Chapter 31: The Afterglow of the Moon Stains Autumn Flowers
In front of him is the dark coffin of King Zhao's lying corpse, in front of the coffin is a boy and girl made of bamboo paper, the white paper face is dotted with cinnabar, and the eyes of the lacquered soulless are looking straight ahead. The empty mourning hall, the lonely shadow under the candlelight, and the shadow of the banner floating in the sky, scattered on the ground little by little, Bai Sensen is still eerie and terrifying under the night.
Mo Han turned a blind eye to the environment, and since the morning, he has been thinking about one thought, that is, to open the coffin and take a look at King Zhao, the last time he saw him, or when Nian Fang sent him back, at that time, King Zhao had already become a corpse!
Mo Han felt heartache when he thought about it, since his father died, he hadn't looked at him yet, and the small coffin cut off their world, and since then Yin and Yang have been separated.
I still can't bear to face it now, but in a few days I will send him to the ground for peace, and he wants to see his father for the last time and do the last thing for him!
Mo Han got up, kneeling for too long, his legs were numb, and he walked with a little limp, but he didn't feel anything.
He walked out of the mourning hall and went to the courtyard next door, there was a well in the corner of the courtyard, he took a wooden basin from the well, put down the bucket to draw water, filled half a basin of water, and then returned to the mourning hall with this half basin of water.
Mo Han walked directly to the back of the stop with the water, put the basin on the flat bench next to the coffin, wiped off the water stains stuck to his hands, and Mo Han stood still in the coffin.
His eyes were fixed on the coffin, and he reached out to touch the smooth lid of the coffin, thinking faintly that it was just a wooden plank, but because of its existence, he could no longer see his father!
'Wow ·······'
The silence of the night was broken by the muffled cry of the coffin, and in the dead mourning hall, it was strange because of this movement, as if the deceased was patrolling the night, and he couldn't help but feel chills in his ears when he heard it!
The moment he opened the coffin, he saw Mo Hongyuan's cold corpse in front of him, looking at the person lying inside, his gray face was still familiar to him, but his closed eyes cut off the breath of life.
Mo Han's hand clutched on the coffin, this time he verified with his own eyes the fact that his father was dead, this time, he had to accept the reality of his father's absence!
Yu Yi! Yu Yi! Yu Yi······ Mo Han angrily shouted the name of the enemy who killed his father over and over again in his heart!
"He is my father's enemy, not my allegiance, father, I understand your position, whether you agree with it or not, I will not give up on this matter!"
The eyes that fell on Mo Hongyuan were full of cruelty, and his eyes were full of crimson, almost dripping blood.
Mo Han didn't say too much in front of Mo Hongyuanling, walked to the basin, wrung out the towels inside, folded them neatly into squares, walked to the coffin, and wiped the cold towel on the colder face.
Mo Han stared at this face that had been with him for twenty years, holding a towel, starting from his eyebrows, running a little bit along the angular face, not letting go of any subtle places, gently wiping his face, and cleaning his face for the last time, and the only time.
"I still remember when I was a child, I went to see my mother, and you said that you were busy with official business and couldn't leave, so let me go alone. And that day happened to be the mother's birthday, but even if you weren't there, the mother still thought it was a happy birthday, do you know why? ”
While wiping his face for him, Mo Han talked about the past, thinking back to that time, Mo Han's face showed a look like crying and laughing.
The towel was thrown back into the basin, and then helped him sort out the shroud on his body, Mo Hongyuan was dressed exquisitely before his death, and he couldn't see the wrinkles on his clothes the most, although there would be no wrinkles when lying in the coffin now, Mo Han still meticulously helped him sort out the clothes on his body.
Mo Han raised his stiff arm, straightened his wrinkled sleeve robe, and continued to talk to himself: "Because at that time, we all knew that you went to Jing Si Zhai, and Jin Ge and I saw you hiding in the backyard. The mother said that you were too stupid, and although she didn't see you, she was happy because of your arrival, and she had a good time that day. For me to say, "Father, you are very ······ indeed."
He wanted to say, 'You are indeed stupid', however, before he finished speaking, Mo Han suddenly lost his words, and his crimson eyes were full of shock at this time.
Incredibly raised Mo Hongyuan's stiff arm, thin as a man, and his robe was lifted on his body, which was extremely loose...
Mo Hongyuan is tall, not thin or fat, he belongs to the type of moderate figure, why does the longevity clothes that he ordered after his death look wide on him? This kind of leniency has nothing to do with clothes, clothes that are specially tailored to him, worn on him, clearly ill-fitting?
At this time, a terrible thought came to Mo Han's mind......
Throwing away Mo Hongyuan's arm in disbelief, Mo Han didn't bother to cover the coffin, and rushed out with arrows, before he left the mourning hall, he only heard him shout: "Transport, prepare a fast horse immediately!" ”

······
In the capital at that time, there were no pedestrians on the road, people closed their doors, turned off the lights to rest, and in the dead of night, they occasionally heard the sound of the watchman 'Bangbang'!
Tonight, the capital was shrouded in a thin layer of fog, and the husband yawned and looked at the distant scene, and the hazy peek at the nearby scene.
However, as he yawned, he suddenly heard a neighing of horses in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves galloping like crust on the earth.
The husband plucked out his ears and did not sleep for most of the night, where did the sound of horses' hooves come from, he suspected that he had heard it wrong.
However, as the sound of horses' hooves approached him, a pair of bean's eyes still looked curiously at the main way.
At this time, he saw a black horse breaking through the fog and galloping in this direction, the horse was running so fast that the man on the horse's back could not be seen clearly, and only saw a fluttering white coat riding away in front of him.
The husband struck a spirit, and when he was eating supper, of course he did not think that he had hit a ghost, but he could tell from the speed of the horse the madness of the rider.
It can't be that the horse is startled, and the people above can't control it, right? But the direction of his sprint is the forbidden palace garden, and if he doesn't break into the palace gate, it is a big crime to kill his head!
The palace gate leading to the imperial city was all closed at this time, and the patrol team patrolled under the city wall, and the team was connected from end to end, with almost no interval in between, always vigilantly observing the surrounding environment, and did not dare to relax for a moment.
They didn't expect that at the main gate of the imperial city at this hour, there would be a sound of slamming the door, as well as a roar of shouting at them, 'Open the door, open the door'.
Who's coming? The guards looked at each other, what kind of place did he think this was, and he said that he would open the door when he opened the door, his own home?
Some guards heard the identity of the person from the voice, walked up to the guard's eldest brother, and said, "Boss, the person outside seems to be Zhao Shizi!" ”
The boss of the guards also heard that this was Mo Han's voice, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he stepped forward to open the city gate, and sure enough, Zhao Shizi stood outside the city gate with a red face, obviously, it was a red light that came out in a hurry.
"Lord Shizi, entered the palace so late but was summoned?"
The eldest brother who guarded the door asked as usual, if it weren't for the emperor's edict, even if the person who came was the son of the world, they would definitely not let him in.
Mo Han didn't talk nonsense, he took out the token directly from his waist and put it in front of the guard's eyes, the guard's eldest brother looked at the token, his face was sincerely frightened, Vino said: "I don't know the identity of the adult, the villain has no eyes, the adult please come in." ”
As he spoke, he led the others out of the way.
Mo Han strode into the Forbidden Palace and walked towards the destination of this trip unimpeded.
