Passing through a dark tunnel, they came to a brightly lit underground palace. Rows of torches meandered along the stone walls, emitting a warm and dim light that formed a sharp contrast with the coldness inside the underground palace.

The gold and silver treasures piled up everywhere shone with an alluring luster under the light, with gold bars, silver coins, gems, pearls, and various utensils inlaid with rare gems scattered among them.

However, among this endless wealth, the most eye-catching thing is the center of the underground palace.

There, an ancient and solemn coffin lay quietly, with intricate and mysterious patterns carved on its surface. There was also an empty stone platform. Li Lianhua felt that there should be a coffin there as well.

On one side of the coffin stands a stone tablet with the words "My wife Crescent Moon" engraved on it.

"A friend of mine from the Purple Feather Society said she wanted to redeem herself at the Golden Song House, find a man to marry, take care of her husband and children, and she hoped her child would be the top scorer in the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official."

"It's a pity that such an ordinary wish has not been fulfilled. I don't think anyone would marry a dead person. Why not let her marry me in this life? It will be considered a long-cherished wish."

She said it lightly, but Li Lianhua felt a pang of sadness in her heart when she heard it.

He asked slowly, "How did she die?"

Qin Changsheng joined the Ziyu Club, and the first order he received was from Yueya. Then, in order to help her redeem herself, he kept taking various orders to make money.

But this lucrative order naturally requires a certain level to receive. She was not that strong at the time, and her assassination skills were top-notch. Moreover, she was more conscientious and would not kill people who had not committed crimes.

It will take time to save enough money to redeem yourself.

Who would have thought that half a year after they met, Jingefang was raided and the soldiers sealed up everything in the building. These women from the brothel were to be taken away to serve as military prostitutes.

"She got into an argument with soldiers trying to protect the Fuwa doll I bought her and was killed on the spot. The money I saved for her was sewn into the doll."

"I killed those people later. As for why I became the number one killer, it was simply because I wanted her to rest in peace beneath this huge palace. Her life was like a blade of grass, treated as worthless by them. I want this blade of grass to grow here forever."

She said this with a rare hesitation in her voice, "I wasn't lying when I told you I worked at Jingefang. Later, I worked as an Oiran for a while to complete missions. My name was Siyue."

After hearing this, Li Lianhua didn't know what to say. She was really a lot like him. If he were her, he would do the same, rather than killing the emperor and overthrowing the dynasty.

It’s better to let her sleep in peace. After all, the dynasty will be updated and it will never perish.

And her body was found underground in the palace. How could this not be a form of revenge, a revenge against this ridiculous royal family?

Li Lianhua: "So you have been staying in the palace all these years?"

Qin Changsheng nodded: "Yes, I live here too."

The two of them walked through the deep and magnificent corridor and went out. At the end of the corridor, the sunlight slowly fell outside the corridor.

Qin Changsheng said softly, "Tengri."

Li Lianhua: “?”

He turned to look at her, confused. She looked straight ahead and explained his confusion: "My real name is Changsheng. In the Central Plains dialect, it's Tengri, which means immortality."

Qin Changsheng looked back at him and reintroduced himself word by word: "Qin Changsheng is my real name. It was the name I filled in on the roster before joining the Purple Feather Society. I was ranked number one in the assassination. Nice to meet you."

"Li Xiangyi, the leader of the Sigu Sect, the best in the world, Li Xiangyi, is also very happy to meet you."

Although Li Lianhua was standing in the shadow, when her narrow and long phoenix eyes slightly curved, a smile with a glimmer of light seemed to overflow from her eyes.
