old friends return

"What about grandma's body? Where can I take it for burial?" There are still An Ling's people outside at this time, so it would not be difficult to take the old lady's body out.But if we delay for a while, there will be more people at dawn, and I am afraid that we will run into trouble.

In a trance, Liu Qingyan said lightly, "Don't bother, just go here and be cremated."

"What did you say?" Cheng Muzhi couldn't believe what he heard. Could it be that Ah Yan was too stimulated, and now he is not so clear-headed to say such words?Cheng Muzhi grabbed Liu Qingyan's wrist violently, exerted some strength, and said in a serious tone, "Ah Yan, answer my question carefully."

"I said, let's cremate my grandmother right here." Liu Qingyan turned her head and repeated it again, her tone didn't seem to be joking.

Cheng Muzhi looked at him in disbelief, not knowing what to say, why did he have such an idea?Take the body out, find a place to bury it properly, and no matter what, there will be a place to mourn in the future... But if it is cremated like this, does Ah Yan even care about his own relatives?

Seeing that Cheng Muzhi didn't speak, Liu Qingyan just stood there in a daze. He knew that his decision was too unexpected for him, and he was afraid of delaying his time to go to court and arousing suspicion, so he said again, "Your Highness , people die like a lamp goes out, since grandma has already gone, the Liu family ancestral hall is naturally inaccessible, where can the body be placed?"

"Besides, grandma didn't care about these things before she was alive. Why not cremate them here? Besides, there are more than a dozen corpses of the Liu family's servants here. Wouldn't it be good to cremate them as well? If we let them go like this Here, grandma can't bear to have knowledge under the spring."

Speaking of this, he sneered, "It will be clean if it is set on fire, otherwise it will take a long time for the bloody smell to dissipate. What will happen to the territory of the Liu family is up to me, the eldest son of the Liu family, and it is not his turn to Yan Qi." Then bring the officers and soldiers to seal the Liu Mansion."

How will Yan Qi react when he sees this scene in a few hours?

Liu Qingyan moved the wrist that had been held by him all the time, Cheng Muzhi seemed to lose all strength in his hand, and let go of him, such Ah Yan...

Coldness, alienation, a strong sense of strangeness, it seems that there is something between them... This feeling appeared again.

Don't say anything more, since Ah Yan said so, after all, it is the Liu family's own family affairs, so let him decide...

But I always feel that Ah Yan's performance and reaction are too strange.Why is it so indifferent?Like an outsider, he calmly handled all the funeral affairs without pain or itching.

Seeing that Liu Qingyan went to Lin Anyou's place to ask for a fire bag, lit the spirit banner in the house, the tongue of fire burned up all at once, covered with dried blood, and it was out of control.

Gradually, the fire in the entire mourning hall intensified.

Liu Qingyan walked to his side, and changed back to his original gentle look, as if the person who said those words with a cold face just now was not him. "Your Highness, let's go."

"You go to court first, don't miss the time, Chen and Mr. Lin, Mr. Gao and they return to An Ling, so you don't have to worry about me. Prime Minister Zuo and the others, no matter what, they won't find An Ling in a while."

The fire blazed into the sky.

Cheng Muzhi turned his head and took another deep look at the mourning hall behind him, but was pulled away by Liu Qingyan without hesitation, "Your Highness, if you delay any longer, it will be too late."

There will be no chance to look back.

Gao Jin, who had been outside for a long time, heard the reply from the person who went out to look for Cheng Muzhi. Not having anything else to do, he rushed directly to the gate of the Liu Mansion, for fear that something might happen to His Royal Highness.

He was blocked by Anling's man standing at the door.Gao Jin became anxious, "There's a fire inside, are you blind or did you really not see it? You don't know if you can't put out the fire? What if there are still people inside?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Cheng Muzhi coming out of it.Accompanied by Gao Xuan and Lin Anyou, Gao Xuan knew Gao Jin, he waved his hand to instruct the people at the door not to stop him, then saluted Cheng Muzhi, and took Liu Qingyan back to Anling first.

Gao Jin was so focused on Cheng Muzhi, who hadn't returned all night, that he didn't notice that Liu Qingyan left with them. He stretched out his hand and beckoned the people behind him to put on Cheng Muzhi's cloak, "Your Highness, what happened to you?" Your clothes are all soaked... you still have to go to court today? The old slave will let someone go back and prepare hot water for you, at least take a bath and change your clothes..."

Gao Jin had been by Cheng Muzhi's side since he was a child, when had he ever seen him look so lost?Suddenly frightened by his appearance, the words of concern in his mouth could not be stopped.

Cheng Muzhi rubbed his brows that had been frowning all the time, and kept frowning, feeling a little stinging, raised his hand to signal Lin Anyou, who was still following him, to come over, and whispered a few words in his ear, Lin Anyou agreed, and Gao Xuan went all the way back.

Anling's people also withdrew.

Cheng Muzhi didn't speak, and let Gao Jin help himself into the carriage, "Your Highness, there is still more than half an hour before the morning court, are you still going?"

"Go, go back to the East Palace first. I take a bath and change clothes. I don't need breakfast, so as not to delay the time." Cheng Muzhi supported his drowsy head with his hands, and there was a throbbing pain near his temples.

He also slowly withdrew from the emotional ups and downs just now, Ah Yan is fine anyway, as long as he hasn't changed, it's fine.

Gao Jin, who was outside the carriage, finally asked at this moment: "Your Highness, why is Liu's mansion on fire? Liu's house... Is something wrong?" The latter question was a little hesitant, for fear of touching Cheng Muzhi's brow.

"Let's talk about these things later. You only need to know one thing, Liu Qingyan, he will never come here again. As for my companion, there is no need to look for it. Since Bengong is an adult, it is optional , nothing serious."

Explained the matter to him in a very flat tone.

Gao Jin was shocked when he heard that, why, Mr. Liu is not here yet?Could it be that Mr. Xiao was involved in the Liu family's accident?But what happened to the Liu family... However, I still have to ask about the future, "Then, will Mr. Liu's room and small study be taken care of?"

Cheng Muzhi was slightly stunned, and replied: "Keep it, and send someone to clean it up every day."

"The old slave knows." His Highness doesn't want to say more, how dare a slave ask more questions, Gao Jin won't ask any more questions, and won't think too much about who is guarding Liu's mansion today, no matter what, he just You need to obey Cheng Muzhi's orders and do your own thing well.

The fire in Liu's mansion became more and more uncontrollable, and black smoke rose from the air in bursts, mixed with a strong pungent burnt smell, which made the eyes of passers-by sore.

The people living around finally came to put out the fire. After all, it was an official they had always loved. The sudden flood in the house naturally attracted the attention of the people.
