Chapter 84: The Funeral (2)
Wang Zixi didn't know what to say at this time, he knew that he suspected that Fu Yu's suspicions were not above board, and this matter was not necessarily Fu Yu's doing! But Fu Yu ordered those people to carry the coffin to the temple outside the palace, didn't it mean that he already knew that there was something wrong with the body?
Of course, this is just speculation, and looking at the expression on Fu Cheng's face, he is only suspicious, and there is no way to be 100% sure.
Fu Cheng untied the cloak on his body, it turned out that he was still carrying a burden on his back, which seemed to contain something, looking bulging.
Wang Zixi moved to cover the wound on Song Dusheng's wrist, but Fu Cheng stopped him: "You let me come!" ”
Wang Zixi leaned sideways, watched Fu Cheng untie the burden on his body, and took out a set of clothes from the baggage, this dress was a light blue coat, dark blue embroidery, this dress looked new and had not been worn.
Fu Cheng started to change his clothes, but Song Dusheng's body was stiff and he couldn't wear it, and Wang Zixi tried to help but was rejected again.
In this way, he changed the clothes he was carrying to Song Dusheng with difficulty, and then put Song Dusheng back into the coffin.
How difficult this whole process is, Wang Zixi can see that it is naturally a little difficult to drag Song Dusheng, a person who is much taller than him, to listen to Fu Cheng, who is short and thin, and Wang Zixi can only stand on the sidelines and watch.
After Fu Cheng did all this, he clapped his hands with satisfaction, then went to the altar to take three sticks of incense, knelt in front of the golden statue of the Buddha and bowed three times, kowtowed three heads, and clasped his hands together: "Ask God to bring his words to him." The biggest mistake I made in my life was to be the emperor, I sat on the emperor's position, and I missed you when I met you, if there is a next life, if there is really a next life, I hope to use the rest of my life in this life in exchange, and I will stay with you in the next life! ”
Naturally, these words were said to Song Dusheng, Wang Zixi faintly felt a little sad, there is no way to change life and death, and the power of people is still too small after all.
Wang Zixi couldn't say words of consolation, he patted Fu Cheng's shoulder, and said in the center of his voice: "Don't think too much, maybe all this is our blind guess, after all, there is no evidence that the person who killed Song Dusheng is Fu Yu, and it is useless for us to suspect it groundlessly!" ”
Although Fu Cheng was a little unwilling and hung his head in annoyance, the light of hatred in his eyes could not be persuaded by Wang Zixi.
"Alright, don't say anything, let's go back!" Fu Cheng was already tired, and he couldn't hang his head and said, "Okay, let's go back!" ”
Fu Cheng and Wang Zixi didn't communicate too much all the way back, Wang Zixi was in a cold sweat, the more silent, the more she couldn't calm her heart, on the one hand, he doubted Fu Yu, on the other hand, he tried his best to explain Fu Yu in front of obedience, he felt annoyed that he had just said all his guesses. He should put these speculations in his heart, and should not say them directly, he frowned and followed Fu Cheng back to the palace sullenly, and when parting, Fu Cheng also specially told her not to tell anyone about the actions of the two of them tonight.
Wang Zixi nodded and went back to sleep.
The next day, naturally, a funeral was held for Song Dusheng.
The funeral of their court officials after the death of their loyalty to the country is to be held in a big way, this grand event does not only refer to the ceremony, it is necessary to bathe, change clothes, burn incense, fast, worship the gods and worship the gods of the ancestors three days in advance, and then hold a banquet in accordance with the legislative regulations to invite the feudal generals from all over the country to enter the palace to participate in the funeral, in fact, these feudal generals will enter the palace not only to participate in the funeral, but also through this opportunity to win people's hearts, so as to expand their own power opportunities.
Now Wang Zixi has a big headache, he has never participated in such a large-scale event, even in modern society, this kind of large-scale event can only stand in the corner and watch it secretly, and now its status in ancient times has become noble because of Fu Yu, and because he is a favored person who serves by Fu Cheng's side, he also has the opportunity to take a look at such a grand ceremony.
According to common sense, the first three days of the funeral are fasting days, these three days the emperor needs to bathe, change clothes, burn incense, fast, and only eat vegetarian meals, sit in front of the golden Buddha statue burning sandalwood to copy the Heart Sutra or Dafan Sutra, and copy and recite silently for three days, Fu Yu will not do this kind of thing in person before, and will hand over the copying task to the maids or eunuchs around him, but now he sits honestly in front of the table, bowing his head and drawing one stroke at a time, copying word by word, Some of these scriptures he copied were to be placed under the pillow of the dead Song Dusheng, and the other part was to be burned with the dew that morning.
Wang Zixi hated such a tedious process, but he hated this feeling of uneasiness even more now.
Fu Yu only entered the palace at noon the next day, and from a distance, she was standing on the bluestone slab in the backyard of the palace, and the figure on the street was still standing tall, but when she looked closely, she found that her eyes were faintly black, as if she hadn't slept well for several days.
