Wind rises time and space gate

On the fifth day after arriving at the imperial mausoleum, Lin Zhaoxia and Zhao Guangyuan had to go back even if they didn't want to go back to Beijing.

Zhao Guangyuan asked the Ministry of Etiquette to complete the five rites within one month. Since he was not in the capital, the wedding could not be arranged. Under the urging of Cao Cuo and others, the two packed their things and prepared to return to the capital.

Lin Qiushan, Geng and others were naturally reluctant to leave, but they also knew that they could not stay, so they packed up a bunch of food and sent them off with tears in their eyes.

Lin Zhaoxia lifted the car curtain and felt quite sad when she saw them getting further and further away until they were blurred.

In this era where communication cannot be done by shouting, once we say goodbye, we never know when we will see each other again. Ordinarily, married women from far away families would have the opportunity to meet each other. However, the identity of the Lin family as the mausoleum household was not up to anyone and could not be separated from the scope of the imperial mausoleum.

Geng couldn't stop crying when she saw the carriage going further and further away. Lin Qiushan comforted her, "Stop crying, be careful and let people see."

Geng choked up: "When she gets married, we can't prepare a dowry for her, and we don't have any family to send her, so she gets married alone." She was sorry for her daughter more than 20 years ago, but now she can't even get married. No one at home could do anything for her.

Lin Qiushan was also sad, but he held it back, "We just hope that she will live well. Didn't the prince say that she will marry from Mr. Jiang's house? It is much better than marrying from our family."

"Yes, mother, there will always be a chance to meet you in the future."

In the carriage, Zhao Guangyuan also comforted Lin Zhaoxia: "Don't be sad, we will have the opportunity to meet each other in the future."

"Yes." Lin Zhaoxia responded lightly, leaning into his arms. After a while, he calmed down and asked him again: "What if there is no chance even if the palace is abandoned?"

This trip for the two of them was in vain. This has been delayed for several days, and I don’t know how long it will last.

Zhao Guangyuan didn't say anything. He was also worried that the family of three would be separated forever. But he couldn't bring out this emotion, Xia'er would be sad. He had no choice but to comfort him silently.

Lin Zhaoxia also knew that he had many things to do and the responsibilities and pressure on his shoulders, so he didn't mention it again.

The two of them were silent all the way, and quickly returned to the capital at noon the next day.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Guangyuan was asked to leave before he could pack up. People from the Ministry of Rites have been looking forward to him for many days. The King of Yue was urging him to do something, and everyone in the Ministry of Rites was so busy preparing for his wedding. As a result, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

There are many things waiting for him to make up his mind. I am anxious to wait every day.

As a result, as soon as he entered the house, people from the Ministry of Rites received the news and came to his door.

Lin Zhaoxia also received many greetings. When the maid brought them over, she opened them, looked at them, and started to reply. She and Zhao Guangyuan discussed that they would not go out to see guests before the wedding. They replied to the posts one by one and explained that they would invite everyone to her wedding banquet and then hold a banquet to invite everyone after the wedding banquet.

Have people send replies to each house.

Zhao Guangyuan was busy until the end of the year. When he returned to his room, he saw Lin Zhaoxia leaning on the couch with her hands on her forehead and her eyes closed. Under the candlelight, her palm-sized face was covered with a layer of sadness and her eyebrows were furrowed, which made him feel heartbroken.

He walked over and sat down gently next to her. Under the candlelight, her face was covered by the candlelight, as if it was covered with a layer of clear light, like a dream. Even though it had been several days since she came to him, Zhao Guangyuan felt like he was in a dream.

As soon as his hand touched her face, Lin Zhaoxia woke up. "You're back?"

"Well, why don't you sleep first."

"Wait for you."

Zhao Guangyuan sighed softly, leaned on the couch and held her in his arms, "Tomorrow at sunset, I will take you into the palace to thank you. I will take the opportunity to burn some paper money for my old friend in the abandoned palace. I will take you to the abandoned palace to see him again." Look, we asked for permission to come out after dark."

