Chapter 77

On the second day of November in the second year of Qianwu, Emperor Pei Yi, who had been ill for nearly three months, passed away at the age of 29.

According to the edict of Emperor Qianwu, Prince Pei Zhen, who was only 11 years old at the time, came to the throne, the emperor was named Zhengxiao, and the prime minister Wei Yan was named Minister of Gu Ming, who temporarily took charge of the government on behalf of the young emperor until the young emperor came of age.

Emperor Qianwu's righteous son, King Xiang Ji Nianxu asked himself to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, and accompanied Emperor Qianwu.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiahe felt his eyes go dark, and immediately passed out on the ground.

Du Yuee was startled, and immediately threw away the broom and rushed into the store, asking the two customers to help Shen Jiahe onto a chair beside her, and then pinched him vigorously, Shen Jiahe opened his eyes after a long while.Only then did Du Yue'e heave a sigh of relief, thanked the two customers, asked them to leave, then closed the shop door, and returned to Shen Jiahe's side, only to see that his face was as pale as paper, his eyes were filled with tears, but they did not fall. down.

Du Yue'e had never seen him in such grief, her heart ached, and she said softly: "What did they say to you? They made you so sad."

Shen Jiahe shook his head lightly, closed his eyes, forced back the tears, and whispered: "I'm fine, don't worry."

How could Du Yue'e not be worried about him like this, but she understood his temperament, if he didn't want to speak, no matter how others asked him, he would not speak up.She was helpless, so she didn't ask any more questions, she just said: "Since you are not feeling well, don't open the shop today, just sit down for a while, I will go and ask Shao Yuan to take us back." She just walked away.

Shen Jiahe sat alone in the scholar's studio, his body was icy cold, without a trace of warmth, his heart was full of thoughts, and the pain was unbearable.

Tears finally welled up in my eyes.He buried his face in his palms, tears spilled from between his fingers, and he whimpered loudly.

I don't know who the tears are shedding for.

When Du Yuee came back with Shao Yuan, Shen Jiahe had already calmed down.

Shao Yuan said a few words of concern, but Shen Jiahe just said it was fine.

On the way back, the sky started to snow.

It has been snowing since Lidong, and he can't remember how many snows this year.

Suddenly he remembered that the day of parting was also filled with snow. He leaned against the door and watched Pei Yi's back gradually drift away, disappearing into the depths of the wind and snow.

Niannian's soft and soft voice calling him "Daddy Shen" faintly sounded in his ears again, each and every sound was heartbreaking.

Shen Jiahe clenched his fists tightly, his nails were embedded in his flesh, and he felt a sharp pain.

He closed his eyes, unwilling to shed tears in front of Du Yuee, but the red corners of his eyes betrayed him.

But Du Yue'e didn't make a sound, she was distressed and confused, not knowing what happened, she wanted to comfort her but she couldn't speak.

Not long after, the carriage stopped at the door of the house.

After getting out of the car, Du Yuee said: "How about asking Dr. Shen to come over and show you?"

Shen Jiahe shook his head and said: "No, I'm fine, I'll be fine after a short rest, you really don't have to worry."

Du Yuee sighed and said, "That's fine."

Shao Yuan said: "You have a good rest, I will come to see you again in the evening."

Shen Jiahe gave a "hmm" and said, "Let's go, don't stand here and get wet in the snow."

The two left together.

When Shen Jiahe returned home, he took off his outer robe, kicked off his cotton boots, got into the bed like an ice cellar, wrapped the quilt tightly and curled up into a ball, shivering uncontrollably.

He was too cold, he had never felt so cold, as if the blood all over his body was frozen.

He forced himself to fall asleep, maybe when he woke up, he would find that all this was just a dream.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Jiahe finally fell asleep, but fell into a chaotic dream.

Sometimes he dreamed of his parents dying tragically, sometimes he dreamed of chasing and laughing with Pei Yi, sometimes he dreamed that Pei Yi tortured him and bullied him, sometimes he dreamed of Nian Nian playing in the golden wheat field, sometimes he dreamed of Pei Yi fighting on the battlefield, sometimes he dreamed of Pei Yi pinched his neck angrily and shouted: "Shen Jiahe, you are so cruel, you don't even come to see me after I die! I will haunt you as a ghost, and I will never let you go!"

Shen Jiahe woke up suddenly.

