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

As summer was approaching and the weather was hot, Xie Nanyuan decided that the imperial tomb would be kept for only seven days before burial.

This was naturally inappropriate according to the ancestral system, but the ministers all knew exactly what the relationship between Xie Nanyuan and Xie Rong was.

He wrote a memorial to give a few words of advice, but it was rejected by Xie Nanyuan, so he gave up.

A new emperor appoints new ministers, and when a person dies, all debts are settled. No one wants to offend Xie Nanyuan, who may soon ascend the throne, for the sake of a dead emperor.

On the second day after Xie Rong's burial, Princess Yongle came to bid farewell to Xie Nanyuan and Shen Qionghua.

Princess Yongle looked at Xie Nanyuan sitting on the dragon throne with a complicated expression.

Ever since she knew everything since she was eight years old, she never thought that he would be in this position.

Everyone said that the emperor favored Prince Rui, and Prince Rui himself was also very hardworking and had made great military achievements. Many people tried to curry favor with Prince Rui's palace.

But she never cared about his attitude or what he did.

Because at that time she felt that it was useless, and the one who would ascend to the throne would be only her fifth brother, and these people were just stepping stones for her fifth brother.

She felt this way until the day before the Crown Prince Ceremony.

But unexpectedly, he ended up taking this position.

For a moment, Princess Yongle didn't know whether she felt more emotion or sigh.

Xie Nanyuan had been dealing with the memorials that had been piled up during this period all day, and only stopped when he saw Princess Yongle coming.

"Third brother, Princess Jialin." Princess Yongle called out and then stopped talking.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little quiet.

Although the two are brother and sister, over the years, even if they meet, they are just acquaintances who nod to each other, and they are really unfamiliar with each other.

It was Shen Qionghua who spoke up and broke the awkward atmosphere.

"Princess Yongle, are you ready to leave today?"

Princess Yongle felt a little more at ease facing Shen Qionghua. She nodded slightly, a smile playing on her lips as she said, "Yes, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Even with ice, it's hard to preserve it. I want to bury my mother's body as soon as possible."

That's right, the queen's body was not buried.

The night before the burial, Princess Yongle replaced the queen's body.

The person buried with Xie Rong was just a corpse that had died tragically in an accident, and it was not even known whether it was a boy or a girl.

This was a decision made by Princess Yongle after careful consideration.

Many years ago, the Queen and Princess Yongle had said that if everything was over and they were no longer under Xie Rong's control, the mother and daughter would definitely go to Jiangnan to see where the Queen grew up as a child.

The Queen has been in the palace for many years. Although she is the mother of a country, her mother's family is still a seventh-rank official, and Xie Rong is not allowed to promote her at all, for fear that the Queen will lose control.

Her home was thousands of miles away in Jiangnan, so for all these years the Queen had never seen her parents again and they only communicated through letters.

The Queen's maternal home in Jiangnan was a place she was never able to return to until her death, so Princess Yongle wanted to go and take a look.

Princess Yongle not only wanted to go to Jiangnan herself, but also wanted to bring the queen's body back to Jiangnan and bury it in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, so that she would not be buried in the imperial tomb with Xie Rong.

Princess Yongle only has hatred for her father, Emperor Xie Rong.

The Queen's life was controlled and ruined by Xie Rong, and she dreamed of escaping.

So Princess Yongle thought that even if she couldn't escape in her lifetime, it would be nice to be able to stay away after death. She believed that if her mother knew about it in the underworld, she would agree with her decision.

If I really have to be buried with a disgusting person like Xie Rong after death, I'm afraid I won't have peace in the underworld.

Princess Yongle had a good idea, but it was difficult to implement.

Now the entire palace is under the control of Xie Nanyuan. It is almost impossible to secretly transport the corpse out under Xie Nanyuan's nose.

But when it comes to asking Xie Nanyuan for help, Princess Yongle is a little hesitant.

After all, I knew the inside story but didn't tell him, so I felt guilty and was afraid that Xie Nanyuan would refuse.

So he found a roundabout way and went to find Shen Qionghua and apologized to her solemnly.

This time he was sincere, not just following the Queen's words as last time.

Then he told Shen Qionghua his request.

Shen Qionghua no longer cared about things that happened so long ago.

After hearing Princess Yongle's request, Shen Qionghua was not surprised, but felt some sympathy.

There are few children in this world who do not want their parents to be buried together even though both of them are dead. This shows how deeply Princess Yongle was hurt by Xie Rong.

So he agreed and mentioned it to Xie Nanyuan, who agreed readily.

In Xie Nanyuan's words, not to mention Princess Yongle, even he, if the late queen had not been dead for many years and was afraid of disturbing the late queen, would definitely have replaced the late queen's body.

It is so disgusting to be buried with the person who killed you.

However, the remains of the late queen cannot be moved, but the remains of the others can still be moved.

However, this matter should not be made public. Only Xie Nanyuan, Shen Qionghua and Linze know about it.

Shen Qionghua listened to Princess Yongle's words, nodded, and responded.

Seeing that Princess Yongle still looked hesitant, he asked, "Princess, do you have any other concerns?"

Princess Yongle hesitated and said, "When I leave, the people in the northern border will..."

Seeing Xie Nanyuan looking at her, meeting her gaze and then turning his head away, Shen Qionghua knew that this man's old weird habit had come back again.

I could only speak for him and say, "Don't worry, we have no plans to send you to marry. The court will handle the affairs of the Northern Frontier on its own."

After hearing Shen Qionghua say this, Princess Yongle finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She glanced at Xie Nanyuan and saw that he was only looking at the memorial in his hand. After hesitating for a moment, she could only say dryly, "Then I'll leave first."

Just as Princess Yongle turned around, a voice came from behind her, "Wait."

Xie Nanyuan stood up and ordered, "Linze, arrange for a few people to escort Princess Yongle to Jiangnan."

"Yes." Linze responded.

Princess Yongle turned around in surprise and said, "Yongle thanks Third Brother."

Xie Nanyuan said with a sullen face, "No need to thank me. You're a princess, and this is what you should do. What use are those eunuchs and palace maids of yours?"

"Remember to come back soon. Your mother is still worried about your marriage. Don't let her down."

"Yes." Princess Yongle agreed, and then walked away with brisk steps.

Shen Qionghua looked at him helplessly and said, "Look at you. You were worried that it would be unsafe for a young woman like her to go to Jiangnan with a few palace maids and eunuchs. Couldn't you just talk it out nicely?"

"What's with that scowl?"

Xie Nanyuan snorted coldly upon hearing this, "Is it me who has a scowl on my face?"

"Didn't you see she looked at me like I was a ghost, as if I was going to eat her?"

Shen Qionghua sighed helplessly, but didn't say anything else.

There were some things that Xie Nanyuan and the Fifth Prince could say, but he could never say them to Princess Yongle.

The mentality towards a younger brother is completely different from that towards a younger sister. I don’t know why this person is being so awkward.

Shen Qionghua just waved her sleeves and ignored him. She had a lot of things to do.

He was busy settling the concubines in the late emperor's harem.

Poor thing, she was drafted into the army before she even married him. She was born to be a hard-working person!
