Chapter 273 Returning to Beijing
All the way back to Prince Cheng's mansion, a coffin shed has been set up outside the mansion, and there are servants who take turns lighting the lamps and incense. In the spirit shed, the red lanterns at the gate were replaced with white ones, with the word "Dian" on them.

"Daughter-in-law, you're finally back, and you're worried about dying as a husband." After entering her room, she heard a familiar male voice behind her.

Hongxue was startled, with joy on her face, turned around, just in time to see Shan Yucheng looking at her with a smile on her face, her face flushed suddenly, she pulled away his outstretched hands and said, "When did you arrive?"

Shan Yucheng rushed to nothing, but he was not very angry, but said a little aggrieved: "Daughter-in-law, in order to see you, I came back day and night for my husband, and several horses were exhausted to death along the way. You heard that?" This body smells like sweat, why don't you even get a reward, I'm really sad for my husband!"

"Uh..." For Shan Yucheng's sudden change of style, Hongxue expressed that she didn't accept Shan Yucheng's sudden change of style. She rubbed her arms and said, "Who did you learn these words from? Or were you simply transferred by a mysterious organization?" gone?"

While speaking, he carefully looked at Shan Yucheng's face, focusing on the neck, to see if there were any traces of skin bonding.

"You've watched a lot of movies recently."

Shan Yucheng held his hand to his lips and coughed lightly twice. He didn't know how to say these words, and he learned them all from the scriptures Yun An found for him.

"Hey, how did the Queen Mother die? Is there any news?" Although I had some premonition in my heart, I still wanted to make sure.

"Being assassinated, the news has been blocked until after the death knell, most of the insiders in the palace were silenced, and almost all the insiders were executed." Speaking of this matter, Shan Yucheng's face was stern, His eyes were deep, and it was as if he had changed into a different person at this time, without the slightest playful attitude just now, and his voice was hoarse and low, with a hint of sadness.

"Do you know who did it?" Hongxue's face also darkened upon hearing this unexpected answer.She thought Shan Yu Wenhao and his son would not make a big fuss, but she didn't expect...

"Shan Yumao."

After getting this answer, Hongxue was also surprised, how could she forget about this person.Shan Yumao's ambition is not small.

"The news I got is not certain." Shan Yucheng said: "The assassination of the Queen Mother this time did not alarm anyone at all. It was only discovered at dawn, which shows that the person or organization has sophisticated methods and has penetrated into the palace."

"That's not necessarily him, it might be Shan Yukun or Shan Yuwenhao, don't they have more reasons?" What Hongxue said was that they took back the military power from Shan Yucheng by giving the Queen Mother the opportunity to go to the funeral. .

Hongxue moved her shoulders. After sitting on her knees for a while, it wasn't her legs that felt uncomfortable, but her shoulder blades. She punched it twice with her fists, and she felt a little more relaxed.

"What's wrong? Your shoulder hurts?"

"Well, after kneeling for a while, weeping and pretending to be dizzy, now my eyes hurt and my back hurts too."

As soon as Hongxue finished speaking, Shan Yucheng had already come up behind her and stood still. He grasped Hongxue's thin shoulders with two big hands and kneaded them with moderate strength. Give someone a massage."

"the first time."

Hongxue closed her eyes to enjoy Shan Yucheng's service, but she still felt a little uncomfortable, so she asked out of words, "Did you receive an urgent call from Shan Yuwenhao when you returned to Beijing?"

"Yeah. Yun'an leads the big troops behind, I'll rush back first." Shan Yucheng had nothing to hide from Hongxue. In the past few days, his daughter-in-law's every move was under his control. He hugged her waist and said softly, "I'm sorry for bringing you into danger."

Hongxue knew that he was talking about the hidden guard, so she immediately smiled and said, "Isn't it almost? I'm fine if I'm almost there! Don't worry, I have the ability to protect myself."

"I know, just like those four maids, don't let them leave your side in the future, I also feel relieved." Shan Yucheng resisted the urge to ask Luliu and the others about their backgrounds, although he was dying of curiosity.

Hongxue could see the true thoughts in his heart, but deliberately did not say anything, and pushed him into the bathroom to take a bath. As soon as Yun An arrived with the army, he would go out of the city to join them, and then went directly to the palace for the funeral. At that time, it may be another tough battle to fight.

Ten days later, Shan Yucheng was dressed up by Hongxue, sneaked out of the city to meet Yun'an, and then he entered the palace in plain clothes.

Shan Yucheng first went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom, kowtowed to the Empress Dowager, and then went to see Shan Yuwenhao.

"Prince Cheng, the queen mother is gone, I think you should be the one who is most sad." Shan Yu Wenhao looked at Shan Yucheng with a sad face in a strange way.

"It's rare for a person to live to be seventy, and the queen mother is already seventy-eight years old. I shouldn't be sad, I should be happy for the queen mother's blessing."

"That's right, then you should also guard the spirit of the Queen Mother." Shan Yu Wenhao nodded, and then asked: "How is Princess Cheng's health?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I haven't returned to the mansion yet, but I just heard a report from my subordinates that after leaving the palace with His Majesty's grace that day, I was shocked again, and my body, which was better than before, caught a cold again." Shan Yucheng said honestly , his eyes were lowered all the time, but his hands in the sleeves were already clenched into fists, he dared to send someone to assassinate Xue'er, and now he still has the face to ask.

Although it had been so many days since the Queen Mother passed away, there were still many people who came to express condolences, but most of them left after offering incense and saluting. They could not stay if they wanted to, and could only go outside to cry.

Only the Queen Mother's dowry, Lady Liang, was always guarding in front of the coffin, and Shan Yucheng was surprised how she was still alive.

It is said that from the moment the Queen Mother closed her eyes, Lady Liang has been with her all the time. It has been more than half a month now. Except for sleeping for two hours a day, the rest of the time will be quietly or kneeling or sitting beside the coffin. Cry and don't speak.

Even if Shan Yucheng greeted her, she just nodded lightly without saying a word.

Under normal circumstances, she could leave if there was someone watching the night, but after so many days, no matter who was watching the night, Ms. Liang would not leave, so everyone got used to it.

The so-called night vigil is to keep the eternal lamp in front of the spirit not to be extinguished, and to keep the brazier to burn the paper money from time to time.

People here are superstitious. It is said that after a person dies, it takes a long time to walk a long way to reach the underworld. During this process, you have to keep buying the little ghosts on the road, otherwise you will not be able to enter the underworld if you are not allowed to pass. Reincarnation, then you can only be a lonely ghost...

Therefore, people in Yangjian have to burn paper money non-stop, so that the dead will not have no money to buy roads.

Shan Yucheng was noncommittal about this, it was just a custom, there was no right or wrong.
