into the bosom

Chapter 351 I'm Sorry, Wait For Me
The figure didn't seem to hear it, it didn't stop walking, it didn't look back, and it disappeared into the black mist in the blink of an eye.

The black mist gathered from all directions and engulfed Xu Jiao in the blink of an eye. In a trance, Xu Jiao heard Helian Shu's cold voice coming from the mist, full of helplessness, "Ah Jiao, you forgot Is it? I tell you, I have a life and death calamity. But after that calamity, I won’t see you!"

That voice, as if separated by a thick fog, gradually became hazy.

Xu Jiao was so flustered that she wanted to talk nonsense, but you clearly just said that after the so-called life and death catastrophe, we will be a real husband and wife, why don't you see me after the catastrophe?nonsense!nonsense!
But her throat seemed to be locked, the more anxious she became, the more she couldn't make a sound.

At that moment, a glaring light from the sky broke through the thick black mist and shot towards her eyes, she had to close her eyes...——

When I struggled to wake up again, I saw the familiar begonia-colored gauze embroidered with grass and insects on the roof...

Xu Jiao stared blankly, her mind seemed to be still surrounded by heavy black mist and was completely empty.

"Princess..." A cautious call came from beside her. It was Lingxue who had been guarding Xu Jiao without daring to close her eyes. Even since He Lianshu disappeared, she didn't even call for his wife, just called She is the princess, be careful not to stimulate her at all.

But... how can she avoid it if she wants to?

Xu Jiao jumped up from the pillow suddenly, and asked in a flat tone, "Where is it?"

Negative Xue didn't say a word, she had also lost weight these days, and her eyes seemed to be much bigger, staring at Xu Jiao slightly rounded, seemingly puzzled.

Xu Jiao didn't say much, but turned to look at her with dim eyes.

Negative Xue couldn't hold back any longer, her eyes were slightly red and said, "Your Majesty gave the coffin just now, and now the main hall has been tidied up and buried in it for the time being, but... a lot of things have to wait for the princess to decide ..."

When Negative Snow was talking, Xu Jiao had already started to get up and put on her clothes and shoes, and when she was dressed properly, she walked towards the outside of the house.

"Princess..." Negative Snow shouted, and hurriedly followed.

The courtyard was quiet, and under the arrangement of the stewards, the people coming and going were all wearing white clothes, some were hanging white silk, some were hanging white lanterns, and when they saw Xu Jiao, they saluted one after another.

But she acted as if she had never seen her, and walked through the courtyard like a wandering spirit, and went directly to the main courtyard.

Looking up and seeing the black-painted coffin in the center of the main hall, he stepped over the threshold, turned around and said "No one in" to the snow who had been following behind him, and closed the door directly.

"Princess!" Xue Xue yelled outside the door, but she didn't dare to go in. There was a faint cry in that shout.

Xu Jiao couldn't take care of it at this moment, she fastened the door and closed the door, the light in the main hall dimmed immediately.The white candles were dimly lit, against the dark coffin in front of them, it was very eerie.

Xu Jiao went straight to the front of the coffin, and didn't look at the half of it, although it was distorted and deformed, anyone with a discerning eye could recognize that it was indeed He Lianshu's face. She didn't hesitate at all, and suddenly pulled open the skirt of the corpse.

When the fingertips landed on the corpse, although it was already black and swollen, except for the hole in the chest, it was clearly smooth, without the chest with the wolf head tattoo... Her eyes, which had been dry for a long time, suddenly became moist again, with tears Ruzhu, jumping straight down...

"Helian Shu, you bastard!" The voice seemed to be whispering to himself.

"He Lianshu, you bastard!" The second voice was raised in volume, as if scolding angrily.

The people outside the door were all stunned for a moment, but the next moment, they heard earth-shattering cries erupting from inside the door.

"Erlang-jun?" Negative Xue's eyes had already turned red, and she hurriedly raised her head to look at the people around her.

Jing Qin's eyes were dark, and he was raising his hand that was about to break in and slowly retracted. He didn't speak, but his expression relaxed. It's better to cry, it's better than anything else.

Everyone thought Xu Jiao was in extreme grief, so they locked themselves in the mourning hall alone and cried for almost half an hour.

When she finished crying and came out of the mourning hall, she fell directly to the ground again.

Afterwards, she fell ill and couldn't afford to get out of bed immediately. She didn't ask any questions about Helian Shu's funeral, and she couldn't even go to the mourning hall to pay respects to those who came to express their condolences.

Jingqin and Jingduo took care of all the things outside, and Qinniang and Lingxue took care of them inside, but she didn't care about it at all, and she didn't even see guests.

