Chapter 21: The Horse's Head (1st Update)

From illness to death, it only took seven days for the old Nanyang King.

Seven days later, he closed his eyes quietly and fell asleep.

A lifetime of horses, decades of ups and downs, this is the end. In his life, he was loyal to the king, loyal and responsible, and worthy of the people.

An Huajin released the news of the death of the old Nanyang King in Nanyang City, and it was only limited to Nanyang City.

When the people heard the news, they wept and wept one after another, and the entire Nanyang City wept, and every household was clothed in linen, and at the same time the tablet of the old Nanyang King was offered.

On the seventh day of the stoppage, the people of the city and An Huajin sent the old Nanyang King to the ancestral tomb of Anjia.

Shen Yuanzhi and Chu Xiyun cried more than the other, and An Huajin was like eight years ago, only a tear fell on the newly planted branch in front of the grave, and it was covered by snow in an instant, and there was no trace.

Cui Zhuo looked at An Huajin's thin figure, from beginning to end, she didn't cry, but her grief followed her.

Xu Qingyan stepped forward, pressed his hand on An Huajin's shoulder, and said with a slight weight, "Although Grandpa An is gone, we are still here." ”

An Huajin stretched out his hand and flicked the snow falling on his shoulder, and said casually, "Yes, there are still you here, and Ning'er is here, I am not alone." ”

"It's getting late." Xu Qingyan said again.

"Let's go, go back." An Huajin turned around and beckoned to everyone, "Go home." ”

There was no crying on the way back to the city, Shen Yuanzhi shook his head, and the whole person was lying on horseback, as if his soul had been drained.

An Huajin couldn't help but raise his foot and kick him, kicking him on the calf, the force was not light, he kicked him "sizzle", turned his head and glared at An Huajin, "Stinky girl, what are you doing?" ”

"Kick you."

Shen Yuanzhi was furious, "Did I provoke you by recruiting you?" ”

"I didn't provoke you, I just wanted to kick you."

Shen Yuanzhi exploded all of a sudden, and raised his foot to kick An Huajin.

An Huajin rode a horse to avoid, Shen Yuanzhi chased him and kicked him, and the two of them kicked me to hide, and you dodged and kicked back to the city. Shen Yuanzhi still didn't kick An Huajin, but miraculously soothed his uncomfortable feeling of wanting to die.

Panting, he grabbed the reins of his horse and sat up straight, "I'm going to the barracks." ”

"Get out!" Anwar Jin entered the city without looking back.

Shen Yuanzhi stared at An Huajin's back and gritted his teeth for a while, swept away the decadence, turned around and went to the barracks.

Chu Xiyun lifted the curtain, looked at Shen Yuanzhi's figure of beating a horse and walked away, and muttered quietly, "I have never seen a man who can cry more than a woman, and it has also opened my eyes." ”

A servant girl whispered, "General Shen is no more crying than a woman, and he is on par with you, princess." ”

Chu Xiyun glared at the palace maid, "Is there anyone who can cry more than me?" ”

The maid shut up.

The third princess is famous for being able to cry, when she used to like Gu Qigongzi, she made trouble with the queen every three or five times, and the queen mother ignored her trouble, she cried very sadly, and she cried for a long time, and she couldn't stop. She really had never seen a woman who could cry more than the third princess.

In this way, General Shen Xiao can indeed cry more than a woman.

Back at the Nanyang Palace, An Huajin threw the reins of the horse to the doorman, stepped into the door of the mansion, turned back to Cui Zhuo and said, "Brother Cui Shi, I am very sleepy, and I will sleep for about two days." ”

Cui Zhuo immediately said, "You just have to rest, and leave everything to me." ”

An Huajin bowed, "Don't be too tired, let Brother Qingyan help you, and Anping, the Wang family doesn't need to check, so he doesn't have to go to Jiangzhou." ”

Cui Zhuo nodded, "Okay." ”

An Huajin went back to his yard, entered the door, kicked his shoes, threw himself on the bed, and fell asleep.

Chu Xiyun slowed An Huajin back to the courtyard, seeing that the courtyard was quiet, and the house was quiet, she quietly poked her head out, glanced at An Huajin's house through the crack in the door, turned around and walked back to her room, and whispered, "Is my cousin asleep?" It's not like crying on the bed, is it? ”

The palace maid whispered, "It doesn't look like crying, there is no sound, it really looks like I'm asleep." ”

Another palace maid whispered, "The little county lord hasn't slept much for seven days in a row, and has been staying in the old prince's courtyard to guard, and he is generally very sleepy." ”

Chu Xiyun's eyes turned red again, "Grandpa is such a good person, he just went." ”

She paused, and said hatefully, "It's all the Jiangzhou Wang family who is a ghost, and when they get such a letter, my grandfather treats him as if he is a normal person, but he is depressed in his heart, which aggravates the already overwhelmed body." ”

She burst into tears again, "It's all my fault, if I had been with my grandfather and helped him take the box early, I found the letter early and hid it, he might not have seen the letter." ”

The palace maid whispered, "Don't blame the princess, you don't know what the Jiangzhou royal family is planning, and no one can predict the prophet." ”

Another palace maid nodded, "If you want to blame, blame the Jiangzhou Wang family, and when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, the Wang family will be beheaded." ”

Chu Xiyun stopped crying, "I'll write a letter to my brother." ”

The palace maid immediately reminded, "The little county lord has blocked the news of the death of the old prince, and if you write a letter, I am afraid it will not be good, in case the news leaks......"

