Zhou Quan was a little confused after hearing this, "Your Highness, maybe it's just a coincidence, maybe Eunuch De is out doing other things."
Xiao Jingyun nodded, "Go to the palace as soon as possible and find a way to find out about this matter. Whether you are dead or alive, you must get Xiao Dezi's approval."
Zhou Quan bowed and turned away. Xiao Jingyun sat there for a long time without moving. His thoughts were a little confused. Although he didn't have much contact with Huang Ying, he was still quite moved when he saw the heartbreaking look of Chen Xiaobei and others.
of.
I judge others by myself, and think about it, if my wife unfortunately passes away, I will definitely cry like Chen Xiaobei to death.
At this time, in Wannian Square, Chen Xiaobei and Cui Hongyu were almost crying. They were sitting in front of Huang Ying's memorial tablet, looking at each other speechlessly.
Cui Hongyu said with a tearful voice, "Husband, it is not a long-term solution for us to leave Sister Huang Ying here. We should escort her coffin back to Hetou Village as soon as possible."
Chen Xiaobei thought for a while and nodded lightly. Originally, what he did was just a bluff. To put it bluntly, if he didn't do it, the fish wouldn't come. He already did it for one day yesterday, and it would be enough if he did it for another day today. Just to be on the safe side.
, it will take at most three days.
"Hongyu, we will have another day tomorrow. After the sun sets tomorrow night, I will say goodbye to the prince and we will return to Hetou Village."
Cui Hongyu nodded, "I'm going to buy some clothes for my sister. My sister didn't enjoy much happiness in Hetou Village during her lifetime. Now she's leaving. We can't let her live in poverty anymore."
"Let sister Xiaoyue accompany you. She is more familiar with the capital." After Chen Xiaobei finished speaking, he lowered his head and sat there without saying a word. He once again thought of his previous life.
My current mood may be compared with the mood of my parents in my previous life. The pain of losing a son is a bit more severe than the pain of losing my wife.
At this moment, I saw several young eunuchs coming in a hurry, and the leader was Xiao Shunzi.
Chen Xiaobei didn't know this person, but he knew he was from the palace, so he stood up out of courtesy.
Xiao Shunzi came forward and hugged Chen Xiaobei, "I've met Mr. Chen."
Chen Xiaobei responded politely, "May I ask, father-in-law, who are you?"
"I am the emperor's attendant, and I have been ordered to deliver the emperor's orders."
As soon as he heard the emperor's instructions, Chen Xiaobei quickly lifted up his clothes and knelt down. Xiao Shunzi stepped forward to support him again, "Young Master Chen is in great grief, so there is no need to be polite. The emperor said that there will be a state funeral for Miss Huang Ying. Please do it early."
Prepare."
Chen Xiaobei thought he heard wrongly. He raised his head and looked at Xiao Shunzi again in confusion.
Xiao Shunzi clasped his fists at him again, with a hint of joy in the corners of his eyebrows, "Congratulations, Mr. Chen. Congratulations, Mr. Chen, for allowing the emperor to hold a state funeral for your wife. This is only possible for princes and nobles.
Such treatment!”
Hearing this, Chen Xiaobei was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. My wife died, but you came with me to congratulate her.
And why is this? I am just a mountain villager. Even if I have made some contributions to the court, I have not reached the level of a highly respected official. Isn’t it a bit too much to give my second wife a state funeral?
That's an exaggeration.
Chen Xiaobei didn't know much about it, but Cui Hongyu was completely confused.
Of course she understands the significance of a state funeral, so Chen Xiaobei must be ennobled and made a marquis.
How can a villager hold a state funeral now? Does the emperor want to ennoble Chen Xiaobei with a title?
As soon as he thought about saying goodbye, he stepped forward, tugged on Chen Xiaobei's lapel, and whispered, "Husband, please thank the emperor for your kindness."
After saying that, Cui Hongyu took the lead and knelt down. When Chen Xiaobei saw this, he had no choice but to kneel down and shout three times to thank him.
Xiao Shunzi finished delivering the emperor's oral instructions and left, but Chen Xiaobei was confused.
Cui Hongyu stepped forward, gave Chen Xiaobei a hug, and whispered, "Husband, according to the law, only if you become a marquis, your wife may be able to enjoy the treatment of a state funeral. This may mean that you will be canonized soon."
Already."
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "I don't want any canonization. As long as Huang Ying can survive, I am willing to die in exchange."
After finishing speaking, Chen Xiaobei thought for a moment and said to Cui Hongyu, "I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter. I have to find someone who understands to ask."
In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the Prince's Mansion at noon.
Zhou Quan hurriedly came back with one person, and when he saw Xiao Jingyun's study, he cupped his fists and saluted, "Your Highness, there is news, it's about Xiao Dezi, and there is Xiao Leizi waiting outside!"
Xiao Jingyun waved his hand, Zhou Quan came to the door of the royal study and brought in a young eunuch. As soon as the young eunuch came in, he knelt down in front of Xiao Jingyun.
"Xiao Leizi has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Jamel Xiao nodded, "Do you have any news about Xiao Dezi?"
Xiao Lezi nodded, "Your Highness, at midnight last night, I had already gone to bed and Xiao Dezi suddenly came to look for me."
After hearing this, Jamel Xiao frowned and said, "Oh, Xiao Dezi, why did I suddenly look for you?"
"Your Highness, it has been eleven years since Xiao Dezi and I entered the palace in the same year."
"We slept in the same room for the first few years."
"It was only after he served the emperor in recent years that he went to sleep in a separate room alone."
This reason convinced Xiao Jingyun that the relationship between Xiao Leizi and Xiao Dezi was extraordinary.
"Okay, then tell me what Xiao Dezi wanted to see you for last night!"
"Little Dezi came to me last night and said that she wanted to do a big thing for the emperor. She also said that this thing was not her intention, but the emperor saved his life, so he had to do it."
Upon hearing this, Jamel Xiao stood up suddenly. "Then he didn't tell you what he was going to do?"
"He said, he said he was going to kill someone for the emperor."
"He said he had never killed a woman in his life, but this time was an exception. He said he was going to kill two wives named Chen Xiaobei at the altar outside the west gate."
"He also told me that if something unexpected happens and he doesn't come back, let me collect his bones anyway and send them back to his hometown in Xishan. His real name is Chand."
After hearing what Xiao Lezi said, Xiao Jingyun let out a long sigh, then waved his hand to signal Zhou Quan to take the person down.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Lezi knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, "Your Highness, I have told you the truth and the secret has been revealed. I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the palace."
Xiao Jingyun frowned, and he immediately understood what Xiao Leizi meant.
"Zhou Quan, give him Xiao Dezi's body and let him go. If he leaves, don't come back again."
Zhou Quan agreed, took Xiao Leizi out, took out a banknote from his sleeve and handed it to him, "These are the wishes of His Highness, please don't let His Highness's painstaking efforts go to waste."
Xiao Leizi left with a lot of gratitude, and then Zhou Quan turned around and came back in to meet Xiao Jingyun.