Even if Cui Wenyin, Li Xie, Wang Wan, or the Eldest Princess came, she would all be rejected without exception.

Because He Lianshu's death was violent, and when he was found, the body was already in disrepair, and Xu Jiao didn't care about anything, in the end it was Emperor Xian's decision to bury him as soon as possible.

Therefore, the burial will take place after seven days of being dead, and on that day, Xu Jiao finally came to the funeral in filial piety.

Paper money is flying all over the sky, and white flags are flying.Xu Jiao's newly made filial piety clothes were still empty, making her look thinner, pale and weak.

Although he didn't cry, but that empty and pale appearance, in people's eyes, it was more like an appearance of nothing more than death.

Wang Wan and Cui Wenyin supported her from left to right, seeing her like this, their noses were sore, and they began to sob, as if they were crying for her.

Those insiders watched and couldn't help sighing.

In the past, she was only envious of mandarin ducks and not immortals, but now she is so affectionate that she is too jealous!
He Lianshu had no foundation in removing Wenlou in Feng'an City, because he died to save his family, Emperor Xian was very grateful for his loyalty, so this cemetery was bestowed by Emperor Xian, and the burial specifications were directly handled in accordance with those of princes.

At the time of the burial, Gan's servant came in person, and at the same time brought a scroll of bright yellow imperial decree, which said a lot of praise, and also expressed Emperor Xian's mourning for the loss of the humerus. Finally, He Lianshu was canonized A title of loyalty and bravery.

Xu Jiao received the imperial decree on his knees, bowed down to thank him, with a calm to numb look from the beginning to the end.

Seeing this, Gan Nei waited and sighed, "The princess still has to mourn, take care of yourself! Your majesty is very concerned about the princess, as well as the empress dowager and the eldest princess... After a while, the princess calmed down. I still need to walk around the palace more..."

"Thank you, Neiguan Gan!" Xu Jiao still looked neither happy nor sad.

After the funeral, the guests left one after another, Wang Wan talked with her for a while, but she drove her back to the palace.

No matter how favored Wang Wan was, she was a concubine after all, and she would go out of the palace one after another for her, even if Emperor Xian was supporting her, there was no guarantee that it would not cause any trouble.

Xu Jiao knew that Wang Wan was worried about her, but she was also afraid that Wang Wan would cause any trouble because of herself, so she repeatedly assured that she was fine, and then persuaded Wang Wan to leave.

Turning around, she saw that the servants were being directed by Qin Niang to take down the white silk and white lanterns. There were still quite a few people, but in Xu Jiao's eyes, only silence remained.

She used to think that this would be their home, but now that he was gone, it was nothing.Even if tomorrow, the plaque of the Zhongyonghou Mansion bestowed by the emperor will be hung on the lintel, so what?

Xu Jiao looked around, as if she was just an outsider.

She took a step and went back to Mingyue Residence, saying that she was a little tired and wanted to sleep for a while.

Negative snow looked at her, hesitant to speak.

Xu Jiao looked up and saw her eyes full of worry, her face was much thinner and paler than before, and the thick shadows under her eyes.

Xu Jiao sighed, "Don't worry! I won't seek death! I told He Lianshu before that if he dies, don't think that I will die for him. I will live well, let alone..." What's more, she didn't say anything, but the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, and the eyes looking at Lingxue were less hollow than before, and there was a little spirit again.

Negative Xue was slightly taken aback, but she had already said softly, "Don't worry, don't worry, what I said, when will it not count? Look at you, how have you ever slept soundly these days? If you are sick If I fall down, who will come to take care of me? Go, you also go to sleep, wake up, everything will be fine."

Hearing these words, and looking at her, Negative Xue's eyes turned red, but the corners of her mouth curled up, she answered "yes" with a sense of relief, and then she bowed her knees and backed away.

The princess didn't know that she was actually terrified these days, and at this moment, her anxiety was finally settled.

Xu Jiao looked at her back, and twitched the corners of her mouth. After a while, she stopped smiling, turned and walked into the room.

He raised his eyes, glanced inadvertently, and landed on the table, but stopped - there was an oiled paper bag on the table of the Eight Immortals table.

Xu Jiao walked over quickly, and saw that in the oil paper bag was a bag of fried chestnuts with residual heat, but the chestnuts were all peeled, and each one was yellow-orange-orange chestnut flesh. His eyes suddenly turned red.

Picking up the oil-paper bag, his eyes were eager, wandering around, in and out of the room...

