Chapter 426: Qinghe County

Duanmu Mansion, which was already deserted, became even more deserted due to the funeral. There were no carriages and horses outside the door, and only the people in the mansion stayed in the courtyard. The mourning hall had been held for three days, and very few people came to mourn.

"Is Princess Duanyi here?" A group of palace maids dressed in gorgeous clothes suddenly appeared at the door.

"No...no...no...no." Xiao Yi was about to go out to welcome the monk who came to salvation, but happened to meet the palace servant first.

"Where is the third prince?" The head palace servant didn't know that the person in front of him was stuttering, and only thought that he was nervous because of fear.

"Another.........none." Xiao Yi was very puzzled, "You...you..."

"Is there anyone in charge of the house?" The palace servant was very impatient.

"Eunuch Cao, why are you here?" Xue Qing heard someone coming, and thought she was a friend who came to mourn Master Han.

"Miss Xueqing, are you here? I have been asking this person for a long time, but he can't answer a word. I'm so anxious." Xiao Caozi immediately smiled when he saw the familiar face.

"I have lost my wish, I hope my father-in-law doesn't mind." Xue Qing didn't expect that Xiao Caozi's appearance was gone. Her master was not by her side, and she didn't dare to call him Xiao Caozi. After all, everyone is growing up. Now Xiao Caozi is no longer the young father-in-law who blushed when she talks to a woman.

"When will your master come back?" Xiao Caozi felt that he had finally come here once, so he should meet the princess and the prince.

"It's a tough time for a while. Are there any urgent matters in Eunuch Cao?" Xue Qing looked embarrassed. She didn't dare to tell Xiao Caozi and his master that he had moved into the Shuoyi Mansion these two days, for fear that it would cause trouble for the master if it was heard in the emperor's ears.

"Then I won't wait for your master to come back. Let's help me find Han Ruoli to get the order." Xiao Caozi had a good impression of Yunguan, so he was naturally very respectful to his personal maid.

"Zhu~" Xueqing called Ruoli over for some reason, but she couldn't ask anything, so she could only act as she told her.

The senior official position was tortured to death, not to mention that this little Caozi was the subordinate of Eunuch Su and often accompanied the emperor. Although he was still young, Xueqing could only respect him.

Ruoli, this girl, had been working for Master Han for two days and two nights, and finally couldn't stand it anymore. She was persuaded by Xueqing for a long time before she fell asleep. Her already delicate body quickly lost weight because she stayed up late without eating or drinking. This made Xueqing feel very distressed when she saw it.

But Xiao Caozi said that if he wanted to leave, Xue Qing could only wake him up and help him to receive the order.

"In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor ordered that he would become a hero because of his loyalty to protect the lord. He posthumously named Han Sheng as the county duke. Because he had no son, he divided Qinghe County in Qingzhou as his daughter Han Ruoli inherited for his lifetime. He respected this." This was the first time that Xiao Caozi read the edict. He learned the expression and tone of Eunuch Su in a well-known way. "The emperor's grace is so great that he received the order."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." If Xue Qing hadn't reminded him on the side, Ruoli wouldn't know how she would respond, she was kneeling on the ground as if she was dreaming, and she could not understand what had happened.

"Thank you, long live my life~" All the people in Duanmu Mansion were summoned. Although everyone didn't know why this honor was? They both knelt down to thank Long En tacitly, and their actions were very neat.

If you want to unravel the reason why this edict came, this time has to go back to yesterday.

Shen Yishuo knelt silently in Xuande Hall in a long crow gown. He did not dare to disturb the father who was enjoying the scroll easily.

"Shuo'er is here." Perhaps it was a stick of incense that Shen Yixiang discovered that there was someone in the hall. Because he missed Concubine Yi, he took out all Gu Kaizhi's paintings and admired them alone.

"How is Father?" Shen Yishuo said with concern.

"It's okay to think of the old man." Shen Yixiang shook his head helplessly. No matter how much the deceased person thinks about him, it is not enough to soothe his soul.

"My father's health is pretty healthy? You're not frightened by the sacrificial priests!" Shen Yishuo heard Eunuch Su say that the emperor always had nightmares.

"I am so old, it's normal for some minor problems. How about Shuo'er's injury?" Shen Yixiang has never found out where the assassination person came from.

"Please rest assured, my son... this is just a minor injury, no obstacle." Shen Yishuo said and smiled...

"Thanks to Shuo'er's merit in saving the chariot, I felt very distressed that day. The arrow was stabbed too deeply, and you cut off a big piece of flesh by yourself." Shen Yixiang thought about it and was afraid that if his body was hit by that arrow at this age, even if he had no worries about his life, he would have to be bedridden for several days.

"It's just flesh and blood, just raise it. The father doesn't have to worry about his sons, just..." Shen Yishuo hesitated very much.

"What's the difficulty for Shuo'er? You have made contributions to saving the Lord. I can satisfy you any reasonable request." Shen Yixiang had guessed that the third prince had something to ask for.

———

"The night before yesterday, Erchen was attacked by a group of mysterious people. Fortunately, Erchen's friend blocked a fatal arrow for Erchen." Shen Yishuo shook his head regretfully.

"Has your friend died?" Shen Yixiang guessed at his dark clothes.

"That's right, my son feels deeply guilty and just wants to do something for it, alas." Shen Yishuo sighed heavily.

"Then what can I do for you? Or what do you want me to do for you?" Shen Yixiang looked at him with his eyes narrowed.

"I want to give up a city for this friend's child. I should be ignorant of the world at such a young age." This is the best way for Shen Yishuo to think of.

"Does Shuoer need my consent if he wants to give it to me?" Shen Yixiang questioned.

"Is it feasible for my son to ask my father to posthumously enthrone this person?" Shen Yishuo asked cautiously.

"Even if you give up the city, I can't be granted the title of marquis and promotion. How can I chase the title without making any military achievements? Besides..." Before Shen Yixiang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the person in front of him.

"Just just be granted a county official." Shen Yishuo didn't want to make things difficult for his father. After all, it was just a name and there was no need to be more greedy than the emperor.

"Don't Shuo'er feel sorry for? The county magistrate cannot inherit and continue." Shen Yixiang thought.

"No need for inheritance, this friend has only one daughter. My son only wants this person to enter the royal family and clan land, and the most marginal position is good." Shen Yishuo understood that only Master Han could make Yunguan feel at ease.

"Oh, then which city do you want to give up?" Shen Yixiang didn't guess what he bought in this gourd, so he asked directly.

"Everyone is fine, my father will choose whatever he wants." Shen Yishuo was very generous. His fief was in the southwest. It was once the poorest soil, but it was very rich under his control. Even if a city was given up, it would have no effect on him.

"Forget it, keep Shuo'er's fiefdom well. If you have made contributions to saving the Lord, I will fulfill your wish. It happened that Qinghe County has no jurisdiction recently, so I will give this small city to that girl and issue an order to posthumously named your friend as the county magistrate. You can handle the rest of the funeral." Shen Yixiang just wanted to test the attitude of the third prince. Give up a city and give up a city is not a big deal for the prince who was crowned with the king.
