From falling ill to dying, it only took seven days for the old King of Nanyang.
Seven days later, he quietly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
A life of military service, with decades of ups and downs, has come to an end. Throughout his life, he has been loyal and responsible to the emperor, and to the people below, with no regrets.
An Huajin released the news of the death of the old Nanyang King in Nanyang City, and it was only limited to Nanyang City.
When the people heard the news, they mourned and wept one after another. Every household in Nanyang City shed tears, and every household wore linen. At the same time, they set up a memorial tablet for the old King of Nanyang.
After seven days of mourning, all the people in the city, together with An Huajin, sent the old King Nanyang to the Anjia ancestral mausoleum.
Shen Yuanzhi and Chu Xiyun were crying harder than the other. Anhua Jin was like eight years ago, with just one tear falling on the newly planted branches in front of the grave. It was instantly covered by snow and no trace was left.
Cui Zhuo looked at An Huajin's frail figure. From beginning to end, she didn't cry, but her grief followed her.
Xu Qingyan stepped forward, put his hand on An Huajin's shoulder, and added slightly, "Although Grandpa An is gone, we are still here."
An Huajin reached out and flicked the snow falling on his shoulders, and said casually, "Yes, you are still here, and Ning'er is here. I am not alone."
"It's getting late." Xu Qingyan said again.
"Let's go back." An Huajin turned around and waved to everyone, "Go back home."
There was no crying on the way back to the city. Shen Yuanzhi's head was drooping, and he lay on the horse's back, as if his soul had been drained.
An Huajin looked at him and couldn't help but kicked him, right on his calf. The force was not light, and he made a "sizzle" sound. He turned back and glared at An Huajin, "Smelly girl, you What?"
"Kick you."
Shen Yuan's anger, "Did I provoke you?"
"I didn't provoke you, I just want to kick you."
Shen Yuanzhi suddenly became furious and raised his foot to kick An Huajin.
An Huajin rode away from him, and Shen Yuanzhi chased him and kicked him. The two of them went back to the city, kicking and hiding. Shen Yuanzhi still didn't kick An Huajin, but miraculously he was healed. It made him feel uncomfortable and wanted to die.
Panting, he reined in the horse and sat up straight, "I'm going to the military camp."
"Go away!" An Huajin entered the city without looking back.
Shen Yuanzhi stared at An Huajin's back and gritted his teeth for a while, then swept away his decadence and turned around to ride to the military camp.
Chu Xiyun opened the car curtain, looked at Shen Yuanzhi's horse and walked away, and whispered, "I have never seen a man who can cry more than a woman. This is an eye-opener."
A maid whispered, "General Shen doesn't cry more than women, he cries just as much as you, princess."
Chu Xiyun glared at the palace maid, "Is there anyone who can cry more than me?"
The palace maid shut up.
The third princess is famous for her ability to cry. When she liked Young Master Gu Qi, she would make trouble to the queen every now and then. The queen would ignore her and she would cry so sadly that she would cry for half a day without being able to stop. She has never seen a woman who can cry more than the third princess.
In this way, General Shen can indeed cry better than women.
Returning to the Nanyang Palace, An Huajin threw the horse's reins to the doorman, stepped into the door of the palace, turned around and said to Cui Zhuo, "Brother Cui Shi, I am very sleepy. I will sleep for about two days."
Cui Zhuo immediately said, "Just rest and leave everything to me."
An Huajin nodded, "Don't be too tired. Let brother Qingyan help you. There is also Anping. The Wang family doesn't need to check, so he doesn't have to go to Jiangzhou."
Cui Zhuo nodded, "Okay."
An Huajin returned to his yard, entered the door, kicked off his shoes, threw himself on the bed, and fell asleep.
Chu Xiyun returned to the courtyard a step behind An Huajin. Seeing that the courtyard was quiet and the house was quiet, she quietly poked her head out, took a look at An Huajin's room through the crack in the door, and then turned around. Walking back to his room, he whispered, "Is my cousin asleep? Isn't she lying on the bed crying?"
The palace maid whispered, "It doesn't look like she's crying. There's no sound at all. It really looks like she's asleep."
Another maid whispered, "The little princess hasn't slept much for seven days in a row. She has been staying in the old prince's yard to guard her. She is probably very sleepy."
Chu Xiyun's eyes turned red again, "Grandpa is such a good person, so he just left."
She paused and said bitterly, "It's all the Wang family's trouble in Jiangzhou. They wrote such a letter. On the surface, grandpa acted like nothing happened, but in his heart he was depressed, which made his already overwhelmed body aggravated."
She shed tears again, "It's all my fault. If I had been with my grandpa, helped him pick up the box early, discovered the letter early and hid it, he might not have been able to see the letter."
