Sun Rouning said gradually: "Don't talk about it, let's go to the Prince's Mansion first." If it's late, it's not good to lose your manners. ”

In this way, there was no more words, and the colleagues got into their respective carriages and went all the way to the prince's mansion.

Along the way, there were constantly carriages moving with them, all in the direction of the prince's mansion, and it seemed that all the families had received information and went to the funeral. In fact, it is also very easy to identify, because all the car pride of Yiying is plain. When I arrived at the Prince's Mansion, starting from the gate, the fan was wide open, the filial piety shed and the building card had already been established in the village, and the little servants were wearing filial piety clothes, and they were busy in and out.

When they saw the carriage of Yanwang's mansion, they immediately came up with an errand, and called the mother who attracted the guests to take them to the inner courtyard. Before entering the courtyard, Qiao Siwan heard the cry of the sky and the ground.

"You're here!" They were welcomed by Lin Yuanxin.

Qiao Siwan nodded and explained to her Concubine Dong and the princess.

The colleagues saluted, and Lin Yuanxin said lightly: "The eunuch who sent the decree just left, saying that His Majesty got the information, and personally told Mi: Shuxiao and forgiveness, and the cabinet scholars performed the funeral ceremony for the crown princess, and ordered the head of the internal government to lead fifty personal soldiers to wear filial piety for the princess. ”

Qiao Siwan heard this and nodded, Jiang Qinwu was really a kind emperor, and the death of the crown princess with such a funeral ceremony was once a great gift.

Lin Yuanxin personally led them into the inner room.

Zhou Zhijun slept on the Huanghuali Wood Arhat bed, wearing the crown of the crown princess, wearing a red robe, with a clean expression and a supple look, as if she was asleep. She lit a lantern on her head, Mrs. Zhou and the doctor had already arrived, the doctor was so sad that the whole person cried and fell into ruin. There was a beautiful young woman standing next to her, dressed in plain clothes, and she was holding a three or four-year-old girl in her hand, who seemed to be Zhou Zhijun's daughter.

Old Taijun Zhou watched Lin Yuanxin enter with people, and a hint of ridicule appeared on her lips, but she either stood up and welcomed: "Concubine Dong." ”

"The old lady is not polite, I will send the princess." Concubine Dong hurriedly supported her, her face seemed to be sad, and she patted Mrs. Zhou's hand with pity.

"Old lady, you want to mourn." Sun Rouning said softly, "The deceased has passed away, and your body and bones are the main thing!" ”

The corners of Mrs. Zhou's mouth were slightly twitched, and tears rolled down again.

Yahuan on the side said with tears in her eyes: "Old lady, you have been crying continuously since you got the letter...... But you have to be well-thought-out. ”

Colleagues also comforted Mrs. Zhou with a lot of words, and she sighed again and again: "It's my granddaughter who is not blessed-" She said while looking at Lin Yuanxin thoughtfully, but Lin Yuanxin lowered her head and ignored it.

When the doctor heard this, he cried even more. While crying, he also sobbed: "What is not blessed, my daughter is the crown princess, those who persecute her without the heart will inevitably be retributed by God!" ”

I don't know why, everyone looked at Lin Yuanxin, looking at each other with a smile, or thoughtful, or stunned...... The air in the house suddenly became a little eerie. Concubine Dong's expression was also very surprised, looking at Dr. Zhou's grief-stricken appearance, she didn't speak for a long time.

Now, a trace of embarrassment crossed Lin Yuanxin's face, Qiao Siwan frowned, the crown princess was suddenly killed, and it was Lin Wenyuan's hand again, it seems that others will be more or less in contact with Lin Yuanxin, Dr. Zhou's words are quite meaningful, and he said this at this time......

Fortunately, the mother on the side was very clever, and when she saw that the air was wrong, she immediately said: "Everyone, go and sit inside, don't disturb the leisure of the crown princess." ”

Concubine Dong nodded first, comforted Mrs. Zhou a few words, and then took Qiao Siwan and Sun Rouning out of the inner room.

