The princess left, leaving the world with a surviving smile.

This smile makes her withered face look dazzling, like a white lotus blooming in a red lotus pond, the beauty is suffocating, and the beauty is painful.

Li Ke fainted.

It turns out that there is really a psychological reaction between people. As early as three days ago, when Qin Mubai wrote the urgent letter urging him to return to Beijing, he was accompanying the emperor's brother to a banquet in the Prince's East Palace. Everything was normal during the dinner. He suddenly felt an inexplicable distress. The pain was like a knife. He couldn't hold the wine glass and fell on the table. The princess's smile appeared in his mind involuntarily. He didn’t prepare for the mission, so he borrowed a few horses from the East Palace, and set off immediately with a few accompanying guards. He rushed for three days and three nights without stopping. He ran to death with four horses, and finally arrived when the princess died. Her last journey.

The guards accompanying them were all veterans of the Wu Palace. They were frightened and thought that Wu Wang suddenly suffered from some madness. Because they have been with King Wu for nearly ten years, they have never seen him so crazy.

Li Daozong put the little princess next to her mother who had just passed away and still had her body temperature. The little girl who was less than one year old stopped crying, rolled over and climbed on top of her, squeezing the bedding to grab the clothes on her chest.

She is hungry.

The whole room burst into tears. Li Daozong's resolute face filled with sharp edges and corners suddenly lost consciousness, and tears flowed down unconsciously.

Qin Mubai's throat suddenly became blocked, and she burst into tears.

In his life, he can't see a man's tears the most. Especially, the tears of indomitable men like Li Daozong.

"Mu Bai, take Ke'er down to rest, and call the doctor to get the pulse." Li Daozong said aloud, "Listen to the rest, the palace is busy with various tasks, preparing to take care of the funeral of the princess. Fan Xiangzhou governs Wu Bai Officials, all post to ask them to come to mourn the funeral, and King Qi of Dengzhou will also go to invite. The mourning chapter of the court above is written by the king himself. Now, except for the princess’s personal servants, the rest are left to clean up. !"

"Yes, Lord!"

Everyone listened and followed suit.

In a few short words, Qin Mubai deeply felt Li Daozong's calm and grandeur. The charm of a man blooms from his words and deeds.

If you want to come, too, when there are thousands of troops and horses, Li Daozong is still in command and calm, even though he is sad and crying, how can he lose his square?

Together with several guards carried Li Ke, who had fainted, Qin Mubai brought the crying princess Gao Yang out of the room.

Li Ke's noodles are like a dish, and his eyes are sunken. There is a deep smell of sweat on his body, his hair is almost tied, and his clothes are quite dirty.

After lifting him up to the bedroom, Qin Mubai called for a big bucket full of hot water, peeled him clean and threw him in, calling some Wu Wang's servant girls to help him bathe. In the meantime, Li Ke has never woken up.

Three days and three nights, rushing for a thousand and a hundred miles without sleep, people who are beaten by iron will be tired and half to death, let alone the prince who has been pampered since childhood. Perhaps, he has never suffered such pain since childhood. This time, it was because of the palpitations and thoughts in his heart that the ghost made such an amazing move.

Qin Mubai knew that he was a little touched. Generally speaking, Li Ke's full-fledged romance is somewhat cynical. The women around him change clothes more frequently than others, but his move is enough to show his deep feelings for the princess.

Before, he didn't even show anything. Qin Mubai once believed that there was only a purely "political marriage relationship" between him and Wangfei Yang, who had respect for each other, but there seemed to be no excessive feelings at all.

Like Li Shimin, he is lustful, but he is also a lover. At the beginning, didn't Li Shimin go to Zhaoling in private to celebrate the "birthday" of the grandson empress and play the pipa for her personally?

The attitude of Datang men towards feelings is naturally different from that of the 21st century. In the world of polygamy, especially in the royal houmen, the temperamental people like their father and son are rare.

……

Three days later, Li Ke opened his eyes. Seeing Qin Mubai sitting next to his bed dimly, his throat slid with difficulty, and his voice was low and dry, saying: "She's gone?"

"Well. The Royal Mansion is holding a funeral." Qin Mubai said.

Li Ke closed his eyes again, closing a little hard. Maybe it's a bit unsuitable to the strong light, maybe it's too much pain in my heart.

After a long while, Li Ke whispered: "She walks...Is it okay?"

"With a smile on his face, it is very sweet." Qin Mubai said.

"That's good..." Li Ke sighed and fell into a long silence.

Qin Mubai greeted the maidservants to get gruel, and helped Li Ke sit up and ate some. In the coma, he didn't eat anything, but was forced to feed some soup in by Qin Mubai's mouth open, so he nauseated after eating a little. After tossing for a long time, I only ate a few spoonfuls.

Looking at him now, he is really haggard and has lost a whole circle.

"Mu Bai, help me up and go to the mourning hall." Li Ke struggled to get up.

"You should lie down." Qin Mubai said, "King Jiang Xia is taking care of everything, so don't worry."

