The reborn brother eats candy

Chapter 99 National Mourning

As soon as the new year was over, the Pingyang Palace was busy with all matters related to the marriage of the eldest son, but the smile on Princess Pingyang's face froze before it had time to expand further.

On the eve of the Lantern Festival, news came from the palace that the empress dowager had passed away.

As soon as the news came out, it quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys. For a while, the people in the capital hurriedly collected the red lanterns hanging in front of their houses and the broken firecracker paper.

Soon, King Pingyang and his concubine also entered the palace according to the regulations.

The Spring Festival, which was joyous for the whole family for a while, was also cast a layer of sadness.

The empress dowager loved Princess Luo the most during her lifetime, and because she lived in the palace for a long time, she naturally knew that most of the princesses in the past would become political victims to make peace with other countries.So before she died, she left a decree that Princess Xu Xiluo would find her own marriage in the future.

Princess Xiluo's eyes were red and swollen from crying, she hugged the Empress Dowager's arm and refused to let go, crying "Mother Queen" loudly.In fact, she was not born of the empress dowager, but she has received all the love and affection of the empress dowager in this life.

It wasn't until later that Princess Xiluo fainted from crying, and was ordered by the emperor to have the female officer in the palace take her to the inner hall.

The current emperor has always governed the country with benevolence, virtue, virtuousness and filial piety, and immediately ordered a three-year national mourning, and the whole country mourned together. This time was the 19th year of the Qingli calendar.

At this time, Xu Yan, as the son of the eldest son, really took on the responsibility. He didn't show up for the appointment on New Year's Eve, but there was something else hidden.

Princess Pingyang suddenly mentioned this marriage at the family banquet that night, everyone was taken aback immediately, and Xu Yan raised his head in shock.

It's not that he hates Su Su, it's just that he doesn't want to marry a woman he doesn't love, so he begged his mother and concubine to take back her life.

Princess Pingyang valued her eldest son Xu Yan the most on weekdays, and she left everything to him, but she was merciless in doing this alone.At the moment when the table is clapped, if Xu Yan does not follow his promise to marry Su Su, it will be unfilial.

However, Xu Yan just knelt down, with a clear intention of resisting, King Pingyang was furious, and immediately called for someone to pass on the family law.

Although Princess Pingyang was angry, she couldn't bear to blame her eldest son, her eyes were wet with tears, she was so angry and stuffy, she beat her chest in annoyance.

As I said before, Xu Yan is a dutiful son, even if he didn't want to, seeing his mother and concubine like this, he finally agreed.

It's just that they didn't expect that after that night, Su Su contracted a wind-cold, which was so cold that it didn't look like a wind-cold, and if she didn't get better for a few days, it would be difficult to go to the next place.

Concubine Pingyang was anxious and helpless, her marriage was still going on as usual, she originally planned to get married on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, but the death of the empress dowager interrupted the situation.

Three years after the national mourning, not to mention that Xu Yan is already 22 years old, even Su Su is a 19-year-old girl.

Thinking of this, Princess Pingyang became more and more anxious, and fainted as soon as she left the palace.For a while, people only said that Princess Pingyang was too sentimental because of the death of the empress dowager.

Princess Pingyang was ill for several months, thinking about Xu Yan's marriage day and night, and finally closed her eyes heavily one day.Before he died, he held Xu Yan with one hand and Xu Yangyi with the other, and shed a tear in the end and never woke up again.

Xu Yangyi cried so much that she almost passed out, and knelt down beside the bed, calling "Mother Concubine" loudly.Her mother and concubine could no longer hear, and there were only two things on her mind before she died.

One is to let Xu Yan marry Su Su, and the other is to ask Xu Yan to take good care of his only sister, Yang Yi.

The cold wind was chilling, and the palace gradually took on a deeper mournful look.

Wearing a snow-white mourning dress, Xu Yan kowtowed heavily to Princess Pingyang's body.When he looked up again, there were bloodstains on his forehead, his eye sockets were wet like a river, and two lines of hot tears suddenly fell down.

"elder brother."

Xu Yangyi cried bitterly on Xu Yan's body, crying out of breath.

After the news spread, Shen Junhan frowned. He didn't expect Princess Pingyang to die so early in this life.

Driving to the palace in a hurry, Shen Junhan just arrived at the door, and saw a row of white paper lanterns hanging outside the door. The whole palace was silent in sadness, like an autumn evening.

