After listening to what Chen Jing said about some scholars' research on Zhu Di's biological mother, Kong Xue said: "If Concubine Ji is really Zhu Di's biological mother, she can't be the owner of the Xunfengshan Ancient Tomb, right?"

It is indeed not the case. There is a clear record in history where Concubine Ji was buried.

Chen Jing responded: "Well, she is not."

Shen Jing heard some of the meaning and said: "Xiao Chen, you don't mean that Zhu Di's biological mother may not be Empress Ma or Concubine Ji, but may be someone from Xunfengshan Ancient Tomb." The owner of the tomb? It’s just that her status is lower than Concubine Ji, so low that there is no record in the history books.”

The emperor has 3,000 beauties in his harem. This is actually not an exaggeration. Especially for some powerful emperors, almost all the women in the harem, except the elders, can be said to be his. The maids in the harem add up to a very large number. Huge numbers.

In history, it is not impossible for palace ladies to give birth to princes.

It's just that after most palace ladies gave birth to children, most of them had no custody rights, or even relationship rights. The children were taken away directly and given to the queen or a concubine who had no heirs to raise. In this case, there is no record in the history books. It's also normal.

After all, most of the children born to these palace maids did not have very high status and were not well-known in history.

Chen Jingying said: "This is what I am guessing now, but to be honest, I don't really believe it myself. Even if Zhu Di's biological mother is not Empress Ma, she cannot be a woman of very low status. At least she must be a concubine, otherwise His status is too low to be crowned king, let alone launch a campaign of peace and success."

Kong Xue said: "I think so too, but hubby, I think your guess is right. Even if the owner of the Xunfengshan Ancient Tomb is not Zhu Di's biological mother, she may be a woman related to this matter, such as , such as Zhu Di’s wet nurse, or her biological mother’s sister, etc. Zhu Di had a close relationship with her, so he arranged a mountain of funerary objects for her, even using royal standards.”

"It's all possible." Chen Jing said this. When faced with historical mysteries, written records are often unreliable, let alone the speculations of future generations.

The whole truth may only be revealed after entering the Xunfengshan Ancient Tomb and finding the funerary objects that can prove the identity of the tomb owner.

…………

The next day, Shen Jing hurried back to Changcheng. Firstly, she had work to do, and secondly, she had to go back to explain to her grandfather the specific situation that Zhang Yingxin had solved.

Chen Jing and Kong Xue continued to Xunfeng Mountain to help and look after Professor Chen.

"Master, this is my guess." Chen Jing told Professor Chen his guess about the Xunfengshan Ancient Tomb.

After hearing this, Professor Chen couldn't help but smile on his old face and said, "Xiao Jing, I knew you could definitely think of it."

After hearing this, Chen Jing said: "Master, you also guessed like this?"

"Yes, the possibility that the owner of the Xunfengshan Ancient Tomb is related to Zhu Di's biological mother is not small. Of course, it certainly cannot be Zhu Di's biological mother." Professor Chen nodded in agreement.

Chen Jing also said: "If the owner of the Xunfengshan Ancient Tomb is really related to Zhu Di's biological mother, then if we can find funerary objects in the tomb that can prove her identity, wouldn't that solve a historical mystery?"

"Yes, if the guesses of our master and apprentice are correct, even if we still don't know who Zhu Di's biological mother is, we can at least confirm that Zhu Di's biological mother is not Queen Ma." Speaking of this, Professor Chen's old face could not help but show a trace of emotion.

There was some excitement.

One of the meanings of archeology is to verify history and solve historical mysteries. For Professor Chen, this is also one of his achievements in life and his current pursuit.

Chen Jing was also looking forward to it and said, "I hope your guess is correct."

While the master and apprentice were talking, someone from the archaeological team heard someone shouting: "Professor Chen, Professor Chen, it's all done!"

The passage through the main burial chamber was finally widened and stabilized.

Professor Chen smiled and said: "It's really the right time, haha."

With that said, he called Chen Jing: "Xiao Jing, get ready, let's go in and see who the owner of the Xunfengshan Ancient Tomb is, and whether he is really related to Zhu Di's biological mother."

Chen Jing couldn't help but nodded excitedly. After all, for him, in addition to verifying whether the guess was correct, the more important thing was that among the funerary objects in the main tomb chamber, there might be objects related to clues to the Suihou Pearl!

Soon, Professor Chen selected several archaeological team members to enter the main tomb with him, and everyone put on some necessary protective clothing.

Kong Xue stood next to Chen Jing, helping him dress carefully, and she couldn't help but tell him: "Husband, be careful, and remember to take good care of Master and him."

Chen Jing responded: "Yes, I know."

Not long after, the group of people packed up, and under the leadership of a relatively muscular archaeological team member, they carefully bent their waists and headed towards the main tomb chamber through the passage.

Along the way, due to the small space, it can't help but feel a bit depressing. If someone with claustrophobia comes here, it will definitely be unbearable.

However, the group of people entering at this moment are all archaeological teammates with similar experience, so they are naturally not afraid. This is not the first time Chen Jing has entered an ancient tomb.

The size of the Xunfengshan Ancient Tomb is not small. The distance from the outside of the mountain to the main tomb chamber is not too short. In addition, a group of people did not dare to walk too fast, so it took some time to finally enter.

In the main tomb chamber.

"Master, be careful." Chen Jing helped Professor Chen come out of the passage and stepped on the floor tiles of the main tomb.

As soon as you enter here, you can immediately smell a rotten smell. It should be that after the oxygen enters here, some easily perishable objects inside begin to decay quickly.

Professor Chen couldn't help but sigh when he smelled this smell.

Chen Jing also understood his master's mentality and hurriedly comforted him: "Master, at least the cultural relics here have not been stolen by tomb robbers. We can still rescue and protect them."

Professor Chen responded: "That's all I can think of."

At this time, an archaeological team member suddenly asked: "Professor Chen, what should we do first?"

Professor Chen took the bright flashlight in his hand and took a general look at the rather large main tomb chamber. He first looked at the surrounding walls and saw that there were no murals or anything like that. Then he placed them all around the tomb chamber.

All kinds of funerary objects were piled up like a hill, and he responded: "First protect the funerary objects in these tombs."

At this moment, Chen Jing was also looking at the funerary objects around him, and he roughly estimated the number of these funerary objects. It was probably at least in the thousands, and not to mention the quality, the quantity alone was staggering enough.
