Compared to the Moon Chongqing City, which was like a dead city, Lihuo Palace did not see many changes.
The palace people were still busy, but it was slightly deserted.
Especially the Lotus Pond, which used to be the busiest in the past, today no one is seen playing around there.
In the past, there was an atmosphere of freedom and ease even in the palace, but now it is no longer visible at all.
Lihuo Palace seemed to have been moved from the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, it was lifeless and very depressing.
Jiang Huan was so stressed that she felt like she couldn't breathe.
"Third brother, why is there a goatskin hanging in Lihuo Palace? Did the empress of which palace die?" Jiang Huan asked in confusion.
Goat skin is an item that symbolizes death in Jiang State. If someone wears clothes made of goat skin, or a piece of goat skin is hung in front of the house.
But today, along the way to Lihuo Palace, Jiang Huanshao said that he saw about thirty pieces of goatskin.
With such a posture, could it be that some noble concubine has passed away?
The first thing Jiang Huan thought of was Jiang Lu's mother. The third brother was different from other princes. His biological mother was a princess from Kyoto and the sister of the current emperor Chen Yan.
At that time, Jiang and Chen were at odds with each other, and the Jiang State was so aggressive that it almost turned the Chen State upside down. Later, in order to seek peace between the two countries, the Chen State married the princess of the current dynasty to the Chen State, and she became the current noble concubine Chen.
Shi.
Jiang Lu's mother was a very good person, virtuous and virtuous, and a very kind-hearted person who was rarely seen in the Jiang Kingdom.
After she married into Jiang State, she brought Chen State's sericulture technology and textile technology to Jiang State, which brought a lot of blessings to the people of Jiang State.
She is also an existence that the people of Jiang State particularly admire. If she really passed away, it is indeed appropriate for Lihuo Palace to have such a formation.
Jiang Huan secretly glanced at Jiang Lu's face, fearing that she might say the wrong thing and make her third brother sad.
Jiang Lu's eyes darkened. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, the grief still poured out from his eyes.
What kind of grief that must be, just by looking at it, Jiang Huan felt his heart throbbing.
The pain was excruciating, as if it was going to be torn apart.
It turns out that it was not the third brother’s mother who died.
Jiang Huan covered her heart and gasped for air, but the air seemed unable to penetrate her lungs at all. It could only bring the severe cold to her heart, which made her legs weak and straight.
Kneel down on the ground.
Jiang Lu hurriedly knelt down to help her, but Jiang Huan seemed to have tinnitus and could not hear any sound.
Above the main hall of the Lihuo Palace, the spiritual tablet covered by the goatskin hanging is not the third brother's mother-in-law, but her favorite father.
"How could it be possible, how could it be..." Jiang Huan murmured in a low voice. She only felt a mouthful of blood brewing in her chest, and she couldn't swallow it or vomit it out.
On the day he left, my father was obviously in such good health. How could he die in just one month?
"My father contracted a serious disease half a month ago, and no doctor in Lihuo Palace could cure it. The disease keeps getting worse, and my father just passed away yesterday." Jiang Lu's tone was also extremely sad, but now he can only endure it.
In grief, he supported Jiang Huan and comforted him, "My father knew that you were impatient, so he never asked us to go to Chen State to send you a message. Xiao Huan, please don't hurt your body and make your father worried."
Jiang Huan gasped for air. She wanted to cry, but her throat couldn't make any sound.
Big tears rolled down and hit the ground, quickly gathering into a small puddle of water.
Before he left Jiang Country, he clearly checked his father's pulse. His father's pulse was very good. It would not be a problem to live another month, not to mention ten more years.
How could he suddenly become ill and leave so suddenly?
Jiang Huan paused and immediately wiped away her tears. She quickly stood up, held up her skirt and ran towards the inner hall.
If he was really sick, even if the person was dead, the body would still tell Jiang Huan the necessary news.
Jiang Huan didn't believe that his father would leave so suddenly. He had to see it with his own eyes and verify it before he would stop.
Only when Jiang Huan ran into the main hall was she stopped by the guards who did not let her get close to the main coffin.
This was the first time Jiang Huan was stopped in the main hall. Even if she revealed her identity, the guards remained unmoved.
Just when Jiang Huan was about to get angry, he caught sight of the swords of these guards.
Most of Jiang's guards do not wear swords.
The warriors of the Jiang Kingdom are good at using knives, or daggers like Mengyu. There are only a few people like Jiang Huan who use swords, unless they are not the guards of the Jiang Kingdom at all.
"Who on earth sent you here!" Jiang Huan roared angrily. She was about to draw her sword, but she saw the beaded curtain in the main hall was slightly lifted, and the person she once admired came slowly, but now he was wearing royal clothes.
, with a crown on his head.
Jiang Zixu has lost the boyishness of the past, and now he carries a royal air and majesty in every gesture, and just one look at him is intimidating.
But Jiang Huan felt so strange. The person in front of him felt so strange.
The elder brother who had watched him grow up and always pretended to be stern and taught him a lesson was now so strange that Jiang Huan couldn't figure out what he was thinking right now.
"Xiao Huan, don't mess around." Jiang Zixu warned in a low voice. His tone was indifferent, and there was no trace of joy at seeing Jiang Huan back. "This is in front of my father's mourning hall. You should be
You need to grow up and look like a princess."
"My father's death was strange. I want to conduct an autopsy!" After Jiang Huan said this, he broke away from the guards' control and stepped forward.
But this time, Jiang Zixu grabbed her arm and she couldn't move at all.
Although the eldest brother in the past was serious and did not dote on him, he was also the person who loved him the most in his heart. But today, it is not difficult for Jiang Huan to feel that Jiang Zixu's anger towards him is real.
He... hates himself?
Jiang Huan took a step back in surprise, staggering slightly and falling back.
Before Jiang Lu could help her, Chen Ruyi quietly pressed against her back.
Feeling Chen Ruyi's silent comfort, Jiang Huan calmed down and said seriously, "Brother Wang, why are you stopping me? I am the most outstanding doctor in the Jiang Kingdom. I only need to open an autopsy and conduct an autopsy to find out what my father's father is."
What disease did the king die of? Doesn’t Brother Wang want to know what disease caused his father to die?"
Jiang Huan was almost asking, but Jiang Zixu remained unmoved. He just slowly raised his hand, and the guards immediately grabbed her arms and trapped her, "Come here, take the fifth princess back to the palace.
