Broken mountains and rivers: Sushou restores the universe

Chapter 157
Only then did Shen Muyu turn around and walk forward. He walked through the back hall to the backyard, walked on the corridor and looked left and right. His eyes quickly settled on the lush pear tree in the left yard.

He walked to the gap in the middle of the corridor and stepped down three stone steps to the courtyard, walked slowly under the pear tree, looked up at the flourishing crown of the pear tree, and exclaimed: "This pear tree must be quite old. , It’s just a pity that it’s not the season when pear blossoms are in full bloom, otherwise we would be lucky enough to see the beauty of white pear blossoms falling like snow.”

Shen Muyu sighed, just in time to hear the sound of hurried footsteps approaching, he turned his head to look over, and saw that it was Xiao Ji who came here with several court ladies.

Shen Muyu looked at Xiao Ji and the others calmly, and when they approached, he set his eyes on one of the oldest maids, who just helped Wei Ying bury Mrs. Xiao Mother Lin.

Shen Muyu looked at Nanny Lin indifferently, and asked softly, "Are you serving Mrs. Xiao?"

"Respond to Lord Shen's words." Mother Lin's eyes concealed hatred but concealed it very well. She bowed to Shen Muyu in a polite manner, and replied: "This servant has been with Mrs. Xiao since she was a child." of."

Shen Muyu nodded, and said softly: "Then I ask you, where is Mrs. Xiao now?"

"Mrs. Xiao..." Nanny Lin couldn't help but her eyes turned red, she lowered her head to hide the hatred that might be shown on her face, her voice was a little choked up, and she replied in a low voice: "Madam has already gone..."

Shen Muyu thought of the bloody wine remaining in the wine glass on the table of the Eight Immortals in the main hall, and asked, "But he committed suicide by drinking poisonous wine? So where is Mrs. Xiao's body?"

"Yes." Nanny Lin lowered her head deeply, and replied with a choked voice: "Princess Ying refused to leave Madam's body, fearing that Madam would be insulted by the soldiers brought by Shen Guojun, so she burned Madam's body and sent Take the ashes away."

Hearing this, Shen Muyu inadvertently lowered his eyes to see the land under the pear tree, and when he saw a slight flaw, his gaze didn't move.

After a while, Shen Muyu averted his gaze from under the pear tree. He no longer delved into Mrs. Xiao's affairs, but stretched out his right hand to show the red jade hairpin in his hand to Nanny Lin, and said, "Do you know this jade hairpin?" ?”

Nanny Lin looked up at Shen Muyu's hand, her eyes became redder when she saw the jade hairpin, and she finally shed tears.Wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she replied with a choked voice: "This is the jade hairpin that Princess Ying gave to Madam. Madam regards it as a treasure, so she always wears it on her head."

"Princess Sakura..." Shen Muyu lowered her eyes and looked at the jade hairpin in her hand suspiciously. There was a faint thought in her mind that she was about to grasp, but she couldn't think of anything, so she couldn't help but become more and more confused.

After a long time, he stopped thinking about the jade hairpin, put the jade hairpin in his arms and put it away, and said to Nanny Lin: "Okay, I understand, you can leave now."

"Yes." Nanny Lin bowed and bowed, and walked back and forth along the road with the other maids under the escort of two guards ordered by Xiao Ji.

And Xiao Ji took two steps forward and came to Shen Muyu's side, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, your servants showed the collar to many eunuchs and court ladies, and they all said with certainty that it was indeed It is said that Princess Ying wore it on her body since she was a child. It is said that her grandmother specially went to the temple to ask for it. Moreover, what Princess Ying said on the top of the Qingyang Palace before setting fire to herself has spread in the palace, and the servants sent people to secretly investigate , Many palace maids and eunuchs have heard about Princess Sakura's death for the country."

"So..." Shen Muyu lowered her eyes lightly, her voice was very soft, it sounded a little illusory, and said faintly: "The girl, did she really die for the country?"

Shen Muyu never showed his emotions, but Xiao Ji had been by his side since he was a child, so he could figure out his emotions to some extent. Looking at his appearance now, he could see the look of regret and loss that he tried his best to hide. Can't help shaking his head and sighing softly.

It seems that Jun Shang really wanted to keep Wei Ying by his side, but it's a pity that Wei Ying, a woman with too strong a temperament, died for the country with her own body.Really...

Pity.
