Chapter 40 Standing Up
It can be said that the title of Duke of Ji was fought for by Old Master Chen and Old Lady Chen together. When the late emperor was alive, he was very respectful to this old lady. Emperor Jing of Wei also let the Chen family go once for the sake of the old lady.
Ling Luojin is indeed not qualified to open Old Lady Chen's coffin.
The crowd made way for Zhu Yi, who appeared with Yan Qing pushing him. Yan Qing looked at Chen's father and said, "Commander Ling doesn't have the qualifications, so does this prince have the qualifications?"
Father Chen didn't expect that Yanqing would show up: "Prince Yan, can you allow others to open the coffin of your elders when they die in the future? Ask the people around you, who would want their elders to not be able to rest in peace after death?"
The people around him also started talking, accusing Yan Qing of being inhumane.
"The traitors of Huguo Temple are hiding in the capital, and the Shenjiying is just following orders to arrest them. Think about the thousands of corpses of Huguo Temple, aren't they worth the corpse of an old lady from your Chen family?"
Some people even shuddered when they thought of the tragedy that took place in Huguo Temple. If there really were remnants of the Huguo Temple hiding in the capital, it seemed reasonable to open the coffins and investigate.
The opposing voices around them all disappeared. Father Chen and Chen Yue's faces darkened, and they blocked the coffin behind them calmly: "No one of you can touch the old lady's coffin today, unless you step over the bodies of our Chen family members."
"Stop them and open the coffin!" Chen Yanqing gave an order, and the soldiers immediately came up and pulled away the people guarding the coffin. Chen's father shouted loudly: "You are disrespectful to the deceased. Sooner or later, you will be struck by lightning and die young."
From the fact that the people of Dayu have such faith in the Huguo Temple, we can see that they have great trust in the belief in gods and Buddhas.
Although the crimes of Huguo Temple have been exposed, the faith that is deeply rooted in their bones cannot be changed overnight.
So even though the Chen family members were dragged away, no one dared to touch the coffin. Ling Luojin didn't care about that and went straight up to push the coffin.
"Commander Ling, please step down." Yan Qing suddenly spoke. Even if he was cursed to die young, he should not let Commander Ling take action. "This prince will come in person."
"Young Master." Ling Luojin called out anxiously.
Chen Yue taunted, "How can a useless person like you push the coffin lid?"
Xiao Yanqing ignored him, supported herself on the armrests on both sides of the wheelchair with her hands, and slowly stood up from the wheelchair.
Everyone looked at Yan Qing in disbelief, while he walked towards the coffin, step by step.
Every step was difficult, as if walking on the edge of a knife. Because of his unstable body, he almost fell down.
Zhu Yi wanted to go forward and help 䀱䋀言清, but was pushed away by 䀱䋀言清: "All of you are not allowed to interfere."
It's up to you to bear the consequences, and you will never drag others down.
No one moved. Even Chen's father and Chen Yue were shocked. They couldn't believe that Chen Yanqing actually stood up.
The road was not long, but it took Yan Qing a long time. By the time he reached the coffin, a layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.
Placing his hand on the side of the coffin, Yan Qing used his inner strength to push open the sealed coffin lid.
At this moment, there was a sense of powerlessness and despair in Chen's father and Chen Yue's eyes. After all, they were unable to stop it.