However, the light in her eyes was quickly extinguished, no one, he could come this time, put this thing down, it was a huge risk, so why would he stay again?What if you are entangled by her and can't get out?In his heart, she was just a little girl who could only be coquettish and foolish, and had no regard for the overall situation!
Lowering her eyes, she paused again, blinked her eyes reddened by tears, and picked up the unseen note that had just been pressed under the oiled paper with trembling fingers.There is no title or signature on the note, only a short line and two sentences——Sorry!wait for me!
Xu Jiao looked at the two sentences and five characters for a long time, but suddenly crumpled the note into a ball, biting his teeth fiercely, and squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "Bastard!" !"

He threw the crumpled note on the table, picked up a piece of chestnut meat and fed it into his mouth, chewed it hard, and threw another one... It seemed that he wanted to chew someone's flesh.

The chestnut meat is sweet and soft, still the taste in memory, but it seems to be slightly different.

Xu Jiao stopped chewing for a moment, and in the next moment, her eyes fell on the paper ball that she had crumpled up and discarded aside. After a while, she took the paper ball over again with some hesitation. After a while, he unfolded the note little by little, spread it out in front of him, and smoothed it again and again.On the crumpled paper were her familiar handwriting, Xu Jiao stared at those words.

He hummed in his mouth, "I'm sorry? I'm sorry? Let me tell you, this time it's a serious matter, I'm really angry, the kind you can't coax well. What else... wait for you ? You just wait? Bastard, I won’t wait for you! Absolutely not!”

As she said that, the mist of tears in her eyes finally formed, and they slid from the corners of her eyes as if overwhelmed, and landed on the note with a thud, spreading the ink away...

In a narrow and inaccessible alley outside the Helian Mansion, a figure jumped down from the high wall with some hesitation, but his figure froze for a moment, and he maintained that posture for a long while. Then he slowly supported the wall and stood up a little bit.

Just when he stood up straight, he moved his ears, heard a small sound, and the sharp knife flashed, and the short knife in his hand stabbed behind him.

"It's me!" The person behind was startled, hurriedly shrank back, and shouted in shock.

The saber narrowly stopped, and stopped within an inch of the person's throat... Then it was withdrawn suddenly, and the person who was standing upright staggered, clutching his chest, and almost fell to the ground.

The face of the later man changed drastically, he stretched out his hand to support him, and opened his mouth to reprimand, "Aren't you going to kill yourself? Those two arrows are firmly tied. You are strategizing and planning everything. Poor, but if the arrow is half an inch longer, you won't be able to live. You sneaked here just after waking up, and you really don't want to live...I told you what you have to say, just let me bring it, you have to be disobedient , come here in person.”

Sui Sui Nian, Sui Sui Nian, chattering, the man's eyes under the hat were as cold as frost, and he glanced at him coldly, like a knife, "There are some things that you can't replace. If you are not good at things, why should I do this?"

The man spoke late, raised his hand and pressed down the firmly stuck beard on his chin, coughed twice and said, "Didn't you say it? Be cruel when you should be cruel. How many people are watching, madam Wouldn’t it be bad if the slightest clue came out and fell into the eyes of someone with a heart? It’s more realistic to react like that, and it’s easier to deceive everyone’s eyes without leaving any future troubles. Besides, at that time, your life and death were hanging by a thread , how can I care about anything else?"

The following words gradually weakened in a sharp glance.

"You only have one mouth left." A cold snort came from under the bamboo hat.

"What do you mean?" The bearded man frowned, as if he heard the insult from this sentence.

"I mean, you only have your mouth to speak, but you have lost your brain." The sneering words from under the bamboo hat told him—what you understood was indeed an insult, that's right! "Ajiao is not like you. Even if you don't tell her, she will find out that the person is not me! You have underestimated her. Even if she knows that the person who died is not me, she still knows how to deceive everyone's eyes. The most important point is that I do so much, not because I don’t want to live, but because I want to live too much! I have never been like this before, and I want to live well forever.”

The last sentence seemed to be talking to himself, making the bearded man think it was his own illusion, so he couldn't help but stop.

The cold eyes behind the bamboo hat cast a cold glance at him, "Why don't you go and stay here? It's a lie to say that you are here to spread the word for me. It's clear that you want to sneak a look at Nexus, right?"

"Ashu...you've learned badly, how can you sprinkle salt on people's wounds, isn't it too damaging?"

"Each and each other, you are not much better."

"When are we leaving?"

"ASAP."

"Sigh... this time we are afraid that we will offend Madam and Xuexue badly, and we will become brothers and sisters."

"I'm not like you."

"How is it different?"

"I'm married. In your lifetime, I wonder if you can wait until the day you get married."
