The Shadow Squad had already brought in another coffin. They carefully placed it next to the Phoenix Tattooed Coffin and then slowly backed out, standing guard at the entrance to the tomb chamber.

The majestic coffin within the Royal Tomb only contained the supreme emperor"s dragon robe, and inside this small coffin was his real body.

Mu Yunyao followed King Yue up and knelt in front of the two coffins, bowing her head deeply to pay her respects.

Mu Yunyao suppressed her sobs as she looked at King Yue"s trembling shoulder, and only felt an extreme sense of oppression in her heart, as if she was in extreme pain. After forty-nine days of mourning and mourning, he had lost a lot of weight. The outline of his facial features had become even more obvious, and the la.s.situde in his eyes was hard to conceal: "From the moment I was born, I have lived in the cold palace. When I was a little younger, I could not understand why.

"I can"t step out of that square-shaped courtyard. I even asked him many times about the situation outside the palace, thinking that others are the same as me …"

"Duke Yue"s voice was hoa.r.s.e, causing Mu Yunyao to feel extreme heartache, but she didn"t say anything to interrupt him. When he grew up and was bullied a few times, he knew what kind of existence the Cold Palace was, so he gave up on thinking about leaving. He would take a portrait and tell me that it was my mother, the most respected woman in the Dali Dynasty, the queen of the mother of a nation. Even though it was just a portrait, I felt that it was the gentlest girl in the world. After that, the King broke into the cold palace and destroyed the painting. I angrily smashed his head and was forced to kneel in the cold palace courtyard for three days. After that, even though everything seemed normal on the surface, life in the dark became increasingly difficult. Slowly, I also became like this …

You"ve changed your personality. "

Mu Yunyao held King Yue"s hand, silently giving him support. Yue Yang took a deep breath, as if he could suppress the pain in his heart in this way: "When I grow up and become more sensible, I found out from others that my mother poisoned my royal father"s ten adult princes and also killed many concubines in order to clear the way for me.

"That n.o.ble woman became what everyone called a sinner, the one who murdered the emperor"s heir. As the empress, she did not have a funeral after death. She did not even have a memorial tablet set up, and could not be buried in the imperial mausoleum …"

"Fourth master …" The aura around King Yue"s body was too sorrowful and heavy, causing Mu Yunyao to not know how to speak up to comfort him. Yao"er, did you know? I had never seen my mother before, but looking at the portrait, I had the feeling that she wasn"t that kind of person. I don"t believe that she was the one who murdered my son... I want to find out the truth. I want to return her innocence. However, he was unable to do anything about the palace, so he ended up in the west of Guangdong Province.

Even though I"ve suffered a lot, I can still endure it with the support of this faith … Until I found out the truth from royal father … "

Yue Yang had only described it in a few sentences, but he had accompanied Yue Yang in this ordeal from the moment he understood until he was 23 years old … "Fourth Master, being able to sleep peacefully here is a hundred times better than being in the Imperial Tomb for the empress." Mu Yunyao didn"t know what had happened that year, but seeing this meticulously arranged tomb chamber and hearing that the Emperor didn"t enter the Royal Tomb after his death and only guarded Empress Wei"s feelings, her feelings towards him could be seen.

To them, staying here and staying together was their greatest happiness. King Yue nodded, "I didn"t understand it in the past, but it was only when I met you and liked you that I understood how precious relationships are. Yunyao, we have to be good, and never repeat the same mistakes as Imperial Father and Mother. Although they could be together after death, when they were alive, the torment of being unable to be together meant that they would never be able to be together …

"What a pity."

"Master Four, we won"t do that."

The two of them knelt in silence for a moment, then went forward to pay their respects. After they finished offering incense, they slowly left the tomb chamber.

The heavy stone door was sealed, and the mountain returned to its previous tranquility.

Mu Yunyao looked at Wei Yi at the side. "Is there any way to completely seal this place off?"

"Reporting to Master, this mechanism was designed by the previous Shadow Squad. As long as the mechanism is destroyed, no one can open the tomb."

"Then destroy the mechanism. There is no longer a need for outsiders to disturb this place."

"Yes."

Yue w.a.n.g and Mu Yunyao carried each other down the mountain. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they heard the m.u.f.fled sound of a mechanism being destroyed. After that, there was no movement.

Yue Yang stopped and turned his head to take a look. He then tightened his grip on Mu Yunyao"s hand. "Yao`er, let"s go."

"Yes."

Thus, the secret between the emperor and queen fell into a long slumber with the destruction of the mechanism.

It was already the latter half of the night when they had returned to the Residence of Yuwai.

After a few days of busy work, the two of them slept until the sun rose.

This sleep had been going on for a long time, and when Mu Yunyao woke up, she felt her head grow dizzy. It took her a while to wake up, and the moment she opened her eyes, she saw the t.i.tan lying beside her, propping his head up with one hand. His eyes were focused on her, and it was unknown how long he had been staring at her.

"Yao"er, you"re awake?"

"Master Four, why didn"t you wake me up?"

"I"ve been exhausted these past few days. Seeing that you"re sleeping soundly, how could I bear to disturb you?"

When Jin Lan and Jin Qiao heard the sound of movement in the room, they knocked lightly on the door. "Your Highness, Princess, your servants may come in?"

There was a smile on Jin Lan and Jin Qiao"s face as they helped Mu Yunyao wash up and change her clothes. They said, "My prince, my royal consort, lunch is already prepared. Do you want the kitchen to send it over?"

Lunch? Mu Yunyao blinked. This was the first time she"d woken up so late. He stepped forward and helped her by removing a strand of hair from her ear. He gently stroked her ear, which had a small pearl pendant on her head, and gently said: "Get someone to pa.s.s the meal to me. Afterwards, I"ll go to the palace to visit the emperor.

Accompany her for a while. "

"Alright."

They had just gone through an extremely grieving funeral. The grief and heaviness in their hearts were still there, so they both had no appet.i.te. However, they both coincidentally forced themselves to eat something before separating to do their own things.

Mu Yunyao had just sat in the carriage when she heard the sound of sobbing coming from outside. She couldn"t help but frown.

"What"s wrong?"

Jin Lan quickly went down to check and returned after a while with a hesitant face. "Miss, the one who was crying just now was a maid from the Jin palace. She said that she wanted to invite Miss to the Heavenly Prison to meet Prince Jin."

"Since a maid is able to find out about the situation in the Sky Prison, the Ministry of Justice should clean it up properly. Bring her to Shuntian and let Sir Shen have a proper trial." Mu Yunyao"s expression was indifferent. What happened to Ning Junjin was enough to settle the scores between them. She didn"t want to meet this person again. "Yes."
