Shi Qingxue imagined the scene of meeting Dong Hui countless times, but in the end they all ended in tears, without exception.
She originally thought she was ready.
But when she saw Dong Hui again, as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt that her heart was torn apart, and her little heart could hardly bear such pain.
So when Dong Hui slapped her hand away and shouted sternly: "What are you talking about?"
Shi Qingxue simply didn't have the courage or ability to repeat it again. She just held Shi Junhe's tablet in her arms with one hand and covered her lips with the other hand to prevent herself from crying.
Dong Hui didn't get an answer, and her eyes suddenly turned gloomy, staring at Shi Qingxue.
She grabbed Qingxue's lapel and asked word for word: "What did you say? Say it to me again!"
Dong Hui's eyes were now red, as terrifying as a rakshasa from hell.
Shi Qingxue didn't feel scared, but felt more and more heartbroken.
"Mother, mother, don't do this, don't do this..."
Dong Hui waved away Shi Qingxue's hand again, with such force that she almost pushed Shi Qingxue to the ground.
But she was indifferent, and just stared at Shi Qingxue, fiercely, "I promised that I would come back safely, and he would never lie to me! Don't talk nonsense to me here!"
"Mom!" Shi Qingxue expected early on that Dong Hui might not be able to accept the news of Shi Junhe's death, but she didn't expect that Dong Hui's reaction would be so big.
Qingxue had to suppress her heartache and wanted to comfort Dong Hui first.
But Dong Hui had completely fallen into the devil's trap. Not only did she not listen to Shi Qingxue's words, she pushed Shi Qingxue with all her strength several times, pushing him to the ground, and then cursed viciously: "Get out of here, get out of here." ! The master will definitely come back, he will definitely... "
Dong Hui shouted with all her strength, as if the louder she shouted, the more likely she would be able to escape Shi Qingxue's words and Shi Junhe would be able to come back alive!
At the end of the shouting, Dong Hui couldn't catch a breath, rolled her eyes and fainted.
Shi Qingxue was so frightened that she ignored the wound on her arm and stood up to catch Dong Hui.
Aunt Zheng also hurriedly came forward to help, "Liu Niang, what should we do?"
A nice welcome feast turned into the most painful farewell in the world in a blink of an eye. Not to mention that Dong Hui couldn't accept it. Even the people standing on the street had not recovered yet and looked on blankly. Their eyes were dull.
It was Mo Junyang who walked in from outside the city in time, supported Shi Qingxue, and calmly ordered, "First send Mrs. Shi back to the Duke of Shi's Mansion, and then help General Shi's coffin into the city and complete the audience ceremony."
Shi Qingxue was in a daze, but she suddenly woke up after hearing Mo Junyang's voice.
yes!
Today was still a grand day for the Shi family's army to triumph. No matter how heartbroken she was, she could not ruin the ceremony of the Shi family army's audience with the emperor.
This is a ceremony for the Shi family's army to win the battle, and it is the ending that my father thought about before he died.
No matter how sad Shi Qingxue is, she must endure it.
"I know." Shi Qingxue bit her lower lip tightly, almost leaving a bloody mark on her thin red lips, but she seemed not to feel the pain.
With a small face, he arranged the Shi family army to move forward in an orderly manner.
With the coffin in front, people all over the city were still standing on both sides of the road, but their initial excitement had long since disappeared, leaving only endless depression.
Shi Qingxue still held Shi Junhe's tablet, held her back high, and walked forward step by step.
The victorious team walked all the way to the entrance of the palace, where Mo Junyu was already waiting.
For Shi Junhe, a martyr who sacrificed his life for the country, Mo Junyu also showed enough respect. Not only did he greet him personally, he also wore plain clothes and solemnly placed three sticks of incense in front of Shi Junhe's coffin.
Mo Junyu held the coffin, and after expressing some words of gratitude and encouragement to Shi Jiajun in a deep voice, he rewarded Shi Jiajun generously, and the treatment given was almost unprecedentedly generous.
It's just that no one in the Shi family army feels truly happy. So what if he is promoted to a higher rank? What if Shi Junhe is posthumously named the supreme general who respects the country
Shi Junhe died, and the Shi family army lost the leader who led them to prosperity.
Such a loss cannot be redeemed by any reward.
Mo Junyu's speech was very beautiful, but the audience was all lifeless, making his declaration of victory feel like a funeral speech.
His Majesty the Emperor couldn't bear it without saying a few words, so he ended the meeting hastily and let the Shi family troops settle down on their own.
As for the people in the Shi Family Army, almost all of them were immersed in the sadness of losing their leader and did not notice what Mo Junyu said. Even after Mo Junyu finished speaking, they bowed their heads in silence without any reaction.
Mo Junyu was depressed, but he also understood that now was not the time to argue with them, so he could only sullenly throw up his sleeves and leave.
Before leaving, Mo Junyu was still a little angry. He turned around and ordered the eunuch Zhang You: "Prince Xuan Mo will come to the palace immediately to pay his respects. There must be no mistake."
Zhang You immediately grimaced upon hearing this.
He had not forgotten what happened in Jiangzhou before, and he was always on tenterhooks.
Now His Majesty the Emperor is preparing to settle accounts after the fall, and it is Mo Junyang who he is looking for.
He didn't know what Mo Junyang felt, but his heart was already in his throat, almost about to jump out of his throat.
