Chapter Seventy-Five: Procrastination
Korean post house
Shen Enlai came all the way to the front of the Korean courtyard accompanied by Wan Nuheqi, at this time the Korean courtyard had hung up white lanterns, and it was cold outside, but there was a burst of sluggish sound in the courtyard, the sound was not loud, and it came out intermittently, if it weren't for Shen Enlai standing at the gate of the courtyard for a while, he would have mistaken it for a mistake.
There was a hint of embarrassment on the faces of the Korean guards standing outside the courtyard gate, and they obviously recognized Nukhqi and saluted him.
"I don't know if the second prince is visiting late at night, please wait for a while and wait for the little marquis."
Perhaps because of Shen Enlai's presence, Mu Dejian walked in the hall to greet them, and his eyes were on Shen Enlai from the beginning.
This kind of look was different from the gaze of Ihanjun and Wannuheqi, which made Shen Enlai feel uncomfortable. In addition to temptation, there is contempt and unconcealment in such eyes. When Shen Enlai came in, he clearly saw the kiss mark faintly visible under Mu Dejian's neck.
Ihanjun's bones are not cold, and Mudder Jianbu is acting so debauched in this post house, I am afraid that there is not much affection between Ihanjun and him, and Ihanjun's status in South Korea is probably not too big. Even if it is a prince, if he is dead, he is dead. King Han has a second and third ...... The son is waiting to succeed to the throne, and for Yi Hanjun, dying in the country of Lu and gaining some benefits for Korea can be regarded as his well-deserved death. As a prince, he was born to enjoy the glory and wealth that most commoners could not achieve in their lifetime, and at the same time, they also had to pay a greater price.
Regarding Yi Hanjun's death, Shen Enlai suddenly lamented a little. Even if you are as expensive as a prince, no, like her, you can't make your own life choices or even your life.
"The second prince came to visit late at night, I don't know what to do?" Mulder asked Wannukhzi with a brisk step.
Wannuheqi smiled politely at Mu Dejian, and pointed to Shen Enlai who was beside him, "Miss Shen has something to visit, I'm just helping to bring her over." ”
As soon as Nuheqi's words fell, Mu De walked and returned his gaze to Shen Enlai's face.
"Little Marquis, I came here this time because I really have something to ask for. The Twelve Princes have passed away, and Xu Xi is really my classmate and friend, and I can't bear to see her go to a foreign country. I wonder if there is room for turning around in this matter? ”
"Nope. Your Majesty has decreed that this matter will never be possible unless Your Majesty changes his words. "Mulder thought it was something, and he made a fuss for a long time. He refused, leaving no room for turn. King Han has already negotiated with Emperor Wen Wen on this matter, and the alliance between the two countries is still counted on the surface, and this is the result of Emperor Wen Wen's patience and conceit. It's a deal between the kings of the two countries, and who has the means to change it? Besides, how could Mu Dejian help Xu Xi intercede.
Wan Nuheqi nodded slightly at Mu Dejian, thanking him, and then said to Shen Enlai, "Miss Shen, since this is the case, we can't be strong anymore." I'll send you back. ”
Shen Enlai avoided the figure of Nuheqi walking towards her, and she leaned forward, "The Twelve Princes also had a good relationship with me when he was here, and I am also very sad that he died suddenly. I wonder if you can let me burn a stick of incense and say goodbye to the Twelve Princes? ”
Shen Enlai felt that his expression on his face was already very sincere, and Mu Dejian on the other side was obviously a little impatient. He waved his hand and was about to refuse, but when he saw Wan Nuheqi behind Shen Enlai, he swallowed his words hard. A face looked a little aggrieved.
"Hurry up, it's late." Mulder walked as gently as he could.
Shen Enlai nodded, and then smiled at Wannuheqi behind him. She knew very well that with her identity, Mu Dejian didn't have to waste time talking to her at all, let alone incense, and whether she could enter the Korean post house was a problem. And all of this is because of Wan Nuheqi, Muder Jianbu is not afraid of her, but for Wan Nukhqi, there is always some courtesy.
Zhao Guo and South Korea are more bound than she imagined.
Mulder walked unaccompanied, and after calling two guards, he went back to the courtyard room.
Yi Hanjun's coffin is located in the side hall of the lobby, and in the square room, a large coffin is placed in the center, which is very magnificent. It is heard that after the coffin of Ihanjun is transported back to Korea, King Han will also hold a grand memorial ceremony for him.
If you don't treat it well in life, why do you need more forms after death? Shen Enlai smiled in his heart. People are always so superficial, and no one knows what kind of heart is hidden under the skin. But on the face, it must be flawless.
