The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 449 The Grand Finale (3)
Although the eldest princess is a relative of the emperor, her funeral was very frugal.Now that Dayong is in civil strife, the Ministry of Household Affairs really can't allocate extra money.The Empress Dowager didn't care about these matters, so she only sent Uncle Guo to preside over the overall situation.However, due to the status of the eldest princess, there are still many people who come to express their condolences.

Mrs. Xu is of a high seniority, so she doesn't have to come here in person on such an occasion, but Zhao Jing is pregnant, and she is worried about her going there, so she made this trip in person. People came together.

Yesterday he was frightened, Wei Mingzhen thought that Zhao Jing would not come over, but now seeing her helping the old lady come over, he was a little surprised, so he went up to meet him himself.

Now Mrs. Xu knew that Wei Mingzhen was actually Zhao Jing's younger brother. Although the two men and women were different, but upon closer inspection, they were indeed somewhat similar, so she fell in love with him even more. She only smiled and said, "So you are here?" , I was also thinking that there is no man in charge in the eldest princess's mansion, now that you are here, it is appropriate."

After talking, the two went to the mansion. A woman came and led everyone to the mourning hall. Zhao Jing stopped in her tracks, turned around and asked Wei Mingzhen, "Why did you come here yesterday? If you were late , Those people are afraid that they will take us away."

"There have always been secret sentries placed by the Regent outside Jingci Temple. I don't know how many there are. After the prince rebelled, I was afraid that he would harm my mother, so I sent some people there, but I was able to find you quickly yesterday, but I don't know how many people there are. It's not my fault alone." Wei Mingzhen said, his handsome eyebrows lightly glanced at Zhao Jing, before Zhao Jing asked him, he just said: "I thought Xu Si'an was just a vulgar general, but I didn't expect him You are so careful, you have greeted the people on the Nine Gates, if the people from the Houfu go out of the city, they will definitely send people to follow them, when I took people there, I happened to meet their people, so I knew where you went. "

Zhao Jing's cheeks turned red when she heard this, and remembering that Xu Si'an left in a hurry and couldn't give him a good ride after all, she felt a little regretful in her heart, and said lightly: "I don't know when they will come back. "

"They?" Wei Mingzhen asked after a pause, "Is it Xu Si'an, Zhou Yi, or both of them?"

Zhao Jing just lowered her head and did not speak, raised her head to see Wei Mingzhen's faint eyebrows, and finally said: "You will assist the emperor more in the future."

Wei Mingzhen also sighed after hearing this: "The empress dowager also told me the same thing. The regent might not be able to come back this time. The palace received a secret report from the front line last night. The Confederate army has completely surrendered, and he is surrounded by only a few thousand rebels brought from the south, who have been driven to the seaside."

Zhou Yi was defeated so quickly.Zhao Jing could hardly believe her ears.But... If he is undefeated, then the loser is Xu Si'an!
"If he is captured alive, is there any hope of living?" Zhao Jing raised her head and looked at Wei Mingzhen. She didn't want Zhou Yi to die, she wanted to stand in front of him and ask him seriously: Why did you rebel?
"Conspiracy is a serious crime against the nine clans, even if he is the regent." Wei Mingzhen turned his head away. At this moment, a servant came over quickly and whispered something into his ear. Wei Mingzhen's expression froze. , turned to Zhao Jing and said: "The emperor has left the palace in micro-clothes, I will come as soon as I go."

Since the last time she came out of the palace, Zhao Jing hadn't been in the palace again, and the little emperor had never sent someone to invite her into the palace as before.She stood far behind the holly tree in the yard, watching the little emperor walking along the path.I haven't seen him for two months, but he seems to have grown a lot taller again. He is tall and slender, and his gestures are more and more like a king.

The sound of suona, gongs and drums came from outside the door, accompanied by the cries in the mourning hall, which made people feel dull and depressed.Seeing Wei Mingzhen leave, Lu Wu stepped forward to support Zhao Jing and said, "Madam, please go in and burn a stick of incense. The old lady has already sat down in the side hall."

Zhao Jing nodded, and was helped in by the maid, and a woman lit a stick of incense and handed it over.Zhao Jing's belly was already a little big, and she looked a little clumsy when she bent down. After bowing the bow, she handed the fragrance to the servant girl. When she raised her head, she saw Zhou Xu sitting on the side of the mourning hall, her gaze was on her. body.

When he met his gaze, he turned his head slightly, saw Lu Xinyue kneeling in front of him, and whispered: "Cousin, let's be sad."
