Qing Yan

The empress dowager passed away, and the whole country mourned.

Yu Wenrui personally burialed the Empress Dowager, and the Zi Palace was parked in the Shoukang Palace. She stopped court for three days, and together with Jing Yan kept watch for the Empress Dowager.

Yu Wenrui had never met her biological mother, and her adoptive mother, Mrs. Yun, had passed away long before she could remember.She has been in the palace since she was eight years old. Although she was raised by Jing Yan most of the time, in the past ten years, especially when she was young, the Empress Dowager did give her a lot of maternal love that she had never experienced before.

From food, clothing, housing and transportation to daily expenses, the Empress Dowager always thought about the children's preferences and tried her best to follow her temperament.Every time they eat together, they watch Yu Wenrui lovingly chewing and chewing, as if they have been greatly satisfied.

Faintly, Yu Wenrui already regarded her as his mother.Even though later, Yu Wenrui went against the Queen Mother's wishes and forced her to be with Jing Yan, which made the Queen Mother furious, but that was another matter, and it did not prevent Yu Wenrui from loving her from the bottom of his heart.

Now, this person who used to treat her kindly, who once loved her, and who was once furious with her because of emotional matters, just left forever like this.Yu Wenrui felt really uncomfortable. She knelt in front of the Empress Dowager's Zigong, her eyes were red, she looked at the huge tablet on the case, on which the empress dowager's posthumous title was repeatedly written——

However, what about more and more gorgeous posthumous titles?This Shoukang Palace has been empty ever since.

Jing Yan knelt nearly ten feet away from her, such a distance made Yu Wenrui more and more depressed.

Since the day the Empress Dowager passed away, when Jing Yan pushed open the heavy door and announced the sad news, it was as if her soul had been taken away from her.

At that moment, Yu Wenrui's body was faster than her mind, and she almost rushed out to hug Jing Yan's body that might fall.However, fortunately, after Jing Yan said that in a hoarse voice, he did not pass out due to weakness or loss of emotional control.

Yu Wenrui made a false alarm, and the pain and sadness caused by the death of the Empress Dowager invaded her instantly.When she regained her composure, she was surprised to see that Jing Yan had already ordered the palace staff to prepare for the funeral in an orderly manner.

Yu Wenrui secretly scolded himself for being "young and ignorant".

She is the emperor, so she is naturally the one who should bear the most responsibility for the empress dowager's funeral. No matter out of etiquette or selfishness, she has no reason to ask Jing Yan to bear it for her.

Her original intention was to focus on herself and attend the funeral together with Jing Yan.Unexpectedly, he was repeatedly ignored by Jing Yan——

Jing Yan ordered the palace servants to do this and that in an orderly manner, and whenever Yu Wenrui talked to her, she was indifferent.There is an inexplicable aura between the two of them, but Yu Wenrui doesn't like this kind of "tacit understanding" under Jing Yan's cold face at all.

For two consecutive days, Yu Wenrui peeked from the sidelines, and found that Jing Yan's face was becoming more and more pale and bloodless, and his delicate figure was about to shrink into a piece of paper.Yu Wenrui was worried that the wind was too strong, so instead of blowing out the candles in the mourning hall, Jing Yan was blown away instead.

According to the etiquette of the Great Zhou Dynasty, only cold food can be served during the vigil for filial sons to show the grief of bereavement.However, even the cold food for three meals a day, Jing Yan could only eat three or two mouthfuls, so he stopped eating.

Yu Wenrui even doubted how she got down after several days and nights.

At the beginning, being ignored by Jing Yan, Yu Wenrui wondered whether Jing Yan was caught off guard by the sudden death of the Empress Dowager, so that she was out of her mind. After all, she herself was stunned by this tragedy.But after thinking about it, it wasn't true.

Yu Wenrui had to wonder if the Empress Dowager said something that Jing Yan couldn't bear before she died that day, and the words were related to herself.

I didn't think about it, but the more I thought about it, the more Yu Wenrui felt like this, his mind was uneasy, and he didn't even know what was going on in his mind when he was mourning.

Finally, after three days, according to the rituals of the Great Zhou, the filial son does not have to watch the spirit every night.

At dawn, Jing Yan was about to leave Shoukang Palace supported by Bing Bi and Shi Mo.

Seeing that she was walking and walking, Yu Wenrui had reached the point where she didn't even say hello to him, and the resentment in her heart was even worse, so she stood up and followed closely.

Outside the Shoukang Palace, Shen Quan had received the empress dowager's guard of honor and was waiting.His eyes were very sharp, and he saw the queen mother being helped out by a maid from a distance, and not only that, but also the emperor who said "I am not happy" behind her.

Shen Quan shrank his neck, he served Yu Wenrui since he was a child, and he knew this master's temper very well.Seeing the empress dowager's indifference to the emperor these few days, he guessed that the little ancestor must be unhappy.He can't get involved in the affairs of the two masters, but it's not good for him to see the emperor chasing after him and not remind the queen mother.

"Master..." Shen Quan said his words carefully, "Your Majesty, she...is behind..."

I'm following you!

Jing Yan seemed to have never heard this sentence at all, nor did he have Yu Wenrui in his heart at all, and said calmly: "Go back to the palace."

Shen Quan: "..."

Good luck to you, my lord!

Yu Wenrui watched helplessly as the Empress Dowager got on the chariot and left without touching the ground. The guard of honor followed closely behind and disappeared around the corner in a blink of an eye.She almost jumped up with rage.

A cavity of resentment immediately turned into fire of ignorance, so she threw off her steps and chased after him.

Wei Shun, who was not far away, was dumbfounded, opened his mouth for a long time, and forgot what he should say, and roared a voice in his heart: Your Majesty, Your Majesty!Your guard of honor is here!

