Chapter 40: Funeral (6)

At the beginning of the night, the moonlight is like silver, everywhere can not be reached, the night is like ink, deep and unbreakable, Gu Beicheng leaned on the door frame, sat carelessly by the door of the dormitory, lazily looked up at the night sky full of stars, sniffed the rose sachet in his hand, and the sound of cicadas around him was dense like falling rain.

"Wang, the mourning clothes to be worn tomorrow, Madame has already been delivered, and I specially told you to try it." A maid whispered, kneeling beside Gu Beicheng in her mourning clothes.

Gu Beicheng lowered his eyes and gently stroked the word "sound" embroidered on the sachet with his thumb, his eyes were full of tenderness.

He remembered that she had secretly hid behind a willow tree and said that she would be friends with him; remembered that she ran to Anzhiyuan full of alcohol, and then fled shyly; remembered that at the family banquet, she said angrily that she wanted to break off her friendship with him; remembered that in the Lin Mansion, she scolded him for being a fool...... The corners of Gu Beicheng's mouth couldn't help but pull a smile.

Seeing that the king was looking at a sachet from a daughter's house, the maid couldn't help but smile secretly, Gu Beicheng's face instantly turned cold, and he glanced at the maid from the corner of his eyes, his eyes were deep and cold, as cold as ice thorns.

The maid held the mourning clothes and kowtowed, and said urgently: "The slave and maid deserve to die, and the king spares his life!" ”

Gu Beicheng snorted coldly, got up and went back to the dormitory, standing behind the screen in front of the couch in the inner hall, raised his hands, and said lightly: "Change clothes." ”

The maid hurriedly trotted over with the mourning clothes, carefully removed the robe for him, turned around and put it on the screen, and Gu Beicheng hung the sachet on the corner of the screen.

It didn't take long for the maid to finish dressing him up, tidy up Gu Beicheng's belt, and the maid turned around and reached out to get the sachet.

Gu Beicheng grabbed the maid's arm, shook it vigorously, his eyes were cold and indifferent, and he reprimanded sharply: "Stand down!" ”

The maid hurriedly withdrew from Gu Beicheng's inner hall, he took off his mourning clothes, reached out to take off the sachet, put it on the pillow, rinsed, Gu Beicheng lay on the couch on his side, smelled the sweet rose fragrance, and fell asleep.

……

And this night, Lin Miaoyin couldn't sleep over and over, watching the time pass little by little, getting closer and closer to dawn.

She got up and went to the mourning hall, the little maid on duty saw Lin Miaoyin coming, and consciously retreated, she walked over, put incense on Miaojing and the housekeeper, and picked the candle flame with scissors, and then knelt down by the brazier.

She didn't know what was waiting for her after dawn, her whole heart hung in her throat, did Nan Jinyan go to plead with the emperor? Did the emperor agree? Will you say yes?

If the plea fails, will the father really be beheaded? Her mother is gone, and she doesn't want to lose her father again.

Lin Miaoyin stood up and walked over, lying on Miaojing's coffin, she hated it, hated herself for being useless, she couldn't do anything, thinking about it, tears couldn't stop flowing down the corners of her eyes, and the coffin soon became wet.

"Wang, Wang......"

Lin Miaoyin heard the sound and looked for it, the voice came from under the spiritual platform, she squatted down and wiped a handful of tears with her sleeve, and then lifted the white tablecloth, huh? It's "presumptuous", why did you come here?

It lay under the table obediently, and when it saw Lin Miaoyin, it immediately threw itself into her arms, licking her face frantically, and swinging its tail desperately, because it was too hard, its whole body swayed from side to side, and its nose kept humming with a coquettish "hmm".

Lin Miaoyin pinched and held the "Rush" in both hands, held its front feet in her hands, looked at it fondly, and said, "Your master is leaving, are you here to find him?" Don't you miss him so much? ”

"Rushing" licked her hand, Lin Miaoyin picked it up, held it in her arms with one hand, slowly stroked it with the other, and slowly walked to the door of the mourning hall.

