Chapter 546 Lost Faith ([-])

Jiang is dead!

From then on, he no longer had to worry about her embarrassment, sadness and anger.

This is something that has long been expected.A month ago, Mrs. Feng mentioned Jiang's worsening illness in a letter, euphemistically implying that Jiang's life would not be long.He was already prepared.

This moment has really come.He couldn't calm down at all, and felt as uncomfortable as a needle prick in his heart.

There was a flash of water in Shen You's eyes.

Feng Shaojun sighed secretly, got up and lay down, and hugged him.

There are thousands of things about the Jiang family, but he is his own mother after all.The ties that come from blood will never cease to be parted.

Death is like a lamp going out, and all grievances and grievances go away like the wind.

Shen You remained silent, silently hugging his wife tightly in his arms.

After a long time, Feng Shaojun opened his mouth and said: "Have someone remove the red lanterns and red couplet window grilles inside and outside the yard, and replace them with white lanterns. We will change into plain clothes from today on."

When the mother dies, the son and daughter-in-law must obey the filial piety.

Shen You hummed.

Feng Shaojun's shoulders were wet.

That night, white lanterns were hung inside and outside Shen's house.The maids and guards all changed into plain clothes.

Shen Jia was next door, seeing that something was wrong, she came over immediately.

Shen You changed into a plain white suit, Jun's face remained expressionless.However, Shen Jia and his brothers have been with him for many years, so they know his temperament well.How can you not see that Shen You's mood is heavy and obscure at this moment?
But what words can comfort the pain of losing a mother?

Shen Jia let out a long sigh, walked to Shen You's side, and patted Shen You's shoulder: "Fourth brother, you feel uncomfortable, so just talk to me. Don't be bored with everything."

Shen You's eyes were red and he didn't open his mouth to speak.

Shen Jia didn't comfort her any more, and silently stayed by Shen You's side.

I don't know how long it took before Shen You said in a low voice: "Third brother, I feel a little uncomfortable. However, you don't have to worry too much, I can hold on."

"All her life, she has been greedy for glory, but she can't get it. Instead of living with resentment like this, it's better to let go. In the next life, I hope she will have a good pregnancy, marry a good husband, and be honored and rich for the rest of her life."

Shen Jia sighed: "Now that things have come to an end, I have to think about the best. When you encounter something like this, you can stay at home and observe your filial piety. After the holiday, I will go and ask General Meng for leave on your behalf."

But Shen You said: "There is no need to ask for leave. The military is busy with affairs, and there is a new barracks to be built. There are so many things going on, how can I stay at home. After the fifth day, I will go to the barracks."

……

On the first day of the new year, a palace banquet was held in the palace.

The prince Zhu Yun, who has been recuperating in the East Palace, finally showed his face today.

Of course, there were not many people at the palace banquet.Emperor Qing'an only had Empress Yuan as his wife, and the prince had only the concubine.The Crown Prince Liangdi in the East Palace has not come out of illness today, but Sister Rong was carried out by the nanny, and sat quietly beside Liang Geer, so obedient as to make people feel distressed.

Those who went to the palace for the banquet also included King Zhao and Princess Zhao.Prince Zhao's son was fined and grounded, and he was beaten up before, so he had to stay in Zhao Wang's mansion honestly.

Prince Fu and his son also entered the palace for a banquet today.Zhu Yang and Ding Lang were as sad as Zhao Wang Shizi, and they are still locked in the courtyard.

Compared with how lively people were in the past few years, the palace banquets in the palace now always seem a bit deserted.

Emperor Qing'an didn't like silk and bamboo singing and dancing, so the palace banquet lasted for an hour and soon broke up.

Zhu Yun took his wife and children back to the East Palace.Yuan Min immediately asked for a hot ginger soup, and personally served her husband to drink it.

Zhu Yun's face was turned pale by the cold wind, and it was not until the warm ginger soup entered that his face became a little more bloody.His hands and feet also gradually warmed up.

"How are you doing now?" Yuan Min asked softly.

Zhu Yun let out a low laugh, and held Yuan Min's hand nonchalantly: "This bowl of hot ginger soup warms my heart and lungs, and I'm very well now."

Yuan Min smiled and cast a glance at him: "You haven't recovered yet, don't be brave, go to the couch and rest."

Zhu Yun's body was damaged at the root of his vitality. After nearly half a year of care, he can walk without hindrance.However, it is not advisable to be tired.Like today, I stayed in Jiaofang Hall for more than half a day, and when I came back, I was sweating on my forehead.

Zhu Yun smiled self-deprecatingly: "I have become a delicate flower now, and I need someone to take care of me all the time."

Yuan Min helped him to the side of the bed, undressed him, and helped him onto the bed.Zhu Yun couldn't help laughing: "I'm weaker, but it's not that I have broken my limbs. I don't need you to wait on me like this."

Yuan Min was not happy to hear this, so he glanced over.Zhu Yun immediately became honest and let his wife take care of him.He lay down and closed his eyes. Yuan Min had no time to relax, so he went to see if his sons and daughters washed up and went to bed.

After Yuan Min left, Zhu Yun opened his eyes, silently thinking about something on his mind.

Jiang died of illness years ago, and the letter of mourning should have been sent to the border!

What would Shen You's reaction be when he saw Sangxin?
Was there any inspiration from Emperor Qing'an behind Jiang's "death of illness"?
Everyone kept the news of Jiang's death from Empress Yuan.I want Empress Yuan to spend the New Year happily.At that time, Empress Yuan will feel sad and sad.

The thoughts in Zhu Yun's mind were chaotic and obscure.It took a long time before he let out a long sigh.

……

There are several charcoal pots burning in the bedroom of Jiaofangdian, which is very warm.

Empress Yuan took off her make-up, and after taking a bath, she wore a soft coat and sat in front of the vanity mirror.Emperor Qing'an patiently wiped Empress Yuan's wet long hair with a soft cotton cloth.

In Guanghua's bronze mirror, a pair of loving couples are printed backwards.

Empress Yuan smiled and sighed: "It's another year, and I'm one year older."

Emperor Qing'an laughed softly: "You are not old at all. In the eyes of outsiders, you are still the same as before."

Who would have thought that the emperor, who was cold and majestic outside, would have such a tender side in private.Empress Yuan was coaxed so flattered that she relaxed her body and snuggled into Emperor Qing'an's arms.

Emperor Qing'an smiled silently.

After Jiang's death, the darkness that had been oppressing his heart for more than twenty years was gone.In the past few days, he felt happy in his heart.

Occasionally, I think of Shen You...well, since I have made a decision, I don't need to feel guilty anymore.Emperor Qing'an settled down and continued to wipe Empress Yuan's long hair.

Empress Yuan casually chatted with Emperor Qing'an, and for some reason mentioned Shen You who was far away in the border town: "Shen You has been in the frontier army for a few months now! Suddenly there is a familiar face missing by your side. Like something."

Emperor Qing'an's expression remained unchanged, and he seemed to say casually: "A good man, you should lead the army on horseback and make achievements. Staying in the palace all day is like putting a precious sword in its sheath and a pearl in a box."

Empress Yuan sighed softly: "He will not return to the capital for a few years after he leaves. Last month I sent Hongyu to Qiu's house to visit Sister Jiang, and Hongyu said that Sister Jiang's illness was getting worse every day. As soon as I let go, I couldn't see my son even once."

A cold look flashed in Emperor Qing'an's eyes, and he quickly changed the topic.
