Yu Tingwan stood in front of a stone tablet and looked at it.

It seemed that she had never been here before. Even for worship, Yu Huaiyi would not allow her to come here.

No one knew what she was going to do, but looking at Yu Tingwan's current condition and the tools in their hands, they inexplicably had a bad feeling.

Soon, the premonition came true. Yu Tingwan suddenly knelt on the ground, looked at the stone tablet for a while, and the first sentence he said when he stood up was:

"Dig it up for me!"

Everyone opened their eyes wide, unable to believe what she said.

"Princess, what do you mean..."

Was he wrong? Could it be true? He wouldn't dare to do this!

An Si looked at Shen Chenli with a look as if for help, hoping that his prince could persuade his princess.

This matter is too outrageous. If it gets out, the princess will be scolded by everyone!

Shen Chenli didn't expect that he had forgotten the tools in their hands and just thought that she was going to visit her mother's grave.

He frowned and looked at Yu Tingwan: "Are you serious? This is not a joke!"

In this situation, they didn't dare to listen to her. Digging up their own mother's grave was unprecedented in history.

"I want to confirm something." Yu Tingwan turned and looked at him.

"Just do your job, I'll take care of anything that comes up!"

Shen Chenli shook his head. That was not what he meant.

"Do you know something? You have to give me a reason for doing this. What did Doctor Liu say to you last night?"

What made her suddenly behave like this? What was she doubting?

Looking at the person in front of him, Yu Tingwan did not hide anything and told him everything that Doctor Liu said last night and his own guesses.

"I don't want to drag it on any longer. Not many people knew about the situation back then, and I know what these people said. But I always feel something is wrong with this situation, so I plan to come here to take a look."

It makes sense that the emperor wanted to deal with the Jiang family and Yu Huaiyi wanted a higher official position. The current evidence is enough to tell everyone the truth about her mother's death.

However, Shen Chenli looked at Yu Tingwan. She should be hiding something, otherwise such a situation would not have led her to take the action of digging a grave!

Yu Tingwan no longer looked at him. No matter whether they helped her or stopped her, she had to do it. Her intuition told her that there must be a bigger secret hidden here!

"Secret Three, Secret Four, Wei Ming, help the princess!"

Several people looked at each other and stepped forward to receive orders.

However, they did not act rashly. Instead, they bowed to the stone tablet in front of them before taking action.

Yu Tingwan and Shen Chenli were standing and sitting, watching them from the side.

"what are you thinking?"

Yu Tingwan looked at the stone tablet in front of him for a long time and then said, "I just want things to move faster. The best way is for me to see my mother's condition."

She didn't completely believe either Nanny Qian's story or Doctor Liu's pulse diagnosis.

She only believes in herself and everything she sees!

The big men moved very quickly and soon the coffin lid was revealed.

It was a dark and windy night. The leaves in the woods rustled against the branches. In the distance, there were bursts of animal calls, and from time to time, an unknown bird flew overhead.

No one spoke. The only sounds in the silence were the shovelling of dirt and the occasional dull thud of the shovel hitting the coffin.

Bang, bang, bang.

"Third brother, Ming, do you feel it's chilly and eerie here?"

An Si glanced around. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but the surroundings seemed to become more eerie, and he felt as if someone was staring at him from behind.

An San glanced at him and said, "Hurry up and get to work."

Hiss! Why does he feel that his third brother is also lifeless?

An Si looked around again.

Apart from their own prince and princess, no one is watching them. Who is it?

A chill came over my back and I couldn't help but shrink my neck.

“I always feel like someone is watching me!”

When Wei Ming and An San heard this, they looked at each other, then kept silent and just buried their heads in digging the hole.

Fool!

Yu Tingwan also felt that gaze, and it drifted to the branch on the side without leaving a trace, without saying anything.

Someone on the tree branch froze in astonishment. Was he discovered... by the princess?

"Princess, it's done."

Wei Ming stepped forward to report.

Yu Tingwan stepped forward, glanced at the stone tablet that was close at hand, and leaned over to look behind it.

A dark red coffin lay quietly in the pit. Due to the passage of time, the red paint on the outside of the coffin had been partially corroded.

Yu Tingwan took a quick glance and stood aside, his eyes becoming more determined as he ordered, "Open the coffin!"

The men looked at each other, then An San and Wei Ming jumped into the pit, reached out to pull out the nails around, and pushed hard.

The coffin made a dull creaking sound, not crisp. The damp moisture on the coffin corroded it, making it look like an old man on his last legs.

The coffin lid was opened, revealing what was inside. No one dared to look, and Shen Chenli was far away, so only Yu Tingwan saw what was inside at the first time.

Yu Tingwan stared at the inside of the coffin intently, his teeth grinding until they made a creaking sound, adding a touch of horror to the already creepy night!

An Si quietly raised his eyes and glanced at Yu Tingwan, and his inner fear increased.

What should I do? What happened to the princess? Is she possessed by a demon? What should I do? What should I do?

Just when he was panicking, Shen Chenli came closer pushing a sedan chair.

Looking at Yu Tingwan's appearance, he looked worried: "What's wrong?"

"Yu Huaiyi! He is indeed an old bastard!"

Everyone was shocked and looked up, wondering what had happened to make the princess scold him like that!

As a result, there was no terrifying skeleton, no imagined mummy, and no once stunningly beautiful woman in the coffin.

What was there was just a tattered-looking piece of clothing and a few inconspicuous burial objects!

"How is it possible?" Why is it a cenotaph? Where are the people?

Several people opened their eyes wide, unable to believe what they saw.

Why is this the case? Didn’t the Shangshu’s wife die more than a decade ago? But why is there no body in the coffin? Where did the body go?

Shen Chenli looked at Yu Tingwan and said, "I asked someone to check before, but they didn't find any such situation."

Yu Tingwan sneered, "What else can I do? I've been wondering why Yu Zhaza wouldn't let my mother go even after she died. It turns out... maybe my mother is not dead yet, maybe she's been hidden by him, or maybe there's something else going on!"

No wonder, no wonder he refused to let her mother return to the Jiang family. No wonder he pretended to be affectionate even though the person was dead, and even held on to the tablet. This was the truth he was hiding!

Everyone couldn't believe it. The princess's mother was not dead yet? Where could she be? Moreover, why did Yu Huaiyi do this? What was his purpose?