Tonight, the sky of the Southern Jin Dynasty was blocked by this lifeless cloud, so that not even a star could be seen, and the moon was also hidden behind the clouds, only revealing half of its face quietly.

Everything in the house was trapped in a deep black curtain, Lin Miaoyin sat on the threshold with "Rushing", stroked it and said to herself: "You say, is the night in Beili the same as ours?" He...... Will you miss us? ”

"What do you say......" Lin Miaoyin lowered her head, "Rushing" was already asleep in her arms, she sighed deeply, "Sleep, I don't know if there will be any ...... in the future, such a peaceful night as now"

Lin Miaoyin leaned her head against the door, looking at the sky and stunned, what flashed in her mind at this moment was everything about Gu Beicheng, his every move, his smile and ...... In the future, we may never have the opportunity to meet again.

……

This night is destined to be ordinary, and the person who has the hardest sleep tonight is Lin Song, who repeatedly pondered what Dan Fu told him in prison during the day.

During the day, Dan Fu came out of the Lin Mansion, said goodbye to Nan Jinyan, and went directly to the prison of the Criminal Department, he bought off the jailer and sneaked in to find Lin Song.

"General Lin!" Dan Fu came to Lin Song's cell, beckoned to him, and called him in a low voice.

Lin Song saw that it was Taifu! How did he get here?

"Taifu?" Lin Song looked puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "Why is Taifu here?" I'm on death row, how did you get in? ”

Dan Fu looked around, sneakily handed him a pill, beckoned again, asked Lin Song to come over with his ear, and whispered: "When you come out of this prison tomorrow, take the pill!" Remember, take it when you get out of prison! ”

"Why? What is it? Lin Song was puzzled and asked in a low voice.

Dan Fu glanced at him, "Ink, just remember when to eat, this is the elixir that can save your life!" ”

Seeing Dan Fu's chatter, Lin Song's face was full of suspicion, "Why did Taifu save me?" You saved me, what did the Holy One do when he found out about you? ”

"I never make a loss-making deal, ugly words are ahead, if I save you, you have to promise me!" Dan Fu's tone suddenly became serious.

Lin Song asked: "What is the promise?" ”

"A win-win!" Dan Fu saw that Lin Song's face was worried, patted him, and teased: "Don't worry, I won't sell you to Qinglou, what are you afraid of?" Besides, if I really have that heart, Qinglou won't accept you, these five big and three coarse ......"

"Sinner, thank you for saving your life!" Lin Song knelt down and kowtowed: "Forgive the sin and be stupid, I really don't understand what the Taifu means?" Interception is a capital offense, and I don't want to affect others, so I want to make it clear! ”

"It's a fart, you can't show it, believe it or not! At this point, whether you want to die or live, you decide for yourself! Dan Fu glanced at Lin Song deeply, "I'm leaving, think about it yourself, anyway, tomorrow will either save your life or collect the corpse for you......"

……

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is almost noon, and today the jailer came with a large food box.

Opening the door of the cell, the jailer looked at Lin Song and said regretfully: "Eat, eat more, alas, be a full ghost, and vote for a good family in the next life!" The jailer put down the food box and turned to leave.

When I opened the food box, the meal was really hearty, with meat and vegetarian dishes, and a bottle of wine! This was probably the last meal before going on the road, but Lin Song had no appetite at all.

After a while, four or five jailers came, and when they saw that the food had not been touched, they shook their heads, "If you don't eat now, you won't have to eat in the future!" As he spoke, he opened the door of the cell, came in and took Lin Song out.

Lin Song's jailer didn't pay attention, secretly took the pill, stayed in the prison for a long time, and suddenly came out, his eyes were pierced by the bright light outside, he subconsciously raised his hand to block, but was dragged by the shackles, so he had to squeeze his eyes and lower his head......
