Chapter 187: Accompany You
Soon, the content of the holy decree brought back by Old Man Han was known to the civil and military officials of the Dawu Dynasty.
The emperor will issue such an edict, and the officials are not only surprised, but also puzzled.
With that rumor in the first place, the emperor is now so cold and even ruthless about the death of the crown prince, isn't it clearly telling others that the previous rumor is indeed true?
Zhao Tiannan has been the emperor for more than 20 years, and the ministers in the court and the central government can also be said to know his temperament very well, judging from their experience in the past so many years, the emperor does not seem to be a person who will be carried away by anger, even if the rumor is true, they think that the emperor should do something at least on the surface so that people can't talk about the rumor.
Could it be that the emperor's hatred for the three princes has made him unwilling to even do this superficial effort?
No matter what the ministers of the court and the central government think, since the holy decree has been issued, the matter of treating the funeral of the three princes has also been decided.
As a result, the funerals of the prince, Princess Hanyue, and Concubine Ning were extremely simple or even simple, and the external statement was that it was now a year of famine, and the emperor would do so out of streamlining expenses.
This statement naturally deceived some ordinary people who did not understand state affairs, and even some people were moved to tears because of this, and there was a good emperor in the Dawu Dynasty.
As for the fact that the three princes were not buried in the imperial mausoleum in the end, but just randomly found a bad place at the foot of the mountain where the imperial mausoleum is located as a cemetery.
Because of the simplicity of the three princes, in just a few days, the funeral of the three princes has been completed.
Since then, the hundreds of officials in the court seem to have glimpsed some great secret, and whenever they mention the three newly mourned princes, they no longer use the title of prince, princess, and concubine Ning, but use a "those three" to refer to them in general.
Think about it, although the crown prince and Princess Hanyue are not the emperor's flesh and blood, but in the end they are no longer there, and the emperor doesn't even want to give them a decent appearance, if they are still so respectful, aren't they singing against the emperor?
As for who the biological father of Concubine Ning and the prince and Princess Hanyue in the rumor is, no one in the capital has speculated or even tried to find it, but until now, no one has found any clues, it is conceivable that with the death of the three princes, after only a period of time, this matter will gradually be forgotten by people.
And just when the people in the capital were talking about the funeral of the three princes, the three protagonists in this incident were thanking Feng Zhige in the Anguo Mansion.
"Thank you." Princess Hanyue, no, she should be called red makeup now, holding Feng Zhige's hand, her eyes full of sincerity.
Thinking of the experience of the past few days, the red makeup was full of emotion for a while.
From the first time she met Feng Zhige, she could feel the kindness exuded by Feng Zhige, and if she thought about it, Red Makeup could probably understand why Feng Zhige helped her again and again, it should be that time in the Hundred Gardens, she let go of Mu Xiaoxiao who overheard her talking.
After that, the red makeup was fortunate more than once, and he was glad that he was soft-hearted at the beginning.
If she insisted on keeping Mu Xiaoxiao at that time, not mentioning whether she could succeed in keeping Mu Xiaoxiao in the end, it was certain that Feng Zhige would never have saved such kindness.
However, how could Princess Hanyue at that time think that her momentary soft-heartedness would help her so much later?
If it weren't for Feng Zhige, Red Makeup couldn't believe what he and his mother and brother would be like now, dying in the palace, or escaping from the palace after hard work only to end up with no clothes and no food?
Feng Zhige smiled and did not respond to the red makeup's thanks.
To be precise, the reason why she helped the three people in front of her was not just out of the request of the red makeup at the time, maybe she also had the intention of disgusting Zhao Tiannan by the way, plus this matter was just a gesture for her.
"What's next for you?" Feng Zhige asked.
Asked like this, the three of them were silent.
Although they had already left the palace, they all knew that with their previous status, as long as they stayed in the capital, it meant a danger.
Concubine Ning's maiden house is naturally impossible for them to go, because of Concubine Ning's matter, her maiden family is now trembling on thin ice, if the three people who had already announced the death of the world appeared in front of them at this time, even if they were not scared to death, they would definitely not dare to take in the three people.
But if you want to leave the capital to go to other places, where can they go if they have never left the capital for a single step?
