Xuan Tianyi said that he was not afraid of being a drag, but he was afraid that after Xiangrong followed him, he would miss Lao Qi even more. If thinking about it made him suffer, how could his body be able to hold on?
The carriage was speeding on the way back to Beijing. Xiangrong leaned against the carriage and closed her eyes to meditate. However, it didn't take long for her to recover. She would cough when the carriage jolted, and her body was so weak that she seemed about to collapse, but she still persisted.
Let the car stop and reach the capital as quickly as possible.
Xuan Tianyi couldn't stand it any longer, and blamed himself: "I shouldn't have told you this news. Look at how sick I am, and I'm still going through such trouble. What if something happens to me, how do you want me to live? Yes.
Do you want me to die with you, or do you want me to curse myself for the rest of my life?"
Xiangrong weakly pushed Xuan Tianyi, "Don't curse me, I won't die yet. When my grandpa was here, I couldn't show filial piety in front of him. Now that he's gone, I can't go back in time to see him off for the last time. So,
I always have to burn incense and kowtow three times in front of his grave, right? If I don't do anything, I'll be sorry for my second sister, and even more sorry for my own conscience."
"That's your second sister's grandfather." Xuan Tianyi was a little angry, "It's not like he's your biological grandfather. As for his own health, are you just going back to burn incense and kowtow? Feng Xiangrong, when can you do that?
Think about yourself?"
Xiangrong frowned and glared at him unhappily: "You can't talk like that! Since ancient times, the first wife has been respected. The second sister is the first daughter. In the past, Mrs. Yao was also the mistress of the Feng family. We children must recognize the mother's family.
My dear. I have called him grandpa since I was a child. Before the Yao family left the capital, he indeed fulfilled his duty as a grandpa. I could feel the favor that I had never received in the Feng family even in the Yao family.
The Yao family treats me just like they treat their second sister. They have never looked down upon or treated me poorly because I am a concubine. Therefore, to me, he is my grandfather, Xuan Tianyi. Don’t say anything like that just now in the future."
While she was talking, she coughed several more times, and there was blood on the veil. An couldn't bear to see it, so she turned away to wipe her tears. She grabbed An's hand and said, "Mother, don't be sad. I'm going to die today."
I feel much better already.”
Anshi was helpless and could do nothing about her daughter. She said to Xiangrong: "Didn't you say that? You have to live a good life for your mother, but why do you have to live like this? Forget it, it's not strange to be sick.
You, you might as well go back to Beijing. Since so many doctors in Yuzhou can't detect your illness, and even the doctors at Baicaotang are helpless, you might as well go back to Beijing. Maybe the doctors over there can do something about it.
If it doesn't work...just stay in Beijing and wait for the second lady, there will definitely be a solution when she comes back."
Xiangrong did not refute, she also wanted to stay in Beijing, but not because of her illness, but because the news in Beijing was more accessible. She just wanted to know whether her sudden and strange illness had anything to do with that person.
.
She closed her eyes slightly and stopped talking. The image of Xuan Tianhua was rolling over and over in her mind. In recent days, whenever she thought of that person, she would be frightened and her heart would feel empty. It was no longer what it used to be, even if they couldn't be together.
, at least knowing where he is still, and then watching and thinking about him from a distance is fulfilling. But now this kind of emptiness is as if that person no longer exists in the world. The world is huge and the whole life is exhausted.
I can no longer find that person.
Xiang Rong is very sad. For her, she no longer expects anything to happen with Xuan Tianhua. As long as that person can live well and let her occasionally hear some news about him, that is already good. But now,
Why does she have such a bad feeling? She has clearly rejected the marriage contract with that person, but she just doesn't want to bring any disaster or danger to him. Isn't this enough?
Bai Furong was also in the carriage, accompanying Xiangrong without saying a word. She didn't have a deep impression of Yao Xian, and there was no direct contact between them. Unlike Feng Xiangrong, she was related to Yao Xian.
Therefore, she was an outsider to the Yao family, so she did not have to rush back to the capital. But Yao Xian was Feng Yuheng's grandfather, and apart from the deep sisterhood between her and Feng Yuheng, she was also raised by Feng Yuheng.
Yes. That was the grace of saving life and rebirth. Now Feng Yuheng is on the battlefield of Zong Sui. As a sister, she should take this life for Feng Yuheng. She knows that Ren Xifeng and Feng Tianyu are in the capital.
I will definitely go to Yao's house to see Yao Xian off for the last time. It's a pity that Xuan Tiange can't come back. The ancient Shu desert is really too far away...
Indeed, the ancient Shu desert was so far away that even though the Yao family had sent letters to Yao Shu in advance, the letters still failed to reach Yao Shu until Yao Xian was about to mourn.
At that time, Yao Shu was a guest in the ancient Shu palace. On this New Year's Eve, he was invited by Xuantian Ge and Brahma Tianli to spend the New Year in the ancient Shu palace. He did not receive letters from the Yao family, but Fan Tianli did.
However, the other side learned the news of Yao Xian's death through his own channels. He told Xuan Tiange the news, and then it was left to Xuan Tiange to worry about what he should tell Yao Shu.
The journey was too long. Even if Yao Shu went back immediately, he would definitely not have time to attend the funeral. This trip would take more than four months no matter how fast he traveled. If he had stayed in Beijing for a longer time, half a year would have passed.
