Although the King of Xixia promised to send the princess's body back to Yuncheng, he had one condition.
The purpose is to cremate the princess first and send her ashes back.
He knew that the man had been waiting for her in Yuncheng, and the paranoid King of Xixia would never let the two meet, even if Yuxian was dead.
Guo Zhao didn't know what he was thinking, and since it was hot now, the body couldn't be preserved at all. Cremation would be more convenient, so he decisively agreed.
On the seventh day of July, the princess's coffin arrived at Yuncheng.
Guo Zhao led people to personally escort him. Yuncheng was just a small town on the border. War had occurred frequently in recent years. All the strong laborers had been drafted into the army, leaving only a few old, weak, women and children in the city.
Seeing so many soldiers entering the city, the people were shocked.
"I haven't heard of any fighting happening recently. Why are there so many soldiers here?"
"Yes, we in Yuncheng cannot rely on each other. Even if we fight, we will not be able to reach us. What are these soldiers doing?"
The people were so frightened that they all came out of their homes and went to the streets to inquire about the news.
The princess's natal family had all died long ago, and the original house had been occupied. However, there were still people from the Yu clan, so Guo Zhao went to find her clan members and send her to be buried in the ancestral grave.
Everyone in the Yu family thought that Yuxian was dead. Who would have thought that she would become the princess of Xixia, and her son would be Tuoba Mingge, the fifth prince of Xixia who had been at war with Dayan.
This made the tribesmen both happy and hateful. They were happy that she had been alive for so many years, but they hated that it was precisely because of Tuoba Mingge's bellicosity that the Yan border had been in chaos for ten years, and the people were living in dire straits.
In every family, fathers and brothers died on the battlefield.
When they heard that Yuxian’s bones wanted to be buried in the Yu family’s ancestral grave, many people disagreed.#@$&
"Yu Xian is a sinner of the Yu family. If she wants to enter the ancestral grave, she has to step over the old man's body!"
The person who spoke was Yuxian's second uncle. His youngest son died on the battlefield. In the following years, several other sons also died. The second uncle's white-haired man gave away his black-haired man. He hated Xixia the most in his life.
.
In his eyes, Yuxian was a traitor who committed herself to the enemy, not to mention that she gave birth to a cruel son. If Guo Zhao hadn't been here, his second uncle would have had Yuxian's ashes thrown away.
"I don't agree either! Our Yu family doesn't have such a daughter!"
More and more people stood up to oppose, and Guo Zhao Lengsu had a look of confusion on his face. He never expected that the people of the Yu family would react so strongly.%&(&
They didn't know Yuxian's difficulties. She had been tortured by longing for so many years and had no feelings for the King of Xixia. The accusations from her tribe were too heavy for her.
Just as Guo Zhao was about to explain to the Yu family members, he heard a sad voice coming from outside the door.
"The Yu family doesn't want it, but my Qin family wants it!"
"Qin Li!"
"Uncle Li..."
The man is dressed as a Confucian scholar, but he is in his early forties, his hair has turned gray, and his face looks weathered, but his youthful charm can be seen in his brows and eyes.
As soon as Qin Li entered the door, everyone in the Yu family stood up to greet him.
"Why are you here?"
Several tribesmen who had previously opposed allowing Yuxian to enter the ancestral tomb all had unnatural expressions on their faces.
Qin Li looked at the white jade urn on the table with sad eyes, and walked slowly over. He gently stroked the box as if it were a rare treasure.
"Xian'er, Ali is here to take you home."
They were childhood sweethearts who were in love and had promised to grow old together since they were young. However, they were torn apart by life. The Yu family members did not understand Yuxian's pain and helplessness, but Qin Li felt the same.
He had waited for her for half his life, only waiting for the ashes of his beloved woman.
Qin Li was in great mourning, but even if it was her ashes, he had received her, and they could finally be together.
Only then did Guo Zhao know the identity of the man in front of him. This was the man who was feared by the King of Xixia and the fiancé of Princess Jade.
He handed the urn to Qin Li, believing that Qin Li would take care of her.
"Qin Li thanks General Guo and Princess Rongning for your kindness and kindness in allowing Xian'er and I to get together. If Princess Rongning gives you orders in the future, Qin Li will be there to help you!"
He knelt on the ground holding the ashes and kowtowed three times in the direction of the capital.
The tribesmen who originally had objections to Yuxian swallowed their dissatisfaction when they saw his appearance.
Forget it, even the emperor and Princess Rongning don't blame Yuxian. They, old men who are already half buried in the earth, still find it hard to do anything for a dead man.
They had watched Qin Li and Yuxian grow up. Qin Li had stayed away from marriage for half his life because of her, and now that they were finally together, why should they be an annoying person and insist on stopping them.
The tribesmen all sighed and left together.
Qin Li also left the Yu family with the urn in his arms, and he was the only one left in the Qin family. Qin Li's home was a lonely thatched house at the foot of Yunshan Mountain.
There is a newly raised grave next to the thatched house, with a tombstone erected on it, declaring the tomb of Qin Li's wife Yuxian.
When they were young, they were not destined to get married. After Yuxian's death, she was buried in their Qin family's ancestral grave in the name of his wife, and he stayed with her for the rest of his life.
When Jiang Miao heard about their relationship, she felt uncomfortable for a long time.
"Damn the King of Xixia, if it weren't for him, how happy would Qin Li and Yu Xian be."
She didn't want to be called Princess Yuxian. In Jiang Miao's heart, she was Qin Li's wife, and they had never been separated.
"Yeah, so he's already reaping the consequences."
The King of Xixia knew everything about Yuncheng, especially the stele carved by Qin Li himself. He was jealous but helpless.
Qin Li has Dayan's support behind him, so he can't destroy the monument even if he wants to.
The king of Xixia turned gray overnight, and the queen felt happy. The reason why Qin Li knew Yuxian was coming back so quickly was because of the letter she reported.
That woman was indeed restless. She had been thinking about her old lover for so many years. But fortunately she was restless and made the King of Xixia suffer all the pain of love. She spent half her life fighting for this man, even though she couldn't get a look from him.
.
But both of them couldn't get what they asked for, which made the queen feel a strange balance in her heart.
Tuoba Mingge also knew about the news that the princess had committed suicide.
His feelings for the princess are very complicated. His mother-in-law has been cold to him since he was a child, unlike other princesses who hold their children in their arms and coax them.
Even though the prince acted recklessly and was a fool, he was sweet-tongued and well-spoken and was loved by the queen, especially when they were young, both of them lived in the palace.
The princess treated him coldly and would not interfere with his life or urge him to do his homework. He had seen the queen chasing the prince, and he had also seen the queen hugging the prince who had fallen down and scratched his skin and talked softly.
of coaxing.
Tuoba Mingge didn't say anything, but he was extremely envious in his heart. He tried to please the princess countless times and wanted her to treat him better.
But the more he tried to please her, the more alienated the princess became from him.
He didn't know the reason before, but now it's clear.
It turned out that his father had brought his mother and concubine into the palace by force. They were probably enemies in her heart.