Therefore, being asked by Feng Zhige, the three of them all had a kind of heaven and earth for a while, but they were not at a loss where they could stay.
Especially Zhao Zaicun, looking at the woman who was close at hand from the corner of his eye, no one knew the depression and pain in his heart.
He remembered that he had the idea of marrying her as his crown princess.
Now that I think about it, how self-conscious he was at the beginning, and at the same time, I feel deeply glad that his thoughts did not come true, otherwise, the person who is fleeing with him now should have one more her?
Thinking of this, Zhao Zaicun suddenly remembered that he personally married the crown princess Chen who returned to the East Palace.
Before learning about his life experience, Zhao Zaicun had always been resistant to marrying an unknown crown princess, until he learned from the conversation between Concubine Ning and Princess Hanyue that his disgraceful life experience was discouraged, and he had no objection to marrying a wife.
It's not that he didn't see Chen's tenderness and love in his eyes, but he knew that he was destined to be a person with no future, and he didn't want to involve Chen, so he kept his distance from Chen.
When the rumors spread wantonly before, the crown princess Chen did not hear the rumors, but from beginning to end, she only quietly accompanied Zhao Zaicun, even if Zhao Zaicun had been resisting her approach with indifference, even if she knew that the rumor was very likely to be true.
Thinking about it now, Zhao Zaicun is both grateful and guilty for Chen Shuyi's persistence during this time.
He could imagine how embarrassing Chen's situation would be after the death of the prince, who had a questionable background.
He is destined to live up to all the feelings that Chen Shuyi placed on him in this life, he only hopes that after there is no more Zhao Zaicun in the world, Chen Shuyi, who is still innocent, can return to the Chen family, marry another person in the future, and live a peaceful life.
In this way, he will not feel so guilty in his heart.
Just thinking about it like this, Zhao Zaicun immediately had a sense of responsibility in his heart.
He raised his head to look at Feng Zhige, and after several hesitations, he finally said what he thought in his heart.
"Miss Feng, I know that I don't have any position to ask for your help, but I still have the cheekiness to ask Miss Feng for help, so that the Chen family can return to the Chen family."
Feng Zhige thought about it for a while, but understood who Zhao Zaicun was talking about about the Chen family.
In the past, the crown princess Chen also invited her to the East Palace, if she was not mistaken, when Chen mentioned Zhao Zaicun, there was pure love and admiration in his eyes, which was different from those harem concubines who only wanted to compete for favor and power.
Zhao Zaicun's "death", Chen Shuyi's situation is naturally embarrassing, if there is no Zhao Tiannan's words, I am afraid that she can only live in the palace for the rest of her life as the widow of the prince.
That kind of cold loneliness, just think about it, you can know how difficult it is.
Looking at Zhao Zaicun's expression, Feng Zhige can know his thoughts, but even if the Chen family returns to the Chen family, can they really marry as freely as Zhao Zaicun thought?
"Have you ever thought that even if she really returns to the Chen family, who will marry a former crown princess?" Feng Zhige asked.
Zhao Zaicun was speechless.
Yes, just this former identity is enough to make people shy away from Chen Shuyi, not to mention that his life as a prince is still known to be unbearable.
But even so, Zhao Zaicun still insisted on what he had thought before.
"In any case, it is better to let her return to the familiar Chen family than to stay in a cold and unfamiliar palace for the rest of her life." Cho Jae-cun clenched his fists as he spoke.
Feng Zhige glanced at Zhao Zaicun, he was still thinking about Chen Shuyi at this time, and Chen Shuyi's affection was not completely wrong.
So Feng Zhige nodded in agreement.
Zhao Zaicun and Hongxiang both breathed a sigh of relief, but Concubine Ning on the side stopped talking for a long time, but she still didn't say a word.
Feng Zhige didn't have a good impression of Concubine Ning, so even if she knew that Concubine Ning's appearance was different, she didn't take the initiative to ask.
Zhao Zaicun and the three of them avoided others to come to Anguo Mansion today to thank them, and now although they are thanking, they have received Feng Zhige's help again, and they are grateful and ashamed, of course, they are embarrassed to continue to stay in Anguo Mansion, and after sitting for a while, they left with Feng Zhige's resignation.
As for where they will go in the future, Feng Zhige doesn't care.
