"How could this happen?" Xuanyuan Yu clenched his hands into fists and hammered the table hard. The stacked memorials were scattered on the ground with such a hammer.
"Obviously Ah Li was fine when he left? He even told me with a smile that he would be back in as little as two months and as many as three months. How could he be so fine..."
Mu Qing swallowed his saliva and said: "Since the beginning of winter last year, Mr. Hou's health has not been better. On the Lantern Festival, the reason why Mr. Hou was late was because he was unwell. But in order not to worry the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
, Mr. Hou took medicine to hold on. Doctor Qi and the imperial doctors who treated Mr. Hou said that his health was not optimistic. Mr. Hou knew that his time was running out, so he thought about it.
In his last days, he wanted to travel around and see the rivers and mountains of our Dongchen Kingdom. In May, when he was about to return to the imperial city, the Marquis fell down and stayed in Yunyang for more than a month before leaving.
"
Before his death, the Marquis ordered him to cremate the body and bring it back to the imperial city to the emperor.
Xuanyuan Yu slapped the table and asked angrily: "Why didn't you report it earlier? Let me send an imperial doctor to treat him."
If he had been informed earlier and he had sent an imperial doctor to treat A Li, maybe A Li would not have left like this.
Mu Qing swallowed more and said, "Master Hou won't let me."
All the doctors in Yunyang were helpless and asked them to prepare for the funeral. They also told the Marquis to notify His Majesty and ask the palace to send an imperial doctor. But the Marquis refused, saying that he knew his body and sent one.
It would be futile for the imperial doctor to come, and it would make the Queen Mother and the Emperor uneasy.
"If he doesn't let him, don't you know how to send someone secretly to report to me? You are the people I gave to him!" Mu Qing and the others were originally the people he gave to A Li, but they have become people who only listen to A Li's words.
people.
Mu Qing lowered her head and said, "Mu Qing is guilty."
Xuanyuan Yu took a deep breath and raised his head to prevent the tears from flowing out. The matter was now at this point, and there was no point in pursuing anything further.
He walked up to Mu Qing and took the urn with trembling hands. He said in a loud voice: "He is here to die in peace."
People inside and outside the palace fell to their knees.
The news of An Dinghou's death reached the Queen Mother's palace, and the Queen Mother fainted immediately.
The rain was still falling, and Qiao Mu hurried into Qiushi Courtyard holding an oil-paper umbrella.
He ran to the corridor, collected the oil-paper umbrella, and stood it against the wall.
"Knock knock knock..." He raised his hand and looked at the closed door.
"Who is it?" Hui'er opened the door and saw that the person outside was Qiao Mu, so she called out: "Brother Qiao Mu."
"Where's Madam?" Qiao Mu asked.
"It's inside!" He turned sideways and let Qiao Mu into the house.
As soon as Qiao Mu entered the house, he saw his wife sitting on the couch with a book and Qiu Ju sitting next to her making the children's shoes.
Shen Wan had already heard Qiao Mu's voice, and when she saw him coming in, she made fun of him.
"Why are you here even though it's raining so heavily, but you're here to see Qiu Ju?"
Now, everyone in the General's Mansion knows about Qiao Mu and Qiu Ju, and they are all waiting to drink their wedding wine!
"Madam?" Qiu Ju frowned and glared at her. Ever since her relationship with Brother Qiao Mu became an open secret in the general's palace, Madam has always made fun of them.
Shen Wan looked at Qiu Ju and smiled, then turned to Qiao Mu and saw that his face was serious, and she instantly regained her composure.
"What happened?" she asked.
Qiao Mu said: "The news just came out from the palace that Anding Hou passed away."
Shen Wan's brain was shocked. She thought she heard wrongly and asked, "What did you say?"
Qiao Mu said: "Murong Li of Anding Hou passed away, and his ashes have been brought back to the imperial city by his bodyguards."
Shen Wan felt a great pain in her chest, and her eyes instantly turned red. Didn't he wander away? Why did this person suddenly disappear? He was still so young, and had never been in love or married!
For Shen Wan, Murong Li is her friend, her partner, and even more her brother. She likes him, appreciates him, and even feels sorry for him!
"Madam..." Qiu Ju looked at the sad Madam, but didn't know how to comfort her. Madam had always been a good friend in Andinghou, but now that Andinghou was gone, Madam was naturally very sad.