Yu Wenrui's martial arts skills are high, and the tutorials are fast. Jing Yan's Fengjia just arrived at Kuntai Palace, and she chased him.

The palace people on duty in front of Kuntai Palace were also stunned: What is the situation?As soon as the empress dowager's master entered, the emperor... ran after him?

In view of a certain rumor in the palace, and in view of the majesty of the emperor, how dare they stop it?

Yu Wenrui broke into Kuntai Palace directly as if he had entered the land of no one, and went straight to Jing Yan's bedroom honestly and unceremoniously.

In the dormitory, Jing Yan had just changed into a filial piety, and he was not breathing well. As soon as the door opened, he saw Yu Wenrui, a little friend standing at the door, frowning, looking at her without saying a word.

Jing Yan's heart tightened when she looked at her, so he simply turned around and didn't look at her.

Bing Bi and Shi Mo looked at each other: Why do you feel like your sword is on the verge of breaking out?

"You all go down first." Jing Yan said to Bing Bi and Shi Mo, her expression was still indifferent, which made Yu Wenrui worry.

The second servant girl responded "Yes" and carefully retreated to the side of the door, not forgetting to salute Yu Wenrui.

"What are you in a hurry for? My mother's heart is not stable. You should pay more attention to etiquette." Jing Yan glanced at Yu Wenrui, and there was no ups and downs in his voice.

It's all over the top, and you still care about etiquette!

Yu Wenrui gritted his teeth and stared at her.

But once she looked at him face to face, she found that Jing Yan was much thinner than she thought, with a gray face, as if he had not recovered from a serious illness.Yu Wenrui felt distressed when he saw it, and the anger in his belly could not help but dissipated a little.

"Have you been exhausted these days?" Yu Wenrui's voice could not help softening.No matter how much Jing Yan was indifferent to him before, when he really faced her, he still couldn't bear to blame her.

Jing Yan was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "Since Shi Ran is taking medicine, it's okay."

Yu Wenrui frowned even harder, "You still talk about medicine! You take more medicine than meals every day! No matter how busy or uncomfortable you are, you can't delay your meal!"

Her tone was full of distress, as if a sharp knife had pierced Jing Yan's chest.Jing Yan suddenly felt that it was much more difficult to breathe. On the one hand, there was Wuyou's unaffected care, and on the other hand...

That curse was like a tighter and tighter hoop around Jing Yan's head. Every time she thought about it, it gave her a splitting headache and her heart constricted into a ball.

"It's just that I don't have an appetite, so it's okay." Jing Yan suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and said calmly.

It's okay!It's okay!I knew you would say it's okay!

Yu Wenrui was very angry and distressed. She didn't take her body seriously, and even hated her for keeping everything in her heart. She would rather suffer in silence by herself than talk to herself.Is this the so-called "hair knot"!

Jing Yan felt a tightening of her wrist, and Yu Wenrui had already leaned forward in front of her and grabbed her wrist.

"Worriless!" Jing Yan shouted.

The heat from Yu Wenrui's body was so aggressive that it caught Jing Yan off guard?Being so close, Jing Yan felt that his psychological defense collapsed only in an instant.

Yu Wenrui stared at her angrily, but in fact, he didn't use much strength in his hands, just to ensure that Jing Yan couldn't break free.

"I want to check it myself, how is your body!" Yu Wenrui said, and followed up unwillingly, "Look at your face! What's the matter with you!"

Jing Yan's heart softened, his chest was so sore that he almost burst into tears.

She forced herself to calm down, breathed in, and said seriously: "Wuyou, mother empress Xinai, you can't..."

Yu Wenrui was so angry that her nose turned crooked, and he thought, can you find a better reason!

If Jing Yan still said "It's okay", Yu Wenrui might just check her pulse and let her go.However, after hearing this sentence, Yu Wenrui's calm anger rose again——

"In your eyes, I am such a person! Huh?" She was aggrieved for herself.

Holding Jing Yan's wrist, looking at the helplessness in her eyes, Yu Wenrui had an evil thought in his heart, and said without hesitation: "Then I will violate a ritual to show you, what do you think?"

"Impossible!" With strength from nowhere, Jing Yan struggled to be hurt by Yu Wenrui, and broke free from her restraints, but he staggered and fell to the ground.

Yu Wenrui was also unexpected, and rushed over to help her.

"Don't touch me!" Jing Yan shouted angrily.

Yu Wenrui's hands stopped in mid-air, neither advancing nor retreating, looking at her as if he didn't know Jing Yan, his eyes gradually filled with grievances.

Jing Yan felt very sad when he saw it, he turned his face away gently, and slowed down, "Wuyou...Leave me alone, is that okay?"

Seeing her helpless appearance, Yu Wenrui also felt sad, and wanted to tell her that he didn't mean to hurt her, but when the words came to his lips, it turned into unwillingness to be ignored: "You have to be bored in your heart! Can't you tell me!"

Jing Yan paused, and calmly said: "I don't have anything to say to you... I just want to be alone for a while..."

Yu Wenrui flung his sleeves away.

After a long time, Jing Yanfang regained his composure, raised his head, and found that Bingbi, Shimo, and Shen were all standing respectfully in front of her, as if they were a world apart.

"Master," Shen Quan said cautiously, "When His Majesty leaves, order the servants to wait on you, and don't... make you angry."

Jing Yan sighed silently: Wuyou, after all, it hurts her...

Thinking of this, the helplessness and pain in my heart seemed to have eased a bit, but the lump in my chest remained the same.

She looked at Shen Quan and said, "Go and invite the British prince."
