96: The woman on the wall, her tragic life.

As soon as Wu Jing finished speaking, Yang Mi didn't understand either.

Reba, Bai Lu, and Zhang Dada didn't understand either; they hadn't even heard of it.

They understood the patterns even less.

"Control."

Ye Bai stared at the coffin for a long time before finally uttering this word.

"Control?"

"Control what?"

Yang Mi and Wu Jing asked, puzzled.

"The black dog blood, cinnabar, and black soil used to Seal the outer coffin are to prevent the person inside from turning into a corpse. Once that happens, these things will act as a Seal, forcing her to become the guardian of this Tomb."

"And for this person to become a guardian, she must have died a horrific death and possess immense resentment. As for who this person is... you can find her identity on the wall."

Ye Bai said calmly, then turned and walked to the inner wall.

After hearing Ye Bai's words, Yang Mi and Wu Jing felt their hearts tighten instantly.

They looked pale as they stared at the remains lying on the ground.

Was it because this thing turned into a corpse that these people died? Is that why it killed them?

Thinking of this possibility, they all shivered in unison.

"I've already thought of those horror movie scenes. Will we see those green-faced, fanged zombies later?"

Reba looked at the coffin timidly, gripping Yang Mi's arm tighter, her voice trembling.

"Stop, Sister Reba, I'm scared too!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Chaoyue already had mental images forming in her head.

"Stop talking, let's hurry and find Ye Bai. Even if there are zombies, only Ye Bai can handle them."

Meng Ziyi was now extremely confident in Ye Bai; no matter what he said, she would believe him unconditionally.

Meng Ziyi's words served as a reminder to them; they should stay closer to Ye Bai.

The group hurried after Ye Bai. Only then did they notice that on the walls with the two Oil Lamps, there were carved Murals, but these Murals were very different from the ones they had seen before.

These looked simpler.

They depicted a scene of a woman and a man getting married, with figures wearing different clothing.

The woman followed the wedding procession into the city, where a man wearing luxurious robes and a hair crown stood with his hands behind his back.

Another scene showed the woman being beaten by the man, and there were even scenes of many maidservants bullying her.

The third scene showed the woman giving birth; the child died shortly after birth, and the woman was holding the child, weeping bitterly.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth scenes were the same, the only difference being the child—the child's size grew larger each time.

It ended with the woman's death, after which she was placed into the coffin.

"What does this mean? Why don't I understand?"

"Is the person locked inside a woman?"

Seeing this, Reba couldn't help but feel curious.

"It should be, but this woman doesn't look like she is from this country. The wedding clothes are different from the clothes of the Yelang Kingdom."

Bai Lu nodded; she had noticed that the people's clothing was different.

"Could it be a political marriage? I remember when I was filming before, there were scenes like this. It's normal for people from foreign countries to wear their own clothes when being sent for marriage."

Meng Ziyi suddenly thought of this and hurriedly said to them.

"That's possible; it's very likely she was sent for a political marriage."

Wu Jing nodded as well; this was very likely.

"Why would a princess sent for a political marriage be subjected to domestic violence?"

Reba pointed to the Mural of the woman being beaten and asked, puzzled.

Wu Jing and Yang Mi frowned and fell silent.

In the Live Stream Room—

[Damn! Is this that woman's life? This is too tragic!]

[What is this? Domestic violence existed in ancient times? Damn! Is this a tradition passed down?]

[Oh my god! What is going on? Isn't she a princess sent for a political marriage? Why would she be subjected to domestic violence? Isn't he afraid of causing a conflict? I don't understand!]

[What do you understand? This is a matter between two countries. Who would overthrow a Dynasty for a princess? Have you ever seen anyone go to war for a woman? A woman's role is to maintain peace!!]

[Damn! It's really unlucky to be a woman, living a life like this!!]

[No wonder this woman has such immense resentment. If it were me, I would be full of resentment too, maybe even crazier than her!!]

The audience was now full of sympathy and curiosity about this woman.

Inside the Archaeology Academy—

When the professors saw these Murals, they observed them carefully, afraid of missing any important clues.

But after seeing these scenes, they were stunned.

"Is this a princess sent for a political marriage? Why did she have such a hard life?"

One of the professors said, puzzled.

"I have heard of the Yelang Kingdom before. This king was quite a short-tempered person. It's understandable to say he was cruel, but I didn't expect that even this cruel person wouldn't spare his own wife."

"And he could even tolerate a group of maidservants bullying her... this is really hard to describe!"

Professor Guo couldn't help but feel sorrow for this woman.

"I suspect this woman died under strange circumstances. Look at the last scene."

Professor Qian suddenly pointed to the final Mural.

"Look at this woman's body. She was naturally placed inside the coffin, but her arms and body are covered in wounds, and there are scars on her face... I suspect she died from abuse."

The other professors put on their glasses and stared closely at the Mural in front of them.

They really did notice the woman's injuries, exactly as he had described.

Professor Guo thought of what Ye Bai had said.

This woman died a horrific death and possessed immense resentment...

Could it be that the person locked inside is this princess sent for a political marriage?

Thinking of this!

Professor Guo immediately began to scrutinize Ye Bai. He really knew so much!!

Inside the Tomb.

"Ye Bai, do you understand?"

Reba didn't quite understand, so she turned and looked at Ye Bai.

"She was sent by her kingdom for a political marriage. To be precise, she was forced to marry the monarch of the Yelang Kingdom. But after marrying him, he didn't treat her well. He had promised to give her the status of Queen, but he broke his word."

"Not only did he fail to keep his promise, but he also abused her physically and verbally. She gave birth to one child after another, but they all died prematurely."

"They didn't die because of illness, but were murdered. She was furious and tried to kill the monarch of the Yelang Kingdom, but was killed in retaliation."

"He used the most cruel methods to kill the princess sent for the political marriage and Sealed her here."

Ye Bai swept his gaze over these Murals and said calmly.

"Ah?"

Reba was very surprised. He could glean so much information just by looking at a Mural?

All they saw was that the woman was unlucky to have met a man who committed domestic violence. They didn't expect there to be so many stories behind it!

"Ye Bai, is this something you came up with yourself? Things might not be exactly as you say, right?"

Zhang Dada smiled disdainfully.
