Chapter 498: What Should I Do?
’Those two have no reincarnations? If so, Gao Weiye is wrong to think Manman is Mingxia. And so, who is the woman I loved in my past life? Could Manman be that person? ’
Lu Yuanjun slowly composed himself to stand up and before he gathered the courage to remove the stone covering, he saw Zhong Yanchen by his side with surprised expressions and extremely exuberant.
Yuanjun was too weak to say anything and he felt a surge of emotions that he couldn’t control and he felt hard to breathe.
Zhong Yanchen was already wearing gloves and was extremely careful in touching everything and removed the stone lid of the coffin and was perplexed to see the inside.
"It... They... Yuanjun... They are well-preserved... How...? Mummification? But they are this well preserved like they died only yesterday. They should have been not more than fifty when they died and they seem to be of higher status... Prince, maybe? Yes, the coronet he has and her headdress... They are Prince and Princess Consort. But the woman is buried with a sword! How? This proves that there were women generals back then too... Do you know how historic this find is? Yuanjun..." Zhong Yanchen continued with his ramble while Yuanjun stood holding the coffin and looked in.
Those couple both clad in red silk... Both of them seem to have been died smiling... The man, his brother seemed more happy... Did he die later and was happy to have joined his wife in death?
Their dominance well expressed in the grandeur of everything around them...
Yuanjun was perplexed as he looked at them with their grey hair looking like they were peacefully sleeping. On her hands were the bracelet she loved to wear, the green jade bracelet among other jewellery and on her ears she wore some other earring possibly gifted by her husband.
His hands gently went closer to the sword that still had the decorated scabbard on and pulled the scabbard out without touching anything else and ths golden sword inside was revealed gleaming in the sunlight.
"Do not touch it!" Yanchen cried but he was more surprised by the sword made of gold, still intact.
"Wait... A golden sword? Is this just a symbolism of some sort? Who would use a golden sword for fighting right? So was she from a general’s family and so to honour her, they let her be buried with a golden sword? Look at this carving... It looks like she is also from a scholarly family... How... "
Zhong Yanchen mumbled to himself and continued to check everything out but Lu Yuanjun on the other hand was stunned.
