"Go and do what you should do with peace of mind. Don't worry." Chu Han's mouth curved slightly.
Xie Yao gave Chu Han a gentle look and turned to leave.
Chu Han watched Xie Yao leave with soft eyes. He didn't look back until there was no trace of her. He commanded expressionlessly, "Take her with you, the murder weapon and bloody clothes, and follow me into the palace!"
"Yes." A guard responded.
Not long after the sky started to light up, the funeral procession set off from Pingdong Hou Mansion.
Because Xie Lian and Xie Wenwu have been demoted to common people, the funeral etiquette can only be done according to the standards of ordinary people.
Of course, it is the highest level of funeral ceremony allowed by the common people's status!
The funeral procession started from Pingdong Hou Mansion and headed out of the city. Along the way, there were also some people silently watching the ceremony and paying homage, which did not disturb the funeral procession.
These people are common people.
Anyone who is an official in the court knows the embarrassing status of the general's palace, so naturally they dare not show their faces at this time and cause trouble for themselves.
But it wasn't that there were no officials, so Hong Ye came forward to express his condolences.
Hong Ye just stepped forward, said a few words to General Xie, and then stepped aside.
Tong Yang, the Tongshizi, was also present, but he was in the dark, silently watching the team move forward, and never showed his face.
There is a teahouse on the road that the funeral procession must pass.
King Chu Yue of Yue was sitting in a private room facing the street, where he could see the entire street clearly.
"Prince Qi, Prince Hong has just come out to express his condolences in person. There is also Prince Tong, although he did not show up, but he is also silently seeing him off." Qingbai stood behind Chu Rui and reported in a deep voice.
"Tong Yang? That heir apparent of the Marquis Wen'an family?" Chu Yue was not surprised by Hong Ye's appearance, but was rather curious about Tong Yang.
"Exactly."
"Does Marquis Wen An know about this?"
"You should know. After the Princess Dowager's birthday party, Tong Yang had a talk with Marquis Wen'an because of the feud between Marquis Wen'an and Xie Yao and General Xie at the banquet. It is said that they broke up on bad terms," Qingbai said.
.
Chu Yue raised his slender eyebrows and smiled with a hint of interest, "This is interesting. The Pingdong Hou Mansion is at the end of its rope, but Tong Yang still dares to get involved. Isn't it because he is not afraid of death?"
"What the prince is saying is that the emperor is particularly gracious to this funeral ceremony. Pingdong Houfu cannot go far. Tong Shizi is causing trouble for himself and Wen'an Houfu." Qingbai agreed.
.
Chu Yue's expression darkened, "Is General Qian ready?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, we are ready. Just wait for the funeral procession to pass by, and they will put on a good show for you, Your Majesty." Qingbai said proudly.
"To this king?" Chu Yue's voice turned cold.
Qingbai immediately felt cold sweat break out on his forehead, and bowed and said: "I made a mistake in my humble position. General Qian didn't know that this was done by the prince. I just kept people staring at me, so I knew that Qian Dali was going to take action here, so I asked the prince to do it."
Came here to watch.”
Chu Yue nodded slowly, dispelling the chill all over his body, "It would be a bit boring if I am the only one watching the show. Where are the others?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything is ready. It's all a matter that the humble official ordered me to do in a few twists and turns, and it will never be traced to Your Majesty." Qingbai explained quickly.
Chu Yue didn't speak again, looking towards the direction of the funeral procession with expectation.
…
The funeral procession moved forward slowly and came to the vicinity of the tea house.
Li Qiye had been paying attention to the movements around him, just in case someone was causing trouble, but more importantly, he wanted to see if the princess was coming!
On such an important day, if the princess was trapped and unable to show up, the old general would definitely feel sad even if he didn't say it.
I hope everything goes well for the princess and she can get out of trouble as soon as possible.
I sighed in my heart, and just about to look away, I suddenly saw several people appearing not far ahead, coming towards the funeral procession. The leader turned out to be General Qian Daliqian!
Mo Li's heart sank and he immediately stepped forward, "General Qian, today is the funeral ceremony for Pingdong Hou Mansion! General Xie once led you to conquer the east and west, and treated you well. If you have anything to do, please come to Pingdong someday.
The Hou Mansion will discuss it in detail, hoping not to disturb General Xie’s spirit in heaven!"
Qian Dali had proposed to move the Pingdong Marquis Mansion to the imperial concubine's birthday party, so his visit this time would naturally not be to express his condolences.
Qian Dali sneered, "General Xie really doesn't understand etiquette as he gets older. I, the general, have come to express my condolences in person, so why send a servant to send me away? I should let General Xie come out to greet me, right?"
Mo Li's face darkened, "General Qian, be careful. If General Qian is here to express his condolences, Pingdonghou Mansion will welcome him. If not, please ask General Qian to get out of the way and let the team pass. Although Pingdonghou Mansion is at the end of its tether,
But shooting through a piece of paper is no problem!"
These words were taught to him by the old general before he left, telling him that if someone came out to cause trouble, he would just respond in this way.
"You dare to say that this general is just a piece of paper?" Qian Dali was furious after hearing this. Worried that he had no excuse to cause trouble, he directly ordered the people behind him to completely block the way, "Originally, this general is your funeral ceremony today.
Come on, I don’t want to bring up the old issues again.”
"But since you disrespect me so much, I don't have to respect you! Back then, your Xie family put all the blame on me and expelled me from the military camp, causing me to be criticized and abused.
Let’s settle this account today!”
The people behind Qian Dali immediately lined up and blocked the road.
At the same time, a group of people appeared from nowhere, all pointing at the funeral procession.
"A servant dares to talk to General Qian. Pingdong Houfu really doesn't understand etiquette!"
"In order to evade responsibility, I gave the responsibility to General Qian. It was so shameless!"
"I heard that General Xie once collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. He deserved to die in battle. How can he have the dignity to hold a funeral ceremony? Everyone in the family is really shameless!"
Mo Li's expression changed, knowing that Qian Dali had come prepared, he immediately pulled someone over and ordered: "Hurry and report to the old general!"
"yes."
Qian Dali looked on coldly and did not stop him.
What he wants is for that old guy to appear, otherwise even if he makes the servant in front of him angry to death, he will not have the slightest revenge effect.
In the teahouse, Chu Yue had a panoramic view of this scene, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, "Qingbai, you have arranged these people well."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Qingbai breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the prince has just come of age and is not as senior as himself, he has been with the prince for many years and knows very well that the prince's strength cannot be judged by his age. He is convinced that many things are often arranged.
"Is the palace ready?" Chu Yue suddenly asked.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, if an imperial doctor comes out of the palace to treat you, the road will be congested and he will not be able to arrive in time." Qingbai said quickly.
Chu Yue nodded with satisfaction and continued to look at the street, because the target had already appeared.
General Xie came out and saw Qian Dali and the crowd of onlookers who suddenly appeared, with clear and solemn expressions, "Who dares to make trouble in front of me?"
