Eunuch Liu said that it was discovered in the morning.

After entering Beijing, Old Lady Zhang's spirit has been getting better and worse. Recently, she has been depressed. She has not seen any symptoms when she finds a doctor, so she can only drink medicine to take care of her.

It was said that last night, the old man suddenly felt energetic and called Song Yiyi and Song Xuan and other grandchildren to come to the front. They talked and laughed with them for a long time. Everyone thought that the old man was in good spirits and felt relieved.

As a result, she didn't get up very late this morning. Everyone thought that she slept too late last night and didn't urge her. But as time became late, the last maid plucked up the courage to push the door in, and found that Old Lady Zhang had gotten up at some point, put on her clothes and combed her hair neatly. She sat on the head of the bed, and she was already exhausted and cold.

Just left like this.

I know that this late spring cold came too quickly, and some elderly people are very difficult to survive.

But what I didn't expect was that Old Lady Zhang actually...

I couldn't hide it, and I couldn't help crying bitterly. Although Pei Yuanxiu tried his best to comfort me, the old man was already at this age, and it was a matter of time to leave like this; and it was a relief to leave so peacefully and surrounded by children and grandchildren. I actually understood in my heart, and I could even realize that the night before she left, she must be very relieved to look at Song Yiyi's happy appearance and the heroic and upright appearance of her grandchildren, but I still couldn't help crying bitterly, and even cried several times so hard that I almost fainted.

Maybe it's because too many things have happened these days, but I have to suppress myself and cannot show any emotions. Finally, I can vent my feelings at this time, and I can't control myself.

Pei Yuanxiu stayed with me all the time. By the middle of the night, my eyes were almost swollen and my tears almost dried up. He sat beside me, gently wiped the corners of my eyes with a soft handkerchief, and then sighed and said, "Don't cry anymore. If you continue like this, your eyes will be broken."

Although the tears stopped, the sadness in my heart continued to flow like a tide.

I choked and said, "I, I want to send her."

When Pei Yuanxiu heard this, he immediately said, "No."

"Why?" I looked up at him, and was a little anxious: "She is leaving, why can't I go?"

Pei Yuanxiu looked down at my stomach and said, "You can't go to such a place now!"

“…”

"Besides, you are so sad now. If you get to the mourning hall, you will definitely be even more painful. You can no longer use your own temperament."

"But--"

"Glow, you have to be obedient!" He said slowly in a low voice: "I know you are in love with Old Lady Zhang, but no matter how you are in love, you are in order, and you will be my queen. I can just send someone to attend her funeral, but you can't go there in person."

I wanted to argue with him, but seeing his worried look, especially when my eyes were on my stomach, I suddenly felt a little short of breath and could not even speak out the words that were about to burst out.

But I still can't bear to give up. Old Mrs. Zhang is definitely not just an elder who is in love with me. In this case, what will the Song family perform, what will Song Xuan and others react, and even Pei Yuanxiu's attitude will have a crucial impact on the future!

I hesitated for a while, slowed down and said softly, "But, you haven't ascended the throne yet, aren't you?"

He looked up at me.

I looked at him with a pitiful look, with tears in my eyes: "I have not been officially enthroned yet. In short, we - I am still her junior, aren't we?"

“…”

"I told you before that I got close to the Song family because I was in love with them and hoped to have more contact with them in the future. Whether it is your queen or as myself, I hope to have a good relationship with the Song family."

He seemed to be slightly moved when he heard this.

Seeing his eyes flashing, the expression between his eyebrows was a little loose, I continued, "Now, the old man left is the top priority of the Song family. Of course, you will give enough face to send someone over, but after being faced, you still need some innocence."

“…”

I lowered my head and said softly: "There is not only a kind of exchange between people, but also a kind of favor, right?"

“…”

He fell silent.

After a long time, he looked at me and whispered: "Do you really want to go that much?"

I said, "I think I will at least send the old man the last journey."

Seeing that he was still hesitating, I said again: "I just go and see it, it won't affect... my body."

He glanced at my stomach, was silent for a while, and finally sighed lightly, as if he was unable to argue, and said, "Let's do this, they will set up a spirit for three days, and on the third night, I'll send you there."

