Chapter 173 The mourning of Yan'an City

...

The second day of the second month.

That day was the last snow in Yan'an City that year. It was not heavy, but it was floating and still painted the whole city with a layer of white color.

What does the snow look like?

Can the difference in the air sprinkling of salt be calculated?

Why are the catkins rising from the wind?

The snow on the second year of junior high school definitely has no artistic conception mentioned by poets of all generations.

It is not like willow catkins or white salt.

This white is solemn and sad. When the suona sounds, it is like white paper everywhere on the road to the underworld, and ghosts are rampant, as if there are major grievances that are about to rush into the sky.

Carrying the nanmu coffin of the eldest princess Rong Ruiji into Yan'an City, the people all knelt on both sides of the street, everyone's bodies fell white, their hands, feet and faces were red from the cold, which could not stop this shocking mourning sound.

"Princess, you can go all the way..."

People cried, for princesses and for Nanyan.

When many people saw the envoys and guards of the Yunfan Kingdom, they rushed up to fight them.

A little girl asked, "Where has Your Highness the Princess?"

The parents replied, "The eldest princess went to heaven to be a fairy, and bless us."

These words made many people extremely sad.

Outside the crowd, there was a man wearing a straw hat and a gray gown standing under the tree.

He looked at the nanmu coffin with the princess in his eyes. He seemed to be able to penetrate the coffin and see the pale person inside and no longer breathed. His face was calm at this moment.

The man was crying, and his fingernails holding the tree trunk grabbed blood, hoping to break his fingers.

A little further away, Gu Wanqing and Xuan Ming held an umbrella and stood at a commanding height, and could clearly see the man's actions.

Gu Wanqing wrapped her two arms in two circles and placed them in front of her eye sockets like a telescope.

The man was Monk Xuan Si.

Gu Wanqing smiled with satisfaction, "He still can't bear to bear it, so that's easy..."

Xuan Ming dusted the snow on Gu Wanqing's cloak, and then pulled her collar a little tighter, for fear that the general would catch a cold.

"General, today the princess is welcomed back to the tomb. Isn't it easy for us not to go?"

"Don't worry, there are so many people today, no one will care about us."

"I mean, the princess is pretending to die. She will definitely not last long just by sealing the acupoints. If they remove the coffin... wouldn't it be a mistake?" Xuan Ming said worriedly.

Since she learned about this plan, she has often been worried about this and that. No matter how much Gu Wanqing comforted her, she was still very scared.

First, he was afraid that Chu Hao, who pretended to be an eunuch, would be in danger, and second, he was afraid that anyone would know that the princess was pretending to be sick and pretending to die.

This can be different from the march and war, and the process is very exciting.

Gu Wanqing put down his hand and touched Xuan Ming's head to comfort him: "Bai Jue said that he had arranged everything, and everything was still in accordance with the ritual of the princess' burial. Moreover, the death of the princess is a foregone conclusion. The royal family is not an ordinary person. If you make some crying scenes, the highlight will be placed on this negotiation with Yunfan Kingdom."

Xuan Ming couldn't understand the key points, and sighed in the snowy day, "I hope Chu Hao and Bai Erye can rescue the princess smoothly."

"Well, I believe they will do it."

Gu Wanqing looked at the cloudy day of snow. As long as there was no mistake today, she rescued the princess later, and the matter came to an end.

When she was a child, she saw the Concubine Huan Princess, and she thought that helping Xiang Fei escape was ridiculous and nonsensical.

I didn't expect that I did this ridiculous thing too.

Xuan Ming glanced at Gu Wanqing and asked depressedly, "General, but I still don't understand one thing. This eldest princess is very different from our lives, and she is not familiar with the Gu family, let alone Mr. Bai, who has not grown up in Yan'an City since childhood. Since she has no feelings, she can't even talk about friends. Why do you and Mr. Bai still work so hard to help the eldest princess realize her dream? Besides, this is not a good thing. As a princess, she is so selfish, she only thinks about her children's love and is happy."

"Is it selfish..."

Gu Wanqing remained silent for a while.

Human nature is selfish, and she and Bai Jue are willing to help the eldest princess, so the reason must be that selfless.

As for Bai Jue, he has many reasons.

For example, the eldest princess has a strong personality and will sooner or later die in the Yunfan Kingdom, which is not a good thing for Nanyan. It is better to go with the flow and let the princess pretend to be sick and turn the blame on the Yunfan Kingdom.

Secondly, the princess is the childhood sweetheart of His Highness the Crown Prince and Bai Ling. Bai Ling once expressed his helplessness. Bai Jue values ​​his brother very much in his heart, especially Bai Ling will not be able to continue living soon, and he does not want his brother to leave any regrets.

Third, the reason is the same as Gu Wanqing.

They are all born to be troubled by some fallacies, and they will be troubled for a lifetime.

Perhaps Bai Jue didn't agree with Nan Yan's many actions from the bottom of his heart, and he always had a voice of resistance in his heart.

Rong Ruiji is a good person, and there is no need for her to sacrifice her freedom for the so-called "excellent marriage".

She should resist.

If everyone could resist for themselves, the two brothers of the Bai family would not have lived such a hard life.

Since the princess has such an opportunity, Bai Jue is willing to help her.

In the end, Gu Wanqing still did not answer such a complicated question as Xuan Ming.

Gu Wanqing hooked Xuan Ming's shoulder and smiled and said, "You will know when you really grow up. But I hope you don't grow up."

...

The princess was buried in the tomb.

As for the subsequent posthumous titles and a series of honors after death, Gu Wanqing couldn't remember them even after hearing this.

Bai Jue said that she was just a princess. If it weren't for the intimate relationship between the two countries, she wouldn't have had such huge attention.

Moreover, in two months, everyone will forget the grief of the princess when she died.

More importantly, what kind of benefits will Nan Yan get from the princess' death in the Yunfan Kingdom?

The Bai family will be very busy during this period, so Bai Jue just took the time to come over and report safety to Gu Wanqing.

He also said that the princess had settled and lived in a small house outside the city.

He also urged Gu Wanqing not to visit him. Being discovered by others was secondly, mainly to let the princess know that since they erased her identity, she had nothing to do with everyone in Yan'an City before.

No one will help her in the future. Without a general, a prince, or a marquis' mansion, she needs to rely on herself.

Bai Jue and Gu Wanqing have no obligation to take care of her future life.

Rong Ruiji said she could accept it, and this was the path she chose.

At that time, Rong Ruiji and Rong He failed to plan the escape plan and were already desperate. She would not have thought that Bai Jue told her a shocking plan after going to Yunban Country - pretending to be sick and dying in Yunban Country.
