Chapter 122: We will always be together, right?

Qin Yuxiao strode in and said, "This king agrees."

Several people raised their heads cautiously and glanced at Qin Yuxiao secretly.

Qin Yuxiao smiled faintly and said, "I agree. Do you have any other questions?"

Compared to the endless argument just now, now there is real silence.

After a long while, someone finally spoke up, "Then, Your Majesty, when is the right time to start offering sacrifices to heaven and earth?"

"Anytime." Qin Yuxiao said.

Before the man could breathe a sigh of relief, Qin Yuxiao changed the subject and said, "However, although I don't mind this matter, I don't know whether Fu'er minds or not."

"What do you mean, Your Majesty? Are you saying that the Crown Prince might not agree?"

"I don't know what I said. For details, please ask the adults in person."

Everyone present stared at each other for a long while, and each of them saw a trace of confusion in each other's eyes.

…

"Huh? Why are there so many people at the door today?"

Today is Uncle Xing's seventh day after his death. Early in the morning, Chu Ran took Jin Yuan and Jin Bao out to buy things.

When I went out, the entrance was still empty. I didn't expect that when I came back, I saw so many people crowded at the entrance.

After all, he had been in the palace for so many years, and many people looked familiar to Chu Ran. Chu Ran recognized that many of them were high-ranking officials and veteran ministers in the court.

"Look at you, I asked you to pass a message, but you were so reluctant. What's wrong with passing a message? It's about national affairs, isn't it more important than your own affairs?"

"My Lords, it's not that I am unwilling to pass on your message. Today, my family is holding a funeral, and the prince has previously instructed that no one except those who come to pay their respects will be allowed in."

"Okay, okay! Then let's pay our respects! It's all right to pay our respects! We are here to pay our respects, please let us in!"

"no."

"Why is it not working again?! Didn't you just say it was OK?!"

"You have to bring something to pay your respects, right? You all have nothing in your hands. It's obvious that you are not here to pay your respects sincerely..."

"Then let's go back and get the things! Let's go, let's go back and get the things!"

"Hey! That's not what I meant! You guys... Hey!"

After a while, all the people crowding at the door dispersed. Only after everyone had left did Chu Ran get out of the carriage.

"You're back!"

The servant guarding the door just now smiled when he saw Chu Ran, "You bought so many things! I'll help you with them!"

Jin Yuan and Jin Bao were already full, but Chu Ran was not so bad. Although his hands were not full, he still had a lot of things. When the servant came to get the things, Chu Ran only left a pot of wine and gave the other things to the servant, "Take it and go to the kitchen to deal with it first."

He then said to Jin Yuan and Jin Bao who were standing beside him, "Thank you two for your hard work. Go and deliver the things too."

Chu Ran was so polite and easy-going to everyone, including Jin Yuan and Jin Bao. The two felt a little embarrassed, but they were not very good at speaking, so they smiled shyly and quickly followed him.

Chu Ran lowered his head, lowered his sleeves that had been rolled up to his elbows as he walked, and went straight to the mourning hall.

The coffin was placed in the center of the mourning hall. Li Fu, dressed in white mourning clothes, was kneeling on a mat and throwing paper money into the brazier alone.

He was clearly a broad, solid young man who should be full of vigor and vitality, but Chu Ran saw some loneliness, sadness and grief in Li Fu.

Chu Ran stood at the door for a while before walking in.

He knelt down beside Li Fu, who turned his head to look at him and asked in a normal tone, "Are you back? What did you buy?"

"I bought some of Uncle Xing's favorite foods and some wine. I don't know what kind of wine Uncle Xing likes to drink, but every time he comes to see me, he will bring me Qiulubai, maybe because he knows that's my favorite."

"So guess what I brought with me?"

Li Fu cooperated and asked, "What?"

"Of course it's the autumn dew."

As Chu Ran spoke, he took out Qiu Lubai who was hidden behind him and put it on the ground with a slight smile on his face.

"And a cup."

Afterwards, Chu Ran reached into his collar again, fumbled around for a while, and like a magic trick, he pulled out three wine glasses and filled them all.

Li Fu had one cup, Chu Ran had one cup, and there was another cup for Uncle Xing.

"Come to think of it, it's been a long time since we sat down and had a drink together."

It has indeed been a long time since the three of them last got together. Ever since they met, they have been apart more often than together. It is always that one of them is missing or that one is missing. It is rare for them all to get together.

