It was dark.

Shen Luoyu was holding a torch beside him.

The grave has been dug up, but Pei Yi is still digging down tirelessly, his hands are bleeding and blistered, sweating profusely.

The coffin cover was soon exposed. Pei Yi quickly shoveled off the soil on it, threw away the shovel, jumped into the grave pit, grabbed the coffin cover with both hands and lifted it up forcefully, forcibly lifted the nailed coffin cover off!

The stench of corpses filled his nostrils.

Shen Luoyu hurriedly covered her nose, wanting to gag.

Pei Yi didn't notice it, and said in a deep voice, "Give me the torch."

Shen Luoyu immediately handed the torch to him, and the torch shone into the coffin. She inadvertently caught a glimpse of the corpse lying in it. The face was not completely rotted, and she could vaguely recognize the original appearance, but it was also extremely terrifying, which frightened her , Hastily moved his eyes away.

Pei Yi said: "Go away, I want to be alone with him."

Shen Luoyu answered yes, but she didn't dare to go far, and stopped after walking five or six zhang away.

It was pitch black all around, with the rustling of insects, Shen Luoyu was a little scared, she squatted down with her back against a big tree, and hugged her body tightly.

Not long after, the tomb suddenly burst into flames.

She thought of the letter Shen Jiahe had left, presumably Pei Yi followed his instructions and cremated his body.

After a long time, the light of the fire dimmed.

Shen Luoyu hesitated for a moment, then returned the same way, and saw Pei Yi squatting on the ground picking up ashes.

She squatted down by the side, and under the light of the torch, she silently helped to pick them up and put them on Pei Yi's robe that was spread on the ground.

Pei Yi suddenly said, "Tell me what happened in detail."

"Yes." Shen Luoyu paused, and said slowly: "On the third day of His Royal Highness's expedition, the emperor ordered Shen Jiahe to enter the palace. He handed me the letter he had written in advance, and asked me to wait for His Royal Highness to return. Handed it over to you, and asked me to take care of Niannian, and then went to the palace. At dusk, he came back, but he was carried back by General Gongyang—”

"Gongyang Xilin?" Pei Yi interrupted her.

"Exactly." Shen Luoyu said, "General Gongyang carried Shen Jiahe's body to the Prince's Mansion, saying that Shen Jiahe offended Shengyan for some reason and was bestowed to death by the emperor, and said that no one is allowed to tell His Highness about this. Otherwise, they will all be executed. I have no choice but to bury Shen Jiahe first with the help of General Gongyang, and then wait for His Highness to come back before making plans."

After listening, Pei Yi was silent for a moment, and said, "I haven't seen Nian Nian since I came back, how is he?"

"He's fine," Shen Luoyu said, "For the convenience of taking care of him, I let him live in my yard."

"You've done a good job," Pei Yi said, "I'll promote you to be the Crown Princess after I've dealt with Jiahe's funeral."

Shen Luoyu said: "This is all within the status of a concubine."

After picking up the ashes, the two left together.

On the carriage, Pei Yi leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.

Shen Luoyu looked at his expression secretly, and saw that his face was ashen and completely lost the previous look, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the word "love" really inspires the soul and deceives the common people[Note].

Back at the Prince's Mansion, Pei Yi went straight to Shen Jiahe's former residence, and said to Shen Luoyu, "Bring Nian Nian."

Shen Luoyu took the order to go, and brought Niannian here not long after.

When Nian Nian saw him, tears welled up, and she rushed into his arms, weeping uncontrollably: "Daddy Pei, Daddy Pei, you are back, Daddy Shen...he was killed!"

Pei Yi hugged him into his arms and motioned for Shen Luoyu to leave.

Shen Luoyu bowed to leave, and closed the door behind her.

Pei Yi wiped away the tears on Niannian's face, and whispered in his ear: "Don't cry, I'll tell you a secret, you must never tell anyone——Your father Shen is not dead, he is still alive."

The author has something to say: [Note: The word love is a word that smokes the soul and stains the bones, and mistakenly exhausts the common people. ——Li Bihua "Green Snake"]
