Chapter 2216: Chapter 2216: The Vessel for Absorbing the Aura of Evil Spirits

Prince Niu was stunned by her question, but quickly recovered.

"Madam Sui, the woman depicted in this portrait is wearing the phoenix attire of the former empress, which was buried with her. Who else would dare to wear it?"

He pointed at the portrait drawn by Lin Caisang earlier and spoke to them.

Upon hearing those words, Lin Caisang raised her eyebrows slightly.

So, the woman they had killed was merely a pawn used by Emperor Ziyan, placed beneath the thatched hut in the underground palace to deceive others?

And they had merely killed one of Emperor Ziyan’s pawns?

"About that, Prince Niu, I believe we need to talk a bit more, come, please sit."

She gestured for Prince Niu to sit down again.

At that moment, Jiang Li came over with tea, placing it on the wooden table, serving Prince Niu and his former masters and mistresses.

"You drink the juice."

Sui Zimo took the teacup from next to his wife and handed it to her while glancing at Jiang Li.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li touched his nose and decisively went to fetch the juice.

"It’s just a sip; it’s fine," Lin Caisang was indifferent.

But since her husband had said so, naturally she wouldn’t reach for the cup of tea again; waiting for her juice was enough.

"Prince Niu, how do you know that the former empress was buried above the Phoenix Vein? Isn’t that a secret of the Ziyan royal family?"

She looked at Prince Niu and asked.

"Hmm."

Prince Niu responded with a hum.

Secrets are secrets, but those who wish to know still have ways to find out.

Like him, like Yin Lvqing.

However, it’s likely that Yin Lvqing wouldn’t care about who is placed above the Phoenix Vein, because he probably didn’t see any value in using such a thing, right?

Thinking of Yin Lvqing, he then thought of Yin Lvqing who was currently locked up in the prison.

Wondering what he was up to, would he be filled with regret for not paying attention to the Phoenix Vein, because had he done so, he definitely would have dealt with this demon spawn, right?

But now was not the time to think about Yin Lvqing.

"I have been down to that underground palace a few times and saw the former empress placed above the Phoenix Vein. As for the matter of Yin family’s ancestor, it is not a secret of the royal family; many people in the palace know about it, which is why I looked into it and came to know about those poisoned corpses," he explained.

"Huh? Wait a minute."

Just as Prince Niu was about to continue, Lin Caisang interrupted him.

"Are you saying that the former empress wasn’t laid to rest in a coffin?"

This question was asked by Sui Zimo.

"The Phoenix Vein has ice crystal jade, one only needs to place the body on top of it, there’s no need for a coffin for burial," Prince Niu said matter-of-factly.

Lin Caisang: "..."

Without a coffin, which is an artificial medium to absorb malevolent spirits, how would one channel the malevolent spirit into a body?

Through ice crystal jade?

She had heard of this ice crystal jade, but it did not have as powerful an effect!

"Although ice crystal jade can preserve a body, it is an object of warm yang. It seems that the ancestor of your Yin family placing the body on the ice crystal jade might not have been to resurrect the dead," she said with utmost certainty.

"What?!"

Hearing her words, Prince Niu was dumbfounded.

If it wasn’t for resurrection, then what could it be for?