In the flower hall, there have already been many guests who have come to miss them.

Concubine Dong asked Lin Yuanxin carefully all the way: "Stop for a few days?" What day is the mourning? Has Qin Tianjian chosen a date? "There are not enough people, and there is anything else that needs to be added or reduced?" "If you need any assistance, you can come to Yanwang's Mansion at any time."

Lin Yuanxin replied in an orderly manner: "Because the weather is hot, it will be suspended for seven seven and forty-nine days, and now there are many ten days." The day of the funeral still has to wait, and His Majesty's will is that all civil and military officials will come to remember, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has entrusted him to set up a noble water mat in the courtyard and flower garden, and all the manpower and objects are planned, so there should be no problem. ”

When the guests in the flower hall saw Concubine Dong enter the door, they all stood up and saluted, and the smiles on their faces were warm and affectionate.

Qiao Siwan couldn't help but be quietly frightened, Concubine Dong's identity was far less than that of the noble eldest princess, but it was very distinct, more respected than the noble royal princess, the concubine of Yanwangfu, who was not of high background and rarely went out.

The thought flashed, and she heard someone sigh: "The crown princess is young, beautiful and talented, sorry for ......"

It's a pity that I didn't become the queen of the Great Calendar Dynasty and died like this! Qiao Siwan's heart took the initiative to make up for this sentence.

Because she was one step ahead, Qiao Siwan didn't see what sacrifice Concubine Dong had planned, and when she arrived with her things and handed over the gift list, she found that it contained pig and sheep sacrifices, gold and silver mountains, satin silk and colored silk, and dark paper candle incense, which were a hundred lifts. Qiao Siwan saw the gift list, and couldn't help but be surprised, from the time the princess reported the funeral to the present, all the things were planned properly, both the scenery and the face were in line with the identity, just such a technique, she was far away, it seems that this Concubine Dong is impossible to underestimate seriously.

At this time, I heard someone shouting outside, Your Majesty has a will.

Qiao Siwan was stunned for a moment, glanced at Lin Yuanxin, followed everyone out of the flower hall, and knelt down to receive the order.

The eunuch who announced the decree said: "Your Majesty has an order, and he will be in Beijing for ten days, and then he will be dressed for 100 days, and he will be served for three days in foreign civil and military affairs." Military and civilian uniforms for three days. Slaughter was banned in the capital for 49 days, and slaughter outside was banned for 3 days. ”

Everyone thanked them, and then they stood up one after another, and announced that the eunuch said to Lin Yuanxin: "Concubine Lin, Your Majesty was very sad when he heard about this incident, and ordered our family to tell you, although it is just when the national industry is waiting to be revived, the murder of the crown princess is not suitable for big plans, His Royal Highness the prince personally went to the palace to ask for grace for her, and His Majesty decided to come according to the etiquette of the state funeral. ”

When Qiao Siwan heard this, her eyes couldn't help but condense slightly, it was the prince who went to ask for this second will...... She smiled slightly, this person is really good at acting. No matter who did Zhou Zhijun's death after all, it has nothing to do with him Jiang Yan, but he can do it so grandly, as if he is deeply in love, which is really ironic.

"Yes, please tell Your Majesty father-in-law, I will definitely recuperate." Lin Yuanxin said.

Seeing off the eunuch who announced the decree, Qiao Siwan whispered to the maid next to her: "Concubine Lin herself is still pregnant, you have to watch more, don't let her be too tired." ”

"Yes."

At this time, a maid came to report: "Princess Jun, the eldest princess has come, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is accompaniing, please come over." ”

Qiao Siwan and Lin Yuanxin looked surprised and glanced at each other. Lin Yuanxin nodded lightly to Qiao Siwan, indicating that she was not worried.

Qiao Siwan smiled slightly, said to Concubine Dong, and said goodbye to the girl. They walked all the way to the small hall where Jiang Yan was meeting with the nervous guests.

