Chapter 808: Misfortune never comes alone (monthly ticket)
At the entrance of Fayuan Temple, Brother Si's face was drooping, and he couldn't express what he felt in his heart.
Before setting off for the Duke's Mansion this morning, he whispered to the eldest brother about the charcoal poisoning.
The eldest brother was not idle at that time and immediately sent someone to send a message to people in various prefectures to be careful of charcoal poison.
Unexpectedly, this is still the case.
Brother Jiu pursed his lips and stood beside him, looking dazed.
He didn't even dare to speak!
He has said that he "does what he says", but he doesn't think about it!
The tenth elder brother was standing by and saw that the ninth elder brother's face was green and white and looked bad, so he whispered: "Ninth elder brother, don't be afraid!"
He thought Brother Jiu was timid and was frightened.
What happened today is indeed quite scary.
When I was at the Duke's house in the morning, they were still well and I even talked to them.
In less than a day, it was gone, which made everyone feel uncomfortable.
The fifth elder brother and the eighth elder brother were nearby, and they also saw that something was wrong with the ninth elder brother.
The fifth elder brother came over, groped his back and said: "It's okay, it's okay. Birth, old age, sickness and death are just like eating, drinking and defecation. No one can avoid it. It's just a matter of sooner or later!"
Brother Jiu glanced at him and wanted to reply, "Sooner or later" is the problem in itself!
How many are willing to be early?
If he is a sick man, there is nothing to say. If he wants to leave, there is a sign.
But this is good...
Isn’t it true that you have a bad mouth?!
He still remembers his love for Fang Ren before...
Brother Jiu pursed his lips into a straight line.
Are you so powerful?
There is no hatred or resentment...
He won’t admit it anyway!
The third elder brother was nearby, and he felt that the ninth elder brother was not afraid, but more like he felt guilty.
He asked the seventh elder brother next to him in a low voice, "Does Lao Jiu have any grudges against Prince Ping?"
The seventh elder brother glanced at the third elder brother and did not respond.
After the third elder brother asked, he thought of the southern tour, touched his chin and said: "Prince Ping bought the Ji family's Taihu stone at a low price. Now that the Ji family has joined the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Prince Ping and Lao Jiu can be regarded as scheming.
Is the bend right?"
Is this grudge settled?
Have you really changed the story here?
The third elder brother moved a few steps, further away from the ninth elder brother, and felt more at ease.
When the seventh elder brother saw this, he felt a little worried.
What does it mean?
He was so clueless that if others heard him, they would think that Brother Jiu had done something.
He frowned and said, "Third brother, please be careful what you say."
The third elder brother wanted to speak, but he glanced at the ninth elder brother and felt that he could not be too arrogant.
What if I was hated by Lao Jiu and was also killed by Fang?
He nodded and said: "It's my fault, what are you talking about? It's not the same thing, it's not the same thing, don't talk about it anymore!"
"Dong dong dong dong..."
In the distance, the sound of drums came from the direction of the Bell and Drum Tower.
Updated.
There's a curfew.
When the sound of horse hooves sounded on the street, everyone looked over.
The Holy Spirit has arrived.
All the elder brothers greeted him respectfully, and the kings of the clan who got the news at the temple gate also came out to greet him.
Because the old Duke was in funeral, all the kings of the clan were almost here.
Kangxi got off the carriage, and the place was completely silent.
Prince Ping stopped at the side courtyard of Fayuan Temple.
Prince Kang and Prince Shuncheng led the way, accompanied by other princes. Kangxi paid a last look at Neerfu.
Thinking of Nelfu's age, which was not yet 30 years old, Kangxi's heart trembled.
Prince Zhuang was beside him, and he was also very sad.
He doesn’t even have any sons, so he has to bury his descendants.
How could Prince Ping prepare a coffin at his age?
