The surrounding officials knelt on the ground, and the huge Ningkun Palace was silent.

Baili Jun knelt on the ground in a daze, only feeling that the whole person was like being in an ice cellar, some time ago he was still immersed in the joy of the reunion of mother and son, it was only a few months and less than a year, the mother concubine passed away, and died in front of him.

Shen Ninghua reached out and held his palm, conveying wordless comfort.

Baili Junyi held her hand tightly, feeling the temperature from the palm, and the numb heart slowly recovered: Yes, he still has Ning Hua, he still has children, as a husband and a father, he can be fragile, but he must not fall.

Baili Qingcang was stunned for a while before he gave the order:

"Leave Feng and find a place to bury him. Jun Yi, send your mother back to the Zhichun Palace, and bury her with the gift of the imperial concubine, and according to what your mother said before her death, she will be buried in my side mausoleum, so that she can find me to settle accounts after a hundred years. ”

"Yes, my son obeys."

Baili Junyi got up, bent down to pick up Bu Yun, and walked out of Ningkun Palace step by step.

Baili Qingcang looked around, looked at the hundred officials kneeling on the ground, and the anger around him exploded violently:

"Why don't you cry, I didn't let you come here today to cry and mourn? Zhao was buried with the queen's ceremony, shouldn't you cry? You shouldn't cry when Concubine Xian dies? Can't you cry? Do you want me to help you? ”

As soon as these words came out, the crying suddenly broke through the sky, and the officials wept and wept, ordering the women to tear wet wipes, and the listeners were sad and the hearers wept.

Baili Qingcang looked at it for a while, and suddenly sneered, with an indescribable mockery and sadness on his expression, turned around and strode out of Ningkun Palace.

Prince Baili Jinyi knelt on the ground, with undried tears on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold and ruthless.

This is a risky move, if he is not good, he will be discredited, the position of the prince is not guaranteed, fortunately, things have passed without danger, the queen mother died, the Zhao family was destroyed, the virtuous concubine took poison, and the identity of Baili Junyi was also exposed, and half of his trick was successful, and the remaining half was much easier.

In the Zhichun Palace, seeing Baili Junyi holding Buyun back, the palace maids and servants were stunned on the spot, guessing what the situation was.

Shen Ninghua glanced at them: "Go to the Department of Internal Affairs to get the palace clothes and jewelry of the imperial concubine, prepare hot water, and I will personally clean the concubine." ”

The palace people were dumbfounded, thinking of Prince Yi's face, and a thunderbolt exploded in their hearts: The virtuous concubine is gone!

At the moment, there was no need for Shen Ninghua to urge him a second time, and he was busy with his own work.

Baili Junyi tilted Buyun on the bed, and carefully helped her arrange her skirt and headdress: "Ning Hua, do you think it's worth it for the concubine to do this for a list?" ”

Shen Ninghua was silent, thinking of the conversation in Ning Kun's palace, and only spoke for a long time: "The concubine is not just doing this for a list. ”

"What's that for? Wasn't everything good? Some time ago, she said that she would wait for Xu Chen and Luo Yao to grow up, but now she ......" Baili Junyi gritted his teeth, and the incomprehension and doubts in his heart almost made his chest explode.

"I don't understand either, and I don't think my mother herself understands in the end. However, it is useless to pursue these now, Jun Yi, the mother concubine was too tired before, and now that Zhao Huiying is dead, the Zhao family has also fallen, the Shen family is gone, and the Xiao family is also precarious, she is tired, and it is time to take a rest. ”

She understands the pain, a person regards hatred as the goal of life, and when these goals fall one by one, the body has no motivation to live, blank and empty.

Bu Yun is too tired and bitter, and the hatred in her heart is too deep and too strong, maybe leaving in this way is the best choice......

Baili Junyi hugged Shen Ninghua, almost melting her into his own blood and bones: "Ninghua, don't leave me, never leave me." ”

Shen Ninghua patted him on the back, with faint tears in his eyes: "I won't leave, neither will Xu Chen and Luo Yao, our family of four will be together forever." You still have us! ”

As soon as Zhao Huiying's funeral ended, Bu Yuntian's funeral began.

One honored the queen's funeral, the other went out according to the specifications of the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine was the same as the deputy, and the hundred officials and women who had just cried hoarsely at the queen's funeral came to the Zhichun Palace.

Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua knelt in the hall in filial piety clothes, and the civil and military officials knelt on both sides, their cries were much lower than those of Ningkun Palace, and many officials and women had swollen eyes like walnuts, and some people couldn't cry in hoarse voices.

Only two days have passed, Baili Qingcang looks much older, standing at the door of Zhichun Palace, he is a little timid, and his mind is inexplicably thinking about Buyuntian's question that day:

"Tell me, do you have a heart?"

Do I have a heart?

Baili Qingcang closed his eyes, I have!

Originally, I thought that this heart had already been sharpened and indestructible, and it would be difficult for swords, guns, swords, and halberds to hurt it in the slightest, but I didn't expect that this heart would also have times when it was fragile and timid.

The chief chamberlain stepped forward and reminded softly: "Your Majesty, it's time to go in and offer incense to the virtuous concubine." ”

"Hmm." Baili Qingcang nodded and walked into the Zhichun Palace.