Chu Xiyun's footsteps towards the table immediately stopped, "That's right, I can't write a letter, let's wait for my cousin to wake up." ”

She turned around and went to bed.

After the emperor's holy decree was granted, he had been waiting for Gu Qingyan's movements, but he didn't expect that he didn't wait for anything, Gu Qingyan had been closed, the Gu family was closed, and the children of the Gu family in the court also complained one after another.

No matter how you say it, it is the country of the Chu family, the emperor has always been very concerned, and he was a little anxious when he saw it, and asked Wang Anzhi, "Although Gu Qingyan did not break into the palace to find me, but he blocked my marriage decree, and did not go to the court, the Gu family closed the door to thank guests, did not enter or leave, and the entire Gu family and the whole clan were only looking at him, and they all complained about their illness, how can it go on like this?" ”

"Your Majesty, what are you worried about? Won't this country be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future? Let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince find a way to arrange people to go on top. Without the Gu family, wouldn't the Great Chu River not function? Wang Anzhi didn't care.

The emperor thought about it and asked tentatively, "What about your Wang family?" ”

"The minister's Wang family, like the Gu family, needs to let them recognize clearly, this Da Chu is not controlled by the Gu family's Wang family, this world is His Majesty's world, the Chu family's world, and the world of the people in the world, everyone is responsible."

"Okay, good, Aiqing's words are deeply heartfelt." The emperor was happy and instructed Gonggong Zhang, "Go, spread my will, and let Chu Yan arrange someone to replace the person who is sick in the Wang family." ”

Father-in-law Zhang should have been, and turned around.

In the prince's mansion, Chu Yan thought that now that the news should have reached Nanyang, what would his cousin do when he learned the news that Gu Qingyan was given marriage? Is it anger or anger? Still relieved? Don't embarrass yourself anymore, take the opportunity to let go of Gu Qingyan.

After Gonggong Zhang arrived, he told Chu Yan about the emperor's will.

Chu Yan narrowed his eyes, "Father asked me to arrange someone to take care of the Gu family?" ”

"Yes."

"Who gave my father the idea?" Chu Yan asked.

His father didn't dare to do this to the Gu family.

"It's Lord Wang."

Chu Yan sneered, "Why didn't he take the opportunity to arrange for someone from his Wang family?" ”

Gonggong Zhang did not hide it, and said what Wang Anzhi said to His Majesty.

Chu Yan threw down the twists and turns in his hand, was silent for a moment, and said indifferently, "This palace knows." ”

Zhang Gonggong finished his errand and left the prince's mansion.

Chu Yan sat quietly in the study for a while, and instructed the waiter, "Go and invite the eldest brother." ”

Not long after, Chu Xian came to Chu Yan's study, untied his cloak, although it was his own brother, he still gave Chu Yan the gift of meeting the prince according to the rules.

Chu Yan accepted it and said, "Big brother doesn't have to be polite. ”

Chu Xian straightened up, "The seventh brother called me here to tell all the people of the Gu family in the court about their illness?" ”

Chu Yan nodded, motioned for him to sit, and said lightly, "Father Emperor just sent someone to pass the word, and asked me to send someone to the Gu family to report the illness." ”

Chu Xian was taken aback, "Father, this is going to ...... Take the opportunity to dismiss the official positions of everyone in the Gu family? ”

"Wang Anzhi gave his father the idea."

Chu Xian was silent for a moment.

Chu Yan looked at Chu Xian, "Big brother, let's go to the Gu family!" Gu Qingyan didn't see anyone else, he should have met you. ”

Chu Xian immediately said, "Seventh brother, I didn't hide my grief and weep in front of Huai'an because of the Battle of Yuxueling, and then I found him to help in the case of private weapons, and he just helped me, and now I was rescued by you, and the verbal agreement with him is no longer counted, and he may not see me now." ”

Chu Yan's eyes were calm, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to use my eldest brother to meet him and see what he means." ”

Chu Xian understood, "Do you want to ask him about marriage, but now that he is closed, and the Gu family is all sick, what do you want to do?" ”

"Yes, is it to confront my father so silently, or do you want to ruin the Gu family's lifelong business."
