Li Chun buried his face in her shoulder, and after a long time, he asked angrily, "Nianyun, do you have a tablet hidden here?" ”

Nian Yun's body shook slightly.

She hadn't told him, even guarding against Yuzhu and Chonglou, but he still knew.

Nian Yun led him to the back room of the dormitory, walked to the closet, stood on tiptoe, and opened the top compartment. There is a small shrine there, in which is a white and clear statue of Guanyin.

She reached to the side of the statue and pushed hard, not realizing that there was a hidden compartment there, and a wooden tablet was tightly embedded behind it.

The position of the Guo family's female Konoha.

The shrines and tablets are very clean, without any traces of dust, and I think they are often wiped and worshipped.

Fennel helped her take down the shrine, put it on the table, and placed the statue of Guanyin next to the tablet. Guanyin was kind and kind-eyed, with an eternal smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at all living beings with compassion.

Li Chun suddenly felt that Guanyin was like the dead Guo Shi, that year, it was also such an early winter season, she blocked a fatal arrow for her, and since then she has been away from the twists and turns of this world, away from these many hardships.

If she knew, she might be looking at them like this at this moment.

Nianyun silently took the handkerchief and wiped the dust on the tablet again, and kept polishing the tablet until it was shiny, and then put it on the table upright, took out an incense burner, lit a few pieces of sandalwood, respectfully took two steps back, and kowtowed three times.

It's for my sister, and it's for myself a few years ago. That year, a fire in Wangshulou burned Guo Muye's past alive and completely changed her life.

Li Chun also silently followed behind her, still incense, and kowtowed.

Nian Yun looked at him, today was not his sister's death day, I don't know why he thought of this.

Li Chun saw her question, just lowered his head, and slowly took out a wooden sign from his arms.

A thin wooden plaque, only seven or eight inches long, and the wood seems to still exude the aroma of fresh camphor wood. But the shape, no matter how you look at it, looks like a tablet that should be offered in front of the incense burner.

Li Chun suddenly bit his finger and slowly wrote on the wooden plaque with his own blood:

The position of the younger brother Li Yuan.

Nian Yun raised his head suddenly, and was shocked for a moment.

Li Chun was unconscious, his eyes lowered, and he traced every word seriously, with a heartbreaking concentration.

Yuan'er!

Somewhere in her heart, which was covered by thick dust, there was a sudden dull pain.

The pain was far away and empty, like a meteorite falling from the wilderness thousands of miles away, hitting the ground hard, but because of the distance, the pain was not sharp enough or strong enough, but it was enough to make her breathe stagnantly.

She couldn't hold back her tears in that moment.

Li Chun used the most concise language to talk about what happened in the Xuanzheng Hall as plainly as possible, while gently rubbing the wooden card in his hand, as if he was touching his younger brother's shoulder affectionately.

"It was I who privately ordered someone to contact Tongyuan'er and taught him to put the interests of the East Palace first, and acted in such a heroic and decisive play."

Nian Yun took his cold hand and comforted him softly.

"Yuan'er, in my heart, you have never been the sixth prince, you have always been my second brother, an elegant young man in the East Palace who leans on the paulownia tree to study."

He sighed, "I'm already on this path, and no one will allow me to go any further." Whether it leads to the supreme road of light or to the dark death, I must go down without hesitation, and step on the flesh and bones of my comrades. ”

Nian Yun took Li Yuan's tablet from his hand, solemnly placed it next to his sister's tablet, added incense, and kowtowed.

"Chun, I'll go down with you."

"Nianyun."

She raised her head and crashed into Li Chun's dark and heavy eyes, which were surging like a dark whirlpool, brewing something terrifying but irresistible.

He seemed to have something to say to her, but when she was serious about listening to him, he suddenly lowered his head, "It's okay, this time Yuan'er has an accident, the balance in Shengshang's heart is only afraid that it should be on his father's side, it's hard to guarantee that some dogs will jump off the wall in a hurry, you should also be careful, don't go out casually." ”

Nian Yun nodded in response, but vaguely felt that what he wanted to say was much more than that, but for some reason he didn't say it.

The night was dark. This winter, the weather was unusually cold, and the fine snowflakes fell and fell to the ground, and the cold was bone-chilling.

Without the six pairs of red lanterns tonight, neither Li Chun nor the crown prince were in the mood to experience the joy and excitement brought by the red lanterns. There may not even be a red lantern for a long time.

Li Chun knelt in front of the two tablets, maintaining a confessional posture for a long time, like a wood carving. There was no light in the house, only the faint light and flicker in the incense burner, and the smell of sandalwood shrouded in an ethereal solemnity.

"Chun ......"

He didn't move, but said in a low voice: "Tonight, the Chongwen Hall is deliberating, and you should go with you." ”

After a few bites of dinner, neither of them could eat, so they went directly to Chongwen Palace.

There were already several people waiting in the study, except for Zihou and Wei Zongren, a few young officials, but Mr. Wang was also there, standing up to salute each other.

Guo Yan was also there, and in front of these many people, he did not show special affection, but only bowed slightly.

