704. Accompanying the funeral, the ingots save the jade
The picture seems to be frozen like this, Jubao's last memory of Manzhu is that she smiled this time!
After that, whenever Jubao thought of Manzhu, his heart would ache faintly, but when he thought of her parting smile, his heart no longer hurt so much. Because he knew: she was doing well now.
The wind stopped, the rain came, Jubao walked in the rain, he let the rain hit his face and body, the two big men did not dare to make a sound, but carried the empty chair and followed behind. Jubao didn't know how he got back to the house in Sour Date City, he stayed in the empty courtyard, he didn't know when the twelve-year-old Waci stood behind him to hold an umbrella for him, and he didn't know that when his heart was broken, Waci's heart was also broken......
The news of the third prince's "death" soon spread back to the new capital of Chang'an, and for a while, Chang'an City shook.
The third prince is a royal family, and he is still the prince of the court, his funeral is naturally to be beautiful, Manzhu, who is still very weak, cried and fainted several times in the mourning hall of the third prince, she wanted to see the third prince for the last time, but was stopped by the ingot.
In just one month, two princes died in Fucheng Palace, one was a former regent, and the other was a prince of the dynasty, and the court held two state funerals!
After the third princess lost Guanyu the news of the third prince's "death", she didn't eat, drink, cry or make trouble, she didn't say a word, just sat like this. No one knew what she was thinking. According to the rules of the palace, when the prince died, all the concubines who had no birth and raising were to be buried together, and Gongyi Guanyu was not only the princess, but also the concubine of the three princes, she not only had to accompany the funeral, but also had to be buried with the three princes.
As soon as it was dark this night, Chief Steward Wang took a few eunuchs to the Puyi Hall of the Three Princes, and in the dormitory, Chief Manager Wang said to the Gongyu Guanyu, "Three princesses, you know the rules of the palace." Please don't embarrass us slaves. ”
Guanyu, who had been sitting on the edge of the bed, looked up at Manager Wang, and then at a white silk, a dagger, and a small bottle of poison in the tray in his hand, her eyes moved, and she stretched out her trembling hand to take out the white silk from the tray.
Seeing her so calm, Manager Wang was obviously relieved, but he felt helpless, "Third princess, do you want to do it yourself?" or do you want the minions to help you?"
Guanyu waved his hand at him lightly and motioned for them to go out.
Manager Wang hesitated for a moment, and said to a few eunuchs behind him, "Let's go, come back later......" to collect the body, and finally these two words Manager Wang did not utter.
"Jin Gongzi is here!" came the eunuch's shrill voice outside the door.
Manager Wang hurriedly walked outside the door to greet him, "Young Master Jin, why are you ...... All of a sudden?"
Yuan Bao, whose face was pale, said, "Manager Wang, I have a few words below, and I want to tell the third princess alone, can you make it easier for you to go down." ”
Manager Wang's face was embarrassed, although the gold ingots were the best friends of the ninth princess and the third princess, and he was a frequent visitor to the Fucheng Palace, but if he wanted to be alone with the new widow princess, it didn't seem to be in accordance with the rules.
Yuan Bao saw that the manager Wang was embarrassed, so he said again, "It was the ninth princess who asked me to come over." ”
Chief Manager Wang was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Since this is the case, then Jin Gongzi, please do it!" Chief Manager Wang said to the palace people in the palace, "You go down first." ”
"Yes!" said in unison.
As the heavy wooden door of the dormitory closed, there were only two people left in the inner room, Jin Yuan Bao and Gong Guanyu, Yuan Bao walked to the bed and sighed lightly, "Three princesses." ”
Guanyu looked at Jin Yuan Bao with a strange and even a little hateful gaze, and she finally spoke, "Jin Gongzi, this palace asks you, how did the third prince die?"
The gold ingot's lips moved, but he couldn't say anything.
Guan Yu raised his voice, "The Ninth Prince, he announced to the outside world that the Third Prince, he suffered from a vicious illness and died suddenly. Jin Gongzi, others may not know the body of the Third Prince, don't you know? He is so healthy and strong, how could he suddenly fall ill and die!"
"Three princesses......" Yuanbao's tone was full of helplessness.
"Jin Gongzi, the death of the third prince is really strange. Guanyu continued, "This palace wanted to see the prince for the last time, but was stopped by a few eunuchs guarding the spirit. Jin Gongzi, don't you think it's very strange? This palace is the princess's concubine, and the prince's body can't even be seen in this palace. ”
Yuan Bao sighed heavily, "Third Princess, what you said is right, those eunuchs who guard the spirit of the prince are not real eunuchs. ”
"And who they are?"
"They're masters of the arrangement. ”
"Master, Jin Gongzi, why are you doing this?"
"Because you can't let anyone near the coffin of the third prince. ”
"Why!?Jin Gongzi, why are you doing this?"
"The third princess," Jin Yuanbao looked directly into Guanyu's eyes and said word by word, "because the body of the third prince is not in the coffin at all!"
Guanyu gasped, she was stunned for a moment, her eyes lit up slightly, "Jin Gongzi, you mean that the prince is not dead!"
Yuan Bao shook his head, "No, Lord Wang, he has indeed gone." ”
Guanyu looked lonely, her eyes were red, "Lord Wang, he ...... It's true...... Already ......"
"Yes. Yuan Bao said, "On the morning of the third prince's death, I saw him in Xia. At that time, the third prince seemed to have expected that something would happen to him, and he had to promise him three things. ”
"Three things?"
"Yes. The second thing that the third prince wanted to promise him was to cremate his body after his death, and then scatter his ashes somewhere. He said that the happiest and happiest years of his life were spent there. ”
"Where is that?"
"Third Princess, please forgive me for not being able to tell you about this location, I'm really sorry. ”
"The happiest, the happiest...... The prince ...... "Guanyu's tears finally fell," he had originally had a happy and happy time. What about two things?"
"The third thing he wants to do next is about the third princess. ”
"About Hongu?"
"Yes. Yuan Bao said, "The third prince, he will rescue you and send you to the helm of the other side gate." ”
"The other side gate, the most mysterious gang in the world, the other side gate, the chief rudder, how could the third prince know where its chief rudder is? Jin Gongzi, who are you?"
"You don't have to worry about this third princess. You just have to say a word, would you like to follow along?"
"Hongu's brain is very messy, Hongu ...... I don't know...... I really don't know ......."
"In fact, in addition to the third prince, there is another person who also asked to save your life. ”
"Who?"
"Nine Princesses!"
"She, why did she save Hongu?"
She cried and fainted several times in the mourning hall of the third prince, because of excessive grief, she had already moved the fetus. Third Princess, you can't live up to the Ninth Princess's wishes! The Third Princess's accident has already happened, if you have anything else, the Ninth Princess will not be able to live. ”
