Concubine Dong Shu came here to act, but the eldest princess Xue Lingjun came under the emperor's order to appease the Dakang delegation. As for Sun Weiyuan, the Minister of Rites, he came here to deal with all the aftermath matters, although it is too late to make up for the mistakes now.
But it’s better to do it late than not at all.∽↗
Concubine Dong Shu met Sun Weiyuan and Hu Xiaotian, said a few apologetic words, and then Concubine Dong Shu went to the inner garden to see her son.
Sun Weiyuan brought many people over to take charge of arranging Princess Anping's funeral arrangements.
After everyone left, the eldest princess Xue Lingjun's eyes fell on Hu Xiaotian's sad face. She sighed softly and said: "Brother Xiaotian, I came here this time to bring your Majesty's oral instructions. Your Majesty asked me to take your place."
He apologized to the emperor, saying that what happened to Princess Anping was not what Dayong wanted, and we don’t want this to happen. Your Majesty, please rest assured that Dayong will definitely find the murderer in the shortest possible time and severely punish all those involved in this matter.
loan."
Hu Xiaotian said calmly: "The princess is already dead. Even if we kill everyone involved in the case, my princess will not be resurrected."
The eldest princess Xue Lingjun bit her lips and said: "Brother Xiaotian, I can understand your mood at the moment. If you have any ideas or requirements, just tell me clearly. As long as I can do it, I will do my best." In fact, her
The emperor's brother Xue Shengkang also had the same intention. He was going to make some compensation to the Dakang mission in this matter, and he also needed to give a specific explanation to Dakang. Although Xue Shengkang had long had the ambition to annex Dakang, he did not take any action.
Before, they had to do some things to save face. They didn't want to lose their etiquette in front of the people of the world.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I just want to return to Dakang as soon as possible with the princess's remains, so that her soul can return to her hometown. This is the only thing I can do now."
Xue Lingjun said: "Brother Xiaotian, we are deeply sorry for what happened to the princess. In our hearts, we regard the princess as our family. If something happened to her, we are as sad as you are. Your Majesty has a request. I hope my brother can wait for a while.
If you leave on the same day, when the princess has passed the first seven days, you can return to Dakang with her remains." According to folk customs, it is believed that after death, the soul of a person will wander around with the first seven days, and return home at midnight on the first seven days.
, family members should burn something in the shape of a ladder at home to let the soul follow this ladder to heaven.
Hu Xiaotian understood that the reason why Xue Lingjun proposed such a stay was probably due to the political needs of Yong Dynasty. They could use this time to make full efforts to save the soul of Princess Anping. On the other hand, it was equivalent to the assassination of Princess Anping in Yongdu.
compensation.
Xue Lingjun saw the hesitation on Hu Xiaotian's expression, and she said softly: "Your Majesty intends to come to Qichen Palace in person on the first seven days to express condolences and send Princess Anping off."
At this point, Hu Xiaotian had no choice but to refuse. If Emperor Yong was willing to come in person, it would be a great honor to Dakang. Although Princess Anping was the princess of Dakang, her life was of no importance to Dakang.
He would turn against Dayong because of the assassination of Princess Anping. Given the current situation of Dakang, he lacks such confidence. Hu Xiaotian can conclude that Dayong will definitely make grand arrangements for Princess Anping's death in these seven days to give Dakang face.
, if you refuse, you will be making your own decisions. It seems that it is impossible to leave Yongdu immediately.
Thinking of this, Hu Xiaotian said to Xue Lingjun: "Thanks to the emperor for loving the princess so much, Xiaotian can only accept it now."
Xue Lingjun saw that he finally agreed, with a look of relief on his face: "Brother Xiaotian can take advantage of these few days to have a good rest."
Hu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said: "The princess's body is not cold yet, how dare Xiaotian think about it." He whispered: "Sister Jun, Xiaotian has an unkind invitation."
Xue Lingjun said: "That's what you say."
Hu Xiaotian meant to cremate Princess Anping's body on the spot. He originally wanted to take Princess Anping's body back to Dakang. But now it has been smashed into meat paste. He can't rush back all the way with a bag of minced meat.
Xue Lingjun said: "Actually, that's what I mean too. Don't worry, I will arrange this matter."
Concubine Dong Shu didn't understand why her son was so sad. She originally thought that her son was just acting in front of others, but when she saw Xue Daoming's appearance, she turned into a haggard face overnight, with red eyes, and the sadness in his eyes was disguised no matter what.
Not coming.
Xue Daoming said: "Mother, my son plans to stay in Qichen Palace for the next few days."
"What?" Concubine Dong Shu could hardly believe her ears.
Xue Daoming said: "Although Mr. Xi did not marry me, after all, we have entered into a marriage contract, and our children should treat each other with the courtesy of a deceased wife."
Concubine Dong Shu looked around and made sure that no one was present. She then reached out and touched his forehead and exclaimed: "Isn't this child of yours a demon?"
Xue Daoming said: "Mother and concubine, my child has made up his mind!"
Concubine Dong Shu lowered her voice and said, "It's just a pretense to block other people's tongues. Why are you bothering yourself?"
