late night song

Chapter 130 The sound of national mourning
Just in the early morning of the third day after Gu Yuchu got drunk, the national memorial bell rang through the sky, and the whole Hehe was suddenly shrouded in gloom.

When Lejia passed away, he announced to the world that his only son, Lejia Pengkang, would be the successor to the throne. The Grand Sima Ouyang Qunfang assisted in the administration.

In addition, there was an intriguing posthumous edict that made He and his people talk a lot.

The posthumous edict stated that his uncle Lejia Junhui was harmed by a traitor and committed wrongdoings. The ancestors of Lejia were uneasy because of this, and were the spirits of Anzu. Lejia Junhui was still of Lejia bloodline, and he was remembered as a deceased soul. Nowhere, he and his heirs were pardoned for their sins, and their spiritual place was allowed to be included in the royal ancestral hall.

The new king ascended the throne, and the enthronement ceremony was held seven days after the national mourning. Dongqi and Beiling also sent envoys to send condolence messages.

Lejia Pengkang, wearing clothes and wearing filial piety, personally kept vigil for the late emperor and promised to keep the mourning period for three years. At the same time, he issued an edict prohibiting alcohol and prostitution for three months. The whole country observed a moment of silence to support the late emperor's spirit.

The country's ban, Chenglu Street was the epitome of the wind and moon in the Hehe country, and it was naturally the first to bear the brunt. The large and small flower buildings were closed when they should be closed, and the colorful silks were removed, and the red lights were replaced by white candles. Even the originally bright night lights in Huai'en County The glow now suddenly withered into disarray.

Juan Niang didn't care at all about this. Every family was like this, so she just wanted to rest for a while.

Human memory is as fragile as a candle. The sun still rises. Who will remember the desolation of last night?

When Gu Yuchu heard the news of the national mourning, she didn't even take it seriously. After she woke up from Xiao Ling's room, she didn't have a trace of surprise, let alone a question, as if nothing had happened, and then the person disappeared.

Before leaving, she told Juan Niang that she wanted to see Ling Ziyu in ten days.

Ten days later, Gu Yuchu came back on time, but she was even more depressed than before she left. However, she didn't drink anymore, and she didn't talk much. She just liked to sleep during the day and stay alone on the roof to watch the stars at night.

In the past few days, she has torn through the notes given to her by Lejia Huanyu, which contained all the secrets about her mother, from the birth of Princess Hehe and Princess Lejia Quyang with a jade certificate in her mouth to the exiled and homeless girl. The business lady Gu Ying, from the disciple of Kanmen who was selected to train in Sanxing Academy to the noblewoman who married into the high family of Yuchi in Dongqi, all her status has been recorded in detail, including the births of her and Jing Heng.But only the three-year gap between the name change and enrollment was just an understatement: "raised in a boudoir."

Gu Yuchu was unable to answer all the questions, so he had to sneak into the archives of Yuquan Palace secretly, look up the files of Le Jiajunhui's rebellion case, and then went back to Sanxing Academy to inquire about the records of "Kanmen" disciples. The records all correspond to those recorded in that booklet.

If these were not enough to convince her, then the portraits of her mother as a child and as an adult in the excerpt made her unable to deny it.

She smiled bitterly, thinking that she was such a poor child. She was obviously not so curious, but there were so many secrets trying to break into her life.

Juan Niang didn't know when she went up to the rooftop with a wine bottle. "I knew you were here."

She sat down next to Gu Yuchu, handed her a silver pot, and said, "You've almost drank all the wine in the cellar. Fortunately, I hid some fruit wine in the house, which gave you an advantage."

"Thank you." Gu Yuchu smiled, took the flask and took a big sip.

"Drink slowly. It's really a waste if you drink such a good wine hastily." Juan Niang's tone was still gentle.

Gu Yuchu took another sip, licked his tongue obediently, and commented: "The taste is quite good."

"This is the right thing. Wine should be tasted slowly, and people should live a plain life."

Gu Yuchu was silent. She understood the meaning of these words, but the truth was easy to understand. Who didn't want to live a peaceful and happy life, but what if fate refused to let her go?
"I don't know what happened to you, but if the rain falls or the sun shines, spring comes and autumn comes, it won't change at all because of your sadness. Why are you so persistent?"

"Mother Juan, I thought that if I kept walking forward, I would be bathed in the morning sun forever, but I would also get tired. When I stopped, I found that everything behind me was darkness. It was running and trying to devour me, and I There is no escape." "Then why turn back?"

Gu Yuchu choked, yes, why do you want to look back?I have never experienced any grudges in the past, and I cannot choose my life experience.So why look back?

"It's not that the darkness behind you wants to swallow you, but that you are afraid of being swallowed by the darkness, isn't it?" Juan Niang patted the back of her hand gently, as if to comfort and remind her.

"What good ideas does Juan have for this?" Gu Yuchu looked at her expectantly.

"I think if you're honest, the past won't be able to hurt you anymore. You just have to know where to go."

"But I don't know where to go." Gu Yuchu raised his head and took a sip of fruit wine, facing the stars in the sky and said dejectedly.

"How could it be? I like to go to the mountains quietly, and I like to go to the bustling city. The world is so big, there is always a place you want to go."

"But I don't know what I like." She shook her shoulders in embarrassment.Indeed, apart from her unspeakable feelings for Qi Zhi, her mission to protect her sister, and her determination to find her brother, she really has nothing else.

"Hey, I think you just like to stay in Suo Xing Palace. Why don't you put on some makeup and powder and earn money for Mom? Mom, I guarantee that you will be happy and drink spicy food for the rest of your life." Juan Niang crossed her arms. The waist is said to be arrogant.

Gu Yuchu finally couldn't help but laugh, and his gloomy mood was swept away.It turned out that she had forgotten that she still had friends. Although they belonged to different countries and different camps, before the moment when they had to make a choice, they all treated her sincerely and treated her sincerely. Isn't that enough?

"Okay, but I won't do it if you don't want to be an oiran." She imitated Sonny and smoothed her hair.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, little girl, you can hide it so well." Juan Niang picked up Gu Yuchu's chin with her fingers and said, and then the two of them burst out laughing.

"Okay, let's get down to business. I've delivered the message you asked me to deliver. My Highness will be here tomorrow."

"Thank you, Juan Niang."

"Why are you so polite? Who made you my girl?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

"Don't be alone in your mind if something happens in the future, if you are willing to trust the three of us." Juan Niang paused, "Although you and our identities are a bit... awkward, it doesn't prevent us from becoming friends, right? "

"Yes." Gu Yuchu nodded excitedly, which really spoke her mind.

"We have stories and wine. We don't mention that the days ahead are long. We just want a moment of freedom." Juan Niang is also a person with a bold temperament, so she drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"it is good!"

The two clapped their hands and swore together.