As an official, Yao Shu could be away for half a month, but half a year was a bit too long. But the Yao family valued family ties very much, so if she didn't tell her about this, she might be blamed in the future.
Xuan Tiange struggled with this for two days, and finally told Yao Shu the news. Yao Shu didn't believe it at first! It can be seen that Xuan Tiange was serious about what he said. Thinking about it again, no one can joke about such a thing.
Only then did he realize that his grandfather had really passed away. He was so sad that he fainted.
Xuan Tiange had no choice but to be looked after by someone first, and then hurriedly sent a message to Feiying, the capital of Dashun, so that the sixth prince, Xuan Tianfeng, could be prepared. Once Yao Shu wanted to return to Beijing, someone had to take over in Damo.
, it cannot be empty for half a year, after all, it is the border, even if she is the queen of ancient Shu, this kind of thing cannot be careless.
Brahma Li felt that his wife was making a fuss. Since he married her, it meant that at least he was on good terms with Dashun when he was alive. He would not take advantage of the fact that there was no one on the border to guard Gu Shu.
Enter. But thinking about it again, it is better to be cautious about this matter. If he doesn't move, it doesn't mean that others won't move. If someone with intentions lurks in a corner, Gu Shu will still have to bear the blame. It's not worth it.
.
So he took the initiative to help Xuan Tiange and sent the best flying eagle to deliver the letter to Dashun Kyoto. He also sent the best doctor from ancient Shu to look after Yao Shu. Once he wakes up, he will be sent out of ancient Shu. Whether he stays or comes back depends on it.
Yao Shu himself.
At the same time, Xuan Tianming, who was far away in Jiancheng, also received the news. Yao Xian passed away, and the relative that Feng Yuheng cared about most left this world. Although Feng Yuheng had been mentally prepared, he still felt that if this actual situation was
If the news comes out, it will have a huge impact on Feng Yuheng.
But he didn't say it, but it didn't mean that Feng Yuheng didn't know. It was just that Feng Yuheng didn't say it, so she kept the matter in her heart and selectively forgot about it. She slept and woke up as usual every day as before, and would wake up during the day.
Helping Xuan Tianming train troops, he would teach the skills of marksmanship over and over again to the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion led by He Gan, and would also go into the space every day to test Xuan Tianhua. He would not mention Yao Xian anymore.
Since that day when Xuan Tianming carried her back after crying bitterly on the street, she seemed to have turned the page and never mentioned it again.
However, just as Concubine Yun said to Emperor Tianwu, some things will not happen if you don't admit them, and some people will not exist if you want to forget them. Yao Xian's death still brought great sorrow to Feng Yuheng.
After such a big blow, Xuan Tianming would often be woken up by her crying at night, but when he woke up, Feng Yuheng was still asleep. That kind of crying was natural and there was no need to do it deliberately. Even in his dreams, he was still crying.
of.
He felt distressed and no longer let her go to the camp, and no longer let her numb himself with intensive busyness. He took her shopping, resting for a while when she was tired, and eating a bowl of wontons at a street stall when she was hungry. Feng Yuheng
Said: "When we were in Qianzhou, we also ate on the street like ordinary people."
Xuan Tianming nodded, "If you like it, we can go there again in the future."
"Where to go?" she asked, "Qianzhou? Yes! I am going to Qianzhou. I have to send Feng Zhaolian's ashes back. By the way, I also have to take Wu Lisheng with me. She is not very smart.
Clearly, we didn’t have much interaction with Feng Zhaolian, but we fell in love at first sight, and then imagined that I was Princess Lian. The fantasy became true when we fantasized too much, and she actually followed us from the northern border to the capital. Now she lives in Lian Mansion, I
I still don’t know how to tell her about Feng Zhaolian’s death.”
She became worried about this matter, and Xuan Tianming felt very bitter in his heart. He just said, girl, girl, you don’t know how to say this, so why don’t I? He stretched out his hand, rubbed her hair, and finally said:
: "Don't be afraid, no matter who is gone, you will still have me."
The Yao Mansion held the funeral for nine days, and in the early morning of the ninth day, the spirit was carried out of the capital and went to the Yao family's ancestral grave.
The Yao family is a prosperous family in Beijing, and their ancestors have grown up on this land for generations. The ancestors chose their ancestral graves in a Feng Shui mountain range 30 miles away from the suburbs of Beijing, praying that the Feng Shui treasure land would bless their descendants to live a long life without worries.
On the day of the funeral, Concubine Yun came as promised. She was still dressed in mourning clothes, with white flowers on her head, and was dressed just like the children of the Yao family.
In addition to her, all the princes in Beijing also came, bringing their concubines to see Yao Xian off. There were also countless people who spontaneously formed a funeral procession on both sides of the street, accompanied by sobbing
Crying all the way from Beijing to outside Beijing.
Concubine Yun walked with the children of the Yao family, wearing a heavy filial piety, which looked extremely awkward. Everyone knew that the Yao family had no daughters, and their only daughter Yao Qianrou had died many years ago, but Concubine Yun clearly stood for her daughter today.
This concubine, who had always been the most special concubine, had refused to see the emperor's concubine for more than 20 years. Why did Yao Xian leave the palace and be buried with full filial piety because of Yao Xian?
As the saying goes, people's words can be scary, but guess what, some of them are not pleasant to listen to...
