The queen has so many tricks

Chapter 87 Returning to the Capital ([-])

Before returning to the capital, Chang Ji went to Shen Shan's cemetery again.She placed the white flags blown down by the wind one by one along Yuan Che's mausoleum, and cleaned up the dead paper left on the tombstone.She brought wine and sat by the tombstone drinking alone.

Poured a glass for Yuan Che, she held up the glass and said: "You don't usually drink alcohol, but tomorrow I go to Lidu, so give me a farewell drink."

As he spoke, he poured the glass of wine on the tombstone.

She took two sips from the flagon, leaned on the tombstone and said, "I don't drink too much. You usually don't allow me to drink. I don't really want to drink, but you bring it back every time you go to Yangtu Mansion." The fruit wine is delicious. My brother and the others said that the baijiu is also delicious, so I really want to try it. So, I secretly drank it twice with my brother..."

She raised her head and took a sip. The wine was too strong, her throat was burning, and her eyes were hot.

She choked, wiped the corners of her mouth and said: "After secretly drinking baijiu a few times, I still like to drink the fruit wine you brought back from Yangtu Mansion. You didn't make the fruit wine alone, right? You were in Shenshan I never made wine at that time, and I only made wine when I went to Yangtu Mansion. You and that Xishan girl made wine together, right? Sometimes when I think about it, I’m really jealous of her..."

She smiled wryly twice: "Now that you are gone, that Xishan girl must be very sad. But you never told me who she is, and I can't even try to comfort her..."

She then took a few sips, curled herself up into a ball holding the flagon, and sobbed uncontrollably.It wasn't until the sun set that she returned to her usual cool appearance.Standing up from Yuan Che's tomb, the setting sun stretched her figure obliquely on the ground.

She stretched out her hand to caress the tombstone and said, "Yuan Che, I'm leaving."

He said he wanted to leave, but his hand stroked the tombstone lingeringly for a while.When the last rays of the setting sun were about to sink into the sky, she finally turned around, only to find that Yanjiang was standing silently among the pines and cypresses not far away.

He kept looking at Chang Ji, and when Chang Ji saw him, he walked straight over.

Chang Ji said, "Have you been here all this time?"

She hasn't seen Yanjiang since she went back to Shenshan Mansion for the funeral. Thinking about it now, he should have been guarding near Yuanche's tomb.

Standing in front of her along the river, he said expressionlessly, "Are you going to Lidu?"

Chang Wei said: "Yes."

Along the river: "Are you alone?"

Nagao nodded.

The two of them were silent for a while, then Chang said: "You have always been with Yuan Che, now that he is gone, you don't have to stay here for him. This world is so big, do what you want, he will feel at ease .”

After all, she walked past Yanjiang, went straight forward, and walked outside the cemetery, only to find Yanjiang holding a sword in her arms, quietly, like a shadow standing at the gate of the garden.His mental phantom technique is almost on par with Yuan Che.

He said: "When the eldest son was not by your side in the past, he would always order me to stay and take care of you. Now that the eldest son is gone, I think he wants me to stay by your side to protect you even more."

He walked up to Chang'an, put his saber between him and Chang'an, drew the sword out of its sheath, and saw that the sword was bright and bright, and the sword's heart curved red like a human eye. .

He stretched out a hand with the palm facing upwards, motioning for Chang Bi to put her hand up.

Chang Ji stretched out his hand, and the palms of the two faced each other. The blade of the sword lay across their palms. With a slight swipe, the palms of the two of them immediately bled, and the bright red blood merged into one along the blades on both sides, and slowly penetrated into the body of the sword. , was absorbed by that red arc.

After a while, the red arc suddenly glowed with blood-red light, and the bright sword body turned blood-red in an instant, and then the red light flashed, the red arc disappeared, and the blood-red sword body became bright again.

Yan Jiangdao: "This sword is called Zhongxing, drink the blood of two people together, you can use the sword spirit as a matchmaker, and offer loyalty with blood. The eldest son saved my life, and I wanted to dedicate it to the eldest son. But the eldest son said , loyalty lies in the heart, there is no need to be like this. I think so, just follow him at all times. But you and I are different from men and women. If you always follow you, it may be inconvenient. Going to Lidu is dangerous, and your cultivation base is extremely low , I have no spiritual power, and once something happens, it will be difficult for me to save me if I am far away. Today, I will use this sword to show my loyalty to Your Highness. As long as this sword stays with me, within a hundred feet, Your Highness calls me, and I will immediately You can come to His Majesty's side."

He put away his sword, stood upright in front of Chang'an, folded his fists and knelt down, solemnly said: "I am willing to follow Your Highness along the river."

Chang Ji helped him up with both hands, bowed his hands solemnly, and bowed deeply to him.

At this time, the news of Emperor Chu's death had already spread throughout the Eastern Continent. Before the body of Emperor Chu was sent back to Lidu, the fourth prince, Duan Zhi, was enthroned and proclaimed emperor with the support of the right minister, Cang Yubo, and the Empress of the Central Palace. The Empress Dowager of the Central Palace is the Empress Dowager, and the Grandmother Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager Tai, which is changed to Yuan Guangde.

This year was the first year of Guangde in Luoshui, and the era of Emperor Chu ended with his death.

After the death of the first emperor, according to the system of etiquette, the new emperor who succeeds should be in mourning for 27 days before ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor.However, the Cangyu family could not wait to support the new emperor, and the speed of the dynasty change was so fast that it did not even leave a little time for the second and third princes to plot evil.

The second prince, Yuhama, conferred the title of King Chuanping, and the third prince, Nanjing, conferred the title of King Chuan'an. The two brothers seemed to have just slept, and when they opened their eyes, the sky had changed. Their emperor's father died, and stepped on their heads. The one who went up was the sick young brother.They only got a county throne that was not important or important. After the funeral of Emperor Chu, they had to leave the imperial capital and go to the fiefdom, and they were not allowed to return without an edict.This made them so convinced that they all said they were sick at home and did not want to worship the new emperor.

Emperor Chu's body was sent back to the palace a few days ago, and Yubin and Nanjing only went to the palace to cry for a funeral, and did not enter the palace again.Let the palace handle the funeral ceremony of Emperor Chu.

Chang'an originally planned to ride Zijin back to Lidu, at least it would take ten days, but now she is escorted by the Jingsi technique along the river, and she arrived in Lidu in three or two days.They first went to Shen Shandu Mansion. Shen Shanxun was wearing filial piety clothes and was preparing to enter the palace to perform sacrifices. When he walked to the gate of the mansion and saw Chang Ji, he stared in shock.

After he reacted, he grabbed Chang'an and ordered him to close the door. While scolding Shen Shanze and Shen Shanzhi for being ignorant, he hurriedly pulled Chang'an to hide in a very secret room in the capital. Well, while he was busy asking people to see if anyone was following him, the old family members who were close to him were busy running around for a while.

Chang Ji said: "Uncle Xun, I came here quietly, with the protection along the river, ordinary people can't find me, you are so busy, it is even more eye-catching."

"Your Highness..." Shen Shanxun was about to stomp his feet, "How dare you come back like this? You are now a criminal, if you want people to know, you must be caught and punished for disobedience charges."

Chang Ji said: "If I don't come back, am I going to run away and hide for the rest of my life?"