Although Shen Enlai came with a purpose, the incense at this moment is also sincere. She bowed to the coffin.
I wanted to say that if there is an afterlife, let Yihan Jun be born in an ordinary family. But after thinking about it, maybe people didn't dislike the ruthlessness of this imperial family, after all, the temptation of power is difficult to stop.
Shen Enlai had to put his mind at ease, only wishing that his wish would come true and be a good person in the next life.
"It's a good piece of wood." After the incense, Shen Enlai didn't leave, she got up suddenly, and walked towards the spirit coffin.
"Bold!" The guards stepped forward to stop her, and the sharp knives were unsheathed at the same time.
"Just see, don't be so alarmed." Shen Enlai shrugged his shoulders a little skinlessly. And the guard who drew the sword still looked at Shen Enlai with a dark and calm face, and did not relax.
Wan Nuheqi suddenly approached Shen Enlai at this time, and his face sank, "Miss Shen, I think it's better for you not to do anything." ”
After Nuheqi's words, Shen Enlai paused slightly, he had just seen her movements? It's good to see it, but I'm afraid he won't see it.
Shen Enlai grinned at him and smiled sweetly: "Second prince, where is this." I'm just thinking about whether to give the Twelve Princes a gift. ”
As soon as Shen Enlai's words fell, suddenly fireflies flew out of the mourning hall. The yellow-green light instantly compared the fiery red lamp, one red and one green, but it made the mourning hall look deserted and had a few different kinds of beauty.
Everyone present was a little shocked for a while, they didn't know where Shen Enlai got so many fireflies, this was winter, it stands to reason that fireflies shouldn't have appeared.
"Since you are here to say goodbye, you naturally have to prepare a farewell gift with ingenuity." Shen Enlai's voice sounded, and there was a trace of undisguised pleasure in this voice.
The guards didn't understand the situation, and they swung their long knives to knock the flying fireflies to the ground. Shen Enlai looked at this scene silently, but the smile on the corner of his mouth did not fall.
At this moment, a fire suddenly broke out around the coffin, and the fire suddenly broke out without a single warning. Once the coffin is burned, no one can bear this sin. The two guards panicked instantly, and one of the guards immediately took off his robe and threw out the fire on the ground, but after a circle, the fire seemed to rise from the ground, just extinguished here, and suddenly rose up again. A guard rushed out, looking at the posture, it should be a search for someone to rescue.
"What are you sprinkling in the mourning hall?" Wan Nuheqi grabbed Shen Enlai's arm and dragged her back. At this moment, he changed his usual elegance and gentleness, and his face was a little angry.
"I didn't spill anything." Shen Enlai looked at the past.
At the moment when the two confronted each other, dozens of guards had already poured into the mourning hall, and the buckets of cold water that followed completely extinguished any flames that might ignite in the mourning hall.
Wannuheqi looked at the coffin safe and sound, and then let go of Shen Enlai's hand.
Note that most people can't sleep soundly this night.
Shen Enlai was almost "invited" out of the mourning hall. But her purpose was accomplished.
She thought that Nan Huaijin and the others should have successfully entered the post house. And she is that target. Everyone guessed that the purpose of her coming must have something to do with Ihanjun, so she used it to gather everyone's attention. Give Nan Huaijin more opportunities for them.
She sprinkled phosphorus powder, an extremely flammable substance, around the mourning hall. But the time is not strong, it is winter now, even phosphorus powder is not easy to ignite, and she can't blatantly light the fire, she can only change the way. With fireflies.
She remembered her brother telling her when she was a child that the glow of a firefly was caused by something inside itself. It doesn't rely on heat. But the energy of everything in the world is constant. While fireflies emit light, they also release a certain amount of heat, which may cause spontaneous combustion of phosphorus powder. Shen Enlai just tried it, but he didn't expect it to really work.
She guessed that the soldiers would shoot down the fireflies, and that helped her use the fireflies and the phosphorus powder on the ground. When a soldier extinguishes a fire, the violent blow will also increase the surrounding temperature to a certain extent, and the phosphorus powder that has not been able to meet the fireflies will naturally burn at such a temperature. Therefore, the fire in the mourning hall seems to have stopped in one place and suddenly occurred in another, and the gods and ghosts said that it was just a strategy for her.
In order to continue to delay, she did not go directly out of the post house, she knew that as long as she was in the post house, everyone's attention would be greatly focused on her. If you can drag it for a moment, it will be a moment.
She has done this, and the rest will be handed over to Nan Huaijin and them.
