After rebirth, the princess is both pretentious and arrogant

Chapter 176
After Chu Jiyao passed away, according to her last wish, she was cremated on the spot and the ashes were taken to Yunmeng Mountain by Liu Nianci.

Qin Yue strongly opposed it, how could there be no bones in the mausoleum.

But when Chu Jiyao was dying, he still held Qin Yue's hand, telling him to do what he asked.Qin Yue had been filial all his life, and he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

Emperor Qinghe ordered people to bring huanghuali wood in Xingye, set up a pyre in Bishui Villa, and cremated Chu Jiyao here.

The sky is raining continuously, and the petals are drooping, as if they have spirituality, feeling sad for the parting of life and death in this world.The birds that used to chirp, dance and play on the branches, now they are all standing on the branches with their feathers folded, singing sadly, which is very shocking.

Emperor Qinghe brought Yang Hao, Chen Chong and others to see Chu Jiyao off for the last time.He stood in the rain without letting anyone hold an umbrella for him, allowing the raindrops to slide down his face and soak the dragon robe.

Looking at the jumping flames and the thick smoke rising, Emperor Qinghe's face was cold and serious, and his brow was full of worry.He closed his eyes slightly, as if recalling the past.

Qin Yue was like a carved wood, knelt on the ground in hemp and mourning, his eyes were red like blood.The extreme grief made him feel emotionally numb, his face was like a stone, and he would neither cry nor weep.

Unlike Qin Yue, Gu Mingshu held Liu Nianci's hand tightly and stood beside the fire, tears pouring down like rain, sobbing uncontrollably.

The relatives of the past are now turned into green smoke and dust.What's the use of finding a panacea in the future?

Liu Nianci's grief was not less than that of Qin Yue and Gu Mingshu.

It was not easy to get to know my sister, but we only got along for a few days, and I still couldn't say enough words, but now we are separated forever.Over the years, the voice, appearance and smile only stay in my mind, even if I have the emotional heartfelt words before, who can I talk to.

While weeping, Gu Mingshu squinted at Emperor Qinghe, seeing that there were fewer people around him.Gao Mingyi and Qingli who served him were not around, and even some servant girls who had served Chu Jiyao personally were gone.

It wasn't until thicker and blackened smoke rose into the sky from another place behind the villa that Gu Mingshu suddenly understood.Those people had already been ordered by Emperor Qinghe to go with Chu Jiyao.

The black smoke rising from the sky is their souls.

In the blink of an eye, tears fell, and Gu Mingshu felt sad.Mourn for those dead souls.

Companion King is more than just like a tiger, it is simply accompanying Yan Luo.

Looking back at the fire in front of her again, Gu Mingshu sighed even more sadly, if Chu Jiyao hadn't protected her mother and daughter, there might be their dead souls in the other thick smoke rising into the sky.

Until the fireworks were extinguished and the ashes were cool, Emperor Qinghe ordered people to take Chu Jiyao's ashes and put them in the columbarium and hand them over to Chu Jiyao.

The best gloomy wooden coffin has also been prepared long ago, with all kinds of rare treasures inside, including Chu Jiyao's clothes, and it will only wait for the capital to be buried in the ancestral tomb of the Hailing royal family.

"I think you are Ji Yao's younger sister. I promised her that I will not pursue the past. As for your future, it depends on you." Emperor Qinghe left these few words coldly, and took people away .

Gu Mingshu looked at the tall and indifferent back, and felt terrified in his heart.A few days ago, she naively thought that the emperor was actually kind and righteous, and he had a pleasant face in private. Although he had the majesty of an emperor, he had the face of a loving father.

Only now did she realize that she was wrong, and it was a big mistake.The emperor is affectionate, but he is not fraternal.

As Chu Jiyao said, there are very few people in the world who can see through Emperor Qinghe's heart.Now that Chu Jiyao passed away, there was one less person who could see through Emperor Qinghe's heart and know what he was thinking.

Gu Mingshu only understands, and only needs to understand, that Emperor Qinghe has changed back to that indifferent and unpredictable emperor, which makes the living people feel lingering fear.

Thinking about it this way, I feel that people from the world like Qi Ming are much more at ease.

But, is Qi Ming really at ease?
Gu Mingshu didn't think much about it, she was going back to the house to pack her things, and together with Qin Yue, she helped the coffin back to Beijing.

As they were walking back, Chen Chong, who was supposed to stay by the emperor's side, stood in front of him with his arms folded, as if he was waiting for them.

"My lord, I have something to say to the concubine." Chen Chong said.

"Since I'm talking to her, why do I need to talk to this king?" Qin Yue looked cold, and after taking a sidelong glance at Gu Mingshu, he left straight away.

