Chapter 207: The Last Side
The rain was falling endlessly, smashing on the roof of the shed, making a huge noise, and Nuan Jin stood there dejectedly, watching Yan Hehuan's body being carried out by several eunuchs.
"It's raining outside." She muttered.
The eunuch led by him was stunned for a moment, stopped, and was a little embarrassed: "The queen mother is not allowed to prepare a coffin for the Yan family, saying that it can be carried to the mass grave and burned." ”
"But she ......"
"Ah Nuan ......" Jin Xiangrong hugged Nuan Jin's shoulders and shook his head secretly, "Let's go." ”
"Yes." Several eunuchs did not dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly carried the corpse away.
Nuan Jin didn't retract her gaze until a few of them disappeared around the corner: "I don't know, she didn't get what she wanted." ”
"She is just asking for benevolence, with her identity, living in the palace must also be tormenting, this ending is what she asked for, and it can be regarded as a relief."
used to be the master of Jin Zun and Yu, who was favored by thousands of people, because the war fell to this, there was no family and no relatives, and he was under the fence, living in such a humiliating way, maybe death is really a relief for Yan Hehuan.
Nuan Jin wanted to cry, but when she closed her eyes, she was dry, she had an indescribable feeling in her heart, and she didn't know what would happen to her brother when she knew.
"Shall we go pick up the prince?"
Nuan Jin was a little scared: "If my brother knows......"
"Let's go, he is the crown prince, he grew up here, he knows these rules better than anyone else."
Nuan Jin was almost helped out by Jin Xiangrong, her face was pale, which made Jin Xiangrong even more worried: "Are you okay?" ”
Nuan Jin nodded.
"Your face is so ugly, if you ask the prince to see it later, what will he think?"
Nuan Jin adjusted her breathing: "I'm really scared." ”
"People are gone, and His Highness always has to face it."
"You're right......"
The prison door, which had been closed for more than a month, was finally opened, and a little eunuch walked in respectfully and knelt down in front of the prince: "The servant greets His Highness, Your Highness can go out." ”
The prince frowned and felt strange: "Go out? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Nuan Jin and Jin Xiangrong walked in, and the two of them smiled on their faces, and they greeted them even more when they saw them.
"Brother, we can finally go out."
The prince didn't see the slightest bit of joy, and held Nuan Jin's shoulders with his backhand: "Father is willing to let me go?" ”
Nuan Jin avoided the important and trivialized: "Because I begged bitterly with Xiangrong, my father promised you that you could go back to the East Palace first, and then investigate the matter thoroughly." ”
Nuan Jin's expression was a little unnatural, and the prince was shocked, and he crossed Nuan Jin to look at Jin Xiangrong: "What's the matter?" ”
Jin Xiangrong only smiled lightly when he heard this: "Your Highness, let's go out and talk, in short, my father allowed His Highness to go back to the East Palace first." ”
The prince's bad premonition became stronger and stronger, his mouth was a little dry, and even a thin sweat broke out on his forehead, he lowered his head and stared at Nuan Jin tightly, and his tone was a little hurried: "Is there something wrong with her?" ”
Nuan Jin struggled to maintain her composure: "Didn't she have an accident a long time ago?" ”
"Don't dumb me up! Nuan Jin, you know how important she is to me! ”
Nuan Jin opened his mouth, and wanted to continue to lie to him, but no matter what, he couldn't say anything anymore.
With tears in her eyes and a smile on her lips: "She was carried to a mass grave." ”
The prince was instantly struck by lightning, let go of the warm brocade in shock, and fell back a few steps uncontrollably.
"Dude!" Seeing this, Nuan Jin and Jin Xiangrong hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
The prince pushed their hands away and staggered out, stumbling at first, then his steps became faster and faster, and disappeared from their sight like a whirlwind.
The cell was quiet again, it was so dim that it was impossible to even see the other party's face, Jin Xiangrong sighed, looked at Nuan Jin's lost figure, and patted her shoulder pityingly: "Why are you suffering?" ”
Nuan Jin's face was expressionless, still looking at the direction where the prince disappeared in a daze: "I always think that if I don't see him this time, I will never see him again in this life......"
The prince is getting faster and faster, his body is like a sword shuttling in the majestic rain, his vision is blurred, he can't tell whether it is rain or tears, he can't help it in a panic, and desperately tells himself that "it's impossible, it's impossible, she just suffered some injuries, maybe it's a little serious, but by her side, there will always be a day of recovery."
The rain did not decrease but increased, there were almost no people on the official road, and occasionally there were palace people passing by in a hurry, and they saw a figure passing by quickly, and before they could see who they were, they had disappeared without a trace.
"What a hell of a day! How do you light a fire with such heavy rain? ”
"If you want me to dig a pit and bury it, why bother burning it?"
"You don't understand this, we Nanchen pay attention to entering the earth for safety, but the meaning of the top is naturally that she can't be allowed to live in peace, so he has to burn it, in order to break the bones and scatter ashes, and she will never be able to live forever."
Two little eunuchs, dressed in robes, braved the rain to place the body of Yan Hehuan on a wooden platform, surrounded by branches, so that they could be set on fire.
"What is this commit? Not only was he beaten into this ghost virtue, but he also had to be crushed and ashes scattered? ”
"Be quiet!" One of the little eunuchs made a silent gesture and looked around, then turned around and whispered, "It was said that she assassinated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and framed His Royal Highness, and was secretly disposed of by the Queen Mother." ”
"Why secret?"
