They kept digging for a long time. Under the arrangement and command of Baby Ling Yue, the black bear and the iron-eating beast took turns digging deeper and deeper.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, there was a roar.
The guards who were digging with the iron-eating beasts all exclaimed: "There is really something, there is something!"
"What?" Everyone craned their necks to look over.
"Don't move!" After baby Ling Yue finished speaking, he quickly shouted: "Tie Tie come up, you guys come up!"
Although everyone was a little confused, they still followed the rocky steps that had been prepared before.
"Puff, puff!" Streams of air emerged from below.
"Cover your nose!" Rong Wenjing immediately shouted: "This is mercury."
"Yes!" Baby Ling Yue glanced at her mother, then nodded.
Baby Ling Yue stretched out her little hand, which held a bottle. She poured the elixir from the bottle into her palm.
Ci En, Jun Qingcang and others took it and threw it into their mouths without hesitation.
Yu Qilin was even more curious. He looked at the adults and then into the little girl's palm: "Are you teasing children?"
"Eat quickly!" Baby Ling Yue said.
Yu Qilin really liked it even more when she saw the ferocious look on her face.
Before, when he came back from the capital, he really hated the children when he saw them. He thought that the empress had fallen in love with someone else. He couldn't accept it, so he didn't even like all the children in the world.
But, except this little girl.
Ci En also tore off a piece of fabric from her robe, folded it in half, and covered her face.
Zhai Xiangling also took off the long silk ribbon from her waist, then tore it open and handed it to Rong Wenjing, Jun Qingcang and Yu Qilin.
"Cover your faces." Zhai Xiangling ordered the guards coming up below: "This water is poisonous!"
"Huh?" Baby Ling Yue looked at Zhai Xiangling: the empress knows about this stuff.
Receiving baby Ling Yue's eyes, Zhai Xiangling said with a smile: "After each of our emperors ascends the throne, he must take a very small amount of cinnabar ore powder every day to achieve the effect of refreshing and rejuvenating, and under our bed, on the bed pillars , and also cinnabar.”
Baby Ling Yue pursed her lips.
[There is no sign of poisoning on the body of the empress aunt at all. If you take too much cinnabar, you will definitely have purple lips. But she has nothing, which proves that she is not poisoned at all! 】
Baby Ling Yue's voice was actually heard by everyone present except Yu Qilin and the guards.
Jun Qingcang frowned deeply, Rong Wenjing glanced at the emperor and closed her mouth.
"Why did the royal family do this?" Yu Qilin knew about Cinnabar, but he had never heard of the fact that being an emperor had to take poison every day, which annoyed him.
If he had known earlier, he would have definitely found a way to seize the throne or prevent Zhai Xiangling from continuing to be the empress.
I have been taking this medicine for twenty years, and I am afraid that the poison has penetrated into my bone marrow long ago, and there is no way to save my life.
"Afraid of dictatorship and hereditary inheritance." Zhai Xiangling said.
"But, just like Jun Yin now, isn't he hereditary?" Yu Qilin said.
"That's different. Leave the mother and leave the son." Ci En said.
"With so much mercury, why did the Lotus Sect bury it?" Jun Qingcang and Ci En were both thinking about this question.
The mercury needs glass bottles, and the empress has already sent someone to find the glass bottles.
Fortunately, the people of the Lotus Sect probably also thought that they needed glass bottles to hold mercury, so they killed everyone and destroyed all the houses, but they did not give away the glass bottles in a broken house at the foot of the mountain not far away. destroyed.
Baby Ling Yue passed by there just now and was thinking about this problem.
[Such a fragile glass bottle is actually very good. Is it used to hold something? 】
[There is no water source or other liquid in this mountain. If it can be packed in a glass bottle, it must be something special. 】
Therefore, baby Ling Yue was thinking like this all the way to the ancestral hall.
Good guy, she really dug up the mercury.
"Cinnabar, after being ground and precipitated, can produce mercury. If mercury is added to rouge made from flowers, it can keep people young forever. However, the disadvantage is that over time, people who use mercury will have skin ulcers and internal organs. It turned black and eventually he was poisoned and died!" Rong Wenjing said.
"So, Emperor Dongling will take cinnabar. Finally, in order to prevent this secret from being exposed, the emperor will die at the age of thirty-three. No matter how he dies, he must die." Yu Qilin said.
"Yes!" Rong Wenjing nodded.
"What if she wasn't poisoned? For example, on the day when the empress turned thirty-three, someone would kill her?" Yu Qilin asked again.
"Yes." Ci En nodded: "There should be someone in the palace who specializes in this matter, hereditary system!"
"Oh, being a guard is hereditary. Is there such a thing as hereditary killing of the emperor?" Yu Qilin lifted up his robe and sat on a stone on the side. He looked at the empress and said: "Empress, what do you mean? To be honest, have you ever eaten cinnabar? Have you ever used jade paste?"
"Do you think I need jade cream with such good skin?" Zhai Xiangling rolled her eyes at the man disdainfully.
"So, you won't be poisoned, you can only be killed?" Yu Qilin asked.
Ci En glanced at Yu Qilin and said nothing more.
They haven't told the Empress yet about the broken dragon vein.
Of course, baby Ling Yue also had a secret. When the dragon vein was broken, they didn't tell Yu Qilin that he was needed to fill it.
This is a very difficult problem. If it needs to be filled, Yu Qilin must be sacrificed. This kind of thing is something she cannot do as a baby!
"Then it depends on that person's ability." The empress said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, the mercury is full." Below, the guard raised his head and shouted.
"Okay, bring it up and be careful!" Zhai Xiangling said.
"It's not safe for us to carry these things along the way!" Jun Qingcang looked at the several large jars of mercury and said, "Yue'er, where can I put it?"
Yu Qilin looked at Jun Qingcang. He knew how powerful this baby was, but he didn't expect that even the mighty and domineering Emperor Daliang would have to ask this girl when something happened. He was confused about this matter.
"Bury it!" Baby Ling Yue said.
"Uh... dig it up and bury it again." The guards twitched their mouths.
"Yue'er is right." Zhai Xiangling nodded and agreed: "Bury it, find a place, bury it properly, and bury it deeply."
"Yeah!" Baby Ling Yue nodded.
In this way, be it the Lotus Sect or the jade-faced fox, don't even think about finding it again, they can't harm anyone with this thing.
Dahei and the others came in handy again. Of course, they were also very willing to listen to their little master.
Because if they do well, the little master will praise them.
"boom!"
A fire burned down the entire village.
"I don't know how many people in Panli County have used jade fat ointment. If they stop, I'm afraid something will happen!" Rong Wenjing said.
