"Xiao Yiyi, how are you feeling?" Meng Li pulled Mu Yunyi's arm to check her pulse.

Seeing Meng Li talking about him like this, Mu Yunyi pushed his hand away and said loudly, "Tell me, where is Mu Xiu?" With that, he gasped breathlessly.

"Mu Xiu He ......"

At this time, Rong Yue pushed the door in and said, "Mu Xiu's body has been put into the coffin......"

Meng Li and Bi Ying were shocked, and hurriedly glanced at Rong Yue, but it was too late.

"What did you say?" Mu Yunyi stared at Rong Yue, her eyes like stagnant water in a quagmire.

"Xiaoyi, are you awake......" Rong Yue was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Mu Yunyi rolled over and got out of bed, kneeling on the ground under her legs, "Who said he was dead, who allowed him to enter the coffin?!" ”

"Xiao Yiyi, you still have injuries on your legs and can't move!" Meng Li and Bi Ying helped Mu Yunyi up.

Mu Yunyi pushed them away, "Go away!" I'm going to see him! ”

"Okay, I'll go with you." Rong Yue held up the oil umbrella and followed Mu Yunyi closely.

Mu Xiu was not a member of the main family of Prince Shun's mansion, and he was originally not allowed to hold a funeral in the palace, but even so, the princess still set up a mourning hall for him in the side hall.

Rong Yue and Mu Yunyi came to the outside of the mourning hall and stopped, she didn't go in, and gave a look to the servants inside to signal them to retreat.

Mu Yunyi stumbled into it alone, the coffin had not yet been covered, she came to the head of the coffin, her hands trembled and uncovered the burial cloth covering the body, and then saw the face of the unrecognizable "Mu Xiu" again, but she was surprisingly calm at the moment.

Outside the mourning hall, Bi Ying also rushed over, quietly looked at Mu Yunyi inside, she clenched her handkerchief worriedly and said, "Miss Rong, will the master be okay inside?" ”

Rong Yue patted Bi Ying's back, "Let her talk to Mu Xiu for the last time." ”

In the evening, the rain finally stopped, and the sun set, leaving only the last trace of afterglow to dye everything red, as if trying to prove that all the gloom was over.

However, Mu Yunyi's heart fell heavier and heavier in this golden dust, because she clearly knew that no matter how beautiful Yan Red was, it would be the remnant sun after all, and sooner or later it would fall under the mountain, replaced by endless darkness.

Mu Yunyi leaned on the coffin, closed her eyes, and leaned into the ear of "Mu Xiu" and said: "You said it yourself, you want to guard me and protect me forever, why did you break your promise now?" ”

In this way, Mu Yunyi guarded Mu Xiu in the mourning hall, day and night, without a drop of water. Until two days later, when she was buried at the funeral, she accompanied "him" all night in front of Mu Xiu's tomb, and after a long, long time, Mu Yunyi still clearly remembered the moonlight sprinkled on Mu Xiu's stele that night, which was as cold as frost.

The princess was really distressed when she saw Mu Yunyi like this, so she had to let Rong Yue knock her unconscious, and then she was brought back to the palace.

Bi Ying and the others took turns to guard outside Mu Yunyi's door, and the next afternoon, there was some movement in the room.

Rong Yue quietly opened the door and walked in, lifting the closed curtain in the inner room, only to see Mu Yunyi curled up in the corner of the bed.

After knowing Mu Yunyi for so many years, Rong Yue had never seen her so helpless and vulnerable, Rong Yue couldn't help but feel distressed, and reached out to hold her hand, but at the moment of touch, Mu Yunyi's body trembled sensitively, and retracted her cold hand like an electric shock.

Rong Yue didn't continue to move, just sat by the window, silently guarding her.

After being silent for an unknown amount of time, Mu Yunyi finally spoke: "Will he be lonely, there." ”

"No, you know him best, you don't like to be noisy, the hill in the north of the city is the quietest, next winter, the mountain will be full of red plums, he will definitely like it."

Rong Yue looked at Mu Yunyi with no emotion when she closed her eyes, or at this moment she was missing Mu Xiu's deep eyes, perhaps imagining the clusters of red plums blooming in front of his tombstone in the cold winter.

"Being able to protect you at the last moment of his life, looking at you, for Mu Xiu, is the greatest satisfaction and happiness, if he has a spirit in the sky, he must not want to see you torture himself like this, Xiao Yi, you have to cheer up in order to avenge Mu Xiu, right?"

Mu Yunyi slowly opened her eyes and said to Rong Yue, "Let them prepare something to eat." ”

Rong Yue was overjoyed when she heard this, for several days, she had not eaten a grain of rice or a drop of water, and everyone was worried, but no one could persuade her.

"Okay, the food is ready-made, I'll go and ask Biying and the others to help you heat it up." With that, Rong Yue hurriedly walked out of the house.

After a while, Mu Yunyi also got off the ground, "squeak......" She pushed open the door, and the bright light that suddenly rose outside pierced her eyes a little uncomfortable, she was busy covering her eyes with her hands, but a tear still oozed from the corner of her eye.

She slowly adjusted to the light outside, gently brushing away the tears from her face.

Mu Xiu, I promise you, I will protect myself well and live well.

For I will avenge you.

After using some clear porridge, Mu Yunyi came to the courtyard where Mu Xiu lived.

Walking into the study, according to what Mu Xiu said that day, she squatted down and went down the bottom layer of the bookshelf, and pulled out the seventh book from the right, and then knocked on the wall behind the book, and sure enough, it was loose, so she carefully pulled out a small wall tile and took out the two letters hidden inside.

That's right, the letters left by Mu Ting are two.

She opened one of them, although Mu Xiu had already roughly told Mu Yunyi about the content in her heart that day, but now that she saw her father's familiar handwriting, Mu Yunyi couldn't help but tremble when she held the letter's hand.

At night, Mu Yunyi called Rong Yue to the room.

"Ah Yue, do me a favor."

"You say yes."

Mu Yunyi handed Rong Yue one of the letters left by his father, "Help me send this to the hands of Emperor Dongzhao Dongling Xun." ”

"What, Emperor Dongzhao? This is ......" Rong Yue stared at the letter for a long time and didn't take it, and then looked at Mu Yunyi inquiringly: "What are you going to do?" ”

"This is the only bargaining chip for me to defend Prince Shun's mansion and avenge Mu Xiu." Mu Yunyi stuffed the letter into Rong Yue's hand, "Ah Yue, I don't feel comfortable handing over this letter to anyone, only you." ”

Rong Yue took the letter, but she didn't want to open it, but said firmly: "Okay, no matter what, I will hand this letter to Emperor Dongzhao intact." ”

"Well, if it is difficult to enter the palace, go to ......" Mu Yunyi sighed, she originally didn't want to trouble that person in her life, but now she has no other way, in order to take revenge, she can't care so much, and finally said: "I went to Su Yan for help, and said that I asked him for help." ”

"I'll leave now, and you should be careful in the West Dome." With that, Rong Yue put the letter on her chest and turned to leave.

Mu Yunyi looked at Rong Yue's back as she disappeared into the night, and whispered, "Thank you, Ah Yue." ”
