Chapter 168 Prince Duan succeeds



Chapter 168 Prince Duan succeeds

She could understand it clearly from the memories of Concubine Rui Shen Rui.

The only two things on Emperor Lin's mind were his life and his death.

During his lifetime, he recovered the three states of Yuebei, and his achievements will be recorded in history books.

After his death, the underground palace of the emperor's mausoleum should be extravagant, and all the treasures collected during his lifetime should be buried together. Of course, the most important thing is the coffin and the jade burial suit.

The golden jade burial suit is not a problem, but the golden nanmu tree, which only takes eight hundred years to obtain, is really hard to find.

Now, the war situation is unclear, but the imperial mausoleum is almost completed.

While I was lost in thought, I heard the sound of gongs and drums in the distance.

After a while, a huge team came from the west.

Zhou Chang couldn't help but lift the car curtain and look out.

Gongs are sounded to clear the way, and armor is used as guards.

Prince Duan was wearing a robe with a silver dragon pattern and riding a tall horse, walking in front.

Behind him was a team carrying a coffin. Twelve people were divided into two rows, carrying a coffin covered with red silk.

The two coffins were almost identical, and were completely wrapped in red silk. Red flowers were hung on the front and back of the coffins, and only the front, back and bottom were exposed, and the shining color of the gold threads could be barely seen. As for whether it was made of a single piece of wood, it was impossible to tell.

A huge team came, banging and hammering, with a huge scene, but very little to watch.

He took a quick look at it and it passed by Zhou Chang's eyes.

The crowd was so crowded that they could not see anything. As the coffin passed by, they all dispersed.

Zhou Chang was already uninterested, and thinking of the twelfth prince Feng Suo, he urged the skinny monkey: "Monkey, we will just follow behind and enter the palace as usual."

"Yes." The skinny monkey urged the carriage and followed into the palace.

As soon as Zhou Chang entered the palace, he planned to go straight to Yunqin Palace, the palace of Concubine Qin. However, when he was halfway there, he heard the discussions in the palace and decided to go to Jingming Palace to take a look first.

Now everyone knows that Prince Duan successfully found a golden nanmu coffin that is more than 800 years old. It is rare to see it in a thousand years. Who wouldn't want to see it?

According to the order of Emperor Lin, the golden nanmu coffin was temporarily placed in the Jingming Hall.

Even though it was still daytime, the lights in the hall were already on.

Most of the red silk covering on the coffin had been removed, and it was sparkling in the light of the fire.

Zhou Chang arrived late after all, so he first grabbed a passing eunuch and asked, "Did you just hear where Prince Duan got this coffin from?"

The eunuch shook his head: "His Royal Highness Prince Duan didn't seem to say anything, he just mentioned that he bought it at a high price."

Zhou Chang felt a little resentful in her heart. In order to divert Prince Duan's attention that day, she had taken the initiative to remind Prince Duan to look for the golden nanmu.

She had planned to find Prince Duan at that time, and she would definitely not be able to find him.

Unexpectedly, Prince Duan was not stupid. He knew that it would be fruitless to search in the north, so he simply used silver to buy it.

As long as you are willing to spend money, is there anything you can’t buy?

Zhou Chang felt uncomfortable, and from time to time he heard voices of praise:

"It's really a complete piece of wood without even a crack."

"Your Highness Prince Duan has made His Majesty very happy. This piece of golden nanmu wood only comes once in a thousand years."

"Yes, I heard that His Majesty was so happy that he couldn't speak."

"It seems that your Majesty was really wise to let Prince Duan take charge of the construction of the imperial mausoleum."

……

Zhou Chang also looked around twice, but unfortunately, experts only looked at the details while laymen only watched the fun. She didn't understand anything and her eyes were full of stars.

However, there is no scent of nanmu on this golden nanmu coffin, only the smell of golden lacquered wood oil.

"How much silver is this worth?" Someone sighed.

"Hmph, silver? One ounce of golden nanmu wood is worth ten ounces of gold. Moreover, this wood is over five hundred years old, and it is whole. It is estimated to be worth a hundred times more."

"A hundred times, then this, this..."

"What twelve people just carried in must have weighed 1,800 kilograms. Not counting the labor and the cost of carving, if we calculate it based on 1,000 kilograms, that would be one million taels of gold."

"Oh, don't forget, that's one pair, but here are two pairs."

"Yeah yeah……"

My goodness, Zhou Chang listened with only one thought in his mind: how much silver did Prince Duan spend to get it, and how much did he get out of it?

"Ding, the customer has placed an order for a fist-sized piece of golden nanmu."

"Ding, the customer has placed an order for a fist-sized piece of golden nanmu."

"Ding, the customer has placed an order for a fist-sized piece of golden nanmu."

……

These dimensional clients are really... hard to describe.

Why did you take off a piece of someone else's coffin?

Haha..., no matter how good it is, it's still a coffin. Can lying in it make the dead person more comfortable?

No matter how good the golden nanmu is, what will you do with it if you cut it into small pieces?

But he was unwilling to give up. The customer is God, so he asked quietly: "Monkey, do you have a knife?"

The skinny monkey was startled: "What is your Highness going to do? Who dares to bring weapons into the palace?"

"Tell me, can we use a knife to pry a piece off this coffin?" Zhou Chang's eyes flashed with ferocity.

The skinny monkey grabbed Zhou Chang's eye and threatened him regardless of his status: "Your Highness, are you crazy? Not to mention that there is no knife, even if there is, it cannot be used. This is what His Majesty will use after the Dragon Riding Guest. Even if it is just a mark with the knife, there is no need to wait for Prince Duan to go on and on with us. Even His Majesty will never forgive you."

Zhou Chang knew the answer before he spoke, but it only made her heart "die" more thoroughly. He curled his lips and smiled: "Forget it, I was just kidding."

"Your Highness, don't joke like that," the thin monkey wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought about his stomach. "By the way, Your Highness, you said that we should come to the palace to visit His Majesty the Twelfth Prince, but it's not good to come empty-handed. Is it the same even if we go to the imperial kitchen to get a few plates of snacks?"

"Yeah." Once reminded, Zhou Chang also realized that she would never return empty-handed during these visits to the palace.

According to this principle, a trip to the imperial kitchen is necessary.

The palaces nearby all had owners, and it was not right to break in and move things. The imperial kitchen was a "public" place after all, so it was convenient for "taking advantage of the situation".

So the two of them went to the imperial kitchen again, brought out a few plates of snacks, and then turned around to go to Yunqin Palace.

Along the way, he couldn't help but hear many discussions in the inner palace, saying that Prince Duan had followed Emperor Lin to the harem, and that a banquet would be held in Concubine Yi's Jianing Palace tonight, and that there would be generous rewards.

Unexpectedly, Prince Duan really did what she said, but Zhou Chang couldn't really feel happy for him now.

After entering the Yunqin Palace, Concubine Qin came out to greet them personally.

Zhou Chang stated his purpose and went straight into Feng Suo's bedroom.

Feng Suo was originally lying on the bed. When he heard that Prince Yi had arrived, he threw off the quilt and ran down barefoot. He did not look like he was sick.

Zhou Chang directly handed the snacks to the palace maid, and did not mention whether he was visiting the patient or not. He just said that he was here to play with Feng Shuo.

Concubine Qin was tactful and sent the maids and eunuchs out with her. "Give yourself some time, don't be anxious, take it one step at a time, one day at a time, please believe that life is resilient, cooperate with your upward heart, and don't give up on loving yourself."
