Chapter 424 I haven't found it yet, what should I do?
Chu Qianli always felt that what Feng Yexuan said to her on the carriage, there was still a long way to go, had some meaning.
But she is really sad now, so sad that she has no energy to think about this problem.
The mourning hall is very simple. The old Marquis did not like extravagance and waste, nor was he very fond of excitement.
Speaking of which, he had no real close friends in his life.
But many of his peers and juniors in the court respected him.
So after the news of Lao Houye's death was sent out, many people came uninvited.
Long Feifan knelt in front of the mourning hall. Although he didn't look too decadent, Chu Qianli knew that his uncle was really feeling uncomfortable.
Feng Yexuan's words may have been unintentional, but they told the truth.
After the old Marquis left, my uncle had no relatives in this world.
She is a niece in name only.
When Feng Yexuan arrived, many people immediately went over to say hello, and the housekeeper of the Marquis's Mansion also came quickly to prepare the details for the incense burning for Prince Xuan.
Long Feifan was still kneeling in front of the mourning hall. When he looked up, he saw Feng Yexuan and Chu Qianli coming together. Although his face was gloomy, he still saluted cautiously.
"Uncle." After Chu Qianli offered incense, she walked to his side and knelt down with him.
Long Feifan said hoarsely: "Xiao Li'er, you are married, there is no need for this."
The most important thing is that she is the young highness of Longteng Kingdom and her father's mistress.
Master, there is no need to kneel down.
But Chu Qianli still knelt beside him, looked at the coffin, and said softly: "I don't know any etiquette, I only know that the person I am kneeling on is my grandfather."
Long Feifan's heart was filled with heat, and thousands of words were stuck in his heart.
After a while, he whispered: "Don't be sad. When dad left, he walked peacefully and didn't suffer too much pain."
"The only thing he can't worry about is you. As long as you are well, dad will rest in peace."
Chu Qianli's eyes felt sour.
Looked up at him.
Long Feifan nodded lightly: "As long as you have a good life."
...That day, Chu Qianli stayed in the mourning hall and kept vigil with Long Feifan.
In the yard outside, there was a lot of excitement even in the middle of the night.
There is a secular saying here that on the night of wake-up, in addition to the family members who keep vigil in the mourning hall, the more people who accompany the deceased outside, the easier the road for the deceased will be, and the brighter the path of reincarnation will be.
But the old Marquis really didn’t like to make friends during his lifetime. He lived in seclusion, so why did he have more and more people accompanying his soul?
The housekeeper is busy entertaining guests and does not have much time to communicate with his family.
It was not until the third day that the old Marquis was about to be laid to rest.
The funeral was still crowded with people.
However, neither Long Feifan nor Chu Qianli cared about this. After the funeral, Chu Qianli had the opportunity to chat with Long Feifan alone.
"His Royal Highness Xiyue's token?" Long Feifan took the token from Chu Qianli's hand and studied it carefully.
He was still a teenager at that time, and because he had stayed in Beiming Kingdom for too long, his impression of many things in Longteng Kingdom was actually given by his father.
However, he did know many of his father's former friends.
"What else is there in the cave? Is there...is there anything from His Highness..."
He didn't want to say the word "corpse".
Although the time with Long Xiyue didn't last very long, His Highness Xiyue treated him like a biological brother.
In addition to respecting Long Xiyue, Long Feifan also had feelings for his sister in his heart.
Chu Qianli shook his head: "Prince Xuan said that there is a coffin buried in the solitary grave inside, and this token is in the coffin."
Long Feifan frowned: "Then it seems that Concubine Yu only used this token as if she was coming to pay homage to His Highness Xiyue, but I don't know what the relationship between Concubine Yu and His Highness is."
"I'm just wondering about this now. I heard that Concubine Yu was a person in the world before she entered the palace, but after she entered the palace, she has been worshiping Buddha and praying for Wuya. She has been worshiping for more than ten years."
In fact, it is conceivable that my son is so weak that a prophet even gave him a life-saving advice, saying that he would not live to be twenty-five years old.
Concubine Yu only has one son. If her son is gone, there will be no point in doing anything she does.
So what meaning do those affairs in the world have to her?
Asking Buddha to bless my son is the most important thing.
Long Feifan said calmly: "Leave this matter to me for investigation. The top priority is to find the jade seal first."
"That cave has already been inspected by Ouchi guards. It is unlikely that the jade seal is there." Chu Qianli shook his head.
The Ouchi guards will definitely turn the cave inside and out.
However, the fact that the emperor would send so many guards to look for Concubine Yu was somewhat beyond Chu Qianli's expectations.
If an ordinary concubine leaves and does not come back, for the sake of the royal family's face, she will probably declare to the outside world that she has died of illness.
By sending so many guards to investigate, aren't you afraid that the news will leak out?
"What different meaning does Concubine Yu have to the Emperor?" Chu Qianli bit her fingers and thought carefully.
But at this moment, the housekeeper came in a hurry.
"Second Young Master, Miss Li'er, that... the guest hasn't left yet, this..."
"You haven't left yet?" Long Feifan and Chu Qianli looked at each other.
Everyone has been buried and the funeral is over, why haven’t they left yet?
The butler looked embarrassed: "Because the prince is still here. If the prince doesn't leave, the other guests won't dare to leave."
"What?" Chu Qianli looked shocked.
Is Feng Yexuan still there?
"When did he come here today?" She had been guarding her grandfather's mourning hall for the past two days, and she didn't notice what was going on outside.
The housekeeper glanced at her and then at Long Feifan: "The prince has never left. After sending the young lady over that day, he has been staying in the yard. I think he wanted to wait for the young lady and go back with her."
After all, we came here from Prince Xuan’s Mansion together.
Although no one can tell what the relationship between Chu Qianli and Prince Xuan is, but the two came together, and this relationship... is also very close.
"Ah Li, you are a member of the royal family and cannot be neglected. You should go back with Prince Xuan first."
Long Feifan shook her shoulders with some force: "Don't worry, uncle will find you soon."
"Um."
Before Chu Qianli left, she couldn't help but look back and look at him.
"Uncle, you don't have any relatives in this world anymore, you still have me, remember!"
Long Feifan felt a warm feeling in his heart, looked at her deeply, and nodded cautiously: "As long as you still call me uncle, I will be your uncle for life!"
"Yeah!" Chu Qianli also nodded.
Then, under the leadership of the housekeeper, he came to the yard and walked in front of the man.
He was dressed in mysterious clothes, clearly the same one he wore two days ago.
This guy really stayed here for two days and two nights.
...Prince Xuan left, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and could leave.
When I went back, I still rode the same carriage as when I came here.
However, Chu Qianli's mood was obviously different from when she arrived.
Now, at least it's not so depressing.
There will always be a trip in this life. I just hope that I won’t have so many regrets in this life.
She looked out the window at the bustling pedestrians and vehicles passing by.
The old Marquis still has regrets. After all, he cannot wait for Her Highness Xiyue to come back, and cannot see her return to Longteng Kingdom and take back everything that belongs to Her Highness Xiyue.
It's time for her to return to Longteng Kingdom.
But, the jade seal hasn’t been found yet, what should I do?
