Song Huaiyi stood in front of him and said in a low voice: "This time my mother died of illness, and the matter came suddenly, but we were not completely prepared. However, the ancestral tombs of the Song family temples and ancestral graves were all in Cangzhou... and two days later, it will be the grand ceremony of the prince's ascension. We naturally want to congratulate the prince, but--"

He seemed to be unable to say anything at this point, and Pei Yuanxiu raised his eyebrows and looked at him. His eyes suddenly flashed, as if he understood something, and nodded gently and said, "So that's it."

At this time, I also understood.

They want to send Ling back to Cangzhou.

However, tomorrow will be Pei Yuanxiu's ascension ceremony, which is a major event that is noticeable in the world. Their Song family is a powerful force to help Pei Yuanxiu ascend to the throne, and it is also a representative of the northern forces. They not only want to appear, but also have to appear, which not only reflects their loyalty to Pei Yuanxiu, but also reflects Pei Yuanxiu's attention to them. This is an indispensable etiquette between the monarch and the ministers.

But, Old Mrs. Zhang did not survive this late spring cold, and the people of the Song family were very filial. It was indeed too difficult to let them choose between loyalty and filial piety.

But, what would they choose?

Song Huaiyi leaned over and stood in front of Pei Yuanxiu and whispered: "I'd like to forgive me for your sins. My mother's coffin has already seen the time. Only when she set off after the day of her life is the best. The little dog Song Xuan, my mother liked the most during her lifetime. She mentioned several times after entering Beijing that she would accompany her to Cangzhou in the future. I really couldn't bear to brush her wish, so, so-"

Seeing that he was already hard to speak, Pei Yuanxiu said calmly: "So the day after tomorrow, the second young master of Song wants to help the spirit back to Cangzhou, right?"

Song Huaiyi knelt down with a pounce: "Please forgive me for your crime."

Pei Yuanxiu stood up and helped him up, and said gently: "Mr. Song is so serious. Death is the greatest. The second young master wants to help the spirits back to Cangzhou, which is also for you to fulfill his filial piety. How could I not agree? Mr. Song should not worry about this matter anymore."

Song Huaiyi lowered his head, sobbing in tears, "Thank you, young master."

Pei Yuanxiu said: "When did you see it right?"

"It's noon the day after tomorrow."

"oh."

When Pei Yuanxiu heard the news, he didn't say anything else, but he seemed to have a subconscious pause.

When I heard this point of time, I was slightly stunned - in this way, it means that Song Xuan’s departure was just a coincidence with Pei Yuanxiu’s throne ceremony.

The day after tomorrow...

It just happened to be staggered with Pei Yuanxiu's throne ceremony?

My heart skipped a beat. At this moment, Pei Yuanxiu had already supported Song Huaiyi and comforted him for a few words before turning around and walking back to his seat to sit down. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he looked at me and asked, "Are you okay?"

"ah?"

I looked up at him and said quietly: "It's okay."

After saying that, rubbed his fingertips.

Seeing my fingertips that were a little white with cold, he pushed the tea in front of me and said, "If you are afraid of the cold, drink some hot tea."

I nodded and picked up the tea bowl. Seeing that I was cold, Song Huaiyi hurriedly asked someone to come in with a brazier. I didn't say anything, so I sat there quietly, chatted with Mrs. Song on my side for a few words, talked about some things about Mrs. Zhang during his lifetime, and shed tears in pain. Pei Yuanxiu and the others also persuaded me.

Because of crying, the servants outside quickly brought hot water and handkerchiefs to clean our faces. Mrs. Song and I went to the inner hall with me. The two of them cleaned a little before going out. Then they saw Song Xuan standing outside, as if they were talking to Pei Yuanxiu and the others. Seeing that I was coming out, they leaned over and said, "Ms. Yan."

At this time, he seemed to have a little bit of energy.

I nodded, and didn't say anything to him, so I walked to the previous seat and sat down, then looked up at him.

Just now, Pei Yuanxiu asked him to come in and talk about how to help the spirits back to Cangzhou the day after tomorrow. He said one by one, and finally said: "Go out of the south gate at noon. At that time, I would like to ask the young master and Mr. Xie to tell Mr. Xie in advance. We will only go out at that time and will never delay the main business."

When I heard his last sentence, I was stunned for a moment.

Then I understood.

The day after tomorrow, naturally, it was the time when Pei Yuanxiu ascended the throne ceremony. Normally, because we should prevent people from breaking into the capital and causing chaos at that time, and we should also prevent hostile forces from contacting people from outside the capital to incite, the Nine Gates of the Capital would be closed at that time, but they saw that Song Xuan wanted to help the spirits back to Cangzhou, and he wanted to leave at that time.

