Chapter 23: The emperor is dead!

Seeing that Mu Ci's eyes were red, Dugu Lianyun just held her tightly and didn't ask any more questions.

Mu Ci supported Dugu Lianyun as they walked and stopped. Before they reached the ginkgo forest, they smelled the fragrance of osmanthus.

They were almost in sync, and their shoes creaked on the fallen leaves, which made the place extremely peaceful.

It was obviously a journey that was not too long, and it seemed like a lifetime.

In the distance, you can see two maple trees with red leaves in front of them. Behind the maple trees is the real apricot forest.

The golden leaves on the trees and branches are like an ancient and eternal ink painting, quiet and peaceful, as if frozen by the years.

When the autumn wind blows and leaves fall from the branches, it feels like they are spreading the last bit of dazzle in life.

No wonder Dugu Lianyun insisted on taking her here.

How could the ginkgo tree she transplanted compare with the dreamlike and ultimate beauty in front of her?

"So beautiful." She murmured softly.

Dugu Lianyun's eyes were fixed on her face.

No matter how beautiful the scenery of the apricot forest is, how can it compare to her?

It's a pity that he can only accompany her so far.

After that, Mu Ci accompanied Dugu Lianyun to sit on a bamboo chair and watch the scenery. Until Dugu Lianyun said he was tired and wanted to lean on her shoulder.

She didn't dare to move and replied softly to him with the word "ok".

Mu Ci quietly looked at the silent and moving ginkgo forest in front of her, feeling very calm.

There was no excitement or oath between her and Dugu Lianyun. He brought her here just to fulfill his wish.

Now that his wish has been fulfilled, he can probably leave without any regrets.

If there is another life for them, she hopes that Dugu Lianyun will never meet her again...

Li Yu saw that the two people leaning against each other in front of them had maintained the same posture for half an hour, and said in a low voice: "Sir, I don't think something is right when I look at Lord Long Live. Could it be that..."

Dugu Liancheng was waiting impatiently, and when he heard this, he strode forward.

He felt Dugu Lianyun's breath, and it was already...

"Brother Lianyun is asleep. Don't disturb him. Keep your voice down." Mu Ci said softly, with a very calm look on his face.

Dugu Liancheng thought her expression was strange.

Her acting skills have always been good, so isn't it time to cry and express her grief at the loss of her newlywed husband?

Li Yu could only stay away from Xinglin, knelt down on the ground, and raised his voice: "The Emperor has passed away!!"

After that, the abbot brought Dugu Lianyun's will.

Dugu Lianyun did not want to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, but wanted to be buried in the back mountain of Dingshan Temple, facing the apricot grove from afar.

Daxia had no such precedent before. However, this was Dugu Lianyun's last wish, so Dugu Liancheng decided to respect his last wish.

The news of Dugu Lianyun's death quickly spread throughout the country.

It has been seven days since Dugu Lianyun's funeral was completed.

Mu Ci was very calm during this period, as if the person who died was not her husband. She was watching everyone's business like an outsider.

Dugu Liancheng saw all this in his eyes. He felt that this woman's blood was cold. Otherwise, how could she not shed a single tear after Dugu Lianyun passed away?

"After the death of the emperor's brother, don't you want to become a nun and stay with him forever in Dingshan Temple?" Dugu Liancheng deliberately said sarcastically.

Mu Ci glanced at him, confused: "The late emperor passed away and you came to the throne. Why are you aggrieved?"

Speaking of this, she tightened her black hair, and a faint smile appeared on her lips: "The late emperor has already made arrangements for the Ai family. I don't need to worry about the whereabouts of the Ai family."
