Chapter 763: Mourning Hall
Early the next morning.
The prince of Qi changed into plain clothes, and Wang Min also wore white clothes and white skirts, and led Sister Yue'er, who was also dressed in white, to come.
Sister Yue is five years old, her height is a little taller, and her eyebrows and eyes are much more beautiful than before. It's just that his cowardly demeanor hasn't changed.
The prince of Qi has not seen Sister Yue for more than a year, and at this time, when he saw it, he was not aroused by his father's heart, but his face sank: "Sister Yue, come here." ”
Sister Yue was so frightened that she trembled for a moment, and looked up at the nurse Mother Wu helplessly and helplessly.
Where did Mother Wu dare to speak up.
Wang Min, whose eyes were still red and swollen after crying for most of the night, had to take Sister Yue'er's hand forward. He stopped six feet in front of the prince of Qi.
The cold light and murderous aura in his eyes last night were still vivid.
Early this morning, she heard that two palace maids in the house died "violently". Coincidentally, they were the two who were whispering that day. She also learned from the two of them that Shen Qinglan had lived in the Qi Palace......
The prince of Qi was so ruthless and regarded human life as a mustard, which shocked her and made her even more afraid.
Wang Min didn't raise his eyes, hung his head and said softly: "Sister Yue, hurry up and say hello to your father." ”
Sister Yue'er saluted in a decent manner, but her voice was quieter.
The prince's brows stretched slightly, and his voice was still stern: "As the eldest granddaughter of the Qi Palace, how can you be so afraid of the family's temperament!" Raise your head and look at me. ”
Sister Yue plucked up the courage to raise her head, and as soon as she touched the increasingly cold eyebrows of the prince of Qi, she actually cried on the spot.
King Qi's face became more and more gloomy.
Wang Min's mood fell to the bottom, his body and mind were cold, and he had no interest in coaxing the child. can let her stay alone with the prince of Qi Wang, she has neither courage nor guts.
Wang Min cheered up, led Sister Yue down, coaxed her to stop crying, and then followed the prince of Qi to the prince's mansion.
……
There was an endless stream of officials who came to the prince's mansion to mourn.
The mourning hall was full of vegetarian eyes, and he knelt down in vain.
Men, women, and children all wore filial piety clothes and their faces were full of sorrow. Some of them have red circles under their eyes, and some still have tear stains in the corners of their eyes. The prince of Wei and his wife and the prince of Han came one step earlier, and they all had tears in their eyes at this time.
Sure enough, everyone is a master of acting.
I'm afraid that the only one who is really sad and sad is the crown princess. She has been kneeling in front of the coffin, and the two palace maids are supporting her left and right, so as not to collapse to the ground.
Gu Guanning knelt beside the crown princess, and on the other side were the two brothers of Anping County, the king of Danyang, and Qilin. Although Gillian and Ah Yi were young, they also wore filial piety clothes and knelt in the mourning hall.
A sneer flashed in the eyes of the prince of Qi, and a sad look appeared on his face, leading his wife and daughter to kneel down and kowtow.
When he lowered his head and looked up, he met Gu Wanning's slightly lowered gaze.
In a short time of looking at each other, the two of them flashed with murderous intent in their eyes.
Grace is cut off, soldiers meet each other, and then, only you live and die!
……
After another two days, the grandson finally returned home.
When I returned, it was the middle of the night, and it was the quietest time.
The wake is a very hard job. Except for a short break in the middle of the night and in the early hours of the morning when no one is around, the rest of the time can only be hard. Moreover, when I was in the mourning hall, I knelt most of the time. Even if there is a thick cotton yarn on the knee lining, it is red and swollen at the end of the day.
Not to mention, Gu Wanning has been kneeling for several days in a row.
Taisun looked at Gu Guanning, who looked haggard, and felt distressed, and reached out to gently caress Gu Guanning's face: "These days, I've suffered you." ”
The crown princess was overly sad and frail, and in the past few days, the house has been supported by Gu Guanning. There are still a pair of children to take care of, and Gu Wanning doesn't know how hard it will work.
Gu Wanning also stretched out his hand and gently stroked Taisun's emaciated face: "Don't talk about me, you also work very hard." ”
Emperor Yuanyou fell ill on the couch, and he didn't ask about everything in the court. Taisun has been in the palace for the past few days, not only to accompany and serve Emperor Yuanyou, but also to ask about things inside and outside the palace, which is more difficult than her.
The husband and wife each feel sorry for each other.
Taisun wanted to grin, but found that he was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to pull the corners of his mouth, so he couldn't help but sigh.
Gu Wanning seemed to see his thoughts, and said softly, "Aren't you tired?"
Taisun snorted.
If you are tired, you can't go back to Wutong to rest, so you have to continue to guard in the mourning hall.
This is what a son of man and a daughter-in-law should do. The more times like these, the more cautious we must be, and we must not leave behind any unfilial piety.
"Rest your head on my shoulder and take a nap. Gu Guanning said softly.
Taisun was indeed very tired and subconsciously listened to her words. He was half a head taller than her, and he had to bend over to lean on her shoulder.
To be fair, it's not a comfortable position.
But the moment his head rested on her shoulder, the tiredness and sadness that had been suppressed for several days suddenly dissipated like a cloud of smoke. Out of nowhere, the body gushed out again, and it spread throughout the body.
……
Taisun quickly raised his head, and there was a familiar light in his eyes again: "I have rested, and now I have strength." It's your turn to rest on me. ”
A smile flashed in Gu Wanning's eyes, and he was not polite: "Okay, I'll rest for a while." ”
She snuggled into his arms.
He stretched out his arms around her waist and adjusted his position to make her more comfortable.
After embracing each other quietly for a moment, Taisun lowered his head and wanted to speak softly to her. Only to find that she had fallen asleep on his chest.
Taisun's nose was slightly sour, and he didn't dare to move, his eyes lingering on her face.
This face, he had seen it thousands of times in his previous life.
In this life, they have been husband and wife for five years, and except for the few months when she was in Jingyun Nunnery, they spent a lot of time together. But he never had enough, and stared at her until the earth was desolate.
She was indeed too tired, and she was full of green shadows right now.
Taisun sighed lovingly.
Such a slight sigh actually made Gu Wanning wake up.
"If you feel tired, just lie in my arms for a few more moments. Taisun said softly.
Gu Wanning took a nap, and then he had recovered a lot of energy, and said in a low voice: "No need." We sat down together and talked. ”
It stands to reason that you should always kneel in the mourning hall. However, in the middle of the night, there is no need to pay so much attention. Find a thick cushion, sit side by side, and whisper.
Even if there was a cold coffin in the mourning hall, it did not affect the interest of the husband and wife in whispering and gossiping.
The guards guarding outside the mourning hall had already retreated a little.
"Ah Yan's matter has made the emperor's grandfather angry!" Gu Wanning asked in a low voice.
The grandson didn't hide it from her: "Grandfather Huang is indeed a little angry. However, even if there was no such thing, he would summon the king of Qi and them back to Beijing. ”
There is no such thing as the best of both worlds. If you want to protect Shen Jinyan's life, you will inevitably dislike Emperor Yuanyou.
