Reborn as a paranoid regent's sweetheart

Chapter 44 Life after death

The people felt even more sad when they heard the words. Although the guards let them go, the people didn't dare to mess around. They guarded an inch of space and stopped moving forward. But for a while, the crying and howling in the mourning hall can be described as heart-piercing. .

Most of the people who came today were benefited by Xiao Che's favor. Most of them actually said they were sad, and they were indeed sad, but this kind of sadness was not as much as they showed. Many people just followed suit and cried, quite a kind of "I Can't be worse than you" feeling.

As time passed bit by bit, many people gathered outside. Once the sadness began to spread, even the stone man would shed a few tears.

Shen Xi walked to the side of the coffin blankly, wanting to take off the mask on Xiao Che's face to see if it was the face in her memory. For some reason, she had a strong urge that maybe the person in front of her was not Xiao Che. thorough!
Her mind went blank for a while, she just wanted to prove whether her thoughts were wrong, but Shen Li came out from behind in white and stopped her: "Xi'er."

Only then did Shen Xi snap back to her senses.

What did I almost do just now?
"Brother." The haggard look on Shen Xi's face was not faked, she was already a little sick.

Shen Xi's hand followed Xiao Che's hand downwards, this... this is really not him!
Shen Xi's heart stopped for a moment.

Xiao Che has a thin layer of calluses on his hands because he practiced martial arts all the year round. Although this person also has calluses, Shen Xi just knows that this is not Xiao Che.

She remembered the few words Shen Li wrote on her hand yesterday, and her mind became clear instantly.

It turned out to be the case.

Shen Xi was determined in her heart, but she still had a mournful look on her face. She held on to "Xiao Che"'s clothes tightly, and finally couldn't help crying loudly, and made a full appearance in front of the people: "Husband... "

Shen Li walked up to her, patted her on the shoulder lightly, and then said to the common people: "The kindness of all of you, this general knows that the prince must be very comforted by the spirit in the sky, but it's getting late now, everyone If you really want the prince to leave with peace of mind, and everyone lives well, the prince will naturally feel at ease."

After Shen Li said so, the people naturally had no reason to stay any longer, but within a cup of tea, the people had already left in a hurry, and Shen Li was entangled in affairs, so he left after staying for a while.

On the contrary, a dry and skinny child did not leave, knelt in front of the coffin of "Xiao Che" and remained motionless. Shuqin whispered something in Shen Xi's ear, and Shen Xi sighed: "Take him down to wash up. .”

The child raised his head when he heard the words, his bright eyes were full of disbelief: "Princess...I...if it wasn't because of me..."

If it wasn't for saving me, the prince wouldn't have died...

Shen Xi knew that this was a great opportunity to save Xiao Che's reputation and regain the common people: "How old are you now?"

"Seven years old."

"Since the prince saved you, he will not regret it anymore, and how can you blame you for this matter? It's just the way of heaven." Shen Xi smiled miserably: "The prince doesn't say anything, so I have no right to blame you. Your life was saved by the lord, so naturally I will protect it."

This child is an orphan. His parents died when he was young. He was brought up by his grandparents. Then there was a famine, and his grandparents were too old to survive. He was smart since he was a child. Arrived today.

Now that he had nowhere to go, Shen Xi could only do his last bit of kindness, ask someone to get him decent clothes and food, and give him some money to spend.

The child stopped resisting after hearing the words, and let the guards take him down.

Shen Xi knelt in front of "Xiao Che"'s coffin to burn paper money for him, the mourning clothes were ready, Shen Xi felt a little dazed holding the clothes.

It is obvious that the husband is not dead yet, so the filial piety clothes should be put on first.

Shen Xi smiled wryly.

It's just that the fallen leaves return to their roots, and "Xiao Che"'s body must be sent back to the capital. If it's freezing cold today, the body won't decompose too quickly, but the departure must take two days.

When she went back to her room to change her clothes, Shen Xi was still thinking about what they were planning.

What Shen Li said, "The golden cicada escapes its shell, dies and comes back to life", could it be that... he wanted to fake his death and then draw out that secret work?
That's quite possible.

Shen Xi narrowed her eyes.

But how would Xiao Che go back to the capital, could it be that he got mixed up in the funeral procession?

If that's the case... Shen Xi's heart shuddered.

Anyway, the injuries on his body are not completely healed, he also went there the day he came to save someone, so his injuries...

Shen Xi was worried, so she hurriedly went to find Shen Li after putting on her filial piety clothes. He must know the most about Xiao Che now.

Shen Li obviously knew the reason for her visit, and before she could say a word, he heard him say lightly: "It's all right."

Shuqin was confused when he heard it, but Shen Xi understood what he meant, and his hanging heart was relieved at this moment: "I wonder when the prince's coffin will leave?"

"I will send someone to call you tomorrow morning. The journey is bumpy and tiring. You should rest early today." Shen Li said, "Can you have lunch?"

Shen Xi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

Shen Li was very helpless: "You..."

Regarding this younger sister, Shen Li didn't know what to say, so he could only say: "Go and eat quickly, don't forget to take the medicine."

"Ah."

It's already past the meal time now, but fortunately, the back kitchen knew that Shen Xi hadn't eaten yet, so the meal was kept warm for her, and her medicine had already started to fry, waiting for her Present it to her after eating.

Although Shen Xi knew that Xiao Che was fine at the moment, she still felt uneasy in her heart. She couldn't calm down even if she didn't see Xiao Che for a moment.

At night, while Shuqin was packing things for Shen Xi, she looked at Shen Xi from the corner of her eye from time to time. She wanted to ask Shen Xi about Qin Zhao's whereabouts several times, but she knew in her heart that she couldn't ask these questions because of her identity. of.

Now the prince is back, but no one seems to have paid attention to Qin Zhao.

Shuqin gritted her teeth, but still asked, "Madam, General Qin...is he back?"

Shen Xi only thought that she was thinking of Qin Zhao's life-saving grace. After all, the two of them were traveling together, so she didn't think too much about it: "I just remembered after you said that. It seems that I haven't seen General Qin."

Shuqin was a little anxious: "Is it possible that General Qin is still in that mountain?"

Shen Xi had other plans in mind, maybe Qin Zhao was sent by Xiao Che to do other things, otherwise he was a general no matter what, how could he just disappear?
"Probably not." Shen Xi pondered for a moment: "You ask Feng Yu to come in."

Shuqin went to call him in a hurry.
