Xiao Chengyi stood in the dark night, looking at the sleeping person on the bed, but his heart ached a little.
In fact, he heard everything Jiang Ru and Yan Yan said that day in Shen Mansion.
It turns out that Yan Yan's ancestor was a member of the Saintess clan in Southern Xinjiang. No wonder her blood can raise colorful Gu Kings. However, the Saintess clan has disappeared in Southern Xinjiang for a hundred years. Now that it has reappeared, how can the Queen of Southern Xinjiang let it pass?
Yan Yan?
But it happened that Xiao Qiyan needed the Gu King to save his life, and the ruthless Gu in his body also needed the Gu King to resolve it.
He knew that Yan Yan wanted to return to southern Xinjiang to steal the Gu King, but she might never come back.
Therefore, he will never let her leave!
Xiao Chengyi crumbled the paper in his hand and threw it into the wastebasket, then lay on the bed and carefully placed Mu Yun'an in his arms.
Perhaps feeling a familiar breath, Mu Yun'an curled up in his arms, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep again.
But Xiao Chengyi couldn't sleep for a long time. He stared at the person lying beside him and felt the pain in his heart.
He closed his eyes and hugged the person in his arms tightly, his thin lips fell behind her ear, leaving only a whisper: "Yan Yan."
...
Prime Minister's Mansion.
Today is the day of Lin Qingshuang's burial. It is just Lin Qingshuang's funeral. There is no big event in the Prime Minister's Mansion and no one comes to pay homage. This is Lin Mingfu's intention.
After all, his daughter's innocence was ruined and her death was not honorable.
But because of Lin Qingshuang's death, there were fewer rumors in the capital. Even the courtiers who laughed at Lin Mingfu and his lack of dealing with him kept their mouths shut.
There was a feeling of mourning all over the prime minister's house.
The housekeeper came to Lin Mingfu's yard and announced outside the door: "Master, the auspicious time has come. It's time for the second lady's funeral!"
After a while, the door was opened, and Lin Mingfu walked out, but he seemed to have aged by more than ten years overnight, with white hair growing on his temples.
He walked out of the door tremblingly, and the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
The two of them came to the mourning hall. In the mourning hall were the servants of the mansion kneeling. They all cried hard when they saw Prime Minister Lin coming over.
The coffin containing Lin Qingshuang has not been closed yet.
Lin Mingfu walked over and took a look at his daughter lying inside. She was wearing the most luxurious dress, her eyes were closed, and she looked like she was asleep.
Lin Mingfu looked away with some pain, and said in a hoarse voice: "Cover the coffin!"
Several guards came forward, covered the coffin and were about to drop the nails when they heard footsteps coming from outside: "Wait a minute."
Lin Mingfu looked up and saw Shen Chi walking over with someone. He asked curiously: "Master Shen, what are you doing?"
Shen Chi bowed and said: "My condolences to the Prime Minister, but according to the laws of Nanyue, after death, this person must be inspected by the Yamen before being buried, so as to avoid any grievances."
The official thought that the officials from the government office had checked it, but later I looked at the records and found out there were none. I asked the prime minister to be accommodating and let the official check the cause of the second lady's death!"
Lin Mingfu's expression changed after hearing this, and he asked scoldingly: "Master Shen, what do you mean? My daughter couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide. Everyone knows this. What's the point of checking it?"
However, Shen Chi was not afraid of his anger and said: "The Prime Minister should know our rules. Checking the cause of death of the deceased is for the sake of the deceased and will not waste too much time!"
Lin Mingfu narrowed his eyes: "My daughter has already closed the coffin. Is Mr. Shen determined to disturb her and make her uneasy?"
Shen Chi lowered his head: "Please forgive me, Prime Minister!"