The crying in the hall suddenly became louder and more real, and many of the women had already fainted, and they did not know whether they were crying or tired.

Baili Junyi got up and personally lit incense and respectfully handed it to Baili Qingcang: "Father, please incense for the concubine." ”

Baili Qingcang looked at him, reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Jun Yi, take care of your body." ”

"Yes, my son thanks my father for his care." Baili Junyi's attitude is respectful, but this respect is mixed with endless alienation.

Baili Qingcang's throat choked, and he only felt a tingling pain in his heart: "You ......"

Baili Junyi bent down and stepped away, vacating the position.

Baili Qingcang's eyes flashed with annoyance, and finally sighed softly, thinking that this kid was blaming him for not opening his mouth to stop Bu Yuntian's actions at that time......

When the incense ended, Baili Qingcang looked at Shen Ninghua: "Ninghua, there are people here, you don't have to stay all night, go back to the house early, and there are two children to take care of." ”

Shen Ninghua raised his head: "Yes, Erchen knows." ”

Baili Qingcang lowered his eyes and walked out with his hands in his hands.

The burial will be carried out tomorrow, and the hundreds of officials and wives will go back in the evening, and only Baili Junyi, Shen Ninghua and a group of palace people are left in the huge Zhichun Palace.

Baili Junyi waved his hand to let the palace people go down, knelt on the ground and kept placing the paper stacked ingots in the golden basin in front of the coffin, the red flames burned vigorously, and occasionally there were flying ashes drifting.

Baili Jun's eyes were dark, with a little contradiction and struggle on his face: "Ning Hua, if I want to leave Kyoto, what do you think?" ”

Shen Ninghua raised her eyes, her face was a little tired, but her eyes were exceptionally bright: "Leaving Kyoto, you won't fight?" ”

"No, I'm just taking a step back."

"You know, sometimes taking a step back is all you need."

Baili Junyi turned his head, his eyes were extremely serious, and the fire flashed in his eyes: "It may also be the sea and the sky!" ”

Shen Ninghua's eyes flashed: "Where do you want to retreat?" ”

"It depends on my father's arrangement. At the funeral of the Zhao family, the identity of the mother concubine has been exposed, and the officials who thought that I didn't like it some time ago should also be difficult, when the time comes, Kyoto will definitely be surging, my current power is still too weak, if I can be stronger, if I am sure to pull out the people of Qingtian Pavilion and Biyun Pavilion in one fell swoop, the mother concubine will also ......"

Baili Junyi said quickly and urgently, with heavy chagrin and remorse in his words:

"Ning Hua, I'm not afraid of these upcoming waves, if I were alone, I would definitely turn him upside down, but not now, I have you, two well-behaved children, it doesn't matter what I do, but I can't let you take risks, so, I'm going to take this step back."

Shen Ninghua looked at him seriously, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, the storm we stirred up in Kyoto is too big, and it's time to let others fight in this ring for a while." ”

Baili Junyi held her hand and carefully wrapped it in the palm of his hand: "It's just that in this way, I have to wronged you and the two children." ”

Shen Ninghua chuckled:

"I've had a long time of hard life, and our children are not delicate, besides, even if we leave Kyoto, it's on the grounds that the prince is divided, and when we get to the fiefdom, we are naturally the lord of one party, so we can enjoy the beautiful scenery of other places, and we can secretly develop the layout, what's wrong?"

Baili Junyi also laughed, secretly glad in his heart, he was glad that he was stalked, and he was glad that he was cheeky enough to marry Ning Hua, a beautiful daughter-in-law, if it weren't for her, his life would be completely different.

"Ning Hua, thank you."

Shen Ninghua raised her eyes, her long and thick eyelashes were beautiful, she was like the most beautiful and delicate flower, she looked weak, but no matter how much wind and rain she had, she could bloom indifferently:

"Why do you and I have to say thank you?"

Baili Junyi took her into his arms, and the two pressed each other's foreheads, their eyes intertwined, and their breaths smelled: "Ning Hua, I love you." ”

A thousand words finally converged into one sentence, and he didn't know how to express the joy and excitement in his heart, so he could only summarize it in this sentence. Such a wife is fortunate to have three lives, how can she not love?

Shen Ninghua leaned on his shoulder, the smile on his face was warm and content.

Baili Junyi was grateful to be able to marry her, and she thanked him for his persistence many times in her heart.

If she hadn't fallen in love with him, she would have been like a cloud of love, seeing hatred as the only motivation to live, and when she got revenge and wished, she would have no meaning in life, and she would only live for hatred all her life, how sad would that life be......

Now that she has a satisfactory husband and two smart and lovely children, she is grateful to God for her kindness all the time.

There were two state funerals in a row, and the whole of Kyoto was immersed in solemnity, and even the most lively street markets were much quieter, but under this calm, the turbulent dark tide was already brewing, and when it broke out, it was another earth-shattering shock.

Nine days later, Baili Qingcang began to rise early.

Shen Ninghua personally helped Baili Junyi put on the court clothes, and there was a shallow smile on his lips: "Be careful." ”

Baili Junyi chuckled, but his eyes were extraordinarily deep: "Don't worry, even if you want to leave, you have to leave a deep impression on the officials, right?" ”
