Chapter 1803 Creating Disaster
The two guards watched helplessly as Rong Jingjing carried the Fifth Princess and led her to the carriage in the palace.
They have no choice but to keep up.
Rong Jingjing heard Zhou Shiyue's telepathic message: "There's something wrong with the handkerchief she's holding. Check it carefully and don't fall for it."
Rong Jingjing paused for a moment, then understood.
The Fifth Princess was taken away just like that. Zhou Shiyue walked towards the pile of bricks and stones and saw a faint green light.
He reached out to dig.
Qingfeng quickly said, "Your Highness, shall I come down?"
"No need, I will dig it myself."
Lu Zhaoling just told him to come over by himself, maybe this thing shouldn't be touched casually?
"Keep an eye on this side and don't let anyone get close," Zhou Shiyue said.
Qingfeng didn't see the green light, but seeing Zhou Shiyue insist on doing it himself, he knew there must be something unusual inside.
He immediately stepped back a little and guarded the spot, preventing anyone from getting close.
Some people saw that this was the Prince of Jin, and they didn't dare to come over.
Zhou Shiyue dug for a while, and when he saw that the green light was getting stronger, he reached out and grabbed the green-glowing thing and pulled it out.
The object was still encased in stones and clods of earth, so its full form was not visible.
It looks like a bunch of unruly things now.
Zhou Shiyue held it in his hand and felt a chill, which made him shudder inexplicably.
A surge of rage welled up in his mind, and he almost wanted to smash that thing down on the back of Qingfeng's head.
This is truly bizarre!
"Qingfeng!" Zhou Shiyue immediately said in a deep voice, "Tear off your robes!"
what?
Qingfeng was surprised. Why would they tear off his robes for no reason?
Despite his doubts, he instinctively obeyed the order and immediately tore off a piece of his robe.
Zhou Shiyue used the hem of his robe to wrap the thing several times before he could suppress the anger in his heart.
He felt the amulet was slightly warm again.
The Fifth Princess came specifically for this.
Since her purpose is so clear, does she know the origin and use of this thing? If so, she should have been prepared to retrieve it. Why does she know these things?
Zhou Shiyue handed the item to Qingfeng.
"Hold on tight, don't untie the cloth."
Qingfeng had clearly sensed Zhou Shiyue's change and dared not be negligent in the slightest. "Yes."
"Let's go find the princess."
Qingfeng quickly grabbed the item and followed Zhou Shiyue to find Lu Zhaoling.
As they passed through this area, there were more than a dozen injured people. Some had relatives looking for them, and others were helping to bandage their wounds. The number of people kept increasing.
In another open space, there were thirteen corpses, and many people rushed towards them, shouting and crying.
Lord Chen, along with his officers, was there maintaining order and registering the identities of the deceased, working themselves to the bone.
Sheng San Niangzi and Yin Yunting have also gone to find Lu Zhaoling.
Yin Changxing and the others also arrived, so at this moment, Lu Zhaoling and her group of people were standing a little in front of the gap in the city wall, which was somewhat conspicuous.
Some people initially found it strange and couldn't help but come over to watch, but they were quickly persuaded to leave by Qingsong and Qingbai.
Knowing that Lu Zhaoling was the Princess Consort of Jin, the people dared not disobey.
When Zhou Shiyue arrived, Lu Zhaoling was talking to Yin Changxing, and both of them looked rather unwell.
"Your Majesty."
Hearing the crowd calling for Zhou Shiyue, Lu Zhaoling turned around and asked, "Did you get the things?"
"Got it."
Qingfeng, who was behind him, immediately raised what he was holding.
The crowd noticed the large piece missing from the hem of his robe and felt a pang of sympathy.
Yin Changxing looked at the thing and frowned. "What is it? Its aura is very strange."
“Master, what I just saw was something that was emitting a green light.” Lu Zhaoling immediately called to Sheng San Niangzi, “Grandma, put the thing in your hand mirror first, don’t touch it.”
Why are you still calling her "Grandma"?
Reluctantly, Madam Sheng walked towards Qingfeng, took out her hand mirror, and with a wave of her hand, put the item inside.
To be honest, Qingfeng felt a sense of relief.
Because when the prince took that thing just now, his eyes became a little scary, and the thing was wrapped in several layers of cloth and had a somewhat cold feeling.
He was genuinely afraid of running into it.
After giving the items to Madam Sheng, he immediately felt safe.
"Is something wrong here?" Zhou Shiyue asked Lu Zhaoling.
“There are forty-nine skeletons sealed inside this wall,” Lu Zhaoling said.
She had just been talking about this with her master.
She determined this by carefully feeling the wall after using a talisman. The death aura of each skeleton was slightly different, so she spent a lot of time counting them.
"What did you say?"
Zhou Shiyue's expression changed drastically; he couldn't believe it.
The retired emperor also came over and happened to hear Lu Zhaoling's words. He was shocked as well.
"This is a city wall. The purpose of a city wall is to defend against enemies and protect the people. How come there are so many corpses inside this city wall?"
This is simply unbelievable and terrifying!
Lu Zhaoling said, "We don't know when it was cast in yet, but A-Yue said that this part of the wall has never been repaired, so it is very likely that it was buried when it was built a hundred years ago."
"This walled city was originally... built by the previous dynasty," the retired emperor said. "Could it be something done by the previous dynasty?"
Why would the previous dynasty do such a thing?
"Was the collapse of the western city wall due to this?" Zhou Shiyue asked.
Lu Zhaoling said, "Yes and no. Someone must have used the corpse talisman inside to crack the city wall. So, this was a disaster deliberately created by someone, but it is indeed related to these forty-nine corpses."
"Is there even a question? Those who made the move must be remnants of the previous dynasty!" The retired emperor was furious. "They only just found out that so many corpses were cast here, and only then did they know how to use them!"
"This is outrageous! They truly don't care about the lives of ordinary people; they've killed or injured dozens of people with a single move!"
He just went to check; thirteen people died, and there were more than a dozen injured.
What did those people do wrong?
They were all innocent, unarmed, and ordinary people who just wanted to live a normal life.
What good would it do the mastermind to kill them?
Lu Zhaoling looked at Zhou Shiyue, "My master and I were just speculating that they must have discovered something buried in this wall, which is why they knocked it down. Otherwise, the corpses buried here have been there for over a hundred years, so it shouldn't have been used only at this time to kill some civilians."
"You mean, they caused this disaster just to get this thing?" Zhou Shiyue asked coldly.
He hadn't forgotten that this was what Xiao Wu wanted to retrieve.
That means Xiao Wu is inextricably linked to this disaster.
“Very likely, we need to check again.” Lu Zhaoling looked at his hands and saw that they were dirty, knowing that he had dug them himself. “Let’s go back first.”
