Chapter 214 Funeral
In order for her to recover from her illness, Su Chao ordered her to be sent to a remote country manor.

"It's such a pity to let her run away." Yin He was pruning jasmine branches when he heard the news, with resentment and dissatisfaction mixed in his tone.

Su Ruiran took the cut jasmine flower from her hand, put it under her nose and sniffed it lightly, and the aroma immediately wafted into her nostrils.

"Who said she ran away, did you forget that there was a doctor treating her last night?"

Yin He didn't understand for a while, but Su Ruiran just smiled and said nothing.

With his father's attitude towards Su Yanran that day, how could he ask the doctor to see her again? There is only one reason for his father to do this, to kill the root cause.

She suddenly realized that a large part of her current ruthlessness was probably due to heredity.

When Yin He told Su Ruiran the news, his expression was even more reconciled.
My own father, who is in the high position of the prime minister, is not a ruthless figure in the court.

Gu Fei has already gone to investigate, any medical treatment is an excuse, Su Yanran was secretly executed by her father last night.I don't blame my father for being cruel, Su Yanran's appearance was completely ruined that day, her current appearance will only make people disgusted, and there is no way to feel pity.

As for who was sent to the country manor, no one knew when the sedan chair curtain was covered.

Who will come to check the sedan chair of the prime minister's house.

The sunlight falls on the wooden windows carved with neat rhombus patterns, bringing a sense of tranquility.

Suddenly a person came in through the window, the whole movement took only a blink of an eye, and his skills were exceptionally vigorous.

Yin He saw Gu Fei coming, and immediately retreated to the door consciously to guard.

It's rare for Gu Fei to appear like this in broad daylight, but Su Ruiran was not surprised, because she knew that Gu Fei would definitely come today.Even if it wasn't for his master, it was for another matter.

If she guessed right, Nangong Mingxuan should also make a move.

Su Ruiran looked up at him, and said calmly: "Why is Mr. Gu here at this time?" Her tone was very polite, after all, Gu Fei also helped him a lot, without Gu Fei, how could she have given up so easily?

Gu Fei's face was heavy, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally said: "King De is dead."

Su Ruiran heard the words, a slight smile suddenly appeared on her cold face, as if she was discussing interesting things about the boudoir with her playmates, she said calmly: "It seems that Nangong Mingxuan finally couldn't help it, that's right, with him It's really not easy for his temperament to endure until now. I think he must have made good use of this time to get through those old bones that are loyal to King De and standing on the side of King De's son."

Gu Fei was taken aback, and looked at the girl in front of him in disbelief.

Is the other party really a boudoir lady who doesn't leave the door?Even two or three sentences made the situation so clear.

That's right, it is true that all of King De's deployments are now explicitly or secretly loyal to Nangong Mingxuan, and those who refused to be loyal have already been eliminated by Nangong Mingxuan with various "accidents" during this period of time.

The reason why Su Ruiran knew all this was not because she had any ability to predict the future, but because she knew Nangong Mingxuan too well.

He is too aware of his ambition, and too aware of his determination to achieve his goal by unscrupulous means.

Not to mention patricide, I'm afraid there is no one in this world he dare not kill except himself.Nangong Mingxuan has no one, only inflated desires.

She had sacrificed her life for this man's desire, and she even ridiculously claimed that she was infatuated with him.

Ridiculous, really ridiculous.

Yan and Su Yanran are dead, so only Nangong Mingxuan is left.

And it is precisely because of her lifeless following in her previous life that she understands how to deal him the biggest blow in this life.

After all, Nangong Mingxuan is different from Yan Shi and Su Yanran, he needs a reasonable time to move her, and now the time has come.

Gu Fei stared at her, thinking about how to speak about another matter.

Su Ruiran looked at him, for some reason, Gu Fei felt guilty for a moment, he couldn't help lowering his head to avoid the girl's gaze.

However, Su Ruiran took out a jade pendant from her sleeve and handed it directly to Gu Fei.

Gu Fei was taken aback, and looked at her in disbelief.

