I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

The Crown Princess's eyes fell on them fiercely.

None of the maids dared to speak.

Emperor Hexu took the teacup in his hand and smashed it hard at the Crown Princess' feet.

The bouncing fragments slid across her fair skin.

Blood immediately flowed from her face.

The princess knelt down in horror.

His body trembled slightly; "Father, please listen to my explanation!"

Emperor Hexu spoke with a very cold expression, "Take him away first, send him to the Dali Temple, and interrogate him together with those rebels."

"No, father, I know I was wrong." The Crown Princess' face turned extremely pale and she kept shaking her head.

Finally, several maids came in from outside and took the Crown Princess away.

After the Crown Princess left, the maids dared to explain in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince passed away half a month ago. It was the Queen and the Crown Princess who didn't allow us to disclose this matter."

"Half a month!" Emperor Hexu's voice trembled a little, and he couldn't help but raise his voice a few tones.

"Yes, I also wanted to report secretly, but the Crown Princess would never let us go out of the courtyard. We had to wait on the Crown Prince's body every day."

"At first, we used ice to preserve the prince's body. After a while, the ice storage was surprised that we requested too much ice, so there were a few days when there was less ice."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's body began to emit a strange smell."

The maid raised her eyes carefully and glanced at Emperor Hexu.

Seeing that he didn't show much expression, she continued, "Later, the Crown Princess managed to get some ice from somewhere else, but it didn't last long."

"The Crown Princess was really at a loss, so she asked people to go out and invite some strange people into the palace, and then use their traditional methods to help preserve the body."

"The Crown Prince's body has already started to be infested with worms. You can only use the potion once. If you use it again, the body will soon turn into a pool of corpse water, with nothing left."

The maidservant looked at the prince, who had always been kind-hearted, and suffered such torture after his death, and tears flowed down her face in an instant.

"Your Majesty, you should arrange the funeral for the Crown Prince as soon as possible." The maid knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Emperor Hexu.

Emperor Hexu looked at the prince in front of him and felt even more relieved.

He raised his hand and signaled the maids to leave.

Outside.

Suddenly, an old man stood there.

Emperor Hexu and Xie Jingrui turned around at the same time.

Xie Jingrui recognized the old man as the one who handled the Crown Prince's corpse that night.

The old man walked forward neither humbly nor arrogantly, came to a place not far from Emperor Hexu, and knelt down to pay his respects.

Emperor Hexu looked at him in confusion; "What are you doing?"

Xie Jingrui carefully protected Emperor Hexu by his side, staring at him with vigilance.

The old man didn't care. He stretched out his hand towards the prince, and the poisonous snake slowly crawled out from inside the prince's clothes.

Then, he went in through the old man's sleeve.

After doing all this, the old man spoke in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, please build a coffin for the prince. I can help his body return to its original state, but it must be done as soon as possible."

He Xu looked at the other person in confusion; "Are you the old man who helped to deal with the corpse? Why didn't you run away? Do you know the consequences of this?"

"Your Majesty, I have lived a lonely life, I have nothing and I am not afraid of life or death. I did not leave because I just wanted to send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince off. His death was unusual. It is very difficult for people who die unjustly to be reincarnated."

The old man spoke in a mysterious voice.

He looked at Xie Jingrui standing aside, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

He moved his mouth, but finally swallowed back what he wanted to say.

This scene happened to be seen by Xie Jingrui.

Emperor Hexu was a Buddhist, and as he listened to the old man's words, he became a little nervous.

He asked, "How can we make him feel at ease on his journey?"

The old man gently stroked his graying beard and explained, "I will naturally make arrangements for this matter, but we will start announcing the death and setting up the mourning hall tonight."

Emperor Hexu did as the old man said.

I was just a little puzzled; "Prince, why did he die unjustly?"

"You'll have to ask the Crown Princess about this matter." The old man said in a soft voice.

Emperor Hexu's expression became worse and worse.

The coffin was quickly prepared and carried to the prince's palace.

The old men surrounded the prince and kept muttering to his corpse.

The prince's originally rotten body was slowly returning to normal, and then he suddenly sat up.

He got off the bed with stiff limbs, kowtowed three times in the direction of Emperor Hexu, and then quickly crawled into the coffin.

Emperor Hexu was surprised. Looking at the prince's behavior, he lowered his head and began to wipe away tears secretly.

The pallbearers stepped forward to lift the coffin, but with everyone's combined efforts, the coffin stayed firmly in place.

No intention of leaving at all.

The old man muttered to the bed, and then said, "Go, someone will naturally help you with your grievances, don't linger."

As he spoke, the old man knocked heavily on the coffin three times.

Then he turned to the people carrying the coffin and said, "Lift the coffin."

It took several people working together to lift the coffin.

Xie Jingrui supported Emperor Hexu and followed closely behind.

The mourning hall has been set up.

Those people who heard the bell put on mourning clothes and rushed to the palace.

Liu Yueru entered the palace with her father. When they arrived, all the rebels on the street had already been detained.

She looked at Xie Jingrui, Liu Fufeng and Liu Zimo, who had changed into plain clothes, from afar. Seeing that they were all fine, she finally felt relieved.

They lined up to burn incense and pay homage to the prince.

When it was Liu Yueru's turn to come forward.

The old man began to look at Liu Yueru with the same strange eyes.

Liu Yueru frowned slightly and looked back at the other person in confusion.

When the old man took the incense stick from Liu Yueru's hand, he whispered to her, "This young lady should not be alive anymore."

There was a hint of surprise in Liu Yueru's eyes, and she suddenly looked up to meet the old man's bright eyes.

The old man still had a gentle look on his face. He moved his mouth and then spoke, "But someone has pledged his life to ensure your safety in this lifetime."

"Who is it?" Liu Yueru asked in panic.

"Yue'er, don't listen to his nonsense." Xie Jingrui stepped forward, took Liu Yueru's hand, and took the incense stick from her hand.

Then he took her hand and walked aside.

The old man stared at the direction where the two of them left, and finally shook his head slightly.

He sighed, "What a sin!"

"Is there any way to solve it?" Liu Zimo stood beside the old man and asked with some concern on his face.

"Yes, yes!" the old man said subconsciously.

When he came to his senses, he looked back at Liu Zimo beside him, then realized that he had said the wrong thing. He turned aside and ignored him.
