Daughter of Hou's Mansion

It's past Maoshi, the sky is still not bright, and there is a thin drizzle in the sky, which casts a layer of mourning on Shangjing.

Prince Qin's eyes were all white, the main entrance was wide open, and two large lanterns with inscriptions on the eaves of the main entrance were hung, fluttering, and two rows of young servants in white linen clothes were placed on both sides of the main entrance from the mourning hall. Since then, people have come to pay respects one after another.

Although news of the relapse of Prince Qin's old illness has been spreading during these days, no one expected that this god-like existence would actually pass away on such a night. I came to pay homage in person, and those who were not qualified to enter were given accompanying gifts, and many people in Shangjing knelt and cried by the side of the road in white linen clothes. It seems that previous emperors did not have this honor.

The emperor arrived with Jiang Aoran. When he was standing at the gate, he paused when he saw the large characters of Prince Qin's Mansion made by imperial edict. Stand aside respectfully.

Although he had long expected the prestige of Prince Qin in the court and among the people of Great Xia, Jiang Aoran felt that he still underestimated Prince Qin's prestige during this journey. It seemed that the entire imperial city was infected by Prince Qin's death. Layers of sorrow, those people kneeling on the roadside crying, they really feel sorrow from the bottom of their hearts.

There are also the students at the gate of the palace, even though they are all powerless scholars, they can't stop them from admiring the Prince of Qin.

Jiang Aoran didn't know what the emperor thought when he saw this scene, but I'm afraid that no emperor would like to see a courtier with such prestige, but fortunately, Prince Qin passed away, otherwise the emperor might not be able to tolerate him.

Of course, what Jiang Aoran didn't know was that the emperor had already made a move secretly. If he had known earlier, maybe the Jiang family would not have fallen into such a situation.

Standing at the door were Shangguan Jue and Shangguan Yu, the emperor's eyes passed over them, and then fell on Shangguan Jue and said: "Go in, I will give the emperor a piece of incense."

Shangguanjue was expressionless, only he knew that his mouth had a faint smell of blood, he almost exhausted all his willpower to not go up and question him, what did his grandfather do to him, let him go down here Ruthless.

Shangguan never spoke, but Shangguan Yu stepped forward with a sad face and said, "Please come in, Your Majesty."

The emperor's gaze paused on Shangguan Yu's face again, and then he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sorrow and sorrow."

The drizzle became more and more dense, Wang Youde held an umbrella for the emperor, but his whole body was exposed outside.

The huge mourning hall was filled with crying, the emperor stepped into the hall, and Concubine Xiao, Chen Shi and others were kneeling according to their identities, and everyone was crying very sadly.

Manager Bai lit the incense and handed it to the emperor, and the emperor put incense on the old prince with red eyes.

"I want to take another look at the emperor's uncle." After the incense was burnt, the emperor made another request.

Shangguan Jue's nails almost dug into the palm of his hand, "The emperor has a heart." His voice was very hoarse, and the emperor couldn't help but glance at him, but saw a faint blue shadow appearing in his eyes, he was still the same as when he was a child The same, in the end I was still greedy for this blood relationship.

The emperor sighed, and went to the back hall. Shangguan Jue looked at his empty clothes hanging like a back on dry bones, lowered his eyelids slightly, and quickly suppressed the sarcasm in his eyes.

In the fine golden nanmu coffin, the old prince was lying quietly. He was not wearing the crown clothes of King Qin, but the armor that had followed him for many years. The armor was stained with the blood of countless people. , looking carefully, there are quite a few gaps, which were left by the old prince on the battlefield.

The emperor stared at the person who seemed to be asleep in the coffin, and finally shed tears. In the emperor's house, every step was very tiring. Looking back, he saw that there were already piles of bones piled up behind him. How many of them are related to him by blood.

Seeing this, Shangguan Yu said: "The emperor's condolences, my father still waited until Jueer before leaving, and he left with a smile in the end."

The emperor nodded and said: "The people of Daxia will remember everything the emperor uncle has done for the Daxia Dynasty. The affairs behind this must be handled properly. Wang Youde, let the officials of the Ministry of Rites come in to see me."

At this time, almost all the people in the Great Xia Dynasty were in the palace, and the emperor ordered the Ministry of Rites to handle the funeral of the old prince, and bestowed him with a posthumous title, which can be said to be infinite honor and favor.

Shangguan looked at his behavior coldly. When the emperor finally planned to attack the old prince, he had no intention of letting go of Prince Qin's mansion, but he was not an old man. After dedicating his whole life to the Great Xia Dynasty, He still wanted to kill him, just because of the emperor's inexplicable suspicion.

