Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

The woman's laughter stopped abruptly, and she stared at Chu Tian with burning eyes, as if judging the truthfulness of his words.

The tomb was dead silent, with only the breathing of the two people echoing in the air.

"You...what did you say?" The woman finally spoke, her voice trembling slightly. "Can you take me out?"

"That's right," Chu Tian met the woman's gaze and said firmly, "I can take you out and away from this dark place."

The woman grabbed Chu Tian's collar tightly, with such force that she almost tore his clothes into pieces.

There was a glimmer of hope in her eyes, but it was also mixed with deep fear and doubt.

“You…can you really do it?” the woman asked in a trembling voice, “Are you lying to me?”

"I keep my word," Chu Tian said in a deep voice, "as long as you tell me where you want to go, I will definitely take you out!"

After hearing Chu Tian's words, the woman felt like she had heard a huge joke.

She laughed so hard that she fell backwards and her body was shaking.

But as she laughed, she started crying again.

Tears are like pearls that have broken off the string and cannot be stopped.

"why are you crying?"

Chu Tian was somewhat confused by the woman's mood changes.

"I miss my parents..." The woman choked up and said intermittently, "I want to go home..."

"Where are your parents? I'll take you to find them."

Chu Tian followed the woman's words and tried to calm her down.

"Dead! All killed by that beast!"

The woman suddenly became excited, raised her head sharply, and her eyes were burning with anger.

Chu Tian was startled by her sudden anger, but he still asked patiently: "Who? Who killed your parents?"

The woman took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and said slowly: "My name is Ningxiang, I am a lady from a famous family, and my father is the imperial tutor of the dynasty..."

Having said this, the woman seemed to be lost in her memories.

His eyes were blurry and his voice became softer.

"At that time, I was innocent and carefree, and I was the apple of my parents' eyes..."

She stroked her gorgeous sleeves, as if she could still feel the glory and wealth of the past.

"Until that year, the palace held a banquet, and I followed my father into the palace to attend the banquet..."

"Then what?" Chu Tian couldn't help but ask.

The woman smiled miserably, her eyes full of bitterness: "Then, he fell in love with me..."

"Him? Who is he?"

"Your Majesty!"

The woman uttered these words with gnashing teeth, as if she wanted to tear the man into pieces.

"Just because I fell in love with you, I killed your parents?"

Chu Tian couldn't believe it, this was too ridiculous!

The woman sneered, "Of course he won't do it himself."

"He just hinted to my father that if I could enter the palace to accompany the emperor, it would be a blessing for him and also an honor for my family..."

"Of course my father understood what he meant, but my mother couldn't bear to leave me and refused to agree. So..."

When the woman said this, her voice began to tremble again.

"So, he found a reason to demote my father and confiscate our family property. My mother...my mother was even angered to death!"

"Then how could you..."

Chu Tian looked at the woman in front of him, his heart full of doubts.

Since her parents were dead, how did she enter the palace and how did she get buried alive?

The woman smiled sadly, her eyes full of despair: "After my parents died, I was taken into the palace."

"But I hate that beast with a human face and a beastly heart. I curse him day and night to die a miserable death! So..."

"So, after he died, he sent you to this dark imperial mausoleum to make your life a living hell!"

Chu Tian spoke for her, feeling an inexplicable anger well up in his heart.

"That's right!" The woman grabbed Chu Tian's hand fiercely, her eyes full of pleading, "Please, take me out! I want to seek revenge on him! I want him to pay for his blood with blood!!!"

Chu Tian looked at the woman in front of him, his heart filled with sympathy and anger.

Sympathize with her experience and denounce the brutality of the tyrant.

but!

So many years have passed, she has become a ghost long ago.

Even if Chu Tian took her out with him, she would not be able to survive in this world.

……

Chu Tian looked at the woman's bloodshot eyes.

I know that her mind is now filled with the flames of revenge.

It was impossible to calm down and think.

He decided to calm her down first, so he tried to speak calmly, "Girl, don't get excited. I understand how you feel. I hate that tyrant too!"

"Don't worry, I promise you, I will take you out and avenge your parents!"

The woman seemed a little bit unbelievable. She stared at Chu Tian's eyes, as if she wanted to see through him: "Are you telling the truth?"

"It's absolutely true!" Chu Tian nodded, "But..."

He paused and pointed at the chains on his body. "I am trapped by these chains now. I can't move at all. You have to help me untie them first."

The woman was obviously stunned for a moment, and she looked down at the chains on Chu Tian.

He looked at Chu Tian again, as if thinking about something.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly sneered, "Boy, do you think I'm a fool? This imperial mausoleum is full of traps. How can you find the exit? Are you trying to trick me?"

Chu Tian's heart skipped a beat. This woman was quite vigilant!

He quickly explained: "Of course I know how powerful this imperial mausoleum is, but since I can get in, I naturally have a way to get out! Don't worry, I will never lie to you!"

The woman did not let down her guard because of Chu Tian's assurance.

She looked Chu Tian up and down, her eyes full of suspicion and scrutiny.

"If you dare to lie to me..." The woman suddenly approached Chu Tian and whispered in his ear, "I will drag you to be buried with me!"

The breath she exhaled as she spoke sprayed on Chu Tian's neck, making him feel an inexplicable chill.

then.

The woman turned and walked to the stone platform, and fumbled out a rusty key from somewhere.

With a "click", the chain opened.

Chu Tian stretched his stiff wrists and stood up.

The woman looked at him coldly and asked, "Tell me, how are you going to take me out?"

Chu Tian stretched his stiff muscles. The woman was quite ruthless and almost broke his wrist.

He pointed to two people lying nearby and said to the woman, "These are my friends. They came here with me. I have to take them with me."

The woman looked in the direction of Chu Tian's finger and saw two men lying on the ground in a mess.

"Friend?" The woman frowned slightly, as if she was unfamiliar with the word. "What is a friend?"

Chu Tian was stunned for a moment, thinking that the cultural differences between ancient and modern people are really huge. Even his friends don’t know what they are.

He explained: "Friends are... good friends, the kind with whom you have a particularly good relationship."

The woman seemed to understand something, nodded, and said faintly: "Friend... I also have a friend... She and I are like sisters. We used to drink and sing, recite poems and compose essays..."

She raised her head and looked into the deep tomb passage.

His eyes were blurry, as if he was lost in memories.

Then he began to recite poetry.
