cold hearted son-in-law

Civil servants of the third rank or above, military officials of the fifth rank or above, and the wives of the fifth rank or above, after hearing the funeral in the early morning of the 25th, went to Huaning Palace in plain clothes and entered the ceremony in mourning clothes. For linen shoes, gold, silver, beads, emerald jewelry and heavy make-up should not be used.All the other civil and military officials were sent to the Huayuan Temple to stop their mourning after [-] days of vigil from the day they became obliged.

In the Huaning Palace, the mourning sounds of the princes and princesses were accompanied by the sound of bells, drums and sacrificial music, and the entire Huaning Palace was filled with mourning and desolation.

Chu Yunxi accompanied the eldest princess to kneel in front of the Zi Palace to watch the spirit.The eldest princess was dressed in filial piety, but within a few days, she had become thin and haggard, her eyes were swollen, her expression was sad, and her spirit was listless.

"Princess, I have been guarding for more than ten days. Go back and rest. Your health is important. The queen will feel distressed when she sees His Highness like this in heaven." Chu Yunxi knelt behind her and persuaded her softly. , but kept scolding the emperor in his heart.

What Renzong?Just blindly seeking immortals and practicing alchemy, ignoring the government, not observing the suffering of the people and not listening to the advice of his ministers, selfish and arrogant, a foolish king who likes extravagance and seeks longevity!The villain is in charge of the government, the border is uneasy, and he just kneels and begs for peace. The century-old prosperous country has collapsed in his hands.Yu Guo is fatuous, and Yu's family is also cold.The last time the queen was seriously ill, Chu Yunxi went to the palace overnight for treatment, but the emperor did not appear.This time the queen's funeral, in addition to ordering a grand funeral, also came several times.And every time he came, he was surrounded by all the ministers and relatives, with a sad expression on his face, but his eyes were as indifferent as that of the second prince who was kneeling, without the sadness of conjugal love.

Chu Yunxi sighed in his heart that the Tian family's love is weak, they only acted in front of people, and did not miss the old love, and then looked at the silent and sad eldest princess.

"Eldest princess, let's go back to rest first. Now is the critical time, and the eldest princess must be stronger. I will be sent to Linghuayuan Temple in a few days. If I don't rest, my body won't be able to hold on." Chu Yunxi stared blankly and knelt. The eldest princess, who was sleeping, closed her tired eyes, feeling a little helpless.She also accompanied Ling who had been guarding for several days. Some people in the court said that it was not in accordance with the rules. After all, she was a newlywed, so the red and white on her body might conflict.But guarding the spirit is filial piety, all good filial piety comes first, and everyone can't stop it. Chu Yunxi devoted himself to accompany the eldest princess, taking care of her as hard as she could, remembering the queen's entrustment back then.

"My palace is fine, the son-in-law will go back to the mansion for a rest first, and I will take care of everything in the mansion." The eldest princess was indifferent and distant, but looking sideways at Chu Yunxi, her eyes were intertwined with sadness and complexity.

"Go back first, Yunxi has something to tell His Highness." Chu Yunxi said with a soft sigh.If in the past, if you met such a stubborn and stubborn person, it would be so beautiful to let the beauty cry, and you didn't have the patience to persuade him, maybe you wouldn't even take a second look, and left gracefully.But now, this nominal 'wife' is showing the fragility of being sad, haggard and crying silently, but Chu Yunxi can't bear it in his heart, and the rare feeling of pity wells up, and the rare kind and soft words persuade her to comfort her grief.

"Urgent?" The eldest princess looked at Chu Yunxi seriously and asked.

Chu Yunxi nodded, stood up and went to help Princess Chang's arm.The eldest princess glanced at her wearily. Chu Yunxi's eyes were bloodshot, his face was sallow, he was dressed in filial piety, his hair was tied up in white cloth, and his expression was sad.The eldest princess stood up with her, and the two returned to the son-in-law's mansion without a word.

Inside the Prince Consort's Mansion, all red is removed, white cages are hung high, and the wind blows in the end of winter, creating a desolate scene.

"Eat something, I'll make it." Chu Yunxi brought in a bowl of plain noodles for the eldest princess after washing.White noodles and clear soup, with a few slices of green vegetables and shallots floated up, it is simple, but also fragrant.It's just that the eldest princess didn't like it, she shook her head and looked at Chu Yunxi, signaling Chu Yunxi to speak directly.

