farmer's husband

Chapter 677

She quickly hugged Yuzhang and cried loudly.

Yuzhang also leaned against her arms, and continued to sob in an extremely miserable voice.

When the people around heard it, they couldn't help but shed tears too.

At this time, I saw a little eunuch running over in a hurry.

"Oh, Yuzhang, why did you come here?" He whispered.

Haruka looked back at him. "Yuzhang is the Empress Dowager's dog. Isn't it right for him to come to die for the Empress Dowager?"

"Princess, please calm down, princess, please calm down." The eunuch quickly pleaded guilty, "It's not that we don't want him to die for the queen mother, but... this dog has been jumping and barking like crazy since the queen mother passed away. It will arrest people if it gets close to it. We have no choice but to lock it up. But we didn’t expect that it has been lying in the cage and whimpering these days without eating or drinking. We really abused it!”

"I know." Chun Zhi nodded, she lowered her head and gently rubbed the top of Yuzhang's head, "It just refuses to accept the fact that the queen mother is dead, let alone you put her body in this cramped place. It was lying there, that's why it protested. It didn't mean to hurt you. Now, let me watch it, and I promise it won't go out and hurt people again."

"That would be the best!" The eunuch nodded quickly and retreated.

When Yuzhang got to Chunzhi's side, it really wasn't as crazy as before.However, when it saw the coffin in front of which had already been soaked in the smell of the queen mother, it still couldn't help whimpering, with a pair of claws wanting to rush over to dig out the queen mother from time to time.

Chun Zhi hurriedly hugged it tightly, not allowing it to move around.

In a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year.

Although it is Chinese New Year, because of the death of the Empress Dowager, the palace will definitely not be able to make a big fuss this year.The emperor also asked someone to prepare a table of white banquets, and everyone sat together and ate a few mouthfuls, which was regarded as a reunion dinner.

Chun Zhi came back in a hurry this time, she didn't bring any children with her, and now she was sitting with Princess Liang.On top of them, the Crown Princess and Princess Qin have already fought each other countless times.On the way, they also tried to pull Chun Zhi and Princess Liang into the battle, but both Chun Zhi and Princess Liang refused.

Concubine Liang's gaze was always on King Liang and the prince over there.

Ever since they came back from Liangzhou, the crown prince's gaze has often fallen on King Liang, and he couldn't look away for a long time.Those eyes were so hot that even Chun Zhi was terrified when he saw them, let alone Princess Liang?

It's just that before everyone had to observe filial piety in front of the queen mother, the prince saw it and watched it, and the king of Liang just pretended not to notice it.But now, now that everyone is gathering together for dinner, this has created a huge space for the prince to play.

The scene of him attacking King Liang last time is still vivid in his memory, who knows what this lunatic will do now?

Therefore, from the beginning to the present, Princess Liang hardly ate a single bite of her safe meal.

When the meal was halfway through, a young eunuch suddenly whispered something in King Liang's ear, and King Liang got up and went out.

Seeing this, Princess Liang tightened her hand holding the chopsticks, almost breaking the fine ivory chopsticks in her hand.

Fortunately, right away, another court lady quietly came over, and she whispered to Princess Liang: "Princess, please don't worry, it's Concubine Shu who is asking His Royal Highness Prince Liang to come over and talk, and His Royal Highness Liang Wang will be back soon."

Concubine Liang looked over there, and found that the prince was still sitting where she was, but Concubine Shu, who was by the emperor's side, had disappeared at some point.The Prince was disappointed when King Liang disappeared, but he had no intention of leaving.

Princess Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

Just immediately, she frowned slightly again.

"Actually, going to see the concubine mother is not necessarily a good thing." She whispered to herself.

When Chun Zhi heard this, she could only give her a low sigh in return.

Not long after King Liang left, Concubine Shu came back.Although her complexion was as usual, with a soft smile on her lips, but if you look closely, you will find a look of displeasure in her eyes.When she found that Chun Zhi was looking at her, she immediately turned her head and smiled at Chun Zhi, but the coldness in her eyes made Chun Zhi shiver inexplicably.

Chun Zhi couldn't help rubbing her arms with both hands.

"It's so cold!" she said to herself.

"Yes, it's really cold." Princess Liang also responded softly.

Chun Zhi came back to her senses, she followed Princess Liang's gaze and found that King Liang had also returned.King Liang did not have the freedom to put his expression back and forth like Concubine Shu, so now his brows are slightly frowned, and his complexion is also tense, looking very unhappy.

