The Fukang Palace, a gloomy cloud.

Even after half a night of washing, there was still a faint smell of blood in the air.

Jia Baoyu was wearing a filial piety belt, looked at the eldest prince who was lying quietly in the coffin, and said coldly: "Close the coffin." ”

Following his orders, several guards worked together to close the coffin and carry it into the large wooden ice basin behind him.

In this weather, if you don't use ice, let alone 7749 days, it's three days, and the corpse should stink.

"Young Master Cousin, the side concubine is looking for you......"

A maid came out and said timidly.

Jia Baoyu frowned.

Although he is a cousin and brother, there are other concubines in the inner courtyard of the palace after all, how can he enter at will?

But thinking about what happened to this cousin Yurou, on the day of the wedding, she was first set on fire to the wedding room and almost burned to death, and after waking up, she heard that her husband had been killed......

Originally, Wang Ziteng proposed to take her home to recuperate, but apparently, he did not get consent.

At this time, she was alone in this palace full of unjust souls, and it was common for her to be frightened.

Sighing, Jia Baoyu nodded, and let the maid and the eunuch lead the way.

He promised Wang Ziteng that day that he would take care of this cousin, and in the face of her reasonable request, Jia Baoyu should comply.

The backyard of the palace looked unusually deserted.

Also, I heard that the original many eunuchs and palace maids in the palace have been six or seven out of ten, and even many singers, concubines, and L children have been executed......

The ruthlessness and cruelty of imperial power are vividly demonstrated here.

At this time, there was only one princess left in the palace, a few high-ranking concubines and a little of their own servants.

Before coming to an attic, Jia Baoyu followed the etiquette and entered.

Then in the bright room where dozens of candles were lit, I saw my cousin.

Wang Yurou, a seventeen-year-old girl in flowers.

It's just that she looks unusually haggard at this time.

On the face that is not too stunning, it is full of sorrow and depression, and there are tears that have not dried.

"Baoyu~"

When she saw Jia Baoyu, she immediately stood up and took Jia Baoyu's hand.

Although Jia Baoyu felt that she was not very familiar with her, because she had only met a few times. But for Wang Yurou, Jia Baoyu is her cousin who she has known since childhood, although there is a little friction, but the relationship is quite good.

In this vast and deep palace, the only person she can rely on is Jia Baoyu.

So when I saw him at this time, I naturally seemed very close and dependent.

Jia Baoyu said: "Cousin, don't worry, now there are no assassins in the palace, cousin just needs to recuperate in peace, don't let your uncle and aunt worry." ”

"But, Baoyu, I'm really scared......"

Wang Yurou said and cried again.

Jia Baoyu watched this beauty cry, but there were no infinite ripples in her heart like Daiyu. Xu is that he has seen Wang Yurou a few times before, and knows that she is not a weak and kind woman.

At least, it's not the temperament of Yingchun.

As the only daughter of Wang Ziteng, she has arrogant capital.

Overall, this is a tsundere girl who has been spoiled since childhood.

It's just that I'm so weak now, but I've been hit too hard today.

Therefore, apart from some sympathy and a touch of pity, Jia Baoyu was not too deeply touched.

That's fate. If the eldest prince doesn't die, she may still be arrogant, maybe relying on the prince's momentum, even the princess can ignore it.

But now, she can only be regarded as a rootless duckweed, and no one can help her.

"Baoyu, will you leave the palace tonight? Can you just stay here with me......"

"Cousin, you really don't have to worry, around this palace and the front and back courtyard gates, there are guards of the Praetorian Army under my command who take turns to guard them, and there will definitely be no assassins mixed in.

You get a good night's sleep, and when you wake up tomorrow, maybe you'll be fine. ”

Faced with Wang Yurou's request for "rudeness", Jia Baoyu naturally couldn't agree.

If he dared to stay in the backyard of the palace for one night, perhaps Emperor Jingtai would have every reason to dispose of himself.

"No, as soon as I close my eyes now, there is fire everywhere and the screams of those people......

Baoyu, how about you send me back to Wang's house and send me back to my father? ”

Wang Yurou said, and was about to turn around and pack her luggage.

She had wanted to leave a long time ago, but no one dared to let her go.

For Wang Yurou, who seemed to be a little mentally disturbed, Jia Baoyu had no other way but to say to the maids brought from the Wang family: "Take good care of the side concubines, take turns to guard at night, and never slack off!" ”

"Yes." The maids hurriedly agreed. Obediently, who dares to be careless and slack off in this stall, don't die.

"Then cousin, you have a good rest, I will come to see you tomorrow."

Jia Baoyu and Wang Yurou said a word, and they were about to turn around and leave.

"Don't you go......"

Wang Yurou, who was packing up her things, saw that Jia Baoyu was leaving, so she immediately caught up with her in a few arrow steps, hugged Jia Baoyu from behind, and did not allow him to go.

"Cousin, you let go."

Jia Baoyu said in a deep voice.

He had already walked to the door of the house, and Wang Yurou was holding him like this, which was very inappropriate.

"I won't, you're not allowed to leave ......"

Taking a deep breath, Jia Baoyu turned around and looked at this cousin helplessly.

With such a temperament, it is fortunate that the eldest prince is dead, otherwise, the entanglement of interests involved in it, I am afraid that this woman will not be able to withstand the destruction at all.

Half an hour later, more than a dozen mothers-in-law and maids came from Wang's house.

Among them is Wang Yurou's biological mother, who was picked up by Jia Baoyu from the Wang family.

Sure enough, there were a lot of people, Wang Yurou finally quieted down a little, and then Jia Baoyu gave them another command, and then turned around and walked out of the inner courtyard.

There was no problem in checking everywhere, and Jia Baoyu also took people out of the palace.

These days were all preparations, and only three days later did the vigil begin. Then he stopped for forty-nine days and was sent to the royal ancestral grave for burial.

When I returned to Ning Rong Street, it was late at night, and everything was quiet.

Jia Baoyu didn't want to disturb Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, so he dismounted in front of the Earl's Mansion and prepared to return to Daguan Garden from Ningguo Mansion.

was going to go back to Yihong Courtyard directly, but in the end it still woke You Shi.

She rushed over wearing a mid-coat and a cloak.

In this way, Jia Baoyu can only treat him with courtesy.

"I heard that there is an assassin who is driving the Holy Assassin today, and the second uncle is driving with him, but are you okay?"

You Shi is as gentle and virtuous as ever.

And Jia Baoyu found that compared with the previous You family, the current You family is a little more docile, and the whole person looks more relaxed than before.

In the past, although You Shi was also a grandmother, she needed to be cautious everywhere.

Now that Jia Mu and the others don't want to see her, she stays in this small world alone, and no one is against her, and the days are getting more and more demure.

Simply responded to You Shi's concern, and was about to resist You Shi's reluctance to leave.

Suddenly, You Shi said again: "Second Uncle came back so late, he must have been busy for a long time, he should be hungry, right?" It's better for the second uncle to go back to the main house first, rest for a while, and the concubine immediately ordered the kitchen to cook some simple meals, and the second uncle used it before entering the garden. ”

Hearing her say this, Jia Baoyu really felt a little hungry.

Although there is a kitchen in the garden, it must be closed so late, but it is indeed a little more convenient here.

Hence the nod.

"Okay, Yindi, you hurry up and help the second uncle to the main house, so that he can serve."

You Shi seemed very happy, ordered the maids, and made a standard salute to Jia Baoyu, and rushed to the kitchen.
