The emperor has already said so, what else can Concubine Li say, so she had to nod her head and cry silently, and the third prince on the side saw her mother crying sadly, and also comforted Concubine Li: "Mother, what my father said is right, Yu'er believes that Uncle Ruler will be fine, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your younger brothers and sisters in the womb!" ”

"It's still Yu'er sensible." The emperor was pleased to stroke the head of the third prince with his big hand.

The third prince helped Concubine Li slowly back to Chuxiu Palace, the emperor looked at the back of Concubine Li's mother and son leaving, his eyes narrowed, and he instructed Li Sheng next to him: "Li Sheng, secretly send someone to investigate to see if An Shuangchi is really sick." ”

"No." Li Sheng received the order, and just as he was about to leave, he saw the leader of the Praetorian Guard hurriedly walk in.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent letter from Beiding, please take a look at it."

"Li Sheng, come up quickly."

"No."

The emperor hurriedly opened the letter and found that it was An Shuangchi's death, he never thought that An Shuangchi would die so soon.

The emperor looked at the letter repeatedly, but found nothing suspicious, it seems that An Shuangchi is really dead this time.

"The order went down, General An Shuang Chi An worked hard for the country and the people, unfortunately contracted a serious illness on the way back to the dynasty and died, I was deeply saddened and decided to mourn for General An for three days, and I am grateful for his loyalty and courage to entitle An Shuangchi as the general who protects the country."

The emperor pretended to be heartbroken and issued a holy decree.

Li Sheng on the side listened to it and hurriedly went to issue the will.

As soon as Concubine Li and the third prince walked to Chuxiu Palace, news came that General An was seriously ill and died.

After Concubine Li heard this, she fainted on the spot, "Mother, mother." ”

Qiaohui, who was in Rong Fangxuan, was also taken aback when they heard the news of An Shuangchi's death, and finally sighed with emotion, and the great general of Rong Ma's life sacrificed his life for the country.

The Queen Mother of the Cixiang Palace was reciting the scriptures in the room, and when the eunuch came to the news of An Shuang's late death, her heart paused slightly, and then she began to read the scriptures again.

For a while, the news of An Shuang's late death spread throughout the palace, and even Princess Xi in the Fragrance Hall was shocked.

Su Xi has been forced by the imperial grandmother to learn some female workers in recent days, because the imperial grandmother said that female workers are a necessary skill for every woman, so that she will not be looked down upon when she marries into her husband's family, Su Xi is full of joy embroidering an orchid purse, full of joy waiting for the triumphant return of that person, never thought that he waited for half a year but waited for his death, Su Xi was stunned, the needle accidentally pierced into her finger, and the blood beads that flowed out soaked the orchid on the purse in Su Xi's hand, which looked as enchanting as a red rose.

"Princess, are you alright, princess?" Mulan saw that Su Xi's hands were covered with blood, and she was frightened on the side, so she hurriedly found some medicine for Su Xi.

However, at this time, the pain in Su Xi's fingers had long been unable to compare with the pain in his heart.

"How could An Shuangchi die? Why did you die? Su Xi's tears couldn't stop flowing.

Mulan watched Princess Xi crying from the side, and her mood also became sad: "I heard that Gonggong Sheng next to the emperor said that General An was unfortunately infected with the plague on the way back to Beijing and died. ”

"An Shuangchi, you bastard!" Su Xi was angry and tore the purse embroidered for An Shuangchi, and Mulan couldn't help but be shocked when she saw it: This is such a purse embroidered by the princess's hard-working female worker for half a year! All the princess's thoughts are overturned on this purse, and now she is torn up, and it seems that the princess is more sad than dead!

"This must not be true, this palace is going to ask my father to understand, it's not true, it's not true!" Su Xi ran out like a madman, still muttering 'this is not true'.

"Princess." Mulan was worried that Su Xi would get into trouble if she was emotional, so she also ran out.

"Princess Creek has arrived." The emperor, who was in the imperial study, was not surprised when he heard Su Xi coming, but what he didn't expect was that the first person who heard the news and came to him was not Concubine Li, not the third prince but Su Xi.

"Xi'er." The emperor was slightly stunned when he saw Su Xi, who ran in with tears on his face: "Xi'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

When Su Xi saw the emperor, his tears flowed even more.

"Father, my son-in-law heard that General An died, is this true?"

The emperor looked at Su Xi's gaze with a hint of hope, sighed, and nodded: "Yes, General An unfortunately fell seriously ill and died. ”

After speaking, the strength on the emperor's body seemed to be drained, and he sat on the chair decadently.

When Su Xi heard the true answer from the emperor's mouth, he cried out in pain: "Father, you tell your sons, this is not true, why does God take away the people I like one by one?" Why? ”

"Su Xi!" The emperor looked at Princess Xi, who was like a madman in front of him, frowned unhappily, and roared angrily: "Do you still look like a princess?" ”

This is the first time that the emperor has called Princess Xi's name, and it can be seen how angry the emperor is at this time.

