Chapter 255

The princess left, leaving the world with a residual smile.

This smile, let her withered Artemisia face glowing gorgeous, like the white lotus in the red lotus pool, beautiful suffocating, beautiful heartache.

Li Ke fainted.

It turns out that there is really psychological reaction between people. As early as three days ago, when Qin mubai wrote the urgent letter urging him to return to Beijing, he was in the prince's east palace to accompany his eldest brother to a banquet. During the dinner, everything was normal. Suddenly, he felt a burst of inexplicable heartache. The pain was as painful as a knife. He couldn't hold the wine cup and fell onto the table. The princess's smile came into his mind. He didn't prepare for the task, so he borrowed some horses from the East Palace and took some accompanying bodyguards to leave in an instant. After three days and three nights without any rest, he ran and killed four horses and finally arrived at the time when the princess was dying to see her off.

The accompanying bodyguards were all veterans of King Wu's mansion. They were so scared that they thought that King Wu was suffering from some sudden loss of heart. Because they have been with King Wu for nearly ten years, they have never seen him so crazy.

Li daozong put the little princess next to her mother, who had just died and still had body temperature. Less than one year old little girl dunjin did not cry, turned over and climbed up to her, squeezed open the bedding to capture her chest clothes.

She's hungry.

The whole room burst into tears. Li daozong's angular and resolute face suddenly lost his mind. Tears flow down unconsciously.

Qin Mu Bai's throat was blocked up and he burst into tears.

In his life, he couldn't see a man's tears. Especially, the tears of a man like Li daozong.

"Mubai, take Ke'er down to have a rest and ask the doctor to feel his pulse." Li daozong said in a voice, "listen, the rest of you are busy with everything. Prepare for the princess's funeral. All the civil and military officials under Xiangzhou government will send a post to order them to come to mourn, and the king of Qi in Dengzhou will also invite them. The above mourning chapter of the imperial court was written by the king himself. Now, apart from the princess's maids, the rest of them are scattered! "

"Yes, Lord!"

They all listened and did as they were told.

After a few words, Qin mubai deeply felt Li daozong's calmness and atmosphere. The charm of men, from his words and deeds, such as Ben Hongzha burst out.

I think so. Li daozong was calm and calm in the situation of a thousand troops attacking each other. Although he was sad and tearful at the moment, how could he lose his square inch?

Together with several bodyguards, he carried away Li Ke who had fainted. Qin mubai also brought the crying Princess Gaoyang out of the room.

Li Ke's face was like a vegetable, his eyes were deep, his body smelled of sweat, his hair was almost curled, and his clothes were dirty and smelly.

After he was lifted up from his bedroom, Qin mubai sent for a bucket full of hot water, stripped him clean and threw him in. He called several concubines of the king of Wu to help him take a bath. Meanwhile, Li Ke didn't wake up.

For three days and three nights, he ran a thousand and one hundred miles without sleep. If he was beaten by iron, he would be tired to death, not to mention the prince who had been a child. Perhaps he had never suffered like this since he was young. This time, it is because of the heart that a touch of palpitation and concern, make such an amazing move.

Qin mubai knew that he was a little moved. Generally speaking, Li Ke is very romantic and cynical. The women around him change clothes more frequently than others, but his action is enough to show his deep feelings for the princess.

Before, he didn't even reveal anything. Qin mubai once thought that there was only a pure "political marriage relationship" between him and the Yang family, Princess of Wu. They respected each other, but they didn't seem to have too many feelings.

Like Li Shimin, he is romantic and lustful, but he is also affectionate. At the beginning, Li Shimin went to Zhaoling privately to celebrate his birthday to empress changsun, and played Pipa for her?

The attitude of men in the Tang Dynasty towards emotion is naturally different from that of people in the 21st century. In the polygamous world, especially in the Royal Marquis, it's rare to find such a man as their father and son.

……

Three days later, Li Ke opened his eyes. Hazy see Qin mubai sitting beside his bed, his throat difficult sliding for a while, voice low and dry said: "she left?"

"Well. The palace is running a funeral. " Qin mubai said.

Li Ke closed his eyes again with some force. Maybe it's not suitable for the strong light, maybe it's too much pain in my heart.

After a long time, Li Ke whispered: "she can walk How are you doing? "

"It's sweet with a smile on it." Qin mubai said.

"That's good..." Li Ke took a long breath and fell into a long silence.

Qin mubai asked the maidservants to get porridge, and helped Li Ke sit up and eat some. In a coma, he didn't eat anything, but Qin mubai pried his mouth open and forced him to feed some soup into it, so he had nausea after eating a little. It took a long time to eat a few spoons.

Now look at him, really haggard a lot, lost a whole circle.

"Mubai, help me up and go to the Lingtang." Li Ke struggles to get up."You'd better lie down." Qin mubai said, "everything is managed by the king of Jiangxia. Don't worry about it."

