He snorted and said: "Her Majesty the Queen is no match for you, are you still afraid of a mere princess?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "It's better to have many friends than enemies, isn't it?"
Chu Liancheng was speechless. It would be strange for him to believe his lies.
This man might be thinking of plotting against him!
Three days later.
News of the death of the emperor's husband spread in southern Xinjiang. The queen was so sad because of her husband's death that she ordered to stay away from court for seven days and the whole country mourned.
At this time, there was a small town dozens of miles away from Wujing.
Shen Yunxi came out of the pawn shop in disgrace, holding a few taels of silver in his hand and said: "This pawn shop owner really doesn't know what to buy. My jade pendant is a priceless treasure in Beichen, but this pawn shop owner just gave me this little The money was sent away."
No wonder Wu Xuanye felt guilty and said, "It's all my fault that I'm useless, and I want to make you pawn your cherished jade pendant."
Shen Yunxi said: "Those are all external possessions. Money is what can save lives right now."
They finally made it out of the mountain, but they lost everything because of the travel expenses. If they wanted to go on, they would need money.
Fortunately, she also had some jewelry with her. The hairpin couldn't be pawned for much money, but she had a jade pendant that she had worn since she was a child.
It was a piece of jade that her father got from who knows where. It was so precious that he carved a jade pendant for her with his own hands.
Although she was reluctant to let go, she had no other choice at the moment.
Wu Xuanye asked: "Can the jade pendant be redeemed?"
Shen Yunxi said: "Okay, this is a pawn. I will send the pawn ticket to the prince brother, and he will redeem it for me when he comes back. Don't worry."
She put away the pawn tickets, then took Wu Xuanye's arm and said, "There is a bun seller there, let's go buy buns and eat them."
The two of them walked towards the place selling steamed buns.
I heard a burst of noise from the street. Many people crowded on the street and didn't know what they were looking at?
Shen Yunxi said curiously: "Let's go over and have a look."
They squeezed into the crowd and discovered that it was a new notice posted by the government.
The emperor's husband has passed away, and there is a new mourning in southern Xinjiang. The common people are all paying tribute. From now on, no singing, dancing, feasting, or marriage is allowed for three months.
Shen Yunxi was shocked and said: "The emperor is dead?"
Wu Xuanye had never seen the royal husband before, so he asked: "Have you seen him?"
Shen Yunxi nodded: "I met him once. Like the high priest, he was a gentle and elegant man. But why did he die after being so good?"
Someone in the crowd said: "I heard that the emperor's husband committed suicide."
"Ah? Why can't you think about committing suicide?"
The common people began to discuss each other with each other: "What else could it be? A man became His Majesty's royal husband. It sounds nice to call him a royal husband, but in fact he is almost the same as a concubine in the harem.
Our Majesty abandoned the family and ran away with him for him. Later, he became the queen and brought this adulterer into the palace despite the opposition of the officials.
What a grace that is, but it cannot withstand the aging process of time. Men and women are the same, and it is inevitable that their appearance will fade and their love will fade.
It's probably because Her Majesty the Queen was tired of him and he couldn't think about it anymore, so he committed suicide."
"You said that what a grown man should do is not good, but he wants to be a royal husband. It really embarrasses us men."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a snap, and the commoner who had just laughed at the emperor was whipped to the ground, wailing and screaming in pain.
Everyone was shocked and turned around to see a woman and her guards surrounding the place.
The woman held the whip in her hand, glanced at the people around her coldly and said: "Whoever dares to speak ill of the emperor again or be disrespectful to the emperor, this will be the consequences!"
