Seeing her eyes full of expectation, Li Shu really wanted to tell her that she could, but in the end she shook her head and said, "It depends on what method Li Yunzhi used to prevent my mother's body from decaying. If it's moved away from where it has been for many years, it will decay quickly..."

Aunt Gui understood what she meant, and her excitement faded a little, but her eyes were still full of anticipation.

When his wife passed away, General Li fell into madness, and he was unable to see his wife for the last time before she was buried.

Even if Lin Yuan and the others brought back a decayed body, she still wanted to give her lady a proper farewell.

To this end, after handing Li Shu a booklet containing the names and general information of all the servants in the new house, she went to the kitchen and cooked a lot of food that Lin Zhi liked during her lifetime.

After midnight, when Lin Yuan led people to carry Lin Zhi's body back, the whole Tongxin Garden was filled with the aroma of food.

Lin'an had been eating dry food all day, and the delicious smell made his mouth water. "Boss! Did the young lady ask someone to make us a midnight snack?"

Lin Yuan stared at him, and saw Li Shu leading Aunt Gui and others out of the room.

He hurried forward and said, "Within two days, the master's body will remain in its original state."

Li Shu was delighted.

Aunt Gui couldn't help but be delighted.

At this time, the courtyard was brightly lit.

After getting closer, Li Shu noticed a little blood on the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth, and her heart tightened. "Are you injured?"

Is there someone around Li Yunzhi who can hurt him?

"No, I just took a slap for protecting the master's coffin."

"is it serious?"

"Not... serious."

Seeing the worry in Li Shu's eyes, Lin Yuan added a word for some unknown reason.

This caused Lin Hu, Lin An and others beside him to widen their eyes at the same time.

What do you mean it’s not serious!

That's not serious at all!

Just a little bit of blood!

A few years ago, in order to verify his own skills, the boss disguised himself on a whim and angered a group of top masters in the world. He was beaten until he vomited blood, but he remained calm and said that he was fine!

Now he is pretending in front of the lady!

Li Shu didn't notice their reaction at all. Seeing that Lin Yuan's expression was indeed the same as when he left, she hurriedly said, "I'll ask Nanny Gui to heal you well later," and went to the coffin they carried back.

The coffin was made of sandalwood.

You can smell the light sandalwood scent as soon as you get close.

But apart from sandalwood, there are also many uncommon and exotic scents lingering.

Before she could ask, Lin Yuan said, "Li Yunzhi used many methods to ensure that the master's body would not decay. The underground ice cellar where the master's coffin was placed was filled with all kinds of poisonous insects and spices. I carefully examined those poisonous insects and spices before I confirmed that the master's body could remain intact for two days after leaving the ice cellar. It was also because I delayed too long during the inspection that I ran into the group of assassins who were trying to steal the master's coffin..."

At the end of his words, Lin Yuan's tone was tainted with cold murderous intent.

Li Shu rarely heard the term "death warrior" in the past, but recently she had heard it quite often, so she immediately asked, "So the person who hurt you wasn't one of Li Yunzhi's men, but one of the Emperor's?"

"Well, compared to the assassins before, these are more skilled and their weapons are more difficult to deal with. If the people accompanying me tonight were not all trained by me personally, with excellent skills and tacit understanding, I'm afraid several people would have been killed."

"It seems that the Emperor is anxious and asked Concubine Qi to use her system..."

Li Shu said this in a very low voice.

After he finished speaking, he stared at the coffin in front of him for a few seconds and said, "Open it."

Linhu and Lin'an stepped forward and opened the coffin lid together.

The moment the coffin lid was opened, Li Shu closed her eyes and prepared herself mentally for a moment before taking two steps forward to look inside the coffin.

When she first saw the face in the coffin that looked 80% similar to hers, she was stunned for a moment.

Because it was a face with a faint smile, so peaceful and serene as if it was just asleep.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like someone who has been dead for more than ten years.

"Madam was like this when she passed away?"

Nanny Gui stared at Lin Zhi in the coffin, her tone full of confusion.

On the day the lady passed away, when they saw General Li's almost crazy look, they all thought that the lady's death must have been horrific.

I didn't expect it to be so peaceful?

Li Shu came back to her senses after hearing her words, raised her lips and whispered, "I guessed right, my mother wasn't wiped out, but she chose to die. She would rather die than continue to stay in this world with Li Yunzhi. Li Yunzhi loves her so much, he must have guessed what she was thinking, which is why he was so upset and insisted on having her come back..."

Why didn't she inherit her mother's decisiveness?

If she had been as decisive and resolute as her mother, she wouldn't have had such a miserable future as in her dream!

After secretly sighing, she said, "Jingzhe, go to the Grand Princess's residence tomorrow morning and ask Grandmother if she wants to come and see Mother."

"Yes."

"Carry mother's coffin into the hall. We'll make some simple arrangements tomorrow. Once her body begins to decompose, we'll send her to Peacock Ridge for burial."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan looked at Li Shu with a hint of surprise, "Miss, are you going to bury the master in Peacock Ridge?"

Li Shu nodded. "Sanniang told me that Peacock Ridge was a place my mother discovered by accident. Although there are many poisonous snakes and fierce beasts, and miasma is common, the scenery is truly unique. She suggested that my mother be buried on the cliff where she once loved the most."

"Then I will send a message back to Peacock Ridge and have people make the necessary preparations. However, Peacock Ridge is quite far from the capital. If Miss wants to go there..."

"I won't go. Sanniang can go in my place."

Her mother had already started a new life, and she just wanted to make sure that the body left by her mother in this world was buried in peace.

After that, Li Shu was ready to go to bed, but Aunt Gui was still leading people to enthusiastically set up the mourning hall.

Li Shu lay on the bed holding Zhizhi, listening to the noise coming from the hall. She asked Qinghong sleepily, "Did Aunt Gui really arrange Linyuan's room next door?"

"Yes! Cuiwei and I both think it's better to have one or two rooms between them. After all, this courtyard is very large and has five main rooms. But Nanny Gui insisted that Linyuan should be as close to the young lady as possible, so that the young lady can be guaranteed to be safe."

"Humph, she probably wants Lin Yuan to live directly in my room."

Li Shu pretended to be angry and said this, then turned on her side and fell asleep.

Qinghong waited quietly for a moment, tucked the corners of the quilt for her, and then quietly left to remind Aunt Gui and the others to speak more quietly.

After that, Li Shu began to have dreams. In the dream, she saw Lin Zhi and her family of three playing and chasing each other on the beach in clothes that were so revealing that shocked her. At that time, Li Yunzhi and his sons in the Zhenbei General's Mansion had just discovered that Lin Zhi's body had been stolen.

Because when Lin Yuan sneaked into their general's mansion, he ordered people to place the aphrodisiac incense he made everywhere.

While the Zhenbei General's Mansion was in chaos due to the loss of Lin Zhi's body, Lin Qi was kneeling before Yin Su in the Jinxiu Palace, swearing to the heavens, "Your Majesty, I have truly not concealed a single thing! It must be that after Li Shu's luck was fully restored, it became increasingly stronger, which is why we keep failing!"
