As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 185 Death
Hongxiu frowned and felt bored, and immediately asked the maid behind him to rush in.

Soon, Mrs. Dou was tied into a rice dumpling, with rags stuffed into her mouth, and she could no longer make a sound.

There are now about a dozen servants inside and outside Yilan Garden.

Except for the Dou family's personal maid who rushed forward and shouted and knelt down to beg for mercy, the rest of the family watched with cold eyes.

Hong Xiu said in a deep voice: "Madam is mentally disturbed, that's why she screams and screams in such an inappropriate manner. A doctor will come over later to help her see a doctor, so you can all take good care of her."

"Yes."

All the servants responded in a low voice and in unison.

Hong Xiu signaled the maidservant to carry the person to the room and put him down, then turned and left, returning to Wangyue Tower to report back to Xie Zhaozhao.

When Xie Zhaozhao heard the words, he just said "oh" and assumed he understood. Then he concentrated on putting on the delicate belt in his hand without even raising his head.

Since this day, Yilanyuan’s doctors and decoctions have not stopped.

But Dou's spirit has collapsed.

No matter what kind of soup or medicine, she would not drink it, and she would not touch the food that was brought in.

At the beginning, she could even loudly curse Xie Zhaozhao and Yu as sluts, saying that Xie Zhaozhao wanted to poison her.

Later, my body became weak, I lost my strength, and I became worse every day.

Xie Zhaozhao listened to the news reported there every day without looking very interested.

Xie Changyuan visited Xie Zhaozhao twice.

One time I happened to meet Hong Xiu talking about Dou's condition.

Although Xie Changyuan didn't hate his second wife as much as Xie Zhaozhao, he was still very resistant to what his second wife did. Now that they were doing it themselves, he just frowned.

On October [-]th, the clothes Xie Zhaozhao gave Yun Qi were finally ready.

Xie Zhaozhao asked people to find a delicate sandalwood box from the warehouse, and put the clothes neatly in it. Just as he was about to choose a crown to match, Hongxiu came in a hurry, "Miss, the second lady... is gone."

Xie Zhaozhao paused and looked at the half of the blue sky exposed through the window: "Then find someone to organize the funeral, and make it more grand."

"But Miss, Prince Liang is angry with the second young lady. I'm afraid he also hates our Xie Mansion. The second lady is the mother of the second young lady. If this funeral is too grand, it might cause the dissatisfaction of Prince Liang——"

"If you are dissatisfied, you will be dissatisfied." Xie Zhaozhao said: "The funeral was not solemn, and the King of Liang was not necessarily satisfied with the Xie family. What's more, I have my own intentions."

On the one hand, a grand funeral can fill up Xie Wei's heart with a lot of guilt for his second wife.

Secondly, when Dou was seriously ill, Xie Zhaozhao had already sent a letter to her natal family, and someone from the Dou family might come.

In recent years, the Dou family has used the Xie family to supplement the Dou family in Jiangnan, and the Dou family has also taken advantage of the Xie family in the Duke of Liang's mansion to gain prestige in the Jiangnan area.

This time it must be properly sorted out.

Even if the money cannot be settled, we must completely cut off all contact with these blood-sucking people to prevent the Xie family from being dragged down by them.

Hongxiu said "yes" and went to find someone to handle the matter carefully.

Bai Cou was quickly hung on the house and a mourning hall was set up.

Naturally, Xie Zhaozhao would not show mourning to Mrs. Dou, so he simply stayed in Wangyue Tower day after day on the grounds that he could not get up due to his injuries.

Funeral messages were also posted.

She ate and slept as usual every day, and also selected several crowns from the warehouse, thinking they all matched the clothes she prepared for Yun Qi.

During these days, Yun Qi was busy dealing with Liang Wang, so he didn't come over often.

But every day someone has to send something over.

Sometimes it’s the exquisite snowflakes and auspicious fruits from Qingfeng Tower, sometimes it’s the pastries and snacks nearby, sometimes it’s some novel gadgets, and I’ll also look for some foreign language books to relieve Xie Zhaozhao’s boredom.

However, Xie Zhaozhao is no longer willing to read the script.

After finishing Yun Qi's clothes, he just stared at the bronze figure Mr. Miao gave him and pricked it every day.On the second day of the funeral, Yun Qi came to Wangyue Tower in the evening.

In the winter, the cold wind was blowing, but Yun Qi was wearing an indigo autumn shirt with arrow sleeves. He only wore a navy blue cloak embroidered with flying eagles, leather boots, a sword on his waist, and a sword on his hand. Leather gloves.

The whole person exudes a sharp temperament from the inside out, which is actually a bit colder than the cold winter wind.

Xie Zhaozhao asked: "Are you back from the army?"

"Yes." Yun Qi nodded, "Xuanjia Army is training these days."

He is the emperor's eldest grandson and the commander-in-chief of the [-] Xuanjia Army in the Western Region.

In addition to court affairs, his own military affairs cannot be delayed at all. Generals must share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and the same is true during training.

Not to mention that every training subject is conducted together, but at least attendance at the inspection site is a must.

"How's it going?" Yun Qi handed the cloak and sword to Lin Ye, walked up and asked, "Are you busy? Do you want me to send someone over to help you deal with it?"

"Need not."

Xie Zhaozhao shook his head, knowing that he was asking about funeral matters: "All the servants in the house are here. The stewards will take care of these things, so I don't need to worry."

"That's good."

Yun Qi took off his leather gloves and threw them on the table. "If you have any difficulty, please tell me."

"Okay." Xie Zhaozhao responded, signaling Xianggui and the others to step back.

As soon as the maids retreated to the door, Yun Qi suddenly reached out, held Xie Zhaozhao's hands and smiled softly: "Won't you help me warm it?"

"..."

Xie Zhaozhao hissed softly due to the coldness of his hands, and heard the chuckles of Xianggui and Hongxiu outside. He glanced at Yun Qi angrily, "Forget it if you freeze to death."

However, even as she said this, her hand kept squeezing Yun Qi's big hand, "How long will the training last this time?"

"The training will not be until the new year, or the new year." Yun Qi said: "The Xuanjia Army is a steel sword. Even if it is temporarily stationed in the capital, it must be sharpened from time to time. Otherwise, the sword will be blunt in the future. It’s not easy to use.”

"Yes."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded, naturally understanding this truth.

She held Yun Qi's hand. After the two sat down, she let go of her previous hand and grabbed his other hand and squeezed it in her palm.

Yun Qi's lips curved, his eyes gentle: "My ears are cold."

"Oh."

Xie Zhaozhao raised his eyes and glanced at him, and his hands fell on Yun Qi's ears.

The smile on Yun Qi's lips became even wider, and he couldn't help but move forward to get close to him.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden pain in my ear.

Yun Qi hissed and looked at Xie Zhaozhao with a sigh: "Good sister, what are you doing? Your ears are going to be twisted off."

"Help you cover it." Xie Zhaozhao's expression did not change, and his two fingers gently roamed over Yun Qi's ears.

The temperature of her fingertips warmed Yunqi's ears, and she pinched the tips of his ears gently, "Behave."

"But I haven't seen you for a long time."

Yun Qi leaned a little closer and said warmly: "I miss you so much."

As he got closer, Xie Zhaozhao's sweet but not greasy, unknown smell hit his face, which made people's hearts tremble.

Xie Zhaozhao held his face and said, "Yeah, me too."