"The palace gates are closed at sunset. Why are we allowed to stay in the palace?"

"You have to give it a try." He would not be willing to stay in the abandoned palace until dark. Xia'er came just after dark that day. "It's just that the queen mother asked me to burn some paper money, old books and the like for Brother Huang."

Empress Zhenshun was buried in the imperial mausoleum, but Zhao Guangyuan's brother, the former crown prince, had his home confiscated for committing a crime. The family did not even repair the mausoleum and was hastily buried in the suburbs of Beijing.

"Then..." "Don't worry, he will agree."

Sure enough, when Zhao Guangyuan entered the palace the next morning to reply and asked the emperor for permission to go to the abandoned palace to worship in the evening, the emperor initially disagreed.

"Didn't you just come back from the imperial mausoleum?"

"Imperial brother is not buried in the imperial mausoleum." The voice was cold.

Emperor Zhizheng choked and said, "Then go to his grave and burn it."

"Father doesn't need to remind me that my son will do it too. But dad, don't forget that the abandoned palace also imprisoned the emperor's brother, and his resentment still remains there."

Zhizheng Emperor's body tightened.

Does the First Prince have any grievances? Of course there is, he knows it in his heart. He also knew in his heart whether the first prince was guilty or not.

The crimes of the former prince were not as great as those of his children, but he listened to the ministers at that time and said that he wanted to eradicate the evil, so none of the prince's heirs were left behind. He must have resentment in his heart.

In these years, Emperor Zhengzheng never mentioned the former prince, and none of the ministers and palace attendants mentioned the former prince in front of him.

But when he saw the King of Yue, he would naturally think of the first prince, and when he saw Jiang Xiang, he would also involuntarily think of the first prince. He is the monarch of Daqi, and everything he does is naturally for Daqi and for the eternal stability of Daqi. He is not wrong.

Even if it's wrong, it's someone else's fault.

Emperor Zhizheng looked at Zhao Guangyuan for a long time before looking away, "This is just this time, it won't be the same next time."

"Yes."

"Ms. Lin doesn't need to go to the palace to express gratitude."

"She can just wait until after the wedding to go to the palace with me to thank her. But tonight I will take her to pay homage to the Emperor. Please protect us and ensure that the wedding goes well."

Emperor Zhizheng wanted to object, but had no reason to object. My chest was filled with air, and I didn't want to say anything more to him, so I waved him away.

Zhao Guangyuan left the imperial study and strode out of the palace without looking back.

Seeing him striding like lightning, Liu Qi wished he could leave the palace as early as possible and didn't want to stay for even a moment longer. He sighed silently in his heart. Just as he was sighing, he heard the emperor calling him, "Prepare a sacrificial ritual and hand it over to the King of Yue in the evening."

Liu Qi lowered his eyes and said, "Yes." Not daring to think too much, he turned around and went to prepare.

Before sunset, Zhao Guangyuan took Lin Zhaoxia into the palace without disturbing others, and chose a remote path to enter the abandoned palace. At the gate of the palace, he took the sacrifice from Liu Qi's hand and thanked him. Liu Qi didn't stay long, turned around and left.

Only Zhao Guangyuan and Lin Zhaoxia were left in the abandoned palace.

Taking advantage of the setting sun, the two laid out the sacrifices and burned some old books and paper money. "My royal brother likes reading very much and has a wide range of knowledge. I think if he reaches modern times, he will definitely want to stay in the library all day long."

Lin Zhaoxia listened to him talking about the late crown prince, and listened silently, asking questions from time to time, feeling sad for the late crown prince and his family who died young.

He was obviously the most noble prince, but he still fell into ruins. The person sitting in the highest position can give you the title of crown prince, pull you down, and make you die.

As the afterglow faded and darkness fell, the wind suddenly rose in the ruined palace, and the ashes that had not yet been collected were suddenly blown up by the wind.

The two of them were excited. Stand up and look at it all.