He sat up in shock, sweating profusely, his chest heaving violently, and he was gasping for breath.

The light in the house was dim, obviously it was getting late.

Shen Jiahe struggled to get out of bed, feeling his limbs were sore and weak, he staggered to the table, picked up the teapot, poured out only half a cup of herbal tea, picked up the teacup and poured it into his mouth, his burning throat felt a little better.

He got up and came to the window, stretched out his hand and pushed the window open, only to see a vast expanse of whiteness, just like his heart at the moment.

The snow is still falling, and I don't know when it will fall.

Suddenly remembered what Pei Yi said in his dream.

Maybe...he should go to Xunyang.

But what if we go?The imperial mausoleum is an important place for the royal family, and it is guarded by heavy soldiers, so he can't even get close to it.

But still want to go.Even if you can't worship them, even if you just go to Xunyang, you can feel at ease.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard someone calling him, it was Shao Yuan's voice, Shen Jiahe said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Shao, you can just come in, the gate is not locked."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the door of the house, pulled the latch and opened the door, the wind and snow rushed towards his face, and Shao Yuan had already come close.

"Go in quickly," Shao Yuan said, "It's windy and snowy, don't freeze anymore."

Shen Jiahe retreated into the room, watched Shao Yuan come in, and closed the door behind him.

"Why isn't there a charcoal stove?" Shao Yuan frowned, "It's as cold as ice in the room."

Shen Jiahe was busy going to light the stove, Shao Yuan stopped him hurriedly and said, "Sit down, I'll be reborn."

Shen Jiahe stepped aside, watched Shao Yuan busy, was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Brother Shao, can you send me to Xunyang?"

Shao Yuan was choked by the smoke and coughed endlessly. He waited until the cough stopped before he said, "Okay, when are we leaving?"

Shen Jiahe said: "Tomorrow."

Shao Yuan said: "Okay, pack up tonight, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

Shen Jiahe was silent for a moment, and said: "Don't you ask me why I am going to Xunyang suddenly?"

Shao Yuan smiled and said: "Of course you have your reasons. If you want to talk about it, you will tell me. If you don't want to talk about it, I can't ask more questions. Just go with you."

Shen Jiahe said: "Thank you, Brother Shao."

Shao Yuan said: "My brother, what are you being polite about?"

The charcoal stove is ready.

Smoke escaped from the open windows, and the cold was gradually replaced by warmth.

"You must not have eaten yet?" Shao Yuan said, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Shen Jiahe said: "No need, I will do it myself later."

Shao Yuan rolled up his sleeves and said, "Although my cooking skills are not as good as yours, it's not bad, and it's not hard to swallow."

Shen Jiahe knew that he couldn't resist him, so he could only say: "Then let's have a bowl of noodles in clear soup."

Shao Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, just wait and eat."

Shao Yuan went to work in the kitchen.

Shen Jiahe sat by the charcoal stove in a daze, until Shao Yuan came in with a bowl of noodles before he came back to his senses.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Shen Jiahe said.

"My mother had already cooked when I came." Shao Yuan put the noodle bowl in front of him, handed him the chopsticks, and said, "You eat yours, I'll go back and eat later."

Shen Jiahe took the chopsticks silently, took a sip of the soup, ate a piece of noodles, raised his head and said, "It's delicious."

Shao Yuan smiled and said, "There's still some in the pot, I'll fill it up for you after I finish eating."

Shen Jiahe said: "Okay."

After eating the noodles, Shao Yuan went to wash the dishes and wash the pot, but Shen Jiahe couldn't stop him, so he had to let him.

When everything was ready, Shao Yuan said: "There is hot water in the pot, you can wash your feet later before going to bed, your body will be much warmer."

Shen Jiahe said: "Yes."

Shao Yuan said: "Then I'll go back and pick you up tomorrow morning."

Shen Jiahe said: "Okay."

Shao Yuan said: "Follow me to bolt the courtyard door, it's not safe when it's dark."

Shen Jiahe sent Shao Yuan to the door, watched him go away, then closed the door, bolted it, stepped on the snow to the kitchen, scooped up a basin of hot water, just sat down and was about to take off his boots, when he heard a knock on the door, He thought it was Shao Yuan who had left and returned, so he hurriedly got up and went to open the door.

But when he saw the person standing outside the door in the wind and snow with the faint sky light, Shen Jiahe opened his mouth as if struck by lightning, but couldn't say a word.
