The funeral was held as scheduled, Apohan's military achievements were great, and the king specially ordered Apohan to be buried with royal etiquette, but so what, no matter how grand the funeral was, it could not soothe the pain of the living.

Wu Duo hadn't eaten for two days, so Ah Huan stayed with his mother, not eating or drinking, until the moment the coffin was buried in the ground, Wu Duo was so sad that he fainted directly in Helian Duan's arms.

In recent days, Helian Duel has also been unable to sleep and eat, and has been staying by Wu Duo's side, but fortunately, she woke up in the evening.

Before she could speak, her eyes were already hazy with tears, and Helian raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and comforted: "If the little uncle sees Sister Ah so sad, he must not be happy in his heart."

"My little uncle is a warrior of the Red Abyss, a hero who stands up to the heavens and the earth, and I can accept him sacrificing his life for the country and dying on the battlefield, but I can't accept it...... It is unacceptable that he died in the territory of Chiyuan in an unknown manner...... Brother Xuan, you must ...... The murderer must be found, and I will break him into pieces...... Broken corpses !! 10,000 pieces"

Udo's hands were clenched into fists, her eyes were bloodshot, she closed her eyes and turned her head sideways, tears sliding down the tails of her eyes, wetting the black hair between her temples.

How could she not understand her pain Helian Duel, how could he feel better in his heart when he and Apohan had fought side by side on the battlefield for so many years, and how many hard times he had spent exchanging lives for his life......

"Sister don't worry, no matter what the price is, I will definitely let the people behind me accompany Apohan to the funeral!" Helian said in a dumb voice.

Maybe it would be better to vent out, he didn't persuade him any more, it was already dark outside the window, and there was a sudden knock on the door three times and two light, and then a figure flashed by.

Helian Du glanced up, and said, "I ordered the dining room to make the osmanthus lotus seed soup that Sister loves to drink, and you will have a good rest after drinking it, and I will come to see you later."

Wu Duo didn't say a word, Helian Du sighed deeply, although he didn't care about anything else at this time, but some things have to be dealt with after all, he patted Wu Duo's hand lightly, and then got up and opened the door.

At this time, the New Year has passed, and there is no trace of the festival in the Xiaowang Mansion, and the white paper lanterns that can be seen everywhere are swaying with the cold wind, making it even more cold and lonely.

Ah Huan held the table with both hands, and there was steaming medicinal juice on it, and he walked cautiously in the corridor, for fear of spilling it.

At this time, the maid was carrying the osmanthus lotus seed soup with him, and Ah Huan knew that his mother should not want outsiders to disturb him at this time, so he said, "Give me the soup, I just happened to go to my mother's room."

Unexpectedly, the maid's face changed, she seemed to be very nervous, and stammered, "Little ...... Little boy, this soup is too hot, let's come on."

"It's okay, my mother needs to recuperate now, and outsiders shouldn't disturb her, just leave it to me."

Ah Huan said this, and the maid had no reason to insist anymore, her hand trembled slightly, and she put the soup on the plate in Ah Huan's hand.

Ah Huan wondered how the maid could be so uneasy, so he glanced at the maid more, and found that it was a face that he had never seen before, he only thought that the maid had just come to the house, shy and timid, and said casually: "Mother has always been casual and generous, you don't have to panic when you wait in front of you."

"Yes......"

The young man's mind was clear, so he naturally didn't think much about it, he was full of concern about his mother's current situation, and he couldn't see the trembling in the maid's eyes, and he didn't know that after she handed the soup to him, she didn't dare to delay for a moment and hurriedly left the house.

Ah Huan entered the house, and saw that his mother had woken up, and the worry in his heart was relieved, he put the plate on the table, walked to the bed, and called softly, "Mother......"

Wu Duo thought it was Helian Duel, but she didn't expect it to be Ah Huan, she wiped the tears on her face, got up and leaned on the cushion at the head of the bed, and forced a smile, "You've been staying up with your mother for the past few days, are you tired?"

"The child is not tired." Ah Huan sat on the edge of the bed, holding Wu Duo's face with both hands and looking at it carefully, her face was ugly, and her eyes were swollen so much, in just a few days, she could make a person lose a lot of weight.

Ah Huan has grown so big, when has he ever seen his mother so listless, he couldn't help but feel distressed: "Mother is so haggard these days, you must rest well, my uncle has passed away, my mother still has children, even if it is for the sake of children, you must take care of your health......

Tears finally couldn't hold back, flowing down her cheeks to Ah Huan's hands, Ah Huan held her mother in her arms, her thin shoulders bearing her mother's sad tears, and listened to her whimper: "From now on, no one will ever send candy wrapped in glutinous rice paper to my mother from thousands of miles away......

"The Kids!" Ah Huan gently patted Wu Duo's back with his hand, and whispered softly like a child, "Mother likes the children all remember, you like the phoenix millet in the milk fruit shop, you like Wanfulou and cakes, and you like to listen to Yulou's songs, right...... You also like the osmanthus lotus seed soup made in our dining room, my father has already ordered the dining room to be ready, mother, you see, not only the child, but also the father remembers you, you must not be too sad."

As he spoke, Ah Huan brought the bowl of lotus seed soup, and he scooped up a spoonful and fed it to Wu Duo's lips, "Mother is about to drink it while it's hot, and she has food in her stomach, so she won't feel uncomfortable after drinking medicine for a while."

