The Doctor's Concubine: Don't mess with the evil princess
Chapter 87 King Yan Appears
Two days later, the team escorting Prince Yan's coffin entered Liuyue City. The weather was unusually cold, the streets were desolate, paper money was flying in the sky, and wherever the team passed, the people on both sides of the street lowered their heads silently, mourning the death of this prince at a young age.
The huge team marched towards the direction of Prince Yan's Palace, and the entire Liuyue City became deathly silent.
The emperor was heartbroken to see his son die young, so he handed over all arrangements for Prince Yan's funeral to the crown prince.
The return of Prince Yan's coffin meant that the day for Mu Lanfeng to be buried alive with him was approaching. Except for Jiang's mother and daughter, everyone else in the Mu Mansion was in a depressing mood, especially in Ziyunxuan, where everyone was as if a disaster was about to happen.
After knowing the truth, Mu Lanfeng was depressed for half a day, but then he started to get busy again, not taking the matter of burial alive to heart at all.
She was reading a book when she saw Hong Yin hurriedly walk up to her and whispered, "Miss, something happened at the Chen Mansion!
Mu Lanfeng was stunned, subconsciously stood up, and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"
"The Chen Mansion was wiped out. The entire mansion was a sea of fire and no one was spared. It was said that this was because all the escape doors were locked!" Hong Yin reported in a low voice.
Mu Lanfeng's face changed, thinking that something was not good. Li Zeqi was seriously injured and she didn't know whether he had woken up or not. Although she had sent people to protect him secretly, she was still a little worried.
"I'm going out for a while, you take good care of Ziyunxuan!" Mu Lanfeng reminded.
Having said that, he put down the book in his hand and walked quickly into the house.
……
The Chen Mansion was located in Shanyue Lane on Northwest Street. At that time, the Chen Mansion and the entire Shanyue Lane were engulfed in flames. The cries and shouts were deafening. Firefighters came one after another, but the fire was too big and could not be put out at all.
Mu Lanfeng mixed in the crowd, watching the raging fire burning wantonly. Her eyes gradually blurred in the firelight, and the sea of fire in her dream reappeared in her mind, and the scene slowly became clear...
"follow me!"
In the crowd, a strong hand pulled Mu Lanfeng away.
"I knew you would come here. Don't worry, your King Yan will be fine!" the visitor whispered.
Mu Lanfeng broke free from the man's hand and said expressionlessly, "I know!"
Xian Chengfeng was dressed in white, holding a folding fan in one hand, with a cold face, and asked, "You still came even though you knew about this?"
"Xian Chengfeng, was I wrong? If I hadn't interfered in King Yan's affairs, perhaps these people would not have died for no reason!" Mu Lanfeng blamed himself.
"Little girl, you are not a person who is sad about autumn and spring. This matter has nothing to do with you. It will be the same whether you are there or not!" Xian Chengfeng said lightly.
Mu Lanfeng was awakened by Xian Chengfeng and immediately asked, "I know, where is the King of Yan now?"
"He went back, and brought a girl with him!" Xian Chengfeng teased.
Mu Lanfeng glanced at Xian Chengfeng and asked in confusion: "What girl?"
"Let's go to Prince Yan's Mansion and we'll find out!" Xian Chengfeng said.
Without giving Mu Lanfeng a chance to explain, Xian Chengfeng turned around and jumped onto a carriage. Seeing that Mu Lanfeng didn't catch up, he lifted the curtain again and shouted, "What are you still standing there for?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Lanfeng quickly stepped forward and got into the carriage.
The carriage sped along the street and soon arrived at the street where Prince Yan's Mansion was located. Xian Chengfeng asked the coachman to find a secluded place to stop.
"Wait for us here!" Xian Chengfeng ordered.
The driver replied "Yes".
……
The onlookers outside the Prince of Yan's Mansion had been dismissed, and the servants had all changed into coarse cloth and plain clothes. There were sounds of mourning music coming from inside the mansion, and princes and ministers kept coming to pay their respects.
Although Prince Yan did not have much contact with them, he died for Long Yuan after all. Even for the emperor's sake, they should come to pay their respects!
The Prince of Yan did not have a concubine, nor did he have a sidekick. Usually, the affairs of the Prince of Yan's mansion were handled by the housekeeper. This time, the Emperor sent the Crown Prince to take care of it personally.
Inside the palace, the prince welcomed the princes and ministers who came to pay their respects. He looked sad and bowed politely.
There was a person standing next to the prince. It was his best friend Jiang Yizi, who was also Mu Baiying's cousin. Jiang Yizi was always inseparable from the prince.
The sound of funeral music sounded again, and this time it was King Cheng Li Shanglu who came in. He walked up to the prince, paid his respects, bowed to the coffin, raised his head and glanced at Jiang Yizi who was beside the prince.
Just a glance, and then immediately looked away.
When King Cheng looked at him, Jiang Yizi nodded twice silently, then looked at the prince as if nothing had happened.
After King Cheng finished his worship, he exchanged a few words with the Crown Prince, then turned around and left the Prince of Yan's Palace.
Not long after, Jiang Yizhi also came out. He looked around cautiously and quickly turned into the alley on the left...
"Li Zeqi is dead!" King Cheng Li Shanglu roared angrily.
"How is that possible? I saw Prince Yan being put into the coffin with my own eyes!" Jiang Yizi explained.
Li Shanglu frowned and whispered, "You mean to say that I lied to you?"
"I dare not!" Jiang Yizi said with his head down.
"If it weren't for the spy who reported that Li Zeqi was recuperating in the Chen Mansion, I would have been kept in the dark!" Li Shanglu growled.
Jiang Yizi's face was full of confusion, he himself didn't know what went wrong.
"Okay, I have already taken action. There are too many people here, so you go back and guard the prince!" Li Shanglu said with a proud look on his face.
"Yes!" Jiang Yizi said and disappeared into the alley.
Jiang Yizi returned to the prince without anyone noticing.
Mourners came in waves until the evening when there were fewer people. The prince had been standing all day and was so tired that he could not even straighten his back.
……
"What do you want me to see?" Mu Lanfeng asked with some confusion.
"Shh!" Xian Chengfeng made a gesture to let Mu Lanfeng be quiet, and whispered: "Don't be impatient, just wait and see!"
The sky gradually darkened and lights were lit in various places in Prince Yan's Mansion.
Suddenly, the people at the gate retreated into the mansion with a very frightened expression, and almost all the servants showed the same expression.
"Ghost~" Finally someone couldn't help but shout out.
There was a commotion...
Upon hearing this, the prince immediately came out with Jiang Yizi. As soon as they reached the door, they were both stunned.
Li Zeqi appeared in front of everyone in a dark robe, with a pale face and an expressionless face.
“Fourth brother, you…you…” The prince was so frightened that he couldn’t speak clearly.
"Your Highness, do you think that my brother is dead?" Li Zeqi still had no expression on his face and his tone was cold.
After confirming that Li Zeqi was not a ghost, the prince boldly said, "It's good that he's not dead. I'll report to my father right away!"
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Li Zeqi bowed and gave a perfunctory salute.
"It's good that you're alright! Someone prepare the sedan chair and return to the palace!"
