Jingzhou, Shufu.

"Brother Yi, I put all the medicinal materials away and dried them." It has been a few months since Qi Anya returned to Jingzhou and looked at it in a blink of an eye. She often came to Shu Mansion with Qi Anrou, and she became familiar with the Shu family as soon as she came and went, and they no longer regarded her as the county lord, but like family.

Shu Yi learned medicine with Lang since he got better, and Shu's father encouraged him, so he made the backyard look like a small pharmacy. Qi Anya came again and again, but learned a lot from him. Qi Anrou often accompanied Shu's mother, and when they happened to pass by, they saw Shu Yi teaching Qi Anya to recognize new medicinal materials and uses. Qi Anrou helped her and said, "Look, how good you are now. ”

Shumu looked at her and nodded, but she had something on her mind. "Our Shu family can't stand your Qi family."

Qi Anrou knew that Qi Anya and Shu Yi had gotten along harmoniously in the past few days, if she wasn't the lord of Lingguo, she would have preferred her to be with Shu Yi. "The Qi family and the Shu family have always been close friends, how can our two families be compatible, sorry."

She paused before she said again: "Auntie's concerns, An Rou has never thought about it. It's just that the more noble her status is, how can she be as free as the Qi family. It was precisely because I didn't know her future path that I let her go back to Beijing and live more freely. ”

Shu's mother looked at her with a smile, and the two of them gradually approached the two of them, watching them quarrel and joke very interestingly. When Qi Anrou was about to say something, she saw a person hurrying from outside, not from Shufu, Qi Anrou had never seen it. Until the man knelt before them, the man did the courtesy.

Qi Anya heard the voice and looked up to see him. "Two Joys"

"County master, the minion is here."

"You're not waiting by the side of the second prince, what are you doing in Jingzhou." Qi Anya recognized this and often saw him beside the second prince Ling Huanyi.

The man did not hesitate, and immediately replied: "The second prince asked the slave to come and invite the county lord to return to Kyoto, Princess Muling is seriously ill, I am afraid it will not work." Please get up quickly, I'm afraid I won't have time to see the county lord for the last time. ”

The man said very quickly, which made Qi Anya's heart tighten, and the bamboo basket in his hand did not fall to the ground. She hesitated, her brows furrowed: "When did it happen, why haven't I heard of it?" ”

The man replied again: "The princess had a cold a few months ago, and the second prince visited her a few times, but it was not good, and it became more and more serious. The princess told the second prince in front of the bed that she missed the county lord very much, and the county lord should set off, and the slave did not dare to guarantee that this day would be enough. ”

Qi Anya heard his words and immediately wanted to walk outside the mansion, but the man hurriedly stood up and followed Qi Anya closely. Qi Anrou said goodbye to the two of them, and hurriedly ran to follow Qi Anya. Qi Anya didn't have the usual greetings when she met Shu's father in Fudao, her mind was full of Princess Muling, and her eyes didn't look at him. Just when he was puzzled, seeing that Qi Anrou also trotted over, she bowed without saying anything and ran to Qi Anya.

Kyoto

After Qi Anya came out of Shufu, she rushed to say goodbye to Qi's father and told her that she was going to Kyoto. Then Qi Anrou followed back home, and Qi's father saw that Qi Anya was in a hurry and was about to rush to Kyoto, so Qi Anrou followed to avoid anything going wrong in Kyoto.

They walked on the official road, and on the way to the post station to change horses a few times. It takes more than half a month from Jingzhou to Kyoto on weekdays, and Qi Anya is anxious to go to Kyoto to see Princess Muling for the last time, so that the entourage can rush without sleep, and it took five full days to arrive in Kyoto.

Qi Anya didn't rest, as soon as the carriage came, she went directly to Princess Muling's house. She had just arrived at the front of the house when she heard crying from inside. She suddenly lost her soul, and took two steps before stepping into the threshold of the room. When she went in and approached them slowly, she saw the maids and servants all kneeling on the ground, looking down at the ground, and weeping bitterly. When she walked to the bed, she saw Princess Muling lying quietly with her eyes closed, as if she had fallen asleep.