I thought that Princess Xi would be afraid of the emperor's warning, but who knew that she actually laughed stupidly: "Erchen would rather not be this princess, but also change General An back." ”

"What? You....... The emperor was not lightly angered by Su Xi's words, and pointed at Su Xi speechless.

"Father, don't blame your sons for being so ignorant today." Su Xi sucked the red nose that was already crying and looked at the emperor and said: "Erchen has no mother since he was a child, and he is under the fence, although he is deeply loved by his father and grandmother, but he is not his biological mother after all, he is not his biological mother, so Xi'er will pretend to be very strong in the dead of night, since Xi'er met General An in the apricot blossom light rain that year, Xi'er knows that he is protected, and the person he loves will be sweeter than honey, and now that General An is dead, Xi'er has no courage to live." ”

Listening to Princess Xi's confession, the emperor looked at Princess Xi in shock: "Xi'er, you have never told your father about these things. ”

Princess Xi wiped her tears: "My father is the king of a country, and there are many opportunities for the day, how can Xi'er use such a trivial matter to disturb my father?" ”

"Xi'er." The emperor stood up and walked to Princess Xi's side, hugging the daughter he had always felt indebted.

"It's all because my father is not good, my father didn't understand your thoughts, but my father promised you that he would definitely find a good family for you."

"Erchen thanks his father, but Erchen has decided not to marry General An in this life, and Erchen will go to Chanlin Temple to chant and pray for General An for three years."

"Xi'er, why are you doing this?" The emperor looked at the daughter in front of him sadly, as if his daughter in the palm of his hand had grown up overnight.

"The son's mind has been decided, and the father should not persuade him again." Princess Xi withdrew from the emperor's arms and saluted the emperor: "Erchen has just offended a lot and hopes that his father and the emperor will forgive him, so Erchen will go back to prepare for going to Zenlin Temple, and retire first!" ”

The emperor looked at Princess Xi's unwavering figure and sighed, he is a good emperor for the people of the world, but he is not a good father for Xi'er!

Mo Qingrou, who was far away in Beiding, prepared a coffin for An Shuangchi according to the doctor's instructions, who knew that just after being prepared, An Shuangchi ran out of breath.

"Frost late, frost late." Mo gently hugged An Shuangchi's 'corpse' and cried movingly.

When Beidinghou heard the news, he rushed over, and saw Mo gently hugging An Shuangchi's 'corpse' crying and fainting.

"Come on, quickly help Madame's back to the room, find a doctor to show her, and the others will prepare for General An's funeral."

"It's still not bothering Master Hou, Madame has already handed over the affairs of General An to the last general." Zhang Liangyu appeared at the right time, and he ordered General An to be carried into the coffin, and they decided to transport General An's body back to the capital.

"Shipped back to the capital? It is more than a month's journey from the capital, and even if it is a quick horse, it will take half a month's trip, and I hope that Vice General Zhang will think twice. ”

When the Marquis of Beiding heard that Zhang Liangyu was going to transport An Shuangchi's body back to the capital thousands of miles away, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"What's more, General An died of the plague, and if the body is not disposed of, the army will also be implicated."

Bei Dinghou pointed out the problem, and Zhang Liangyu hesitated.

"In this ......, General An's body will always be transported back so that the emperor can give an explanation!"

"At this point, Vice General Zhang can rest assured, Ben Hou will repair the book to explain the reason to the emperor."

Zhang Liangyu thought about it, and also felt that Beidinghou's words were not unreasonable, so he agreed to Beidinghou's good policy.

Mo Qingrou woke up after being helped back to the room by the maid.

The two maids saw Mo Qingrou wake up and said softly to Mo: "Madam, how do you feel?" The doctor will be here soon, so you can lie down and rest. ”

The tears on Mo Qingrou's face had not yet dried, and he shook his head at the two maids and ordered: "You guys go out first, I want to be quiet alone!" ”

"No."

After a while, Mo Qingrou saw the figures of the two maids getting farther and farther away, and jumped out of bed suddenly.

"Haha, this girl's acting skills are not covered." Mo touched his nose softly and beautifully.

"Xiao An'an, when the person is gone, you can come out mellowly."

Mo sat at the table gently, crossed Erlang's legs, drank tea, and said to the screen in front of him.

After a long time, when Concubine Fang thought that the person was gone, the person behind the screen slowly walked out.

"Oh? How is it frost late? I was just calling it the night, huh? Mo took a sip of tea softly, deliberately teasing An Shuangchi.

An Shuangchi glared at the smug Mo Qingrou angrily: "Who did you say you just called?" ”

"Dark night! What's wrong? Mo gently picked up a green grape on the table and put it in his mouth.

"You call him a little dark?"

Mo nodded softly and looked at An Shuangchi suspiciously: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

"Good, good." An Shuangchi said this sentence in a vague voice.
