The city gate was opened very early today, which was unusual. A team of soldiers lined up neatly at the city gate.

The eight sturdy generals in the middle took off their swords and armor, dressed in white, and carried a huge white jade coffin on their shoulders!

The leader had a haggard and tired face. It was Prince Rong who had gone out of the city to look for someone a few days ago!

The queue was completely silent, so quiet that it seemed as if the air was stagnant!

"Welcome Prince Dun back home!"

Suddenly, a loud shout, a rough voice violently tore through the sky.

A meteor streaked across the black sky, like a tear in the world!

The carriage was parked on the side of the street, and the driver pulled the reins hard, fearing that the horses would scare the dead.

In this coffin lies my current brother, the noble prince of the Wu State!

The cobbles on the street trembled slightly under the footsteps of the coffin-carrying team, and even the curtains of the carriage shook violently.

"Sister Chen, don't look!"

"I……"

Gu Feiwan hugged Chen Madam tightly, and soon the collar of her clothes on her chest felt damp.

The pain of separation from loved ones and death cannot be felt even a little bit unless you are the one experiencing it!

"It will be fine, everything will be fine!" Gu Feiwan kept patting Chen Niang's back.

Sometimes, not seeing the cruelty with one's own eyes and deceiving oneself for a lifetime is also a way to avoid pain.

The dead are gone, and the living have to continue living. Gu Feiwan selfishly thought:

Prince Dun is dead, but as long as Lady Chen doesn't see his mutilated body, the pain will be less.

Later, when Mrs. Chen woke up in her midnight dreams, she would recall their sweet past.

In a split second, it seemed like thousands of years had passed. The coffin-carrying team finally went away, and the heavy footsteps of the soldiers could no longer be heard.

From the distant Prince Dun's mansion, faint cries were heard.

Prince Dun had no wives, concubines or children, so his relatives must have gathered together to prepare for his funeral.

The funeral of a royal family member has always been grand.

Prince Dun has a fairly good relationship with the current emperor, so he might come to offer condolences in person.

He was extremely noble during his lifetime and extremely honored after his death. This was the perfect life for a prince.

"go!"

The wheels turned slowly, and when it was time to leave the city, the sky was already shining white.

Madam Chen couldn't hold back any longer. She lifted the carriage curtain and looked back repeatedly, tears streaming down her face all the way.

Ten miles outside the city, there is Qingfeng Pavilion.

Ning Weizhou had turned much darker, and his face was obviously tired, but the moment he saw Gu Feiwan, he was full of energy again:

"Miss!"

Gu Feiwan inexplicably lowered his eyes, subconsciously avoided his gaze, and asked in a low voice:

"Everything is alright with you?"

"All good!" Ning Weizhou walked over quickly, wanting to embrace her, but at the last moment he stood at Gu Feiwan's arm's length away.

He just remembered that he had been out for days and had only washed himself hastily in the stream, and had not changed his clothes for many days.

Gu Feiwan is a person who loves cleanliness. Lou San brought a message saying that his wife is pregnant!

Upon seeing this, although Gu Feiwan looked no different, Ning Weizhou felt extremely happy and ashamed!

"Did you bring the things I asked you to bring?" Gu Feiwan asked with a frown when he saw Ning Weizhou standing there like a fool.

Ning Weizhou finally woke up from his dream, returned to Zhuifeng's side, and took out a box from the bag on his horse's back.

"Sister Chen, the thing you want is in there. We were in such a hurry that we couldn't find a better box..."

"It's okay!" Madam Chen took the box with both hands, hugged it to her chest, and two lines of tears fell.

"He is not a person who cares about these things. Now he is finally free..."

Mrs. Chen was choked with sobs and couldn't speak any more.

Gu Feiwan felt sad, and she wondered if she had done something wrong.

If she lets Madam Chen block the coffin and have a good cry, will it help her to relieve the depression in her heart and leave no regrets?

But the royal family’s rules and regulations are higher than the sky. Maybe the Xiao family members will put Madam Chen in jail on the charge of "insulting the royal family"!

What kind of humiliation will a woman suffer in prison?

Gu Feiwan didn't dare to think about it, nor did he dare to take the risk!

All the difficult things in the world are like this. No matter what you choose or what you do, you can't have the best of both worlds!

"Sister Chen is traveling alone?" Ning Weizhou looked at the carriage of the Gu Mansion.

"I chose a coachman. He has some skills and has traveled far away with the uncles of the Gu family in the past. Although he is a little older now, he should be able to accompany Sister Chen on the travels." Gu Feiwan explained.

Ning Weizhou shook his head: "This man is indeed a bit old. He might run into tough bandits on the way. We must not be careless. This time, Prince Dun..."

At this point, even if Ning Weizhou didn't say anything more, Gu Feiwan also realized that something was wrong.

Although she had lived two lives, she had never traveled far away. In this aspect, she was not as proficient as Ning Weizhou.

"It's okay. I'm not a spoiled girl who was raised in a greenhouse. If I run into danger, I can always run away!" Mrs. Chen hurriedly tried to smooth things over. Her matter had already caused Gu Feiwan and his wife a lot of worry, and they couldn't trouble others for everything.

Ning Weizhou waved his hand in the distance, and a man and a horse ran towards here.

"I'll let Lou San follow you. He's my personal guard, and his skills and experience are much better than yours. If there's any trouble along the way, he knows how to send a message back faster."

The man on horseback approached, dismounted, clasped his fists and saluted: "Please give me your guidance, Madam Chen!"

Gu Feiwan took a look and found that it was indeed Lou San who went out of the house to deliver the letter!

"Fei Wan..." Madam Chen hesitated.

Gu Feiwan quickly advised: "I didn't think it through. Let Lou San follow you. This way we will feel more at ease!"

Lou San pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't worry, Madam Chen. My skills are only second to the general. The other guards are no match for me!"

As he said that, he leaped onto the shaft and knocked the driver off the carriage with one move!

Now Gu Feiwan was even more determined to let Lou San follow him: "See? Just think of him as a thug. Let him do all the heavy work!"

Lou San: "...Madam is really..."

Gu Feiwan glanced over and Lou San immediately clasped his fists: "Sisterly love is deep, and I am touched!"

"I'm leaving."

The two sisters bid farewell reluctantly!

Madam Chen held the wooden box carefully and had some difficulty getting on the cart. Lou San stretched out his hand as if he was used to it, but retracted his hand in an instant and sat upright on the shaft of the cart.

Gu Feiwan was busy wiping her tears and hiding from Ning Weizhou, and didn't notice anything unusual.

"Madam, let's go too. We still have to go to Prince Dun's mansion to pay our respects!" Ning Weizhou said with a bitter face:

"I still have to go to the palace, and I'll probably have to kneel for another two hours!"

He went with Prince Dun to suppress the bandits. Now that Prince Dun was killed, he, as the commander-in-chief, would naturally be blamed by the emperor.

"You won't be punished severely, right?" Gu Feiwan couldn't help but feel a little worried after hearing Ning Weizhou say that.

"Alas, God is really blind this time. Who knew that he would capsize in the ditch? If I had known, I would not have brought him. Princes and grandchildren of the emperor are troublesome!" Ning Weizhou complained.

Gu Feiwan glared: "The person is gone, why are you still talking like this?"

Ning Weizhou smiled playfully: "Madam, if it was me who was killed this time, would you be as sad as Sister Chen?"
