Shen Yi's Darkness and Depression

Chapter 428 Qinghe County

The already deserted Duanmu Mansion was even more deserted because of the funeral. There were no cars or horses outside the gate, only the people of the mansion stayed in the courtyard. The mourning hall had been built for three days, and very few people came to mourn.

"Excuse me, is Princess Duanyi here?" A group of palace servants dressed in fine clothes suddenly appeared at the door.

"No...no...not here." Xiao Yi was about to go out to greet the eminent monk who came to save him, but by chance, he met the palace servant first.

"What about the third prince?" The leading palace man didn't know that the man in front of him was stuttering, and only thought that he was nervous because of fear.

"Also...not...not here." Xiao Yi was very puzzled, "You...you..."

"Is there anyone in charge in the house?" The palace man was very impatient.

"Eunuch Cao, why are you here?" Xue Qing heard that someone was coming, and thought it was a friend who came to mourn Master Han.

"Miss Xueqing, are you there? I've been asking this person for a long time, but he can't answer a single word. I'm so anxious." Xiao Caozi immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled when he saw a familiar face.

"I'm sorry, I hope my father-in-law doesn't mind." Xueqing didn't expect that Xiao Caozi's cowardly appearance was gone, and she didn't dare to call her Xiao Caozi when her master was not around, after all, everyone was there. Growing up, today's little Caozi is no longer the little father-in-law who blushed when he talked to a woman.

"When will your master come back?" Xiao Caozi felt that he was finally able to come once, and he deserved to meet the princess and prince.

"It's enough for a while, Eunuch Cao, is there something urgent?" Xue Qing showed embarrassment, she didn't dare to tell little Cao that their master has lived in the Shuoyi Palace for the past two days, for fear of causing trouble to the master if it was heard by the emperor. .

"Then I won't wait for your master to come back, miss, go and find Han Ruoli for me." Xiao Caozi had a good impression of Yun Wan, so naturally he was very respectful to her personal maid.

"Oh~" Xueqing didn't know why she called Ruoli over, but she couldn't ask any more questions, so she could only follow the orders.

The first level of official rank crushes people to death, not to mention that this little Cao Zi is Eunuch Su's subordinate, and he is often by the emperor's side. Although he is still young, Xueqing can only respect him.

The girl Ruoli stayed up for two days and two nights about Master Han, and finally couldn't stand it any longer. She was persuaded by Xueqing for a long time before she fell asleep. Her fragile body quickly lost weight because of not eating or drinking, being sad and staying up late. , which made Xueqing feel distressed when she saw it.

But Xiao Caozi wanted Ruoli to come over, Xueqing had no choice but to wake him up and help him to receive the order.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor ordered that because of his loyalty to protect the lord, he became a hero, and Han Sheng was named county magistrate. Because he had no children, Qinghe County in Qingzhou was assigned to his daughter Han Ruoli to inherit for the first time. This is my honor." It was the first time for Xiao Caozi to read the imperial edict. He imitated Eunuch Su's demeanor and tone, "The emperor's kindness is mighty, and I accept the edict."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." If it wasn't for Xue Qing's reminder, Ruo Li wouldn't know how to respond. At this moment, she was kneeling on the ground as if dreaming, completely unable to understand what happened.

"Xie Wuhuang, long live, long live, long live~" All the people in the Duanmu Mansion were summoned, although everyone didn't know why this honor was?But both of them knelt down to thank Longen tacitly, and their actions, words and deeds were very neat.

If you want to unravel the reason why this edict came, you have to go back to yesterday.

Shen Yishuo knelt silently in the Xuande Hall in a crow blue gown, he didn't dare to easily disturb his father who was admiring the picture scroll

"Shuo'er is here." It may be a while before Shen Yixiang realizes that there are people in the hall, and because he missed Concubine Yi, he took out all Gu Kaizhi's paintings to admire alone.

"Father is well?" Shen Yishuo asked with concern.

"It's okay to remember the old people." Shen Yixiang shook his head helplessly, no matter how much he remembered the dead, it was not enough to soothe his soul.

"Father is still in good health? Didn't you get frightened by the sacrifice?" Shen Yishuo heard Su Gonggong say that the emperor always had nightmares.

"I'm getting old, it's normal to have a little trouble, but how about Shuo'er's injury?" Shen Yixiang has never found out who the assassin was.

"Father, please don't worry, my son... it's just a minor injury, nothing serious." Shen Yishuo said with a smile. .

"Thanks to Shuo'er's meritorious service in saving him. I felt very distressed when I saw that day. The arrow pierced too deep, and you even gouged out a big piece of flesh." Shen Yixiang was afraid when he thought about it. His body was hit by the arrow, and even if he didn't fear his life, he would have to stay in bed for several days.

"It's just flesh and blood, just take care of it, the emperor doesn't need to worry about his son, it's just..." Shen Yishuo hesitated.

"What's the trouble for Shuo'er? You have done a great job in saving him, but I can satisfy you for any reasonable request." Shen Yixiang had already guessed that the third prince had something to ask for.

"The night before yesterday, Erchen was attacked by a group of mysterious people. Fortunately, Erchen's friend blocked Erchen's fatal arrow." Shen Yishuo shook his head regretfully.

"Your friend was killed?" Shen Yixiang guessed from his dark clothes.

"Exactly, Erchen feels deeply guilty and just wants to do something about it, alas." Shen Yishuo sighed heavily.

"Then what can I do for you? Or what do you want me to do for you?" Shen Yixiang narrowed his eyes and looked at it.

"My son wants to give a city to this friend's child. He should be ignorant of the world at such a young age." This is the best way Shen Yishuo can think of to make up for it.

"Shuo'er wants to give it as a gift, but do I still need my consent?" Shen Yixiang questioned.

"Is it possible for my son to let my father pursue this person?" Shen Yishuo asked cautiously.

"Even if you give up the city, I can't confer the Marquis Jinjue, how can I recover the title if I don't make military achievements? Besides..." Before Shen Yixiang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the person in front of him.

"It's enough to chase after a county magistrate." Shen Yishuo didn't want to embarrass his father, after all, it was just a name, and he didn't need to make progress with the emperor.

"Don't you feel bad for Shuo'er? The county magistrate can't continue." Shen Yixiang was thoughtful.

"There is no need to inherit. This friend only has an only daughter. I just want this person to enter the royal family, and the most marginal position is fine." Shen Yishuo understands that only a generous burial of Master Han can make Yun Wan feel at ease.

"Oh, then which city do you want to come up with?" Shen Yixiang asked bluntly without guessing what medicine was bought in the gourd.

"Anything is fine, Father chooses whatever you want." Shen Yishuo is very generous. His fief is in the southwest, which was once the most barren soil, but it is very rich under his governance, even if it is too much for him to give up a city. No effect either.

"Forget it, keep Shuo'er's fiefdom for yourself. You have done a great job in saving her, and I will grant your wish. It just so happens that Qinghe County has no one to govern recently, so I will give this small town to that girl and decree to chase you down." Your friend is the county magistrate, and you can take care of the rest of the funeral affairs yourself." Shen Yixiang just wanted to test the attitude of the third prince, because giving up a city is not a big deal for the prince who is named king.

Sending Yi a city, it is hard to find a title, how can I pursue it?
