When we took the incense and stepped forward to bow, I heard a sound coming from the side, which was the sound of a wooden wheel rolling over the floor. After we bowed three times and nine times, we handed the incense to the servants to offer it. When we turned around, we saw an old man with white haired hair being pushed out of the back hall in a wooden wheelchair.

I recognized it at a glance, and that was Gongsun Shu, the Marquis of Jin.

Liu Qinghan also saw him and immediately turned around.

We all met this old man at his wedding with Pei Yuanzhen. I still remember seeing him at that time, and he was sick and not angry at all. I heard that he had been sick for many years, so everything was decided by his son Gongsun Qi. Now, seeing him, although he is much older than before, his illness seems to be cured and he has a little energy.

He looked up at us, his gray beards trembled slightly, and he sat in a wheelchair and bowed to us: "You two are here."

"Marty."

I hurried forward to salute, and Liu Qinghan also bowed to him.

He turned his head and asked the butler beside him: "Did you guys have you ever had any fragrance?"

The housekeeper immediately said, "I've been there."

"Okay, that's fine."

As he said that, his expression became sad again and looked at the mourning hall with a hint of sadness.

Only then did I notice that although this mourning hall could not be as grand as the funeral of the emperor in the imperial city, it was already very grand at this time. All the patterns exceeded what their marquis’ mansion could use. Of course, there was a reason. The only strange thing was that a white curtain was hanging behind the incense table, covering the entire back hall and the spiritual slates offered. No one could see who was worshipped in the mourning hall.

I think he still has to avoid it.

Seeing the old man crying, the people around him hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes and advised him not to be too sad. Gongsun Shu choked for a long time before he raised his head and said to us: "I can't help but feel in love, I hope you two don't take it a chance."

I whispered: "The Marquis is in a deep relationship, so how can we be surprised?"

Liu Qinghan also nodded: "The Marquis Gao Yi, it's amazing."

Gongsun Shu took the handkerchief from the butler and wiped his nose, then said, "Since you two have already incense, let me take a break from behind."

After saying that, without waiting for us to say anything, someone pushed his wheelchair back. Liu Qinghan and I looked at each other. He nodded at me silently. The two of them followed. Xiao Yusheng and a few students also came to the front of the spirit to burn incense, letting them stay in the mourning hall and follow us back.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I heard the crying sounds in the mourning hall immediately.

The three of us followed Gongsun Shu in. The scenery of this marquis mansion seemed very good, and it was quite luxurious. It was so gorgeous that it seemed a bit out of place to set up a mourning hall in this place. Perhaps this is the reason. Gongsun Shu even used white cloth to wrap the red pillars in the yard and even some flowers and trees, and then a little bit of solemn first. Even so, the old man like him, who appeared in the garden, seemed very abrupt.

After a while, I arrived at the side hall.

Someone brought us tea, but we didn't drink it, just thanked us politely.

Gongsun Shuke politely said to us: "You two came from afar, and you should have let you rest and wash away the dust on your body. But now, there are still some things that are not finished, so I don't know what you two--"

Liu Qinghan sat in a chair and bowed to him: "Mr. Marquis is so serious. At present, he should put major issues first."

Gongsun Shu nodded: "Okay, the noble man is in the inner courtyard."

Liu Qinghan stood up and said, "I have some important things to do, and I'm about to go and explain them in detail first."

Gongsun Shu looked at him, then looked at me, and said, "Mr. Liu is dedicated to being a minister, which makes me admire him very much. Since that's the case, please let Mr. Liu go with me."

After saying that, the servant behind him pushed his wheelchair to the other side.

I stood up and said, "Qinghan--"

He turned around and looked at me and said, "Some serious things should be told to him first, you don't have to worry."

He glanced out the door and said, "You go see Miaoyan first."

"Um."

I nodded, watched him turn around and walk out with Gongsun Shu, but just walked to the door, stopped again, turned around and came to me, and whispered: "You meet Miaoyan, you can do whatever you say, don't mention me."

“…”

"I told her about my business myself."

It turned out that he still cared about this matter in his heart.

I nodded and whispered, "Be careful yourself."

"rest assured."

After he finished speaking, he left without looking back.

I kept standing in the side hall and watching his back move away. At this time, a few maids came over on the other side and asked me to come over. The meaning was very clear, but Xiao Yusheng was still a little worried. He did not go over with Liu Qinghan. Of course, he also knew that the words Liu Qinghan said in the past were not known to outsiders, but my safety is...

I turned around and said to him, "The places I go are all women, and it is not easy for you to go. Just stay here."

He thought for a while and said, "Be careful, Miss, call me if you have anything."

I smiled and said, "I know."

After saying that, he followed the waitresses.

The marquis' mansion is very big. The inner courtyard mentioned is not an independent courtyard, but the entire marquis' mansion is separated from the middle gate. I saw some servants and maids in the mansion busy, but when I arrived at the middle gate, I stopped because there were others guarding and serving others. Several maids took me in, handed me the sign to the guardian, and then walked along the corridor.

After walking for a while, I walked into a yard.

The door was closed, and a maid walked over and knocked on the door gently, whispered in. After receiving the response, she came over and said, "Ms. Yan, please come in."

My heart has already jumped up uncontrollably.

Sure enough, as soon as I walked into the room, I saw a familiar figure sitting there. She looked haggard but full of expectation. As soon as she saw me walking in, she immediately stood up: "Light!"

"Empress!"

I hurried over to salute her, and she helped me up: "No, don't be too polite-!"

When the two met, a feeling of indescribable sadness surged in their hearts. I saw that she had taken off the exquisite and gorgeous clothes in the imperial city. Her clothes were also gorgeous, but they were ordinary clothes.

It seems that she has suffered a lot these days.
