Chapter 49 Leaving Beijing

Wei watched Shen Yuluo fall from the building, so that the three souls disappeared. He didn't dare to look by the window for fear of seeing the blood from Shen Yuluo's head. I don't know how long it took before I summoned up my courage, rubbed the window frame step by step, and stretched out my head to look out.

Out of the window, the ground was clean and there was nothing. Shen Yuluo, a big living person, disappeared like this!

"Ghost!" Wei Li shouted and ran out of the room, and didn't care to look for Shen Yuluo. Poor Qinglan doesn't know where she was taken away by those dog legs. However, in a short time, a pair of jade-like masters and servants evaporated in such a double room.

For the time being, Shen Xuanji fainted several times after Weifu knew about this, but said that the empress dowager in the "Shou'an Hall" of the imperial city also ushered in the last moment of her life in this particularly cold winter.

After all, the emperor received the report from the palace people. Regardless of the separation of the disease, he came to the Empress Dowager's bed.

While he jumped in front of the empress dowager, Princess Li turned around and stared at the palace man who came to report the news. The palace man was so scared that his knees softened and knelt down. "Your concubine, your concubine, I know I'm wrong. Please beg your kindness!"

Princess Li said kindly, "You are so loyal, why do you need to be kind? Come on, take her down, and I want to reward her a lot!"

The people around Li Guifei had long been with her. They suddenly understood her intention and pulled down the palace man without saying a word.

The palace man still wanted to shout that he had been gagged by the two strong sisters around him.

The Empress Dowager saw that Li Guifei was arrogant, and the emperor was already haggard and sick. Only her spirit seemed abnormally excited, and she pointed to Li Guifei so much that she couldn't speak.

Princess Li stood head and restrained her pride in her eyes. She looked like a dignified, courteous and charming royal concubine.

At this time, the emperor could not notice the lawsuit between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who had been resenting each other all their lives. His heartache and guilt were real. He held the Empress Dowager's arm and cried, "Mother, you can't leave your son!"

At this time, the empress dowager could not say anything, and she also took the emperor's hand with tears. The mother and son had been in a gap for several years, and it was only at this time that they gradually dispelled their resentment.

"Ajiu..." The Empress Dowager spit out two words from her throat.

The emperor's face stiffened slightly and looked back at Li Guifei for help.

Since he put Xue Zhen under house and scolded Shen Xuanji, the two of them have never been in the palace these days.

Li Guifei is a person who hates the empress dowager to death. How can she fulfill her last wish before dying? At present, he also pretended to be in trouble. He looked at the emperor and shook his head gently.

The emperor turned his head and said, "Don't worry, the mother has sent someone to pass it on."

Although the empress dowager was critically ill, her mind was still clear. Seeing that the emperor was lying to her, she had no choice but to smile bitterly.

The emperor felt guilty and took the Empress Dowager's hand and cried bitterly. At this time, his memory jumped out one by one frame, and the horse lamp generally rotated in his mind: from when he was a child, he was weak and did not like his father, and never liked his father. When he was a teenager, his father was seriously ill, and his mother had exhausted his tricks, which made him crown prince and righteously inherited the throne of the throne. He still remembers that the Empress Dowager seemed to have aged overnight. Although she was still beautiful and dignified, her eyes were ashes. Only when she was involved with him would she suddenly burst out.

"Mother, the son is unfilial, I'm sorry!" The old emperor lay in front of the dying empress dowager and cried sincerely.

The Empress Dowager raised her hand laboriously to touch the emperor's temples, and saw that the white hair above his head was also dazzling. A deep sadness surged up in her heart. For a moment, her nose was sore and her throat was choked, and she couldn't breathe in.

The emperor was very anxious when he saw the situation, "Doctor! Where did the imperial doctor go? Why don't you come to treat the Empress Dowager?"

Li Guifei moved gently, and her skirt came up slightly, calmly holding the emperor's hands. "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has passed away."

The emperor looked at the empress dowager in panic and saw that her face turned pale, but she still opened her eyes wide and looked at the noble concubine Li with hatred. Princess Li did not hide at all and looked back at the Empress Dowager.

The outside wind seems to accelerate the passage of the life of the Empress Dowager. Suddenly, the Empress Dowager's body sank, and the light in her eyes slowly extinguished.

The emperor didn't seem to believe his eyes, "Queen Mother! Queen Mother!"

Li Guifei looked at the eyes that still hated her when they were dying, and also cried with the emperor, but there was a strange and cold smile on her beautiful face. ......

The news of the Empress Dowager's death and the emperor's imperial edict arrived at the Nine Kings' Mansion at the same time. He ordered the ninth prince Xue Zhen and the princess to go to the fief of the ninth prince's far away from the ninth prince's funeral.

Although Xue Zhen knew for the first time in his life that he didn't know when he had a fief, his current mood is not enough to support him to talk to who else.

Xue Zhen knelt down with his robe, "My son, take the order..."

Shen Xuanji has been thin and out of shape by the many blows in the past few days. She has never experienced such a difficult period since she married Xue Zhen. She has been cold to everyone these days. Xue Zhen still takes good care of her, and she doesn't get anything in return. But now, looking at Xue Zhen's bamboo blue figure kneeling on the snow, her heart ached.

She walked behind him and dared not put on the black fox cloak she had been holding for him. "Your Majesty, the people in the palace have gone. Get up."

Xue Zhen did not move. Shen Xuanji stretched out his hand to help him and bent down to see that his tears had made the snow in front of him a small nest.

Shen Xuanji felt sad and shed tears, and wiped away his tears without saying a word.

