Chapter 382: A grand funeral
The tent was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Kneeling on the ground, feeling the cold gaze above my head.
Murong Shuning's voice choked with sobs as she forced herself to calm down. "The prince's body was eaten by wild beasts, and only some scraps of clothing were found. All the people under the prince's command were killed by the beasts!"
"Good, good! Good!" Three good words in a row.
The emperor was in a good mood.
Murong Shuning walked out of the tent in a daze, and when she saw the nanny sent by the Queen Mother, tears instantly rolled down her cheeks.
A quarter of an hour later, the news that the War King had died at the hands of a wild beast spread throughout the enclosure.
The Empress Dowager fainted upon hearing the news, and the Emperor immediately ordered all the people from the Imperial Hospital to stay by her side.
At the same time, he immediately issued an order to arrest Xiao Lijing and Chu Wanyu.
The eunuch delivering the decree was slightly stunned, and the emperor continued, "Order everyone, I only want to see the body of Prince Zhan! Princess Zhan... after she is captured, she will be locked up in a secret cell!"
Chu Wanyu has superb medical skills.
Such a person must be held in one's own hands.
Only then can he feel at ease.
The eunuch who delivered the decree understood and said, "Yes!"
After the imperial edict was issued, no one dared to discuss the matter of the War King.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, the whole paddock was filled with crying.
At the Prime Minister's Mansion, the old lady almost couldn't help laughing when she heard the news.
Chu Qinglian, who was standing by, reminded her in time, "Mother, the princess was born to a prime minister, we have to help with the funeral!"
A bone-chilling voice.
The old lady's heart trembled, and she immediately picked up a handkerchief to wipe away the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes. "Yes, yes, yes, this child has had a miserable life since childhood. I never thought he would end up like this!"
"My poor sister!"
Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.
Chu Ruoran came hurriedly, her face full of tears, "Grandma, father, my sister has such a miserable life! The Queen Mother has fainted, I must help the Zhan Palace with the funeral arrangements with Grandma!"
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
The old lady's eyebrows moved, "What do you want to do?"
"Since my sister is gone, the dowry should be handed over to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Look at the old lady's happy face.
Allen Chu changed the subject and said, "Father is having a hard time in the court, and the Marquis's Mansion is thriving, so I want to use the dowry to pave the way for my father!"
Hypocritical.
The old lady was dissatisfied but did not dare to express it. "Okay, it's good that you have such filial piety, but we have to discuss this matter when we get back!"
"Yes!"
No one was sad when Chu Wanyu left.
Everyone is eyeing the dowry.
According to imperial law, a woman's dowry is considered private property. If she has no children in her husband's family, her parents can take back all the dowry after her death.
Chu Wanyu got married in a red dress and had a lot of property.
What's more, Chu Wanyu once made a bet with the prince of the island country and others and won millions of silver.
The dowry is like a piece of fat meat, and everyone wants to take a bite.
The news of Xiao Lijing's death quickly spread back to the capital.
To express his grief, the emperor took everyone back to the capital.
Along the way, the people cried loudly, feeling sorry for the King of War.
……
"Your Majesty, look!"
Chu Wanyu and Xiao Lijing were playing chess. Hearing the noisy sound, they turned around to look.
Jingzhe ran in with a cold face, "Your Highness, the capital is holding a funeral for you now!"
Chu Wanyu curled her lips, "As expected! Was it a grand event?"
Both eyes were full of curiosity.
Jingzhe's mouth twitched. Is this the point?
The point is that they have said that the prince is dead.
He didn't dare to speak and handed the letter over with both hands.
Xiao Lijing glanced at him, his eyes indifferent, "The more grand the funeral is, the more it reflects his benevolence as a king!"
Unfortunately, he was disappointed in the end.
Chu Wanyu raised an eyebrow, "Someone actually dared to touch my dowry. If they touch even one cent, I'll make them pay back ten!"
"Your Highness, according to our observations, several groups of men in black have all arrived at the foot of the cliff."
This was because they were worried, so they sent wave after wave of killers.
Chu Wanyu yawned. "Even if they dig three feet deep, they won't be able to find us. However, the emperor is quite cautious!"
Xiao Lijing paused and dropped a piece, "So this is what a guilty person does!"
"Then when are we going back?" Chu Wanyu touched his chin, "Let's pretend to be ghosts and scare them to death!"
Looking at her delicate little face, she is lively and smart.
Xiao Lijing curled his lips, "No rush! Let them be happy for a few days!"
"That's not right! Didn't we give the jade pendant that represents our status to His Majesty? Otherwise, why didn't he vomit blood?"
Chu Wanyu asked doubtfully.
Jingzhe's face turned grim. "According to our people, Murong Shuning didn't hand over the jade pendant at all, but kept it for himself!"
A woman actually secretly kept a man's things.
Even if that jade pendant may not belong to Xiao Lijing.
In Murong Shuning's view, it is also a kind of commemoration.
Chu Wanyu clicked her tongue twice and patted Xiao Lijing on the shoulder, "You, you don't know how to be gentle with women. Look at all the bad peach blossoms everywhere!"
"There are three thousand rivers of water, but I only take one scoop!" Xiao Lijing looked at Chu Wanyu affectionately, waved his long arm, and held her in his arms.
Seeing this, Jingzhe ran out quickly.
The two of them had been flirting with each other for the past few days, and he had already gotten used to it, so he left quickly.
