Chapter 421: Unwavering
Next, because the time for the empress dowager's funeral had arrived, everyone did not dare to delay. At that moment, they ordered the ceremonial officer to open the way. Among the concubines and the female family members of the harem, except for Zichu and Shen Guibin, who were allowed to travel on the shoulder because they were pregnant, the rest of the people all walked with the help of the maid and brave the wind. Snow escorted the Empress Dowager's coffin to the imperial mausoleum more than ten miles away for burial.
The ceremony of this day did not end until dusk. Due to the rules, everyone was tired and hungry. In addition, the weather was cold, and the wind and snow were getting stronger in the afternoon. When she returned to the palace, even Ning Yan began to sneeze, her little face blushed, and her lips were white.
Zichu saw that there was something wrong with this situation. He quickly pulled his daughter over and touched it, but found that Ning Yan had a fever.
This time, a group of palace people in the Magnolia Palace were busy. After the owners of the harem came back today, most of them had colds and fevers and were infected with cold. Therefore, the imperial doctors had already been busy, and even the pharmacy on the Imperial Hospital was piled up with a mountain of prescriptions. When the palace people of Yulan Palace rushed to ask for an imperial doctor, the people over there naturally had to shake their heads and complain, saying that all the imperial doctors on duty had gone to see their masters. The rest of them are also rushing back to the palace now. If they are free for a while, they will definitely go to the Yulan Palace to diagnose the little county's pulse.
After Zichu got the news, he discussed it with Jun Yuchen. Finally, Qiaoyi dared to prescribe a cold prescription for Ninghuan. Fortunately, although Ninghuan suffered some toss in her mother's womb, she had a good physical foundation in the past two years, so by midnight, the fever gradually subsided. Zichu and Jun Yuchen kept guarding the child until they touched her forehead and was not hot, and then they were relieved.
At this time, half of the night, the wind and snow stopped early, and the magnolia palace was as quiet as water. After Zichu settled down, she dragged her already-formed body to stand up. Jun Yuchen supported her. The husband and wife were obviously exhausted, but they were sleepless.
"Let's go out for a walk!"
Looking at Jun Yuchen's worried appearance, Zichu nodded meekly and said, "Tomorrow Muxiu, I will accompany you to your mother's palace to give her incense."
Jun Yuchen nodded, gave a hum, and then said, "In the beginning, now I only have you and the concumen. You must be fine and don't make any more accidents."
Zichu looked at her husband unexpectedly and finally said, "Of course, we will always be by your side."
The stars in the night sky in the distance are as bright as beads, and a thin new moon is clearly hanging in the middle. The cool moonlight sprinkles on the sky and stains the two people swaying under the shadow of the trees.
Zichu's body was covered with a smoky-blue double-layer embroidered palace forging cloak, on which nine branches and vines were woven with silver threads, setting off a circle of light halo against the moonlight, covering her long black and waist hair, as if it were as uncatable clouds.
"At the beginning, in fact, have you ever imagined what it would be like now if we hadn't met at the beginning?"
"If you ask that, you actually don't know how to answer." Zichu slowly turned his head and was facing Jun Yuchen's deep eyes like a pool of water. "Actually, at the beginning, I just hoped that I could get rid of those messy things in the inner courtyard of Songfu as soon as possible and come out to live the life I wanted. But later, when I met you, I knew that there was a person in my life who was worthy of your concern. The joy and sorrow of his words and deeds was actually the greatest happiness.
"At the beginning, I know that if it hadn't been for the many troubles brought to you by my identity, you would have been more comfortable now. Do you really think so?
"Well, many years of husband and wife, is there anything fake?" Zichu closed his eyes slightly, leaned back in his arms, and whispered, "Didn't we say that we will never leave..."
"At the beginning..." Jun Yuchen bent down and kissed gently, infinitely greedy for the slight salty taste, unwilling to waste bit by bit, as if to collect all the preciousness from the bottom of his heart. The woman's body in her arms was as soft as a feather, and she was picked up horizontally with a little force. Dozens of Changming Palace lights shone on the inner hall, surrounded like daylight.
The moonlight outside the window is still as cool as water, the sandalwood pepper mud emits a faint fragrance in the night wind, the hollow embroidered silver thread pattern on the yarn tent flashes brightly, and the red gold tent hook at the head of the bed makes a slight sound in the shaking.
Zichu woke up in the haze. He wanted to get up and call people because of his thirst in his throat. He turned his head and saw that his husband next to him had not known when he had got up. At this moment, he was sitting on the couch, looking at the distance with empty eyes open and confusedly.
This shock was not small. She quickly got up, but was pulled by Jun Yuchen, who had returned to her mind, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Are you thirsty? I'll pour you some tea."
"Yujiu, no, I'd better go by myself..."
