The room was quiet again, except for the sizzling of the candle flames, which echoed clearly in the air.

At this moment, no amount of comforting words is empty.

Feng Yan just picked up the teapot silently and filled the half-empty teacup in front of Cen Yin before he said, "Big brother, I'll go back and discuss with Wuchen, tomorrow will still be this time, I'll wait for you here." ”

Cen Yin drank the warm tea in the teacup, then stood up and left.

Feng Yan sat at the window, watching in a daze as Cen Yin's long, upright and unruly back in the courtyard was engulfed by the night little by little......

The night is thicker and deeper......

The night sky of the capital gradually filled with a layer of haze, and the stars and moon were obscure.

The news of King Jian's death spread throughout the court the next day, and Duanmu Xian, who had spent the night in the palace, returned to Duanmu Mansion early in the morning, and Duanmu Fei also heard the bad news from him.

Duanmu Fei was stunned, sitting there motionless like a stone sculpture.

Just like everyone else, although Duanmu Fei knew that King Jian's trip was dangerous, she never wavered in her confidence in King Jian.

In her heart, King Jane has always been invincible, the most powerful guardian of the North.

What's more, Jun Ran has already rushed to the north......

Or is she underestimating the war too much?! Duanmu looked at the scorching sun outside the window, his ears buzzing, and he felt almost breathless.

Her ears suddenly remembered the lottery that Jun Lingxi had asked for for King Jian in Baiyun Temple in Gusu:

"I advise you not to ask him, like a crane flying and throwing a secret arrow; If you go to pick the snake in the grass, you are afraid of being poisoned and sorrowful. ”

Every word felt like a needle piercing her heart.

Duanmu Xian knew much less than Cen Yin, just the content of the military report, Duanmu Fei listened quietly, just with these few words, she was enough to know the thrill of Lingwu City at that time.

Duanmu Xian sighed and raised his eyes to look at the northern sky.

Facing Duanmu Fei, Duanmu Xian didn't intend to whitewash the peace, and said in a deep voice: "Four girls...... Now I'm afraid that in case Beiyan drives all the way south. ”

Duanmuxian retracted his gaze and looked at Duanmu Fei worriedly, although he is a civil official, he is also the first assistant, and he can still understand the overall situation.

"Fourth girl, I should be very busy recently, I am about to enter the palace, you and your sister will take care of you at home, if there is anything, let your eldest brother go to me."

Duanmuxian only left a stick of incense in the mansion, changed into a robe, and left in a hurry.

Duanmuxian left, but Duanmufei stayed.

The big girl in the outer study didn't urge her, and no one in the house knew that the four girls were most valued by the old lady, even if there were any secrets in the study, for the four girls, it was not a secret.

The old lady has always known everything about the four girls.

Duanmu sat down in despair for a while, and a little maid hurriedly came and said, "Fourth girl, the eldest princess is here." ”

Duanmu Fei woke up like a dream.

She exhaled a long breath, stood up, and followed the little maid to the door.

Wuyang's Zhulun stopped outside the Yimen, and she leaned out of the window with half her face and waved at Duanmu Fei with a smile.

There is no need for words, but from Wuyang's slightly bitter eyes, Duanmu Fei understood in his heart that Wuyang should also know and know the news of King Jian's death.

Similarly, Wuyang also knew that Duanmu Fei had heard the news, so she didn't say much, and said straight to the point: "Sister Fei, I want to go to King Jian's Mansion, but it's not convenient for me to be alone, you ...... Would you like to come with me? ”

Duanmu Fei's response was to get directly on Wuyang's Zhulun car.

Duanmu Fei actually planned to go to King Jian's mansion.

Along the way, the two girls sat there holding hands, neither of them spoke, except for the sound of horses' hooves and the wheels of the wheels.

The Zhulun car sped all the way in silence, passing through five or six streets, and came to King Jian's Mansion on Hongwu Street.

This is not the first time that Wuyang and Duanmu Fei have come to King Jian's Mansion, they used to be happy every time they came, but this time the two of them were extremely heavy.

White lanterns and white silk have been hung inside and outside King Jian's mansion, representing a funeral in the family.

The palace was surprisingly quiet, and the sun was shining, but it gave people a gloomy and gloomy feeling, and the people in the palace were all depressed.

