Hua Rong said anxiously: "Empress, you must not be discouraged. You should personally hand over this hairpin to Shangguan Family."
Empress Xing laughed, holding the hairpin, her eyes slowly turned into ashes.
Seeing her fatigued, Hua Rong helped her up: "Empress, you can take a rest, relax, everything will be fine."
"Madame Yue, thank you! "You saved me two times in the midst of danger. There's really no way to repay you …"
"Don't worry about it, please relax Empress."
Hua Rong helped her lie on the bed. The night was cold, and she covered her with the Jinguo's blanket, but when the blanket touched her body, she immediately brushed it off.
Her tone was too miserable, causing Hua Rong to feel very uneasy. After she closed her eyes and seemed to fall asleep, she covered her with the blanket again, and slowly closed the door behind him.
After two hours, Zha He finally returned with a big bag of food, which was filled with cooked beef and lamb as well as a pot of scalding horse milk tea.
He saw Hua Rong standing at the door and looking around, and said excitedly: "The little boys, are you hungry?"
Hua Rong shook her head.
He quickly put down his things and arranged them one by one. He then poured two large bowls of scalding milk tea. "The little boys, I was waiting for me to boil the milk tea, so I came back late …"
Seeing him so happy, Hua Rong felt a bit of guilt in her heart and said softly: "Zha He, I originally wanted Empress Xing to be your wife, but … Can you not touch her? "
Zha He's eyes were wide open, as if he did not understand what she had said.
Hua Rong thought for a moment and then said, "What I mean is, this … Can you not be a real couple with her? That means, you can't go into her room... "
Zha He finally understood. He was initially not interested in the skinny woman and happily replied: "It's fine. "I was marrying for you in the first place. If you don't want to be a husband and wife, then don't want to be a husband and wife …"
Hua Rong heaved a sigh of relief, took out another silver, and gave it to him: "Zha He, thank you. In the future, I will help you marry a good girl."
"The little boys, there's no need …"
As the two talked, Hua Rong suddenly felt a little uneasy. She got up and said, "I'll go and call her for dinner. "You just wait for me."
"Alright."
Hua Rong got up and pushed open the door. The entire house was in darkness, it was dead silent.
She came back to pick up a weak lantern, and called out as she walked: "Empress, time to eat!"
No one answered. She froze and screamed miserably, "Empress …"
In front of him, a figure was swaying upside down. Turns out that Empress Xing had actually torn a thin blanket off her bed, and hanged herself from the ceiling.
Her screams alarmed Zha He, who ran in, the two of them had no time to be afraid, they both untied Empress Xing, only to see Empress Xing's face turned purple, her eyes were wide open, she had already stopped breathing, her entire body was ice-cold.
Hua Rong fell to the ground in a daze as tears rolled down her face.
This slave's life was truly worthy of the Son of Heaven's love! A golden hairpin, avenging my revenge!
When the opportunity to return to the south came, the Empress Xing ended her battered body decisively like this.
Hua Rong could no longer hold it in, bawling loudly on top of her body.
This was the first time Zha He had seen this kind of miserable situation. He was so shocked that he stood at the side, and only after a long while did he reach out to support her.
Just as his hand touched Hua Rong's shoulder, Hua Rong suddenly raised her head and crazily opened his hands, "Scram! You bastards! You devils, you damned golden dog! "You guys are even more vicious than the devil …"
Zha He didn't dare to say a word, and only withdrew his hand in a daze, not daring to touch her again.
After a while, when he saw her crying on top of Empress Xing, he couldn't help but reach out to pull her away. "The little boys, The little boys, you have changed your mind …"
Hua Rong dried her tears and stood up, using a big blanket to cover Empress Xing, she sat on the chair blankly without moving. Seeing that she was no longer angry, and no longer cursing herself, Zha He's heart felt a little desolate. He said carefully: "The little boys, I'll take care of this for you."
She also did not say anything. Just as Zha He was about to lift the cover, she suddenly shouted in a stern voice: "Stop!"
Zha He was so scared that he took a step back.
Before Empress Xing died, she didn't even want to cover the female spirit's blanket, so how could she let the genuine man bury her?
Seeing that her face was still filled with tears, the deep hatred that was revealed in her eyes was something that he had never seen before. Ever since he had known Hua Rong, although it had only been a little over ten days, but when she was a "man", she had been extremely generous, and when she was a woman, she had been gentle and kind.
He was afraid in his heart, but he also understood that she was like this because of the death of the Empress Xing.
War, had actually caused such a beautiful girl like Hua Rong to reveal such a terrifying gaze.
Zha He didn't dare look into her eyes, and took another step back. He didn't know what to say, and only said softly, "The little boys … I, I have never been to Song Kingdom before … have never gone to the Song Kingdom to fight before … "
Hua Rong didn't pay attention to him as she walked to the side of the door and whistled loudly.
After a while, Zhang Xian, Liu Qi and the others walked over from the shadows and asked hurriedly, "Has the Empress Empress arrived?"
Before he could finish, he saw Hua Rong's face filled with tears. In a blink of an eye, he saw Empress Xing's body lying on the ground.
The two of them were miserable as they shook their heads, speechless.
On the second day, Empress Xing's corpse was buried. Although it was Zha He who came out, but according to the customs of the Chinese, he listened to Hua Rong's instructions and found a piece of fresh silk to cover Empress Xing's body, burying it in the ground.
The funeral was over. It was already dusk, and the female practitioners had already dispersed.
