The Crown Princess of Huainan let out a heart-rending scream: "Axuan! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me, open your eyes quickly! Open your eyes quickly and look at me!"
While shouting, he rushed forward.
Sheng Xuan's face was pale and his body was cold and stiff. The thick smell of blood rushed towards him.
Mu Ziqi's mind went blank as if it had been struck by lightning. Only the cold face that seemed familiar yet unfamiliar remained in his eyes.
Sheng Xuan, her husband-in-law, died like this.
Why?
What mistake did Shengxuan make?
He was fine when he entered the palace, but why did he suddenly turn into a cold corpse and be carried back to the palace?
She opened her mouth, her throat was dry and hoarse, and she couldn't squeeze out a single word.
The Crown Princess of Huainan was still crying when suddenly the world started spinning, her vision went dark, and she fell heavily to the ground.
"The Crown Princess!" Several maids rushed over and helped the Crown Princess of Huainan up with all their hands.
The Crown Prince of Huainan had a dull face and waved his hand, asking someone to carry the Crown Prince Huainan's concubine back to the inner room. He also called the guards from the palace to carry the unconscious Prince Huainan into the palace.
In the end, only Shengxuan's corpse was left.
Prince Huainan glanced at it, and his eyes were severely stabbed. An indescribable pain instantly hit his heart. Tears welled up in his eyes.
His son was so young, so smart, and had a great future. Why did he suddenly disappear?
"Come here," Prince Huainan wiped his tears hard and said in a hoarse voice, "carry the body into the palace and bury it tonight."
Sheng Xuan made a big mistake and was ordered to be killed by Emperor Jianwen. Such a dishonorable death method naturally cannot have a mourning hall. Furthermore, Sheng Xuan has no heirs. He died at such a young age, so he died young. There is no reason for Sheng Xuan.
Qualifications for burial. Can only be buried as quickly as possible.
Mu Ziqi is like a wooden stake, standing withered for a long time.
Sheng Xuan's body was carried into the Huainan Palace, and all the servants entered the palace. Only Mu Ziqi still stood there, motionless.
The maid on the side saw it, her nose felt sore, and tears burst out of her eyes.
The poor young lady was already unfortunate enough to marry into the Huainan Prince's Palace. Now, she encountered something even more unfortunate... The young lady became a widow at such a young age. What should I do in the future?
"Miss," the maid advised with red eyes, "Let's go to the mansion first!"
Mu Ziqi acted as if he hadn't heard anything and still stood there without moving.
Seeing this, the maid felt anxious and distressed, so she stepped forward to hold Mu Ziqi's arm.
At this time, Mu Ziqi finally had some reaction. He opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. Then, his body swayed and he fell softly.
…
"What? Sheng Xuan was killed by the emperor's order?"
From inside the Lu Mansion, Lin Weiwei's shocked voice came: "Brother Lu! Are you kidding me?"
Although the Huainan Prince's Palace has declined, it is still a serious royal family. Sheng Xuan is the eldest grandson of the Huainan Prince and a loyal follower of the fourth prince.
Why was he suddenly killed with a stick?
Lu Chi, who was standing next to Lin Weiwei, his gentle and handsome face seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, revealing sour pain: "How could I talk nonsense about such a big matter? I heard what my grandfather said."
The grandfather Lu Chi mentioned was none other than Mr. Lu Ge, the chief minister of the dynasty.
The news coming from Mr. Lu Ge's mouth is certainly not false.
Lin Weiwei was so shocked that she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Lu Chi and Sheng Xuan have been classmates for many years, and they are both known as the Four Young Masters of Song and Bamboo. Although they have become a lot indifferent in the past two years, they are much closer than others.
When he suddenly heard the news of Sheng Xuan's death, Lu Chi was not only shocked, but also grieved. His eyes were already red at this time.
Lin Weiwei came to his senses faster than Lu Chi and whispered: "It seems that the assassination of the seventh prince on his wedding day must have been done by Sheng Xuan."
Lu Chi took a deep breath and nodded: "Exactly. Otherwise, the emperor would not have unleashed the wrath of thunder!"
Assassinating the prince is a crime that will annihilate three clans.
Emperor Jianwen only ordered one person, Sheng Xuan, to be killed with a stick, and spared Prince Huainan and his son, which was considered extremely merciful. Even though Lu Chi and Sheng Xuan had a good relationship, Emperor Jianwen could not be accused of acting unfairly.
Lin Weiwei felt a little distressed when she saw Lu Chi was in a gloomy mood, and whispered: "While it's still dark, you should go to the Huainan Prince's Mansion first!"
After all, this meeting with classmates should be considered as the last step to send off the show.
Lu Chi hummed.
…
Half an hour later, Lu arrived at the Huainan Palace late.
Also coming with Lu Chi was Li Mo.
Li Mo also heard about this from Mr. Li Ge. He was so horrified that he immediately went to the Lu Mansion to find Lu Chi. The two of them had no time to sigh and sighed, and immediately set off for the Huainan Prince's Mansion.
It was almost dusk.
The main entrance of Huainan Prince's Mansion has long been closed. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the majestic Huainan Prince's Mansion shows the desolation of the sunset.
Lu Chi and Li Mo looked at each other.
"I'll knock on the door," Lu Chiqiang said, cheering up.
Li Mo nodded, his voice full of bitterness: "Ziyu, I really didn't expect that Sheng Xuanhui would die so suddenly."
Who would have thought?
Lu Chi's heart was heavy and he walked up and knocked on the door. After a long time, the door was opened just a crack. The concierge looked gloomy and apologetic: "I'm sorry, the Huainan Palace is closed today. You two gentlemen, please come back."
!”
Lu Chi immediately said: "Li Mo and I were both close friends of Sheng Xuan during his lifetime. I have no other intention of coming here today. I just want to see him off on his last journey. Please come in and let me know."
Li Mo also took two steps forward: "We must see him one last time before we can feel at ease."
The concierge naturally knew Lu Chi and Li Mo.
Lu Chi was the eldest grandson of the first minister of the dynasty, and Li Mo's grandfather, Mr. Li Ge, was the second auxiliary of the dynasty. In terms of birth, except for the princes, no one could surpass these two.
Regardless of their identities, the two of them were also close friends of Sheng Xuan during his lifetime.
The two men were quite resolute. The concierge hesitated for a moment, then apologized and went to pass the message again.
After waiting for a stick of incense, the door finally opened.
The Prince of Huainan was busy taking care of his biological father, while the Prince of Huainan and Mu Ziqi were both unconscious. No one greeted Lu Chi and Li Mo. The two of them were led by the concierge into the study room where Sheng Xuan lived.
Sheng Xuan's corpse was temporarily placed here.
The light in the study was dim, and Sheng Xuan, who had been cleaned and put on new clothes, was no longer in such a mess. However, after dying for several hours, the body had become completely stiff, and it looked a bit weird.
The friend they were familiar with has become a stranger.
Lu Chi and Li Mo squatted down next to Sheng Xuan's body and stared at it in silence for a moment.
Li Mo suddenly opened his mouth in a low voice: "Did he suffer for someone else?"
Lu Chi was startled, his handsome and gentle face became hardened, and his voice was filled with a rare seriousness: "Li Mo, what are you talking about?"
Li Mo pursed his lips, and his peach blossom eyes, which had always contained a hint of smile, were now full of coldness: "I'm not talking nonsense!"