The palace maid whispered, "I don't blame you, princess. You don't know what the Wang family in Jiangzhou is planning. No one can predict it."
Another palace maid nodded, "If you want to blame, blame the Wang family of Jiangzhou. When His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, we will behead all the Wang family."
Chu Xiyun stopped crying and said, "I will write a letter to my brother right now."
The palace maid immediately reminded, "The little princess has blocked the news of the old prince's death from the outside world. If you write a letter, I'm afraid it won't be good. If the news leaks..."
Chu Xiyun immediately stopped walking towards the table, "Yes, I can't write a letter, so I'll wait until my cousin wakes up."
She turned around sadly and went to bed.
After the emperor decreed the marriage, he kept waiting for news from Gu Qingyan. Unexpectedly, he didn't expect anything. Gu Qingyan stayed behind closed doors. The Gu family thanked guests behind closed doors, and the children of the Gu family in the court also complained of illness.
My dear, many important positions in the imperial court are without support, and the entire imperial court can no longer function in an instant.
After all, it was still the domain of the Chu family. The emperor had always cared about it. Seeing that he was a little anxious, he asked Wang Anzhi, "Although Gu Qingyan didn't break into the palace to find me, he blocked my imperial edict of marriage.
If he doesn't go to court, the Gu family will close the door to thank guests, and they won't go in or out. The entire Gu family will follow his lead and complain one after another. How can this go on?"
"Your Majesty, what are you worried about? Will this country not belong to His Highness the Crown Prince in the future? Let His Highness the Crown Prince find a way to arrange someone to take over. Without the Gu family, will the country of Chu not be able to function?" Wang Anzhi did not care.

The emperor thought about it and asked tentatively, "What about your Wang family?"
"My Wang family, like the Gu family, need to let them understand clearly that this great Chu is not controlled by the Gu family and the Wang family. This world belongs to His Majesty, the Chu family, and everyone in the world. Everyone has it."
Responsibility."
"Okay, okay, my words of love for you have won my heart." The emperor was happy and told Eunuch Zhang, "Go and pass on my instructions and let Chu Yan arrange someone to replace the person from the Wang family who complained of illness."
Eunuch Zhang responded and turned around.
In the Prince's Mansion, Chu Yan thought that the news should have reached Nanyang now. What would his cousin do when he learned that Gu Qingyan was granted a marriage? Was he angry? Or was he relieved? There was no need to embarrass himself anymore and he took the opportunity to let go.
Where is Gu Qingyan?
After Eunuch Zhang arrived, he told Chu Yan the emperor's will.
Chu Yan narrowed his eyes, "Father, you want me to arrange for someone to take over the Gu family?"
"Yes."
"Who gave father the idea?" Chu Yan asked.
His father did not dare to do this to the Gu family.
"It's Mr. Wang."
Chu Yan sneered, "Why didn't he take the opportunity to arrange for someone from his Wang family?"
Eunuch Zhang did not hide anything and told what Wang Anzhi said to His Majesty.
Chu Yan put down the Zhou Zhe in his hand, was silent for a moment, and said calmly, "I understand."
Eunuch Zhang finished his errands and left the Prince's Mansion.
Chu Yan sat quietly in the study for a moment, and then told the waiter, "Go and invite the elder brother."
Not long after, Chu Xian came to Chu Yan's study and took off his cloak. Although he was his brother, he still gave Chu Yan the gift of meeting the crown prince according to the rules.
Chu Yan accepted it and said, "Brother, there is no need to be polite."
Chu Xian straightened up and said, "Seventh brother called me here to tell all the people in the Gu family about their illness?"
Chu Yan nodded, motioned for him to sit down, and said calmly, "Father just sent someone to send a message, asking me to send someone to take care of the person who complained about the illness in the Gu family."
Chu Xian was startled, "Father, are you going to...take the opportunity to terminate the official positions of everyone in the Gu family?"
"Wang Anzhi gave his father the advice."
Chu Xian fell silent for a moment.
Chu Yan looked at Chu Xian, "Brother, let's go to the Gu family! Gu Qingyan doesn't see anyone else, so he should meet you."
Chu Xian immediately said, "Seventh brother, I didn't hide my grief and cry in front of Huai'an because of the battle of Yuxueling. Later, I asked him for help in the private weapons making case. He only helped me. Now I have been
The verbal agreement you made with him when you rescued me no longer counts, and he may not be able to see me now."
Chu Yan's eyes were calm, "I have no other intention, I just want to use my eldest brother to meet him and see what he means."
Chu Xian understood, "You want to ask him about the marriage. Now that he is staying behind closed doors and all the Gu family members are sick, what do you want to do?"
"Yes, is it for this silent confrontation with my father, or is it because I want to destroy the Gu family's lifelong business in one fell swoop."
