Chapter 380: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
Night, it is thick. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe moon is cold and the stars are sparse, and the breeze is cool.
After the hour, the death knell suddenly sounded in the palace. Some of the people in the imperial capital city faintly heard it, and thought it was a dream, while others heard it clearly, and they guessed which one in the palace had gone. After all, the status of those who can make the emperor sound the death knell must not be low.
In the palace, the Water Emperor stood on the observation deck wearing a bright yellow cloak, looking in the direction of the Prince's Mansion, and worry flashed in his deep eyes.
Did the death of the crown princess also take away the heart of his proudest son?
"Your Majesty, it's windy here, be careful of catching a cold, let's go back to the Heart Nourishing Palace......"
The chief eunuch's respectful voice sounded low behind the Water Emperor, but he couldn't hear a response for a long time.
Looking at the mighty figure in front of me, there is a little bleak vicissitudes at this moment, and I can't help but feel a little sour.
The majestic king of a country in front of him is actually just a father who loves his son. The prince's experience and temperament since he was a child made the emperor have to worry about him, can he still cheer up after the death of the crown princess this time? After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shoulders the future of the water country.
The chief eunuch who had followed the Water Emperor for decades naturally knew what the Water Emperor was thinking, so he shook his head helplessly, so he had to stand silently behind, not daring to disturb again.
In the middle of the night, the Water Emperor suddenly said in a deep voice: "Spread my will, the Ministry of Rites, Luan Yiwei and the Department of Internal Affairs will carry out a state funeral for the funeral of the crown princess. You go to the Prince's Mansion immediately and go to see the Prince's ...... for me."
The subordinates in the prince's mansion were busy for a while.
According to Shui Mo Xuan's requirements, a mourning hall should be opened in the prince's mansion, and then he would personally send the princess to be buried.
Xiangming cried and groomed the princess and changed into a dress, and the rest of the little maids were also in and out of the Fengluan Palace, constantly busy. And Shui Mo Xuan only sat in the outer hall of the Fengluan Hall the whole time, and did not go in to see the body of the crown princess.
The people in the palace only thought that he was too sad and couldn't accept the sudden death of the crown princess and didn't dare to come forward to take a look.
On a treetop outside the Prince's Mansion, Li Wuxian squatted on it, supporting Mu Zhiyu beside him, and looked at the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion at the same time.
The Prince's Mansion was brightly lit, and the people were busy. Still, there was an eerily silence, no one spoke loudly, and no one whispered to each other. Everyone's face was full of heaviness.
Mu Zhiyu looked at the direction of Fengluan Hall from a distance, her eyes were low, she had never felt guilty about Shui Mo Xuan.
It seems that from the time they met to the present, except for the first time she saved him, all she brought to him was a steady stream of troubles and pain again and again.
She really hates herself, why should she hurt him again and again? If he hadn't met her, let alone rescued her ashore, and let her die completely, maybe everything now wouldn't have happened.
If the time she lived longer brought hurt and pain to many people, she would rather die in that river in the first place......
The eyes of the innocent are also full of complexity, how much pain Shui Mo Xuan must have endured in his heart if he could do this for her. Knowing that the woman he loves left in such a way, he was going to find another man, but he still chose to let go and fulfill.
In such a short period of time, I don't know where Shui Mo Xuan sent someone to find it, the woman who had just died not long but was similar to Mu Zhiyu's body was buried in her place after being disguised.
Leaving the innocent sigh, Shui Mo Xuan has a deep and selfless love for her, a true love that is not mixed with any evil thoughts. With this, he deserves his admiration from the bottom of his heart.
After a while, Li Wuxian retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes and whispered to Mu Zhiyu: "In this world, there are many things that you can't get if you want to. Shui Mo Xuan chooses to let go, which is a kind of fulfillment for you and himself. ”
Mu Zhiyu lowered his eyebrows, looked at the tree, and said in a deep voice: "I owe him... Too much. ”
Li Wuxian can naturally understand her mood, and it is impossible for anyone with a heart to be indifferent to the dedication of Ink Xuan.
After the silence, Li Wuxian glanced at the direction of the Prince's Mansion again, and sighed in a deep voice: "... Let's go. ”
Mu Zhiyu finally retracted his gaze, nodded, and let Li Wuxian fly down the tree with her, and then gradually disappeared into the night.
In the Fengluan Palace, Shui Mo Xuan had been sitting quietly in the outer hall without moving, and the expression on his face was a little heavy.
"Your Highness, Gonggong Sun has come to ...... by order"
Chuan Xiang walked to the side of Shui Mo Xuan and whispered, the expression on his face was equally solemn. Although he knew that all this was just to hide people's eyes, he also knew that this time, His Highness had completely lost the woman he loved.
"Let him wait in the hall, and the main hall will go later."
After a while, Shui Mo Xuan said this sentence in a deep voice, and then Chuan Xiang withdrew.
When Shui Mo Xuan listened to the decree, he frowned and did not reach out to receive it.
"Grandpa Sun, this holy decree cannot be accepted by this hall."
The chief eunuch Sun Gonggong was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, why is this?" The old slave knows that the death of the crown princess has hit you hard, but people can't be resurrected after death, so you must mourn. ”
"The emperor deeply regrets the death of the crown princess, and hereby decrees that the funeral of the crown princess will be held according to the state funeral, why don't you accept the order?"
Grandpa Sun couldn't understand it.
"Father-in-law Sun, my father's kindness, the crown princess of this palace has thanked you. But for the state funeral, the crown princess will definitely not agree. ”
"The main hall knows her, and she doesn't want the water country to waste money for her funeral after her death. The father-in-law went back to tell his father that the funeral of the crown princess was simple. The main hall hopes that the forgotten sorrow can leave peacefully, just like an ordinary husband bidding farewell to his favorite wife......"
It was a nihilistic funeral, so Shui Mo Xuan naturally couldn't hurt the country's wealth, and Mu Zhiyu wouldn't agree.
Just like ordinary people, he would personally welcome the coffin and bury it. Because in this life, he only thinks that he is his only wife.
After Gonggong Sun left, Shui Mo Xuan began to guide the people in the palace to work, and set up the mourning hall in the prince's mansion, which should be carried out according to his instructions.
When everything was almost done, Shui Mo Xuan called Mo Dong and Xiang Bei and ordered: "Three days later, the coffin of the crown princess will be buried." At that time, the main hall will personally put the crown princess's clothes into the coffin. ”
"As for the woman, you return her to her family and let her be laid to rest."
After Shui Mo Xuan finished speaking, he waved his hand at them tiredly and told them to retreat.
After going out of the Fengluan Palace, Mo Dong and Xiang Bei glanced at each other helplessly, and both sighed.
Unexpectedly, in the end, their Royal Highness the Crown Prince would still be alone. (To be continued.) )