After the three of them left, Feng Zhige instructed Chen Shuyi, and then Xiao Jingbei appeared in front of her.
Xiao Jingbei was a little depressed at this time, and his handsome face, which looked cold, exuded the message that no one should approach, as for the reason, it was naturally because of Zhao Zaicun, who came here before.
He doesn't like Zhao Zaicun, to be precise, he doesn't like the eagerness in the depths of Zhao Zaicun's eyes when he watches Feng Zhige, which always makes him feel like his own things are being peeped at by others.
That's what he thinks, and that's what he does.
Holding Feng Zhige tightly into his arms and burying his head in Feng Zhige's neck, Xiao Jingbei's voice was a little dull: "Zhige, I don't like him." ”
Xiao Jingbei's tone like a child who hadn't eaten candy made Feng Zhige laugh a little, patted Xiao Jingbei's back, and said like a child: "Well, I don't like him either." ”
Xiao Jingbei then quieted down with some satisfaction.
Although Xiao Jingbei and Feng Zhige have been married for a long time in the past, and the two are usually very close, they always have a strong uneasiness in their hearts, as if Feng Zhige may disappear into his world at any time.
But since Feng Zhige asked the sentence "Do you believe it" and entered the palace with Feng Zhige, perhaps because he knew such a secret, the uneasiness gradually disappeared from his heart little by little.
What has happened in the court and the palace recently, and what do those things mean, Xiao Jingbei, who has been in charge of the Beizhen Fusi for so long, naturally knows it clearly, and he is even excited in his heart, just hoping that this whole thing can end soon, without so many disturbances, he and Zhige will be able to live the peaceful life he dreamed of faster.
Don't say anything loyal and patriotic, as early as when his father was unexplained and poisoned and lay in bed like a living dead for more than ten years, when Zhao Tiannan allowed Zhou Yuran to poison him and ignored him, when Zhao Tiannan later assassinated him for the so-called overall situation, he no longer had loyalty to Zhao Tiannan in his heart.
Since he met Feng Zhige in Huzhou, his later qiē was given by Feng Zhige, so why is it wrong for him to want to live a peaceful life with Feng Zhige?
In fact, speaking of which, Xiao Jingbei is actually a little grateful to Zhou Yuran today.
If it weren't for Zhou Yuran's step-by-step approach, if she hadn't sent someone to kill him when he went to Huzhou, how could he have met Feng Zhige and had to be rescued by her, and how could there have been so much involvement between them.
Taking a deep breath and smelling the tempting fragrance of the person in his arms, Xiao Jingbei's heart immediately felt peaceful.
"Stop singing, when this qiē is over, what do you want to do?" He asked.
This question made Feng Zhige slightly stunned.
She has lived here for two lives, the first life stayed in the Han family for more than ten years, and then fought with Zhao Tiannan in the north and south, and finally settled the country, and died because of Zhao Youjun's poison.
After reliving her life, after opening her eyes in the remote and deserted courtyard in Huzhou, all she wanted was to return to the capital and let Zhao Tiannan taste the taste of losing a qiē.
Counting it down, it seems that she has never let go of a relaxed life.
has been a human being for three lifetimes, compared to the one who was cold in her heart in the later life, Feng Zhige is obviously more peaceful now, and has more expectations for her life.
Therefore, after listening to Xiao Jingbei's question and thinking about it for a while, Feng Zhige had the answer in his heart.
When she first conquered the world, her footprints almost stepped on every inch of the land of the Great Wu Dynasty, but at that time, she only saw blood and fire everywhere, full of devastation, and she never seemed to have a good look at the land she had fought down at the beginning.
"Perhaps...... Is it to put aside a qiē and take a look around? ”
Feng Zhige replied.
Then, remembering that she might have seen the scenery all the way, her eyes gradually increased with a little more anticipation.
When Xiao Jingbei heard this, a soft smile flashed in his eyes.
Just listening to Feng Zhige's tone, he knew that in Feng Zhige's planning, obviously in her plan to take a look, there was no figure of him.
However, it doesn't matter, he will always be by her side, and one day, when she is tired and tired of looking at her, she will imprint him in her heart.
"I'll be with you." North Xiaojing Road. (To be continued.) )
