Chapter 1096: Shocked, Emperor Yin’s Genuine Work, Slap in the Face (1)
The tomb of JIANG Xuanjin was discovered last year.
After the discovery, the Great Xia Escort Agency and the Heaven Earth Alliance joined forces to secure the site. Every step of the examination was carried out with the utmost caution, fearful of damaging even the slightest detail of the burial site.
The archaeological team was taken by surprise to find that JIANG Xuanjin had been buried alongside a woman.
They were equally bewildered by the techniques employed during the construction of the tomb, which had preserved both bodies in an unblemished state for a millennium, allowing them to retain their youthful appearance.
Netizens were particularly astonished.
[Wait, so JIANG Xuanjin really had a childhood sweetheart? My mind is blown!]
...
[To live separately in life but share a grave in death carries profound significance.]
[I can already imagine a tragic romance. Let me cry for a moment.]
[Is Si Fuqing really a time traveler? I feel like she studied historical texts thoroughly and discovered what historians overlooked, which is why she chose to expand JIANG Xuanjin’s storyline. She’s so dedicated; I hope we see more actors like her in the industry!]
The tomb of JIANG Xuanjin was of great importance, and the historical materials were extremely valuable. Gu Huiyan personally transported them to North State.
Though his true purpose was to find an excuse to check on Si Fuqing.
After a full afternoon of effort, the archaeological team and historians confirmed the identity of the woman in the tomb.
She was the young lady of the Su family, the Zhongyong Marquis .
“Qingqing, why don’t we find a professional actor for the role?” Ji Qingyao hesitated. “This drama is significant for you, and I’m afraid I might hold you back.”
“Not at all! If I let them take the role, that would truly be a setback. What’s most important for actors in period dramas? It’s their demeanor,” Si Fuqing said, propping her head up with her hand. “They can’t even walk properly, swaying unsteadily, let alone wield weapons. This drama is a historical piece; should we let it go?”
“Si Laoshi is right,” Director Lu sighed deeply. “I was thinking that if the supporting roles’ fighting scenes were subpar, we could use special effects to modify them later. Thankfully, Si Laoshi knows many capable fighters.”
Once the historians unearthed the details about Su Yunchu, the screenwriter enriched the storyline based on this newfound information.
She added a scene where JIANG Xuanjin and Su Yunchu engaged in a duel.
Initially, he worried that Ji Qingyao would struggle against JIANG Shuihan, but to his surprise, Ji Qingyao held her ground without faltering.
Had he not called for a stop, they could have fought for a full day and night.
Director Lu felt a new wave of distress.
Since everyone in the crew was adept at fighting, he found himself having to remind them repeatedly to take it easy, or else the cameras would fail to capture the action.
Ji Qingyao, feeling relieved, offered a subtle smile. “Qingqing, I really like this role. I’ll portray her well.”
“Mm.” Si Fuqing replied lazily, “And I also understand what they’re aiming at. They’re not genuinely interested in filming; one is seeking to ride the coattails of fame, and the other to capitalize on historical figures’ legacies.”
Director Lu agreed wholeheartedly, “Indeed, some are major marketing players, and I certainly won’t consider them.”
As they spoke, the door suddenly swung open, and the assistant director rushed in, panting heavily.
“Teacher Si, Director Lu, great news!” The assistant director exclaimed excitedly. “Can you guess what the archaeological team found in JIANG Xuanjin’s tomb? The genuine work from Emperor Yin!”