The jade pendant is mild in texture, light blue in color, and the Panlong pattern hovering on it is lifelike.

"This is the prince's property, and now it has to be returned to the original owner, not to mention that the prince also needs this thing now."

Gu Fei looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and was a little dazed for a moment.

Yes, King De passed away suddenly, and the prince was supposed to go to the palace to express his condolences, and this time the emperor also went.

Originally, this was nothing, but this time Nangong Mingxuan proposed that in order to ensure the safety of the emperor, the prince must enter with a fish card.

And this jade plaque was owned by Nangong Mingxuan, and the material was so special that it couldn't be forged.But whenever a man is born in the royal family, there must be a piece, which is also a symbol of the royal family's status.

It's just that Su Ruiran already suspected about the dream, if she asks for this jade pendant again, Su Ruiran will definitely keep asking, and it will definitely expose Nangong Ling's matter.

But if people know that the lord has lost the jade token, and let someone with a heart make a fuss about it, the consequences will be even more disastrous.

Gu Fei was hesitating how to explain it, when suddenly he heard Su Ruiran say: "Since it's something the prince is in a hurry to ask for, you'd better send it back to the prince as soon as possible."

Gu Fei was taken aback for a moment, then understood immediately, and nodded.

Seeing that Su Ruiran's expression was indifferent, but she didn't seem to intend to ask any further questions, the doubts in Gu Fei's heart suddenly increased a little, and he felt that the girl in front of him was even more difficult to see through.

Su Ruiran looked at Gu Fei's back coming out of the window, a faint smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She knew that Nangong Ling would definitely understand what she meant when he saw the jade pendant, and the good news was later, how could Nangong Mingxuan forget about such a "good thing" as King De's funeral.

She knew Nangong Mingxuan so well, she even knew better than herself.

This made her laugh at herself a little. It seems that the infatuation in her previous life was not useless.

Nangong Mingxuan, don't you like to take advantage of others by any means?Then I'll give you a taste of what it's like to be someone else's stepping stone.

Not long after Gu Fei left, Su Ruiran handed Yin He in. As soon as Yin He came in, he didn't see Gu Fei's figure, so he couldn't help asking: "Miss, has he left?"

Su Ruiran nodded, she was not in the room at all.

She had instructed Gu Fei so much just now, but she forgot the most important point, which is to let Nangong Ling take care of herself.

The funeral of King De may be more dangerous than they imagined.

Nanny Wang is back, this is undoubtedly the happiest thing for Su Ruiran.

Seeing that Nanny Wang was safe and sound, Su Ruiran's eyes softened immediately.

"Mother, you have suffered." Su Ruiran looked at her pale, as if she had aged a lot in an instant, she couldn't help her nose sore, and almost couldn't hold back her tears.

Although she knew that Nanny Wang hadn't been physically tortured, she also knew very well that the Yan mother and daughter would not let her get through it so easily.

"Miss, why are you crying? The maidservant is fine, which made the lady worry." Nanny Wang couldn't help but shed tears when she said that.

Yin He was also overjoyed, but she also laughed and shed tears at the same time, her appearance was a bit funny.

Su Ruiran immediately ordered her servants to send Nanny Wang down to rest, and now that Yin He was with her, Nanny Wang didn't have to worry about herself.

Now Su Ruiran's foot restraint has been lifted, and she is in charge of all matters in the house.

As soon as Su Yanran was "sent away", Nanny Han immediately came out to testify that Yan and Su Yanran conspired to coerce her to frame the eldest lady, and her so-called evidence was completely overturned by herself at this moment.On the contrary, it listed all kinds of evidence that Yan's mother and daughter threatened and lured her.

Su Chao was furious, but because of his face, he didn't want to say anything about it, but secretly ordered someone to bury Yan's family elsewhere, and put her name out of the family tree.

Su Ruiran knew very well that what her father did was equivalent to expelling Yan from the house.

Presumably, if my second mother knew the news under the Nine Springs, she would definitely die with regret.

In the blink of an eye, it was the first seven days of King De, that is, the time when the emperor, prince, and ministers of civil and military affairs were going to worship at King De's mansion.