I looked up at him in surprise: "That's great!"

"But you have to promise me," he looked at my eyes solemnly and said word by word: "Don't be willful, don't be too sad, your body is important. Moreover, after that day, another day will be my throne ceremony. I don't want to see a queen who is too sad and damaged in her body stand with me. Do you understand?"

He said this sentence very gently, with one hand gently covering my hand, even with a little soothing meaning, but every word of his was heavy on my heart.

I know that if I were disobedient, things would not be as gentle as his tone.

I nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."

He felt relieved and reached out and slowly brought me into his arms, sighing softly: "Don't worry about you anymore."

I leaned in his arms, without struggling or responding, just looked at the flashing candlelight on the table and slowly closed my eyes.

In the next two days, although I didn’t live like a year, I felt so uncomfortable every hour by fingering. Moreover, in front of Pei Yuanxiu, I had to maintain my usual mood and attitude, and not be too sad or too sad. After two days, although others couldn’t feel it, I still felt a little weak.

Fortunately, it was time to go out of the palace to attend the funeral in the evening.

The sky finally cleared at this time.

The dark clouds that had accumulated over the capital for several days disappeared, and a bright red light shone out from the sky, but in my eyes, it seemed a little sad.

I prepared a plain white dress early on, and at this time I changed into it and was about to go out. When I just walked to the driveway and got in the car, Pei Yuanxiu's voice came from beside me: "Wait for me."

When he turned around, he saw that he was also wearing a white long dress and a white fox fur cloak hung on his arm. I was a little surprised: "You——"

"I'll go with you."

"ah?"

I was a little surprised. He didn't say that day, the superiority and inferiority are in order. After all, Old Lady Zhang is just an old man from the minister's family. She passed away. It was already a very grand thing for me to go to the mourning hall to pay tribute. Why did he also want to go?

Looking at my shocked expression, he seemed to guess what I was thinking, and he said lightly: "You are right."

“…”

"Anyway, I will not ascend the throne until the post-genius. Today, I am indeed her junior."

“…”

When I heard him say this, I lowered my head. He spread his hand and put it on me with the big cloak, and said with a little reproachful tone: "If I don't go with you, will you really not be able to take care of yourself? It's windy at night and you're dressed so thin, are you thinking about getting sick after being cold?"

When I lifted my body, I didn't dare to say anything. I reached out and pulled the cloak tightly.

He waved his hand and asked the carriage to come over, and helped me get on the carriage together, and soon drove out of the palace gate.

When I arrived at the Song Mansion, it was completely dark.

As soon as we approached, we could hear the sound of monks chanting scriptures and Buddhas coming from inside. Two huge white lanterns under the eaves of the door emitted a cold white light. Because people had been sent to inform us, the gate was already full of waiting people.

As soon as the carriage stopped and the curtains shook, I saw Song Huaiyi and his brother standing at the door in maroon clothes, waiting respectfully.

Pei Yuanxiu got off the carriage first and then helped me down.

Immediately, Song Huaiyi brought his family to welcome him and said in unison: "Welcome to the young master and Miss Yan."

Pei Yuanxiu said to him: "Duke Song, I feel sorry for you."

Song Huaiyi was originally an energetic middle-aged man, but at this time, he was probably because of excessive grief, his eyes were red and covered with blood. His temples were shining by the light of the white lantern or for some other reason, but there was a little frost. He seemed to have grown ten years old overnight.

Hearing the word "sadness" that Pei Yuanxiu said, he gritted his teeth and held back tears. His whole body twitched slightly before he reluctantly replied, "Thank you, young master."

I looked at the people around him. The Song family and other gentry families I met were glorious on the surface, and they were different from the inside of open and secret struggles. Their family was also quite affectionate, so everyone was very sad, and some were even weak in their emotions. They had already hid in the corner and started to wipe their tears again.

At this time, I saw Song Xuan.

He was wearing a sluggish robe and a white robe tied around his waist. He was usually majestic and extraordinary young man. At this time, he stood there like a puppet with red eyes and stared at the ground in front of him. Although his father, who had just followed him, also saluted us, I felt that he didn't seem to know what he was doing.
