Is the emperor cremated today?

Chapter 58

In the end, Xiao Qi did not eat the snack in Xu Miaoyin's hand. When she got off the car, Xu Miaoyin felt that Xiao Qi's hand holding her was a little sad.

The carriage arrived at the back door of the palace. At this time, the old housekeeper of the palace was already waiting there. Seeing Xu Miaoyin getting off the carriage with His Majesty beside him, he ordered the boy next to him to go in and report, and he hurriedly greeted him. , although he looked a little excited, he still respectfully saluted Xiao Qi.

Xu Miaoyin supported the old housekeeper's arm when he was about to kneel down, glanced at Xiao Qi and said with a smile: "Grandpa Meng, there is no need to be polite. I haven't seen you for many years, but your body still looks so strong."

Butler Meng has been with Wang Yanqing since he was young, and he also watched Xu Miaoyin grow up. He knows more or less many things. Although there are differences between master and servant, he regards the two sisters Xu Miaoyin as his granddaughters. , now one of the two sisters has died in a foreign land, and the other has experienced life and death and has lost a lot of weight. They feel indescribably distressed in their hearts. Seeing the emperor watching from the side, it is difficult to say many words.

Steward Meng said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I didn't know that you would come with the eldest girl. I have already sent someone to report it. Please forgive me for missing the welcome."

After saying that, he knelt down again to perform the ceremony of worship.

Xiao Qi said calmly: "No, I came unexpectedly. Today I am just the grandson of the Wang family."

Xu Miaoyin saw that Xiao Qi didn't care about it, not to mention that it was his own fault in the first place, so she didn't take it to heart. She held Butler Meng's hand and walked toward the door. As she walked, she said, "Grandpa Meng, don't worry, we Let’s go see my grandfather first.”

When Butler Meng saw that Xiao Qi really didn't look unhappy, he followed Xu Miaoyin in with peace of mind. Xiao Qi followed the two of them leisurely.

The palace is not big, and Wang Yanqing is the only daughter of the Wang family. After her daughter gets married, there is no reason to change the house. When the Wang family was still alive, she would always bring Xu Miaoyin back to visit Wang Yanqing, but later she had a daughter. Xu Jiaoyue was injured when she was a child and rarely came back. In total, Xu Miaoyin had not seen her grandfather for many years.

In the impression of her grandfather, although her temples were gray, her face was always rosy and her body was strong. She still remembered that when she was a child, her grandfather's friends came to visit, and he could play with them day and night in Yujing without feeling tired, so she never thought about it. Her beloved grandfather would be so old.

In the study, Wang Yanqing stood in front of the window, holding a cane in both hands, with a hunched and thin body, and his silver hair neatly combed meticulously. The wind outside the window blew in and gently caressed his body, making him even more beautiful. The green gown was empty. When he heard the study door being pushed open, he turned his head slightly and looked at the person calmly, but his eyes slowly turned red.

This was what Xu Miaoyin saw when she first walked into the study. The old man in front of the window was her grandfather Wang Yanqing. He was looking at herself lovingly and seemed to be looking at others.

Wang Yanqing looked at Xiao Qi next to Xu Miaoyin and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I want to talk to Miaomiao alone. Is it okay?"

Since he said that he was just the grandson of the Wang family today, he, Wang Yanqing, did not need to be polite to him.

Xiao Qi glanced sideways at Xu Miaoyin who looked excited, then turned around and left the study. The door of the study was also closed by Butler Meng. He looked back at the closed door, a flash of worry flashed in his eyes, and stood there.

Butler Meng saw him stop and look at the door, not knowing what he was thinking, so he lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please follow me to the flower hall to sit for a while."

After saying that, he led Xiao Qi to the flower hall. Xiao Qi paused and followed Butler Meng away.

In the study, Xu Miaoyin helped the old man sit on the couch, opened the food box he brought, and said, "Grandpa, my mother taught me to make these when she was still alive. You may like it if you try it."

