Chapter 176: Let Go
Nangong You came out of the Empress Dowager Palace with Ye Xiaoyan's body in his arms, and Nangong Chen followed him.
Out of the harem, the breeze, the wind, the green branches, and the green mao are waiting here. They originally thought that they would wait for the prince to take the princess's hand and walk towards them, but they didn't expect to see the prince walking over with the princess in his arms.
"Lord Wang," the four of them hurriedly stepped forward: "What's wrong with the princess?" ”
Nangong said quietly: "The princess is dead. ”
"What?" The four were shocked.
"How did the princess die?" Qingmao was emotional.
Nangong Chen hurriedly came over and said, "Let's talk about it when we go back." ”
Qingmao clenched his fists, and tears welled up at once.
When the wind saw it, he glanced at the green branch, and the green branch stepped forward and took her and said, "Let's go back and talk about it." ”
Also waiting here are fragrant lotus and fragrant tea.
Seeing the appearance of the prince, Xianghe didn't dare to ask the prince, so he asked Nangong Chen.
"Meet the Fourth Prince, may I ask our young lady?"
Nangong Chen said: "In the Empress Dowager's Palace, please go in by yourself." ”
Xianghe and Xiangming didn't dare to ask more, thanked the four princes, and went to ask the guards to pass into the Queen Mother's Palace.
The group took the carriage back to the Xuanwang Mansion. Nangong You hugged Ye Xiaoyan without saying a word, all the way to the palace, to the main courtyard, to the bedroom, and finally hugged her and sat on the bed.
Nangong Chen wanted to persuade a few words, but looking at the third emperor brother's lost soul, he thought about it. The third emperor's sister-in-law has just passed away, and it is understandable that he is like this now, so let him grieve for a while.
Nangong Chen walked out of the bedroom, and Qingfeng, Hurricane, Steward Zhou, Mama Rong, and Branches and Trees were all waiting outside the door. They wanted to know what was going on.
Nangong Chen told the story again, and then said: "It is estimated that tomorrow the emperor's decree will come down, which was discussed between the emperor and the three emperor brothers, and the three emperor brothers also nodded and agreed." Therefore, the funeral of the three imperial sisters-in-law cannot be prepared according to the specifications of the princess. ”
The crowd was silent. For the old people in the palace, they have experienced bankruptcy, and they have experienced the serious injury and dying of the prince. Now, alas!
Mama Rong sighed, gave a big salute to Nangong Chen, and said: "The fourth prince, the prince is like this now, I am afraid that he will not be able to preside over the princess's funeral, and I also ask the fourth prince to help the prince preside over the funeral affairs for the sake of blood relatives." ”
Naturally, Steward Zhou and Mama Rong will handle the specific matters of the future, but they need a master to make the final decision, after all, they are just slaves, and logically speaking, they can't be the master.
Nangong Chen thought of helping from the moment he came, so he nodded in agreement.
The palace was quickly replaced with a white sail, and the lantern with the word "Dian" that was hung yesterday was also replaced with a white lantern with the word "Dian".
On the second day, the emperor informed the court that Princess Xuan had committed suicide by cutting her wrists, and King Xuan was angry and hurt the Queen Mother, and ordered that King Xuan be stripped of the title of first-class prince and demoted to a commoner as a punishment. At the same time, he also cured Ye Fusheng's goddaughter for the crime of having no way, removed Ye Fusheng from the post of prime minister, and removed him from the imperial court. To put it bluntly, it is to be degraded to a flat-headed common man.
In order to return the dowry, Ye Fusheng has sold a lot of properties and offended many people. Now, the official position has not been kept, and a lot of property has been lost. Ye Fusheng became more and more angry at home, and beat the Wang family at every turn, Ye Hongbo and Ye Wanting couldn't persuade him. The Ye family has also declined since then.
Xuanwang's Mansion. Oh no, it's supposed to be called now, and I don't know what it should be called. Let's call it Xuanwang's Mansion.