Everyone understood his state of mind at this moment, and naturally he didn't think too much about his cold and arrogant attitude.

Chen Chong sighed, and asked in a low voice: "Princess, how did you think about what I said to you before?"

Gu Mingshu's head was buzzing at this moment, and he couldn't tell if he was asking about the sentence he had said before, so he just let out a puzzled "uh".

Chen Chong said bluntly: "It is to let you worship under my name, take the medical examination, and become a female medical officer of Dazhao."

Gu Mingshu smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, Imperial Physician Chen, for your appreciation. Actually, Mother is right. I study medicine, and I just choose what I like to learn. If I really let me study systematically, I'm afraid the more I learn, the worse it will be."

Chen Chong shook his head again and again, "It is precisely because of systematic learning that your medical skills will be improved. If you really just pick up what you like to learn like now, once you encounter a bottleneck or lose interest, you will give up. Wouldn't that be a waste of talent. Let me help you, and you will become my first female medical officer in Dazhao, and even the female character can be removed."

What happened to Chu Jiyao hit Gu Mingshu hard.She devoted herself wholeheartedly for a year, thinking that she could be cured, but finally failed, which made her unable to accept it for a while.

Therefore, Gu Mingshu wanted to reject Chen Chong's warm invitation.It can be imagined that this is the third time Chen Chong mentioned it, and his attitude is sincere, not like a whim.

What's more, during this period, Emperor Qinghe showed his uncertain nature many times. Every time at that time, Chen Chong would change his ways to help her cover up some mistakes, and smooth things over for her everywhere. This friendship is very real.

If he refused directly, it would be too hurtful and disrespectful, and it would block his way.

After thinking about it for a while, Gu Mingshu said politely: "Thank you, Imperial Physician Chen, for your love. But I don't care about discussing things right now. It would be nice to talk about it when we return to the capital."

Chen Chong frowned, "Of course, this is of course. The Sri Lankan has passed away, and the concubine's condolences have changed. Then let's go back to the capital and talk about it, and the old man will not disturb you."

Gu Mingshu nodded slightly, didn't say much, and went back to the house to pack her bags.

Just as he was packing up, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound from the direction of Xiefangzhai, and soon the air mixed with smoke and dust rolled in through the window.

Gu Mingshu frowned, calling Chunhua to ask about the situation.

"The emperor's troops have already left Bishui Villa. Before leaving, the emperor ordered General Yang to destroy Bishui Villa." Chunhua said.

"He can walk fast." Gu Mingshu thought inwardly, "This kind of small place where you raise your head to look at the sky and look at a pool of water, without the people he cares about, really can't stay for a moment."

If we can go back, why should we destroy Bishui Villa?
Gu Mingshu quickly figured it out.This place is Qi Ming's stronghold, and Emperor Qinghe will definitely not come again in the future. If it is not destroyed, what's the use of keeping it.

This is the place where he and Princess Chu once lived, is it reserved for ordinary people to live here?

"Isn't the prince in charge of the matter in the village? Why did it suddenly change hands to General Yang?" Gu Mingshu said.

Although she said so in her mouth, she knew it in her heart.Qi Ming has managed this place for many years, and although he has left many secret passages for him to escape, he still has the mentality that this place will never be known to outsiders.Then there must be many secrets hidden here that he can't take away or destroy when he escapes.

When Emperor Qinghe asked Yang Hao to destroy Bishui Villa, he naturally found the useful evidence that could be found. As for the evidence that could not be found, of course he destroyed it together with the villa, so as not to be found in this place in the future. Something that is not good for him.

Although Qin Yue is the king of Hailing, in the heart of the emperor, what he should know about this knife is certainly not as good as a close minister like Yang Hao.

Gu Mingshu didn't ask any more questions after he figured out the key point.She also wanted to leave this sad place as soon as possible.Even if this place is not destroyed, she will not come back in the future, and there is no reason to come back.If it's ruined, it's ruined. It's best to take her sorrow away with her.

Gu Mingshu tidied up her things slowly, and Chunhua, who was helping at the side, frowned. She couldn't understand and didn't dare to ask.

She probably doesn't do much storage and tidying, so she puts it away very slowly, looking here and there to find something, which is neither organized nor efficient.

Chunhua hurried forward to help, collected all the odds and ends and put them on the table, letting Gu Mingshu choose what she wanted to take away.

Suddenly, Chunhua found a letter from under Gu Mingshu's pillow, which seemed to contain something hard.

"Princess, look at this." She hurriedly handed it to Gu Mingshu.

Gu Mingshu took a look at the flamboyant words "Madam's letter" on the envelope, and knew it was written by Qi Ming.

She frowned suspiciously and opened it, only to find that it contained a jade pendant and a letter.

She casually placed the jade pendant on the table, and then opened the letter.
