Chapter 61: Orphans

In the early morning, the sun rises in the east as usual.

In the Yin Palace, under the radiance, the white snow is particularly dazzling, and it is slowly melting.

In the garden of the West Pavilion, there was a man lying on the ground.

It was a man covered in blood.

His body was already stiff, his arms were slightly arched, and he still maintained the posture of holding a sword, and if he looked closely, he could see that there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

In the Huayang Palace, on the side of the Qingyu case, Emperor Yin was correcting the folds.

The guards came to the palace to report: "Your Majesty, the guards Chongye died violently in the West Pavilion!" ”

Emperor Yin's eyebrows furrowed, and he slowly raised his head.

"Why?"

The person who replied lowered his head, and hesitated a little between his words, "...... As if seeking revenge, the heavy guard was covered in scars, and was pierced through the chest with a sword, and died with a sword. ”

The person on the case held his forehead and was silent for a long time.

"Order, go down and investigate the matter thoroughly," his voice looked very tired, with a hint of sadness, "and ...... Allocated the pension money from the inner court, and Xiao Xiazi personally sent it to the important mansion to comfort the important people on my behalf. ”

"Yes......"

Overnight, the white silk of the heavy poplin was all over the place.

The important man was only fifty years old, standing straight in front of the spirit, his beard was white, but his posture was still strong, with a strict neatness. Because of the perennial holding of the sword in his hand, he has developed thick calluses.

Chongye is his only son.

At this moment, he was wearing a pitch-black robe and thick black boots, standing straight in front of the spirit, his face was very sad.

He's been standing here for a day and a night.

The thieves sought revenge in the Ouchi Palace, and also killed a royal guard, this word is really ugly!

Early yesterday morning.

After Father-in-law Xia left, Ying Yan, who was beside the Queen Mother, came with the palace people.

"My lord, the festival mourning is changing, and the Queen Mother is also very sad when she hears about it, but in order to take care of the overall situation, this matter should not be publicized, mourning and condolences can be avoided, and the relatives can cry in front of the mourning hall."

His heart ached, but he still knelt down.

"Yes, the old minister thanked the Queen Mother."

But at the age of sixteen, he became a guard, and at the age of forty, he was disarmed and returned to the house, how could he really not know the darkness in the palace?

The old tears fell, and the tears slipped down again in the cloudy eyes.

It's providence!

Behind the coffin in the mourning hall, there was also a person sitting. She was covered in tears, her teeth clenched tightly to her lips, and she struggled not to cry out.

This man has been sitting here for a day and a night.

In her mind, his face before his death kept coming to her mind.

His heroic appearance when he practiced swordsmanship, his playful stupidity and seriousness, his courage when he protected his sister, and his stubbornness and uprightness when he was punished by his parents......

But all this, starting last night, has disappeared since then.

The person who loves her the most in the world is dead!

"Master, you mourn and change, and the minions still need you."

A family member brought several stacks of white paper and burned them quietly in front of the spirit, without realizing that two tears fell from his eyes.

The man standing in front of the spirit nodded.

Twenty-one days later.

Coffin burial.

It's night, and the frost is blowing in the wind.

Chong Lao sat alone in the study, and put Chongye's family letter on the desk, he slowly opened it, sealed it carefully, and the corner of the letter had been ground out by his fingers with a thin layer of frizz, and some sweat stains were yellow.

Outside the window, the cold wind was blowing, and the window lattice rattled.

The candlelight flickered in the room.

The person on the side of the desk turned a deaf ear, his wrist trembled, old tears were horizontal, the turbid liquid "clicked" and dripped on the letterhead, the ink was blurred, and he hurriedly rolled up his sleeve to wipe it.

Liuli looked sad.

She walked over and knelt straight in front of the desk, her head hanging and a low choked throat.

"Father, it's Ruri who is sorry for you."

Hearing a voice, he slowly raised his head, it was only more than 20 days, he looked as if he was 20 years old, and he was already like an old man.

The resolute face was full of tears at the moment.

Seeing the kneeling man on the ground, he hurriedly got up to help: "I can't help it...... Princess, please get up quickly, I can't stand it......"

The people of the earth were ashamed and hung their heads lower.

She leaned down and crawled on the cold tiles, unable to suppress the pain in her heart, and began to cry bitterly.

"Hurry up......"

"It's so cold on the ground, you have an old illness in your body, get up quickly......"

"Father! It's Li'er's fault, it's all Li'er's fault, it's me who hurt Brother Chongye, it's me who insisted on entering the palace, and it's me who caused my brother's identity to be exposed, it's all my fault......"

"If I was willing to listen to my father and stay in this mansion for the rest of my life, Brother Chongye would not have ...... It's me...... It's all me! ”

"Alas......"

An old sigh rang out in the room.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, since ancient times, 'one life for one life', this may be Ye'er's fate!"

Ruri's heart throbbed, and her red and swollen eyes were bloodshot.

He looked out the window and bent over to help her up.

"It's not too late to regret it now, I said a long time ago, the grievances and grievances of the previous generation will be buried! Wouldn't it be good to stop from now on, find a husband to marry, and have a heavy mansion to rely on for you, and spend this life in peace and stability? ”

"Father...... I ......"

"I am already an elder brother, and I have made up my mind not to marry outside!"

When the important person heard this, his cloudy eyes widened.

The body then retreated, fell on the Taishi's chair, and raised his head and cried.

"Iniquity...... ...... iniquity"

The people on the ground kowtowed three times, and said with firm eyes: "Father, I have been in love with Chongye for a long time and gave birth to a son, and now that my brother has passed away, this child is entrusted to my father!" ”

She looked up, tears streaming down her face.

"I hope my father will raise him and live a safe life!"

"You ...... Alas! ”

"Hurry up!"

Liuli raised a pair of crystal eyes and said stubbornly: "No...... If her father didn't agree, Li'er kept kneeling. ”

"Since it is Ye'er's flesh and blood, how can there be no mother?"

"Li'er, you promised your father that you won't step out of this mansion again!"

The people of the earth bowed their heads and were silent.

Heavy old and heartbroken.

"As a guard of the Yin Palace, I risked the danger of raiding your family and exterminating the clan to save you, and I invested many years of hard work, and I also put Ye'er in, I don't want to watch you die in vain! Not to mention ......"

"What's more, if Ye'er is still alive, I don't want to see you in danger!"

Speaking of Chongye, his face became more and more painful.

"Father! I'm not reconciled...... I'm not reconciled......"

She slowly lifted her clothes and turned her back.

A long scar winds on the back, which is shocking to look at!

"Do you remember this scar?"

"If you had been one step late, I would have become a ghost under the thief's knife, and the poisonous woman had harmed my mother and concubine Jiang Shiman, and she had done such a poisonous hand to me, and now she has killed Brother Chongye, why...... Why do I have to give in......"

"Let it go! Listen to a word of persuasion and let it go, huh? ”

"No!"

Those eyes were full of despair, loneliness and pain.

She raised her head, gritted her teeth and said, "Father, since this is the case, the child will be entrusted to you, and I am also worthy of Brother Chongye...... Li'er, thank you father for saving her life back then! ”

Three prostrations rang out from the ground.

When the old man turns his head, where is there anyone in front of him?

On the second day, when the family opened the door, a swaddling baby cried in front of the house.
