Chapter 134 Mausoleum
At the banquet, Fuyou toasted Runyu, Suzaku and Mu Yu one by one.
"Commander, I'm really sorry that I couldn't treat you well when I came to the demon world this time."
Runyu was as cold as ice, took half a sip of the wine, and poured the wine glass on the table heavily, Fuyou couldn't help raising his eyebrows, Mu Yu, who was next to him, saw that the two of them looked like black-eyed chickens, and didn't know what happened , I had no choice but to come over to the round field as soon as possible.
"Demon King, I respect you, respect you."
Suzaku leaned close to Runyu's ear, whispered something softly, and Runyu's face softened a little, she tilted her head, stopped looking at Fuyou, and only talked and laughed with Suzaku in a low voice.In Fuyou's heart, a small blue flame rose slowly, and he almost couldn't stop the expression on his face.
Suzaku must be trying to appease Runyu with the marriage, it must be!
Runyu tilted her head slightly, seeing Fuyou holding back her anger, pretending not to see it.
"Miss Suzaku, is there any news from Yingzhao?"
Suzaku's heart skipped a beat, and he said softly, "I haven't heard of it, maybe Fuyou hasn't set it up yet?"
Runyu was a little puzzled: "Based on his prudence, he should not make trouble at the banquet. It's just that if he had other actions, how could Yingzhao not have heard of it at all?"
Suzaku said softly: "Maybe he doesn't want to kill you in front of me. In this way, I will find an excuse to leave before the banquet is over. I think you will receive the news later. When you need my help, then Send me a message."
Runyu nodded.
After drinking for a few rounds, Suzaku really found a reason, saying that Shang Qingtian had something to deal with, so he left the table first.
Fuyou was quite surprised, he was still thinking about how to avoid Suzaku and lure Runyu into his trap, but he didn't expect that Suzaku seemed to deliberately create opportunities for him.
He vaguely felt a little uneasy, but Yingzhao had arranged everything according to his instructions, and he absolutely refused to let him let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill his rival.
He got up, came to Runyu's table, and said with a smile: "The commander-in-chief is going to go back to Qingtian later?"
Runyu said coldly: "Where am I going back, don't bother the demon king."
Fuyou said inscrutablely: "Before returning to Shangqingtian, the commander-in-chief doesn't want to go to other places to have a look?"
Runyu's heart moved, she raised her head and looked at Fuyou: "What do you mean?"
Fuyou chuckled lightly: "There are many places, such as the tomb of an old friend..."
Runyu's face changed drastically, and she suddenly stood up: "Fuyou, what do you want to do?"
Fu You smiled and made a gesture to let him sit down: "The Commander really cares about this old man. But you are thinking about resurrecting the old love while holding on to the new one, isn't it too greedy? ?”
Runyu held back her anger: "You don't even want to let go of those who have passed away, you demon king are so capable!"
Fuyou shrugged his shoulders and motioned him to whisper: "Don't worry, I haven't done anything yet. If you don't believe me, why not go to the tomb to see for yourself?"
Runyu's face was gloomy, Fuyou's words obviously meant to lure you into the urn, but it's a pity that even though he knew it was a trap, he couldn't help but step into it.
Not because of anything else, just because there is the woman he loves.
She fell into reincarnation for him, and died to protect him. After death, her soul was forever trapped in mermaid tears, and now even the body could not find peace.
Everything is his fault.
Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, he must go for it.
Fuyou looked at him with a smile on his face, never thought that the woman named Rongle held such a heavy weight in Runyu's heart, and the effect of this trick was unexpectedly good.
He whispered in Runyu's ear: "Commander, please do it yourself."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The royal cemetery of Lintian Kingdom is located on the north side of the imperial palace. In addition to the buried emperors and queens in the entire cemetery, there are also some princes with outstanding achievements.Not every member of the royal family is eligible to enter the royal cemetery after death, and there is only one reason why Princess Rongle is allowed to be buried here.
——She was posthumously named queen.
The specifications of her mausoleum surpassed that of every empress in the entire history of Lintian Kingdom, and its luxury level could even be called a palace.
After her death, Zongzheng Wuyou took advantage of the opportunity of holding the funeral to poison the water and wine used for entertaining the guests. He rose up and wiped out his other brothers, including the prince, and put his father under house arrest.Later, relying on the military power he controlled, he quickly took control of the court and ascended to the throne.
No one expected that just a second ago, he was in pain because of the death of the princess, holding his wife's body and weeping bitterly in front of the public, regretting that Prince Li, who hadn't closed his eyes for several days and nights, would choose to attend his wife's burial in front of everyone Ritual, rebellion when unsuspecting.
After he came to power, he ordered the historian to falsify the fact that he had seized the throne, and ordered craftsmen to overhaul the queen's tomb.People don't know why, but they all say that the new emperor of the dynasty has a deep love for the deceased Princess Li. Not only does he not mind her shameful derailment and suicide, but he also insists on burying her with the title of queen. He is really a rare infatuated man in the world who is unwilling to stand up.How many girls in the country mentioned this romantic past of the monarch, all of them were extremely envious, wishing to use all means, just to ask him to take a closer look.
Little did he know that this woman whom he loved so much, even in death, was completely taken advantage of by him, leaving nothing behind.
At this moment, he was standing in front of Rongle's grave, watching silently.
"Your Majesty, it's getting dark already, why don't you come visit the empress again tomorrow." The eunuch next to her persuaded.
Zongzheng Wuyou looked sad, nodded, turned and left.
A figure flashed out from behind the tree, looking at Zongzheng Wuyou's retreating back, a trace of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then turned serious.
