Jing Nan wordlessly nodded her head. For this reason, she had no choice but to ask to guard the mausoleum, hide in the sparsely populated Royal Tomb, and do rough work with great difficulty and care, not interacting with others, until she secretly gave birth.
At that time, he could also be considered to be resourceful. Not only did he entrust someone to take care of her in the Royal Tomb, he even hid this matter completely and took the child out of the tomb.
It was just that he had promised to call her out of the Royal Tomb, yet he had failed.
"Have you ever thought that it might be the Helian Divine Art that wanted to kill us to keep our mouths shut?"
Jing Nan thought for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't think it was him, but if he wanted to kill me, why would he waste so much effort to sneak attack me from behind?"
Helian Yu thought about it, if Helian Divine Art wanted to kill someone, it could be done in a variety of ways. Ordinary palace maids like Jing Nan would die even if they hit ten people with one palm.
"Does the Helian Art have any other children?"
Should... "No, he's not a particularly amorous person, and I've never heard of him having a family." There was a hint of sadness in Jing Nan's eyes. Perhaps she was thinking of her own child, or perhaps she was somewhat disappointed by Helian's powers.
Helian Yu opened his mouth. He thought of something, but in the end, he did not say it. He silently walked to the entrance, jumped up, retrieved his long blade, and watched as the entrance clicked shut.
He wondered, if Jing Nan knew that his child was being burned alive, would she be so sad and desperate that she would go crazy? Although she hadn't asked anything about the child, he could tell from her twinkling eyes who she was waiting for, but she wasn't waiting for him.
Regardless of whether she had any feelings for the Helian divine ability or not, she definitely had some indescribable expectations towards her own child.
He took a deep breath and was about to walk out when he heard the official's voice calling from outside, "Your Highness, Crown Prince …"
Helian Yu quickly went out. He knew that he had stayed too long and had aroused the suspicion of the mausoleum official.
Seeing him come out unscathed, the mausoleum official was relieved. With a flattering smile, he led him out, and politely offered to entertain him with a meal.
Helian Yu raised his eyes to look at the sky. It was indeed late, so he agreed.
The mausoleum official did not expect the crown prince to be so appreciative. With a joyous expression, he brought him to the prepared banquet.
During the banquet, Helian Yu casually asked about the matters within the mausoleum, and then casually asked the oldest mausoleum watcher how many years he had guarded here.
The mausoleum official thought that he was just casually gossiping and said, "Maybe it's Granny Ge. She's a palace maid of the late emperor's consort. She's been here for fifty years … Alas, she was only around twenty years old when she came here.
Grandma Ge, who had originally delivered food to Jingnan, was from ancient times. If not for Helian Yu's unintentional entrance, Jingnan would have starved to death in her grave sooner or later.
He thought for a moment, then said while looking at the official, "There is a legend. I wonder if you've heard of it."
"Legend?" There were many legends in the Royal Tomb, but most of them were nonsense. The duty of a mausoleum official was the same as that of a tomb guardian. He had long since become immune to these stories of ghosts and gods, so he did not care at all.
"Legend has it that when Imperial Concubine Yu was buried, there was a white snake that was buried with her. If it had been guarding her for many years, then it would appear as calm as ever. Just now, when I went to offer sacrifices to my imperial concubine, I discovered a strange phenomenon.
"What …" What white snake? " The mausoleum official's face was filled with confusion. It was obvious that he was baffled. In all his years as a mausoleum official, he had never heard of such a strange thing.
"What kind of strange phenomenon is happening in the sky?"
Helian Yu's face sank. "This is heaven's will."
"Oh …" He understood, and wiped his sweat with his hand, "And then? "What should I do?"
"Of course it's a timely tribute, it's not to be lacking every day." Helian Yu had a look of disdain on his face. He told the old palace maid to deliver food to him, and instructed him to send some convenient food into the air vents every day.
The mausoleum official nodded as he received the order, feeling unsettled in his heart. Even after so many years, the white snake guarding the coffin hadn't made any unusual movements. Why did the Crown Prince have such a strange phenomenon the moment he arrived? Could it be that he didn't have to eat it before, but he had to eat it every day now?
Helian Yu saw through his suspicion and said unhappily, "I came to pay my respects to you today after witnessing the strange phenomenon of the night sky before the emperor's tomb. The white snake guarding the coffin woke up once every twenty years, and went back to sleep every single time. It has been just over twenty years now, and it has not received any food for a long time, so it is already very angry. "
The mausoleum official hurriedly nodded in agreement, praising the crown prince for his great fortune, which was why he had been instructed by the heavens. However, he thought to himself that it was just a gift of food, not a big matter.
"If I don't want you to stop worshiping me, you have to deliver it on time every day. Remember, you have to eat fresh food, fruits, and water."
"Yes, yes." The mausoleum official was even more puzzled. This white snake even ate melon fruits. Its appetite was extraordinary.
This is no ordinary snake. This is a coffin white snake, it's close to a demon, it's impossible to use normal theories. "Don't try to get a glimpse of your true appearance, and even more so don't casually divulge this secret. Otherwise, be careful …" "Helian Yu made a snake swimming motion as he landed on the official's neck, letting out a cold smile.
The mausoleum official was frightened by him and suddenly felt his entire body go cold. A wave of murderous intent rushed towards him.
After scaring the mausoleum official, Helian Yu left the imperial mausoleum. Once he returned to the palace, he immediately summoned a spy to investigate everything about the Imperial Consort Zuo before heading to the silent hut where the fire had nearly burnt everything.
Over the years, the Silent Hut had been rebuilt. It was said that it had been built entirely according to the previous structure, and even the people used in it were the same as in the past.
No one understood this.
Helian Yuan Chen had once sent people all over to search for the whereabouts of the Helian Divine Technique, but in the name of finding it, he had never given the order to arrest it. It could be seen that he still held high hopes for the Helian Divine Technique, and did not think that the escape that year was a betrayal.
Helian Yu walked around the quiet hut inside and out, and he also found the little Daoist boy who once served Helian Divine Technique. Naturally, those two Daoist children also entered their middle years after twenty years. He asked these two about the Helian Divine Art's past, including the people who often came and went, but there was no Jing Nan among them.
Naturally, if their relationship was discovered in the palace, it would be a taboo. However, with the status of the Helian divine ability, if a palace maid wanted to serve the Emperor, it was actually an easy task. Why would they willingly take the risk of engaging in private dealings with the Emperor?
Those two Daoist children also said that Helian Divine Art was actually a Daoist cultivator. A true disciple of a Daoist family was the same as a monk. They had to use the ring because Ru Su could not marry, so they naturally could not touch the wine.
It was no wonder that even though the Helian Divine Technique was not small, he had no other wives and concubines. Helian Yu did not expect that Helian divine ability was a Daoist before it was bestowed the title of Imperial Scholar.
When Helian Divine Art left the palace, Helian Yu was only four or five years old, so the impression he had of him was actually very faint. Helian Yu was only four or five years old when Helian Divine Art left the palace, and the impression he had of Helian Yu was actually very faint.
According to the two Taoists, not only did the Helian divine ability violate the Taoism's rules, it was also close to a woman. It even had children, and in the end, it even became a wine seller?
