The little cannon fodder kept releasing melons, and people lined up to eat melons

When Song Qianning woke up, she found herself lying on the bed. She got up, walked out of the room barefoot with her hair loose.

Against the light, she saw a man resting against a tree. When did he start liking to wear black clothes?

Jiu Ye, who was on the tree, heard the noise, looked down and saw Song Qianning walking out barefoot, so he turned over and jumped down.

Against the light, Song Qianning couldn't see his face clearly. The string in her heart broke, and she slowly walked up to him.

"I don't think I ever asked you to wear black..."

Song Qianning muttered to herself and reached out to touch his cheek. Jiu Ye saw her dazed look and heard what she said, and probably guessed that she had recognized the wrong person.

Because he always wears black, because black will not let the enemy see his weak spots where he is injured.

Jiu Ye took two steps back, bowed and said respectfully: "Empress, you have the wrong person..."

Song Qianning then saw clearly that it was Jiu Ye. She smiled self-deprecatingly and continued to walk out...

Jiu Ye followed closely behind him and reminded him: "Empress, you are not wearing shoes, be careful not to hurt your feet..."

Song Qianning seemed not to hear his words and just walked forward slowly.

Jiu Ye had no choice but to say: "My Queen, I'm sorry."

Jiu Ye walked forward and picked her up like a princess, walked quickly back to the bedroom, and put her down on the bed.

Jiu Ye squatted down and carefully wiped the soles of Song Qianning's feet with his sleeves, then took out her shoes and gently put them on her.

During the whole process, Song Qianning just sat there blankly without saying a word. Her eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, without a single ray of light.

"Empress, should we write a letter to the Emperor to reassure him..."

Song Qianning seemed to have heard something funny. She sneered and said, "I am not well, why should I expect him to be well? Who the hell is he?"

If he had not been so stubborn as to launch wars of aggression everywhere, causing his eldest brother to be implicated, and if nothing had happened to his eldest brother, how could his eldest sister-in-law and mother have died?

Jiu Ye hurriedly stopped her and said, "Empress, please be careful with your words..."

"What is there to be cautious about? What do I have to be afraid of now? Also, please stop calling me Queen. I feel sick when I think about being married to someone like that..."

Song Qianning yelled excitedly. When she thought about how her family was indirectly killed by Murong Jingchu's ambition, the anger in her heart began to burn.

She started smashing things like crazy. Jiu Ye was afraid that she would hurt herself, so he could only hold her hand and kept persuading her: "Queen, please calm down..."

"I told you not to call me Queen, don't you understand what I'm saying? I'm not the Queen, I'm Song Qianning, I'm my mother's daughter, my brother's sister, not the Queen, not... not..."

Song Qianning was so provoked by Jiu Ye's words that she punched and kicked him. When Song Qianxue came in, she saw her third sister with disheveled hair and hysterics, and she was really scared.

The next second, she felt another wave of pain. If her elder brother, sister-in-law and mother had not yet been buried, she would not have been able to hold on.

Song Qianxue stepped forward and hugged her third sister, comforting her softly. She said: "Third sister, calm down... Don't scare me. Now there are only you and me left in the Marquis' Mansion. If anything happens to you, I can't bear it..."

Song Qianning, who was originally noisy, stopped after hearing Song Qianxue's voice and leaned quietly in Song Qianxue's arms.

Song Qianning hugged Song Qianxue and burst into tears. She said sadly: "Big sister, it's gone. I have nothing left. I'm a little tired and don't want to hold on any longer..."

Song Qianxue patted her back to comfort her: "You still have me, I will accompany you..."

Song Qianning hugged her only relative and cried loudly, while Song Qianxue also cried while hugging her...

With Murong Jingsheng's arrangement, the mourning hall was quickly set up and three coffins were placed in the main hall.

The ministers who came to pay their respects were filled with sorrow. No one had expected that within just a month, they would watch the people in the Marquis' Mansion pass away one after another.

Even the only grandson was not spared. Now, only the Queen and Princess Rui are left in the Marquis' Mansion.

It’s not that a shrewd person can’t see that the fate of the people in this mansion has nothing to do with the emperor, but at this critical juncture, who dares to say a word more?