Prince Zhuang whispered to Kangxi: "We can't just leave it like this. We are in a hurry and don't have a good coffin, so we should bring the servant's coffin to Prince Ping. It has been painted for six years!"
He is fifty years old this year, and the coffin was prepared in his forty-fourth year.
Because as he got older, in addition to tabooing his birth year, he also avoided "Ming Jiu" and "Dark Nine", so when he was forty-four years old, he found the best sandalwood and prepared it.
Kangxi nodded, looked around, looked at Prince Kang and said, "Where are the people from Pingjun Prince's Palace?"
Prince Kang was also puzzled and said: "I have already sent someone to announce the funeral..."
According to the time, he should have arrived before the Holy Driver.
Just as he was talking, there was movement outside again.
It's someone from Pingjun Prince's Mansion.
The palace chief, Shi, brought here the eldest son of Prince Pingjun, Nersu.
After being led to the holy driver, the long history knelt down and choked with sobs: "Your Majesty, our old man Fujin was so sad when he heard the funeral news that he passed away..."
This old Fujin was the grandmother of Prince Ping, the direct descendant of the second generation Prince Keqin, Tong Jia of Fujin, the cousin of Tong Guowei and Tong Guogang, and the cousin-in-law of Kangxi.
Kangxi frowned and said: "You bastard! How can this old man stand up to this? Why don't you stop him?"
The chief minister kowtowed and said: "Just now our Fujin was serving the meal in old Fujin's room. The person who reported the report showed his whereabouts. Old Fujin inquired about the news and found out that the prince had passed away after something happened..."
The palace also wanted someone to preside over the funeral, so Fujin sent Chang Shi to bring his eldest brother Narsu over...

Ninth Prince's Mansion, main room.
Shu Shu listened to the sound of drums and waited from the first watch to the second watch.
She regretted not asking Sun Jin to wrap up his clothes and go there.
Just then, there was movement in the yard.
Shu Shu hurriedly stood up and went out to greet him.
As soon as he reached the door, Brother Jiu opened the curtain and came in.
Seeing Shu Shu in a hurry, he hurriedly said: "Slow down..."
The hot water in the dining room has been prepared in advance.
Shu Shu told Walnut to go down and pass the water.
When the couple arrived at the Dongci Room, they saw Shu Shu sitting firmly, and Brother Jiu sat down on the kang, rubbed his face and said, "Tell me, what is this?"
The Duke's Mansion was afraid of delaying everyone's New Year celebrations, so they didn't stop the funeral until the first lunar month, so they sent it in advance.
But it just happened to be cool with strong winds.
The princes are all wealthy people, and few can withstand the cold. Since they know how to travel long distances, extra fumigation cages are added to the carriages.
The eldest brother clearly sent someone to warn him, and Prince Ping also answered the call from across the carriage, but he was still tricked.
Shu Shu didn't know how to comfort her.
The princes of Pingjun Prince's Mansion don't seem to live very long.
"The clan members of the royal family are under mourning with red flags. Prince Kang's Mansion and Prince Shuncheng's Mansion will follow the mourning. The rest of the people can just go to express their condolences according to the regulations. They all followed the Holy Driver back to the city..."
Brother Jiu said: "Khan Amma has come personally to bury me, build a tomb and erect a monument, and I will stay away from work tomorrow!"
Others don't need to sit up all night.
This was also the case originally, only the close cousins had to sit at night.
The old Duke is an exception. He has a higher seniority and is the son of Taizong.
Except for Prince Jian's palace, the other princes' palaces are his close cousins.
Brother Jiu said: "Tomorrow we have to prepare two sacrifices. In addition to Fayuan Temple, we also have to go to Pingjun Prince's Mansion. Pingjun Prince's grandmother has also passed away..."
This is really not good news.
Even if they are unfamiliar people, it is embarrassing.
After hot water was delivered from the dining room, Brother Jiu came out to take a bath and change clothes, and supper was also served.
It's a portion of millet porridge, two egg pancakes, and two side dishes.