Xue Daoming pursed his lips and said: "Mother, my concubine, when I was saying goodbye to Xijun, I suddenly realized that I had met her in my dream..." At this point, his eyes flashed with tears, and he was obviously moved.
truth.
Concubine Dong Shu did not believe such ridiculous things. If she could have known in advance that her son would miss Princess Anping after meeting her, she would not have let him come over to act and see her for the last time. Concubine Dong Shu reminded him: "Daoming, you and
She is a stranger and has never met her before, so it is impossible to have any feelings. The reason why you are so sad now is simply because of your sympathy." Concubine Dong Shu secretly thought that her son might be feeling guilty because of Long Xiyue's death.
In fact, she was the same. Although she opposed the marriage, it was not out of dislike for Long Xiyue. Long Xiyue met such a tragic end, and even Concubine Dong Shu felt a little sad and even a little guilty.
Xue Daoming said: "Mother, if I had come to see her earlier, maybe Xiyue would not have died."
Concubine Dong Shu was really scared. She reached out and grabbed her son's shoulders and said, "Dao Ming, you need to be more awake. Her death has nothing to do with us. Some things are destined by God and we cannot change it."
Xue Daoming shook his head sadly and said, "Concubine, please go back."
Concubine Dong Shu said in a trembling voice: "You child, how can you be so depressed? Have you forgotten your ambition? How can you indulge in the love between children!"
Xue Daoming looked at the cold jade coffin and said: "Mother, please let me calm down. The child will not forget his ambition and responsibility."
Concubine Dong Shu felt anxious and worried when she saw her son's appearance, but she did not dare to say more and could only wait for her son to calm down before persuading him.
Hu Xiaotian finally understood that changes are worse than plans. Although he wanted to leave now, the reality forced him to stay a few more days.
Zhou Mo heard that he would have to stay in Yongdu for seven days before leaving. He also had a headache. What really gave him a headache was the witch Xiyan. The commotion at the Hongshan Guild Hall last night might just be the beginning. It was hard to say that she would not take any measures.
Other actions.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother, I want you and the naughty kid to leave first."
Zhou Mo was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "You also saw what happened last night. I'm worried that something else will happen, so I want my eldest brother to rush to Hailing County first."
Zhou Mo understood what Hu Xiaotian meant. The one who worried about Hu Xiaotian the most was Long Xiyue, but Long Xiyue had already been waiting in Hailing County. Moreover, Zhan Peng and Gao Yuan were by her side to protect her, so there should be no mistakes: "
If we leave, there will be no one around you to take care of you."
Hu Xiaotian smiled calmly and said: "The princess is already dead, who will care about my history of sending away marriages to Da Kang? What's more, Da Yong has continuously lost etiquette and will definitely try his best to compensate. Brother, you don't have to worry about my safety."
Zhou Mo said: "Are you worried that the witch will attack us to coerce you into doing things for her?"
Hu Xiaotian raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky, with a smile on his lips. Although Xiyan did things unscrupulously, she seemed to have never really harmed him. Even if he encountered some dangers last night, it was because he did not listen to her.
Because of her prior advice and the risk of going deep into the palace, Hu Xiaotian whispered: "Don't worry, brother, I have my own way of dealing with her."
Zhou Mo looked at Hu Xiaotian, but his face was full of doubts. He didn't doubt Hu Xiaotian's wisdom. He just doubted Hu Xiaotian's words. Ever since the witch pretended to be Princess Anping and sneaked into the marriage mission, Hu Xiaotian and her must have had countless overt and covert confrontations.
, but it seems that this brother of mine did not take any advantage.
Hu Xiaotian had already guessed what Zhou Mo was thinking from the doubt on his face, and said with a slight smile: "Although my elder brother is better at martial arts than me, I am a little better than you in this aspect. There is no need to distinguish between men and women.
Win or lose, if you are serious about being with a woman, then you will definitely lose."
Zhou Mo blinked his eyes in confusion and said, "A good man doesn't fight with women?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "There's something interesting about it. The more competitive a woman is, the less likely she is to argue with her. She can take advantage of you and make her think she's destined to win over you, but there will always be times when she suffers a big loss."
Zhou Mo's mouth opened wide: "Third brother, you seem to be very good at it."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Well, if you have any emotional troubles in the future, just come to me. If you are not talented, you can also answer your questions and solve my doubts."
Zhou Mo lowered his voice and said, "You and that witch..."
Hu Xiaotian frowned and said: "Gossip, when did you become so nosy? My personal relationship issues are my a**."
Zhou Mo smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't forget, there is someone waiting for you." The person he was talking about was naturally Princess Long Xiyue of Anping. Zhou Mo witnessed with his own eyes Long Xiyue's deep love for Hu Xiaotian.
He already regarded Long Xiyue and Hu Xiaotian as a couple in his heart, and reminded Hu Xiaotian that of course there was another deeper meaning to this incident. He was worried that Hu Xiaotian would be seduced by the demon Xiyan. In his opinion, in terms of character, heart, and appearance, Xiyan had no
She can also be compared with Long Xiyue. What's more, Xiyan is a saint of the Five Immortals Sect. If she really can't get along with Hu Xiaotian, there will be trouble in the future.