There is no need to say much about the relationship between the Marquis's family and the emperor. This is the end of the matter. Who are they? So even if they have doubts, they dare not think about it further.

The people from the Duke's Mansion also rushed to the Marquis' Mansion. The old lady didn't expect that she would have to send off her loved ones. None of her daughters and grandchildren were left. The old lady fainted on the spot...

When Murong Jing first arrived at the Marquis's Mansion, those who were burning incense and praying immediately knelt down to pay their respects.

After Murong Jingchu asked them to get up, he took the incense handed to him by Eunuch Liu and offered a sacrifice.

Murong Jingchu walked to Song Qianning. Dressed in white, Song Qianning looked even more fragile. She knelt with dull and numb eyes.

"Empress, you have lost a lot of weight these days. Come back to the palace with me later!"

Song Qianning didn't even glance at Murong Jingchu, and said in a hoarse voice: "I want to accompany my mother and not go anywhere..."

Song Qianxue's throat hurt so much that she couldn't speak. She wanted to plead for her third sister, but she was afraid that her voice would upset the emperor.

Murong Jingsheng explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Queen is worried about her mother and brother who have not yet been buried, and she is unwilling to return to the palace. Moreover, the Queen's mood is very unstable today. If we force her to return to the palace, it may not be appropriate. It is better to wait for a few days..."

Murong Jingchu also agreed with what his second brother said, and considering that Qian Ning was indeed sad, he did not force it.

Moreover, he now wants to take over all of Song Chengyi's industries, and the Beilin front needs a lot of food and fodder. He has been very busy recently.

Forget it, let Qian Ning stay in the Marquis' Mansion for a few days. After her aunt and the others are buried, Qian Ning will get better.

From now on, Qian Ning will be able to stay in the palace with him with peace of mind, and he will be able to share the world with Qian Ning.

Yaohua Palace...

Dugu Yan burned incense at the tablets of her mother and Banxia. She wanted to tell them the good news.

"Mother, it has been ten years. Your daughter has finally avenged you. The entire family of the Marquis's mansion has finally been wiped out. You can finally rest in peace in the underworld."

After saying this, Dugu Yan kowtowed three times, stood up and left the secret room, just in time to see Yan Yang coming in.

"Master, the Emperor has returned from paying respects at the Marquis' Mansion, but the Empress has not returned."

"Of course. The mother just died, how can a woman come back? Besides, there is no male left in the mansion. If the daughter doesn't keep vigil, does she want the servants to do it? Haha..."

Yan Yang also laughed and said, "My master is right. All the people in the Marquis' Mansion finally died. But it's a good thing for the emperor. Song Chengyi has so much money, and it all went into his hands. The emperor must be laughing in his dreams these days!"

Dugu Yan fiddled with the petals in the vase and said with a smile: "Who said it wasn't true? You don't know that our emperor has been almost exhausted these past few days. With such a large amount of assets, I'm afraid the national treasury will not be able to accommodate it..."

"Master, should we take action against the Queen???"

"Why do we need to take action against the Queen at this critical moment? We just need to tell her the truth and we don't have to do anything..."

Yan Yang nodded and said, "Indeed! If the Queen knew the truth, she would break up with the Emperor. Without the Emperor's protection, there would be many people in the harem who would want to take action without us taking action."

"It doesn't matter if you don't die. Sometimes living in pain is more painful than death. All right! Have someone deliver the letter to the Queen at the Marquis' Mansion! She has been kept in the dark for so long, it's time for her to know the truth..."

Yan Yang asked uncertainly: "Master, how should this letter be written? Just write that the death of everyone in the Marquis' Mansion was planned by the emperor, just to get the military power and money of the Marquis' Mansion..."

"What else?? This should have been done by the Emperor, right?"

Yan Yang took the order and retreated immediately. Dugu Yan picked up a pair of scissors and cut off the blooming flowers in the vase one by one.

"The Marquis' Mansion has been resolved. It's time to settle accounts with those who chased Banxia and me, especially the one who almost took my life..."

Dugu Yan looked at the scissors in his hand, his eyes full of viciousness...
