Light Red Northern Song

How efficient is Chu Shanyi?On the second day, the imperial court issued three decrees in succession.

First, Empress Xi died due to a sudden illness. From now on, all departments need to prepare for her funeral.The royal funeral palace and mausoleum are ready-made. You only need to stay in the imperial palace to complete the encoffining etiquette, and the coffin can be moved to the funeral palace for funeral after five days of laying there.Marquis Yingyin, who is far away in the fiefdom, and Her Royal Highness Princess Jingwu, who is out on patrol, return to the court for the funeral.

Then Her Royal Highness Princess Jingrou canceled the gift, and set off for Li Cang Mountain three days later to pray for the people.

It is reasonable to say that the last edict does not need to be issued separately, so many people are a little confused after reading the imperial list.This decree lists the specific date and time limit for the princes, dukes and princes who have fiefdoms outside Beijing and the local governors in power to return to Beijing for the funeral.

In Jinyun Palace, Jingrou still hasn't recovered from what happened last night.Outside the palace, Qiu Yi came to report that His Highness the Second Princess was waiting outside the palace.

"Come in quickly."

"Yes, Your Highness." Qiu Yi hurried away.

"How is little queen today?" Qi Mingyi came in and stared at the other person's face for a while before asking.

"Second Sister, don't ask anything, just sit for a while."

The two sat facing each other and drank tea, silent for a while.

"Second Sister Huang is here for something?"

"Huh?" Qi Mingyi frowned and said, "It's nothing, I just came to see you."

"If there is something to do, there will be something to do. I will leave in two days. If you want to talk to me, there is nowhere to find me."

"No place? Didn't you go to Mount Li Cang? How could there be no place to look for it?"

"Alas... today I don't know what will happen tomorrow. Who knows if I will be there when you want to find me."

"Today, I don't know what will happen tomorrow..." Qi Mingyi's frown deepened, and he said after a while: "But it's not suitable to talk about it right now."

"It's up to you, and you can say it when you want to."

"If I want to speak, there must be someone who is willing to listen. Being born in the royal family, the most distressing thing is that there is no one to speak confidantly. In the past, it was better when Jin was here."

Jing Rou's heart skipped a beat before realizing that because of what happened last night, she actually forgot about that person.Nuanyi immediately climbed up, and she suddenly smiled and said, "Jinzhi is the best, and I can't compare to it."

"I...didn't mean that." Qi Mingyi pretended to make Little Huangmei careless, and said: "It's not that I don't want to be intimate with you, it's that I don't know how to tell you, you won't understand."

"Well, only Jinzhi understands."

"Okay, don't make fun of me. I'm afraid you'll think I'm a weirdo if I say it."

"Scab addiction?" Jingrou looked at the other party squarely, looked at it seriously, shook her head and said, "I don't have any scab addiction, I don't know about other quirks." The next moment she asked: "Concubine Xi's fierce ceremony Do you have nothing to do?"

"Is the little queen driving me away?"

Jingrou stood up and walked towards the door and asked, "Is it safe to call so many people back to the court?"

"There shouldn't be any problem. As early as after the Celestial Master's Christmas, the Queen Mother and Uncle Wang have successively transferred some garrisons from various places to return to the court, and stationed them near the capital."

"If you don't tell me about the court affairs, I can't help you either."

"Oh, the queen mother said that you are not a mortal, and you can't waste such a mortal god and a worldly heart." Qi Mingyi also stood up and walked over, looking out together with her.

Jing Rou turned her face and gave her an angry look, and said: "This seems to be a curse, scolding such useless people."

"Haha, you're thinking too much."

"I am in the mortal world, my heart is in the secular world, do I still want to transcend? If that is the case, I should soar up, and I should not have love or hate in the world."

"Love and hate in the world?" Qi Mingyi turned his head and asked with a smile, "What do you love and what do you hate?"

"Without love and hate, I can still be that wooden man?" Jing Rou turned and sat back on the square stool after speaking.

"Little imperial sister, sometimes, I wish I was a wooden person. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of love." Qi Mingyi said in a low voice.

"Oh, is it true that Miss Huang is disturbed by love?"

A gust of cold wind came from nowhere, and the two were silent for a while.

"I should go." Qi Mingyi said.

In normal times, Jing Rou might still be concerned about what bothered the other party.But today, she herself was bothered, and she really didn't have the heart to ask other people's affairs.

She looked at the back of the other party and said, "Okay, Miss Huang, let's go to work."

