After confirming there was no other anomaly, he exited the Empress's sarcophagus, taking with him the pot lid Cheng Xiaoxiao had used to cover the sarcophagus's broken edge.
Gu Ming looked at the pot lid in his hand repeatedly, puzzled. According to the Guard Captain, the tomb robber had kindly used the pot lid to block the hole, preventing any soil from scattering inside the sarcophagus.

As Gu Ming pondered, his eyes grew brighter. Could it be that the child was still alive when the Empress was buried? Could the Little Crown Prince have been rescued? The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
He joyfully shared his conjecture with several colleagues, and they also believed this was highly likely.
