Although I don't want to admit it, the drum on the cliff, the tiger head shoes and beads under the cliff all prove that Princess Chu and Xiao Shizi did fall from the cliff, and the bodies were not found, they must have fallen into the dark river, and those who fell into the dark river have always had only one way to die.

Hao Pingguan knew that Murong Mian was in a bad mood, but there were some things that could not be delayed, and he had to do the things after his death earlier, so that the princess and Xiao Shizi could take care of them as soon as possible.

He looked for an opportunity and brought it up with Murong Mian, and the King of Chu stared at him gloomily for a while, and said, "You can handle it." ”

So that night, the mourning hall was erected, there was no corpse, the coffin was filled with the clothes of Princess Chu, Murong Mian stood silently on the side, looking at the various activities of the people below, his expression was a little sad, but between his eyebrows was more angry, the people under him automatically walked around him, as far away as possible, afraid of the kind of persecutive momentum on his body that made people shudder.

When Xiao Shizi's coffin was brought in, he finally spoke, "You don't have to pack the coffin alone, the child is too young, let him be with his mother." ”

Hao Pingguan had no choice but to ask people to carry the coffin out again, and add a set of Xiao Shizi's clothes to the princess's coffin.

The mourning hall is set up in the front yard, which is convenient for people from all walks of life to come to mourn, but the coffin is placed in the wing room in the backyard, the windows and door curtains are tightly covered, the coffin is placed in the middle, and a few white candles are lit around, fainting out of a pale yellow aura, like a strange world, Murong Mian sat cross-legged in front of the coffin, lowered his head, and meticulously separated the thick stack of paper money one by one and threw it into the brazier.

The blue flames twisted and twisted, big and small, swallowing the yellow paper money and turning it into black ashes.

Ning Jiu stood outside the door expressionlessly, the prince had an order, no one was allowed to enter, except for the red who delivered the food. When Crimson went in, the two silently exchanged glances, and when she came out, the two looked at each other again, both helpless and sad, delivering meals on time every day, and taking out the meals sent in, almost unchanged.

Every time Qihong went in, she saw that Murong Mian was sitting there in the same posture, burning money paper with her head down, not speaking, and without any expression, she was very sad, the princess and Xiao Shizi left, it was a devastating blow to the prince, and he was uncomfortable, but she was a little strange, after the princess and the princess were together, his emotions were infected and exposed, and when he found the princess and the princess to give birth, he cried, but this time, when he should have cried the most, he didn't have a single tear, just a face, sitting in a daze for a long time.

How can you do it without eating or drinking like this, she persuaded her before, but Murong Mian turned a deaf ear and concentrated on burning his money paper, as if there was nothing in this world that could arouse his interest except burning money paper. Later, Crimson stopped talking, and whenever she put away the dishes, she just sighed and shook her head.

Compared with the quiet and desolate backyard, the front yard is much more lively, the princess of Chu and Xiao Shizi were both killed, although they did not tell the world, but they couldn't hide it, people who got the news came in an endless stream to mourn, large and small officials, the rich people in the city, the family, the most striking thing is the people of Wushui Town, every household has come to represent, lined up to give incense to the princess and Xiao Shizi, all of them cried sadly, among them, Yuexiang cried the saddest, kneeling in the mourning hall, beating his chest and wailing, tearing his heart, Liang Baotian stood on the side at a loss, Several times I tried to pull her up, but she opened it with her hand.

Yuegui squeezed out of the crowd, hugged her and cried, their relationship with Bai Qianfan was unusual, not a master and servant, it was a real sisterhood, last time Bai Qianfan ran away, they resolutely followed together, but this time, there was no way to go with her, it was another world, when I thought of the separation of yin and yang, I couldn't see each other forever, Yuexiang Yuegui cried to death, and in the end, her voice was dumb, pulling her throat, but she couldn't make any sound, and anyone who saw it was uncomfortable.

Hao Pingguan was in charge of this funeral, but the prince greeted him on the scene. He was dressed in a white plain dress, without a crown on his head, tied with a silver-white ribbon, his face was haggard, his expression was sad, he stood on the side of the mourning hall, it stands to reason that although he has not ascended the throne, he is also a prince, and he should not show his face for this kind of thing, but he does not care about these, whenever someone comes to worship, he will thank the people who came to mourn as a brother according to the rules. When people came and went saw him, they secretly praised him in their hearts.

People came in one after another outside the door, and the people who sang salutes dragged out their tones and reported in one after another.

"Lord Shili of the salt capital came to offer condolences—"

The prince raised his eyes slightly, and saw two people coming in at the door, the head was Yandu Shi Li Fule, followed by a person, his head was lowered, although he couldn't see the appearance clearly, but he could feel that he was really sad, the prince couldn't help but be a little surprised, the people who came to mourn were all with heavy expressions, but he knew that there were few people who were really sad, after all, it didn't have much to do with him, pretending to be like him, just going through the motions, but this person ......

He watched attentively, the man waited for Li Fule to put on the incense, and then he stepped forward to bow, and he didn't look up when he knelt, but every time he kowtowed, his forehead was on the ground, and when he got up, there was a little ash on his forehead, he seemed to be aware of it, and stretched out his hand to brush it.

The prince returned the salute, Li Fule said the words on the scene with his waist stretched, he looked very scared, and the person also followed him, his head was still lowered, but he didn't say a word, and soon followed Li Fule away.

When he walked outside, his back immediately straightened, only his head was still lowered, but that kind of temperament, the prince felt somewhat familiar, which only people who had been in the army all year round had.

He glanced at Li Xiaolu and motioned for him to follow.

Jia Tong saw it and came over to ask him, "His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a problem with that person?" ”

The prince said, "Although I came with Li Fule, my face is very raw, and at this time, we can't afford not to guard against it." ”

Jia Tong said, "I'll bring someone to arrest him." ”

"No, don't startle the snake," said the prince, "and in extraordinary times, it is better to be cautious." ”

Jia Tong knew what the prince meant, after all, there was going to be a war, so he really had to be cautious, in case the news leaked out, so that the other party would take the lead, and before they could fight, they would lose. Today's noodles are mixed, and some things can't be foolproof, so you can only pay attention to yourself.

Li Xiaolu followed the man out of the mansion, and saw that he and Li Fule entered the sedan chair together, the general official sedan chair is a single sedan chair, but it is not impossible to sit two people in a squeezed manner, Li Xiaolu is just strange, two big men are crowded in a small space, don't you feel uncomfortable?

He followed them all the way to the entrance of Caoyun's yamen, saw them get out of the sedan chair and entered, made a little money to ask the guard at the door, it turned out that the person was Li Dushi's deputy, called Wan Yuanqing.