"Hehe, this is a secret, I heard that this master is the sweetheart of our Highness, His Royal Highness wants to protect her, and the Queen Mother wants to kill her, so I did it quietly."
The little eunuch listened to it twice: "Such a weak woman, and she wants to assassinate Her Highness, this courage is big enough." ”
"Well, who says no, and I don't know what I hate."
"But brother, it's raining so hard right now, and the fire can't be lit, how can it be burned?"
The little eunuch frowned: "Yes, but there is an order from above, it must be burned immediately, in case of extraneous branches, it is better to build a shed to block the rain, burn it early, we can go back to the errand, such a heavy rain has been for so long, there is no goodbye to the cold." ”
"Done!"
The two of them did what they said, and set up stakes around the wooden platform, and found a huge tarpaulin to cover it, and replaced the branches around the corpse with dry ones that had not been wet from the rain.
Finally ready, both of them breathed a long sigh of relief.
"It's finally okay, it's really tiring."
"Not really! Girl, you go all the way, our brothers are also forced to be helpless, if you have a grudge or a grudge, don't come to us, there is a debtor who is wronged, you find a real creditor, and in the future, our brother will burn paper money for you. ”
"Yes, yes, there is a debtor! You're good all the way! ”
"Come on, light the fire!"
"Done!" The little eunuch lit a torch, fearing that it would be extinguished by the rain, and hurriedly lit it on the branches around the wooden frame.
The wind swept by in an instant, and before the little eunuch could see what was going on, he was kicked out by a huge force.
The torch also fell to the ground, and was instantly extinguished by the rain, causing a puff of white smoke to rise.
"Who!" The other eunuch thought that he was dazzled, and that it was Yan Hehuan's ghost, so he sat down on the ground in fright, and cowered to look at the visitor.
The prince's brocade clothes have been wet by the rain, sticky to his body, making people uncomfortable, he stood under the wooden frame, a little fierce, panting and looking at the person lying flat above, he didn't dare to lean forward.
The two little eunuchs also saw the person who was coming, and secretly said that something was wrong, so they hurriedly knelt down at the prince's feet.
"Your Highness, please forgive your sins, people can't be resurrected after death, let Miss Yan go."
The words that people can't be resurrected after death really frightened the prince, and he looked down at the two embarrassed little eunuchs for some unknown reasons, pointed to the corpse on the wooden platform and asked, "Who is that?" ”
The two little eunuchs looked at each other: "Yes, it's Miss Yanyu." ”
The prince thought he had misheard, and asked again, "Who?" ”
The two little eunuchs were almost scared to death, knelt there and swayed, and said again: "Yes, it's Miss Yanyu." ”
The prince turned his head stiffly, staring at the wooden frame in disbelief, he seemed to vaguely see a person lying there, and he took two steps forward, but he no longer had the courage to climb the wooden frame.
His heart trembled, and he didn't dare to face it, so he stood there lonely and desolate, not moving.
When Nuan Jin and Jin Xiangrong chased after them with an umbrella, what they saw was this scene, Nuan Jin came to the prince's side with tears: "Brother, you saw it, and you should have come to see her off for the last time, let her go." ”
"No...... It couldn't be her. Prince Mu Ne shook his head, looked at Nuan Jin with hope, pointed to the corpse on the wooden frame and smiled, "It can't be her, she promised me, she wanted to accompany me, she promised me." ”
"Brother......" Nuan Jin couldn't help crying, Jin Xiangrong wiped away the tears mixed with rain on her cheeks distressedly: "Your Highness, please mourn." ”
"Hongu said it wasn't her!" The prince suddenly became manic, and swept away the umbrella that Nuan Jin held for him, "I said it was not her!" With that, he jumped onto the wooden frame.
He looked at the corpse's face, but it was only a glance, and the prince's expression changed suddenly, his eyes cracked, and he shook and almost fell off the wooden frame.
"Dude!" Nuan Jin exclaimed, regardless of Jin Xiangrong's obstruction, he climbed onto the wooden frame with his hands and feet and supported the prince.
"How could it be, how could it be...... the prince was completely stunned, looking at the unrecognizable face stupidly, where could he still tell that it was his acacia?
"It's not her, this can't be her...... the prince suddenly reflexively grabbed Nuan Jin's shoulder, "said! It's not her, right, she must have been sent out of the palace by you, you just found a corpse and wanted me to die, right? She must still be alive, right? ”
"Brother, calm down...... This is her ...... It's Sister Hehuan, I, I watched her take poison with my own eyes. ”
"What?" The prince couldn't believe it, "You saw her with your own eyes?" Why don't you stop it? Why don't you stop it! ”
"Dude." Nuan Jin was shaken by the prince, only to feel that his stomach was turning upside down, and his blood was surging.
"Your Highness! Your Highness let go! Jin Xiangrong was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"Get out of here!" The prince had great strength, and slammed his palm at Jin Xiangrong, Nuan Jin was shocked, and flew over to block between the two.
"Ah Nuan!" Jin Xiangrong exclaimed, reflexively protected Nuan Jin, and the prince was reluctant to stop seeing this, standing there wakily panting.
"Brother......" Nuan Jin was shocked, looking at the prince's pale face.
The prince opened his eyes with great difficulty, and as soon as he took a step, a mouthful of thick blood spit out, and in the exclamations of Nuan Jin and Jin Xiangrong, he slipped softly.