It seems that the mother and son had a quarrel?
Chun Zhi pursed her lips, she quickly lowered her head.

The next half of the banquet was tasteless.After everyone finished eating, Chun Zhi went back to the Empress Dowager.

These days, Yuzhang still refuses to eat anything, and at most drinks a few sips of water.Now going to have a reunion dinner, Chun Zhi originally planned to take it there, but Yu Zhang refused to go, whimpering and hugging the queen mother's coffin and refused to leave, so Chun Zhi let it go.

However, as soon as she entered the mourning hall, she saw the eunuch who was looking at Yuzhang walking out in panic.

Seeing Chun Zhi, his face immediately collapsed: "Princess, are you back? This servant is planning to find you!"

"What do you want from me?" Chun Zhi asked quietly.

"That's right, Yuzhang it..."

Chun Zhi's heart sank again.

She looked over in a blink of an eye, and saw Yuzhang lying on the side of the empress dowager's coffin, with his eyes closed and his body motionless.There was no sound from the whimpering mouth.

Chun Zhi hurried over, she called softly: "Yuzhang?"

No answer.

Chun Zhi stretched out her hand and wiped the dog's ears, she immediately stiffened, but a slight smile appeared on her face.

"Today is New Year's Eve! Yuzhang was reluctant to part with the Queen Mother, so he specially went to the Underworld to accompany her to celebrate the New Year. He is really a good dog."

The eunuch suddenly burst into tears.

The news quickly reached the emperor's ears.The emperor rushed over after hearing the news, and when he saw Yuzhang lying peacefully next to the queen mother's coffin, a trace of emotion appeared on his face.

"It turns out that animals can have such deep affection. I have seen it with my own eyes today! Since it has such deep affection for the Queen Mother, I will now make it a Dog Marquis and allow it to be buried with the Queen Mother!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chun Zhi hurriedly bowed to the emperor.

Yuzhang is no longer around, and now she is the only one who can speak on its behalf.

When the emperor heard the words, he looked down at Chun Zhi again before he let out a sigh. "Actually, if the queen mother can have a dog to accompany her, at least she will not be alone in the underworld. I can rest assured."

Haruhi nodded with a smile. "I think so too."

At least, since Yuzhang was added as a funeral, the craftsmen naturally had to work overtime to make a coffin for it.The coffin had to conform to his status as a first-class marquis, which caused the craftsmen a headache for a long time.

And on the third day after Yuzhang died, his cat son also died beside him.

The emperor praised the cat again and buried it with Yuzhang.

When it comes to the New Year, there will be no Lantern Festival in the capital on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

But on the auspicious day of Shangyuan Festival, it is inevitable for everyone to get together to look at the moon.

Chunzhi didn't want to go out, but Princess Liang dragged her out desperately.

"Auntie, just think of it as accompanying me!" She looked at Chun Zhi pitifully.

Harue was puzzled. "What the hell happened?"

"I don't know." Princess Liang shook her head, "But it's because I don't know that I'm even more anxious!"

"Wait, what's going on here?" Chun Zhi was confused by her words.

Princess Liang smiled wryly. "Isn't it the time on New Year's Eve? I don't know what the concubine called the prince over to say. After the prince came back, his face was very ugly. It has been half a month, and his mood has not improved. I I asked him what his mother and concubine had said to him, but he didn't tell me. He just said that it had nothing to do with me and he could solve it by himself. However, seeing him getting more and more gloomy every day, I was so anxious! I always felt that, Something is bound to happen tonight, and I'm afraid!"

While talking, she held Chun Zhi's hand tightly. "So Auntie, can you stay with me? With you by my side, I can feel more at ease."

Seeing her so delicate and pitiful appearance, Chun Zhi really couldn't bear to reject her.

Helpless, she could only nod. "Okay, I can accompany you. However, I still have to go burn a stick of incense to my mother first."

Princess Liang nodded repeatedly.

Chun Zhi went to burn incense in front of the queen mother's spirit again, and she made a wish to the queen mother in a low voice: "Mother, if you have a spirit in heaven, please protect me and King Liang, and hope that he will never die again." Nothing happened. Now we just hope that we can return to Liangzhou safely and continue to complete our blueprint. You must bless us!"

Inserting the incense into the censer, Chunzhi bowed to the Queen Mother again, and she turned around and went out.

But when she went out, Princess Liang's expression had changed.

"Auntie, the prince is gone!" Concubine Liang cried with tears in her eyes.
