No. 307: Send her to the earth for peace

"The emperor's ......" At that time, Gonggong Li stood in the main hall, looking at Shangguan Rong, who was frantically reviewing the folds, and stopped talking.

Since she ascended the throne, Shangguan Rong has not stopped, she falls asleep when she is tired, and she keeps dealing with government affairs when she wakes up.

"Your Majesty, the old slave has something to tell you."

"What?" Shangguan Rong didn't raise his head, and his tone was flat, as if he only had endless twists and turns in his eyes.

"Tomorrow...... It is the day of the burial of the princess of war, does the emperor want to take a look? ”

Gonggong Li knows what to mention and what not to mention, and he has tried not to mention the matter of Princess Zhan in front of Shangguan Rong in the past few days, but now is the day of her burial, I am afraid that I have to mention it if I don't mention it.

"Smack." The fold in his hand suddenly landed, and Shangguan Rong's whole person froze in place.

"I ...... I was busy, so I didn't go. ”

When he picked up the folds on the ground again, there was no joy or sorrow on his countenance, so that no one could see joy or anger.

"Then the emperor pays attention to rest, and the slave retires." Gonggong Li retreated, and by the way, he sent away several palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting by Shangguan Rong's side, and he was the only one left in the entire hall.

After several palace maids were sent back, they discussed in private: "I have long heard that the emperor and the king of war were born and died together, and they have a great friendship, why did the emperor ascend the throne, but the king of war did not come to participate in the ceremony, and now that the princess of war is buried, why does the emperor not even want to look at it?" ”

Another palace maid said in a low voice: "Now that the status of the two is very different, one is the Holy Lord of the world, and the other is the king of war in all directions, so they must be suspicious of each other. ”

"But I heard earlier that the emperor has a deep affection for that princess, and now that everyone is dead, the emperor doesn't even take a look?"

Hearing this, the other palace maid's face changed rapidly, and she hurriedly covered her mouth to the palace maid: "You be quiet, if this matter is heard by someone with a heart, do you and I still want to live?" ”

sighed lowly, and the palace maid sighed again: "People's hearts will always change, now that he is the emperor, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and there are countless beauties, who can remember the old acquaintance who has passed away?" ”

"Men, always like the new and hate the old......"

In the empty hall, Shangguan Rong no longer had the heart to read the recitals, he sat in the hall all day, his eyes were dull and motionless.

Later, he finally moved stiffly, raised his hand, and slowly took out a coral hairpin from his arms.

He looked at it for a long, long time, and the lights flickered, full of desolation.

After a long time, he spoke, his voice hoarse as that of an old man: "Wanwan, I'm sorry, forgive me for being just a coward......"

He leaned back against the back of the chair, tilted his head slightly, his hair flowing down the back of the chair, and after a long time, he raised his hand to cover his eyes, and two lines of tears vaguely flowed from his fingers.

He slid his Adam's apple and choked silently.

All that came to mind was Shu Wan's smiling face.

He buried himself in a mountain of twists and turns all day long, trying to keep himself busy, and he thought that as long as he kept himself busy, he could not think about it, and his heart would not hurt so much.

But in the dead of night, his mind would always have her as she looked like.

When he knew about her death, he never went to see her, and later he heard that Xiao Yan went to Yunruo Temple to ask for medicine for her, in fact, he also knew that it was just nonsense, but he was willing to believe it, believing that there was really such an elixir in this world......

But in this world, how can there be such medicine, and how can people be resurrected after death......

It was he who was wrong, it was he who didn't protect her well, and now that he was sitting in the highest position, he could finally stop her from being hurt in any way, but why...... He never had a chance.

Clutching the hairpin in his hand tightly, he sat from night to dawn.

On the day Shu Wan was buried, there was another heavy snow in the sky, and the whole world was white.

Her funeral was prepared by Xiao Yan himself, what materials were used in the coffin, and the things placed in the coffin were all put in by him with his own hands, and even the stone tablet was carved by himself with a knife.

He was afraid that she would be cold, so he spread layers of bedding inside the coffin.

He knew that she liked to wear clothes woven of cloud brocade, so he specially asked the embroidery girl in Jiangnan to sew a few new clothes for her.

He knew that she liked the white hosta he gave her the most, so he carefully wound the broken place with gold silk, pinned it between her buns, and buried it with her.

The clothes she wore when she was buried were still the bright red wedding dress, because he thought that she was the most beautiful in the wedding dress.

Everything was ready, and he stood in the snow, beside her coffin, and looked at her for a long time, his eyes full of desolation and loneliness.

Now, he was alone again.

No one knows the pain in his heart, only that he has been extremely haggard for the past few days.

Qingfeng stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, the time has come. ”

He said, "Okay." ”

Several subordinates stepped forward, closed the lid of the coffin, fixed the coffin around it with iron nails, and finally poured soil on the coffin with a shovel.

Xiao Yan stood quietly aside, he only felt that this iron nail was not a coffin, but his heart, and that handful of loess was not a coffin, but his heart.

When the ritual was completed, the pain on his face dissipated, and his eyes became cold and silent again, like ten thousand years of ice, and no one could melt him away.

He thought that he would be very miserable when he sent her to the ground, but on this day, he was surprised to find that his heart was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and he could no longer make any waves.

He covered his heart, the position was obviously still beating, but he didn't seem to feel its existence, but it was empty, so that he couldn't feel the truth.

It turned out that it was not only she who was buried in the earth, but also his heart, and now he was undoubtedly just a walking corpse.

Seeing that Xiao Yan finally let go, Qingfeng was relieved, so he reported the trivial matters of the past few days one by one: "Lord Wang, Concubine Rong and Jing Lanxuan are still imprisoned in the prison, waiting for the prince to deal with them, in addition, his subordinates sent people to search the entire Kyoto, but they did not find Liu Qingqing." ”

"Kill them all." Xiao Yan said expressionlessly.

Qingfeng said: "But Jing Lanxuan said that she wanted to see the prince. ”

Xiao Yan said: "No." ”

Qingfeng said again: "It is about the last words of the princess when she was dying." ”

Xiao Yan suddenly moved, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
