"I wonder what's missing?" Chang Sui Ning asked curiously.

Duan accurately said the only thing missing: "When I made a bet with His Highness, I compared my embroidery skills, and at that time, I embroidered a handkerchief with His Highness...... When the box was sealed, he put the two handkerchiefs into a small box and put them in together."

Speaking of this, Duan's eyes were already hazy with tears: "I think His Highness opened this box later...... Took away the ugly handkerchief."

Hearing the word "ugly handkerchief", Chang Suining didn't know how to answer it for a while.

The pair of veils was indeed surprisingly ugly, and she had indeed taken them.

Before going to Beidi and his relatives, she secretly went to see Meng Lie for the last time, and out of all considerations, she left Meng Lie half a token, only saying that if she had an errand to explain to him in the future, she would make someone come to see him with the other half of the token-

In fact, the reason why Beidi named her to marry at that time, she knew that she didn't think that she still had a chance to return to Dasheng alive, nor did she think that the token would have any worth mentioning.

But in the face of crying and refusing to disperse, and hating to die in person, she is always not good at saying bluntly, "I will definitely die on this trip".

Therefore, most of her original words were just to appease the cake, and the token was just half a reassurance.

But she was afraid that Meng Lie would always take this matter to heart, and she was afraid that the half token would fall into the hands of untrustworthy people and bring trouble to her former henchmen, so for the sake of safety, she chose to keep the token instead of taking it to Beidi.

That night, she dug out the box, threw the half token into it, and when she sat on the ground alone to reminisce about the past, she took away the pair of ugly handkerchiefs, thinking that if Beidi was unhappy, it would be good to take it out and laugh at Duan Zhenyi.

"There are so many valuable or interesting things in this box, but His Highness took away the pair of handkerchiefs alone, isn't it reluctant to let me ...... what kind of " Duan was almost unable to cry: "I know that although His Highness said that he didn't want to see me at that time, he remembered me the most!"

"Before Your Highness and my relatives, I asked to see me several times, but she refused to see me......

"I was thinking, with something, let that Raush Zi and his relatives go to hell!" Duan's affection for the scene could no longer suppress the sadness and regret in his heart for many years at this time: "If His Highness is willing to see me, I must think of escaping from Beijing with His Highness, and it will be good to flee wherever I go......

As he spoke, he took the handkerchief that Chang Suining silently handed over, and wiped his tears: "Anyway, no matter where you flee, Your Highness can always protect and support me."

Chang Suining: "......"

After escaping, she had to be raised, so the meaning of the two of them escaping together is...... Let her drag oil bottles more than once?

But at that time, Zhenyi was married and had children, and he still wanted to run away with her...... Regardless of whether it is reliable or not, just saying that this determination to abandon her husband and children for her is also moving.

Duan Shi cried regretfully at this time: "I should have been more decided, His Highness refused to see me, even if I climbed over the wall, I should have climbed in to see His Highness!"

Chang Suining subconsciously glanced at the high wall of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and felt that the key point was not whether it was decisive enough, but whether Duan Zhenyi could climb it in.

Seeing that Duan's tears were falling more and more, Chang Suining felt at a loss.

She is a person who can't cry, and whenever she sees others crying with her, she always doesn't know what to do, which is why she didn't want to see Duan Zhenyi before she was married.

But I didn't expect Li Shang to hide, Chang Suining didn't dodge, and today she still told her to go through this experience.

She is not good at comforting people, but it is not appropriate to say anything at the moment, so she can only say, "Madame's Day condolences ......"

But these words are not easy to make, and it seems to remind Duan of the fact that "the person is dead", which makes Duan cry even more unstoppable.

Seeing this, Chang Suining decided to find another way: "Madam, that pair of veils ...... It may not have been taken away by Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, right?"

As she spoke, her voice was very soft and slow, and she looked behind Duan with hesitant eyes.

Although she is not good at persuading people, she has always had a lot of experience in beating people and intimidating others.

The girl's eyes immediately made Duan's scalp tighten, and her crying voice was sluggish, and she lowered her voice and said, "Can't you......

But she couldn't help but think of the strange movement she had just heard, and her body stiffened for a while, and she was still comforting herself: "That kind of thing, even if you think about ghosts, you can't look down on it......

Chang Sui Ning thought for a moment: "Not necessarily."

After all, the embroidery technique itself is quite underworld, even if it is looked down upon by ghosts, it is very reasonable.

Duan also seemed to think of this, and suddenly he couldn't care about his sadness, and after the servant filled in the pit, he hurriedly fled here with his things.