I turned to look at Pei Yuanxiu. Obviously he was hesitant for a moment, but almost no one noticed it. He nodded calmly: "I will give Xie Feng the order."

Song Xuan hurriedly knelt down and bowed to the ground: "Thank you, my son, for your kindness."

"Get up," Pei Yuanxiu waved his hand and said, "The dead are the most important thing. I will do my best to do my best to Mrs. Zhang's affairs."

The people from the Song family thanked him with gratitude. It was just the time to mourn, and they all sued and retreated. Only Pei Yuanxiu and I, as well as Eunuch Liu and a few eunuchs who were accompanying them, and as well as their maids and servants stood outside waiting for their orders.

Although there were many people, they did not smell a cough and wheezing. Everyone didn't even dare to serve him here. Pei Yuanxiu didn't say anything. He just lowered his head and took a sip of tea, but did not put down the tea bowl. Instead, he seemed to be thinking about something.

I glanced at him and didn't say anything.

At this time, the sound of the servants raising their sorrows came from outside, and I couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing my sigh, he was immediately interrupted and looked up at me: "What's wrong?"

"Ah?" I seemed to have just come back to my senses, and only looked at him, then shook my head: "It's nothing, I just--"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this point, your eyes turn red.

He immediately put down the teacup in his hand: "Are you sad again?"

I didn't say anything, just lowered my head, tears condensed between my eyelashes.

He leaned over to the armrest of the chair, reached out to cover the back of my hand, and said softly: "Didn't you agree to me? I asked you to come, but you can't let your temper be too sad."

I said in a hoarse voice: "I said that, but I can't control my sadness."

He said: "Only people can be liberated if they forget their feelings."

“…!”

I was slightly stunned and turned to look at him.

Of course I am not unfamiliar with this sentence. This is not the first time he has told me these two words.

Forget about love.

Only by being absolutely able to avoid pain; only by forgetting emotions can one get liberation.

Maybe he has done this, so no matter who dies, it is just a wind blowing across the lake. There may be a ripple, but it cannot leave any trace. But I - I am just a mortal in the world after all, I will be happy for life and sad for death, and I will never forget my feelings.

I looked down at the hand that was covering my back, and I was silent for a long time, without saying anything more.

After a while, the sound of mourning outside slowly calmed down. Song Huaiyi and the others probably exchanged a few more greetings with the guests, then hurried back here and reminded the servants to exchange hot tea. Pei Yuanxiu looked at the sky outside and said, "It's almost time, we're going to prepare to return to the palace."

Song Huaiyi hurriedly said, "Young Master, it's not too late. I have asked someone to prepare some vegetarian food. Don't dislike it--"

He was a little too attentive in doing this, and naturally it was because of the spiritual support this time. If Pei Yuanxiu was a narrow-minded person, he would not only refuse to agree, but he would also blame them. But even so, he had already agreed. The people of the Song family were very cautious and wanted to try their best to win his favor and trust, which was a kind of compensation.

Pei Yuanxiu thought about it, turned to look at me: "You——"

I nodded and said, "Okay, I'm just a little hungry."

When Pei Yuanxiu heard me say this, he nodded and said, "Okay, we'll use vegetarian food before leaving."

Song Huaiyi immediately looked at me gratefully, and I just nodded slightly at him. Immediately, he ordered someone to come and serve the meal.

This is considered a midnight snack. Although it is a vegetarian food, the vegetarian food in the Song family will definitely not be simple. Some dishes are even very exquisitely cooked, not inferior to those with big fish and big meat.

However, no matter how exquisite the dishes are, with a variety of colors and flavors, it is impossible to arouse my good appetite at this time. I just wanted to stay for a moment, and barely took a few bites, and then I had someone put half a bowl of hot soup to prepare for drinking.

Looking at Song Xuan who was busy outside, his face was pale, as if no one cared, and no one could enter his eyes. He could only look at me intentionally or unintentionally when entering and leaving, but without waiting for anyone to notice, he was going to do his own thing again.

I didn't want to find another opportunity to get close to him, so I just focused on drinking my half bowl of soup.

At this moment, someone hurriedly ran in outside.

There were many servants who were coming and going to the Song family before, but when I looked up, I saw that the man was not a servant of the Song family, but instead he looked like a servant who came out with us in the palace. He walked outside and said a few words to Eunuch Liu. Eunuch Liu hurried in and said in a low voice: "Young Master."

Pei Yuanxiu was also drinking the soup with a bowl of soup, looking up at him: "Hmm?"

Eunuch Liu walked behind him, leaned down and said something lightly in his ear.

Just like before, when I was having dinner with Song Xuan, Mrs. Song and Song Yiyi, Eunuch Liu's words only sounded in his ears. I listened with great difficulty, and seemed to hear only the last few words - I went to Beijing.

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Yuanxiu's expression changed suddenly.
