Just when Zheng Quqi was in deep thought, outside the door, the old housekeeper Chang Yue came to ask for instructions with a blank face: "Madam, excuse me, the list of condolences guests for tomorrow has just been prepared, and I hope you can take a look." ”

Because the body has been left for too long, it cannot be kept in the mourning hall often to stink, so the time for handling the funeral is quite tight.

The old housekeeper often had to stay up late to arrange everything properly, but some things that needed to be decided by the master's family, he was forced to come over late to bother.

Zheng Quqi knew that the whole house must be busy tonight, so she called someone in, and after taking a long list of officials from the DPRK and China and browsing them one by one, she looked at Yuan Xingzhou.

She deliberately said: "The prince can refer to the details together, tomorrow at the funeral of my husband Junyu Wensheng, who has not been notified?" ”

Yuan Xingzhou didn't refuse, he stretched out his hand to take it, and glanced at the list: "There is no omission, but there are some people who are redundant, and those who don't exist will be directly crossed." ”

He raised his hand, Chang Yue had the eyesight, and immediately presented the pen, and he eliminated his name.

Every time he crossed out, it meant that there would be no such person in Shengjing from now on.

Zheng Quqi: "......" asked you to add people, you were kind, and directly found a bunch of people to go to the underworld to accompany her dead ghost husband, she suddenly felt that the sky above this Shengjing was gloomy, and it was impossible to say that the guests would be too busy to clone tomorrow.

"Felons who died under the edict are not allowed to set up private mourning halls for funerals and condolences, and you don't have to worry about the deserted house tomorrow." Yuan Xingzhou glanced at her with a smile.

Returning the pen and list to Chang Yue, he was also interested, and saw that His Royal Highness the Prince and his wife had important matters to discuss, and he retired first after finishing the matter.

Zheng Quqi was seen through by him, and he didn't defend anything, her eyebrows were pressed, and she looked worried: "Tomorrow, the people of the Yuwen family will definitely come to make trouble, and the courtiers want to ask His Highness to do me a favor." ”

Yu Wensheng said: "Let's talk about it." ”

"The marriage contract between the courtiers and Yu Wensheng who was suppressed by the former king was approved and submitted to the household department for record, so that he and I can become a legitimate couple." She was right.

After Zheng Quqi said this, he stared at Yuan Xingzhou for a moment, not wanting to miss any expression on his face.

She thought to herself, if Yuan Xingzhou really loved her, it stands to reason that he would not respond to this matter easily, and he would even be surprised that she and Yu Wensheng were only husband and wife in name, but there was no de facto marriage.

But if he should go down...... It's getting more and more confusing.

Yuan Xingzhou looked stunned when he heard this, and then his Adam's apple moved slightly, as if he was surprised: "You want to succeed in a real couple with him?" ”

"Yes." Zheng Quqi should take a bite.

"Even if he's dead?"

"Yes."

"Are you willing?"

He repeatedly asked her about her determination, and she took the trouble to repeat: "Yes." ”

Finally, Yuan Xingzhou saw her resoluteness from her attitude, although he knew that there was a hint of her temptation, but for a person who had already been confused, how could he resist the forbidden fruit of temptation on the tree.

Yuan Xingzhou's scarlet lips curled, his pupils dilated slightly because of the pleasant color, and his thin lips opened lightly: "Lonely to you." ”

He agreed.

Zheng Quqi's heart tightened suddenly.

It was as if all the blood in her body was rushing into her heart at once, and she slowly slowed down her breathing, and during the breathing, no one knew what psychological construction she had experienced, complex ups and downs.

After being silent for a moment, she blinked her thick eyelashes, and her eyes returned to their normal looks, she first thanked her, and then said: "It's late at night, is Your Highness planning to return to the palace, or will you stay in the General's Mansion?" ”

Although she said it politely, she was giving an eviction order.

Yuan Xingzhou naturally understood, but he was unwilling to leave, some words could be clicked to the end, but since some things had already been "half-covered by the pipa", why not just uncover it.

"Zheng Quqi, the marriage contract between you and Yu Wensheng has actually been on Lone's desk all along, but Lone has never stamped it for you, do you know why?"

Zheng Quqi raised his eyes, a pair of starry bright eyes, gathered two clusters like sparks quenched in the pupils: "Shizi, the courtier's husband is still lying in the mourning hall right now, and now the courtier's wife is in a very bad mood and doesn't want to discuss these things with you, can you let me calm down first?" ”

Her tone was so stiff that she didn't want to maintain a superficial politeness with him, her little face was tense and serious, as if he had touched her bottom line, and if he tried to take another step forward, she would show sharp claws.

Yuan Xingzhou knew that she was in a very bad mood at the moment, but he wasn't sure what caused her, since she didn't want to talk about it tonight, then the day would be long, he was busy with affairs, so he would not stay in the General's Mansion, but returned to the palace overnight.

After Yuan Xingzhou left, Zheng Quqi walked to the bookcase, she drew the tattoo on the inside of the corpse's wrist on a piece of paper from memory, and then she blew out all the candles in the room for fear of being watched.