"It is rumored that the Hu people's grassland in the west has suffered from snow disasters. The continuous heavy snow, low temperature, and food shortages have caused countless cattle and sheep to freeze to death, causing heavy losses. In the spring, they may invade the border to plunder money and grain. There are also snow disasters in the six border states. You, Jia, and Jing three Disaster victims have begun to appear in the state and need to be appeased. But Shi disappeared without a word, I think... I want to go to Huzhou to check in person in a few days." Chu Yunxi spoke cautiously in a discussing tone while watching the eldest princess's expression.

"Where is the news about the son-in-law?" The eldest princess looked at Chu Yunxi and asked lightly. Seeing that Chu Yunxi didn't answer, she sighed and said: "My palace has sent people to search secretly, and the son-in-law is waiting for news in Beijing. Now the six border states I can't go there."

"Princess, I know it's not right to go to Huzhou at this time, but I have to go. One is the history of the disappearance, and the other is the case of the parents. The princess believes in me, and I will never do anything to hurt the princess. Huzhou is not for avoiding the capital. It's just that relying on others is worse than relying on oneself, time waits for no one, and if it is delayed, I don't know what will happen, please help me, the eldest princess." Chu Yunxi said sincerely to the eldest princess.

"Let me think about it." The eldest princess supported the table with her hands, closed her eyes and pressed her temples lightly with one hand.

Seeing her like this, Chu Yunxi opened his mouth, then closed it silently.

"Go to bed and lie down." After Chu Yunxi finished speaking, he put away the bowls and chopsticks and took them out. The eldest princess didn't open her eyes to see her and didn't respond.

Chu Yunxi didn't take it seriously, and went outside for a while.Until Chu Yunxi came in again, the eldest princess still looked the same, Chu Yunxi hurriedly approached and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?" Asking, she stretched out her hand to feel her pulse.

At this moment, the eldest princess opened her eyes slightly, looked at Chu Yunxi, let her feel the pulse and relaxed as if she was relieved, then the eldest princess said: "It's just that I'm too sleepy, I fell asleep sitting up, don't be too nervous. "

"Go to bed and lie down." Chu Yunxi casually took the hand of the eldest princess and led her into the room.That was their new house when they got married, and now there is no trace of red, only a white bear skin is spread on it, and a white quilt is on top.

Chu Yunxi casually took off the eldest princess to only her underwear, and except for her shoes and socks, she raised her head and looked at the bed, signaling to go to bed and lie down.

The eldest princess didn't say anything, let alone asked anyone to come in to serve her. She looked at Chu Yunxi calmly and let Chu Yunxi take off her coat and untie her long hair.Seeing Chu Yunxi climbing onto the dragon and phoenix bed and kneeling beside him, his eyes turned cold.

"Princess, I'll give you a massage. Don't worry, I don't have any bad thoughts now." Chu Yunxi smiled lightly, and it was fleeting.

The eldest princess did not speak, and silently turned her body on the bear fur blanket. Chu Yunxi carefully picked up her long hair like ink and put it aside, carefully massaged her, combined with the acupuncture points on her body, especially the kneeling ones. long knee.

Both of them were silent, and just when Chu Yunxi thought that the eldest princess was asleep, and she was half asleep and half awake, and her hands gradually stopped, the eldest princess turned to look back at her.

Looking at each other, Chu Yunxi froze for a moment, then turned his head to avoid it.The eldest princess took a piece of suet white jade jade pendant the size of a pigeon egg from her neck, got up and approached Chu Yunxi, and put it on for her with her own hands. Chu Yunxi looked at her in surprise.

"It was given to Mingyue by the empress mother. It can keep you safe. The imperial brother Chengqian also has a piece. Go if you want, and remember to come back safely." The eldest princess is gentle and considerate, and Chu Yunxi was stunned for a moment by all kinds of tenderness. When she recovered, her eyes met , Chu Yunxi solemnly nodded and promised: "I will definitely come back."

A few days later, on the twelfth day of the second month, Chu Yunxi accompanied the Eldest Princess to the Zi Palace to Huayuan Temple, where she stayed for three years according to the rules.Then he went back home to pack his things and prepare to leave.

The imperial decree has been issued, ordering Chu Yunxi to be the imperial envoy to inspect the snow disaster situation at the border, and also ordered to go to the six border states to help him with all his strength, and not to be despised by the son-in-law.

