The living are passers-by, and the dead are returnees.The heaven and the earth are traveling against each other, and they are in mourning for the eternal dust.

Sitting withered into a shadow, another night without closing his eyes.The white light from the sky appeared inch by inch, and Liu Yueying slowly got up from the ground dejectedly. The moment she stood up, she felt that the sky was spinning, and her eyes were full of golden lights of various colors.

She got used to it for a long time, and in a trance, she seemed to feel that the person hugged her from behind and exhaled hot air in her ear.

But after waking up, there was no one.It was empty everywhere.

There was a light knock on the door outside, and she subconsciously hugged the box tightly in her arms.

"Your Majesty." It was the attendant.

Holding the whisk in his hand, he bent down and said: "Today is the auspicious day set by the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian. All the ministers and soldiers have arrived at the Tai Chi Hall. The slaves and the imperial guards respectfully invite Master Yang to die."

The brain was still chaotic, like a tangle of hemp with no end in sight, the words slowly entered his mind from his ears, and it took him a long time to realize what Chang Shi meant.

——Take away the black lacquer box containing the sun wisps and bring them to the Tai Chi Hall for worship.

Is that so...

Finally, the arms tightened, and the small box was pressed against the chest. There was only a hard and painful feeling.The dry eyelids became moist again, he put the box on the table and turned his back.

If you can't see it, it won't hurt.

The servant's footsteps circled behind him, he knocked his head three times in front of the table, then he picked up the black box and walked out the door.

The low sound of ox horns sounded outside the door again, and the guards and the imperial guards left.

It seemed as if countless sharp needles were piercing his temples, his whole head was hurting, and his chest was suddenly pulled, and even breathing became difficult.

Yang Li doesn't even want to give me a body, so what else can she leave behind...

In a blink of an eye, Liu Yueying suddenly opened her eyes wide, ran out staggeringly, staggered when she crossed the threshold, and was immediately supported by Pianqiu at the door of the study.

Three steps and two steps, striding to the main hall.

Opposite the couch where Yang Yu used to sit, there was a large and tall floor cabinet. Liu Yueying hurriedly opened the door, searched for a long time in the bottom shelf, and found a cabinet engraved with osmanthus petals. Huanghuali brocade box.There is a layer of patina on the outside of the box, which reflects a bright luster.

Opening the box, the inside is covered with crimson single roses, flowers of different colors, bright and brilliant, shaped like clouds in the sky.Pian Qiurao had seen so many gorgeous fabrics, but seldom seen such a good thing, she wondered in her heart, what did the emperor put in it?

Liu Yueying lifted the silk cloth, and a bracelet was stored underneath.

Pianqiu felt that she had misjudged her vision—the color of this bracelet is very dim, and there are many cracks on it—it must have been bumped accidentally, and the stone was not usually used by the royal family, such as Hetian jade and jadeite. Serve good seeds.

The emperor put a worthless bracelet in a very rare box, silk cloth?Pianqiu didn't make a sound, only saw Liu Yueying holding the bracelet over and over and looking at it for a long time, her hands trembling a little.

Then, without hesitation, she took off the bracelet she was wearing, and put on the ugly bracelet carefully.

Looking at Liu Yueying with red eyes, Pianqiu probably understood what was going on.

"Aunt..." Liu Yueying's voice was very soft, very soft.

"The servant is here."

"This is the first gift Yang Li gave me..."

Is she sending you off with such a piece of crap?This sentence was swallowed by Pianqiu, and she slowly said: "Lord Yang, she was born in commoner clothes, and she became a talent through her own hard work, and she was appreciated by His Majesty. It is really a blessing for the family."

"No, no, she doesn't have a family. She is an orphan picked up by Master. She told me that when Master picked her up, she only had this bracelet on her body except for the wrapping cloth—" Liu Yueying's voice began to choke: "I'm Lost her master, scattered her living place..."

My heart is so painful, Xiaoli, you must have been in such pain at that time, I finally feel it now.

Three days later, the chamber.

"Sister Huang!" Liu Yuehua rushed in without even sending the letter.She held four or five pieces of paper in her hand and slapped them on the imperial table.

Liu Yueying slightly frowned and reprimanded: "Wen Jiu is almost one year old, why can't you get rid of this reckless habit?"

"It happened for a reason, and it's not too late for Sister Huang to say it after listening to it." Liu Yuehua spread out the pieces of paper one by one, and continued: "The Ministry of Officials and the Minister of Finance sent people to collect Yang Li's belongings. I searched everything, and found a few pieces of paper from an inconspicuous place, which seems to be related to the direction of the canal."

When Yang Li was mentioned, Liu Yueying's expression was a little dazed again, and she pulled herself together to listen, and stretched out her hand to read the pages word by word.

"This is... the route map of the canal to be built in Nanjun today?" Liu Yueying was stunned.

"Exactly, it seems that she finished writing these plans a long time ago. At that time, she had already..."

Liu Yuehua also felt uncomfortable, sighed and said: "She has already made a complete plan according to the terrain trend of Nanman. Go south from the tributary of Jiahe in Jiangnan County. In this way, the entire waterway of Daxing will run through the north and south. , I am no longer afraid of mountains and roads.”

