Chapter 341 [Face] (I)
Concubine Dong Shu came to act, but the eldest princess Xue Lingjun came to appease the Dakang delegation on the orders of the emperor, and as for Sun Weiyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he came to deal with all the aftermath, although it is too late to make up for the mistakes, but it is better to do it late than not to do it at all.
Concubine Dong Shu, Sun Weiyuan and Hu Xiaotian took a look at each other, said a few words of apology, and then Concubine Dong went to the inner garden to see her son.
Sun Weiyuan brought a lot of people over and was responsible for arranging Princess Anping's death.
After everyone left, the eldest princess Xue Lingjun's gaze fell on Hu Xiaotian's sad face, and she sighed softly and said: "Brother Xiaotian, I came this time with a message from His Majesty, and His Majesty asked me to apologize for him, Princess Anping's matter is not what Dayong wants, and we don't want such a thing to happen, Your Majesty will reassure you that Dayong will definitely find the murderer in the shortest possible time and severely punish all those involved in this matter." ”
Hu Xiaotian said indifferently: "The princess is already dead, even if all the people involved in the case are killed, my princess will not be resurrected." ”
The eldest princess Xue Lingjun bit her cherry lip and said: "Brother Xiaotian, I can understand your mood at the moment, if you have any thoughts and requirements, just say it to me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best." In fact, her imperial brother Xue Shengkang also meant this, and was ready to make some compensation to the Dakang delegation in this matter, and also needed to give a specific explanation to Dakang. Although Xue Shengkang has long had the ambition to annex Dakang, before he took action, there were some face-saving things that still had to be done, and in front of the people of the world, they didn't want to lose their courtesy.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I just want to take the remains of the princess and return to Dakang as much as possible, so that she can return to her hometown, which is the only thing I can do now." ”
Xue Lingjun said: "Brother Xiaotian, we deeply regret the matter of the princess. In our hearts, why don't we treat the princess as our family, and if something happens to her, we are as sad as you. His Majesty has a request, hoping that the brother will leave a few days later, and when the princess has passed the first seven, you will return to Dakang with her remains. "According to folk customs. It is believed that after death, the soul will wander around with the first seven days, and when the first seven days of the day go home, the family should burn a ladder-shaped object at home, so that the soul can follow the ladder to the sky.
Hu Xiaotian understood that the reason why Xue Lingjun proposed such a retention was probably the need of Da Yongzheng, and they could use this time to work hard to exceed, for Princess Anping's soul, on the other hand, it was equivalent to compensation for Princess Anping's assassination in Yongdu.
Xue Lingjun saw Hu Xiaotian's hesitant expression, and she said softly: "Your Majesty intends to come to Qichen Palace in person on the first seven days to offer condolences. Give Princess Anping a ride. ”
Having said this, Hu Xiaotian can't help refusing, if Emperor Dayong is willing to come in person, it is equivalent to giving Dakang enough face, although Princess Anping is Princess Dakang, but for Dakang, her life is insignificant at all, and she will never turn against Dayong because of the assassination of Princess Anping, with the current situation of Dakang. It also lacks that kind of confidence. Hu Xiaotian can conclude that in the past seven days, Dayong will definitely make grand arrangements for Princess Anping's death. Give Zu Dakang face, if he refuses, he is making an assertion, and it seems that it is impossible to leave Yongdu immediately.
Thinking of this, Hu Xiaotian said to Xue Lingjun: "Thanks to the emperor's love for the princess so much, the matter has come to this point." Xiaotian could only accept it. ”
Xue Lingjun saw that he finally spit out and agreed, and his face showed a look of relief: "Brother Xiaotian can also take advantage of these days to take a good rest." ”
Hu Xiaotian smiled bitterly: "The princess's bones are not cold, how dare Xiaotian be delusional." He said in a low voice: "Sister Jun, Xiaotian still has a reluctant request." ”
Xue Lingjun said: "You say yes." ”
Hu Xiaotian meant to cremate Princess Anping's body on the spot, originally wanting to return to Dakang with Princess Anping's body. But now it's all broken into meat sauce, and I can't rush back with a bag of minced meat.
Xue Lingjun said: "Actually, I mean the same thing, don't worry, I'll arrange this matter." ”
Concubine Dong Shufei didn't understand why her son was so sad, she thought that her son was just acting in front of people, but when she saw Xue Daoming's appearance, her face became haggard overnight, her eyes were red, and the grief in her eyes couldn't be disguised no matter what.
Xue Daoming said: "Mother, the child plans to stay in Qichen Palace for the next few days. ”
"What?" Concubine Dong could barely believe her ears.
Xue Daoming said: "Although Xijun did not marry me, after all, we have made a marriage contract, and the children should be treated as if they were deceased wives." ”
Concubine Dong Shufei looked around, convinced that no one was present, so she reached out and touched his forehead, and exclaimed, "Isn't your kid a magic barrier?" ”
Xue Daoming said: "Mother, the child has made up his mind!" ”
Concubine Dong Shufei lowered her voice and said: "It's nothing more than making a show to block other people's tongues, why do you bother yourself?" ”
Xue Daoming pursed his lips and said, "Mother, when the child said goodbye to Xijun, I suddenly found that I had met her in a dream...... Speaking of this, tears flashed in his eyes, obviously moved by his true feelings.
