The favorite wife of the black-bellied prime minister

Chapter 498 The Unbearable Years (5)
Li Shu clenched his teeth and let go of them suddenly, sighed silently, then stepped forward, generously embraced Situ He's shoulders, and proposed: "He, my lord is now a commoner, although General Meng He has been Take care, but I have never been hit by someone. But now I am down and out, and I don’t have any money to go to the Bibo Pavilion. This is my birthday, so I won’t be ostentatious. I just invite you to drink and chat, how about it? Will you join me?"

At this moment, if someone saw Li Shu in ordinary clothes and dared to put his arm on the shoulders of the great general of the Situ family, he would probably scold Li Shu for his ignorance and audacity—because the six princes from Empress Situ surfaced, and the Situ family fell into peace again. He has made great achievements in treason, and now he has become the most powerful person in Daxing, and no one has ever shaken the Situ family's position.

Li Shu, who was born in a humble Li family and has always been despised by others, why does he have no eyesight to see that he wants to make fun of himself and hook up with Situ He?
"Where do you go for a drink?"

However, Situ He didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and he didn't push Li Shu's arm away, he just asked a question.

Li Shu was more serious now, rubbed his nose and said, "That place... If I want to go in, I have to rely on you, General He, to guide me."

The suburban cemetery in February is more spring-like than in Shengjing city, with wild grasses and wild flowers everywhere, and even Jing Xiaobai's tomb is covered with layers of small yellow, purple and red flowers.

Li Shu was wearing a commoner garment, with bunt sleeves tightly fastened to his wrists and a rough hair tie. He looked like Situ He's groom or porter.

Li Shu held a Cuju in his arms and placed it in front of Jing Xiaobai's tomb, looking at the lines of words on the tall and wide tombstone, Li Shu refused to read anymore, but he still knew these words.

"Hey, Jing Xiaobai, why do you say you have so many titles in front of your name? Daxing Rongchangjing Princess... I almost can't recognize it." Li Shu knelt on one knee, still smiling like he didn't want to be beaten. If Jing Xiaobai was still alive, he would have glared at him, but if he looked closely, Li Shu's eyes clearly showed unconcealable pain.

He looked back at Situ He, and said: "Your Majesty, Jing Xiaobai's posthumous title is 'Jing'. This is something that no princess of Daxing Kingdom has ever had, right?"

Only the emperor died with a posthumous title to remember the merits and demerits during his lifetime, but the princess who died unexpectedly also has a posthumous title, which will indeed be recorded in the annals of history.

If Li Shu hadn't spoken to Situ He, Situ He might have been staring at the tombstone.

Seeing Li Shu's question at this moment, Situ He regained his senses, walked around the tombstone stiffly, and went to pull the weeds that sprouted from Jing Xiaobai's tomb.

After Jing Xiaobai's death, she did not enter Baili's imperial mausoleum. Emperor Jing Yuan built a large mausoleum specially for Princess Rongchang, and was buried with the sick son-in-law.

Situ He didn't believe that Jing Xiaobai was dead. Even though the imperial guards dug for half a month in the ruins of the Medicine Master's Tower, they dug up Mulian's body that had been pregnant for several months, and also dug up the piece he gave to Jing Xiaobai. Dragonfly eyes thunder stone, but Situ He still didn't believe it.

Situ He didn't believe that Jing Xiaobai was dead, so he could continue to look for it, and he could look for it for a lifetime.However, the people of Daxing need an explanation, and the deceased Princess Rongchang needs a cemetery.

The person is not dead yet, why should a tomb be erected for her?If she found out from other sources, how would she be heartbroken?

For the past three months, Situ He has always gone under the bodhi tree in Fahua Temple, always praying that if his silly girl is still alive, no matter whether she has someone to rely on or not, please let him find her.If she is injured or suffers, he is willing to spend the rest of his life and all the happiness in this life in exchange for her escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

But looking at the tomb in front of him, Situ He's despair spread layer by layer, and the coffin was concluded, which meant that his life was over.

Even if it was Jing Xiaobai's tomb, Situ Heduo hoped that it was Jing Xiaobai who was lying with him.It doesn't matter whether the bones are buried in a foreign land, or the merits of half a lifetime follow the dust, to be able to live and die with Jing Xiaobai is the greatest long-cherished wish in this life.

Emperor Jing Yuan gave Jing Xiaobai the posthumous title "Jing", which on the one hand was in response to Jing Xiaobai's name, and on the other hand had the meaning of pacifying the rebellion in the Beijun Prefecture.Jing Xiaobai disappeared due to the war, and how many people were the culprits Situ He refused to say!
Li Shu only knew one thing but not the other. He never doubted Jing Xiaobai's life experience, just like the whole world...

"Come on, have a drink Jing Xiaobai, I respect you, you are as heartless as He, and you never want to congratulate me on my birthday first, so don't force me when I'm pregnant."

Hearing Li Shu's voice, Situ He looked back and saw Li Shu held the wine jar he had brought and took a long gulp.

The cemetery in the outskirts occupies a large area, and there are countless funeral objects in Jing Xiaobai's tomb, and there are many officers and soldiers guarding it all the time, so it is impossible for Li Shu to enter if he wants to enter in his current status.

Situ He cleaned up the weeds beside the mausoleum, walked back to Li Shu's side, sat on the ground like Li Shu, took his jug and drank.

Li Shu squinted his eyes and smiled: "Have fun, General He, I never lose money drinking with you, because you are honest, hahaha!"

Situ He wiped the corner of his lower lip lightly, stared at the tombstone with his phoenix eyes, and forced a smile: "Look at Jing Xiaobai, she's only so quiet when she's asleep. One day when I wake up, it's going to give me a headache again."

Li Shu nodded: "Well, it's noisy, and Jing Xiaobai is the most noisy. When I was a child, I always wanted to keep her mouth shut, but I couldn't beat you. Now that she is tired from playing, let her rest for a while."

Situ Hexu was drunk, and seeing the tombstone suddenly turned into a figure of crabapple red, standing there gracefully, he smiled, his phoenix eyes were infinitely tender, he made a silent gesture to Li Shu, and said softly: "Shh, don't If you wake her up and lose your temper, I can't stop her from beating you."

Li Shu covered his mouth cooperatively, his small eyes were wide open, as if he was very frightened.

The companions who have played since childhood, only two of them can still drink and chat, but I don’t know how many times I can drink this wine——

Although the Situ family became the most powerful person in Daxing, there were countless casualties in the war. Situ He was carrying the heavy burden of the entire Situ family and Daxing, and the distance between him and the common people was like a cloud.This is a well-known fact.

Li Shu and Situ He were drinking quietly and talking quietly, when they suddenly heard a loud noise from behind, it was the sound of wheels rolling over the ground, and the cart that came must be heavy and huge, otherwise it would never have such force.

Situ He and Li Shu looked back, and saw a bright yellow carriage parked not far behind, whether it was the decoration of the carriage, the configuration of the horse, or the accompanying palace ladies and eunuchs, all of them showed the noble status of the visitor.

Li Shu and Situ He looked at each other, and the two tacitly guessed who was coming.

At this time, a young man in plain uniform got out of the car under the careful escort of the eunuch, and the eunuch nearby shouted at Situ Helishu: "Bold, His Royal Highness is still here!"

Li Shu grabbed Situ He, knelt down first, kowtowed and saluted: "Cao Min kowtows to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