Nian Yun returned the salute and invited everyone to sit down one by one, before asking, "Why isn't it over there in Chongren Palace?" ”

This sentence is naturally asking why the prince is missing. Mr. Wang coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness has committed another stroke, so I temporarily entrust the affairs to the county king's agent." ”

The prince has always been in poor health, dizzy and dizzy when he has a wind attack, unable to manage the government, and has severe rheumatism, and when he arrives in this very cold day, he can't stand the slightest cold, and there must be a lot of braziers in the house, otherwise his legs will be in pain, and it will be almost difficult to move.

However, he was still in the court during the day, and as soon as something happened here, and it was such an important event, he fell ill like this, and directly handed over the matter to Chun?

Nian Yun was quite surprised, and looked at Li Chun, Li Chun's eyes were very calm, like an ancient well without waves, and said lightly: "His Royal Highness the Holy Lord ordered to preside over the funeral of the six princes. ”

Nian Yun suddenly understood that the prince was escaping reality again!

As the crown prince, he is Li Xian's biological father, in the final analysis, Li Xian's death is inseparable from the East Palace. And now that the saint has entrusted him with the funeral, I am afraid that this degree is a little difficult to grasp.

He simply fell ill, and the mess was pushed, even if the saint blamed him, in the end, he could still say that Chun'er was young and ignorant, didn't know how to advance and retreat, etc., to perfunctory, so as not to let people pinch him and Donggong too big a handle.

Nian Yun asked: "In this case, can the Holy Lord make an order, is the Six Princes mourning in the palace, or in the Six Princes' Mansion, or in the East Palace?" ”

Wei Zongren said: "Although Your Majesty has not issued an order, Wei thinks that he is naturally in the mansion of the Six Princes, but now how can he say that he is still the identity of the Six Princes, and he is not the son of the East Palace." ”

Wang Shuwen said: "Although the Holy One has exonerated the Six Highnesses, and the Holy One has a lot of regrets, but after all, the matter of the Sixth Highness is too intense, and if the burial exceeds the regulations of the normal prince, it will be too ostentatious." In my opinion, it is better to do it according to the regulations of the underage prince. ”

The underage prince is slightly lower than the adult prince, and Yuan'er is not as old as the weak crown, which is not unreasonable.

But it is precisely because the cause of the death of the six princes is extraordinary that it has to be done in a big way, and the Holy Lord ordered the East Palace to do this, which should have this intention, not necessarily just a temptation. If it is sloppy, how can it be worthy of the kindness and friendship that Li Xian planted in the heart of the saint when he was dying!

Nian Yun groaned: "Mr. Wang is inevitably too cautious. The matter of the six princes, in the final analysis, is still because of the East Palace, since the saint has such a will, it must not be perfunctory. Since we can't keep him alive and safe, we can't be hasty in everything we do behind us! Now that the Holy Lord has ruled him innocent, he must show his attention in order to suppress the arrogance over there! ”

Li Chun's brows were tightly locked, he didn't know what he was thinking, when he heard Nianyun's words, he suddenly said: "The scenery must be beautiful, and the East Palace owes Yuan'er, and it can't owe more." It's just that what should be done in the end, so that I don't wronged Yuan'er again, and I can deal with His Majesty's side. ”

Guo Yan, who had been listening quietly on the sidelines, suddenly said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty doesn't speak, but we have to speculate on Your Majesty's thoughts, so it's better to simply ask Your Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty?"

Nian Yun frowned slightly, and he had already thought of a place with him, so he said, "What did my brother say was to ask His Majesty for a nickname?" ”

Guo Yan handed her a "Sure enough, my sister understands me" look, nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

His Majesty is now grieving, not to mention that he wants to posthumously crown the prince, but he should always give a word or two.

Just look at how His Majesty pursues it, and the holy will is easy to speculate.

Everyone said for a while that it was really the Guo family who was smart, and then continued to discuss what etiquette the funeral of the six princes would be, and how the East Palace would mourn and cooperate, and how it would behave.

The deceased is gone, so he has to do his best to deal with what is behind him, and consider how to use his death to the best for the benefit of the living.

As the crown prince continued to fall ill, Li Chun, the king of Guangling County, seemed to have become the backbone of the East Palace. However, for some reason, Nian Yun always felt that Wang Shuwen and Wei Zongren's style of action was closer to the prince, cautious and introverted, which was diametrically opposed to Li Chun's killing results.

Although many things finally followed Li Chun's instructions, there was always a feeling of stumbling.

They were Li Yu's ministers.

Now Li Chun's status is extraordinary, but after all, he is all about the overall interests of the East Palace, and he is Li Yu's right-hand man like them.

But the saint is not young for a long time, and it may not be long before the world will be handed over to Li Yu. By the time Li Yu ascended the throne, they would no longer be the closest comrades-in-arms in the East Palace camp, and they would also become like His Majesty and the Crown Prince, suspicious of each other, jealous of each other, and even killing each other.

At that time, this strong alliance of common interests will be broken, and what will be the situation at that time?
