The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 151 Death
In the back garden of Prince Yong's Mansion, on the corridor leading to Peach Blossom Island in the middle of the lake, there are two women walking at this moment.

Behind the two of them, seven or eight maids and eunuchs followed, and the scene was unusually large.

Walking ahead, admiring the scenery of lakes and mountains around, Xue Baoyun asked with a smile: "Sister Shiyun, why are you so unhappy today?"

Three months ago, on Jiufan Road, when the royal team was resting near Yuntang Mountain, they met Hou Shiyun who had returned from the Wolong Temple pilgrimage.

It was also because of Hou Shiyun's introduction that Xue Baojun let Huang Rongrong push Zhao Yanxun to go to Wolong Temple.

Later, when he arrived in Yuanyang, because the officials were absent from the palace pilgrimage, Xue Baoyun cut off contact with all the female family members of the government.

The only one who can be called into the palace to speak is "old acquaintance" Hou Shiyun.

Because both of them have the word "Yun" in their names, they also dated sisters in private.

Asked by Xue Baojun, Hou Shiyun showed a very reluctant smile, and sighed: "I'm bothered by my sister's concern, my little sister is worried about family affairs!"

Nodding his head, Xue Baojun asked, "But what's the shortage at home? Tell my sister if you have any difficulties!"

Regardless of the power structure of the palace, Xue Baoyun basically has no sense of presence, but he is a serious princess after all.

Now all the food and materials in the city are under the management of the treasury manager under the jurisdiction of the Wangfu Chief Shisi.

As a dignified concubine, Xue Baoyun only needs to send someone to say hello, and it is easy to send some food to help the Hou family.

"Thank you sister, no... nothing!" Hou Shiyun said with a smile.

Although she smiled on her face, her heart was extremely bitter.

Her father was already in danger and could die at any time, but Hou Shiyun could only go to the palace to accompany Xue Baoyun to watch the lotus under the order of the palace.

This was not her intention, but both her mother and elder brother decided to send her to the palace, just for fear of offending the princess.

Looking at the wonderful scenery around, compared with the tragic image outside, this place can be called a fairyland on earth.

In the past, Hou Shiyun would definitely be willing to stay here and talk about poetry and songs with Xue Baoyun, but today she is really not in the mood.

In fact, just looking at Hou Shiyun's expression at the moment, Xue Baoyun knew something must have happened.

"Sister Shiyun, what happened, can't even my sister say it?" Xue Baoyun frowned.

Pressed by Xue Baoyun, Hou Shiyun finally couldn't help but tell the truth: "Sister, my father is in danger at home, and I miss my sister..."

Hearing the truth, Xue Baoyun finally understood, and then she straightened her face and said: "In this case, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Seeing Xue Baoyun's tone, Hou Shiyun was so frightened that she trembled all over, if she offended Princess Yong, she would be finished.

"Polygonatum!"

"The servant is here!"

"Use my carriage to send Miss Shiyun home!"

"The slaves obey!"

Holding Hou Shiyun's hand, Xue Baoyun said with pity: "It's my sister who is wrong, she summoned you because she didn't know the truth, hurry up and go home to be with father!"

Xue Baoyun was so understanding and reasonable that Hou Shiyun was so moved that tears fell down.

"Thank you sister!"

Next, Hou Shiyun was led out of the garden under Yu Zhu's leadership.

On the corridor, only Xue Baoyun was left standing alone at this moment, and she was also tainted with some sadness at this moment.

Now monsters are rampant outside, which makes her very concerned about her parents who are far away in the capital, and she doesn't know whether it is safe in the capital.

…………

Besides, Hou Shiyun, riding in the carriage of the palace, returned to the Hou's mansion under the escort of the guards.

Seeing that Hou Shiyun came back in the imperial concubine's phoenix chariot, those "careful people" gathered around the Hou's mansion once again changed their views on the status of the Hou family.

It seems that if the Hou Mansion really has the possibility of rising in the future, it has to take advantage of the current opportunity to curry favor.

Besides, when Hou Shiyun got out of the carriage, a group of people greeted her at home, they all thought it was the princess who came.

But when she saw Hou Shiyun getting off the car, her mother, Mrs. Zhang, seemed a little disappointed.

"Yun'er, why are you back?" Zhang asked slightly dissatisfied.

"Mother, my father is seriously ill, and my daughter came back to serve the decoction!" Hou Shiyun said helplessly.

Mrs. Zhang sighed, and said, "Since you're back, you should also go and watch over the master's bed!"

Although the Zhang family attaches great importance to the relationship with the palace, since Hou Shiyun has returned, it is impossible for him to send his daughter back to the palace.

After entering the house, Hou Shiyun went straight to the backyard, where Hou Yunhe recuperated.

All along, Hou Yunhe's health was not very good, and he took medicine to recuperate all the time.

Originally, he planned to return to his hometown to recuperate due to his illness, but after he fell ill a month ago, he never got up again.

On the sick bed, Hou Yunhe was skinny and skinny, and looked extremely creepy.

"It's strange, it's obviously so weak, but the heartbeat is so fast... It's unheard of!"

The doctor who saw the doctor muttered in a low voice, but it was still heard by Hou Yuanliang, the eldest son of Hou's family.

"Doctor, how long can my father last?" Hou Yuanliang asked.

"Young master, maybe we won't make it through tonight!" The doctor said cautiously.

But the fact is that Hou Yunhe may die almost at any time.

At this moment, Hou Yunhe opened his eyes and turned to look at his son.

"What time is it now?" Hou Yunhe asked, although his voice was weak, he spoke clearly.

Seeing his father speak, Hou Yuanliang quickly crawled to the bedside, and replied: "Father, it's the first quarter of noon, how do you feel?"

Knowing that his time was running out, Hou Yunhe asked, "Outside, what's the situation now?"

"Father, everything is safe outside, the monster didn't rush into the city to cause trouble!"

Hou Yunhe nodded slightly, and reached out to grab his son, but he lost his direction for a moment.

Hou Yuanliang took the initiative to grab his father's hand, but Hou Yunhe just held it.

"father……"

"Father is dying soon, after I die...you must take good care of this family, take good care of your mother and sister!"

Hou Yunhe's words became faster and faster, and it was obvious that this was a flashback.

And the later he said, the tighter he held his son's hand, and his whole body became distorted.

"Be sure to take good care of..."

Hou Yuanliang burst into tears, and replied again and again: "My son remembers it all, remembers it all!"

"Must live..."

These were Hou Yunhe's last words. Feeling his father's clenched hand becoming weak, Hou Yuanliang accepted the fact of his father's death.

"Father!" A wail resounded inside and outside the room.

But at this moment, Hou Shiyun just walked outside the door, and when she heard the crying of her elder brother inside, her tears also fell.

"father!"

After rushing into the house, seeing her father who was still lifeless on the bed, Hou Shiyun burst into tears.

She has been favored by her father since she was a child, which made the father and daughter have a deep relationship, so much so that Hou Shiyun fainted from crying at this moment.

"Help Miss back to the boudoir!" Hou Yuanliang stood up.

Now that he has become the head of the family, he naturally has to assume corresponding responsibilities.