Only then did Jun Yuchen notice the surprise in his wife's eyes. He smiled, and there was a trace of unspeakable pain on his handsome face.
"At the beginning, don't be afraid. I'm fine. I just need to sort out my thoughts."
Zichu put his hand around his waist and buried his face in Jun Yuchen's arms. For a long time, he said quietly, "Yujiu, are you very bitter in your heart? If you feel uncomfortable, you can cry."
"Yes, I feel very bitter in my heart. At the beginning, after all, the person who went there... She is the biological mother who gave birth to me and raised me!"
Jun Yuchen said, and the tears at the corners of his eyes finally fell. He stroked Zichu's green silk, and the husband and wife hugged each other. After a long time, they choked and said, "However, I must track down the murderer behind the scenes for my mother, otherwise, I swear not to be a person!"
Zichu remembered the indescribable Long Yinpei again. She hesitated for a while before she looked up and asked, "Yujiu, can you tell me how you plan to deal with this matter? You..."
She actually wants to ask, do you really believe in Junyu Suo, the elder brother? After all, he has been murderous to you before.
But she didn't ask this, because she knew that for Jun Yuchen today, all words might hurt his already very tired and ** heart. After all, it is the pain of losing his mother. For him who has always been affectionate and filial, I'm afraid he won't be relieved so soon. Moreover, the Empress Dowager Nalan still died in his murder. No matter who the murderer was behind the scenes, it was enough to make Jun Yuchen, who had always been respected, unable to sleep and eat, and even burned all five.
Sure enough, when he heard his wife's question, Jun Yuchen also seemed to understand his original intention. Staring at her, he hesitated a little. After a long time, he whispered, "Zichu, do you believe me or not?"
"Yujiu, what did you say? If I don't even believe yours, who else can I believe?
Zichu did not hesitate to look at him strangely and didn't understand why he suddenly asked.
"If you believe me, Zichu, don't worry about this matter and leave it to me, okay? I know that you have a good relationship with Helian Mansion. Anyway, I won't let your cousin have an accident. However, I also have my own calculation. For the time being, I don't want anyone to interfere in this matter. I'm waiting for the right opportunity. But I promise you that as long as the people in Helian Mansion are not the murderers, they will be fine!"
Jun Yuchen hesitated for a long time and said calmly.
Although he really wants to hide this matter, he will definitely be able to guess some reasons with Zichu's cleverness and understanding of him in the future.
After all, Helian Mansion is a relative that Zichu values. He doesn't want to have a crack with Zichu because of this. If this happens, the gains will outweigh the losses.
Staring into Jun Yuchen's eyes, for a long time, Zichu nodded and said, "Okay."
Jun Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yujiu..." Zichu stopped his neck with some embarrassment and said softly, "I know that you have been very busy and tired to guard your mother's filial piety during this period. You have to deal with Song Shi'an's calculations and take care of me. As a result, I still give you a problem..."
She could feel that Yujiu didn't want to pay attention to this matter, because for him, tracing the real murderer was the most important thing. Helian's house is a relative of his wife's family, but now that Helian's uncle is dead, and his eldest cousin is involved in the murder case, which is uncertain. If it hadn't been for her relationship with her cousin, Jun Yuchen would certainly not have been willing to intervene. Moreover, the eldest cousin's guilt is now conclusive, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice can almost come to a conclusion.
It's not so easy to reverse this matter, which she knows very well.
Jun Yuchen smiled fondly at his wife: "I like you to give me problems, otherwise, how can I show the importance of my husband?"
Although the murderer behind the scenes has nothing to do for the time being, whether he or Zichu, or Junyu, can't really be relieved, and he still needs to beware of their outmoments all the time.
This kind of nervous life could have been avoided at the beginning, but it was he who involved her, so he always tried his best to deal with more troubles for Zichu, so that she could worry less and make her more comfortable...
"So, I should give you some problems every day in the future?" Song Zichu said with a blink of his eyes.
Jun Yuchen smiled gently: "You are welcome at any time..."
With that, he kissed Zichu gently on the forehead and muttered in a low voice, "Zichu, I know that this palace is not a good place. There are too many intrigues. You don't like it, and I don't like it either. However, don't worry, all this is coming to an end. When I find out the truth and comfort my mother, we can go out of the palace and go back to Yunzhou, our own mansion, and then we can go around the fiefdom. At that time, I will be very kind to you, give you everything you want, and make you the envy of all women in the world!"
This promise, that is, when they first fell in love, he promised a bright future for Zichu.
But later, because Jun Yusul grabbed love from it, the Empress Dowager Nalan did not agree with their marriage. Zichu was forced to enter the East Palace. Later, there were many changes in the middle, and all the promises became a mirror.
It was not until two years ago that they held a wedding in the capital, and their son became his princess. They only lived a beautiful life for two years in the Yunzhou royal palace.
