On the way, they didn't deliberately talk to each other until their figure appeared in the east palace.
……
In a few days——
A hundred people of the Dai family were beheaded in public, and the scene was bloody. The people gathered round and round, but no one dared to speak.
Li Shiyuan personally supervised the chopping, until the last person's head fell, Li Shiyuan stood up and left leisurely, the atmosphere of the scene was suppressed to the extreme.
No one of the civil and military officials left out. They just watched the Dai family go to the beheading stage one by one. This is to set an example to the others, so that these civil and military officials no longer dare to have any different ideas. Otherwise, the Dai family is a lesson for them.
Until Li Shiyuan left, the atmosphere at the scene did not ease.
……
At that time, Mu Cen stood quietly in front of a graveyard in the outer suburbs. The slaves on the side didn't dare to get close to him. There was no name on the gravestone of the graveyard, just a stone.
But mu Cen knows clearly that this is Li Shili's tombstone.
She looked at it, then picked up the kerchief and wiped Li Shili's tombstone clean, but mu Cen didn't get up, just squatted.
"I didn't think that one day I would talk to you in this way." Mu Cen sighed silently, "when Princess Dai came to me, I never thought that you paid so much. But why do you have to. You didn't know that I was cruel. "
Mu Cen slowly closed his eyes: "you asked me if I would choose you if you came first. can't. Because the entanglement between me and him is not decided by first come and then come. Just as you don't regret what you've done, so do I
Around the wind slightly raised, it is a year into summer, the wind less that kind of cool feeling, but a little bit more cool. Mu Cen just squatted, her feet numb, but she didn't move, just looked at the tombstone.
For a long time, she slowly stood up: "you have a good rest here. I come to see you at this time of year. "
Then, without saying anything more, Mu Cen put the prepared fruit and dots in front of the tombstone, poured a cup of sake and sprinkled it on the loess. Mu Cen did all this by himself and didn't let anyone do it.
After everything was over, Mu Cen turned around, and Xia he had been waiting in the same place: "madam, let's go back to Mu Wangfu."
When Li Shiyuan decreed that the whole family would be killed, he also decreed that it would be ten days after the establishment of the imperial palace. Before the establishment of the Imperial Palace, Mu Cen would not be in the palace. Instead, he went back to the Luoxue building, where Mu Cen once lived.
Mu Cen said nothing.
When Xia he helped Mu Cen to go to the carriage, Li Shiyuan had already galloped. Mu Cen looked at Li Shiyuan. Li Shiyuan quickly got out of the carriage and walked in the direction of Mu Cen.
But he didn't mention anything about the relationship with Li Shili in the whole process, just the light from the corner of his eye inadvertently swept the things in front of the nameless tombstone, but Li Shiyuan didn't say anything in the end.
"I'll take you back to King Mu's house." Li Shiyuan spoke faintly.
Mu Cen said: "everything has been dealt with?"
"Well. The rest is Zhan Xiao and Shao Yun. " Li Shiyuan explained.
Neither of them asked about the specific process, but Li Shiyuan helped Mu Cen to get on the carriage, and then Li Shiyuan got on the carriage. The carriage was not fast, and slowly drove towards the direction of King Mu's house.
When the carriage was drifting away, behind the woods, a woman in white came out with a veil and looked at the unmanned tombstone in front of her quietly. Everything around her was more desolate. There were almost no people coming and going here, and there were not a few solitary graves on the side.
"She left you a whole body, even if you come to this, do you still like her?" The woman's voice is a little bleak, "you can only see her, but never see me?"
The only response to women is the sound of the breeze.
For a long time, the woman laughed with self mockery. Suddenly she reached out and bit her finger, and the blood flowed out. Then she wrote five big words on the wooden tombstone, namely "Tomb of Li Shili". Even if her finger was numb, the woman's action never stopped.
Until the last stroke, she was already in tears.
Then she stood quietly, looking at the tombstone, and her voice became more and more low: "so you won't blame me for what I do, will you?"
It was the wind, not the human voice, that still responded to her.
"Lord Li, I miss you so much." The woman's voice with a cry, very sad, even if veiled, she has long been full of tears.
I don't even know how long she just stood in front of the tombstone, and then she stood up: "Lord Li, I will come with you. You won't be here alone
With that, the woman looked at it affectionately for a long time, then slowly turned around and walked towards the depth of the forest.
Around the Loess flying, more and more desolate.
……
At that time——
Mu CEN is a little tired, so he holds his forehead with both hands. Li Shiyuan holds Mu Cen directly, so he takes Mu Cen into his arms and lets her lean on his chest.
"If you are tired, take a rest." Li Shiyuan answered.
Mu Cen made a sound and closed his eyes to sleep. Li Shiyuan didn't say anything. The carriage went all the way to Mu Wangfu. When he arrived at the market, Mu Cen suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Li Shiyuan.
"I want to go to the shop." Mu Cen light mouth.
Li Shiyuan also did not think much: "good."
Then Li Shiyuan ordered the coachman to drive in the direction of the shop, and Li Shiyuan then looked at Mu Cen: "why do you suddenly want to go to the shop?"
"No, I just wanted to see it, so I went." Mu Cen didn't explain much.
Li Shiyuan didn't ask much, but he could guess Mu Cen's idea. Li Shiyuan's thin lips moved and didn't say anything. He just looked down at Mu Cen until the carriage stopped at the door of the shop.
Obviously, shopkeeper Wang was stunned when he saw Li Shiyuan and Mu Cen. However, shopkeeper Wang didn't say anything, and quickly replied respectfully: "fourth master, madam."
Shopkeeper Wang walked in with them. Instead of going to other places, Mu Cen went directly to the backyard of the embroidery room, where cloth was placed. Many special cloth were only available in the Li family's Embroidery room, which could not be bought in other places. Even the tribute cloth in the palace might not be as good as the Li family's.
It's all from Outland, strange and precious.
Mu Cen pushes the door and enters, looking at the dazzling array of cloth in front of him, caressing them one by one.