"Master."

Shen Junhan walked through the corridor, and shed tears the moment he saw Xu Yan.

His senior elder brother was even thinner, dressed in white Shengxue but with infinite sadness.

Xu Yan's hand paused slightly, and then the yellow paper in his hand was reduced to ashes in the brazier.

"You came."

Shen Junhan sniffled and knelt down in front of Xu Yan.

"Brother, you can't come back to life after death, so you have to mourn."

There was a bitterness on Xu Yan's face, and he just raised his head to say something, when there was a loud noise outside the door, which seemed out of place in the silent mourning hall.

"It's all you, you deserve to die! If it wasn't for you, how could the mother and concubine be depressed and sick in bed for a long time!?"

Xu Wen was also dressed in white, his eyes were red, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. He pointed at Xu Yan and cursed loudly.

Xu Yangyi ran over crying, hugged Xu Wen's waist, and cried bitterly, "Second Brother, Second Brother, Yang Yi please, please don't do this, Yang Yi please."

But Xu Wen couldn't listen, so he pushed Xu Yangyi away. Yang Yi staggered a few steps and sat down on the ground.Staring at her second brother incredulously with red and swollen eyes.

Immediately, a servant girl went to help Xu Yangyi, and more servants ran over to stop Xu Wen. The huge empty courtyard seemed to be a sad farce.

"Don't stop him!"

Xu Yan suddenly stood up and said in a low voice.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then looked at each other in shock, not daring to stop Xu Wen for a moment.

"Master."

Shen Junhan stood up and wanted to help Xu Yan, but Xu Yan refused.

Tears fell from his eyes, and Shen Junhan's hands stopped stiffly in mid-air, watching Xu Wen in the courtyard walking towards him step by step.

Suddenly Xu Wen raised his fist and hit Xu Yan fiercely, his face was gloomy and terrifying, as if Xu Yan was not his big brother, but an enemy.

"It's all you, it's all your fault! Concubine Mother has been worrying about you all her life! You are so good, it will take several years to go to Jiuli Mountain! Concubine Mother often tears her face, you know this!"

Xu Wen was furious, and wanted to hit Xu Yan again, but was blocked by Shen Junhan in the next second.

Xu Yan was punched in the face, and blood dripped from his mouth, making his face even paler.

"Get out of the way, it's not up to you, an outsider, to intervene in the affairs of Pingyang Palace!" Xu Wen said angrily, and went up to grab Shen Junhan's shoulder.

Shen Junhan moved his feet, dodged it, glanced at Xu Yan, and then angrily said to Xu Wen, "Princess Pingyang passed away, my senior brother is more sad than anyone else! Why do you call Xu Wen a filial son here! If you really With such obedience on the surface, how could you send someone to kill my senior brother! You clearly know that my senior brother is the heart of the princess, so why did you go so cruelly to gouge out your mother's heart! How dare you say it!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. All the servants and maids standing in the courtyard were shocked. When they saw Xu Wen's gloomy face, they hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look any further.

Xu Yangyi burst into tears again, and shouted at Shen Junhan, "You are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense! You are not allowed to frame my second brother like this!"

Shen Junhan sneered, glanced at Xu Yangyi and said, "Miss Xu, you didn't spare Xu Mo's life in order to protect your second brother that day. Now you want to do it for your second brother, what do you want?"

"I……"

Xu Yangyi stared blankly at Shen Junhan, then turned to look at Xu Yan, then leaned over in the maid's arms and began to cry bitterly.

Whether it's the second brother or the eldest brother, they are all brothers of her mother and compatriots!

At this moment, Xu Yan slowly raised his head, his eyes were bleak, and he turned his head to look at Shen Junhan, "Liang Liang, tell big brother, is everything you said true?"

Shen Junhan nodded, tears streaming down his face, "Master brother, my elder brother told me that he was the man in black from the Xu Wen sect back then, and he wanted to kill you, senior brother!"

Hearing this, Xu Yan suddenly looked up to the sky and burst out laughing, tears of laughter fell to the ground.His younger brother, his biological younger brother, actually wanted to kill him a few years ago!

Xu Wen smiled coldly, and dropped his sleeves. From now on, the Pingyang Palace will have him without Xu Yan, and Xu Yan without him!