There is a sentence Qin Mubai didn’t want to say, but Li Ke definitely understood it, and thought about it—the husband does not sacrifice his wife, and many civil and military officials from all over Xiangzhou worshipped in the mourning hall. Li Ke went to show up at this time. Quite wrong.

"It's okay, go!" Li Ke insisted. Qin Mubai didn't have much to say, so he had to help him up. Although there is no filial piety, Li Ke insisted on putting on a golden and white dress.

The mourning hall is located in the main hall of the residence in the backyard of the Cishi Mansion. The soul flags are all white and white. All the officials under the Xiangzhou rule are filial piety and worship in order. Princess Wu believed in Buddhism during her lifetime, so Li Daozong ignored the Li family’s family tradition of attaching importance to Taoism and invited monks to serve as a dojo for the Princess.

Li Ke's bedroom was two corridors away from the main hall. Qin Mubai took him a few steps, and Li Ke insisted on walking. Although slow, he walked steadily step by step.

Passing through a room, I vaguely heard the whispering of several women inside.

"The princess has passed away, and it was the emperor's uncle who was presiding over the funeral. It is so beautiful!"

"Can it not be beautiful? She is the mistress, who is comparable to a woman like us?"

"Yes, yeah, we are the playthings that your Royal Highness can come and go! Hey! I don’t know if the princess will leave the position of the princess Wu, will he continue to enter the main room in the future Huh?"

"Hey, even if it’s the main room, I’m afraid it’s not our share! Actually, I don’t have much hope. I’m satisfied if I can stay here without being driven away. If I can be a ruin, I will burn incense to thank my ancestors. !"

Li Ke stopped and listened for a while. Qin Mubai saw that his expression hadn't changed at all, perhaps because he was too weak to make an expression, but in his eyes, a wave of anger surged.

"Boom!—"

There was a sudden loud noise, and Li Ke, who seemed to have no strength at all, suddenly broke out like a lion and kicked the door open.

Four women-the maid who served Li Ke's bed on weekdays, were so scared that they all jumped up.

"Get out!-all out!" Li Ke sternly shouted.

That voice, kill!

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please forgive me! Your Highness! Forgive me! The humble concubine is really unintentional!" The women were so frightened that they knelt in the room and knelt desperately to apologize.

"If you don't go away, I will pay the princess to pay the burial." Li Ke didn't yell, but said solemnly in his hoarse voice.

"Woo!—"The four women were so frightened that they rushed out of the room and ran away.

After several women ran clean, Qin Mubai said: "Your Majesty, don't get angry and hurt yourself."

"Hmm." Li Ke responded softly and waved his hand, "Let's go, go to the mourning hall."

Walking through a corridor, Li Ke stopped for a while and said, "Mu Bai, can you please give me an order, let the housekeeper seal a little money for these women, and let them go home and marry each other? Go. After all, they have been with me for a while. Although they have no name and no feelings, I don't want to be mean to them."

"Okay." Qin Mubai nodded and said in his heart that he would not lose his kindness by doing so. Sentiment returns to sentimental trading, and Li Ke is a person who values ​​the system and distinguishes grievances.

At the mourning hall, everyone was surprised to see Li Ke.

"Wu Wang is here!"

The officials stepped aside and let him go inside. Li Ke didn't say hello to anyone. He looked straight at the big coffin on the mourning hall and walked in step by step.

Li You, the king of Qi, has already arrived, and she is in the mourning hall with Princess Gao Yang as a family member to answer gifts. Li Daozong stood outside the mourning hall and presided over the overall situation. Seeing Li Ke approaching, he stepped forward to stop him.

"Ke'er, why are you here?" Li Daozong whispered, with a lot of pity and a hint of blame in his voice.

Li Ke arched his hands and said apologetically: "I really trouble you, Uncle Emperor. But I just want to come and see."

"No way." Li Daozong shook his head, and he was absolutely indisputable.

Li Ke's face trembled slightly, and he lowered his head for a long while without speaking.

"Go back and rest. Just have me here." Li Daozong softly advised Qin Mubai beside him, "Mubai, take him away."

"Uncle Emperor." Li Ke raised his head, wringing his thick eyebrows and said softly: "I beg of you."

Li Daozong and Qin Mubai were startled at the same time.

Li Ke said-"please."

I have known him for so long, and Qin Mubai has never heard him say this word.

Li Daozong didn't say a word, and moved aside.

"Uncle Xie Huang."

There were one or two hundred people on the scene, silent, watching Qin Mubai support Li Ke, step by step into the hall.

After the two entered, Princess Gaoyang and Li Youdu came forward together as if to comfort Li Ke, Li Ke waved his hand, and the two of them couldn't say anything, so they had to stand aside.

Li Ke walked to the side of the coffin and stretched out a hand to gently stroke the cold new lacquer coffin, startled.

"Open the coffin." Qin Mubai said.

Li Ke was taken aback, then looked at Qin Mubai in a blink of an eye, showing gratitude.