As the prime minister, Su Chao is an important minister in the court, so he should go, but whether Su Ruiran goes or not is not very important.

Su Chao didn't intend to take Su Ruiran with him at first, but when the post was delivered, the Prince De's Mansion specified that Miss Su should go with him.

Su Ruiran was not surprised, the meaning of De Wangfu was the meaning of Nangong Mingxuan.

Yin He couldn't help being a little worried. The relationship between the young lady and De Wang's mansion was not harmonious, but now they insisted that the young lady should go over. Isn't this typical of malicious intentions?
But looking at the young lady carefully dressed for the funeral, she seemed to be very important.

Yin He has always believed in Su Ruiran's judgment, so he didn't say much.

The motorcade from Su's mansion headed for the palace in a mighty manner. After all, this time they were traveling with Su Chao, which was different from the usual trips with the female relatives of the Xiangfu.

It's just that there was silence along the way, and I heard the slightest hustle and bustle in the usual market.

Yin He lifted the curtain of the car to look, and saw white sails hanging everywhere in the city, and white lanterns with a big "Dian" written on them were hung on the door of each house.

Pedestrians on the road are all dressed in plain clothes and white scarves, and they walk with their heads down.

The emperor has ordered that the whole city of Kyoto mourn for seven days, so it is such a sad scene to look around.

But this is not a sign of big things to come, just like the calm sea before the storm.

This is not the first time for Su Ruiran to come to Prince De's Mansion, but it's different from the previous few times. As soon as you get off the carriage, you can see the plain white color everywhere. The whole palace still stands majestic as before, but there is a bit of sadness in the awe. the taste of.

The servants stood with their hands down, all in white clothes and white scarves, surrounded by carriages, and the outer tents of the carriages were all replaced with dull dark green and dark blue colors.

Everyone was silent one after another, and slowly entered the palace, and the atmosphere became even more gloomy for a while.

Su Ruiran followed behind Su Chao without saying a word, and soon reached the lobby.

The hall is full of people waiting at this moment, all the princes have come, but the emperor is not there.

Su Ruiran saw Nangong Ling, and saw that although he was dressed in plain clothes, he was sitting in a wheelchair. Su Ruiran's gaze only lingered on him for a moment, and then quickly looked away.However, it didn't take long before she felt a pair of hot eyes staring at her.

She didn't even look at who it was, who else but Nangong Mingxuan.

It's just that she pretended not to notice, and she didn't even turn her head to look in his direction.

There were rustling conversations among the guests, but they were very light greetings. On such an occasion, everyone couldn't help but lower their voices.

Su Ruiran followed Su Chao boredly, just silently listening to other ministers come to say hello to him.

But at this moment, all the surrounding sounds suddenly stopped, and the whole hall was suddenly quiet, as if even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard.

Here comes the emperor.

Su Ruiran followed behind Su Chao, bowed to the door, and shouted "Long live" together with everyone.

After the emperor sat down, he said "Excuse me", and everyone got up from the ground one after another.

After the arrival of the emperor, the whole memorial service finally officially started. During the whole process, Su Ruiran's follower, Su Chao, got up, knelt down, stood up again, and knelt down to King De's coffin under the long voice of the ceremony officer, and finally waited for the official memorial service. When it was over, it was only during the banquet that Su Ruiran took Yin He out to get some air.

She originally wanted to use this to ask Gu Fei about the situation around the palace. Since Gu Fei was ordered by Nangong Ling to protect her, he naturally followed her.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she brought Yin He to the deserted garden, she was immediately stopped by someone, and it happened that this person was the last person she wanted to see at the moment.

There was no one else here, so Su Ruiran naturally said coldly: "The third master isn't in the front hall calling everyone to set an example, what are you doing here to block my way?"

Nangong Mingxuan raised his eyebrows, even though his brows were frowning, he looked handsome and moving. His deep eyes stared straight at Su Ruiran: "I have something to say to you alone."

What he meant was to make him avoid it immediately.