A few people returned to the eldest princess's residence from the back door, tidied up their dresses, and disposed of the dirt chips on their shoes, before Chang Suining walked out with Duan, whose eyes were red and swollen and seemed to be injured, and he couldn't take care of himself.

Seeing Duan's crying like this, the maiden envoy of the eldest princess's mansion who was guarding the gate of the courtyard also felt sad and sad in her heart, and she wanted to persuade but didn't know where to speak, so she could only salute and lead Duan's party out of the mansion.

But the envoy gradually felt that there was something wrong with the servant who carried the box.

The box was still the same box, but the minion's pace and demeanor seemed to be a little different.

When he stepped out of the gate of the eldest princess's mansion, a layer of sweat had broken out on the servant's forehead.

He'd tried to make himself look relaxed enough, but there were so many things in the box, and the journey was too long!

If it weren't for the light weight of the box itself brought by Madame, he wouldn't have been able to carry such things.

Duan's all the way to the war, but she also picked the one that looked the most strong, which didn't look good.

She had imagined the terrible situation in which her servants were physically exhausted, and they fell with their chests and poured out all the stolen goods in them...... If that's the case, she doesn't have to live, the next year's Double Ninth Festival will be her death day, and the death day will be sacrificed together with the Double Ninth Festival, and the Zheng Guogong Mansion can save a sacrifice every year.

Fortunately, not only was she afraid of being embarrassed, but the servants also wanted face, so she tried her best to get out of the eldest princess's mansion.

But the slight trembling body and the strangeness of the face could no longer be concealed.

The look of doubt on the face of the envoy of the eldest princess's mansion was also about to come out.

"Ah, Weide, what's wrong with you?" At this time, the voice of concern sounded: "But what is uncomfortable?"

The servant's face changed several times: "Mrs. Hui, the villain's abdominal pain is unbearable......

Another servant, who was waiting by the carriage and did not know it, hurriedly went to pick up the box in his hand.

Weide hurried around him, hurriedly put the box into the carriage with his last breath, and then clutched his stomach in pain.

"This ......," the envoy of the eldest princess's mansion could only say, "Then I'll take this little brother to the clean room." qs

Duan nodded in agreement: "Go quickly."

The servant, who was so tired that he didn't want to walk half a step, wanted to cry without tears, but he could only thank the envoy with a red face, and followed the envoy into the eldest princess's mansion from the side door, and went to a clean room appointment out of nothing.

Two quarters of an hour later, when the servant came out of the eldest princess's mansion, his trembling steps were indeed prostration, as if he had been squatting in the clean room for three days and three nights.

Seeing it in his eyes, Duan felt a deep sense of conscience, and decided to go back and make up another five taels of silver.

The envoy of the eldest princess's mansion was suspicious.

After seeing Duan's carriage go away, the envoy went back to the eldest princess's residence and carefully inspected it inside and out.

After making sure that nothing was missing, the envoy couldn't help but fall into self-blame - what did she think, how could the dignified Duchess Zheng Guo come to the eldest princess's mansion to steal things?

Mrs. Duan is the best lady of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess during her lifetime, Mrs. Duan did not even follow the trip to worship her ancestors this time, and stayed in Beijing to worship Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and she actually speculated about people with the thoughts of such villains, is she still human?

The female envoy was ashamed, and Duan, who was sitting in the carriage with the stolen goods, had put away his sadness and was immersed in the joy of having his wish fulfilled.

She held Chang Sui Ning's hand, lowered her voice and sighed, "Ning Ning, your dream is really a god!"

Chang Sui Ning smiled and said nothing.

There's something more divine about her.

"I wonder if you can do my aunt another favor?" Duan's eyes were earnest, with a hint of pleading.

"Madame, please."

"If you have another chance to dream of Your Highness...... Can you help me ask where she was reincarnated?" There was a look of longing in Duan's eyes.

Chang Sui Ning paused for a moment and said, "Even if you can still dream, I think you haven't been reincarnated yet."

"......That's right, too" Duan thought for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Then can you talk to Your Highness, if she is reincarnated, she will come to me!"

「？」 Chang Sui Ning subconsciously looked at her abdomen, feeling slightly frightened.

Duan smiled a little uncomfortably, although she wanted to say that she was willing to work hard for His Royal Highness, she still chose to be more subtle in front of the juniors: "It's always good if you can join our Wei family, Zigu can't marry a daughter-in-law for a while, and she probably can't count on it...... If Your Highness can't wait, it will work to go to the second room."

Listening to the guide to reincarnation ideas provided by the Duan family, Chang Suining nodded as calmly as possible: "...... I'll pass it on when I get there."

