During the Qing Dynasty, several tomb robbers dug up the tomb of Concubine Cao in the imperial tomb, but unexpectedly, when they entered the tomb, a woman with a cloak and hair escaped along the robbery hole. This woman's name is Ziwei, and she was originally Concubine Cao's personal palace maid, but why is she in the tomb?
It turned out that Concubine Cao was Xianfeng's favorite concubine. After she died of illness, Xianfeng ordered the 8 palace maids around Concubine Cao to be buried together in order to continue to enjoy the happiness of the concubine in another world.
In ancient times, people who were martyred were the closest people to the deceased.
The 8 palace maids selected by Xianfeng were all concubines of Concubine Cao's personal palace before her death.
Among them, the smart and handsome Ziwei was Concubine Cao's favorite personal palace maid during her lifetime.
Although this kind of thing is very common in ancient society, whether it is a royal family or an ordinary rich and wealthy family, there are cases of people being martyred.
But people live well, who wants to die with others in a daze!
Therefore, after the 8 palace maids learned that they were going to be martyred for their masters, they cried and made trouble, and even tried to escape.
But unfortunately, they were surrounded by guards sent by the emperor, and they were arrested not long after running out.
The palace maids cried at first, and after crying for a few days, they stopped crying, because no matter how much they cried, no matter how much they struggled, it was useless, anyway, they were all dead, it was better to save some effort, maybe there was a glimmer of life.
After the palace maids were imprisoned in the underground palace, as the stone gate closed, they fell into complete darkness, desperately leaning together and slowly waiting for the arrival of death.
What is unbelievable is that although the dungeon is closed, and the air inside is getting thinner and thinner, it is not completely isolated from the outside world, and it seems that there is still air flow exchanging with the gap.
Several palace maids just felt that they couldn't breathe well and looked very dull, but the amount of oxygen inhaled was obviously not enough, so they were drowsy most of the time.
I don't know that after a few days, the palace maids are already so hungry that they have no strength at all.
Suddenly, the screams of a palace maid pierced the already gloomy dungeon.
It turned out that she noticed something moving at her feet, reached out and touched it, and it turned out to be a snake with thick wrists.
The palace maids were so frightened that they screamed and trembled, but they didn't expect Ziwei to pounce as if she had seen a savior, grabbed the snake and shook it on the ground a few times.
Then, she fumbled and broke a clay pot, picked up the tiles and began to peel the snake's skin, persuading everyone to eat a little snake meat and find a way to survive first.
But the other palace maids didn't have the courage to say that they wouldn't eat anything.
A few days later, his companions starved to death, and Ziwei was the only one left in the tomb.
But she did not despair because of this, and remained strong and alive, struggling to survive by the snake that crawled into the dungeon.
At first, she also thought that if the snake could crawl in, why couldn't she dig a hole to get out?
So, she used tiles and other things to look for a place to dig in the walls of the underground palace.
But after groping around, she was disappointed. The dungeon is surrounded by brick walls, and the snake doesn't know from which crack it came into, but it's almost impossible to dig out from the inside.
Just when Ziwei was in despair, she suddenly heard the sound of "dong dong dong" outside the underground palace, and even the sound of iron tools colliding with stones.
Ziwei, who heard the movement, was very excited, knowing that it must not be someone who was so kind and wanted to break through the dungeon to save the people inside, but the tomb robbers wanted the dungeon to ask for money.
Ziwei's guess was right, not long after Concubine Cao was buried, several tomb robbers found out the news.
They heard that Concubine Cao's tomb contained countless gold and silver treasures. Moreover, when Concubine Cao was buried, she still had a priceless night pearl in her mouth.
Money often unmakes the men who make it. The tomb robbers ate this bowl of rice, and when they heard that there were many treasures in Concubine Cao's tomb, they were all excited, and after a few days of preparation, they began to dig at night.
After Ziwei heard the sound, she knew that she was about to see the light of day again, so she fumbled and hid in a corner and waited quietly, not daring to make a sound, for fear of scaring off the tomb robbers.
After a long time, a hole finally appeared in the wall of the dungeon, with the sound of falling bricks, and entered the dungeon with the bright light of the torches.
After a while, several tomb robbers rushed in, looked at the scene in the dungeon and were taken aback, and all stood in place with their mouths open.
On the ground of the underground palace, the remains of 7 palace maids were lying, as well as stains of blood and the skins of several snakes.
To be honest, Rao is an experienced tomb robber, and I'm afraid he has never seen such a scene, and he was so surprised that he couldn't ease his senses for a long time.
Just when several tomb robbers were stunned, Ziwei saw the opportunity, jumped out of the corner, and escaped from the underground palace along the robbery hole amid the screams of the tomb robbers.
Ziwei, who escaped from the underground palace, did not stay too long, and left the imperial tomb under the cover of night, stumbling all the way to a mountain village.
Here she met a kind Orion, with whom she started a family and started a new life.