Brother Jiu felt hungry when he saw it.
He ate both egg pancakes and felt better.
When he lay down, he began to feel restless.
"Is it my fault? What if I didn't mention charcoal poison?"
Brother Jiu felt that he was really guilty.
Shu Shu comforted: "What does this have to do with me?"
It can only be said to be more metaphysical.
The ninth elder brother thought of the charcoal poison, the fourth elder brother thought of reminding him, and the eldest elder brother actually warned someone from the palace.
Prince Ping also heard the reminder, but something still happened.
Brother Jiu sighed and said: "I finally know what 'impermanence' is today..."
Before, he only thought about whether his health would affect his life span, and did not think about others at all.
"You still have to believe in gods and Buddhas..."
Brother Ninth came to the conclusion: "A little blessing is a little bit..."
Shu Shu said: "You don't need to take it too seriously. This kind of thing is just an accident and not common. Besides, living your life is just eating, drinking and having diarrhea. Growing old is birth, old age, sickness and death. These are inevitable in a person's life..."
Brother Jiu fell silent and said, "I don't feel very good anyway, so I'd better talk less in the future!"
If you talk too much, you will make mistakes, so don’t be afraid; if you speak too much, it will be too scary.
Whether it's enemies, relatives, or unrelated people, they are all human lives, which are heavy and he doesn't want to bear them.
"Who was I in my previous life? How come I am so powerful?"
Brother Jiu had made his decision and couldn't help but become curious.
Shu Shu didn't know how to support him.
She didn't know who Brother Jiu was in his previous life, she just wanted him to be a less failure person in this life.
"The fourth brother is probably scared too. Will he be afraid of me in the future?"
Brother Jiu thought of this and said with some anticipation: "You don't dare to train me anymore, do you?"
At this point, he thought of Third Brother's expression and movements, and with disgust, he snorted softly and said: "Third Brother, really, hide away! It seems that I am a harmful person. I saw it.
He is not a loyal person. If I really encounter difficulties, I guess he will be the first to run away..."

Sibeile Mansion, main room.
The fourth elder brother also took a bath and changed clothes before lying down exhausted both physically and mentally.
Sifu Jin was nearby. He heard about Prince Ping's incident and was still frightened.
She also asked someone to add a fumigation cage to the carriage...
"If Brother Jiu hadn't reminded me, would I have..."
Si Fujin spoke with a vibrato, he was really scared.
We have been husband and wife for nine years. No matter how close we are to each other, we have already become like family members.
Besides, she has a widowed mother and a child, so she also needs the backbone of her fourth elder brother.
I really can't even think about it.
When the fourth elder brother heard this, he was also a little surprised.
Before, I was only thinking about Prince Ping's misfortune, but I didn't think about him.
Now think about it, the wind has cooled down in the past two days, and the wind direction has changed somewhat.
After hearing Brother Jiu's mention of "charcoal poison", I felt sick and opened the curtains several times on the way to ventilate.
Halfway through the journey, he felt a little confused and nauseous, thinking it was because he didn't get a good rest last night.
Just in time to take a break on the road, he got off the carriage and walked around twice before he felt energetic.
If I hadn't been alert, I probably wouldn't have opened the curtains.
After all, his current situation is similar to that of Prince Ping. They both have lingering colds and are afraid of cold and wind...
*
Babel Mansion, upper room.
The earth dragon is burning, but because the house is empty, it seems a little lonely in the house.
The eighth prince lay alone on the kang and tightened his cloak.
Others' carriages may have been modified by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or may have been added with smoke cages.
His carriage is the same as before.
At the end of the day, I will be freezing to my core...
*
Prince Ping's age was written incorrectly. He was the same age as his eldest brother, twenty-nine years old.
I whispered, it’s three million words long, that’s the pace. The author also likes fast-paced and exciting plots, but he doesn’t have enough writing power to write it.
