Chapter 122: Condolence
In order not to arouse the suspicion of others, Mingyuexi specially asked Zhu Bajie to come down from a distance.
"The landslide is so bad." As early as when he was in the sky, Mingyuexi found that a lot of sand, gravel and mud had rolled down on the mountain, but he didn't expect it to be more serious after landing on the ground.
They walked forward along the edge of the ridge for a while, and then saw a pair of men and horses led by Gu Yanbai surveying the place of the incident, and Mingyuexi rushed to meet him.
Gu Yanbai wasn't too surprised by Mingyuexi's arrival so quickly, because he knew that she had the ability to summon a group of friends who could help her.
He said lightly, "You're here," and took her hand and walked to the wreckage of the carriage.
"Is the eldest princess really killed?" Mingyuexi pointed to the broken carriage and asked cautiously.
Although Gu Yanbai didn't answer, her tone made her affirm eight points.
Seeing Gu Yanbai's unbearable appearance, Mingyuexi reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
The deceased is gone, so let's mourn and change.
However, Mingyuexi suddenly thought that only the wreckage of the carriage was here, and the body of the eldest princess had not been found so far.
She glanced at Gu Yanbai, he brought someone here today, probably to bring back the body of the eldest princess.
But the trace was unsuccessful, and the eldest princess could only be regarded as missing.
"Gu Yanbai, what have you discovered?"
Gu Yanbai shook his head, although he didn't accept the news of the eldest princess's death at first, but when he saw the scene at the scene, he had to believe that the eldest princess was killed.
He sighed deeply.
At this moment, a sharp cry sounded in his ears, and Mingyue Creek followed the voice, it was a horse.
I saw the horse Feisheng jumping off the horse, trotting to the carriage, lying on the wheel and crying in the dark, the corners of Mingyuexi's mouth twitched, although the death of the eldest princess was an uncomfortable thing, but she had to complain in her heart, the horse cried too unimaged.
"Little Hou Ye, have you found Xia Er's corpse?" After crying for a while, the horse turned to look at Gu Yanbai.
Gu Yanbai shook his head.
Suddenly, Mingyuexi saw a piece of jade pendant on the ground, she picked it up from the ground, and when the horse saw this, she immediately took the jade pendant from his hand.
"Xia'er, how can you leave me!" The horse continued to hide his face and weep, but the corners of his mouth hidden under his shirt couldn't help but rise.
"This is the jade pendant I gave to the princess." Gu Yanbai said word by word.
"The deceased is gone, don't be too sad, it's better to take care of the eldest princess's aftermath as soon as possible." He endured the headache in his heart and admonished.
The horse trembled for a while, then lifted his sleeves and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and followed Gu Yanbai and a bunch of people back.
Mingyuexi silently followed behind the team, carefully thinking about the terrain of the princess's distress.
The carriage was halfway up the mountain, and the torrential rain did not fall until this morning, and the rain did not wash away so quickly, and buried most of the official road.
But the princess Yu Pei did find out here, did she really suffer an accident?
Mingyuexi sorted out her chaotic thoughts, and after thinking about it for a long time, she still didn't quite understand.
After returning home, Gu Yanbai walked side by side in the garden with her, her mood was a little sluggish, Mingyuexi was a little overwhelmed when she saw Gu Yanbai like this for the first time.
"You, don't be sad." She clumsily expressed her comfort, Gu Yanbai nodded, and held her hand tightly, the painful Mingyuexi wanted to beat people, but even if it was a special situation today, she wouldn't care about it.
"You say, will the eldest sister still be there?" Gu Yanbai looked at Mingyuexi and said such a sentence.
Mingyuexi was stunned after hearing this.
Eldest sister... It seems that Gu Yanbai attaches great importance to the eldest princess.
That jade pendant is the eldest princess's, so it is very likely that she died here.
However, when they all had the hope that the eldest princess was still alive, the princess's mansion sent someone to say that the concubine asked Gu Yanbai to help him assist in the princess's funeral.
