Chapter 2150: Chapter 2150: The Emperor’s Handwriting

"Just a royal tomb, after all. For ordinary people, the punishment could be severe, even to the extent of executing their entire clan. But for the powerful elites, or the nobles, if even they joked about the royal tomb at home, who would dare to do anything to them?"

Therefore, for her, there’s nothing wrong in discussing it.

"But why are you so interested in the royal tomb?" she asked.

Why had Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang suddenly taken an interest in the royal tomb? That place, apart from some treasures, wasn’t anything special, right?

"It’s because my mother found out that the Ziyan stone on me was originally kept in the royal tomb."

"What?!"

Princess Consort Niu was shocked.

She had never known about the Ziyan stone until Sui Zimo and others mentioned it.

But to think that it came from the royal tomb!

How could the treasure from the royal tomb end up in the hands of her son? It must have been deliberately taken out of the tomb and brought to her son by someone.

Who could be so malevolent!

"No, that’s not right."

Suddenly, she shook her head, her gaze sharp as she eyed her son.

"Princess Consort, what’s wrong? You look so pale."

Yin Baiqing regretted it now. He shouldn’t have agreed to his brother-in-law to come here and inquire about the royal tomb from his mother.

Did he frighten his mother?

But that’s not right, after all, his mother is Princess Consort Niu, the most influential person in Prince Niu’s Mansion next to his father.

How could she be scared just because the Ziyan stone was taken from the royal tomb?

Could there be something else involved?

"Princess Consort, don’t scare me, what’s wrong with you?"

"This is not right, Baiqing, listen carefully to what your mother is about to say."

Princess Consort Niu took a deep breath, unable to calm the unease in her heart, and grabbed Yin Baiqing’s arm firmly, speaking through clenched teeth.

"Mother, go ahead, I’m listening."

Yin Baiqing immediately nodded, his face more serious than ever.

...

"What did you just say?"

Lin Caisang was a bit stunned, her mouth slightly agape as she listened to what Yin Baiqing said upon returning from the Princess Consort’s courtyard.

"Many places within the royal tomb are off-limits to everyone except the Emperor? Even Prince Niu and Yin Lvqing can’t enter?"

What did that mean? It should be quite clear to everyone, right?

Does it mean that the Emperor had a part in placing the Ziyan stone close to Yin Baiqing?

"Doesn’t Ziyan Kingdom allow a selection of royals to enter the Western Underground Palace to hunt for treasures every once in a while? Wouldn’t they take the Ziyan stone out?"

"They probably wouldn’t."

Yin Baiqing shook his head.

"According to my mother, there was a guardian beast in the royal tomb, and this beast would only allow royals to enter the treasure area if it ate the Mind-Calming Fruit which only the Emperor had."

Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang turned her gaze to her husband.

What kind of beast? She had never heard her husband mention such a creature. Could it be because this beast was not formidable enough, and thus her husband didn’t bother mentioning it?

"We didn’t find the beast when we went there."

Sui Zimo, noticing his wife’s gaze, immediately responded.
