379 Chapter 379 Goodbye Nangong Lizhu
What is Liu Li going to do?
Seeing that I looked at him in confusion, Pei Yuanhao didn't say anything, but Eunuch Yu next to me came up and said carefully: "Miss Qing, it's Lord Liu's disaster today."
"Return to disaster?"
Then I remembered that the people of the Central Plains still had the custom of burning seven and returning to disasters. That is, within forty-nine days after a person's death, the soul of a person will go home again. The monks or Taoist priests with Taoism can calculate the exact time. The family members can arrange incense, candles, wine and food at home, so that the deceased can stay at home for one more moment.
It turned out that today was Liu Yi's "returning disaster day". I asked, "Does Liu Zhaoyi want to build a temple there?"
Eunuch Yu shook his head: "This place is not Lord Liu's home."
Yes, Liu Yi was sent south and was assassinated, but actually died in a foreign land. His residence cannot be regarded as his home, and there is no explanation for his disaster there.
"Then Liu Zhaoyi is—"
"She is planning to go to the temple." Pei Yuanhao said lightly.
"oh."
There is a saying that people who die in a foreign land will not be able to find their home, but asking monks in the temple to do rituals can help them find their homes. Speaking of which, it is actually not allowed to do these things in the palace, but in Yangzhou, Liu Yi died on duty again, and Liu Zhaoyi did these things, and Pei Yuanhao had nothing to say.
Pei Yuanhao asked, "Are they going now?"
"Back to the emperor, Zhaoyi is ready to go."
"Um."
I looked at Pei Yuanhao, walked over and whispered: "Your Majesty is going?"
He pondered for a while before saying, "I didn't plan to go, but what you just said makes some sense-" He looked at me and said, "I should do something for the people of the south."
A smile appeared on my face.
The situation in Yangzhou is still tense. It can be said that we are waiting for the people from Yao Lao to make a choice, but for people like Pei Yuanhao, he must not be willing to have all the choices in the hands of others. Taking advantage of this time to do something, whether it is to win people's hearts or to give both kindness and power, it will only benefit him.
"Well, let's go today." He said: "They are really working hard in the south."
He said that, and walked outside. He took two steps and stopped again, looking back at me: "Qingying, why not go with me."
I thought about it and said with a smile: "I am afraid, Liu Zhaoyi doesn't want to see me."
Pei Yuanhao said: "It's okay, follow Yuquan. Speaking of which, you and Liu Yi are also considered fellow members. I believe he will be happy to see you."
I looked at him without saying anything.
I had a night meeting with Liu Yi before, but I didn’t tell anyone about this, but he might not know it either. But speaking of it, Liu Yi and I are indeed a divine friendship. If I can’t go there in person today, I hope to send him to him in my heart. Since Pei Yuanhao said that, I said, “Okay. I will go with you.”
After saying that, he walked out. Eunuch Yu hurried to me. As soon as he left the south wing, he saw Liu Zhaoyi's big formation in front of him. Several carriages outside the gate of the state government were already ready.
As soon as she saw Pei Yuanhao coming, she hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "I'm paying homage to the emperor."
"Get up."
Pei Yuanhao helped her stand up, and his originally beautiful face became thinner and he became haggard. Pei Yuanhao said softly: "Are you ready?"
"I am on behalf of my brother, thank the emperor for his kindness."
"Don't say that, Liu Qing is also my humble minister. I feel sorry for losing him." Pei Yuanhao said, gently holding her in his arms: "Today I will accompany you."
Liu Zhaoyi was shocked, opened her eyes wide and looked at Pei Yuanhao blankly, and suddenly knelt in front of him: "I thank the emperor for his kindness!"
Pei Yuanhao reached out and helped her up, looked at her red eyes, patted her hand gently, and then took her out.
Eunuch Yu kept watching from the side, looking at Pei Yuanhao and Liu Zhaoyi, and also looking at my face. At this time, he walked up to me carefully and whispered: "Miss Qing, it's time to leave."
“Ah…oh.”
I nodded, and walked out with him without saying anything.
Just after just two steps, Liu Li followed Pei Yuanhao out of the door. At the moment she went out, she turned around, and as soon as I looked up, my eyes were facing her.
There seemed to be a chill in those beautiful eyes. Although it was so far away, it seemed to seep into the heart.
I suddenly froze.
Eunuch Yu walked a long way, turned around and saw me froze in place, and hurried back: "Miss Qing? What's wrong with you?"
"..." I suddenly came to my senses, and Liu Li had turned around and walked out.
"No, it's okay."
"Hurry up and leave now, the carriage outside is still waiting."
"oh."
I hurriedly followed him out. At this time, the emperor and Liu Zhaoyi had already gotten on the carriage in front. Eunuch Yu beat me into a carriage in the back and stood beside him to remind the coachman to pay attention. I lifted up the curtain and looked at the guards following on both sides. It seemed that there were more than ever before, and the formation seemed a bit big.
