Chapter 148 Mourning Hall
Dan Feng, Yue Yan and Hua Diao finally found their two masters at the bottom of the cliff, but white sails had already been hoisted in Prince Yan's Mansion. Two coffins were placed in the hall, each containing a set of summer clothes belonging to Xie Zhichan and Pei Yi.
Pei Yuan, the Prince of Yan, was sitting in the hall in white mourning clothes, his face as pale as a person who had been ill for a long time. He originally had a head full of black hair, but after hearing that Pei Yi had fallen off the cliff, in just a few days, a few strands of white hair had appeared on his temples.
Lin came in wearing white mourning clothes. She was angry when she saw Pei Yuan looked like he had lost his soul, but she still asked patiently, "Your Highness, the steward is waiting outside the door. How many monks should we invite from Daxingshan Temple to pray for Yi'er and the Crown Princess?"
Pei Yuan raised his head, stared at Lin for a long time, and said, "Are you so eager for Yi'er to not come back? The emperor just issued an order to withdraw the imperial guards who were searching for him, and they haven't even found Yi'er's body, and you're rushing to set up a mourning hall and build a cenotaph for the two of them!"
There were many servants busy coming and going outside the hall. They all heard what Pei Yuan said, but they pretended not to hear and hurried past.
This was the first time in Lin's life that Pei Yuan treated her so humiliatingly. She immediately cried, "Prince! What on earth are you talking about? Am I in a hurry to set up a mourning hall? The emperor's decree also said that Yi'er and the Crown Prince's Consort unfortunately fell off a cliff, and they have been searched for so many days but still haven't found them. What hope is there?"
I saw that the prince was so devastated that he didn't even care about the affairs of the palace. Poor Yi'er died tragically, and there was no one to take care of his affairs after his death. But the prince blamed me for cursing Yi'er, didn't he? "
Pei Yuan knew that there must be something fishy about Pei Yi falling off the cliff. How could he fall off the cliff while hunting? Could it be possible that he could chase his prey to the edge of a cliff and not be able to stop?
But the emperor's edict did not explain any reason.
He felt somewhat resentful, hating himself for being almost a cripple now, unable to carry a sword and go to the battlefield, which was why others bullied his Prince Yan's Mansion to this point.
He said to Lin: "Anyway, I want to see him alive or his body dead."
Lin was still crying while wiping her eyes with a handkerchief. After hearing Pei Yuan's words, she gave in and took off her handkerchief and said, "If the prince wants to see Yi'er's body, he has to be able to find him, right? Hundreds of imperial guards have been searching for several days but can't find him. It will probably take a long time to find him. Are we going to leave them both to wandering ghosts forever?"
He then said, "Your Highness, don't just focus on the big one that has passed away. You should also take care of the small one that is in front of you. Let Song'er inherit the throne as the Crown Prince as soon as possible so that he can understand the burden on his shoulders."
Pei Yuan became more impatient as he listened, "Master, please wait. I will ask the emperor to make Song'er the crown prince tomorrow. Do you have anything else to do?"
After hearing this, Lin said, "I still have to deal with the invitations to various families, so I won't bother the prince anymore."
Then he turned and left——
After Pei Yi and Xie Zhichan were found by Dan Feng and Yue Yan, they were not in a hurry to leave the cliff that day.
It was because Pei Yi felt that during the days when he and Xie Zhichan were living as savages at the bottom of the cliff, without being disturbed by others, and both of them were devoted to each other, wasn't this the life of a couple in heaven?
So no matter how Danfeng persuaded them, they had to stay at the bottom of the cliff for another night and go back the next morning. Poor Danfeng and Yueyan didn't even have a bed, so Xie Zhichan temporarily made two single mats for them with hay.
She advised Danfeng and Yueyan, "You two should just take a vacation here at the bottom of the cliff. Your grandfather and I have been staying here for a few days. There are no wild animals around, so you don't have to keep watch at night. Relax your tense nerves and take a rest."
