect the city personnel. If you want to leave the city, you have to wait. When the wind is not so tight, you will find a way to leave the city."

Yan Yunquan shook his head repeatedly, "I am worried that there will be more dreams in the night. If I stay in the capital for one more day, I will take more risks. In any case, I have to find a way to leave the city as soon as possible."

Mr. Wang frowned, "If you want to leave the capital safely, you must first send a letter to the guards stationed outside the city to prepare them to welcome the prince. Once you receive the prince, you can go back to Youzhou without stopping. However, there is a northern army stationed in the capital. If the emperor makes up his mind and insists on arresting the prince, even if the prince escapes from the capital, it will be difficult to escape from the capital. In the capital, the northern army is invincible!"

"According to the sir, I have no way to live. Staying in the capital is a dead end, leaving the capital is also a dead end. I would like to ask sir, what should I do to keep my head?"

Yan Yunquan was very impatient at this moment, and he was not as calm as usual.

Master Wang is still stable.

If you can't stand it, you have to stay steady.

He is a master and a counselor.

If he is more panicked than the master's family, he will not be qualified to be a counselor.

He stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and said, "If you want to leave the capital safely and avoid the Northern Army smoothly, you must ask Mr. Ling for help. Without Mr. Ling's help, it will be difficult to escape smoothly by relying on Mr. Ling alone."

Yan Yunquan gritted his teeth, "I'm going to see Brother Changzhi now."

...

"I have escaped the disaster and will not become a prisoner today thanks to Brother Changzhi's help. I respect Brother Changzhi for a cup."

Ling Mansion backyard, flower hall.

The table was filled with wine and food.

Yan Yunquan picked up the wine glass and decisively sipped.

Ling Changzhi took a casual sip and said softly, "Brother Yun Quan, you and I have been in love for many years, and I can't sit idly by and watch you in trouble. Then I have become a despicable villain."

"Difficulties show people's hearts! I am grateful to Brother Changzhi today. If Brother Changzhi is sent, he will be able to say it. However, I am afraid that my life will be short and I will not live that day."