But she couldn't eat at this time, and she really didn't have the heart to eat, Ah Huan's mind flashed, and said: "I remember when the child was sick when I was young, my mother took care of me, and I couldn't eat, so my mother played a game with me and divided the meal into two portions, and whoever finished eating first won."

Ah Huan spoke to himself, found a larger teacup, divided the lotus seed porridge into two parts, handed one to Wu Duo, and kept one for himself.

"Mother, the game is about to start, and the child will not be humble!"

The young man smiled slyly, took a big bite of the teacup and ate it, looking at his appearance, Wu Duo felt some comfort in his heart, with such a well-behaved child by his side, she could also carry the big things.

Wu Duo's eyes flashed with tears, he lowered his eyes with a wry smile, scooped up the floating osmanthus on the porridge noodles and was about to eat it, but suddenly there was a sound of the tea bowl falling to the ground in his ears.

At the same time, Ah Huan grabbed her wrist violently, and an indescribable strangeness rose in Wu Duo's heart, she suddenly looked at Ah Huan, there was no blood on his face, white and weird, a little eye-catching red appeared in his eyes, and then blood flowed out of his eyes continuously.

I saw Ah Huan's purple lips open, and he said weakly, "Mother...... Other...... Porridge in ...... Poisonous...... Poof!"

A mouthful of black-red blood sprayed on Wu Duo's body, her two eyes instantly widened, and her panicked face revealed an irrepressible look of horror, seeing that Ah Huan's body was paralyzed and about to fall to the ground, Wu Duo hurriedly took him into his arms and shouted loudly in shock...... Tell the doctor!!"

"Mother...... Mother......" Ah Huan shrank in Wu Duo's arms, he breathed heavily, his chest rose and fell violently, it seemed that his breathing had exhausted all his strength, the blood blurred his eyes, he couldn't see the figures of the people around him, he only felt a sharp pain in his body.

Blood continued to flow out of his seven orifices, Wu Duo's hands trembled, almost unable to hold the handkerchief, she wiped it for him over and over again, crying out in despair: "Ah Huan, don't speak, the doctor is already on the way......

She grabbed Ah Huan's hand tightly, as if grasping the last glimmer of hope, Ah Huan's lips buzzed, she held back her tears, put her ear to Ah Huan's lips, and listened to him murmur angrily, "Mother, don't ...... Sad ......"

Ah Huan's voice fell, and his body, which had been shrunk into a ball of pain, gradually unfolded, as if he was asleep, and there was no life.

On the other side, Helian Duel, who didn't know that the bad news was coming, followed the black shadow all the way to Luoqiu Courtyard, which was the most remote mansion in the palace, and even the people who sprinkled and swept it did not come every day.

The new snow covered the entire courtyard, smooth and traceless like a piece of white jade, reflecting the dim light in the house, sparkling, especially beautiful.

At this time, Helian decided that he had no intention of seeing the scenery, he stepped directly into the snow that had reached the top of his bare feet, pushed the door in, and the masked man in the house had been waiting for a long time.

"See His Royal Highness King Xiao!"

"What's the matter?" Helian Du waved his hand to signal him to get up.

"Yes."

The masked man turned his head to look in the direction of the outside of the house, and after making sure that there was no one around, he fell into Helian Due's ear, not knowing what he said, but it was certain that the news surprised Helian Duel.

His expression changed suddenly, and he couldn't believe it, "It's actually him......"

Thinking of Apohan's tragic situation, Helian Duel's pupils suddenly contracted, and the bottom of his eyes

As if about to erupt into flames, a pair of large hands clenched into fists with indignation, knuckles clenched, and powerful anger rolled in his chest, eager to immediately pick up his sword and take off the man's head.

But Si Nanyue previously instructed that now they have no tangible evidence, they can't act rashly, and if they want to wipe out his forces, they need to be patient for the time being.

Thinking of this, Helian Duel's hand loosened, and he said with an ugly face: "Continue to keep an eye on him, and report to this king immediately if there is any change!"

"Yes!"

The masked man took the order and retreated, a large room, in which only Helian stood alone, looking at the flickering candlelight, the anger in his eyes gradually disappearing, replaced by irrepressible sadness.

"Wait, Apohan, one day...... Uh......"

Inexplicably, Helian suddenly felt a palpitation, as if something ominous was coming, he held on to the wooden table, supported his heavy body, and was feeling strange, when he heard the frightened and anxious voice of the attendant outside the door: "Your Highness is not good!" Little boy he ...... He ......"

A lean goshawk swept across the gloomy sky, screaming sharply in the cold wind, the night wind whistling and sweeping the heavens and the earth, the plum trees in the courtyard swaying in the wind, and the petals of the flowers fell to the ground with the falling snow more and more rapidly.

Helian Du came in a hurry against the wind and snow, and when he staggered open the door of the house, he saw Wu Duo's expression like a puppet, sitting on the ground with Ah Huan in his arms, humming Ah Huan's favorite lullaby when he was a child, while Si Nanyue stood aside, shook his head at him, and said softly, "It's poison."

His face became more and more pale, and there were countless conjectures churning in his heart, could it be that Uduo was joking with him again? Could it be that Ah Huan has been too tired in recent days and fell asleep before he had time to return to the room? Could it be...... Is he too strict with Ah Huan, and this kid came up with this kind of prank to tease him?
