The speaker was intentional and the listener was thoughtful. Nangong Ao spoke up and said, "The queen is worried too much, but Mr. Zhou is actually sent by me to protect the queen. He is not a bad person."

Ye Wange said, "Master Zhou was sent by the emperor to protect me, so I can rest assured.

There are rumors recently that since the Emperor investigated the affairs of Gushui Village, he suspected that the Ye family was related to the affairs of Gushui Village, and therefore suspected that his concubine was also related to those matters."

Nangong Ao closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep with a calm face as if he was asleep. After Ye Wange asked, Nangong Ao remained silent. She opened her eyes and looked at the roof in deep thought.

"Who made these rumors?" Nangong Ao turned over fiercely, with a threatening face hanging above Ye Wange's face.

Ye Wange, who was looking at the roof in deep thought, was startled by Nangong Ao's sudden move. When he came back to his senses and looked into Nangong Ao's vicious eyes, Ye Wange reached out and pushed Nangong Ao's chest and replied quietly.

, "Rumors! Such rumors are circulating everywhere in the palace!"

Nangong Ao followed Ye Wange's hand and lay back on the couch, "Why haven't I heard any rumors about this?"

Ye Wange replied, "Who dares to risk his life and seek death by telling these rumors in front of the emperor!"

Nangong Ao was silent for a while and asked seriously, "Do you believe it?"

"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. What matters is whether the emperor really doubts me as rumored?" Ye Wange asked rhetorically.

"No." Nangong Ao denied.

Ye Wange closed his eyes, but Nangong Ao spoke again, "That night, someone did find someone from the Ye family, but even if there were people from the Ye family, I would not doubt the queen."

Ye Wange listened to Nangong Ao's lies and said to Nangong Ao, "How will the emperor explain Zhou Qiang's matter?"

Ye Wange mentioned Zhou Qiang's matter again. Nangong Ao looked at Ye Wange calmly, not feeling guilty at all, and continued the lie just now, "I was sent to protect you!"

"Not surveillance?" Ye Wange asked bluntly.

Nangong Ao laughed twice, "How could it be surveillance?"

"The person who caught the gangster turned into a gangster and entered my palace. Not only did the gangster show off his sophistry, but even the emperor did the same." Ye Wange mocked.

Nangong Ao listened and laughed and said, "Zhou Qiang's explanation is indeed full of holes, but only these seemingly many unexplainable facts are the truth. If Zhou Qiang's explanation today is smooth and flawless, then it is made up."

, it was carefully considered and considered over and over again!”

Ye Wange was so angry that her lungs exploded when she heard what Nangong Ao said so clearly and unreasonably and wanted to fight for three points. She glared at Nangong Ao and said, "Thank you for your kindness. Next time, the emperor will send someone to protect my concubine.

Your Majesty, please give me a warning in advance to avoid such farce as today."

After hearing this, Nangong Ao responded repeatedly, "Well, I did something wrong!"

Ye Wange sighed softly, closed her eyes and said angrily, "I'm asleep! I'm so sleepy that I can't open my eyes!"

After Ye Wange fell asleep with the excitement of victory, Nangong Ao was tossing and turning on the couch.

Nangong Ao returned to Yangxin Hall, and Zhou Qiang reported to Nangong Ao that he was framed by the queen.

After hearing this, Nangong Ao sneered at Zhou Qiang, "Trash!"

Zhou Qiang stood there without even daring to show off his anger. He almost risked his life if the matter was not handled well. Zhou Qiang was still frightened when he thought about it. At the same time, he felt that the Empress was not a simple person.

"Continue to investigate the affairs of Gushui Village. Don't worry about the queen." Nangong Ao was silent for a while and said in a deep voice.

After Zhou Qiang obeyed the order, he retreated as fast as the wind.

In Funing Palace, Ye Wange was sitting there drinking tea complacently. Thinking about the scene of Zhou Qiang's arrest last night, Ye Wange couldn't help laughing.

"What happy event makes you smile so happily, Queen?" Han Yue asked looking at Ye Wange who was laughing alone.

Ye Wange recognized Han Yue's voice, raised his eyes and said to Han Yue, "Haven't you heard?"

"Is it because of the assassination in the palace last night?" Han Yue asked.

Ye Wange nodded. When Han Yue heard that it happened last night, she also chuckled, covered her mouth with her handkerchief and said, "What you wrote and performed yourself is not bad. Even the emperor didn't take advantage of you."

Han Yue knew that Nangong Ao sent Zhou Qiang to spy on Funing Palace, so she admired Ye Wange's strategy for such an assassin's farce written and performed by Ye Wange.

"Let's not talk about the past." Ye Wange immediately interrupted the topic when Han Yue mentioned what happened last night.

"Tonight, Imperial Physician Song will go to the Imperial Tomb with you. You must be careful when you go there. Although the craftsman understands the structure of the Imperial Tomb, there are many dangers in the Imperial Tomb. You cannot relax for a moment." Ye Wange warned.

"Yes." Han Yue responded seriously.

In the evening, Liu Han, the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion, took an old man with a slight bow to see Cao Tianyue. After handing the old man to Cao Tianyue, Liu Han left.