"Little Huangmei," Qi Mingyi turned around, hesitated for a while before saying, "Go to Mount Li Cang, remember to pass the letter to me."

"When you go there, it is natural to pass the letter back to the dynasty."

"No, no, it's a letter to me. I will reply to you too, don't forget."

When Jing Rou heard this, although she felt strange in her heart, she still nodded her head silently.

In the next two days, the departments in the palace became busy again.Lin Yuan yelled when he came back from the outside: "Your Highness, I'm back."

"It's true that you are a wild monkey. How is Mu Ji?"

"I'm going to treat Mu Ji's wounds, how can you say I'm a wild monkey?" Lin Yuan picked up the tea on the table, took a few sips and said.

"In the future, prepare a few more teacups here, so that you don't need to use mine every day."

"Use yours and use yours, what should you do?"

In the past two days, when only the two of them were around, Lin Yuan seemed to be more casual than before.Jingrou didn't care, instead she followed suit casually, and didn't need to call herself the palace.

"Ask you how Mu Ji is, why are you so long-winded?"

"It's still in progress. In the future, according to my instructions, the dosage of the medicinal soup is well controlled, and the recovery will be within half a year."

"It will take half a year?" Jingrou only knew that the poison was overbearing, but she didn't want to fully recover that it would take so long.

"If you hadn't sealed his Xinshu acupoint in time, and my Bai Ling Pill was protecting him, he wouldn't be healed for half a year? Half a lifetime!" Lin Yuan sat on the square stool smoothly, exaggerating.

"Then, let him continue his training. There is no need to follow him on the trip to Li Cangshan. Where is Xia Le?"

"Xia Le also went today. Your Highness, you are too serious. There is no reason for this. You are a lonely man and a widow. You don't care about it, but you are going to encourage the evil trend!"

"Emotion comes from the heart, it's a manifestation of the mind, it's really normal. You said that yourself that day, why did I encourage unhealthy tendencies? Besides, Mu Ji is seriously injured and needs to be taken care of properly. It's an extraordinary time, not like in the past. Where are there so many rules?"

"Yes, yes, Your Highness, you are the most reasonable! Xia Le said, go back to the palace tonight, and go with His Highness tomorrow."

"My sweetheart is like this, and she still thinks about me. I will send someone out of the palace to tell her not to come."

"Your Highness, you are so considerate of putting yourself in other people's shoes!" Lin Yuan stood up abruptly, walked up to the other person and asked loudly: "Or is it that you are especially able to separate yourself from the person you love?" Understand the inexplicable affection in it?"

Listening to her words, Jingrou lowered her head and stroked her forehead and said, "I really miss the days when Linlang was in the palace."

"You can be content with me here. Where does Linlang come from to spend time with you?"

"Well, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. It's what you said. That's why he is the busiest of you."

"What is he busy with? He's been thinking wildly all day, wasting Taoism."

"Are you ashamed to say that other people are thinking wildly?" Jing Rou felt that something was wrong just as she finished her reply, and asked instead: "Why do you say that he is thinking wildly?"

"How do I know? Master said."

"Your master? She is tired of even teaching her own apprentices, but she has time to take care of other people's apprentices."

"Huh? I heard that when Lin Lang first entered the school, he wanted to worship under the master's school. It was the uncle who snatched him away."

"Is there such a thing?"

"Well, what Senior Sister Linman said should be true."

Jingrou only thought that the two true immortals were at odds, and she didn't dare to ask further questions.

"Your Highness?" Seeing the other party's sudden silence, Lin Yuan called out.

"I was in a bad mood at first, but it seems to be better after bickering with you. I won't go out, so you can tell Jian Chen to send someone out of the palace to deliver a message to Xia Le."

"Hmph! An angel calls me every day." Lin Yuan curled his lips and walked out the door.

In the early morning of the next day, the royal formation was neatly lined up outside the Renzi Gate.Qidi in mid-September is windier and colder.This time Princess Jingrou went out of Beijing to pray for the people, and she brought about [-] guards.The empress, the second princess, and King Qingxiang all went out of the city to see them off.

"Yu'er, don't worry about the affairs of Beijing in Li Cang Mountain. You can only go down the mountain after the permission of the real immortal. Do you remember?" Chu Shanyi lovingly caressed the other person's cheek and confessed.

"Yeah, I remember Aunt Huang." Jingrou lowered her eyebrows and replied with a soft smile.

"Little imperial sister, read books with me often, you promised me." Qi Mingyi said.

"Well, I promise you."

