Chapter 704: Mourning

After Du Qinghe listened, he saw that Chu Qingli didn't give any more instructions, so he went out.

Chu Qingli thought that after all, he was the emperor's father, and the emperor must have been busy in the palace after his death, and it was estimated that Xiao Pan would come back late tonight, and maybe he might not come back.

Next, the government and the opposition are busy, but this is none of Chu Qingli's business, Chu Qingli is a little worried in her heart, she is afraid that Jiang Guoguo will make a move at this time, and Liu Ningxi is queen is estimated to have no intention of caring about these things during this time, which makes Chu Qingli faintly worried.

Just as Chu Qingli thought, when Xiao Pan came back, it was already late at night, and he entered the room with a cold air, Chu Qingli fell asleep in a daze, but he didn't open his eyes when he knew that it was Xiao Pan, and he squinted and fell asleep again.

And Xiao Pan, who was standing on the side, looked at Chu Qingli gently, there was a bowl of steaming soup on the table, which was brought in by Du Qinghe, Xiao Pan's eyes became more and more soft, he quietly drank the hot soup in one go, and felt the heat from his stomach to his whole body, just like Chu Qing was to him.

It's a pity that Chu Qingli didn't know these things when he slept deeply, when he woke up, Xiao Pan was no longer there, there was an empty bowl on the table, and Chu Qingli was sure that Xiao Pan was back.

Today, the snow has stopped, but the sky is still gray, and with one wail after another, it makes people feel even more depressed.

Du Qinghe saw that Chu Qingli had woken up, so he served Chu Qingli to get up, and talked to Chu Qingli at the same time: "Today, the emperor has been in the coffin."

Chu Qingli listened, he couldn't say any emotions in his heart, anyway, it wasn't sadness, he felt relieved and felt that the rights and wrongs between him and the former emperor were also understood with the death of the first emperor.

"Later, let the next person replace the house with a white veil." Chu Qingli said lightly.

"Yes." Du Qinghe should go down, and then let people bring breakfast up, and saw that Chu Qingli began to eat, so he went down to take someone to the house.

The emperor died and the whole country mourned, and Princess Mu's identity naturally had to be hung with a white cloth, but it was usually three days, but the new emperor needed three months.

For a time, the whole capital was white, the snow on the ground was white, the walls were everywhere in the sky, the whole capital fell into silence, and all entertainment activities stopped.

When Du Qinghe came back after doing this, he said something to Chu Qingli again: "Princess, Shen Qiurong was also executed today, it was a capital punishment, and I heard that the snow was full of bright red blood."

Chu Qingli sighed, he didn't expect Shen Qiurong to survive in prison for so long, and finally died in a cold winter. Chu Qingli thought about how much he couldn't draw, how cold it was.

However, Chu Qingli didn't think about it for long, all hatred was gone, and what was important now was the matter of Jiang Guo, so Chu Qingli asked, "What is the new news about Jiang Guo?"

Du Qinghe was stunned and shook his head: "Back to the princess, not yet."

Chu Qingli exhaled and didn't say anything more, looking at Du Qinghe with white flowers on his head, he remembered another thing: "Is there no hairpin on my head and white flowers?"

Du Qinghe looked at Chu Qingli's hair and shook his head.

Chu Qing said casually: "Bring it to me too, the province will be tongue-stricken."

Du Qinghe took out many white flowers and brought them up, which is the rule, but it is also three days of mourning.

After taking it, Chu Qingli touched the words on his head and sighed: "The first emperor has died, it seems that your marriage with Qinghan will have to be delayed again."

This is the rule, but whenever the emperor dies, the courtiers must not have happy events within a year, but Du Qinghe doesn't think it's okay not to get married, it's good now, Chu Qinghan and the prince go home together, she can be by Chu Qinghan's side, and she can be by Chu Qingli's side, this total life is the best for Du Qinghe.

Du Qinghe thought so and said: "Being able to be by the princess's side, Qinghan's side, it's the same whether you marry or not in this kind of life now."

But Chu Qingli felt a little guilty in her heart, the things she promised at that time had not been done yet, she touched Du Qinghe's head: "I'm sorry for you."

Du Qinghe looked up at Chu Qingli and said with a smile: "It's not bitter."

The master and servant were warm and silent, and suddenly there was a voice from outside: "Princess, someone from the palace asks to see you."

Chu Qingli was a little surprised, shouldn't everyone inside and outside the palace be busy with the death at this time? Why is there still someone looking for her now?

Thinking of this, Chu Qingli said to the outside world: "Bring people in."

As soon as the person came in, Chu Qingli recognized it, it was a eunuch beside Liu Ningxi, and he was the one who came to spread the word last time.

"I've seen Princess Mu." The eunuch was dressed in a filial salute.

Chu Qingli said detachedly: "Father-in-law, please get up, I don't know what is going on here."

The eunuch said respectfully: "The queen mother invited you to the palace to discuss it."

Chu Qing was centrifuged, and for a while he thought that maybe Liu Ningxi had the news that Jiang Guo was there, but he immediately denied his speculation, and it was more likely that it was something else.

Although Chu Qingli couldn't be sure what was going on, Liu Ningxi must have something, otherwise he wouldn't let her enter the palace at this time, Chu Qingli replied: "I'll leave now."

Immediately the father-in-law went out, Chu Qingli changed into a white dress under Du Qinghe's service, although Chu Qingli was also wearing light-colored clothes just now, but lest someone make a fuss, he still changed to white.

After packing up, Chu Qingli entered the palace with the eunuch, and after entering the palace, the atmosphere of dead silence and depression became more and more obvious.

The palace maids and eunuchs who passed by were all plain white, their heads bowed and they didn't speak, their faces were dead, and after walking all the way into the queen's palace, Chu Qingli heard cries and wails.

Chu Qingli thought that he was probably crying for the emperor, but he didn't think that it would come here.

When the eunuch guarding the door saw that it was Chu Qingli, he hurriedly greeted him, Chu Qingli looked around, and there was white everywhere above his head, and the snow on the surrounding roads was shoveled clean.

It didn't take long to walk from the entrance hall, but Chu Qing's nose had been red from freezing for so long, and there was a cold air all over his body, but as soon as he entered the inner hall, he noticed a wave of heat coming.

As soon as Chu Qingli came in, a palace maid stepped forward to take off the white fur she was wearing outside, Chu Qingli couldn't help but shudder, but because of the temperature difference, it was only relieved in a moment.

Liu Ningxi sat on the warm couch and raised her head when she saw Chu Qing leaving.

Chu Qing left to salute: "I've seen the queen mother."

Liu Ningxi: "Hurry up and give me a seat."

Chu Qingli sat opposite Liu Ningxi, and she saw that Liu Ningxi's eyes were red and swollen, and her eyes were blue and black, and she estimated that she hadn't slept well since the death of the first emperor.