Early in the morning, Gu Yanbai rushed to the princess's mansion, Mingyuexi and Gu Qianqian took a carriage together, and came to mourn after Gu Yanbai.
Everywhere you can see the princess's mansion is covered with white cloth, and in the center of the living room is the princess's tablet.
The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, and Ming Yuexi glanced at the concubine guarding the princess's tablet, his expression seemed to be different from that day at the princess's place of distress, and there was no sadness in his eyes.
"It's weird, I was so reluctant two days ago, how did I lose my sadness today."
Gu Qianqian, whose eyes were a little red from crying on the side, didn't know what Mingyuexi was muttering, and pulled her sleeve.
Gu Yanbai, who was on the side, saw the two of them, so he left the affairs in his hand and came over.
"Today's condolences, there are many ceremonies, you follow Qianqian, don't mess around." Gu Yanbai told him a lot, but Mingyuexi just listened, but her eyes kept staring at the horse.
The horse who finally felt Mingyuexi's gaze turned his head, and when he saw Mingyuexi's group, his expression immediately turned into a painful look, and the speed made Mingyuexi think that he was dazzled.
After coming forward to worship, the concubine and Gu Qianqian exchanged a few words, Mingyuexi suddenly felt sick to her stomach and wanted to go to the thatched house, so she followed the maid in the princess's mansion and left.
"Sister Princess, don't be too sad." Gu Qianqian wiped her tears as she spoke.
When she was a child, the princess's sister loved her like her own sister, but now, she left so suddenly, Gu Qianqian naturally couldn't accept it.
"I will." When the colt smelled the sadness, tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
After the greetings, the colt quietly left the mourning hall alone.
After solving the major events in her life, Mingyuexi decided to take a good stroll in the princess's mansion, after all, it was rare to come to the royal residence, so she naturally couldn't miss it.
Walking to the garden, Mingyuexi saw a familiar figure, and when she looked at it, it was a colt.
"Why didn't this pony come here to meet the worshippers in the mourning hall at the moment?"
Mingyuexi muttered to himself, curiosity driving him to follow the colt.
Walking to the depths of the garden, the colt turned his head to look, and Mingyue Creek, which was almost discovered, was hiding behind the rockery.
Fortunately, the colt did not notice, and he turned and hugged a woman who had been waiting here for a long time, looking extremely doting.
Mingyuexi's eyes widened suddenly.
It's really strange, obviously the pony showed a lot of affection for the princess that day, and she was moved.
I didn't expect to be in the garden now, hugging other women.
Royal secrets, she is a small ordinary person who really can't understand it.
However, there is one thing, Mingyuexi is certain, this colt did have a private meeting with other women at the princess's ceremony.
In order not to be discovered, Mingyuexi quietly left the garden, and outside the mourning hall, Gu Qianqian, who found Mingyuexi missing, was anxiously looking for her.
Seeing that Mingyuexi didn't look right, Gu Qianqian hurriedly grabbed her hand: "Xiaoxi, where did you go just now?" ”
Mingyuexi told her that she had just gone to the toilet and did not tell her about meeting others privately.
On the way back, Mingyuexi has been preoccupied.
If the princess knew how much it would have hurt her husband to see her husband hugging and embracing other women at her own ceremony.
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Yanbai, who was returning home with them, discovered the abnormality of Mingyue Creek and asked.
"It's fine."
She knew very well that Gu Yanbai had a deep relationship with the eldest princess, and if she told her, with his temperament, she would inevitably have to find trouble with the concubine.
Gu Yanbai saw that she didn't want to say, so he didn't ask any more.
The carriage returned to calm, and in the class, Gu Yanbai said quietly: "If you have anything unspeakable, don't be ashamed to speak, I can help, I will help you." ”
Mingyuexi raised her head and was a little moved when she heard these words.
Back at the Hou Mansion, she thought about it and decided to tell Gu Yanbai about it.
Sure enough, after Mingyuexi finished speaking, Gu Yanbai looked resentful, if she hadn't stopped her, she would have carried a sword to find the affectionate colt.