There was a deep sadness in the air.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the fourth girl of Duanmu, please come here."

The housekeeper respectfully led Wuyang and Duanmu Fei to the main hall of the palace.

Princess Jian and Jun Lingxi's mother and daughter were both inside.

"Scarlet!"

As soon as Jun Lingxi saw Duanmufei, he stood up, flew towards her, hugged her tightly and sobbed sadly.

Her body trembled slightly from sobbing, like a weak flower in the wind and rain.

Jun Lingxi's temperament has always been lively and cheerful, and this is the first time Duanmufei has seen her cry like this.

Duanmu Fei gently patted Jun Lingxi's back, one after another, her eyes were also red, and the sour feeling spread to all her limbs.

Her throat was tight and she couldn't speak.

For her, King Jian is also a respectable elder.

"Xiaoxi, you made the four girls Duanmu at a loss." Princess Jane persuaded aloud, and there was a little hoarseness in her gentle voice.

Jun Lingxi hugged Duanmufei again, and his emotions began to stabilize.

Wuyang handed Jun Lingxi a handkerchief, and Jun Lingxi wiped his tears with the handkerchief.

Duanmu raised her hand and gave her a haircut.

I haven't seen her for a few days, Jun Lingxi seems to have lost a lot of weight, her eyes are panicked, it seems that the pillar that once supported her has collapsed in an instant, and her eyes are depressed.

"Princess."

Duanmu Fei and Wuyang greeted Princess Jane together.

"Wuyang, four girls Duanmu, you all sit down and talk." Princess Jane said decently.

Compared with her daughter Jun Lingxi, Princess Jane, who was wearing a frosty white dress, seemed to be much calmer, although her eyes were a little red, but her demeanor was not out of proportion.

Even if Princess Jian behaved calmly and calmly, Duanmu Fei could guess that she must be uncomfortable now, her husband was killed in battle, and her son is still in the north, and his whereabouts are unknown......

In this case, Princess Jane is afraid that her days are like years, as if she is tormented on the fire.

However, they are women, so they can only passively wait and wait in the capital...... Just like Chu Qingci, who was only eight years old at the time, was so powerless when he heard the news of his parents' death.

After Duanmu Fei and Wuyang thanked Princess Jane, they sat down, and the maid served tea.

At this moment, even the sound of the collision of the top table of the tea cup, the rustling of the clothes and the slight shaking of the door curtain are so clear.

Jun Lingxi was not in the mood to drink tea at all, so he picked up the teacup and put it down again.

Wuyang looked at Princess Jane, her eyes were deep, and she took the lead in speaking: "Princess...... Condolences change. If there's anything Hongu can do, please feel free to say it. ”

Wuyang also knew in her heart that what she could do for King Jian's Mansion was too limited, but this was her heart.

Princess Jian pursed her lips, and her upper body sitting on the Taishi's chair was straight, tough as a willow, and had a perseverance that ordinary women did not have.

Princess Jian was silent for a moment before she said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, for your kindness." ”

After the words fell, the room fell silent again, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Princess Jane's heart is like a mirror.

She knew that for King Jian's mansion, King Jian's death in battle was not the worst result.

As a "general", you cannot and are not allowed to lose the battle.

In history, how many generals have affected their families because of the defeat and loss of the city, if Jun Ran also has a case, then she must protect Jun Lingxi......

There are some things that Princess Jian doesn't dare to think about now, but she has to think about them.

She must leave a bloodline for the Jun family.

Princess Jane's eyes were half-drooping, and her sad eyes gradually precipitated.

She raised her eyes and looked at Jun Lingxi again, looked at her red eyes, and said softly: "Xiaoxi, you take Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and the fourth girl Duanmu for a walk." ”

Princess Jian showed a kind smile at Duanmufei, hoping that these little girls of the same age could comfort and comfort their daughter.

Jun Lingxi thought that the concubine wanted to be quiet, so she hurriedly got up and responded, and went out with Wuyang and Duanmufei.

Out of the main hall, through the bluestone brick courtyard in front of the main hall, in front of a huge unicorn wall, carved on the unicorn teeth and claws, majestic and extraordinary.

Jun Lingxi couldn't help but look back in the direction of the main hall, his eyes were dark and deep, covered with a faint layer of water vapor.