Zha He returned to the temporary small hut. Seeing that Hua Rong was about to go out, he said softly, "The little boys …"
Hua Rong's expression was extremely cold, and said indifferently: "Zha He, I'm leaving."
"Where are you going?"
She did not answer.
Zha He suddenly realised that this beautiful woman had wanted him to help her marry Empress Xing in the past. Now that Empress Xing had died, he would no longer bother with her at all.
He panicked in his heart and whispered: "The little boys, where are you going?"
She did not answer.
Zha He could not help it, and followed behind her step by step. His voice became even softer: "The little boys, I'm sorry …"
Hua Rong stopped in her tracks.
"The little boys, I won't harm you, I really will not harm you, The little boys …"
Hua Rong turned around and said indifferently: "Zha He, thank you for helping me these past few days. "I'm leaving …"
He panicked and suddenly realized that he would never see her again. He hurriedly asked, "Where are you going? Do you want to return to the Da Song? "
"Not yet."
He heaved a sigh of relief. "Will I see you again?"
In front of them, Zhang Xian and the others were waiting for her. The moment they saw her coming out, the three of them walked forward.
Zha He stood alone at the door, looking at the distant sky. He had just experienced a funeral, and after experiencing the friendly days together, it was the first time he felt a sense of helplessness in his life.
However, he was unable to express this kind of feeling, and he didn't know the reason either. He could only mutter to himself simply, "I never attacked the Song Kingdom, why do I have to be blamed?"
Jin Wushu's residence.
As soon as night fell, lights and decorations were lit, as if a happy occasion was taking place.
Wang Junhua commanded the servants in the room to spread and prepare delicious food. Everything was prepared according to the customs of the Southern Empire.
She did not know who Fourth Prince would invite tonight, but seeing Fourth Prince's solemn orders, she did not dare be negligent at all. It was unknown when she had become so loyal to Jin Wushu. Even if he told her to kneel down and lick his toes, she would not hesitate to accept it.
What surprised her the most was that in the courtyard that Fourth Prince had ordered to be cleaned, the furnishings were all Song Kingdom customs. There was a purple screen, a grey carpet, and a window with a full room full of ancient books.
Inside the wardrobe, there was a whole box of silk clothes that was taken out of open seal's spoils of war. All of these clothes came from the palace, they were the new clothes of the Queen's Imperial Concubine. Even Wang Junhua had never seen such exquisite and luxurious clothes before as his wife.
She picked one up and couldn't help but gesture it to her chest for a while. But when she thought about how Fourth Prince scolded her when she saw that she was wearing the Han suit, she didn't dare say anything further and put it back. In his heart, however, he could not help but become increasingly envious and resentful. Who was the one who wanted to live here?
Could it be Ye Lvguanyin?
But Ye Lvguanyin is a Chidan?
Could it be Hua Rong?
However, ever since Hua Rong came to the Salix, he had never seen her again. She even thought that she had been detained by Zong Han along with Yuwen Xuzhong.
She secretly thought: "I hope the heavens bless me, and that I will be captured by that bitch by the Grand Prince and never come out again."
After tidying up everything, she saw a long red carpet being spread out at the entrance, and when she saw Jin Wushu walking out, she became even more surprised, because Fourth Prince was actually wearing a set of Chinese clothes.
She had never seen Jin Wushu in such a state. With a charming smile, she stepped forward and bowed, then said tenderly: "Fourth Prince, everything is ready."
"Alright, let's wait for your esteemed guest to arrive. You must be careful in serving him, and can't be negligent in the slightest." After he finished speaking, he added, "Tonight, you will accompany Staff Officer Qin."
She was overjoyed, could she and Qin Gui even keep them company?
Fourth Prince treating, was he a guest himself?
One had to know that there was a huge difference between a guest and a maid. No matter how much they were doted on, they were still servant girl, but once they were present, their status and position would change.
She was surprised and happy as she said repeatedly, "I would never dare to slight an esteemed guest of the Fourth Prince."
She repeatedly promised and went to look at the preparation in the kitchen, afraid that there would be even the slightest bit of impurity, lest it anger Fourth Prince.
Jin Wushu was walking around the room, looking very pleased with himself. Suddenly, he heard a notification from the door: "Madame Yue has arrived …"
She anxiously welcomed them. At the door, Hua Rong stood with Zhang Xian and Liu Qi behind him.
He hated the name "Madame Yue" and hated Zhang Xian and Liu Qi even more, because when he saw them, he would always think of Yue Pengju, as if Yue Pengju was standing by his side.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to chase the two away, he was startled, only to see that Hua Rong's eyes were red and swollen. Why was Hua Rong crying? And why was she angry? In his intelligence network, Zong Han was only imprisoning Yuwen Xuzhong and the others, there were no other bad news. After the agreement was made, when Zong Wang repeatedly intervened, Song Huizong and the rest still had the hope of returning south, wasn't she supposed to be happy?
Hua Rong suppressed the flames of anger in her heart and asked indifferently: "Why should I invite you to a banquet?"
He forced out a laugh, but was still unable to continue greeting them. He whispered: "Hua Rong, what's wrong?"
Hua Rong did not answer and walked straight in.
Just as he sat down, he saw a lady dressed in an Luo Qiu slowly walking in. She had a bountiful figure and had a beautiful face like Guan Yin in a Liaoning temple. She was the reputed number one beauty, Ye Lvguanyin.