Chu Ran sat down cross-legged, took a sip of wine, thought for a moment, and said, "Uncle Xing is the most capable person I have ever met, although he always makes his clothes very big, like he is wearing a sack."

Speaking of this, Chu Ran couldn't help but laugh.

If you think about it carefully, the person who has accompanied Chu Ran the most over the years is not Li Fu, nor anyone else, but Uncle Xing.

Uncle Xing is not a servant, he is a relative, a common relative of both Chu Ran and Li Fu.

Talking about these, Chu Ran still felt sad. He sniffed, then raised the glass and took a sip of wine as if to cover up his emotion, thus easing his mood.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this!"

Let’s drink!

Chu Ran drank several glasses of wine in a row, but he drank too fast and the spicy wine choked his throat. Chu Ran coughed repeatedly and tears came out.

Li Fu reached out and patted Chu Ran on the back.

Chu Ran finally came to his senses. He suddenly thought of what happened outside the door just now, and said, "Just now I saw a lot of people crowding at the door. What are they going to do?"

Li Fu said: "Emperor Chengwen is seriously ill, Li Dingning has escaped again, and they want me to take charge of the situation."

"Oh." Chu Ran lifted his sleeves and wiped his mouth, his eyes watery, "Then what is your role in presiding over the overall situation?"

Li Fu's lips moved slightly, and after a while, he said, "The identity of the prince."

"That's a good thing!"

Li Fu said that his ultimate goal was to seek revenge and take back what belonged to him. Is this situation still far from Li Fu's ultimate goal?

But what Chu Ran couldn't understand was, "Why don't you meet them?"

"I want to take care of Uncle Xing's funeral first, and then deal with other things."

"Yeah." Chu Ran nodded.

"In addition, to restore my status as a prince, I need to offer sacrifices to the heavens and acknowledge my ancestors, and be included in the imperial genealogy. Even if I am included in the imperial genealogy, I should not be the son of Emperor Chengwen."

"You want to..."

"I want to tell everyone in the world how Emperor Chengwen took the throne from my father. I want everyone in the world to know that Emperor Chengwen is the real traitor and thief!"

Li Fu spoke every word slowly and calmly, but Chu Ran could still hear the sound of thunder and lightning.

At that moment, Chu Ran finally realized that the hatred that had been buried in Li Fu's heart for many years had turned into a firm and indestructible belief. This kind of belief was something that an ordinary person like Chu Ran could not possess, which was why he was so shocked and moved.

"I will do it." Chu Ran said confidently: "Everything you want to do, I will definitely be able to do it."

Others may not be able to do it, but Li Fu can definitely do it.

There is no reason, Chu Ran just believes it so firmly.

Because Li Fu is unusual and extraordinary, he can definitely do what he wants to do.

Li Fu smiled lightly and raised his hand to touch Chu Ran's earlobe. Chu Ran's earlobe was icy when he first touched it, but as Li Fu rubbed it back and forth, it gradually became hot.

Chu Ran turned his head to the side, blushing and said, "What are you doing? Stop touching me. Hey, don't touch me..."

"Okay, no more touching."

Li Fu pulled his hand back at the right time to prevent Chu Ran from getting angry if he touched her too much.

So he needs to know when to stop.

After Li Fu's hand stopped playing tricks, the redness on Chu Ran's face and ears gradually faded. Chu Ran hesitated for a while, but still asked with some lack of confidence: "So you think I'm ordinary?"

"Why are you asking this suddenly?" Li Fu smiled.

Chu Ran felt that his little thoughts seemed to be seen through by Li Fu, and he felt even more ashamed and embarrassed. He lowered his head and whispered:

"Nothing, just a casual question. If you don't want to answer, forget it."

"Chu Qinglin is indeed very ordinary." Li Fu said, "But Chu Ran is not ordinary at all. There is only one Chu Ran in this world."

The heat that had finally faded away rose from his cheeks again. Chu Ran was like a bun placed in a cage. His whole body was full of heat and seemed to be still emitting steam.

He was just asking casually, why did Li Fu take it so seriously? It made him feel embarrassed.

But Chu Ran didn't notice that Li Fu fell into silence for a long time after he said this. The silence lasted even longer than the time Chu Ran was shy.

"Chu Ran." Li Fu suddenly called Chu Ran in a low voice. Chu Ran looked up blankly. Li Fu's Adam's apple moved. It was not known whether it was Chu Ran's illusion. Li Fu's expression seemed to reveal an inexplicable uneasiness. "We will always be together, right?"