There is a saying that Qin mubai doesn't want to say, but Li Ke certainly understands it and thinks that his husband doesn't sacrifice his wife. Many civil and military officials in Xiangzhou are worshiping in the mourning hall. It's quite inappropriate for Li Ke to show up at this time.

"It's OK, go ahead!" Li Ke insisted. Qin mubai didn't have much to say, so he had to help him up. Although not filial, but Li Ke insisted on wearing a suit of gold and white clothes.

The mourning hall is located in the main hall of the residence in the back yard of the governor's mansion. There are numerous banners of spirits. All the officials under Xiangzhou are mourning and worshiping in turn. Princess Wu believed in Buddhism. Therefore, regardless of the family tradition that Li family attached importance to Taoism, Li daozong invited monks to make a Taoist temple for the princess.

Li Ke's bedroom is two corridors away from the main hall. Qin mubai helps him walk a few steps, and Li Ke insists on walking on his own. Although he was slow, he cut his hands and walked steadily step by step.

Passing through a room, I vaguely heard the whispers of several women.

"The princess passed away, and it was Uncle Huang who presided over the funeral. It's so beautiful!"

"Can you stop it? She's the master mother. How can a woman like us compare? "

"Yes, yes, we are the playthings that your highness will come and go at once! Ah! I don't know if your highness will continue to accept the main room after Princess Wu's leaving. "

"Well, even nazhengshi, I'm afraid it's not our share! In fact, I don't have much hope. If I can stay here and not be driven away, I will be satisfied. If I can be a child, I will burn incense to thank my ancestors! "

Li Ke stopped to listen for a while. Qin mubai saw that his face had not changed at all. Maybe he was too weak to make an expression. But in his eyes, there was a surge of anger.

"Bang! ——”

with a loud bang, Li Ke, who seems to have no strength, suddenly burst out like a lion and kicked the door open.

The four women, the maids who usually serve between Li Ke's beds, were so scared that they all jumped up.

"Go away! ——Get out of here Li Ke drank in a deep voice.

That voice, kill!

"Your Highness, your highness, spare your life! Your highness, forgive me! What a heartless word Scared out of their wits, the women knelt down in the room and kowtowed desperately to make amends.

"If you don't go away, you'll go and bury the princess." Li Ke did not roar, but said in his hoarse voice.

"Woo! ——”The four women were so scared that they got up in a hurry and ran out of the room.

After several women ran clean, Qin mubai said: "Your Highness. Don't be angry. Hurt yourself

"Well." Li Ke gently answered and waved his hand, "let's go to Lingtang."

After walking through a corridor, Li Ke stopped for a moment and said, "mubai, please tell me. Let the housekeeper seal some money to these women, and let them go home to marry their husband. After all, they have been with me for a while. Although they are nameless and have no feelings, I don't want to be mean to them. "

"Good." Qin Mu nodded his head in vain. He was kind-hearted. Only in this way can he be kind. Friendship belongs to friendship, business belongs to business, but Li Ke is a person who attaches great importance to integrity and has a clear sense of gratitude and resentment.

When they arrived at Lingtang, they were surprised to see Li Ke.

"Here comes King Wu!"

All the officials got out of the way. Let him go in. Li Ke didn't say hello to anyone. He looked straight at the big coffin on the hall and walked in step by step.

Li you, the king of Qi, has already come. He and Princess Gaoyang are together in the mourning hall to help his family answer the questions. Li daozong stood outside the hall to preside over the overall situation. When he saw Li Ke coming, he stepped forward to stop him.

"Ke'er, why are you here?" Li daozong whispered. There was a lot of love in the voice, but also a trace of blame.

Li Ke arched his hand and said apologetically, "I'm really troubling you, uncle Huang. But I just want to see. "

"No way." Li daozong shook his head and said it firmly.

Li Ke's face trembled slightly, and he bowed his head for a long time.

"Go back and rest. Just have me here. " Li daozong gently comforted again. Then he said to Qin mubai beside him, "mubai, take him away."

"Uncle Huang." Li Ke raised his head, frowned deeply and said in a soft voice, "I beg you."

Li daozong and Qin mubai were stunned at the same time.

Li Ke said: "seeking".

Having known him for so long, Qin mubai had never heard him say this word.

Without a word, Li daozong moved aside.

"Uncle Xie."

One or two hundred people, silent, watched Qin mubai and Li Ke. Step by step into the hall.

After they went in, Princess Gaoyang and Li you came forward together, as if to comfort Li Ke. Li Ke waved his hand, but they couldn't say a word, so they had to stand aside.

Li Ke went to the edge of the coffin, reached out a hand and gently stroked the cold new lacquer coffin, stunned."Open the coffin." Qin mubai said.