Even she herself felt regretful and sad about the passing of Andinghou.
The next day, everyone in the entire imperial city knew that Anding Hou had passed away. Such a young and talented man passed away suddenly, and the people in the city were extremely sad.
The emperor personally sent officials from the Ministry of Rites to organize the funeral of Marquis Anding. After the mourning hall was set up in Marquis Anding's mansion, Shen Wan immediately went to express his condolences.
Looking at the cold coffin, she couldn't help but feel sad and shed two lines of tears. She just sent Song Heng away a few months ago, and now she had to send him away again. This time travel made her hate separation between life and death even more. .
She wiped her tears, offered him three sticks of incense, and then left the mourning hall.
The sad atmosphere in the Anding residence was too strong, and she would only feel more distressed if she stayed there, so she planned to leave directly.
"Mrs. Song, stay."
Shen Wan stopped and turned around, and saw the haggard-looking shopkeeper Zhao.
"Shopkeeper Zhao."
Shopkeeper Zhao cupped his hands at Shen Wan and said, "Mrs. Song, before his death, Lord Marquis left something to you."
Shen Wan smiled sadly and said, "He actually left me something."
Although she saved his life, he also helped her a lot.
Shopkeeper Zhao took out a small rectangular box from his sleeve, held it in both hands and brought it to Shen Wan.
"What is this?" Shen Wan took it with both hands and opened the box, only to see a piece of yellowed paper inside.
Shopkeeper Zhao said: "This is the deed of the Star Building. The Marquis will leave the Star Building to you." As for other properties and money, the Marquis gave them to the emperor to fill the treasury.
The Star-Zhaing Tower was of great significance to Mr. Hou, so he left it to Mrs. Song. In Mr. Hou's heart, Mrs. Song was very important.
"I can't have it." Shen Wan closed the box and returned it to Shopkeeper Zhao. If it was just a small object that she kept as a thought, she would accept it. The Star-Zhaing Tower was too valuable and she couldn't accept it.
Shopkeeper Zhao put his hands behind his back and said to Shen Wan: "Mrs. Song, just accept it! It is Mr. Hou's last wish that you can accept the Star Building. The eldest princess built the Star Building by herself. It means a lot to the Marquis. He believes that you, madam, can run the Star Building well so that it will always be the first floor of the imperial city and never fall down."
The following words were all made up by him himself, in order to fulfill the Marquis's last wish and let Mrs. Song take over the Zhaixing Tower.
Hearing this, Shen Wan glanced at the box in her hand and stretched her hand back.
Since this was Murong Li's wish, she accepted it and helped him fulfill his wish, so that the Star Reaching Tower would always be the first floor of the imperial city.
"Since this is his wish, I will not let him down."
"Looking for the shopkeeper? Aren't you going to be the shopkeeper of the Star Building?" Shen Wan frowned. Even if she took over the Star Building, he could continue to be the shopkeeper of the Star Building.
Shopkeeper Zhao smiled and said: "I'm old and don't want to work hard anymore. I just want to go back to my hometown and live a leisurely life for a few years."
He had been the shopkeeper of the Star-Zhain Tower just for the sake of the Marquis. Now that the Marquis was gone, he was not only sad, but also the enthusiasm in his heart was gone, and he no longer wanted to work hard.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Shen Wan said nothing more and left Anding Houfu with Qiu Ju.
The next day, the funeral was held in Anding, because they were relatives of the emperor and were buried in the imperial mausoleum in the eastern suburbs.
Because An Dinghou had an excellent reputation among the people, the people came out of their homes and stood on both sides of the street to see him off.
Daniel and Yinghua stood among the grieving crowd, looking at the endless funeral procession.
This was the first time Yinghua saw such a big battle, and she was shocked.
"Brother Daniu, this Marquis must be a good man, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people coming to see him off! I heard he was only twenty years old!" It's a pity that such a young man is gone. She heard this yesterday The waiter at the inn said, what kind of prince is this? He is also a great talent!
Daniel looked at the funeral procession without saying a word, Anding Hou? He felt so familiar! However, this Anding Hou was so famous. If he was from the imperial city, he would naturally feel familiar. This Marquis went there at such a young age. He also felt a little sad in his heart.