"Going by order this time, don't act recklessly. Take the green bamboo and be careful." The eldest princess did not send Chu Yunxi out of the city, but when Chu Yunxi was preparing things to say goodbye, the eldest princess who was busy in the study secretly handed over a message. Seeing Jun's gold medal, Ling Ru told her carefully again.

"Well, I know how to measure, wait for me to come back. Also, this is for you." Chu Yunxi handed over a cyan kit.

"What is this?" The eldest princess took it and asked softly, but was stopped when she tried to open it.

"It's my secret, which is about life and death. I think it's right to tell you, but I haven't found a good time to tell you. So I wrote it down and put it in it for you. If something happens to me , you just open it and read it, if I come back safely, I will tell you everything myself." Chu Yunxi looked at the eldest princess and said seriously.

The eldest princess clenched the kit in her hand, and nodded in confusion and anxiety.Chu Yunxi smiled at her, turned around and left without looking back.

Outside the city, Xiao Yichen saw him off, as if he had suddenly aged more than ten years. When he saw Chu Yunxi, he smiled wryly and said, "I have been working hard to treat him these years, but I still haven't fulfilled my father's last wish."

"What are your plans for the future?" Chu Yunxi asked him.

"I'm going to resign from the Imperial Hospital. My father failed to find the medicine, so I will try to find someone. If the evil doctor is dead, I will go to the ends of the world to find his apprentice. I must see if there is any antidote that can solve this problem. Strange poison." Xiao Yichen said firmly, looking into the distance.

Chu Yunxi knew that this had become his obsession, and he couldn't persuade him. He also hoped that he could leave the turbulent capital, so he nodded and said, "The sea of ​​people is so vast, how difficult is it to find someone? Rebirth, no solution, and broken heart may be the things that restrain each other, you can look for it."

Xiao Yichen nodded, Chu Yunxi said no more, cupped his hands and said "Take care", he greeted Qingzhu, and left with a group of guards.He was stopped before he had walked half a mile.

"Li Mo, why are you here?" Li Mo drove his car across the middle of the road.

"Why don't you know I'll be there when you go back to Huzhou?" Li Mo asked while sitting in the driving seat, frowning with his white eyebrows in his arms.

"Don't tell me you already know it? This fox is quite familiar to you!" Chu Yunxi looked at the white fox in his arms.

"It will be familiar after feeding for a while. I also want to go home to visit my parents, let's go together." Li Mo looked at Chu Yunxi and said, staring into her eyes.

"Really? More sensible than people?" Chu Yunxi pretended not to hear, holding the rein of the horse, trying to squeeze past his car.

"What do you mean?" Li Mo looked at her, then at the group of people behind her, suddenly laughed, and said, "Foxes are indeed more sensible than people."

"Why are you blocking the road? If you want to go back, just go back, don't follow me." Chu Yunxi didn't argue with him, the road could squeeze through, but was annoyed by Li Mo's mocking smile, and stopped impatiently want to chase people away.

"Mrs. Hua sent it to the Zhuangyuan Mansion, and I sent it to you. Don't you go together? Okay, then I won't give it to you." Li Mo was dressed in green, holding a golden lacquered peony envelope.

Chu Yunxi looked at Li Mo, who was dressed similarly to her, and felt a little awkward in his heart.

Since Li Mo said that sentence on New Year's Eve, she avoided him, and Li Mo didn't attend the wedding, which was exactly what she wanted.From now on, she will live in the son-in-law's mansion, and Li Mo will live in the Zhuangyuan's mansion, and both will be safe.Later, Li Mo raised Baimei in the Zhuangyuan Mansion openly and aboveboard, and Mrs. Hua sent letters to the Zhuangyuan Mansion several times. Since Chu Yunxi knew about this, the eldest princess knew better, but Chu Yunxi was not good at blocking it, and Li Mo can not be driven out.I could only write a letter to Li Mo twice, telling him not to be tricked by Chinese and American people, but Li Mo ignored her at all.Inexplicably, the two pretended not to know each other at first.

But this time Li Mo suddenly insisted on going to Huzhou with her, Chu Yunxi was naturally unwilling.As soon as the horse passed by, Mrs. Hua didn't want the envelope, so she rushed to Huzhou in a hurry.