Li Ke was stunned and looked at Qin mubai. Thank you.

The emcee who presided over the ceremony came up in a hurry and said, "the master said that it is not appropriate to open the coffin after closing the coffin."

"Open the coffin." Qin mubai emphasized his tone and repeated it once. The MC was so scared that he quickly stepped down, called a few monks to come forward and opened the coffin.

The coffin is made of good fragrant wood. Inside, the body of the princess was embalmed with spices, and the weather was not hot. Therefore, the body of the princess remained intact, with a smile on her face, makeup and beautiful pearl headdress, still elegant and beautiful.

"She slept soundly." Li Ke said in a low voice, reached into the coffin and touched the princess's face.

Princess Gaoyang burst into tears. Li you hugs her in a hurry.

"Go and take good care of our daughter." Li Ke said in a soft voice, just like the honeyed words in the ear temples when lovers hug each other. He said slowly, "this life is shallow, and we will continue in the next life."

After that, Li Ke leaned down and gave the princess a kiss on her forehead.

"Cover the coffin." After Li Ke got up and said two words, he turned and walked out of the hall. When he passed Qin mubai, he said, "mubai, give me a piece of incense. She knows you, you tell her, she will understand. "

"Well."

Li Ke nodded. With almost no expression on his face, he walked away.

From beginning to end, Li Ke did not shed tears.

But all the people on the scene felt the breath of pain from his body.

Originally, the pain to a very deep place, tears will forget to flow.

Li Ke left.

But the atmosphere at the scene is still stagnant, and everyone seems to have not recovered. Finally, it was Li daozong who ordered the mourning to continue, and the mourning hall recovered here.

Qin mubai kindles incense. To the princess, the heart sighed: experienced lost, people will know how to cherish. King Wu and Princess Wu, I hope you can continue to lead the way in the afterlife.

At this time, Qin mubai could not help recalling the words that the princess had said before her death, and his heart was full of sighs. To death. The princess is still worrying about Li Ke's future life. She deeply understood his heart and knew what he was thinking, what talents he needed and what he was suitable for.

"Now the princess's body is not cold, how can I shamelessly mention Shuanger to him?" Let them go along with the fate! I shouldn't even think about such a problem now. It's a sin

After offering incense to the princess, Li daozong asked Qin mubai to accompany Li Ke.

Come to Li Ke's bedroom. Without waiting for Qin mubai to speak, Li Ke asked, "how are the preparations for the sacrificial ceremony at the mausoleum of emperor Yang?"

Qin mubai was stunned for a moment and nodded: "it's going well. Ten days later, the ceremony will be normal. "

"Good. It's been a hard time for you Li Ke was sitting on the couch, but his voice was a little hoarse and low. He said, "I heard your offer of jade seal. As a result, my father is really happy. I've never seen his heartfelt happiness. He kept me in the palace for more than a month and let me accompany him day and night. I have never been with my father for such a long time. He also made an exception to take me to the imperial court to shoot and play chess in Taiye. He even asked me to accompany him in the imperial study to criticize the memorials. You know, old four's face is going to be green, ha ha! "

After laughing twice, Li Ke coughed again. He ran a thousand miles day and night. He was overworked and cold. It seemed that he was caught in the cold.

Qin mubai, however, heard countless heartache, helplessness and sadness from his pale laughter.

Li Ke is a very strong man, he easily won't show his cowardice and grief in front of outsiders. Many men are like this. As a prince, he is even more so. Right now. He's just deliberately changing the subject, trying to disperse and cover up these things.

"By the way, I met Wu Meiniang in Chang'an. She seems more beautiful than before." Li Ke also joked, saying, "the business of Qinxian Pavilion is really good. After the renovation, it's more elegant and beautiful than before. It's becoming more and more popular in Chang'an. I also told Zheng Anshun to come back to the capital. Told her to come to Xiangzhou for business, she readily agreed, and immediately began to arrange to leave Beijing for Xiangzhou. Originally, we also made an appointment to come together, but I didn't expect to break the appointment and go ahead. If she scolds me later, you should help me get in the way! "

Qin Mu Bai smile a little, say: "are you tired?"

The corner of Li Ke's mouth stirred lightly for a while, and nodded his head: "you say so, I really feel a little tired."

"Then you have a rest. I won't disturb you." Then Qin mubai got up and went out.

"Mubai!"

"What?" Qin mubai turned and looked at him.

Li ke a smile: "thank you."

One of Qin Mu Bai's smiles: "superfluous."Out of the room, Qin mubai gently closed the door and breathed a sigh.

The whole room is almost filled with Li Ke's sadness, which makes Qin mubai feel that he is immersed in a pool of sadness. Walking out of the room, I feel relieved.

"Now, if you want to cry, you can cry. No one will see you." Qin mubai sighed and said in his heart, "who has stipulated that a man must have no tears?"
