Chapter 195 The Vinegar of the Dead
"Who is He Manzi?" Shen Zaiye frowned.

Taohua said: "He Manzi used to be the favorite concubine of an emperor, but she fell out of favor and died in the palace. When everyone went to carry her coffin, they passed through the palace gate, and suddenly it became as heavy as a mountain, making it impossible to lift her coffin. .It was not until the emperor ran over, stroked the coffin and called her name, that the coffin returned to normal and could be carried away."

After a slight pause, Shen Zaye glanced at Lu Zhilan, smiled wryly and said, "Could it be that I have to bring Emperor Mingde back from the dead to call her by her name?"

"No." Taohua shook her head: "What I mean by this concubine is that Emperor Mingde should be the one she cared most about before she died. Although this mountain is far away from the imperial mausoleum, Chongxian Mountain happens to be visible from here, so she doesn't want to leave. Why don't you just order someone to prepare a coffin and bury her here, presumably it is also her last wish."

Shen Zaiye was silent, nodded after a long time, and turned around to let Zhanlu prepare for Lu Zhilan's funeral.The wind was very strong on the mountain, he should go, but he took a look at the man lying on the ground, and found a place to sit beside him.

"She owes Emperor Mingde a lot." He whispered, "I owe her a lot too."

Taohua stretched out her hand and squeezed his cold palm, held it in her palm and let out a breath of steam: "You will remember it in your next life."

"Do people really have a next life?" Shen Zaye turned to look at her and asked seriously.

"Do you want to listen to the truth?" Taohua tilted her head: "There is no truth. Even if there is, who will remember who in the next life? To say that you will pay back in the next life is nothing more than that you can't be responsible in this life, or you don't want to be responsible, so Give yourself a comfort."

Looking at her with complicated eyes, Shen Zaiye said: "So are you comforting me, or blaming me?"

"Where does this concubine have the position to blame the master?" Taohua sighed: "The master did nothing wrong from the beginning to the end. She chose the path and made the decision herself. How can you blame me?"

It's just that people will have the mentality of venting anger. When a person dies because of love, and there is no one to blame, she will blame the person she likes.She likes you so much, why can't you like her?Maybe if you liked her then, she wouldn't be dead now.

However, this mentality is very unfair, and the person who is liked has no fault.

Shen Zaye let out a "huh", but his mood was very low, he lowered his eyes and said nothing, waiting for someone to take care of the matter afterward.

The coffin was lifted up, but no one could move Lu Zhilan's body. In desperation, they could only dig up the soil around her, trying to bury her directly.

Shen Zaiye got up, removed the bottom of the coffin, and dug out all the soil under Lu Zhilan himself, let her lie in the pit, then put the funeral objects on it, and finally covered the coffin, filled it with soil and erected a monument.

The inscription was also carved by him himself. Zhilan of Mulu's family set it up in the direction of the imperial mausoleum. After burning incense, he saluted with Jiang Taohua.

Taohua asked, "Your Majesty, do you not regret it?"

"Regret." Without asking what she was asking, Shen Zaiye raised his eyes, looked at the tombstone and said, "Give me another chance, and if I break her leg, I will keep her in Lu's house and won't take her out .”

However, if she is not brought out, she will probably live in her obsession with him forever, and she will never let go of it for the rest of her life, and she will never meet Emperor Mingde who loves her so much.

There are pros and cons.

Taohua sighed silently, and after standing on the mountain for a while, she finally returned to the mansion with Shen Zaiya.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Shen Zaiye was called away, saying that something happened in the court.Taohua went back to Zhengchun Pavilion alone, just about to sit down and drink a cup of hot tea, but found her master was lying on the soft couch, her silver hair was disheveled, and her peony robe was still very arrogant.

"Little guy, I was bullied by your man." As soon as she saw her, Qian Baimei immediately complained: "He kicked my teacher out of the house!"

Tao Hua nodded, and sat down calmly beside her: "Being able to drive you out means that you are also willing, otherwise he will have nothing to do with you."

Just this reaction?Qianbai frowned, and said aggrievedly: "You really are partial to him!"

Peach Blossom said nothing.

Sensing that something was wrong, Qian Baimei returned to seriousness, looked at her and asked, "What happened?"

"Lu Zhilan is dead." Tao Hua said in a low voice, "It was a person who liked Shen Zaiye very much. He killed a person who liked him very much for him, and now he committed suicide for the person who liked him very much."

"...wait a minute" Qian Baimei frowned: "What do you like to come and go?"

Taohua stopped talking, her eyes were a little dazed, Qianbaimei looked at her, and she could clearly feel the sadness in her heart, so she quickly reached out to feed her a mouthful of hot tea, then patted her on the back and said, "I can't figure it out." Just say it and let the master listen, don't think about it by yourself."

"There is nothing Tuer can't understand." Taohua said: "Tuer knows that it is her own choice, and it has nothing to do with anyone. It's just that Tuer doesn't know if he thinks the same way, and whether he will always take care of her for the rest of his life. Living with guilt?"

Although it sounded confusing, Qianbaimei still understood what she meant, and her expression became serious in an instant: "Little guy, you still don't know enough about men."

"Huh?" Looking up at him blankly, Tao Hua asked, "Master understands very well?"

Nonsense, he is a man!
Qianbaimei sighed: "Men have a heroic complex, not only in terms of work, but also in terms of feelings. They also firmly believe that an infatuated man is a good man, so after having a relationship, they will always miss that woman, even afterward. With other women, I also like to keep the former person in my heart and touch myself. You have to believe that his feelings are not that deep at all. "

Blinking, Taohua said: "Shen Zaiye seems to have no affection for her, just pure guilt."

"You don't have to worry about guilt." Qianbaimei said: "Anyway, the person is dead, and he can't make up for it. Shouldn't he be allowed to keep the person in his heart? It doesn't prevent you from eating and sleeping, so why don't you still have to go with me?" Does he care about it?"

Tao Hua frowned, and thought for a while before saying: "Actually, it really has nothing to do with me. I don't want to care about anything, but I just feel a little inexplicably sad."

"Maybe it's because Lu Zhilan's fate was too miserable."

After staring at her for a few times, Qianbai's eyebrows and eyes were complicated, and he paused for a while before saying, "Didn't you realize that you are actually being jealous of a dead man?"

"What?" Tao Hua was taken aback, and looked at him with a frown: "Master, don't talk nonsense, Lu Zhilan and I have known each other for a while, and we are gone, why am I still jealous?"

"Because once she dies, she will always have a place in Shen Zaiye's heart." Qian Baimei shrugged: "And you are not sure how much affection he has for you."