"Hehe, little sister, Brother Huang should also tell you a few words here." Qi Zhiwei smiled, looked around and said: "Brother Huang has always wanted to go to see the snow, but he always has no chance. This time, you On behalf of the emperor brother, give it a good reward. When you return to Beijing, you can talk to the emperor brother."

"Well, good." Jing Rou responded one by one.

"Let's go, be careful in everything." Chu Shanyi said again.

"Yeah." After saying goodbye to everyone, the team set off for the north.

"Qiu Yi, when we get back to the teacher's gate, I'll take you to watch the snow. Let me tell you, the snow in Li Cang Mountain is no better than other places, it's very beautiful."

"Daoist, it's only been a few days since Frost's Fall, is it possible to see the snow from Cang Mountain?" Qiu Yi asked.

"The earliest snow season in Licang Mountain is just a few days after the first frost in previous years. With so many of us going there from the capital, it takes about [-] days to get to the foot of the mountain. Calculated in this way, hey! It happens to be at the time of the Xiayuan Festival. After going up the mountain, we have to celebrate His Highness's birthday."

"That's right, Your Highness, this servant will make you candy cakes. When I was a child, my servants would eat candy cakes on their birthdays."

"Oh, okay." Jing Rou stroked her body, touched Yu Jue with her fingers, and replied with a smile.

A few days later, in the main hall of the Hou Mansion in Yingyin County, a person was furious.

"This insidious and vicious Chu Shanyi, the hatred in my heart can only be cured by being cut into pieces!" Qi Zhitong slammed the table heavily and shouted.

"Master Hou, now I should think about an excuse so that I don't have to go back to Beijing." The next scholar said.

"What's the excuse? What's the excuse? Hmph! You still want to lure me and the imperial sister back to catch them all? It's too vicious!" Qi Zhizheng shouted and turned to ask: "Emperor sister, why don't you speak?"

It has been more than a month since Qi Mingxuan left Zhenbei Daying, because he did not find any trace of that group of people, he turned to Yingyin County, and he arrived here yesterday, unexpectedly, he got the news that his mother and concubine had died.

She was depressed in her heart, recalling the happy time when she was young, and also recalling the unpleasant past that happened between herself and her mother and concubine.Although there was a grudge between the two of them after that, it was her mother after all.

Unexpectedly, when I left Beijing suddenly, heaven and man would be separated forever.

"It used to be that Taoist mother and concubine would be able to protect herself if she stayed in the palace for a long time without asking about ordinary matters, but now she doesn't want such a thing to happen. If Xia Yan and others hadn't seen it with their own eyes, I..."

"Even if Xia Yan and the others didn't see it with their own eyes, if you think about it, you can see that it was planned by that treacherous Chu Shanyi!" Qi Zhitong interjected.

Qi Mingxuan didn't think this in her heart, she just couldn't believe it, that person would do it himself?Yes!That person knows martial arts and is Chu Shanyi's own niece, why can't he do it himself?It just happened to be discovered by someone, so it is also possible to be caught.

Is this really possible?

She shook her head, and began to blame herself in her heart. The mother and concubine were killed by someone, so why are you still trying to excuse the murderer?What a vain son of man.

"Imperial sister, the emperor's list is out, what should I do about this funeral?"

"What else can I do? Is it possible not to go back to the funeral? Not to go back to send mother and concubine the last journey?" Qi Mingxuan asked back.

"Sister, you really can't do great things! A woman's opinion!"

"I really can't do big things, and I never want to do big things. I just want to go back and send my mother off."

"Your Highness, no!" The scholar interjected, "Concubine Xi eats vegetarian food and recites Buddhism, and Chu Shanyi will not let her go. It must be that Chu maidservant is planning something in Beijing. In this case, everything that might stand in front of her Everyone on the road is in danger, isn't it a dead end to go back to Beijing now?"

"Going back to Beijing is absolutely impossible, Shou Wei, think about it, what should I do?"

"It can only be called sick, which is the safest way." After the scholar replied, he said, "But what should your Highness do? Two people cannot be sick at the same time. Didn't the Chu maid say that His Highness is on patrol outside, we can spread the news, just say His Highness I met a thief outside, and my whereabouts are unknown."

Qi Mingxuan stood up suddenly, lowered his head and said, "No, I'm going back to Beijing for the funeral."

"You!" Qi Zhitong was very angry, and cursed: "I didn't know you were so filial in the past! Good! If you are going to die yourself, will anyone be able to stop you? You go! Go today!"

Qi Mingxuan didn't say much anymore, and turned to leave.