"But...... It's been more than ten years, if His Highness hasn't been reincarnated for a long time, will there be some unfulfilled wishes?" Duan Shi thought about it instead.

"Perhaps." Chang Suining looked at the street outside the car through the corner of the wind-blown curtain.

Duan asked her to help ask the eldest princess about her unfulfilled wishes when she dreamed again.

Chang Suining nodded.

She has a last wish.

But she was going to come to the knot herself.

When the carriage passed by Dengtai Tower, Chang Suining's gaze stayed silent for a moment.

In the near future, she and Meng Lie may want to meet.

Outside the car, the wind was stronger, and the daylight was once again obscured by gray clouds.

It was only a little overcast in Beijing, but it was already raining at this time in the imperial mausoleum outside Beijing.

The morning fashion is a sunny day, but just after the ancestor worship ceremony, the sky suddenly changed, and the cold raindrops quickly fell down.

As a last resort, the Holy Emperor had no choice but to lead the hundred officials out of the altar and enter the inner hall to continue the unfinished process.

The rain falling in Chongyang is not a rare thing, but at this time, it is an eventful autumn, and this torrential rain that interrupts the ancestor worship ceremony inevitably breeds an ominous meaning, and this ominous spread silently among the officials.

After the ceremony, the Holy Emperor entered the inner hall of the imperial tomb alone, and quietly looked at the Li tablets placed on the shrine under the incense and candle offerings.

She was still wearing the sacrificial gown, and the crown of the Son of Heaven moved lightly on her gray hair.

The white candles and the everlasting lamps in the hall also flickered gently, reflecting in the eyes of the Holy Emperor who was already old and majestic.

She stood still for a long time before she spoke slowly in an uncertain tone.

"Even you are blaming me for punishing me—"

"I have done my best for the great prosperity of the country, and I have never done subversive actions for myself and the Ming family, but I still bear countless infamy...... However, if there is no immortality, there is no Ashan, how can the great prosperity of the country come to the peace of more than ten years?"

"I have lost my flesh and blood relatives for Dasheng, is it not wrong for me to give all this to Yu Dasheng's people who have no meritorious contributions?"

She asked every question, but the majestic tablets were destined not to give her an answer.

She didn't need their answers, she had them in her heart.

The sound of wind and rain outside the hall was bleak until the middle of the night.

Early the next morning, the holy driver set off for Beijing.

However, halfway through the road, heavy rain blocked the way.

The heavy rain missed the original rush plan, and the rain was not interrupted all the way, and when the holy driving party approached the capital division on this day, the sky was dark and the city gate was closed.

The Holy Emperor did not rush forward in a hurry, but ordered to rest in the Dayun Temple for a day before entering the city.

This is not a precedent, over the years in the imperial mausoleum to worship the ancestors, on the return trip to the holy car will stay in the Dayun Temple for a day or two, offering incense.

Everyone was tired from braving the cold rain and traveling, so they settled down in Dayun Temple, drank the hot soup sent by the monks, changed into dry clothes, and most of them rested early.

Cui Jing did not stop, and he didn't have time to change his wet robe, and he was arranging patrols with his subordinates in the corridor in front of the Daxiong Treasure Palace.

At this time, someone came with an umbrella in a big hat.

Cui Jing looked over.

The person who came took the umbrella and handed it to Changji, and walked towards Cui Jing.

"After the sage summons Cui Dadu to supervise the matter, he will go to the Heavenly Maiden Tower." Uncle Wei conveyed easily.

He discussed with the ministers and the sage, but the sage did not rest, but went to the Heavenly Maiden Tower in the rain, and explained that Cui Jing also went over.

Cui Jing bowed his head to indicate that he knew.

Wei Shuyi brought the words to the back, but he didn't leave in a hurry, as if he hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke, "Cui Dadu Du can move a step?"

Cui Jing glanced at him, then turned and walked in front.

Wei Shuyi followed.

The two walked to the end of the corridor, Yuan Xiang and Changji would stay not far away, and the two of them were on errands, not forgetting to fight with their eyes.

"What?" Cui Jing asked.

"I know today that after the hibiscus feast, the saint had secretly investigated where and what the lady had done in the early spring of February, and he had to investigate everything in detail...... Do you know why the saint did this?"

The noise of rain outside the corridor almost completely covered up Wei Shuyi's already cautiously suppressed voice.

But Cui Jing heard the words clearly, and there were waves in the depths of his heart.

In the dark corridor on a rainy night, Cui Jing looked at Wei Shuyi: "In February, she returned to Beijing with you. What happened to her in Hezhou at that time?"

He didn't want to explore what she hadn't said, but now he had to ask.