Concubine Dong Shucai didn't believe in such a ridiculous thing, if she could know in advance that her son would miss her after seeing Princess Anping, she wouldn't let him come over to act and see her for the last time. Concubine Dong Shufei reminded him: "Daoming, you and her have never met before, so it is impossible for you to have any feelings, and the reason why you are so sad now is nothing more than because of your sympathy." Concubine Dong secretly thought that her son might be guilty of Long Xiyue's death, but in fact, she was the same, although she opposed the marriage, it was not out of disgust with Long Xiyue, Long Xiyue ended so miserably, even Concubine Dong felt a little sad in her heart, and even felt a little guilty.
Xue Daoming said: "Mother, if I had come to see her earlier, maybe Xiyue would not have died." ”
Concubine Dong Shufei was really a little scared, she reached out and grabbed her son's shoulders and said: "Daoming, you have to be sober, her death has nothing to do with us, some things are destined by God, and we can't change them." ”
Xue Daoming shook his head gloomily and said, "Mother, go back." ”
Concubine Dong Shufei said in a trembling voice: "You kid, how can you be so depressed, have you forgotten your ambition?" How can you indulge in the love of children! ”
Xue Daoming looked at the cold jade coffin and said, "Mother, you let me calm down." Children do not forget their own ambitions and responsibilities. ”
When Concubine Dong Shufei saw her son's appearance, she was anxious and worried, but she didn't dare to say more, so she could only persuade her son after his feelings calmed down.
Hu Xiaotian now finally understands what it means that a plan is not as good as a change, although he can't wait to slap his ass and leave now, but the reality makes him have to stay for a few more days.
Zhou Mo heard that he would have to stay in Yongdu for seven days before he could leave. There is also a bit of a headache, what really gives him a headache is the demon girl Xiyan, the disturbance in the Hongshan Hall last night may be just the beginning, it is difficult to say that she will not take other actions.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Big brother, I want you and the bear child to go first." ”
Zhou Mo was stunned for a moment: "Why?" ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "You also saw what happened last night, I'm worried that something will happen, so I want my eldest brother to rush to Hailing County first." ”
Zhou Mo understood what Hu Xiaotian meant, and Hu Xiaotian was most at ease in his heart, but Long Xiyue had already been waiting in Hailing County. And Zhanpeng and Gao Yuan are both by her side to protect, there shouldn't be any mistakes: "If we leave, there will be no one around you to take care of it." ”
Hu Xiaotian smiled indifferently: "The princess is already dead, who cares about my marriage history?" What's more, Dayong has lost his manners in a row, and he will definitely try his best to compensate, and the eldest brother doesn't have to worry about my safety. ”
Zhou Mo said: "Are you worried that the demon girl will attack us to coerce you to help her do things?" ”
Hu Xiaotian raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. Although Xiyan does things unscrupulously, she never seems to have really harmed herself. Even if he encountered some dangers last night, it was because he didn't listen to her prior advice and ventured deep into the palace, Hu Xiaotian said in a low voice: "Don't worry, big brother, I have my own way to deal with her." ”
Zhou Mo looked at Hu Xiaotian, but his face was full of suspicion. He didn't doubt Hu Xiaotian's wisdom. I just suspect Hu Xiaotian's words, since the demon girl pretended to be Princess Anping and mixed into the marriage mission, Hu Xiaotian and her should have had countless confrontations openly and secretly, but it seems that his brother did not take any advantage.
Hu Xiaotian had already guessed what he was thinking from the suspicion on Zhou Mo's face, and said with a slight smile: "Although the eldest brother's martial arts are better than mine. But I want to be a little better than you in this regard, there is no need to distinguish between men and women, if you are serious with women, then you will definitely lose. ”
Zhou Mo blinked his eyes a little confused and said, "Good men don't fight with women? ”
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "It's a little interesting, the more competitive a woman is, the more don't worry about her, she can take advantage of the small advantages, let her think that she will eat you, and there will always be a time when she will suffer a big loss." ”
Zhou Mo's mouth opened widely: "Third brother, you seem to be very good." ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "So-so, if the eldest brother has emotional troubles in the future, just look for me, the brother is not talented, and you can also answer questions for the eldest brother." ”
Zhou Mo lowered his voice and said, "You ...... with that demon girl"
Hu Xiaotian frowned and said, "Gossip, I said when did you become so gossipy?" My personal emotional issues are my privacy. ”
Zhou Mo shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't forget, there are still people waiting for you." The person he was talking about was naturally Princess Anping Long Xiyue, Zhou Mo witnessed Long Xiyue's deep love for Hu Xiaotian, and in his heart he already regarded Long Xiyue and Hu Xiaotian as a pair, reminding Hu Xiaotian that of course there was another deep meaning in this matter, he was worried that Hu Xiaotian would be charmed by the demon girl Xiyan. In his opinion, in terms of character and appearance, none of Xiyan can be compared with Long Xiyue. What's more, this Xiyan is the saintess of the Five Immortals Sect, if she really can't get along with Hu Xiaotian, there will be trouble in the future.
There is only one monthly pass left to fifty, and when it reaches fifty, it is the breaking point, so the third is bound to break out, so the octopus decided to explode first, and there is still one ticket missing, I believe that my brothers and sisters will inevitably make it up to me, don't let everyone stay up late, I'll change it first, and the monthly pass will make it up to me, okay? (To be continued......)