The emperor stayed in Prince Qin's mansion for two hours before returning to the palace. At the same time, he stayed for three days for Prince Qin. The people in Beijing were not allowed to have any happy events for three months, while the officials of Daxia were allowed six months. , this Prince Qin's Mansion is even more crowded, and there is an endless stream of people coming to pay homage.

At night, the palace slowly fell into silence.

Shangguanjue glanced at Concubine Xiao and the others who were almost crying to death, and ordered to Manager Bai: "Take them all down."

Director Bai nodded, and Mrs. Chen helped Concubine Xiao to go forward. Both of them were pale and pale, and their eyes were swollen like walnuts. Concubine Xiao glanced at "Shangguan Yu" behind Shangguan Jue. ", a cold war broke out.

Naturally, this Shangguan Yu couldn't be her son, but that face, that figure, and those subtle movements were so accurate that even her own mother couldn't tell them apart.

Concubine Xiao thought of the endless crowds in the daytime, and only then did she understand what Shangguan Jue meant by asking for a dead end. Shangguan Yu really did the stupidest thing in the world. He thought he only had to post The emperor became, but he didn't know that the emperor couldn't do it himself.

The emperor wished to kill the old prince, but after the death of the old prince, he still had to pay homage to the old prince in person, and even gave the old prince endless honor and favor. Of course, all of this was for the eyes of the world.

This behavior of the emperor also showed that he didn't have the old prince who had the guts to blatantly kill him. That's why he came to Shangguan Yu, not because he trusted him, but because he wanted Shangguan Yu to be the scapegoat. The one who kills his father is the beast that everyone despises in the whole Great Xia.

Concubine Xiao even understood that if the incident really happened, the emperor would definitely leave her completely behind, but Shangguan Yu really believed the emperor's rhetoric.

She had been planning her whole life, only now did she realize that the son she was so proud of was just a fool, he was not even a ten-thousandth of Shangguan Jue, and now he was even a useless person. How did I get here one day and one night, and I don't know how to deal with myself in the future.

Chen's voice was already hoarse: "Shangguan Jue, we will follow what you said, just let the master go."

Shangguan Jue looked at Chen Shi coldly: "You don't have to come to the mourning hall."

His voice was cold like the voice of hell, Chen's complexion froze, and her heart trembled even more. Yes, she would cooperate with Shangguan Jue, and she only hoped that Shangguan Yu's murder of his father would not be exposed. She still had With so many children to take care of, Shangguan Yu's foolishness ruined not only herself, but also the future of the second wife. She is not qualified to negotiate terms with Shangguan at all.

In the end, there was no need for Mr. Bai to say anything, Mrs. Chen, Concubine Xiao and others went down together.

The lively mourning hall suddenly became cold.

Shangguanjue knelt in front of the coffin all night alone, the rain outside kept pattering, and Shangguanjue's mind was also dark.

************************************************** ********************

When the news of the old prince reached the northwest, the northwest was caught in a storm of mourning for Marshal God of War.

Qingluan accidentally dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground. Although he was mentally prepared, when the news actually came, Qingluan's heart was still tensed.The time she spent with the old prince was short. Although the old prince was not on her side at that time, she never blamed him.

Because she understands that the old prince is thinking about Shangguanjue wholeheartedly, that stubborn old man always blows his beard and stares at Shangguanjue as if he has flaws all over his body, but when Shangguan doesn't pay attention, his His eyes are always passing by him from time to time.

And how sad Shangguan Jue should be at this moment, but she couldn't be by his side.

The old lady and the others were originally talking with Qingluan, but they fell silent when they heard the news. When Wei Che sent them away, it was because of the relapse of the old prince's old illness. Wei Che felt that the water in Shangjing was mixed. Therefore, they couldn't wait to send them to the northwest, but now that the old prince has passed away, what about Shangjing?

After a while, the old lady finally said: "Luan'er, this is the Marshal's Mansion after all. Even if the old prince is far away in the capital, everything here must be arranged."

Qingluan was slightly shocked, and nodded before giving orders. All the red in the mansion will be changed, and everything should be plain and clean. Although Qingluan is not in Shangjing, she has also changed into plain clothes. Up your own belly, baby, your great-grandfather was a hero, it's a pity you can't see him anymore.

ps: Xiaoyu's cold is still not good, and the cough is very serious, so I can only update so much during this period of time, try to keep updating, everyone forgive me.