The black light blinded, she stood by the window alone, the moonlight fell, she was dressed in plain clothes and hair, the wind blew, her figure was thin and delicate, she called out: "Blue Moon." ”

Immediately, a short and dexterous figure jumped off the eaves and came to her.

"Lord." Blue Moon clasped her fists and saluted.

I don't know when Lan Yue no longer calls her Madame, but changes to the lord, and this change in her title only shows one thing, she is now fully loyal to Zheng Quqi alone.

Zheng Quqi handed her the drawing paper in his hand.

"Have you ever seen this pattern on paper?"

Lan Yue took the paper, took a closer look through the moonlight, and then her expression seemed to be surprised, and after hesitating for a moment, she said: "Lord, this is not actually a pattern, but a number, it belongs to the Immortal Sect, I have never seen this number, this can only show ...... It belongs to the most senior ones in the door. ”

Lan Yue's words were very informative, and Zheng Quqi could only grasp one of the key points after listening to it: "What do you mean that you haven't seen this yet?" Have you ever seen a lot of people with this number? ”

Blue Moon rolled up her sleeves, revealing the tattoo number on her arm.

She said: "Because Blue Moon is also a secret guard trained by the Immortal Gate, Blue Moon is numbered 17, but this seventeen is different from the number recognized by ordinary people, it can only be recognized by our people from the Immortal Gate, Seventeen has seen the number of the secret guard from eighteen to a hundred and a hundred, but I have never seen more than sixteen, this number Blue Moon can recognize that it is used by the Immortal Gate, but it is not clear which one is above the seventeenth." ”

Zheng Quqi couldn't come back to his senses for a long time after listening to it.

"Are you sure?"

"Blue Moon is sure."

"Immortal Gate? So what is the relationship between Changshengmen and Yuwensheng? She asked again.

Lan Yue did not hide it: "General Yuwen is the master of the Immortal Gate, and all the secret guards are born for him, the four of us were sent to the Lord's side, and explained that since then, we have separated from the Immortal Gate, and General Yuwen is no longer our master, and we only obey Mrs. Yu's orders." ”

Therefore, the corpse and the Blue Moon are all from the Immortal Sect, and the secret guards cultivated by the Immortal Sect are all for Yu Wensheng to serve as secret guards......

This relationship is clear and clear.

She thought she had just found a clue, but she didn't expect that she would directly turn over the vines that were tied to her.

"Okay, I see, you can step back first." Zheng Quqi's eyebrows suddenly gave birth to a lot of tiredness, as if he was overwhelmed by some huge amount of information.

Lan Yue looked at her worriedly, but seeing that she just wanted to be alone and quiet, and didn't want others to be there, she swallowed what she wanted to say: "Yes." ”

Lan Yue also gave the piece of drawing paper, and then disappeared in front of Zheng Quqi's eyes.

Zheng Quqi clenched the piece of paper tightly, and his expression seemed to be angry: "Stand-in......"

No wonder Fu Rong is needed, without Fu Rong, how can he come up with a corpse that can be faked and real?

The silent courtyard was silent, and the autumn and winter who were keeping vigil in the side room were waiting for the dispatch rigorously, but suddenly heard an extremely angry roar from the bedroom of the general's wife - "Your sister, if Lao Tzu doesn't cry when he plays this time, Lao Tzu won't be called Zheng Quqi!" ”

The two of them were so frightened that they hurriedly ran forward and shouted nervously, "Husband, madam, what's the matter?" ”

The person inside paused, then cleared his throat, tried to restrain his anger, and said, "It's okay! You don't have to keep vigil, go back and rest. ”

"Yes." Seeing that Mrs. seemed to be really fine, they breathed a sigh of relief, but Mrs. Fang Cai was good in the room alone, why did she suddenly burst into dialects, and when she heard that the people in Fuxian County were unhappy, they were so catchy "Lao Tzu", and they didn't know whether it was true or not.

——

The day was just slightly bright, Zheng Quqi, who had not fallen asleep all night, turned over and sat up, and it happened that the old housekeeper Chang Yue sent her a set of newly customized mourning clothes, and after she put it on, she had breakfast, during which the old housekeeper Chang Yue reported to her one by one the situation in the house and today's arrangements.

Subsequently, she went to the mourning hall with the old housekeeper and the four people of spring, summer, autumn and winter, she knew something about the funeral etiquette, but her era had very different rules from this era, so she did not understand, and the housekeeper followed her step by step, carefully reminding her of each step.

On the importance of having a competent and loyal housekeeper in a home.

Before noon, a lot of people came one after another, including officials from the DPRK and China, and family members of officials, all of whom had an interest in the Yuwen family, or had personal contacts.

As the saying goes, people go to tea and cool, how glorious the General's Mansion used to be, but it did not prevent the master's family from leaving, and it ended up in a bleak and desolate scene.

After these people enter the mourning hall, they must first greet the bereaved families, roughly expressing their condolences and care for them, and the location of Yu Wensheng's bereaved families, it seems, no more, no less, only Zheng Quqi is alone, no matter how much there is around, it will be gone.

Different from the "lively" of other people's relatives who have old and young relatives crying collectively, the mourning hall can be described as cold and clear, quiet and quiet, not to mention crying, even the atmosphere of sobbing and sadness is quite light. (End of chapter)
