Liu Hua looked at the number of people in the hall and said apologetically to Jiang Zengyun in his heart, "I'm afraid it's impossible to hold them all."

An Lingrong whispered to Xiao Yunzi beside her, "Go and close the door."

Xiao Yunzi said "yeah" and moved as ordered.

The main hall gradually became dim, accompanied by the crackling sound of burning funeral candles.

Liu Hua warned sternly, "I know it's not easy for you to enter the palace, especially for a ceremonial official like Lord Jiang.

Today, let's all be less noisy. I'll swallow my anger for once and find a reason.

Bury Concubine Dunsu quickly."

Wang Zengyun was very observant. He grabbed Liu Hua's pole and climbed down.

"Yes, my lady, it's just the beginning of spring. The people in the Imperial Observatory have long said that they are worried that it will harm the fortune for the next year, so they want us to finish the ritual and bury the body early."

Liu Hua looked at the prayer flags around him. Wang Zengyun stood up, bowed, and respectfully reported, "Your Majesty, the ritual is almost complete. I will go and consult with the people from the Imperial Observatory. Please wait."

Liu Hua frowned, put his handkerchief in front of his mouth, and said helplessly, "I understand. Lord Jiang, please go and do it quickly."

Liu Hua prepared to walk back to the side hall to accompany Nian Shilan on her last journey in the palace.

At this time, An Lingrong took Liu Hua's hand and whispered softly, "Sister, it smells bad here. You just gave birth, so it's not suitable for you to stay away from here for a long time.

Let’s go sit in the pavilion at the foot of the mountain.”

An Lingrong gently pressed Liu Hua's hands, An Lingrong turned her head away, and Liu Hua also turned his head away.

Liu Hua's eyes fell on Song Zhi, who seemed to be hesitant to speak.

He nodded immediately and led the group from Yonghe Palace towards the pavilion at the foot of the mountain.

In the pavilion on the lake, screens and curtains had already been prepared, and there was a stove burning.

After Liu Hua was helped to sit down by An Lingrong, he put on his cloak tightly.

Arrange to hold Liu Hua's arm and let him lean gently on her.

Songzhi finally couldn't bear it anymore and looked at Liu Hua.

He knelt on the ground without hesitation and burst into tears, but this time his crying was different from Nian Shishao's.

"Empress Qian, please help my queen. My queen was harmed by that bitch Zhen Huan yesterday.

She said that the Huanyi incense used by my queen contained musk deer, and my queen debated with him several times.

And then I discovered...I discovered that it really existed.

The queen went into the inner room crying, and only Miss Shishao followed her in.

Soon my queen died of a heart attack. It must have been that bitch Zhen Huan who did it."

Seeing that Songzhi was crying so hard, Liu Hua quickly poured her a cup of hot water.

In extreme grief, Songzhi didn't care how hot the water was, nor did she care about etiquette or hierarchy.

Without even saying thank you, he swallowed it whole.

"Ahem... ahem, last night I wanted to rush out to find the Emperor, but I wasn't afraid of the guards' gleaming swords.

If Miss Shi Shao hadn't said that this would bring trouble to the Nian family, I would have gone to the Emperor to appeal for justice.

Dongli helped the kneeling Songzhi up and helped her breathe.

Liu Hua soothed her gently, "Your mother is in heaven, I believe she will be happy.

You are only 23 years old now, and you still have two years before you can leave the palace. I am here to find you a good and leisurely place to live. After you have spent these two years, I will arrange for you to leave the palace."

Songzhi stared at Liu Hua with tears in her eyes, and knelt down again.

She held onto the hem of Liu Hua's trousers tightly and cried, "I don't ask for a good place to go. I only ask that my wife can have a clear life in this world."

Liu Hua held Songzhi's hands, which were covered with paper ash and incense ash, and wiped them carefully with a handkerchief.

He said meaningfully, "Your Nian family has made great military achievements and is quite famous. General Nian is also extremely fond of Concubine Dunsu, so there will definitely be nothing wrong."

Songzhi has been with Concubine Hua for so many years, so she is naturally not stupid and immediately realized something.

She quickly loosened Liu Hua's trouser legs and kowtowed several times: "Your servant, thank you, Her Majesty the Concubine Qian, for your great kindness. Thank you, Her Majesty the Concubine Qian, for your great kindness."

Liu Hua asked Xiao Yunzi to take Songzhi downstairs to have a good rest. Looking down at the frozen lake, he turned his head and saw An Lingrong.

The fragrance on her face made Liu Hua swallow his saliva inadvertently.

An Lingrong looked at Liu Hua's changed cloak with satisfaction.

She felt a little proud in her heart because the cloak was not the white peacock cloak given by Yinzhen, but the lily-patterned cloak embroidered by An Lingrong herself.

Liu Hua looked at the scene before him, "the snow-covered mountains, the bright candlelight in the southern sky," and was filled with emotion. What was so good about the scenery in this palace? But few people could truly appreciate it.

An Lingrong pretended to yawn and slowly slid her head into Liu Hua's arms.

Liu Hua thought to himself, "Fortunately, I have someone here."

————————————————————

It is April again. Above the vast plateau, the clouds in the sky are changing rapidly like galloping horses.

The violent wind carried the fragrance of rape flowers into Nian Shilan's nostrils.

By the endless blue lake, Doctor Liu was teaching Nian Shilan how to identify medicine.

Horses neighed nearby, and Nian Shilan looked at the medicine in front of her.

I couldn't help but think of the little girl I rescued a few days ago, and all the fatigue in my heart disappeared.

Nian Shilan once lamented for herself and hated Yinzhen, but all these love and hatred disappeared under the beautiful mountains and lakes of Qinghai.

Nian Shilan knew that she had killed many people and committed many sins, all for a man.

She originally wanted to die, both to escape and to atone for her sins.

But Nian Shishao said, "Sister, killing someone is just a tit-for-tat. But it is not for atonement!

Sister, if you die, can those people live?

If you live, you can save more people, isn't it better than dying? "

"Besides, if my sister dies? What's the point of my brother having lived here all these years?

Sister, there is always someone in this world who loves you more than Yinzhen."

Nian Shilan was still thinking, but the warhorse behind her lowered its head to eat the herbs in her hand.

Doctor Liu tried to stop him, but was pushed into the water by Nian Gengyao's warhorse.

Nian Shilan covered her mouth happily and pointed at Doctor Liu and laughed.

Doctor Liu could only smile awkwardly. After getting ashore, he kicked the warhorse hard.

The warhorse seemed to be extremely unwilling to admit defeat and bit the dried herbs that Doctor Liu had prepared.

He ran quickly to the back, and a strong voice rang out: "Purple Qilin, you are not listening again!"

Nian Shilan turned around and smiled, "Brother, when have you ever seen Zi Qilin obey you?"

The end of the world is mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, not love, hate and vengeance.

Nian Shilan went there in a hurry, this battle was a long and arduous one.

She is only in her twenties and has a long journey in life. She should not be bound by palace walls.
