Three days later at night, a shadow guard found Yang Chen, saying that the old rat had something to look for him, and that it was best for him to take two to three days.
The old rat's attention attracted a lot of interest from Yang Chen.
The next morning, Yang Chen took Lan 'er to the Lou family and arranged for Lan' er. After telling Lou Xiao'e that he needed to go out for three days, Yang Chen left.
Over at the rolling mill, Yang Chen asked Silly Zhu to take leave on his behalf.
At noon that day, Yang Chen carried the military backpack and found the old rat.
"Hmm? Why was there an extra grave here? Old Rat, isn't that person your enemy?”
"It's true that he's an enemy, but he's still my senior brother, so we're separate matters.”
"Old Rat, this place is already far enough. Don't tell me you're bringing me deeper. Enter?"
" The mountain is not high, it is famous with immortals; the water is not deep, it is spiritual with dragons…The road is not long, there are treasures in the mountains.”
The more the old rat said this, the more interested Yang Chen became.
Soon, the two of them and the two bio-humans left in the same direction.
On the way, Yang Chen found that the old child had changed. In the past, he looked sloppy, but now he had a bit more spirit.
If it wasn't for the fact that the old rat's appearance was still difficult to see, otherwise, Yang Chen might have mistakenly thought that the old rat had changed his soul.
Thinking about it, it made sense. With his revenge, the worries in Old Rat's heart naturally dissipated.
They arrived at their destination before nightfall.
"This place?"
"Don't think too much, kid. You've never been here before, let alone heard of it.”At this point, Old Rat pointed at the ruins not far away and said,""During the Yongzheng period, there was an ancient temple there. A concubine from the Kangxi period lived in the temple, which was the imperial concubine of the Yongzheng period.”
"Old Rat, do you mean that the so-called Consort Dowager was buried here after her death, so you specially brought me here to be a grave robber?”
Hearing Yang Chen's words, the old rat was so angry that his beard shook up and down. It kept moving.
"I say, Yang Chen, you brat, you can't really be a tomb robber, right?”
"Never done it before. I thought you were an expert.”
"D * mn, am I that unbearable in your eyes? Let me tell you, during the Kangxi period, my ancestor was not only a branch of the Shilei family, but also worked in the Internal Affairs Bureau…"
"Fine, fine. That's your ancestor, not you. Get to the point.”
The old rat did not reply, but instead continued to move forward with Yang Chen and the others.
Two hours later, the group arrived at a ruin with their flashlights.
The ruins were located at the foot of the mountain, and one could vaguely see the scale of the ruins from the outline.
"I think this place should have been very prosperous back then…"
"Kid, you've hit the nail on the head. Back then, after Kangxi's death, Yongzheng succeeded to the throne. The concubines in the harem either moved to the side hall to live or went to the imperial mausoleum to mourn for Kangxi. Only this imperial concubine was the smartest and actually took the initiative to ask Yongzheng to become a monk... In order to treat this imperial concubine politely, Yongzheng ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to allocate money and specially assigned people to build a royal courtyard here. Let's go, I'll bring you to see the imposing manner of the Imperial Family Courtyard back then…"
After walking along the ruins for nearly 20 minutes, the group came to a mountain wall.
Old Rat took out a special key and inserted it. After entering the mechanism, a rumbling sound spread out, and the giant stone door that looked like a broken dragon stone slowly rose.
"This isn't a mausoleum, is it?" Yang Chen subconsciously thought.
"It's not a mausoleum. Because this place is blessed with natural endowments, it was built according to local conditions. The Royal Family Courtyard outside was just a cover. The inside was a completely different world.”
At this point, the old rat seemed to have thought of something and felt a little sad.
In silence, Old Rat muttered to himself,""Since ancient times, the craftsmen of every dynasty have no status. Moreover, once they work for the royal family, even if they are exhausted in the end, they will probably not end up well.”
Old Rat was right. Looking back at history, how many of the craftsmen who built the emperor's mausoleum ended up well?
Presumably, Old Rat's ancestors had encountered similar things.
As he walked into the cave, the giant stone door closed on its own. Under his feet was a winding stone path, after walking for about five minutes, Yang Chen only felt the starlight and moonlight shining on the spacious cave hall.
The cave was about 800 square meters, and in the middle stood a palace. It was built against the mountain. Although it was not large and its grandeur could not compare to the Forbidden City, it had a different style.
"Old rat, isn't that Emperor Yongzheng treating that Imperial Consort too well?”
"It's indeed too good, so?"
"So he's hiding a mistress in a golden house?”
"It should be true. It's just that their identities are destined that they can't be together openly. Later, after the imperial concubine died of illness, Yongzheng first sealed the palace in the cave and finally blew up the royal courtyard outside.”
The palace buildings in the cave were perfectly preserved. The decorations, decorations, and all kinds of porcelain and jade articles were also perfectly preserved.
It could be said that in 30 years, the old rat would not have to worry about anything in his life if he could take out one or two of the antique paintings in this cave.
Of course, the old rat had to have the life to live until then.
