Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 419 - 418: The Thing in the Coffin

Chapter 419: Chapter 418: The Thing in the Coffin

This cave had been searched before.

The useful items had basically all been taken away by Leng Ji.

What remained were things like incense burners.

Leng Ji felt that these items were not of research value, so he left them in place and never touched them.

After all, they were used to worship Long Qianyue, who had shown kindness to their Prince, and these items should be preserved as much as possible without damage.

In his actions, Leng Ji naturally always considered Yexuan.

That night, Yexuan entered the cave alone.

In his hand, he held the flashlight that Chu Qianli had once thrown at him.

With a gentle press of that so-called switch, it would light up, casting a beam bright enough for him to see everything in the cave clearly.

While the cave was very hidden, inside it was extremely simple.

A man-made stone bed and a place to worship Long Qianyue.

He walked to the edge of the stone bed and searched carefully again.

When he found Chu Qianli, she was unconscious on this bed.

At the time, he didn’t think too much of it and immediately carried her back for Liujin to treat.

But unexpectedly, after she woke up, it turned out her soul had been captured.

The stone bed appeared simple and didn’t have many peculiarities.

Yexuan looked over it once more, but still discovered nothing.

Just as he was about to give up, suddenly, a faint crack caught his eye.

He sharply turned around, returned to the side of the bed, and stared at the cracks on the stone bed and wall for a moment.

Suddenly, his hand lifted, and he brought down a palm.

With a booming sound, the stone bed sunk in, revealing the hidden door behind it.

Yexuan’s eyes darkened as he leapt up and dove through the small door.

Below, there was actually another huge cave!

It was clear someone had been inside.

The moment Yexuan’s palm wind hit the stone bed, that person had already detected it.

Therefore, when Yexuan jumped down, what he saw was the back of that person hurrying away.

Yu Fei!

Yexuan’s footing slipped as he quickly pursued.

This cave was connected to another exit, which was even more hidden, right at the edge of a cliff.

When Yexuan chased out, that person had already disappeared without a trace!

Such impressive qinggong!

It had to be Yu Fei, he was absolutely certain he had not mistaken it.

No wonder why Leng Ji and Qin Xiao had turned Imperial City upside down with their men and still failed to find her.

It turns out she had never left the cave, hiding here the entire time.

Yexuan didn’t chase further because, he discovered there were still secrets hidden in the cave.

He immediately turned back.

This cave must be where Yu Fei usually spent her time – there was actually a grave here!

This solitary grave had no name, no tombstone, nothing at all, just a mound of yellow earth.

Who could it be?

Whoever could be buried here with such care by Yu Fei was certainly no ordinary person.

Could it be Long Qianyue?

Considering the portrait outside, the likelihood that this grave belonged to Long Qianyue was quite high.

Was Lili’s mother buried right here?

If he were to leave now, would Yu Fei immediately return and dig up the remains from the grave?

For the first time, Yexuan felt conflicted.

He wanted to bring Chu Qianli here so she could take her mother’s ashes back herself.

But just as he had considered earlier, if he left and Yu Fei returned to take away the ashes, how would he explain it to Lili?

Yexuan used to handle matters swiftly and decisively.

After a moment’s contemplation, he knelt down, and kowtowed to the solitary grave.

"I believe you are the Dragon Lady! Senior, my apologies for today’s offense, but it is solely to take you back, to return you to Ali, please forgive me."

It was rumored that Long Qianyue once fell to her death off a cliff, and now, they had finally found her remains.

She must not fall into the hands of Concubine Yu again.

Regardless of what relationship Concubine Yu had with Long Qianyue, these remains could only belong to Lili!

After bowing three times, Feng Yexuan rolled up his sleeves, not daring to use his True Qi, fearing it would be disrespectful to Long Qianyue.

It was with his own hands that he slowly unearthed the lonely grave, bit by bit.

He did not know how long he had been digging, but finally, he reached a coffin.

"Dragon Lady, I am taking you back to see your daughter."

With little effort, Feng Yexuan lifted the coffin, placing it on the ground not far away.

He intended to carry the coffin away directly, but unexpectedly, due to its ancient origins, the very moment it landed, it cracked open.

"Sorry!" Feng Yexuan muttered softly, walking over intending to close the coffin lid.

But just as he was about to close it, his movement suddenly stopped.

Inside, there was no corpse!

There was only a box!

Feng Yexuan took out the box, slightly exerted his power, and instantly pinched open the small lock on the box.

Inside was a token, and another, even smaller box.

He picked up the token.

The token was also ancient, coated with a layer of dull patina, but the inscription on it was still clear.

Long.

It resembled the token of the Imperial Family of Longteng Country.

Having survived on the battlefield for so many years, this token was very similar to the Imperial Family tokens of Longteng Country he had seen before.

If it was the token of a prominent Imperial Family member, then one side would bear the surname and the other side, the given name.

Upon flipping it over, Feng Yexuan felt a sudden tension in his heart.

Xiyue!

Long Xiyue!

The tombstone worshipped by Concubine Yu contained no corpse, just an item representing identity.

The token of Long Xiyue.

The person she worshipped was Long Xiyue!

Then, the portrait that was found outside... were Long Qianyue and Long Xiyue, the same person?

Feng Yexuan opened the smaller box as well.

At first glance at the item inside the box, even a composed man like him couldn’t help but change his expression!

The Jade Seal of Longteng Country!

He never expected that the Jade Seal of Longteng Country would be hidden by Concubine Yu, concealed for over a decade!

So, did Long Xiyue truly die, with both the token and the Jade Seal ending up in Concubine Yu’s hands?

Back then, what was the relationship between Concubine Yu and Long Xiyue?

Did Long Xiyue die from falling off a cliff on her own, or was she murdered?

Was Concubine Yu the one who harmed her?

There were too many questions, and Feng Yexuan could not find the answers all at once.

He pocketed the token into his clothes.

As for the Jade Seal, the box was too large to hide, so he had to carry it in his hands.

But he didn’t expect that just as he emerged from the underground cave, he saw a shadowy figure burst through the entrance of the cave from outside.

The person in black also hadn’t expected to find someone else in the cave.

Without a chance to clearly see each other’s faces, the person in black flicked their wrist, and several hidden weapons flew out with a whoosh.

Feng Yexuan sidestepped and tightened his fingers, catching the hidden weapons between them.

His handsome face swiftly changed color.

The intruder drew a short blade with a swoosh and lunged straight at his heart.

Feng Yexuan, with a hint of helplessness, discarded the silver needles in his hand.

As the blade deviated mid-way, aiming for his shoulder, he quickly grasped her wrist.

"Being merciful to an enemy is cruelty to oneself! How can you prevail without striking the killing blow? Foolish woman!"
