The palace envoy rushed to Hot Spring Village to convey the emperor's will.
During the Ghost Festival, there will be a prayer ceremony in the palace, and the priest will be summoned back to Beijing to preside over it.
At the same time, both the Gu family and the Mu family have to worship their ancestors.
Mu Yunhan packed his luggage and happily followed Gu Fenglin back to the capital.
After being away from home for more than ten days, I was tired of many chores.
After she finished tidying up the housework and went to the shop again, the Hungry Ghost Festival had arrived.
The palace prayer ceremony is held on the 14th day of the year.
For ordinary people, it is at the age of fifteen.
On the fourteenth day, Gu Fenglin got up early in the morning.
He didn't let Mu Yunhan get enough sleep as usual, but pushed her to wake up: "I have a few words to tell you."
Mu Yunhan was dreaming that Xuan Jin broke into the dungeon, ate Gu Yilan's mouse, and turned into a black cat that was as fast as lightning and extremely ferocious.
She was very anxious, but she didn't have any good ideas. Gu Fenglin woke her up and she was satisfied.
After she woke up, she pushed away the quilt and got out of bed, ready to help Gu Fenglin get dressed.
Gu Fenglin asked Jinxiu and others to retreat, and said in a low voice: "Listen, today is a very important day, a lot of things will happen in the palace...
Later, the Queen Mother will send someone to take you into the palace. You pretend to know nothing, but you must keep these few words of mine in mind..."
He said a few important words concisely and concisely, grabbed her shoulders and looked into her eyes: "Do you remember what I just said?"
Mu Yunhan licked his lips nervously: "Remember."
Even in this life, I have gone through quite a few major events, and I have passed by life and death several times.
However, this was the first time for me to encounter such a big event as the emperor's death.
If you are not careful, your head will be lost, your entire clan will be wiped out, and your country will even fall apart.
"Don't be afraid." Seeing the fear in her eyes, Gu Fenglin gently rubbed the top of her hair, hugged her tightly, and kissed her lips.
Tossing and turning, tenderness and lingering are the most beautiful feelings in the world.
Mu Yunhan suddenly felt reluctant to let go. She held on to his priest's robe tightly, not wanting to let him go: "Alin, I can't let you go."
She looked up at him with tears in her eyes.
She could sense that although he talked to her a lot.
But what is really important, perhaps the core thing, is how the emperor will die and by whose hands he will die.
What he wanted to do with this incident, he didn't tell her.
And she saw determination in his eyes.
That was the determination to let the emperor die no matter what.
"The Queen Mother has been forcing you to avoid this matter. If he dies, she will not let you go."
Gu Fenglin held her face, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his calloused fingertips, raised the corners of his lips, and smiled.
"There are things a real man does and things he doesn't do. If I'm no longer here, you have to promise me to live a good life. If someone treats you sincerely, you will marry again."
Mu Yunhan couldn't help crying: "What are you talking about?"
She is not a tearful person, and it is simply difficult to watch her cry.
Maybe it was because she was so happy after her marriage that she turned into a little woman who loves to cry.
"Idiot, I'm just teasing you! Just wait, I will definitely come back alive!"
Gu Fenglin chuckled, twisted her hair into a chicken coop, and said: "It's almost dawn, hurry up and take care of the housework, I'm going!"
He waved his sleeves and walked out gracefully, his tall and thin back looking particularly tall and straight under the light.