She reached out and touched her arm, feeling her hand cold, she couldn't hold back any longer, she had to admit in her heart, tears had wet her cheeks. "Auntie, Anya has come to see you, Auntie, wake up, Auntie, can you open your eyes?"

Qi Anrou, who had been following her, was by her side and comforted: "Ya'er, my aunt has gone." ”

Qi Anya had already admitted this fact in her heart, but she didn't want to admit it this time, she turned to look at her and said, "No, no"

She turned to look at Princess Muling on the bed again, and cried, "Auntie, please, please wake up." Anya will never leave you again, and she will never return to Jingzhou again. Auntie, please."

Qi Anrou was a little helpless, she didn't know how to appease Qi Anya's mood at this time. When she was thinking of other ways, she heard a middle-aged man behind her say, "Lord Wang, the time has come." ”

Qi Anrou turned around and stood up, looking at the person on the bed. Not long after she went, she was going to lie down in the cold coffin, and soon she was buried in the burial ground, and her next life was about to begin. When Qi Anrou came into the house, she didn't find that there was another person in front of the couch, the new Muling King Wang Yijun.

When Wang Yijun watched Qi Anya come in a hurry, his face was full of pain, and his heart should have the same pain as her. Ben didn't know what to do to relieve her pain. Uncle Sun, the head of the house, came to tell Ji Shi. He knew that if he missed the auspicious time, he would not be good to the people on the couch after all, so he held Qi Anya in his arms with one hand and locked her tightly in his arms. shouted in his mouth: "Uncle Sun, what are you still doing in a daze?"

Uncle Sun first shook his head, and then let the minions behind him do things, and eight people carried them into the coffin. Qi Anya knew that he had caught his motive, and Qi Anrou watched their movements in a panic. They put Princess Mu Ling into the funeral, Qi Anya looked at all this, she shook her head, but her whole body couldn't move. "No, no. You let go of me, I beg you to let go of me, my aunt is not dead, my aunt is not dead. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Forgive me, forgive me. Wang Yijun locked her in his arms tighter, no matter how she broke free, she didn't let go of anything.

When the subordinates finished burying Princess Muling, they all knelt in front of Princess Muling in the coffin and bowed three times. After getting up, the lid of the coffin was covered, and it was about to be nailed. Qi Anya shook his head and said, "Don't, don't." Don't"

Wang Yijun locked her tightly in his arms, watched the person finish nailing the coffin lid, and said loudly: "Uncle Sun, hurry up and carry her to the main hall, speed." ”

When Uncle Sun heard his voice, he was much more indifferent than usual, and immediately took the eight people out. When he reached the threshold, Wang Yijun felt pain in his left arm and inadvertently let go of his hand. Qi Anya first fell to the ground, and then ran to the coffin to stop it, and Qi Anya also ran to help Qi Anya when she saw this. Seeing this, Wang Yijun also ran, grabbed her again, and scolded loudly: "Go, hurry up." ”

Qi Anya watched the coffin carried away in front of her, she was unwilling, she cried bitterly but couldn't break away from him, she shouted in pain: "I hate you, Wang Yijun, I hate you." You let go of me, let go of me. ”

Wang Yijun gritted his teeth, knocked her neck, and when he saw her fainting on top of him, he immediately picked her up. Qi Anrou saw all this and said, "Ya'er, Ya'er." ”

Wang Yijun stood up with her in his arms and said, "Anya, I'm sorry"

He looked at Qi Anrou beside him again, and said: "Anrou, in order to make my aunt's funeral normal, I wronged you to take care of her in the guest room, and I will personally make amends to her after the funeral." ”

After that, he hugged Qi Anya and walked out, and Qi Anrou listened to his words and followed him to the guest room.
