Chapter 49 The Princess Takes the Blame and is Granted Death (49)

"Although the Princess of Lu was sentenced to death, she was not deposed. Even if she can't be buried with the Prince of Lu in the main tomb, there should be a place for her in the side tomb. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to just dig a hole and bury her now?"

“You really don’t understand what’s going on.

Just days after the death of the Princess of Lu, the Prince of Lu suddenly suffered such a catastrophic accident and passed away. How could the higher-ups not be furious? Look again, is there a single sentence in the decrees passed down from above about what to do with the Princess of Lu's coffin? No, not even a single mention!

It’s as if they’ve forgotten the existence of this coffin.”

"But, according to the rules..."

"Tsk, you're such a fool, how did you manage to survive until now? You really need me to break it down to pieces for you. Isn't the decree clear enough?
Concubines were buried alive in side tombs.

The concubine Meng was buried alive in the main tomb.

The rest of the maids in the palace were all buried in the royal tomb.

Where else could the coffin of the former Princess Lu be placed? The side chambers were for concubines and wives. Was she one of them? No! The main chamber was for Consort Meng. Was she one of them? No, she wasn't either! I was talking about Consort Meng, her younger sister, the one who hadn't married yet.

It would be risky of me to put her among the burial objects. At least she should be buried in peace. Otherwise, if we strictly follow the decree, her coffin should still be placed in the Prince of Lu's Palace.

The King of Lu had no descendants, and there was no one to inherit the throne.

Who knows if anyone will still remember her? If someone does, that's fine. But if no one does, it will be hard for her to even rest in peace. Isn't what I'm doing a good deed?"

"Yes, if the King of Lu had not died without an heir, how could we dare to covet so much money for the tomb? After all, he has no descendants to offer sacrifices to him in the future. As long as the tomb inside doesn't collapse, it doesn't matter if there are some missing things. No one will care."

"Hasn't Mrs. Meng married yet?"

"So what if you didn't marry me?

Since the current emperor personally issued the decree to grant her marriage, she would naturally be Prince Lu's person in life and Prince Lu's ghost in death. Now that Prince Lu has passed away, of course she has to follow him.

It should be being sent here now.

Once the royal mausoleum is completely renovated, we can send Consort Meng and most of the people in the Prince of Lu's palace to be buried with him, and then seal the mausoleum and complete it."

"I…we should be fine."

"I'm sure I'll be fine. Before I came here, I had already requested to stay and guard the mausoleum for His Royal Highness Prince Lu. A royal mausoleum must have some guards, especially one like Prince Lu who has no descendants and no offspring to offer sacrifices. It's even more necessary to have guards. They can burn incense and offer some offerings."

"You're so unkind. Can we also strive to become a tomb keeper? Do you have any channels?"

"That's fine, but I have to deal with all the trouble..."

"Understood. We'll take less money from the mausoleum construction!"

……

Hearing this, how could Ding Shui not be annoyed? Emperor Tianwu, that bastard, isn't his attitude clear enough from his actions? He undoubtedly cherishes human life, and at the same time, all the dead have at least one life on their hands.

I didn't expect that he would insist on being buried alive.

She almost wanted to bury the entire Lu Palace with the dead, including her unmarried sister.

Even if it wasn't for her own sister, for the people in Prince Lu's Mansion, and even for the lives of those tomb builders who are currently building the tomb, there is a high probability that they will be buried in the tomb along with the tomb in the future.

Ding Shui couldn't just sit back and watch this happen.

In anger, Ding Shui was too lazy to think too much for a moment and chose to follow his heart and slowly collect the Mausoleum of King Lu. Because he collected it slowly instead of taking it away directly, the initial manifestation was just that the entire Mausoleum of King Lu began to shake. Even if the supervisors working inside were slow, they naturally suspected that it was an earthquake.

They immediately retreated in a panic. After everyone had evacuated, Ding Shui immediately increased his mental strength. In an instant, the entire Luwang Mausoleum disappeared before their eyes, and the hollowed-out hill collapsed instantly. It can be said that the Luwang Mausoleum was directly destroyed.

The tomb is gone, so it remains to be seen how he will be buried alive.

"This...what's going on? Why are there no problems around here? Could it be that we cut corners and something went wrong? We didn't use any really bad materials!"

One of the supervising eunuchs was so panicked that he didn't notice that the Mausoleum of King Lu had disappeared out of thin air. He only saw that the hill that was hollowed out for the construction of the Mausoleum of King Lu had collapsed. He was extremely panicked for a moment, thinking that they had embezzled too much, resulting in the use of poor quality materials for the Mausoleum of King Lu, making it a shoddy project.

If this thing is found out.

I guess it's at least a slow death...

I wonder if it’s too late to hang myself now?

Fortunately, there were other eunuchs supervising the scene who saw with their own eyes that the Lu Mausoleum disappeared out of thin air, and the hill collapsed after the Lu Mausoleum disappeared:

"Don't panic, don't panic, this has nothing to do with us. Don't talk nonsense. I just saw it with my own eyes. The entire royal tomb disappeared in an instant. Then the hill collapsed. Quick, dig down quickly and see if there are only rubble or the ruins of the royal tomb!"

The eunuch who was speaking was actually a little panicked.

I even worried that I might have seen it wrong.

Although no matter which situation it is, one feels a little worried, but the inexplicable disappearance of the royal tomb is definitely worse than them embezzling the money for the construction of the tomb and using inferior materials.

This eventually led to the collapse of the Mausoleum of King Lu.

"I saw it too. I saw it disappear suddenly. By the way, when we were investigating, didn't the people in Prince Lu's Mansion say that the bones buried under the garden of Prince Lu's Mansion also disappeared suddenly?

Isn't that lady always watching?"

They were originally eunuchs in the capital, and naturally heard Ding Shui's full announcement some time ago, but they did not dare to directly call Ding Shui a monster like Emperor Tianwu did. Privately, they all called her "Empress". No matter whether the other party was a real god or a real monster, it was always right to respect her.

"We didn't say anything disrespectful, did we?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Everything we do is in accordance with the orders from above. We really can't refuse. If there is anything wrong, please point it out and we will definitely correct it."

"Don't panic, don't panic. It should be fine. If he really disliked us, or if we did something disrespectful, we would have died long ago. It should still be related to King Lu. Could it be because of the burial sacrifice?"

"It's possible. Didn't Prince Lu die because he killed so many people? This lady, oh no, in the eyes of the immortals and gods, we should all be equal, right? Doesn't Buddhism say that all beings are equal? So perhaps they can't stand Your Majesty's decision to bury so many people alive with him?"

While several supervising eunuchs were discussing in a panic, Ding Shui had already left in great anger. She was not going to let it go. She planned to seize all the remaining royal tombs where people were buried alive and go to the capital to cause a big commotion.

At the same time, she had secretly decided in her heart that this was the last time, and she would speak directly and clearly.

If Emperor Tianwu doesn't change.

Killing him directly would have a big impact, but you can take over his body and become emperor for a few years, rule the country for a few years and then die, or you can take over his body, abdicate directly, let the prince succeed him, and then find time to send his soul to the imperial prison for torture.

So in the next few days, Ding Shui quickly took away the seven royal tombs of the dynasty, which were already few in number. He mainly took away the royal tombs and the coffins of the princes inside the tombs.

The remaining corpse and coffin were cleaned up by Ding Shui.

Continue to bury it in the original pit.

The bones previously stored under the Mausoleum of Prince Lu are still in the same place and were not taken away with the Mausoleum of Prince Lu.
