Chapter 66: The Childless Emperor
“Who would have thought that this heir of the Jun clan somehow learned of the matter.”
“They had long been unable to find a way into the Imperial Mausoleum. Yet now, by wearing Han Sushu’s skin, they can slip inside without a trace.”
In a flash of insight, Li Shun pieced together most of the truth behind the situation.
“Burning the mausoleum…”
“This is a calamity of monstrous proportions. It is nothing like mere grave robbers trespassing. The consequences cannot be taken lightly.”
“If the Imperial Mausoleum Commandary is truly reduced to ashes, setting aside the millions of lives within the mausoleum… even the high officials at court will not escape losing their heads.”
“Fang Xun is now the Garrison Commander of Dongshan, and I belong to the tomb-guarding lineage as well. If this truly unfolds, none of us will be spared.”
After a moment of contemplation, Li Shun had already made his decision.
At Dongshan Garrison, “Fang Xun” wore a grave expression as he rapidly penned a secret report to Dong Chunqiu, informing him of the Jun family’s infiltration into the Imperial Mausoleum.