Nangong You has been sitting holding Ye Xiaoyan's body for four days and four nights. The mourning hall in the front hall has been set up, and the coffin has been prepared, but Nangong You held Ye Xiaoyan's corpse and didn't let go, and several people took turns to persuade her, Nangong You couldn't listen to it, just didn't let it go, everyone was very helpless, how could this be good!
Nangong Chen, Steward Zhou, and Mama Rong sat in the study, they had persuaded them many times, saying that they should go into the earth and let her rest in peace, but Nangong You ignored them.
Nangong Chen asked, "Mama Rong, you have followed the Three Emperor Brothers for the longest time, what other way can you persuade the Three Emperor Brothers?" ”
Mama Rong shook her head and said, "The old slave can say everything, the master can't listen to it, and the old slave can't do it!" The master is very affectionate to the princess, oh no, the master has a deep affection for the lady, except for the lady who can persuade him, who can persuade him. Madame is a strange woman, but unfortunately, Madame is gone! Mama Rong sighed, the woman from the other world was gone.
Nangong Chen pondered. Ye Xiaoyan is indeed a strange woman, the things she wrote are so knowledgeable, where in this world can such a person be cultivated. Although Ye Fusheng is talented, it is impossible for him to raise a daughter like Ye Xiaoyan.
Nangong Chen was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, he still asked: "The third emperor's sister-in-law once told me that she is not Ye Wanyan, but Ye Xiaoyan. Do you know what that means? ”
Mama Rong was shocked, could it be that the four princes also knew?
Mama Rong asked with some hesitation, "Is this what Madame told you personally?" ”
Nangong Chen nodded.
Mama Rong thought about it, anyway, Madame was already dead, and the fourth prince was not an outsider, so she said: "The master once told me that Madame is not Ye Wanyan, the second lady of the Ye family, but Ye Xiaoyan from another world. ”
Nangong Chen was shocked. It turned out that his cranky guess was true! Ye Xiaoyan is really not Ye Wanyan. She said that her father also knew the secret, no wonder!
Nangong Chen suddenly thought of something, and got up to find Nangong You.
Nangong You sat cross-legged on the bed, holding Ye Xiaoyan's corpse in his arms, many days have passed, the corpse began to swell, the original pale complexion has now turned black, the corners of the corpse's mouth overflowed with a little foam, Nangong You stretched out his hand to wipe it off for her.
When Nangong Chen saw this scene, he was indescribably uncomfortable.
"Brother Three Emperors!" Nangong Chen shouted with some annoyance: "You are enough!" Don't do that again! What you are holding is just a corpse, not Ye Xiaoyan! ”
Nangong You didn't look up, just looked at the changes of Ye Xiaoyan in his arms day by day, he knew that she was dead, and he knew that there was no more laughter and laughter of this little woman in his life. Children, and children, he said that he would give her many, many relatives, but in the end, she died like this, and she didn't leave him with any thoughts. He wanted to see her one last time, one last time. He didn't know when he was going to see it. He didn't know, and he didn't know it himself. Nangong You's bloodshot eyes burst into tears again.
Nangong Chen said: "Ye Xiaoyan may not be dead. Isn't she a soul from another world? This body is Ye Wanyan's body, it is only the body that dies, and Ye Xiaoyan's soul may be somewhere. Brother Sanhuang, don't do this! You hold Ye Wanyan's body like this, if you let Ye Xiaoyan know, she will definitely be very angry! ”
Nangong Chen also had no choice, and he was rambling nonsense. Holding a corpse for so long, the Third Emperor Brother is really crazy.
Hearing this, Nangong You suddenly raised his head and asked expectantly, "What you said is true?" ”
Nangong Chen said firmly: "Of course it's true! You let it go! It's hard to say that Ye Xiaoyan's soul is watching in this room, she just can't talk to us, maybe she is so angry with you that she wants to slap you. ”
Nangong let go of his hand and finally let go.