Cao Tianyue glanced at the craftsmen brought by Liu Han to participate in the construction of the imperial tomb, and asked, "Do you know the structure of the imperial tomb?"

This man was a strong man who was captured to build the mausoleum. "Yes, the common people were captured to work as laborers. When the imperial mausoleum was about to be built, all the people who participated were massacred. Only the young man and a ten-year-old boy were killed."

The next year's child escaped."

Cao Tianyue looked at the panicked old man in front of him and said, "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you. After we visit the imperial tomb, we will give you a generous reward and send you back safely."

"Thank you, Zhang San, a common man." Zhang San thought that as long as he could keep him alive, he would not dare to expect any reward.

Late at night, Cao Tianyue took craftsman Zhang San to meet Han Yue and Song Qisheng at the imperial mausoleum.

Cao Tianyue took out the picture of the imperial mausoleum drawn by Ye Wange, looked at it for a long time, pointed to a place and said, "The entrance to the cave is here."

So the group of people searched for the entrance of the cave according to the drawing, and found the entrance next to two large green trees.

Cao Tianyue looked at the thick stone door that blended with the mountain and asked, "How to open this door?"

"There must be a mechanism." Song Qisheng reached out and groped around the door.

Han Yue also followed Song Qisheng's example and touched everywhere.

Cao Tianyue put his hands on the stone door and pushed it hard.

Craftsman Zhang San stood aside and watched. They were involved in the construction of the interior of the imperial tomb and had no idea where the mechanism of this door was.

When Song Qisheng's hand touched a raised stone, the stone actually shrank inward, and then he heard the sound of the stone door opening.

"The door is open! The door is open!" Han Yue said excitedly.

Cao Tianyue glanced at Han Yue and reminded, "Keep your voice down."

Han Yue immediately reached out to cover her mouth and carefully looked behind Cao Tianyue.

After walking into the imperial mausoleum, Cao Tianyue spread out the drawings, and several people were studying them carefully. The structure of the imperial mausoleum was very complicated, with Cao Yan's tomb in the east and Nangong Ye's tomb in the north.

"Shall we split up?" Han Yue suggested.

"no."

"No." Han Yue's proposal was opposed by Cao Tianyue and Song Qisheng.

"There are many dangers here. If you act separately, you can save time. However, there is only one craftsman who knows this place well. Without the guidance of the craftsman, you will encounter danger." Cao Tianyue said.

Song Qisheng did not explain the reason for his disapproval, but turned to Zhang San and asked, "Go forward, where are the organs?"

"Go east, and the first level is Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart." Zhang San said.

"Where is the agency?" Song Qisheng asked.

"Behind a lantern on the stone wall." Zhang San replied.

After Song Qisheng heard this, he walked forward cautiously. Not far away, he saw a lantern hanging on the stone walls on the left and right.

"Which side is the agency?" Song Qisheng stopped and asked Zhang San.

"On the right." Zhang San replied.

Song Qisheng took down the lantern and reached out to press the switch. As expected, he saw swords emerging from all directions but not being fired. Those swords were like countless honeycombs fixed in the stone walls on the left and right, as well as above the head.

"Fortunately, there are none under my feet." Cao Tianyue said as he looked at those arrows hitting his tongue.

Unexpectedly, Zhang San's words made Cao Tianyue tremble and he no longer dared to take a step forward, "In front of Mr. Cao's toes is an abyss."

After hearing this, Cao Tianyue immediately stopped there and did not dare to go forward. Han Yue walked there and carefully looked at the ground that had nothing unusual, "Where is the mechanism?"

The Bagua array pattern on the ground on the left.

Han Yue ran to the left and clicked on the Bagua pattern with her foot. Sure enough, she heard the sound of the earth shaking, and the flat ground in front of Cao Tianyue's toes suddenly turned into a big black pit.

Cao Tianyue looked at his toes hanging over the pit, breathed a sigh of relief, leaned forward and stretched his head to take a look at the bottomless pit.

Han Yue stepped on it again with her foot, and the hole was filled up again in an instant, and the ground was restored to completeness.

"This mechanism is too confusing!" Han Yue sighed.

Zhang San immediately replied, "There are sixteen more mechanisms ahead."

After hearing this, Han Yue almost lost her balance and fell to the ground. She thought about burying the dead. Is it so mysterious?

The previous sixteen mechanisms were all cracked under the guidance of Zhang San.

When a group of people entered the main tomb, they were all stunned by the scene in front of them. There was a big luminous pearl in the middle of the tomb, and it was surrounded by all kinds of gold and silver jewelry.

Han Yue looked at these rich burials and sighed, "The Emperor has a deep love for Empress Zhengyuan!"

The Queen Zhengyuan in Han Yue's mouth was the one who was granted the posthumous title after Cao Yan's death. Cao Tianyue was filled with anger when he heard this!

Thinking that when Cao Yan was alive, Nangong Ao would use these extraneous things to send Cao Yan away. Now that he is dead, his sister still gets such extraneous things.

Cao Tianyue was mourning his sister's fate, Han Yue was lamenting the burial objects, and Song Qisheng was looking for Cao Yan's body everywhere.

After searching around and unable to find Cao Yan's body, Song Qisheng asked strangely, "Where is Queen Zhengyuan?"