"Don't say any more..." Liu Yueying frowned, and the suppressed pain in her heart swelled more and more.Her fingers gently stroked the dried ink, thinking about how Yang Li should have written on this document a long time ago, and where her fingers had touched.

How come I can no longer see her, hear her voice, or feel her warmth... I still can't believe it.

"Since she planned the route of the canal early in the morning, she can't let her work in vain. The second line is over in March, and she has been recuperating for a while. The materials and natives in Nanjun are enough to support this project. Yuehua, you Take these to the Ministry of Industry and let them start preparing today."

"Yes. Then... who will be in charge?" In the past, the affairs of the canal were all in charge of Yang Ling.

"Yuehua, don't disappoint my expectations of you." Liu Yueying's eyes were deep, thousands of words gathered into a bottomless look.

"Yes, Yuehua understands."

"One more thing." Liu Yueying pondered for a while, then said with a serious face: "Since the Fengqi Army has never looked for Yan Xi, then who is it that dares to assassinate Yan Xi and Yangzhi in the name of my own army?"

Liu Yuehua looked at Sister Huang's expression, and the hairs on her back stood on end.There was a cold light in her eyes now, like a beast ready to go, trying to tear that villain into pieces.

"This matter is indeed strange. Sister Chen has asked the Rain Banner Army and the Wind Banner Army to inquire about the news at the same time. For a whole month, they have not found anything. Yan Xi and the others seem to have evaporated from the world, and they can't be found anywhere. Sister Chen I thought, the place where they had an accident was in Yingzhou, so close to Nanjun, would it be..."

Liu Yueying's face was livid, the eldest princess didn't say anything, they knew each other well.

The emperor's pro-army has never missed a shot, and the only time they couldn't find a clue before was related to one person.

"If this matter has anything to do with Sha Yu, I will definitely skin her and expose her body." The back molars were clenched tightly, and she tried her best to endure the great anger after her grief.

"Chenmei thinks that the imperial court can issue a reward order on the rivers and lakes. If anyone can give Sha Yu 01:30 clues, he will be rewarded heavily."

"Understood, this matter is also fully entrusted to you. Even if you dig three feet into the ground and suffer countless casualties, you must find Sha Yu for me!"

Liu Yuehua saw Huang Jie's hand suddenly forming a fist, which showed the hatred in her heart.

She is always an outsider.Although I don't know what the relationship between Sha Yu and Yang Li is, Yang Li has always denied it, but we can get a glimpse of it from the attitude of Huang Jie's unabated hostility towards Sha Yu.

However, if this matter is really related to Sha Yu... Will there be any turning point?

The authorities are fascinated by the bystanders, Sha Yu's martial arts are world-class, and she is proficient in divination and fortune-telling, and Shangfanggu is the former territory of the Nanman. Logically speaking, she should be familiar with it very well. She shouldn't let Yang Li die there in vain because of love and reason?What's more, what the Nangong army sent back was... Ashes.

Liu Yuehua thought about it several times, but she didn't dare to say a word to provoke the emperor, she just kept silent.Wait and see what's going on in the rivers and lakes; now that Nanjun has all been included in the bag, many officials and people have been sent to reclaim the land and educate the aborigines. It is not difficult to go there and check carefully.

The eldest princess's clothes disappeared behind the door, Liu Yueying couldn't hold on any longer, she fell headfirst on the imperial table, her hands tightly touching her chest.The overwhelming feeling of suffocation surged up again, and the number of times in the past few days has been countless. The cold sweat on the head appeared layer after layer, and then was wiped away.

The body that had been treated by Mu Diezhi, and the body that had been carefully adjusted by Yang Li for so long, began to ache all over from the day she found out about her accident, from head to chest, to all limbs, but she masochistically said nothing to anyone. , no one told, alone endured the dizziness and suffocation one after another - she was gone, who else would care?

Who else would hold her in the palm of his hand and take care of her?

So, no matter how painful it is, no matter how painful it is, who should I show it to?

Pulled out of the dark quagmire by her, he fell into the quagmire again, deeper and colder.

This tattered body, don't mind.

In September of the first year of Yuanqing, the Xing army completely wiped out the remaining forces of the Nanman, and all the land of the Nanman was returned to the Daxing territory.At this point, the Northern Qiang and Nanman who had troubled Daxing for 63 years were completely wiped out—all the tribes in the Northern Qiang grassland bowed their heads and surrendered, all the original land of the Nanman was reorganized into Nanyang County, and Daxing completed the true unification.

In the same month, Emperor Lingkong conferred the title of former Prime Minister of the Right, Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, and Yang Li, a military commander of the Xingjun Army, as the emperor's husband. When the government and the public were in an uproar, the Emperor insisted on burying him in Jialing and ordering the whole country to mourn for one month.

In December of the first year of Yuanqing, the Daxing Dynasty was renamed the Daxing Dynasty. The emperor led his relatives and important officials to the altar and temple to worship the ancestors.

Xingshuang has changed repeatedly, and the world is full of wind and moon.

Something happened when I went to the altar and temple to worship the ancestors, whether it was big or small.