But the emperor gave the order, and Zhang You had no choice but to go and deliver the order.
At that time, Mo Junyang was accompanying Shi Qingxue to deal with the aftermath. After listening to Zhang You's words, he frowned slightly and said with an indifferent expression: "You go and report to His Majesty first, and then say that I still have some important things to finish, and I will arrange things later." If it is done properly, it will enter the palace on its own."
Zhang You has been serving Mo Junyu for many years, so he naturally knows that the Crown Prince often delayed Mo Junyu's orders when His Majesty was still the Crown Prince, and sometimes even ignored them directly. His Highness the Crown Prince at that time was not angry at all.
But this moment is another moment!
Mo Junyu is now the emperor, how could he allow others to challenge his majesty
Not to mention that Mo Junyang is seeking death by saying this, even if he, the microphone, really dares to convey Mo Junyang's words to His Majesty, he will suffer!
Zhang You had a mournful face and burst into tears, "Shizi Mo! Let us beg you! Your Majesty has been looking forward to you for a long time, and no matter what happens, it is more important than not being able to see your Majesty!"
Please put all those things aside and see His Majesty first! Otherwise, this little dog’s life would be in jeopardy! "
The little eunuch knelt in front of Mo Junyang, pulled his clothes and begged.
Shi Qingxue listened awkwardly, but when she saw Mo Junyang frowning, she spoke first: "Your Majesty is anxious to summon you. There must be something important. I can handle it here at Shi's Army, and there are two generals here." I'll help you, everything will be fine. You can enter the palace first!"
Mo Junyang finally nodded, but still warned: "Then I'll come as soon as I can. After you're done, wait for me at the military camp, and I'll accompany you to take General Shi's coffin back to Shi's home."
Shi Qingxue nodded and said that she would wait obediently in the military camp for Mo Junyang to arrive before leaving.
But not long after Mo Junyang left, Shi Qingxue felt like she was going to be slapped in the face.
Still the kind that makes a snapping noise—
The servants of Shi Guogong's Mansion came to tell him that Dong Hui had woken up and asked Shi Qingxue to go back to see her immediately.
Most of the things in the military camp have been completed. The next things can be handled by Wei Cheng and Wei Hui. There is no need for Shi Qingxue to worry at all.
But Shi Qingxue had just promised Mo Junyang that she would wait for him at the military camp when he came back, and now she turned around and ran away.
Needless to say, Shi Qingxue was embarrassed herself.
But Dong Hui has been abnormal ever since she heard the news of Shi Junhe's death, and the behavior at the gate of the city still leaves her with lingering fears.
It was rare that Dong Hui wanted to see her, and Shi Qingxue really couldn't ignore Dong Hui's order.
"Miss, let's wait a little longer!" Dongshuang persuaded Shi Qingxue in a low voice when she saw that Shi Qingxue was in a dilemma.
Shi Qingxue raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Why do you think so?"
It was rare for her to see Dongshuang ask her for something so firmly.
Dongshuang shook his head and said: "Dongshuang doesn't understand the truth and has no other ideas, but Prince Mo is the one who loves you the most. What he says is never wrong."
In fact, Dong Shuang has never seen Mo Junyang make any mistakes.
In the eyes of this little maid, Mo Junyang is probably the most reliable person besides her master.
Shi Qingxue also understood this truth, but in her position, there was no way she could ignore Dong Hui's words!
She thought about it for a while, then pursed her lips and ordered: "Dong Shuang, I will give you the token. You enter the palace and wait there. When Jun Yang comes out, you will go back to Shi's home with him."
"Then you..."
"If mother calls me, I will always go back." Shi Qingxue said with a bitter smile.
not to mention-
Shi Qingxue's eyes fell on Shi Junhe's tablet, her sadness lingering.
Her father also wants to go home!
Shi Qingxue once again held Shi Junhe's tablet and supported Shi Junhe's coffin, and returned to Shi's home.
The huge Duke Shi's Mansion has been hung with white cloth and white lanterns, and the mourning hall has been decorated.
Shi Junhe's coffin was placed in the middle of the mourning hall, and the tablet was placed respectfully on the Eight Immortals table by Shi Qingxue.
"Daddy!"
As soon as Shi Qingxue had done all this, a sharp voice broke in.
She hurriedly looked back and saw Shi Baoning walking in with a big belly being supported by the maid Jing Xin.
Qingxue quickly stepped forward to help, "Sister, why are you here?"
But Shi Baoning pushed Shi Qingxue's hand away, with a cold and aggressive look on his face, "Why can't I come? Shi Qingxue, don't forget, he is not only your father, but also my father. !”
Shi Qingxue didn't know that her caring words would be so misinterpreted, so she quickly explained: "That's not what I meant. I was just worried that it would be inconvenient for you to have a big belly..."
She was afraid that something would happen to Shi Baoning.
But instead of being grateful, Shi Baoning sneered coldly: "Dad is gone, even if it's inconvenient, I should come to pay my respects.
Or am I just a heartless white-eyed wolf in your eyes? "
At this time, Shi Baoning felt as if he had eaten gunpowder. The smell of gunpowder made him almost burn. His words were thorny and sarcastic, as if Shi Qingxue was her father-killing enemy and Qingxue would be stabbed all over. No one understands the hatred.
