Chapter 233 Holding her coffin
In the main hall, there were bursts of crisp and harsh sounds, which were the sounds of nails being hammered into the coffin again and again.

The tinkling sound was endless, as if every sound hit Chu Yan's heart hard, making it impossible for him to muster the courage to walk into the main hall.

Ever since he saw her in the sea of ​​fire, he never had the courage to look directly at her body.

The charred body was beyond recognition and difficult to identify. In fact, there was really nothing left to see.

But every time she thought of that raging fire, she was trapped in the house alone, watching the flames gradually spread and engulfed herself and her children. She felt so helpless and scared, and was filled with endless fear and fear. despair.

At that time, had she ever thought about whether everything would be different if he could be around?

Chu Yan really didn't dare to continue thinking about it. He turned sideways and let Cui Xu see that the coffin was completely sealed.

Then, he slowly said: "Gu's wife will always be alone."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Xu saw Chu Yan walking towards the coffin.

He was wearing clothes as white as snow, and the sky was boundless and lonely. He was wearing plain clothes and was mourning for her.

Chu Yan walked quietly to the coffin, stretched out his hands and gently placed them on it. Lu Bo and others were stunned when they saw Chu Yan's actions.

"Your Highness?" Lu Bo called tentatively.

"I want to personally hold her coffin." Chu Yan's voice was low and firm, revealing an unspeakable sadness and determination.

"No! Your Highness, Miss Cui has not entered the royal decree, and she has never had any intention to become a concubine. This is unreasonable, Your Highness."

Lu Bo looked at his hand tightly clasped on the coffin and said something aloud, and then heard Chu Yan say: "She doesn't like going to Beijing, she doesn't like the palace, and she doesn't like being alone, but now I am Chu Yan , In my heart, she has been my wife for a long time, and I married her. "

Cui Ying has said countless times that she yearns for freedom and does not like the intrigues of the palace, just like the golden bird that was taken away by him in Guliang County.

Once the cage is opened, it flies away without hesitation, and so does she.

So he didn't dare to let go, let alone look into her eyes, because he was afraid that he couldn't give her what she wanted.

A precious freedom.

He used his own selfishness to force her to stay.

She doesn't even want to marry her, not because she doesn't like him, but because even if she does, she doesn't want to lose herself for him.

'Sincerity is valuable, but who can guarantee that this sincerity will last forever? What if His Highness doesn't like me one day and I grow old? '

Thinking of her words, Chu Yan lowered his eyes and whispered softly: "Now, you are free."

No matter where your soul is going, it has already taken me with it.

Cui Xu looked at him with the funeral procession, holding Cui Ying's memorial tablet in one hand. He felt complicated and didn't know what to say.

"Brother Xu!"

When he was stunned, he heard Shen Huajiao's voice. At first he thought it was an auditory hallucination, but then the woman reached out and held his wrist, and he turned his head and met her eyes.

"Jiaojiao?"

"I heard that something happened in Shangjing, so I came here in the past few days, but I didn't expect it."

Shen Huajiao looked at the traveling team with a bit of sadness in her eyes. She did not expect that Prince Liang's rebellion would be suppressed so easily, nor did she expect that Cui Ying would be the one who died.

"I just didn't expect something to happen to Yingying." Cui Xu said in a deep voice, and then his vision went dark and he fainted completely. Shen Huajiao hurriedly called for people and carried him to the Shen family's courtyard in Shangjing.

He had been lurking in Pang Jun's team for such a long time. He had to take great pains not only to prevent being discovered, but also to convey information to the outside world. As soon as he came out, he heard about Cui Ying. He was overjoyed and sad, and naturally it was difficult to accept it.

Shen Huajiao sighed, wiped the tears from her eyes, and led the others back to the yard.

The place Chu Yan chose for Cui Ying was in Xishan on the outskirts of Shangjing. There were many flower trees planted here, including pear trees and peach trees, which she must also like.

The people on both sides of the road watched His Royal Highness, whom they respected, being buried in the coffin. They were still discussing who was in the coffin. There was no news of His Majesty's funeral.

Then some sharp-eyed people saw the words on the tablet in Chu Yan's hand at a glance.

"My beloved wife Cui Ying."

"Isn't this the adopted daughter of the Cui family in Yunzhou? When did she marry His Highness?"

"Hush! If you dare to talk about royal affairs, will you die?"

Chu Yan could naturally hear the discussions of these people, but he no longer had the energy to care so much.

Ying Dong and Cheng Chong held many gold ingots tied with paper in their hands. Ying Dong sighed deeply and whispered: "I have never seen His Highness like this. After Miss Cui's death, His Highness will not be able to get out." ?”

"Ying Dong, you should be called the Crown Princess now."

Cheng Chong walked steadily and corrected Ying Dong in a low voice: "Of course His Highness can't come out. Your Majesty is the first person His Highness loves. Do you know why Your Highness personally holds the coffin?"

After listening to Cheng Chong's words, Ying Dong turned to look at him with confusion: "Why?"

"There is a folk saying that after a person dies, the soul will not be able to find a way to the next life, and will become a lonely ghost, unable to enter reincarnation. However, if there is guidance from close relatives, there will be ghosts to guide it. "

"For the dead souls who can enter reincarnation and go to the next life, the ghost will give them time to go home and see them. His Highness personally holds the coffin, just to tell the empress that if you can come back, don't forget to come to his dream and see him again. "

Cheng Chong's tone was somewhat low. He had been by Chu Yan's side these past few days. He knew what kind of life His Highness lived.

He would rather believe that she ran away than that she died, but in the end, he still had to accept this bloody ending. When a person dies, he must be buried in the grave.

The west mountain is not too high, and the distance is not too far. When they arrived, it was just dusk, and the sunset on the horizon was like red fire. Lu Bo called people to put the coffin into the deep pit dug in advance.

Chu Yan always stood on one side without saying a word.

He watched the soil burying the coffin bit by bit, and watched the deep pit in his sight gradually flatten. He blinked, and then he saw the pear blossoms on the pear trees suddenly falling down, like snow all over the sky.

Chu Yan stretched out his hand, and a piece of pear blossom fluttered into his palm. He raised his head slightly to look.

Two people miss each other and are showered with snow at the same time. This life can be regarded as the same.

Cui Ying, are you here to see me?

"Your Highness?"

"I don't believe it. She is really gone."

The moment he looked back, he staggered over and Cheng Chong and others watched him fall to the ground. His clean clothes were stained with mud, and his fingers were embedded in the mud, mixed with the pear petals.

"Cui Ying, do you really don't want me anymore?"