Dan Feng and Yue Yan thought about it and decided to follow Xie Zhichan's advice. They followed Pei Yi and Xie Zhichan and lived a primitive life as savages.
When Yue Yan learned that many of the wooden "furniture" in the cave were made by the Crown Prince's Consort, she was not only amazed at her ability to survive in the wild, but also asked for her advice.
Xie Zhichan had nothing to do, so he orally told Yue Yan all his set of modern special agent outdoor survival skills. Dan Feng also learned enthusiastically and secretly decided to incorporate all these skills into the training program of the Dark Guard after returning.
The four people and the bird spent another night at the bottom of the cliff. On the second morning, it was a rare occasion that all four of them slept until they woke up naturally.
The next day they climbed up the cliff. It was already afternoon and everyone in the royal garden, except for a few gatekeepers, had returned to Beijing.
A few people asked for four horses in the garden. When they arrived at the gate of the capital city on horseback, it was already dark and the city gate was locked.
Pei Yi didn't want to make a big fuss about the soldiers guarding the city gate. It was already tiring for them to guard the city gate all day long, so he took Xie Zhichan to an inn two miles outside the capital to stay.
When they returned to Prince Yan's Mansion, it was already the second day since Pei Yuan asked the Emperor for permission to replace the Crown Prince.
The eunuch sent by Emperor Jingde happened to arrive at Prince Yan's mansion to announce the decree.
Everyone knelt in front of the screen wall to listen to the decree. Lin and Pei Jingrou's faces were radiant. From now on, the Prince of Yan's Mansion would completely belong to them.
Pei Jingrou couldn't help but look at Pei Jingyu with pride. What's the point of being beautiful? Her mother died early, her elder sister married far away, and now she doesn't even have a capable brother. Her father is a person who doesn't care about things. In the future, she will have to live in this mansion according to her and her mother's mood.
She will definitely ask her mother to pick a good husband for Pei Jingyu, preferably a widower in his sixties or seventies as a second wife, with a bunch of adult stepchildren and stepsons, which will make her suffer to death!
Pei Jingyu had no idea that Pei Jingrou had been maliciously planning the rest of her life. She was just sad. Ever since her elder brother went to the battlefield, she had been worried that such a day would come. Now that day had come, she had practiced it countless times in her mind, but she still found it hard to accept. How could her elder brother, who was so wise and brave, fall off a cliff and die?
Now even the corpse is not found.
Pei Nansong was a little puzzled. A bright yellow imperial edict was placed in his hand. From today on, he would take over the position of the eldest brother? But the eldest brother was so hard-working. In his impression of the eldest brother, the most profound memory was that the eldest brother had to get up very early every day to practice martial arts and read piles of military books.
He couldn't help but ask his mother, Lin: "Mother, is it hard to be a prince?"
Before Lin could answer, Pei Yuan said to him, "Song'er, the prince will inherit your father's position and become the master of the Yanwang Mansion in the future, so you must be capable enough to take on the responsibilities of the Yanwang Mansion. My Pei family was established on horseback, so from today on, you will practice martial arts for two more hours every day. You only need to read the basics of the Four Books and Five Classics in the school, and read more military books. From today on, after school, come to your father's study and read military books with me."
When Pei Nansong heard this, he felt that he would not survive, and immediately twisted his mother and cried, "Wuwuwu, mother, father is going to torture Song'er to death! I don't want to be the crown prince anymore!"
The eunuch who announced the decree was still standing in the yard. After hearing this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and glanced at Pei Nansong.
Pei Yuan felt that he had lost all his face, so he took out a silver ingot, stuffed it into the eunuch's hand and said, "Children's words are innocent, don't worry about it, eunuch."
The eunuch was delighted to receive the silver and said, "Your Majesty, although children may speak without restraint, you must not speak of disobeying the emperor's order."
Pei Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, thank you for your advice, eunuch."
As he said this, he sent the eunuch out the door first.
