Chapter 506: If there is an afterlife
Wei Xiao threw the wet lamb chops back on the plate and asked with a smile.
"Did His Royal Highness the King of the County do it on purpose?"
Xiao Ti replied without changing his face: "I said no, do you believe it?" ”
The two of them did not show any angry expressions, but there was a kind of saber rattling momentum, and when their eyes met, there seemed to be a flash of electric light, and the smell of gunpowder was full.
Wang Jian'an saw that the situation was not good, and quickly stood up and said.
"Quickly change a plate of roast lamb chops for Wei Gongzi, and make a new pot of tea for His Royal Highness the County King."
The maids stepped forward briskly and carried away the roast lamb chops and empty teacups.
Immediately, Wang Jian'an beckoned the dancers to start the show, and the sound of silk and bamboo also sounded.
Wang Jian'an wanted to use the song and dance performance to dilute the smell of gunpowder between Xiao Ti and Wei Xiao, but who knew that these two people didn't even look at those dancing girls.
Wei Yu said with a smile.
"Don't you want something delicious? You can eat the dishes on my table, do you want to come with me? ”
Xiao Tichen said in a deep voice: "There are injuries on my body, and I need to avoid eating during the period of taking medicine." ”
Wei Xiao sneered, very disdainful.
"What do you say about taboo and taboo? That's just the words of quack doctors to fool people, I've been injured before, and I still drink wine and eat meat during my recuperation, and now it's not good? ”
Xiao Ti: "It's different from you, it doesn't matter how thick your skin is, but you are delicate and expensive, you need to take care of it, and you can't come nonsense." ”
Wei Xiao: "These are your excuses! You just want to control the rest of the body and satisfy your desire for control. ”
Xiao Ti: "I am a curvy husband, I have the obligation to take good care of her, but it's you, you are not related to her, what qualifications do you have to dictate our affairs here?" ”
Wei Xiao choked.
He really has no position.
He is simply unhappy in his heart, so he also wants to make others unhappy.
As for why not be happy? He didn't want to think about it.
Instinct told him that the answer would be unacceptable to him.
Wei Xiao pretended to be calm and said to Yu Yuan.
"Just wait, if you continue like this, you will definitely be eaten to death by him in the future."
After saying this, he turned around and walked away.
Looking at the back, there was a bit of annoyance and anger.
Yu Yuanyu was very puzzled: "What is this guy here for?" ”
Xiao Ti replied lightly: "Who knows." ”
is also a man, and he can feel that Wei Xiao's attitude towards curly is very different.
In the past, Wei Xiao harassed him from time to time, and it can be said that Wei Xiao was deliberately provoking him, commonly known as looking for trouble.
But now Wei Yu is all kinds of demons, but it is more like he wants to attract the attention of Huan Xuan.
A man who wants to get the attention of the opposite sex can guess what he wants to do with his toes?
But Xiao Ti didn't plan to tell him this.
He scooped up a piece of soft and tender white tofu with a spoon and brought it to her lips.
"Leave him alone, keep eating yours."
"Hmm!"
After the dinner, Xiao Ti pushed back to the guest room.
People are especially prone to sleepiness after they have eaten and drunk enough, and Yu Yuanyu is like this now, she keeps yawning on the road.
When Xiao Ti picked her up and put her on the bed, she almost fell asleep on the pillow.
Xiao was tired but couldn't sleep yet.
He had to help change the dressing, and in order not to wake her up, his movements were extremely gentle throughout the dressing change process.
Yu Yu woke up the next day, but he didn't find that the gauze on his body had been changed once.
She was helped to sit up.
Xiao Ti wiped her face with a wet handkerchief and said at the same time.
"I'm going to go out later."
Yu Yuanxuan asked curiously, "What are you going out for?" ”
Xiao Ti didn't mean to hide it, and said calmly.
"Although the eldest princess of Niyang has committed a heinous crime, she is my mother after all, and I have to go and handle her funeral."
Yu Yuanyu immediately said, "I'll go with you." ”
She knew that her current appearance would definitely not be of much help, but she really couldn't rest assured that Xiao Ti, the eldest princess of Niyang occupied a very important weight in his life, and now that he wanted to handle the aftermath for her, she would definitely not feel good.
At times like these, she had to be with him.
Xiao Ti raised his eyes and glanced at her, seeing that her expression was firm, obviously she had made up her mind, so she answered with her chin bow.
"Hmm."
Yu Yuanxuan deliberately let the spring breeze choose plain white clothes for herself.
She doesn't need to think about the bun jewelry or anything she looks like now, she just needs to pull up her long hair at will and fix it with a sandalwood hairpin.
Xiao Ti is still the black clothes he usually wears on weekdays, with a leather belt around his waist and black boots on his feet, looking deep and restrained.
After breakfast with him, he left the county guard and rode in a carriage to a temple in the city.
The presiding officer of the temple obviously knew Xiao Ti, and when he saw Xiao Ti coming with his wife, he immediately led the husband and wife to the apse.
A black coffin is parked in the apse, and next to it are kneeling four monks, who are knocking on wooden fish while chanting scriptures.
Yu Yuanxuan originally thought that they were reciting the Sutra of the Past Life, but after asking, he realized that what they were reciting was actually the Sutra of Doom.
And this is what Xiao Ti specially ordered.
He lit three incense sticks, inserted them into the censer, and said slowly.
"The eldest princess of Niyang has hurt many people in her lifetime, and she has never repented of it until she died, I hope to use the Doom Sutra to make her change her mind and be a good person in the next life."
The incense incense gas curled with green smoke, and the smoke filled his eyes, making his gaze look a little blurry at this time.
Yu Yuanyu: "Don't you don't believe in ghosts and gods?" ”
Xiao Ti: "I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but I hope that people can have an afterlife." ”
Yu Yuanyu became more and more curious: "Why?" ”
Xiao Ti glanced at her silently.
If a person really has an afterlife, he may be able to meet her again.
He admits that he is very greedy, feels that one life is not enough, and wants to dream of the next life.
Yu Yuanyu: "Why don't you speak?" ”
Xiao Ti looked away: "If people can have an afterlife, maybe they can make up for a lot of regrets." ”
Yu Xuan showed a look that seemed to understand or not.
"Oh."
Xiao Ti walked to the side of the coffin and reached out to push the lid open, revealing the charred corpse lying inside.
The eldest princess of Niyang, who was once known as the first beauty of the wild geese, was now burned black by the fire and was unrecognizable.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ti's mood was very complicated.
He had thought about many endings, but he never thought that the relationship between himself and his mother would end up like this.
The host asked, "Does His Royal Highness need someone to redress His Royal Highness the Princess?" ”
The local custom is that after a person dies, he must first be dressed up and then buried in a coffin.
Xiao Ti replied lightly.
"Not necessarily."
People have already burned to charcoal, what else is there to dress up?
Even if the eldest princess of Niyang is still alive, with her beauty-loving and strong character, she will definitely not want others to see her unrecognizable appearance at this time.
Xiao Ti covered the coffin, ordered someone to bring an iron nail, and sealed the coffin himself.
After doing this, he let the eagle guards in and carried the coffin out of the temple.