Xue Zhen suddenly raised his head and his eyes were red, "Xunji, grandma died, how could she die?"

Shen Xuanji had nothing to say. Thinking of the tragic death of Chunlu, Shen Yuluo and Qinglan, who were still trapped in prison, he could only save his life by relying on Wei Han and the Qi family to keep taking out some money. He only felt that the grief in his heart was like a wave of water, quietly coming up little by little, as if he was going to drown her to death. There is no room.

When everything was done with the Empress Dowager's funeral ceremony, it was early spring. On the day Xue Zhen and Shen Xuanji left Qiongjiang, it was still cold in spring. Willows were planted outside the city, and the branches were not green. And the mountains in the distance are even more vast, hidden in the spring wind and sand, dark and colorless.

Xue Zhen and Shen Xuanji still served their filial piety for the Empress Dowager. In addition to Huo Qiyue, only Wei Jue and his wife came to see her off.

After Shen Yuluo's incident, Wei Han felt very sorry for Shen Xuanji. Although Shen Xuanji was not angry with his uncle, he also said that he wanted to take Yulang in person. Mrs. Ye and Wei Han naturally agreed, so they asked Wei Jue and his wife to send Yulang in person.

Mr. Yun is Yulang's husband and naturally follows him. Qing Xing saw that he was going to leave, but it was very difficult. She has long been deeply in love with Mr. Yun, but she feels that no one knows the whole Weifu except Mo Han. And Mr. Yun is leaving now. She is reluctant to let her leave Mrs. Ye. Not to say that she is too careless, but to say that Mr. Yun is introverted. Although Qingzhen knows his heart, she is not very sure that he is willing to take him.

When something happens in her heart, she is naturally distracted. A few days before Mr. Yun was about to leave, he was even more disappointed. That night, Mrs. Ye left her in her room. She didn't know what she said to her. She only knew that her eyes were red when she came out, and today she also stood behind Mr. Yun with a burden and a red face. There was nothing strange.

Huo Qiyue saw that Shen Xuanji had not seen him for a few days, but he was so thin that he could not see that he was the bright and beautiful ninth princess. He knew in his heart why she was sad and depressed. He wanted to say something, but he still held back and patted Xue Zhen on the shoulder and said, "Take care of yourself and take good care of the ninth princess."

Xue Zhen looked at him puzzledly because of his doubts. Huo Qiyu touched his nose unnaturally. Xue Zhen and he grew up together and were more affectionate than their own brothers. An almost impossible idea flashed in his mind.

He didn't know what to say, but just looked at Huo Qiyu and asked, "Really?"

Huo Qiyu nodded solemnly, "Hmm."

Xue Zhen was relieved. Although he was still in pain, he knew a good thing and patted him, "Take good care of the princess."

"Do you still have to tell me?" Huo Qiyue raised his eyebrows, and Xue Zhen also smiled. His face was still not very good, but it was not as gloomy as the previous days.

While drinking, Ye Dongyu was holding Shen Xuanji's hand to wipe her tears. Wei Jue patted her hand, "Well, you will be even more sad."

Ye Dongyu ignored him, "The princess was still a little girl when she came. After a good life, she had to leave again."

Shen Xuanji has now taken these lightly, but comforted Ye Dongyu, "There are also benefits outside. I heard that the folk customs of Qiyi are simple. My sister-in-law only thinks that I have gone out to recover from illness. There will always be days when we get together again."

Ye Dongyu is not an unreasonable person. Hearing this, he also nodded, "Yes, it's just that Sai Weng lost his horse."

At this time, Xue Zhen had already got on the horse. Shen Xuanji was deeply blessed with Wei Jue and Ye Dongyu, "Resign the old lady and uncle for me, just say I'm unfilial."

Ye Dongyu quickly picked her up, "Isn't it at home outside? You still need to take good care of yourself, take care of your body, and open branches and leaves for the prince as soon as possible."

Shen Xuanji's face turned red. Fortunately, Wei Jue was clever and had already walked aside. Although she wanted to say that she was not in the mood to consider this matter, she was afraid of hurting Ye Dongyu's good intentions and nodded randomly. Then she got on the car with Yulang, Mr. Yun, Qing, Lan Qing and the servants of the Nine Kings Mansion.

The carriage staggered out, and Wei Jue and Ye Dongyu didn't go back home together until they couldn't even see the last bit of smoke from the horse's hoof.

Yulang originally sat in a car with Shen Xuanji and looked out from the curtain of the window. Xue Zhen was riding on a four-hooved black and snow-white high-headed horse, wearing a silver cloak. Although he was thin, he was still facing the jade tree in the wind.

Yulang's eyes were red, and he held Shen Xuanji's sleeve and begged his sister to get out of the car to ride a horse. Although Shen Xuanji was in a bad mood, he always loved Yulang, so he agreed.

Yulang got out of the car happily and wanted to choose a horse. When he saw Xue Zhen turn over and get off the horse, "Go up, I'll take a car with your sister."

Yulang had long envied this horse Shenjun and was immediately overjoyed. Shen Xuanji has not been very close to Xue Zhen these days. Seeing him get into the carriage, he leaned in a little unnaturally.

Xue Zhen felt a little helpless and sat in the corner of the carriage door without moving. Shen Xuanji couldn't see it, "Your Majesty, let's sit in."

Xue Zhen gently moved over and said, "Xu Ji, I know you are not feeling well."

Shen Xuanji had thousands of words in his heart, and finally sighed softly, "It's also my fault for being capricious, my lord, do you think we will be fine in the future?"