He walked slowly to the tomb, dressed in white, which should have been as flawless as a beautiful jade, but because of his gloomy mood, it seemed to be covered with a layer of gray.
"Le'er, I'm here."
Runyu used the teleportation technique to enter the mausoleum and walked to a crystal coffin.
The material of this crystal coffin is exquisite, and it is made with special techniques. It is invaluable and can keep the corpse from decaying for a long time.
Runyu stopped a few steps away from the coffin. He knew that Fuyou must have set a trap in the mausoleum, waiting for him to touch it. Nothing unusual about the mausoleum was found.
Now, the only thing that hasn't been tested is the coffin.
He hesitated, approached slowly, looked inside the coffin, and a beautiful face came into view.The woman in the crystal coffin has no ups and downs in her chest and abdomen, and cannot see the breath of life, but her face is lifelike, as if she just fell asleep, her skin is very pale, her lips are bloodless, her eyes are tightly closed, but there is a faint smile on the corner of her mouth , as she looked before she died.
He looked at that familiar face for a long time, and he was so dazed, he reached out his hand involuntarily to stroke the edge of the crystal coffin, and suddenly found a small mole beside Rongle's ear, and he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.
In his impression, Rong Le did not have this mole on his body.
He observed the mole vigilantly, and suddenly found that the mole was constantly expanding.
It's the Corpse Devouring Curse!
Runyu's face turned pale in an instant, Fuyou actually used such a vicious spell to deal with him!
Without thinking about it, he stretched out his hand to open the coffin for rescue. Suddenly, a golden light descended from the sky, and someone stopped in front of him.
"Runyu, no!"
Runyu looked at Suzaku.
"why?"
Suzaku hesitated for a few seconds, knowing that if she didn't tell the truth, Runyu would definitely not listen to her advice.
"The coffin has been tampered with hands and feet, and it is filled with powder made from Nessence grass. Once you open the coffin, the powder that gushes out will turn into mist and enter your mouth and nose, making you lose all spiritual power , and the highly poisonous mechanism triggered by the coffin will kill you!"
Runyu said: "I can't watch her body be destroyed."
Suzaku pleaded: "Once the Corpse Devouring Curse occurs, it will be irreversible, even if you use your spiritual power to break it, it will be too late! Runyu, think about the soul lamp, think about Kuang Lu's soul, a living person is more important than a corpse, isn't it?" ?”
Runyu's hand stopped in mid-air, but her face became more and more gloomy.
He said softly, "You already knew what Fuyou was going to do, didn't you?"
Suzaku met his cold eyes, felt that he was looking at a stranger, couldn't help shivering, and said boldly.
"Runyu, if you miss this opportunity, it will be very difficult for you to subdue Fuyou and get the soul-hunting lamp. As long as you pretend to be tricked, hide yourself, and lure him..."
"Miss Suzaku, I told you that this is my own business and has nothing to do with you."
he said coldly.
"I know you've always been resourceful, but what I dislike the most is a woman who thinks she's smart."
Suzaku was startled, his eyes foggy.This is the first time he has said such harsh words to her.
Seeing that she was about to cry, Runyu couldn't bear it. Although her tone was still harsh, her tone was a little softer.
"You know the weight of Rongle in my heart, but you still touch my bottom line again and again. Do you really think I won't do anything to you?"
Suzaku's eye circles were slightly red, she bit her lip and said, "I'm all for you—"
If it wasn't for fulfilling her promise and helping him revive Kuang Lu as soon as possible, why would she be so eager for quick success!
Runyu sighed softly and stared at her: "Have you ever asked me if I need it?"
It is precisely because he understands her affection that he is tolerant and treats her differently.But what happened today was beyond his tolerance.
He looked at Suzaku who was blocking him, and said seriously, "Get out of the way."
Suzaku stood guard in front of the crystal coffin, not leaving even a single step, but her heart was trembling.Once Runyu forcibly opened the coffin, neither of them would be able to escape!
She took Runyu's hand and begged again: "Runyu, even if I'm wrong, you can blame me however you want, the matter has come to this point, you must not fall for it!"
Suddenly, Runyu looked up at the sky, quickly pulled her hand away, and hit her with a palm, Suzaku felt dizzy for a while, and was pushed out of the mausoleum by a teleportation spell.
With a deafening bang, the mausoleum, which was still majestic just now, has turned into a pile of ruins.
"Runyu—" Suzaku cried out, and was about to rush up, but was stopped by Yingzhao who was guarding the mausoleum.
"Shenjun, have you told the commander-in-chief the plan?"
Suzaku hurriedly said, "I told you, but..."
She didn't expect the mechanism to be triggered so quickly.
Yingzhao breathed a sigh of relief: "Since he already knows the king's strategy, he won't die so easily. You have to believe in his ability."
Suzaku stopped in her tracks. Since Runyu was able to save her before the mausoleum collapsed, she must have a way to escape the mechanism inside.
She thought of what he had just said to her, and felt a bit bitter in her mouth.Could it be that everything I did for him was really wrong?
She was a little dazed, and forced herself to stabilize her mind: "Everything is going according to the original plan."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Your Majesty, everything is as you expected. Runyu must have lost her soul by now."
Fuyou felt that it was a little bit unbelievable.
"Yingzhao, did he really die like this?"
Yingzhao replied respectfully: "The king has a great plan to use the woman's body as bait. Even if he refuses to be fooled, the boulders in the mausoleum collapse and the coffin is destroyed, and the forgetfulness grass will spew out like poisonous mist. It can be said to be foolproof. How could Runyu not die?"
Fuyou laughed, and said, "That's true."
Yingzhao leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, just in case, isn't it safer for us to check it out ourselves?"
Fuyou nodded, and walked towards the ruins of the mausoleum.