Wang Zixi knew that he shouldn't doubt Fu Yu, maybe he was suspicious, but no matter who saw the results of the autopsy, he would put his heart on Fu Yu!
The sun shone warmly on Fu Yu's body, Fu Yu squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Wang Zixi who was standing next to the garden fence, and walked over slowly, Fuxiu slowly walked towards Wang Zixi, Wang Zixi unconsciously took a step back, maybe it was the inferiority complex that was at work, he always felt that he and Fu Yu should not be people of the same position and the same class, he always felt that he was a head lower than Fu Yu, and when facing Fu Yu, he habitually turned his face away or lowered his eyes, which were all problems that she developed after leaving the palace, She used to live in the palace and never cared so much.
Who knew that he retreated too quickly, didn't pay attention to the steps behind him and almost tripped over, then when he was about to fall, she was so frightened that she closed her eyes, but his ass didn't touch the hard bluestone slab bricks, he felt something hold his waist, he opened his eyes and found that Fu Yu's face was close at hand.
His face turned red immediately, and he was as shy as a shy little girl and wanted to push Fu Yu away.
Fu Yu put one hand around Wang Zixi's waist, and with the other hand, he grabbed Wang Zixi's outstretched arm, raised the corners of his lips slightly and asked, "What are you doing?" Do you want to give it a hug? ”
House West pursed his lips and was eager to withdraw his wrist from Fu Yu's hand, and he was not in the mood to joke with Fu Yu at all.
"Let it go! Let me go first! Wang Zixi spoke a little impatiently, with an impatient tone.
Fu Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure?" ”
"I'm sure! I'll let you let me go! ”
Fu Yu put his arm around Wang Zixi's waist and took it back, the moment he took it back, Wang Zixi seemed to understand something, but it was too late, he fell hard on the steps of the bluestone slab, this time it really hurt him, he covered his ass and glared at Fu Yu viciously: "You did it on purpose, right?" Do you think it's a lot of fun to bully me? ”
"Nope!" After Fu Yu finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and dragged Wang Zixi, who was sitting on the ground, up, "It's just that I haven't seen you alone for a long time, and I just miss you a little!" ”
Wang Zixi didn't have much touch for these affectionate words, because he couldn't understand Fu Yu, and he began to doubt whether what Fu Yu said was true or false.
"But I don't want you! I want you to stay away from me! ”
Fu Yu was accustomed to such cold words, he shook his head, stretched out his hand to caress Wang Zixi's cheek, his eyes were full of sadness, and he seemed to be a little lost and said: "I thought you would miss me too!" ”
Wang Zixi shook him off, turned around angrily and was about to leave, but was stopped by Fu Yu: "Axi, don't hate me anymore, okay, the two of us get back together!" No matter what you want me to do, no matter what you want, even if you want to kill me, I will rely on you, as long as you don't hate me! ”
Wang Zixi didn't know where the hateful word in Fu Yu's mouth started, he just wanted to escape from Fu Yu, but he couldn't talk about any hatred at all.
Wang Zixi didn't bother to listen, he continued to say this, turned around and was about to leave, and heard him say again: "Wait for me in the back garden of the palace in the evening!" ”
Wang Zixi left like this, although Fu Yu was a little lost, he could probably guess Wang Zixi, what should you be thinking about at the moment, Wang Zixi was still suspicious of him, so he wanted to escape from him.
Fu Yu was inevitably a little sad, and walked quietly along the bluestone street outside the Xuanwu Gate of the Imperial Palace.
And at this time, Gu Qing was about to enter the palace, and when he hurriedly passed through the Xuanwu Gate, he happened to collide with the lost and depressed Fu Yu, Gu Qing was only a little shorter than Fu Yu, but his body was not as strong as Fu Yu's body, as long as he bumped into Gu Qing head-on, he was naturally the one who fell.
Gu Qing was a little dissatisfied, stood up from the ground, patted the soil on his buttocks, and was just about to scold, but he saw clearly who the person in front of him in brocade clothes was, he had to swallow the dissatisfaction in his heart back into his stomach, and then changed his smiling face, and said to Fu Yu with a smile: "Oh, I haven't seen Lord Yu for a few days, your face is much worse, could it be that Wang Zixi thinks about it?" Our family's Ah Xi has always done his own thing, and he has always been very willful, and today he finally learned from others that he was willful and reckless! ”
Fu Yu raised his eyes and looked at Gu Qing, Gu Qing was wearing an official uniform as if he was going to enter the palace to face the saint, Fu Yu asked with some displeasure: "Where are you going in such a hurry?" ”
Gu Qing deliberately wanted to sell him a pass: "Of course it's the palace!" ”
"Who are you going to?" Fu Yu is still staring at it.
"You are asking knowingly, I naturally went into the palace to find the emperor, are you fooling around with me? Of course, I can also take this opportunity to enter the palace to take a good look at Wang Zixi, he has been getting thinner and thinner these days! ”