The master of ceremonies presided over the ceremony hurriedly came up and said: "The mage said, it is not appropriate to open the coffin after closing the coffin."

"Open the coffin." Qin Mubai increased his tone and repeated it again. The emcee was shocked and hurriedly stepped back, calling for a few monks to come forward and open the coffin.

The coffin is made of fine fragrant wood. The body of the princess is also antiseptic treated with spices, and the weather is not too hot. Therefore, the body of the princess is kept intact, with a smile on her face, wearing makeup The beautiful beaded headdress is still graceful, luxurious and beautiful.

"She slept soundly." Li Ke said in a low voice, reached into the coffin, and kissed the princess's face.

Princess Goyang burst into tears, and Li You hugged her quickly.

"Go with peace of mind, I will take good care of our daughter." Li Ke said softly, just like the sweet words whispered at the temples when lovers hugged each other, slowly said, "This life is very fate, the next life, Let's continue."

After that, Li Ke leaned down and kissed softly on the princess's forehead under the gaze of horrified eyes.

"Cover the coffin." Li Ke said two words after he got up, turned around and walked out of the mourning hall, passing by Qin Mubai's side and said: "Mubai, give me a stick of incense. She knows you, you and her Say, she will understand."

"Hmm."

Li Ke nodded, barely showing any expression on his face, and walked away.

From beginning to end, Li Ke did not shed tears.

But everyone present felt the hurtful breath that radiated from him.

It turns out that when the pain is so deep, the tears will forget to flow.

Li Ke is gone.

But the atmosphere at the scene is still stagnant, and everyone seems to have not recovered. In the end, Li Daozong ordered to continue the funeral, and the mourning hall was restored here.

Qin Mubai lit up the incense and respected the princess, sighing in his heart: After experiencing loss, talents will know how to cherish. King Wu, Princess, I hope you can really continue your relationship in the next life.

At this moment, Qin Mubai couldn't help but recall the words the princess had said before her death, and sighed in her heart. Until death, the princess was still worried about Li Ke's future life. She understood his heart deeply and knew what he was thinking about, what kind of talent he needed, and what he was suitable for.

"Now that the princess's bones are not cold, how can I mention Shuang'er with him brazenly?... Let them do whatever they want! I shouldn't even think about this kind of problem now, it's a sin!"

After offering the incense in front of the princess's spirit, Li Daozong asked Qin Mubai to accompany Li Ke.

When he came to Li Ke's bedroom, before Qin Mubai could speak, Li Ke asked: "How are you preparing for the ceremony of Emperor Yang's mausoleum?"

Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment, and nodded: "It's going well. After ten days, the ceremony can go on normally."

"That's good. These days are really hard for you." Li Ke was sitting on the couch, except that his voice was a little hoarse and low, and there was nothing unusual. He said, "I listened to your offer. As a result, the father is really happy. I have never seen his kind of heartfelt happiness. He left me in the palace for more than a month and let me be with him day and night. Growing up, except I did not grow up when I was a child, and I have never been with my father for such a long time. He also made an exception to take me to Huangyuan to shoot hunting, go boating in Taiye, and even let me accompany him in the Imperial Study Room to criticize memorials. Do you know? The fourth child's face is going green, haha!"

After laughing twice, Li Ke coughed again. Running for a thousand miles day and night, he was overworked and caught in the cold. He seemed to be suffering from a wind chill.

Qin Mubai heard countless sadness, helplessness, and sadness from his pale laugh.

Li Ke is a very strong person, he will not easily show his weakness and grief after injury in front of outsiders. Many men are like this, he is even more so as the prince. At this moment, he was just deliberately changing the subject, trying to distract and cover up these things.

"By the way, I met Wu Meiniang in Chang'an. She seems to be more beautiful than before." Li Ke also joked and said, "Qin Xiange's business is really good. It used to be more magnificent and beautiful. Rijin Doujin was popular in the whole town. I also informed Zheng Anshun who was back in the capital, and told her that she would come to Xiangzhou for business. She readily agreed and immediately proceeded to arrange to leave. Beijing went to Xiang. Originally, we had an appointment to come together, but I didn’t expect me to miss the appointment, so I took the first step. If I met her in the future, if she scolded me, you have to stop me from driving!"

Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "Are you tired?"

The corners of Li Ke's mouth twitched slightly, and he nodded stupidly: "I really feel a little tired when you say that."

"Then you have a good rest, I won't bother you." Qin Mubai said, got up and walked out.

"Mu Bai!"

"What?" Qin Mubai turned around and looked at him.

Li Ke smiled: "Thank you."

Qin Mubai smiled back: "Superfluous."

Out of the room, Qin Mubai gently closed the door and let out a sigh of relief.

In the whole room, almost all the sadness that Li Ke could not wave off was diffused, making Qin Mubai feel that he was immersed in a pool of grief. Walking out of the room feels relieved.

"Now, cry if you want to cry, cry if you want to cry, no one will see it." Qin Mubai sighed softly and said in his heart, "Who has stipulated that men must have no tears?"
