Qiao Nian was suddenly shocked. Before she could react, Concubine De Gui suddenly grabbed her arm with her backhand.

The tear-stained face now held a sinister smile, "I sent her out of the palace yesterday to purchase objects for folk worship. Today you came into the palace and said these words to me. Why? , are you afraid that I really want you to have a ghost marriage and be buried with Qier? "

Qiao Nian took a deep breath, but raised her hand to wipe the tears on Concubine De's face, "Yes, even though a civilian girl is dying, she is also afraid of death."

Qiao Nian's fingers were covered with a layer of calluses and they touched Concubine De Gui's delicate face, which actually gave Concubine De Gui a goose bump all over her body.

She had never thought that a woman's hands could be so rough.

Even the maids serving beside her were not as rough to the touch as Qiao Nian.

But Qiao Nian didn't realize it. Instead, he smiled tenderly at Concubine De, "This person has passed away, but the living must still live well. Your Majesty, you should understand what I mean."

Prince Ming is Concubine De Gui's only son and her only support.

Now that King Ming is dead, what Concubine De Gui needs to do now is to find a way to rely on herself and find a way for her to gain a stable foothold in the harem.

Instead, he just kept thinking about how to get Qiao Nian to be buried with Prince Ming!

After all, Concubine De Gui had gained experience in the deep palace. After listening to Qiao Nian's words, she really regained some sense.

He turned around and walked towards the soft couch beside him.

Qiao Nian helped Concubine De Gui lie down, took the blanket on the side and gently covered Concubine De Gui.

Then, he took out the land deed of the tailor shop from his arms, "This is the land deed given by the empress. I am a daughter of the people who does not have this blessing. I hope the empress will take it back."

Concubine De Gui lowered her eyes and glanced at the land deed. There was no reason to take back what was originally given as a reward.

However, without King Ming, she will have to make arrangements in the palace in the future, which will inevitably cost money.

After much thought, Concubine De Gui took over the land deed.

However, when she took over the land deed, she looked at Qiao Nian's face very carefully.

She thought Qiao Nian would be somewhat reluctant to hand over the land deed, but unexpectedly, after she accepted it, Qiao Nian actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Is it because after handing over the land deed, she and she were completely separated?

It's time to settle things, after all, everyone is dead.

Concubine De Gui took a deep breath. She hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days since Prince Ming was kidnapped by Bai Bai. Her mood had been ups and downs in the past two days. When she relaxed now, she only felt a splitting headache.

Drowsily, he closed his eyes.

However, before falling asleep completely, Concubine De Gui still said, "Go and see Qi'er! Go see him off on his last journey."

Qiao Nian was stunned. In fact, she wanted to tell Concubine De that she had gone to worship before she came.

But it was obvious that Concubine De Gui couldn't hear anything she said at the moment.

If Concubine De Gui wakes up and realizes that she did not follow her instructions, the hatred that was finally appeased may come up again.

Helpless, Qiao Nian let out a long sigh and could only go to Prince Ming's mourning hall again.

To be honest, she didn't really want to come to a place like this.

The white color was too dazzling, and the smell of incense candles was too strong, especially the big, black coffin, which made Qiao Nian unable to help but think of the old lady.

Thinking of the old lady's increasingly unlucky body, thinking that Mrs. Lin had said that the old lady would only be alive in a few months, and thinking that she might meet her grandmother in such a scene in the future, Qiao Nian's eyes were filled with circles. He blushed consciously.

She sniffed before entering the mourning hall.

Since Concubine De Gui said that she would see Prince Ming off on his last journey, she did not mean to just bow and leave.

So after Qiao Nian finished the ceremony, he went to burn paper money for King Ming.

The two young eunuchs outside the mourning hall looked at this scene and couldn't help but whisper.

"That Miss Qiao seems to have a deep affection for Prince Ming! She just came here this morning, and now she comes again."

"Yeah, didn't you see that her eyes turned red when she saw Prince Ming's coffin? How pitiful she is!"

"Alas... Passion has been filled with hatred since ancient times... Ah! Slave, this slave has met Mr. Xiao!"

Xiao Heng's face was as cold as if it had been frozen by ice. A pair of eyes swept over the two eunuchs, as if his voice was full of murderous intent, "The rules in the palace teach you to talk about the master?"

The two young eunuchs were stunned, thinking that this girl Qiao was not really a master, right?

But looking at Xiao Heng's indifferent look, I was panicking and kowtowed, "I don't dare, please forgive me, Master Xiao!"

Mr. Xiao seemed to be in a bad mood today. He snorted coldly and said, "Go and receive the punishment yourself!"

The two young eunuchs looked at each other and felt unlucky, but they could only agree and left obediently.

Xiao Heng then entered the mourning hall.

After offering incense to King Ming, he walked to Qiao Nian's side.

Sensing someone approaching, Qiao Nian raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said in a low voice, "Master Xiao, you have such a big air."

She heard the movement just now clearly.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Heng frowned and felt inexplicably displeased in his heart. He couldn't help but taunted her, "Miss Qiao is really affectionate towards Prince Ming."

"..." Qiao Nian then put down the paper money in his hand and looked up at Xiao Heng.

She was obviously made like this by the smoke of burning paper. What did he mean by looking so sinister?

He immediately responded, "It's better than some people being unkind and unjust."

Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows lightly.

Unkind?

he?

Just as he was about to argue, a message came from outside, "The emperor has arrived..."

In the mourning hall, everyone knelt down and saluted, and then saw a bright yellow figure entering the mourning hall, followed by two women in luxurious clothes.

The younger one was Princess Shu Yuan, who had a dispute with Qiao Nian not long ago.

The other one was the current queen.

It is not reasonable for the elders to salute the younger generation, let alone the king and mother of a country.

Therefore, only Shu Yuan stepped forward to salute and burn incense.

But when Princess Shu Yuan entered the mourning hall, she saw Qiao Nian and Xiao Heng at a glance.

Seeing that the two of them were so close, Princess Shu Yuan felt uncomfortable.

Looking at Qiao Nian's red eyes, Princess Shu Yuan couldn't help but stand beside the emperor, holding the emperor's arm, and said, "Father, you see, Miss Qiao really loves my brother deeply!"

The emperor also saw Qiao Nian's somewhat embarrassed face, and nodded in agreement.

The Queen also echoed, "Prince Ming died to protect Miss Qiao, Miss Qiao must be very sad."

"That's natural, obviously my brother is about to marry Miss Qiao!" Princess Shu Yuan spoke again.

Hearing this, Qiao Nian felt a little uneasy.

Because three years ago, the Queen and Princess Shu Yuan sang the same tune and sent her to the laundry department.

But before she could say anything, Princess Shu Yuan's voice came again, "Why not do this! Let Miss Qiao escort my brother to the funeral as a widow, so as to fulfill my brother's last wish before his death!"

Let an unmarried girl be buried as a widow?

Wouldn't that make Qiao Nian the laughing stock of the whole capital?
