The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 248 Dongyi's Funeral
Dongyi, Princess Mansion.

The maids stood outside the main hall and whispered.

Mrs. Qin, the close friend of His Majesty Yaoxing, has not eaten, drank or slept for three consecutive days and nights.

She locked herself in the princess' room and wouldn't let anyone in.

Even His Majesty Ning Emperor Rong Guo could not knock on her door.

It is said that according to the will of Princess Yaoxing, Dongyi will no longer be a country, but like Nanliang, set up seventeen prefectures and counties on the original territory, and the head of Qi has also changed from the head of the state to the shepherd of Qizhou , and Du Jijiu of Yunxia Academy was transferred to Rongguo as an academician of Taiyuan Academy.Dongyi's army also began to reorganize in full swing, but all officials who did not want to work for the Rong country either resigned and returned to their hometowns, or handed over their military power to take up some civilian jobs. Of course, there were also a few troops who resisted stubbornly and were soon wiped out by His Majesty Ningdi. .

In any case, the name of Dongyi has become a history, only in the history books, it no longer exists in reality.

To say that the most pitiful one might not be His Majesty Yaoxing who had just succeeded to the throne, but the old Dongyi King.

The old Dongyi king who had lost his family members in succession also died on the third day after His Majesty Yaoxing passed away.

The two kings of Dongyi passed away one after another, so sad... Even the sky began to be gloomy and it began to rain continuously, which wet the entire city of Zou and the hearts of every Dongyi person.

Qin Wan walked out of Yaoxing's room early in the morning on the fourth day.

She looks all right.

His expression was cold, and he didn't speak too much.

Ning Yi knew that she had come out, so she immediately put down her official duties and hurried back to the Princess Mansion, only to find Qin Wan eating with great gulps, gobbling it up, as if she was going to finish the whole table full of food in one go.

Ning Yi picked up the teacup on the table and poured Qin Wan a glass of water: "If you're sad, it's okay to cry, I'll be here with you..."

Qin Wan swallowed the beef in her mouth, and said softly, "There's nothing to cry about... This is a gift from Yaoxing, I accepted it, and I'm very happy."

Ning Yi looked at Qin Wan with a frown, and raised his hand to touch her cheek: "King Dongyi's body has been buried, do you want to see her one last time?"

Qin Wan wanted to nod, but shook her head: "I want to always remember her life..."

"Okay, in the next few days, you should rest well and eat well, okay?" Ning Yi said.

"Well, I will be obedient." Qin Wan smiled slightly at Ning Yi.

Ning Yi thought that she would have an emotional breakdown, but she didn't expect that after she locked herself up for three days, she calmly accepted the fact that King Dongyi committed suicide.

"Ning Yi, what has been done, will be done again; what has been done, will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun. This sentence is what my teacher Si taught us when he told us about the history of the world. The first sentence I said." Qin Wan smiled, "With Dongyi as an example, I believe that those countries with lesser power will soon submit their letter of surrender to you, and you will be busy in the future."

"Wan'er, we'll go back to Cold City after I've dealt with Queen Dongyi's affairs," Ning Yi said.

Qi night nodded: "Well, Yaoxing's funeral, if you were there, the world would respect her more. Maybe there are still many Dongyi people who can't understand Yaoxing's decision, but future generations will comment on the merits and demerits of Qianqiu. It will be a long time before someone will give a fair and unbiased assessment of the matter."

Ning Yi slowly hugged Qin Wan: "Wanwan, I know King Dongyi is very important to you, you don't have to force yourself to be so strong."

"No, I just don't think that if I cry and be sad all the time, Yao Xing will definitely blame himself if he sees me like this. I don't want Yao Xing to see me depressed and decadent, so I should cheer up You still have to cheer up, you have to live on, don't you?" Qin Wan said.

Hearing what she said, Ning Yi felt distressed and helpless.

He would rather Qin Wan cry in his arms than see her suppressing her sadness and pretending to be like this.

"Ning Yi, let's hold a big wedding when we return to Cold City." Qin Wan said seriously.

Ning Yi was slightly surprised. He was surprised that Qin Wan would no longer think about their wedding after the death of King Dongyi.

Qin Wan looked at the astonishment in Ning Yi's eyes, frowned and said, "Don't you want to marry me?"

Ning Yi lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead: "Why, marrying you is what I wish for."

Qin Wan pressed herself against Ning Yi's chest, listening to his steady but slightly accelerated heartbeat, felt that there was no sound in the world more beautiful than this sound.

Qin Wan knows that mortals do not have eternal life, so many years later, she will have to face Ning Yi's death one day.

Rather than indulging in the pain of Yaoxing's death, it is better to sincerely wish her happiness in the next life.

I don't see her in this life, and when Yao Xing is reincarnated, maybe that day they will meet again.

It has been raining in Zoucheng for seven days. Qin Wan stood on the wall of the Dongyi Palace in plain clothes, sprinkled paper money to see Yaoxing off, and behind her were [-] luthiers, playing the song "Secluded" in the heavy rain. "Lan Cao", the grand piano ensemble spread to every corner of Zoucheng with the wind, the tune on the strings is high and pure, tactful, dignified, and melodious... Like the short life of this princess, life and death are glorious. The eyes are like stars, the songs are lamentable...

The funeral procession walked on the wet street, the pagoda trees on both sides fell with the wind and rain, and the ancient cypresses rustled. Gradually, ordinary people walked out of the house with umbrellas and saw them off silently.There were more and more people on both sides of the street, some even came out in white clothes, and some were shedding tears.

Dongyi people pay homage to their king, their country, and their history.

When one person sheds tears, it infects countless others. Gradually, some people weep, then some cry, and then some cry loudly...

As a result, Zoucheng, which originally only had the sound of wind and rain, gradually turned into a city of sorrow where thousands of people cried.

Ning Yi walked up to Qin Wan with an umbrella and held her shoulders.

Qin Wan pointed to the crying people of Zoucheng outside the palace wall, and asked Ning Yi, "Your Majesty Ning, those Dongyi people lost their king, and they must be afraid in their hearts."

Ning Yi: "I know."

Qin Wan said: "My concubine, please give them a smile again, and let them think about this matter after a hundred years or a thousand years. To the royal family of Dongyi and to Yaoxing's sacrifice can be gratitude instead of resentment."

Ning Yi said solemnly: "I promise you, you are not joking."

……

In Dongyi in summer, there was a lot of rain that made people distressed. Qin Wan didn't want to delay when he returned to the cold city, so the team set off in the heavy rain.

Fortunately, when passing by the foot of Taiyue, the rain finally stopped.

Qin Wan lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the road stele, and pointed to a familiar name "Haoli".

Qin Wan asked Ning Yi if they could take a short detour, she wanted to go to Haoli to have a look.

Ning also agreed, and drove Qin Wan and the two along the road signs to this mysterious land with wormwood overgrown and ancient cypress forests.

The two of them were about to go for a walk into the woods, but a forest guard came from nowhere, waved at them and said, "Don't go any further, this is where the worlds of yin and yang intersect." , if a mortal does not know the way and accidentally steps into the ghost world, he may not be able to return."
