After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

The coffin-carrying team slowly entered Liyang City. Fu Ping and Ye Zhicheng led the court officials to greet them at the city gate, while Fu Guiyun led the eunuchs and female relatives to greet them at the palace gate.

At Changchun Palace, she instructed Madam Jiang and Madam Kong, and ordered Cheng Kui to go to her mother-in-law's side and stay there in person, telling her not to let anyone suddenly inform her of the bad news before she made up her mind.

From afar, they watched the black coffin being escorted by soldiers into the city through the city gate. All the people, dressed in mourning, knelt down in silence.

Fu Guiyun also led the eunuchs and female relatives to kneel down.

Lu Bing, who was walking in the front, took out the will and read it in a deep voice: "The late emperor has ordered."

"I have inherited the throne and respect the Heaven and follow the example of my ancestors. Unfortunately, Heaven has not given me longevity. My virtue is not good enough for the people and I have not made any lasting achievements. Today, the world is not yet settled and the foreign races have not been eliminated. I pity the suffering of the people and my aspirations have not been fulfilled. I am not without some regrets. I am writing this edict to warn future rulers."

"From the day of my death, the whole country shall observe austerity for three days. No lavish funerals shall be held. The army shall not be abolished or the people's livelihood be affected because of my death. After the three days, the army shall remain in office and the people shall return to their duties. The king shall not be abandoned in politics and the people shall not be abandoned in life. I only hope that everyone will be united and pray for the country's prosperity to improve."

Everyone was crying, and they were all grateful for Lu Chen's hard work in protecting the country and the people over the years, and for his dedication to protecting the safety of the people in Jiangzuo.

Fu Guiyun couldn't help crying either.

Although my father-in-law has not been at home much in the past two years since I married into the Lu family, his care for me is enough to be unforgettable.

He promoted his uncle to gain a firm foothold in the Lu family, and when he was in danger, the first thing he considered was to settle her down and plan for her future.

She clutched her handkerchief with deep emotion and wiped away the tears from her eyes. Suddenly, she saw Lu Yan hurried over. He bent down and whispered, "Crown Princess, the late emperor has not yet been buried. Please go and persuade His Royal Highness Prince Zhong."

"Is the father not buried yet?"

Fu Guiyun looked at the dark coffin not far away in surprise and asked sternly, "What's going on?"

"Prince Zhong has kept His Majesty's body in the carriage and accompanied him all the way. Now that he has returned to the palace, he still refuses to hand over His Majesty's body."

Lu Yan frowned and explained bitterly.

Fu Guiyun could probably understand Lu Linzhi's mood. He had been by his parents' side every day for these years, but he could not call them father or mother with a clear conscience.

But he has always been a man who knows the big picture. He must have felt extremely painful when he suddenly took over his father-in-law's body so forcefully.

But no matter what, you can't lose your temper at this critical juncture, as this will only make things more disadvantageous to him.

Giving a look to Ye Zhicheng and her father, she first ordered, "Send His Majesty's coffin back to the palace."

Lu Yan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Reporting to the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince has ordered that Prince Zhong cannot follow the coffin of His Majesty into the palace."

Upon hearing this, Lu Bing came forward and angrily rebuked: "Your Majesty's will ordered Prince Zhong to escort Your Majesty's coffin back to the south, and to supervise the construction of the imperial mausoleum for Your Majesty and protect the dragon vein of Daning. How can it be that Prince Zhong cannot escort the coffin back to the palace?"

He was too lazy to argue with Lu Yan. He simply waved to the soldiers behind him and said, "Send the coffins of Prince Zhong and His Majesty into the palace."

Lu Yan was so angry that he drew his sword and said, "Who dares? His Majesty has just passed away, and you are already disobeying the new emperor?"

Lu Bing also drew his sword immediately: "Lu Yan, stop slandering me."

Ye Zhicheng then stepped forward slowly and said, "Since this is the will of the late emperor, not only us, but also the crown prince should respect it."

After a moment of silence, seeing that the two still refused to give in, Ye Zhicheng's face fell: "Why, are you two going to fight in front of the late emperor's spirit, in front of the Crown Princess and the people of Liyang?"

"The general will not dare."

Lu Bing immediately put away his sword. Seeing this, Lu Yan also reluctantly put away his sword.

Fu Guiyun glanced at Lu Yan coldly. Seeing that the army he brought back was probably quite large and they were guarding Lu Linzhi and the Li Ren Gang tightly, he realized that although Lu Linzhi was brought back to Liyang, the days ahead would certainly be very difficult.

I think Lu Linchu already knew Lu Linzhi's identity, otherwise he wouldn't be so wary of him.

This is really not a wise behavior.

Today's Jiangzuo cannot do without Lu Linzhi.

Without caring about Lu Yan's precautions, she said directly: "Please ask Prince Zhong to escort His Majesty's coffin into the palace."

"Princess."

Lu Yan looked over anxiously and wanted to dissuade him, but Fu Guiyun gave him a fierce look. Lu Yan didn't dare to say anything else and had to order the accompanying troops to retreat and set up camp outside the city.

Fu Guiyun followed the carriage to the vicinity of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The group waited outside the carriage for a long time, but Lu Lin's carriage was never seen.

Fu Guiyun's heart trembled, and he said quickly: "Please, Prince Zhong, bury the late emperor as soon as possible."

With so many people waiting, Qing Su was extremely anxious. However, seeing that he was still sitting there motionless, she had no choice but to get off the carriage and walked up to Fu Guiyun to explain, "Crown Princess, Your Highness..."

"No need to say more, brother and sister."

Fu Guiyun waved at her and continued to shout into the carriage, "The dead cannot be resurrected. No matter how grateful Prince Zhong is for the late emperor's kindness, he should also consider the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects. Please think of the people of the world and the overall situation of Jiangzuo..."

Before she finished speaking, there was a sudden movement in the carriage.

At that moment, Lu Linzhi staggered down from the carriage.

It's only been a few months since I last saw him, but he has become much more depressed, with a hostile look in his eyes, like a completely different person.

Looking at his empty eyes and seeing him walking towards him step by step, Fu Guiyun suddenly felt unsure.

For the first time, I felt that the way he looked at me was unusual, and the meaning was hard to describe.

Seeing that he was approaching him, Fu Guiyun was about to dodge, but he suddenly sneered.

"Thinking about the people of the world?"

"Considering the overall situation of Jiangzuo?"

His eyes were like those of an eagle, staring straight at Fu Guiyun and approaching her little by little.

"What is the common people in the Crown Princess' heart, and what is the overall situation in her heart?"

Ye Zhicheng, the Ye brothers and sisters who came with him, as well as Fu Ping and others were all stunned. It was the first time in their memory that they saw the Fourth Young Master in this state.

"Fourth brother."

Ye Qiong was so frightened that she quickly stepped forward to persuade him: "Don't be rude to the Crown Princess."

Lu Linzhi didn't pay any attention to anyone else and pushed her far away.

Ye Zhan was anxious and angry. He helped Ye Qiong up and cursed, "Lu Linzhi, are you crazy?"

Lu Linzhi continued to force Fu Guiyun back, until he pushed her to the back of the carriage.

Fu Guiyun leaned against the car wall behind him, looking at him with cold eyes. Thinking of the gentle and elegant gentleman he used to be, and comparing him with the person in front of him, he felt inexplicably frightened.

Looking at the woman in front of him who had haunted him for two lifetimes, Lu Linzhi's feeling at this moment was truly indescribable.

He hated himself for not being more selfish and forcing the marriage on her, even if it was just like Qing Su said, just for himself without considering anything else, and if it was for her, what did it matter if it caused chaos in the world.
