Volume 4 The Envoy Chapter 15 Return Your Wishes
Seeing the two unexpected visitors, East Invincible and North Peerless, although Yi Xiaofei and Shallot were a little surprised, they quickly came back to their senses.
The onion stepped forward and slapped the north slap hard, and asked, "Xiaobai, when did you come to the capital?" ”
Bei Juese said: "I only arrived yesterday. ”
Yi Xiaofei glanced at Dong Wuyi and Bei Jue, and said, "Don't stand here." Shallot, close the door of the shop, and everyone go to the inner room and sit down. ”
The door of the medical hall was closed, and everyone moved to the inner room of the medical center.
The doctor poured tea for everyone neatly, and everyone began to take turns chatting about what happened to them after they parted in the valley. The medical sister and brother had heard Bei Juese tell what had happened in the past few months, and the two were not too surprised.
After saying everything that should be said, it began to be a little cold. At this time, Bei Juese looked at Shallot and Song Gongbao as if he remembered something, and asked: "Scallion, Brother Song, you are familiar with the people in the palace, I have something I want to trouble you." ”
"What's the matter?" Shallot and Song Gongbao asked in unison.
Bei Jue's expression darkened for a moment, but soon he showed a light smile and said, "Can you help me inquire about where Princess Gongjing's burial place is?" ”
Dong Invincible, Shallot and Song Gongbao all looked at Bei Jue with complicated eyes, and Dong Invincible's eyes were still a little nervous and worried.
Bei Juese understood the meaning in their gaze. He didn't want everyone to worry about it for no reason, so he hurriedly raised his hand and explained: "It's rare to come to the capital once, I just want to take this rare opportunity to pay homage to my old friend." ”
The onion looked at Song Gongbao and asked, "The surname is Song, do you know where the princess is buried?" ”
Song Gongbao rarely pondered seriously for a moment and said, "I know." However, it is a royal land after all, and you have to arrange it before you can set off. Xiaobeibei, you go back to the Huitong Pavilion first, and then I will inform you when to leave when everything is taken care of. ”
"Okay, then I'll go back and wait for your news."
After Bei Juese said goodbye to everyone, he and Dong Wushu returned to the hall to wait for the news of Song Gongbao.
Song Gongbao's work efficiency is very high, and after Bei Juese had lunch, he sent a shopkeeper to come over and spread the word, informing Bei Juese to go to Sijixiang.
Bei Juese immediately put on a small burden that had already been placed on his back, and after saying something to Ruan Jinglun, he was about to go out. The brothers and sisters of the Meng family wanted to keep up with the protection, but he resolutely refused to let them go together on the grounds that "it is not appropriate to take too many people to the market to do private affairs", and finally only accompanied by Dong Wushu hurriedly walked out of the guild hall, and rushed to Sijixiang in the sedan chair sent by the Song Palace.
The palanquin man sent the two of them directly to the back door of Sijixiang's kitchen, and Song Gongbao was already standing in front of the door waiting. As soon as he saw them coming out of the sedan chair, Song Gongbao immediately pointed to the carriage parked on the side and said, "Get in the car." ”
The space in the carriage is not very spacious, but there is a long soft seat covered with brocade on the left and right sides and at the back, and it is indescribably comfortable to sit on.
Song Gongbao got into the car with a round bamboo basket filled with incense candles and other simple offerings, he sat down and shouted outside the car: "Go!" ”
The coachman raised his whip in response, and the carriage began to move forward. However, the carriage stopped after walking a few steps, and heard someone outside the carriage shouting: "His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
This voice sounded very much like Meng Qing.
Bei Juese looked out of the window suspiciously, and sure enough, he saw Meng Qing, only to see her opening her arms in front of the car. As soon as she saw Bei Juese, she immediately opened her voice and shouted: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, how can you disregard your own safety and leave your personal guards to run around?" What did you say about it, and how do you tell us to explain it to the king?! ”
Meng Qing said louder and louder, and before alarming more people, Bei Juese hurriedly jumped out of the car and rushed forward to cover her mouth and drag her to the car, lowered her voice and said, "Don't shout!" I'll take you with me now, okay? ”
Meng Qing's face showed a treacherous smile and said, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has spoken, then I will reluctantly go with you." ”
The North Stunning Colors felt a little defeated by her.
The carriage was on the road again, and after a short time it came to the foot of a hill that was not very high.
Song Gongbao jumped out of the car and said, "This is the royal cemetery, and the carriage is not good to run up." I have said hello to the people in the mausoleum, and we will not get into any trouble as long as we take the path and quietly walk up to pay respects. ”
With that, he led the way, plunging into a path where the grass grew on both sides was a man tall. After walking up the hill along the path, after walking for about half an hour, a cemetery full of tombstones appeared in front of me.
After Song Gongbao took everyone around the cemetery for most of the circle, he said, "This is it!" ”
Everyone followed his gaze and saw a new tomb huddled in an inconspicuous corner, the color of the tombstone looking a little out of place with the other old graves.
Bei Jue Se walked through a few tombstones and walked briskly to the grave. On the tombstone standing in front of the tomb, it is engraved with "The Tomb of Princess Daming Gongjing".
Bei Juese stood in front of the tombstone, reached out and touched the red word, smiled softly, and said, "Jing'er, I can finally visit you in front of your grave." ”
He turned around and took the bamboo basket in the hand of the Song Gong Bao, lit the incense candles and inserted them in front of the tombstone one by one, burned those simple offerings, and then untied a burden on his back, opened it, shook off the hundred flowers wedding dress in front of the tombstone, and said to the cold tombstone: "Jing'er, you said before that you wanted to embroider a hundred flowers wedding dress, and I promised you that you would help you." I will fulfill the wish you couldn't fulfill in your lifetime. You won't blame me for helping you rust this flower wedding dress without your consent, right? ”
The answer to him was a gentle breeze, and the white candle burning in front of the tomb shook a few times. The others standing behind him looked at his back in silence as if they were afraid of disturbing the peace around him.
Bei Juese squatted down and lit the flower wedding dress with the fire on the white candle, and the string of flames quickly devoured the bright red silk and colorful flowers, burning all the vivid colors into black ash.
Bei Juese stood up and quietly watched the flower wedding dress that he had spent all his life embroidering, turning into inch by inch in the firelight. A sourness welled up in the frame of his eyes, and he raised his head to look at the sky, not letting the tears that were brewing in his eyes fall.
The wedding dress eventually became a pile of dead ashes, and the incense candles in front of the tomb burned to the end.
Song Gongbao stepped forward and whispered, "It's almost time to leave." Staying too long will make the other grave keepers find out. ”
Bei Juese once again reached out and touched the cold tombstone, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Jing'er, I'm leaving." I don't know if there will be a chance to visit you in the future, so you have to take care of yourself. ”
After saying that, he turned back to everyone and said, "Let's go." There was a sadness on his face that couldn't be concealed, and there were faint tears in the corners of his eyes.
The others looked at him and didn't say anything, just silently walked back the way they came.
