Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 956 Three Volumes 66 Death (2 More)
Xiumei knelt down on both knees in front of the box, and first placed a pair of white candles in front of Nianchun.

When Nianchun saw it, he smiled bluntly, but was speechless.

Xiumei lit the pair of white candles, took out two pieces of pastry warmed by her body temperature from her bosom, and stretched out her hand to feed them to Nianchun.

This pastry is eaten only for people to "see them off", because they are afraid that the journey to the underworld will be too long, so as not to get hungry halfway, and turn into a lonely ghost who starved to death on the way. There is no chance of reincarnation.

The pastry stuffed it into his mouth, and tears rolled down Nianchun's eyes.

Everyone said that they were not afraid of death, but when this moment really came, who would have no nostalgia for this matter?

Xiumei lowered her head all the way, her eyes only stared at the pair of faintly burning white candles, not at Nianchun.

"You have worked hard. If we meet in the underground, the master will definitely thank you well. With the master there first, I believe that the days after you go down will not be difficult."

"As for your family, you don't have to worry about it. At any rate, the master (Hui Xian's father Gao Bin) is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, the prince's Taibao, and also in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He will definitely take good care of your family."

Nianchun choked on the meat, couldn't say anything, could only nod wearily with tears in his eyes.

There was a strange calmness on the embroidered eyebrows: "I'm here to see you off today, so you don't have to blame me. After all, I won't ask you to go alone, and I will go with you."

"I have reached the age to leave the palace. I asked Concubine Yu's master to leave the palace a few years ago, and Concubine Yu's master has already agreed. The House of Internal Affairs has its own master to take care of it. I can leave the palace tomorrow."

"But you don't have to worry. I chose to leave the palace at this time, of course not to escape the responsibility I have taken on. I just can't die in the palace. Otherwise, if I die in the palace at this time, they will definitely think of you Therefore, I will go out of the palace first, and I will die outside the palace, so that the people in the palace will have no chance to know about the master's arrangement."

A pair of white candles in front of him flickered in the night.Nianchun felt that she was very tired, and even more tired, her vision couldn't help but blurred a little bit, and gradually she couldn't see clearly anymore.

In the night wind, only the voice of Xiumei getting farther and farther away: "...You can go at ease. You will be ordered by the emperor to go on the road tomorrow anyway. I will send you a ride in advance, which will make the emperor even more suspicious of the queen. If so, your death will be more meaningful."

"You go on the road ahead, don't worry, I will come to accompany you soon. When the time comes, master, you and I, we will no longer have to be manipulated or used by others."

Nianchun stared at the pair of white candles, and finally, she couldn't see them anymore...
.
Just after dawn, Li Yu's voice came from outside the window.

"Your Majesty, the Punishment Department has sent a message."

The emperor sat up straight away, and Wanxi woke up too.

Wanxi couldn't help but ask first: "Master Li, is there something wrong with Nianchun?"

Li Yu pondered for a moment.

The emperor also ordered: "Speak."

Only then did Li Yu report outside the window: "...the Punishment Department sent a letter saying that Miss Nianchun is dead."
.
Just a ray of sunlight appeared in the east, and Wanxi followed the emperor to the inner courtyard of the Punishment Division.

Nianchun was still in the posture of being tortured, and just leaned out of the box like that.

The emperor pulled Wanxi, hid behind him, raised his eyes and asked Hu Shijie, "What did you find out?"

Hu Shijie was young, but his face was expressionless, he just knelt down and said: "I found something like white wax in her mouth, and I feel that someone poisoned her."