Wang Yanqing picked up a piece of yam roll with silver chopsticks and ate it slowly. After finishing one piece, Xu Miaoyin handed over the tea at the right time. Wang Yanqing took it and took a few sips before slowly turning his eyes. Put it on the white jade cake. "Your mother likes to eat white jade cakes the most. Every time your grandmother makes white jade cakes for her, she always leaves some for me to eat together when I go to the office. She is well-behaved and smart, but she is also a person who accepts death. Back then, your father did it for our family. Your grandmother didn't agree with your mother marrying your father because she wanted to give up her career, but your mother said that there are thousands of people in the world who may never meet someone as good to her as your father..."

Wang Yanqing spoke very slowly, with a hint of nostalgia in his tone. He looked at his only granddaughter and continued: "Miaomiao, you are the most like your mother. You have your own opinions but also accept death. Now that some things have passed, Now, let’s put it down. Grandpa just wants you to live your life well. Nothing is more important than your ability to live well.”

Xu Miaoyin lowered her eyes with red eyes, restraining her tears from flowing down, but her trembling shoulders still betrayed her. Her pain, anger and grievances were pouring out at this moment, and her tears could no longer be controlled like a broken thread. The pearls flowed down.

She choked up and said: "I once told myself this, forget the fire and the people who died unjustly in that fire, and my father who died unjustly. I also know that I can't do anything for them as a powerless person. I just want to stay away from these grudges with Jiaojiao and watch Jiaojiao live a happy life. But they want to kill us all. Even if we escape so far, they still won’t let us go. Why? Why can they do whatever they want? Trampling on other people's lives, why can he control other people's life and death? Since he can use me, why can't I use the people he loves most? I also want them to taste the pain of losing their loved ones!"

By the end, Xu Miaoyin's eyes were full of hatred.

Wang Yanqing was heartbroken by the deep hatred in Xu Miaoyin's eyes. He was the only relative in this world, and he couldn't bear her to torture him in hatred.

He still wanted to say something, but he saw Xu Miaoyin wiped her tears and her expression returned to normal. She just said calmly: "Grandpa, don't worry, I won't do anything stupid. I know that the culprit of everything is Fang Zhiyuan, but I won't forgive Xiao Qi. It's not that he didn't know what Fang Zhiyuan did to my father and what he did to my Xu family, but he let him do it and only let people come to save me. He has paid the price for his selfishness. Doesn't he love me? Then I will let him have only me, so that Xiao Qi will never have any children again. This is the punishment he deserves. As for Fang Zhiyuan, I will Make him pay the price."

Wang Yanqing could clearly see that his granddaughter had been blinded by hatred. He sighed. If he had insisted on teaching Xiao Qi back then, wouldn't he have reached this point today?

When Xu Miaoyin saw the old man's expression of compassion, she knew what he was thinking. She didn't want to make the old man so sad today, so she smiled and changed the subject.

"Grandpa, your charming daughter is called Awan. You haven't seen her yet. I'll bring her to see you in two days, okay? That child is well-behaved and obedient. You will definitely like her."

Wang Yanqing looked at Xu Miaoyin. He felt that he could not persuade this granddaughter, and he felt a lot of sadness and helplessness in his heart. "Miaomiao, I hope you will not regret today's decision in the future. You can go back, I am tired." !”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and slowly walked out of the study.

Xu Miaoyin looked at her grandfather's rickety body and felt pain in her heart. She came today just to take a good look at his old man.

Xu Miaoyin was very calm on the way back. She was so calm that Xiao Qi looked at her frequently. He knew that she was not what she seemed, otherwise she would not have driven herself crazy back then.

When such thoughts came up, Xiao Qi became worried and wanted to hold her hand. Just as he was about to say something to comfort her, he saw her leaning towards him, breathing rapidly, and cold sweat began to break out on her forehead.

Xiao Qi was startled. He hurriedly said to Qin Zhan who was driving: "Hurry up and ask the secret guard to send the imperial doctor to the Chen Mansion."

Qin Zhan looked stern, swung the whip in his hand vigorously, and the carriage sped towards Chen's mansion.