The eldest princess was really sitting in the small hall, but her face was not very good, and Jiang Yan on the side was also as pale as water, with a cold face, although Qiao Siwan didn't know what they were talking about, but it was also conceivable that the conversation was not very pleasant.

Catching a glimpse of Qiao Siwan entering, the eldest princess immediately stopped talking, just stood up and said, "Wan'er, you came just in time, I heard that Concubine Dong also came, really?" ”

"Yes, Concubine Dong is in the small flower hall in the backyard." Qiao Siwan replied with a slight smile, "Mrs. Shicai also mentioned mother, I said that you will be there at once." ”

"Well, you can come with me to have a look." The eldest princess stood up and glanced at Jiang Yan, "Let's be here today, now that you have so many people in your apartment, I'll talk about that later." ”

Jiang Yan listened, nodded, but looked at Qiao Siwan and said, "Auntie, please allow me to say a few words to Yong'an." ”

The eldest princess turned her head suddenly, and glanced at Jiang Yan coldly, that look was like looking at a madman, Qiao Siwan lowered her eyes and hid the ridicule in her eyes, she will always come, Jiang Yan's character, she will not give up if she doesn't get it.

The eldest princess slowly exhaled: "Wan'er, I'm waiting for you inside, don't wait too long." ”

"Yes."

Watching the eldest princess walk out, Qiao Siwan adjusted her breathing anew.

"Your Highness......" She turned her head to look at Jiang Yan, her eyelashes fluttered a few times, and after a while, she remembered something, so she saluted.

The expression on Jiang Yan's face was much more pleasant, and he reached out and grabbed her hand tightly without hesitation.

"No politeness." His voice was very depressed, "When you got off the bus at the door, so many women stood together, and I may have seen you for the first time." ”

Qiao Siwan's face did not show any trace of disobedience, on the contrary, her shallow smile had a hint of pretty, because she was attending a funeral, the white tassel hanging on her head trembled in her ears, and her eyes and smile were clear. Just looking at her, the strength in Jiang Yan's hand couldn't help but intensify, almost crushing her shoulders inch by inch.

Qiao Siwan sensed the heaviness on her shoulders, the corners of her mouth curved, and suddenly she felt something soft and touched her cheeks. She raised her eyebrows, Jiang Yan had already withdrawn, the touch was still there, she went from surprise to surprise, her mind turned a few times, and she looked at him with her pupils, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, if you choose this time, you are not afraid that the crown princess will have a spirit in the sky and die at ease." ”

Jiang Yan stared at her and asked with a smile, "What, have you guessed everything?" ”

Qiao Siwan's answer was not what she asked: "Although my second uncle is ruthless and ruthless, he is not a stupid person. He killed the crown prince in public, but he killed the crown princess by mistake, he couldn't do it. ”

Jiang Yan smiled lightly: "You haven't questioned your cousin?" As soon as Zhou Zhijun dies, she will probably become the second crown princess, isn't it? What's more, she hated Lin Wenyuan so much, then her father-killing enemy almost killed her brother, and she killed the crown princess with his hand, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Qiao Siwan didn't even raise her eyebrows, and said casually: "Cousin won't." She spoke confusedly, not that Lin Yuanxin wouldn't do this, but that Lin Yuanxin wouldn't hide it from herself if she did it.

Jiang Yan said sharply: "Okay, then report to you." Yes, I did everything. ”

Qiao Siwan didn't expect him to admit it so pleasantly, and suddenly blinked, and her expression was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Yan said lightly: "Qiao Siwan, that day of hunting, do you remember what you said?" ”

Qiao Siwan looked at him, didn't speak for a while, and said for a long time: "What did I say?" ”

Jiang Yan said: "You said, if I want your understanding, I will give you Zhou Zhijun's heart, remember." ”

Hearing this, Qiao Siwan's face was flushed with demonic flushes for a moment, and a pair of clear eyes seemed to be an indescribable abyss, and the mist was thick: "Your Highness, you won't kill the crown princess for my words, right?" ”
