The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Seeing Shen Qionghua about to fall to the ground, Luo Xiyao quickly hugged her, "Qionghua!"

Shen Qionghua burst into tears and choked up, "I want to find him! I want to find him! Let me go, I want to find him!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiyao not only did not dare to let go of Shen Qionghua, but hugged her even tighter.

Shen Qionghua struggled violently.

At this time, Lin Wanru and Shen Yi also chased out from the inner room. Seeing Shen Qionghua's appearance, Lin Wanru choked up and said, "Hua Jie'er, you have to cheer up!"

However, Shen Qionghua couldn't listen at all. She just kept muttering, "I want to go find him, I want to see him, let me go!"

And as the words became more excited, the struggle became more and more intense.

Finally, seeing her daughter like this, Lin Wanru, the mother, could no longer hold back. She suddenly grasped Shen Qionghua's arm and shouted, "Sister Hua!"

Shen Qionghua finally reacted, her struggling movements suddenly stopped, she turned her head and looked at Lin Wanru.

Lin Wanru's breathing stopped.

What kind of eyes are these?

The eyes, which were originally black and white, were now stained with red bloodshot. There was no light in the black pupils, only emptiness, loneliness, and pain.

Lin Wanru felt a pang of pain in her heart and burst into tears, "Hua Jie'er, even if you go to Prince Rui's Mansion now, you won't be able to see Prince Rui!"

Shen Qionghua suddenly woke up and said in disbelief: "Mother, what do you mean by this!"

Seeing the mother and daughter crying together, Luo Xiyao felt very uncomfortable. She said to Lin Wanru, "Aunt, why don't you take Ayi back and rest for a while? I'll take care of Qionghua here and try to persuade her."

Lin Wanru hesitated for a moment, then nodded and left with Shen Yi.

Before stepping out of the door, he looked back several times out of concern.

The door was closed, and only Shen Qionghua and Luo Xiyao were left in the room.

Shen Qionghua immediately grabbed Luo Xiyao's hand and held it tightly, so tightly that Luo Xiyao couldn't help but cry out softly.

"Xiyao, what did my mother mean just now? What does it mean that I can't see Xie Nanyuan anymore? Why can't I see him anymore?"

Seeing that Shen Qionghua's emotions were about to get out of control again, Luo Xiyao hurriedly said, "Don't worry, listen to my explanation."

Luo Xiyao took Shen Qionghua by the hand and walked back to the bedside, helped her sit down, and then explained: "Not only you, but even I can't see my cousin anymore."

"Qionghua, do you know how long you have been unconscious?"

Shen Qionghua's red eyes were full of confusion.

Seeing this, Luo Xiyao knew that she didn't know, and said, "You have been unconscious for two days, and tomorrow is the day your cousin will be buried."

"News has long been circulating within the palace that the Emperor will personally leave the palace to give my cousin a final farewell at his burial tomorrow, as a final... honor for him."

At this point, Luo Xiyao choked up a bit, but she forced herself to hold it back. "So anyone who wants to pay tribute to my cousin must do so within these two days. He will be buried early tomorrow morning. No one is allowed to visit tonight to avoid disturbing my cousin's peace."

"As soon as it got dark, the Royal Guards surrounded Prince Rui's Palace and forbade anyone to approach, not even me."

Shen Qionghua's eyes were red, and her expression was hesitant. She was a bit dazed and said, "But Xie Nanyuan and I... I'm his fiancée, and he won't even allow me to pay my respects?"

Luo Xiyao's face changed drastically when she heard this. She covered Shen Qionghua's mouth and said, "Qionghua, don't mention this matter again."

Seeing Shen Qionghua's sudden realization, Luo Xiyao said, "After you fainted that day, Manager Li took care of my cousin and pulled me aside to talk about it."

"It is said that the Emperor has already hinted that, considering the Shen family's past contributions, he will announce the cancellation of your marriage with your cousin in a few days, restore your freedom, and allow you to marry freely."

"So, don't mention your engagement with your cousin anymore. Your cousin is dead, but the one who survived is still alive. You should also consider your future."

Luo Xiyao actually felt unhappy when she said these words.

Shen Qionghua is not only her good friend, but also almost became her cousin-in-law.

Now that her cousin's body is still warm, she wants to persuade Qionghua to break up with her cousin. No normal person can say this.

But she has to say it even if she can't, because it's something only she can say, and it's not appropriate for anyone else to say it.

She is not only her cousin's sister, but also Qionghua's good friend. She also has to consider her from Qionghua's perspective.

Now that her cousin is dead, she can't just tie Qionghua to his side, guard his body, and let her wait for a future without light and hope.

That would be too cruel.

Originally, she couldn't say this. That day was a mess and she had no time to think about this.

It was Li Shunquan's words that reminded her.

My cousin and Qionghua were married by imperial decree.

If this happened in an ordinary family, the two families would make a marriage contract, and if the man suddenly passed away, the woman could cancel the engagement and marry someone else after three years of chastity. No one could find fault with it and no one could stop it.

But Qionghua is different. Her marriage to her cousin was granted by imperial decree. Without the emperor's consent, Qionghua will never be able to marry anyone else in her life and will have to stay with her cousin.

What's worse, there are also cases where people are ordered to be buried with the deceased. This has precedents in the past.

There was no chance before, but the emperor gave Qionghua a chance. Now that the opportunity is right in front of her, there is no reason to let it go easily.

She truly regarded Qionghua as a friend. Now that her cousin was gone, she couldn't let Qionghua spend her whole life guarding her cousin's spirit tablet.

Her cousin loved Qionghua so much. She believed that if her cousin knew about this in the afterlife, he would not have the heart to treat Qionghua like this and would definitely agree with her approach.

Although the emperor has hinted at this, the decree has not yet been issued. Who can guarantee that the emperor will not suddenly change his mind?

It would be better for Qionghua to avoid appearing in front of the emperor at this moment. It would be best if the emperor could focus his mind on his cousin's funeral and not think about Qionghua.

Only when the imperial decree to cancel the engagement is issued can we truly breathe a sigh of relief.

Before that, we must not act rashly.

Luo Xiyao's words were from the heart, and she was completely considering Shen Qionghua's perspective.

Shen Qionghua naturally understood the implication of Luo Xiyao's words, and the look she gave Luo Xiyao was both complicated and touching.