There were already some people watching on the roadside, all of whom were blocked three feet away by the escorts of the prefecture. Noisy sounds spread from the long street, and people were vaguely heard talking about it.
"Mr. Liu is such a good official, what a pity!"
"The emperor is really nice to Lord Liu."
"I heard that Lord Liu is still urging the emperor to depose the untouchables before leaving. Is it true that the emperor is here this time..."
I slowly calmed down as I heard this. No matter what, he had made such a decision in his heart. No matter how difficult the matter is or how dangerous the road is, as long as he is determined, he will definitely be able to go on and get there!
Just as he was thinking, Eunuch Yu brought a mat and trotted over, handed it to me and said, "Miss Qing, what the Emperor gave it to you."
"Ah?" I was stunned for a moment, and then I saw Eunuch Yu smiling, and my eyes were almost gone: "The emperor knows that your carriage is not good, so I specially gave it to you."
The carriage is indeed very simple, and only the bare wooden boards are sitting on. It’s nothing to be seen when I just sat on it. After a long time, I would inevitably feel uncomfortable when I bumped inside. He actually thought of it. I took the mat and hugged it in my arms. Seeing Eunuch Yu looking at me with a smile, my face turned red, and I immediately put down the curtain.
.
With that mat, it’s really not that uncomfortable. I sit in this small car without anyone else, so I am leisurely and relaxed. From time to time, I lift the curtains to see the scenery outside.
But as I looked at it, I felt something was wrong.
The carriage headed westward and crossed several forks but did not go to the temple in the city, but went straight out of the city gate.
A hurriedly felt uneasy in my heart. Eunuch Yu hurriedly lifted the curtain. Eunuch Yu was walking outside. I asked, "Eunuch Yu, what temple are we going to do rituals for Lord Liu today?"
Eunuch Yu said justice: "You don't know yet, Hongye Temple."
"What?!"
I was shocked and suddenly I shuddered: "Hongye Temple?!"
Eunuch Yu was a little puzzled and was shocked, and said, "Liu Zhaoyi arranged it a long time ago. Speaking of which, Hongye Temple has a lot of connection with Lord Liu, so I chose it there. It was a little farther away - Miss Qing, what's wrong with you?"
Although I couldn't see my face, I knew that my face must have turned pale.
Red Leaf Temple!
Red Leaf Temple!
That was a stronghold for those assassins in the south, and Yao Lao and Nangong Lizhu were both there!
If Pei Yuanhao went there today, what would the people there do? Do you think the emperor suddenly wanted to attack them? If that is the case, then this misunderstanding would be huge. If something goes wrong, I am afraid that everything before will be wasted!
More importantly, Nangong Lizhu!
If Pei Yuanhao meets her-
"Stop - Stop!" I reached out and lifted the curtain with a whimper, and the sound was trembling, saying, "Stop!"
"Miss Qing, what's wrong with you?"
Eunuch Yu looked at me and was surprised. He came over and whispered: "This can't be stopped just by stopping. What's wrong with you, Miss Qing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage really stopped.
I was still shocked and couldn't react, but I heard a noisy sound in front of me. It seemed that someone had stopped the carriage. All the guards were on guard and rushed towards the front, leaving only a team of people guarding the carriage, but they all became alert.
What's wrong?
I was shocked and hurriedly looked forward, but the carriage and the crowd in front were crowded together, and I couldn't see clearly what had been born. Eunuch Yu immediately walked up and shouted as she walked, "Get out of the way!"
Soon, his figure disappeared into the crowd.
The noise in front became louder and louder, until Eunuch Yu was pale and walked out of the front with a stumble. After he went outside Pei Yuanhao's carriage and said something through the curtain, the familiar figure immediately jumped down from the carriage and walked forward quickly.
What happened when you were born?
My anxiety became more and more intense, and my heart seemed to be tightly pinched by an unknown black hand, and I couldn't even continue my breathing.
I struggled and got off the carriage, but when I got off the car, I staggered and fell to the ground with a bit ugly.
Shui Xiu did not follow him, and everyone around him paid attention to the front. I felt that my knees seemed to be worn out, so I could only grit my teeth and barely stand up and walk forward.
After finally rushing into the crowd, the tall guards felt something when they saw me and moved away from both sides. Soon I walked behind Pei Yuanhao.
The tall back in front of me was originally like a mountain, but at this moment, it trembled as if it was about to collapse with a bang.
It took a long time to hear his low voice. For some reason, maybe it was because I was standing behind me, and the voice seemed to be coming from my heart, making people feel palpitations-
"It's you?"
Who is it? My breathing became tighter and tighter, and I could hardly continue. I slowly stepped forward and saw a familiar, almost perfect face in front of him.
Chapter completed!
