"Why don't I go there myself?" When Huo Jincheng learned that Old Man Song was going to be sent back to his hometown for burial, he volunteered to go.
"Brother," Xu Dali said hurriedly, "We still have people in the inn. You and your wife are of noble status. I'm afraid that the bastard prince of Yue Country will be a little apprehensive about you being here. It's best for you to stay."
Jian Ning also wanted Tong Bajin to go. She said, "We also need to buy clothes for the burial. We need to leave quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to change clothes when our hands and feet are stiff. It's better for Brother Tong to accompany Qinglian. We will go back to the inn to rest and come here to wait for them tomorrow."
Qinglian wanted to say something but stopped herself.
Jian Ning said: "Just say whatever you want to say."
Qinglian looked at Old Man Song, who lay there peacefully. Her eyes fell on his blood-stained clothes. She said softly, "The clothes Daddy is wearing were prepared for him two years ago. They are his favorite. He put them on when we moved out today."
"You want your father to leave wearing this outfit, right?" Jane Ning asked.
Qinglian nodded and said, "Hmm." Old Man Song was her uncle from the same clan. Her family had all died when the Yuebing Iron Cavalry razed the Shanbei Kingdom. It was Old Man Song who saved her and took her on the run until now.
For more than ten years, she has been traveling around the country with Old Man Song and has no fixed place to live. She knows very well that although she and Old Man Song said that they poisoned Ma Lao out of gratitude, in fact, they were more desperate about life.
Last year, Old Man Song suddenly decided to return to his hometown. After wandering around for a long time, he would always return to his roots. If he hadn't met Jian Ning and the others this time, the father and daughter would have sung in Yue Country for a while to save up some money and would have returned to the land where they were born and raised!
Although the land had long since changed hands and became a city in the Moon Kingdom, every mountain and stone there would not change, and it was still their long-cherished homeland.
"Then it's up to you. I've wiped my body clean, so you can wear this set of clothes. You guys go now, the sooner you go, the sooner you come back. We'll set off to go back when you come back." Jian Ning had already wiped Old Man Song's whole body with cotton wool when he was sewing up his body, so there was no need to wash it again.
She was a doctor and had prepared the remains and cleaned the bodies of male special police officers who had died when she was in the special police team. She spoke so calmly that Huo Jincheng and Tong Xu were shocked when they heard it.
Tong Bajin and Xu Dali both felt that their wives were truly amazing. They didn't know how to describe the shock in their hearts, but they felt that the breadth of mind and courage of their wives were rare among men in the world!
Huo Jincheng glanced at Jian Ning calmly, but he was thinking of Ding Youtian. He was a little curious about what Ding Youtian would think if he knew she had done such a thing?
After Tong Bajin and Qinglian took Old Man Song and rode off on Brother Qiu, Jian Ning returned Zi Gu and said goodbye to Mi Li and her grandmother. On the way back to the inn with Huo Jincheng and Xu Dali, Huo Jincheng couldn't help but ask her, "Did you really wipe his body?"
"What do you want to say?" Jian Ning glared at him.
Huo Jincheng looked up at the bright moonlight overhead, and as if struck by emotion, he said, "The world is so vast, but there's only one moon. No matter where you are, as long as you look up, it's always hanging above you. Isn't that amazing?"
Without waiting for Jian Ning to respond, he continued, "I wonder if Brother Ding is also standing in the courtyard right now, looking up at the full moon."
Jane Ning knew he was holding back his fart. "If you're curious, go back and ask him. He'll tell you what you want to know. Just go ahead and ask him."
Even if Huo Jincheng told Ding Youtian, Jian Ning would not be afraid. Ding Youtian knew that all the gynecologists in her previous time and space were men. Although he did not understand, after the couple had lived together for several years, he often pestered her to talk about things in that time and space, and gradually she became more accepting. Even if he subjectively did not support her treating patients equally, he would still decide based on the specific situation.
"Don't worry, I'm not that free." Huo Jincheng glanced at her.
"You'd better find out. I need to worry before I can feel at ease. Do you think he's the same as you? How about you go back and ask him in person?"
"What are you two talking about?" Xu Dali didn't understand what they meant, but he knew that Ding Youtian would take a walk in the yard when he got tired of reading at night, looking at the stars and the moon. So he smiled and said, "Who knows, our adults might be looking at the moon right now, haha."
Jian Ning raised his eyebrows: "Yes, maybe he is watching, you two really are a pair of brothers!"
Xu Dali was inexplicably scolded and was a little confused, but they had been with Ding Youtian for a long time and were used to seeing his wife scolding Ding Youtian every day, whether she was happy or angry. Anyway, there was no ill intention, so they were used to it.
Unless there was a national mourning or other major events in Yue Kingdom, there was no curfew at night and no army patrolling the streets. Jian Ning and the others returned to the inn and looked around. Seeing nothing unusual, Xu Dali went forward and knocked on the door.
Jian Ning didn't know that Pei Zhe had originally planned to come to the inn to cause trouble, but was stopped by his father, the Great Prince. The Prince of Yue also had his own staff at his residence, and the Great Prince hadn't realized the situation at first. After being reminded by his staff, the failure to hand over the Green Lotus in time after the first order was issued had left a thorn in Pei Xiyuan's heart.
The eldest prince had always valued only the wizards and warriors within his palace, as well as the capable wielders from the Central Plains, and paid less attention to his own staff. Back during the struggle for the throne, when he heard that Pei Xiyuan had brought back a dwarfed old man from the Dirong Kingdom as his advisor, he had not only ignored the matter but had even ridiculed Pei Xiyuan, mocking him for hoping to turn the tide with the eloquence of an old man. It was nothing but a pipe dream.
Later, I heard that the skinny old man had hardly left the house most of the time since he came to Pei Xiyuan's house. When he went out occasionally, he would eat and drink with Pei Xiyuan in Shangjing City and hang out everywhere. He even said that Pei Xiyuan might have invited back a liar who was just eating and drinking for free.
As a result, he was severely slapped in the face a few months later. He didn't know what tricks the old man used, but he was summoned into the palace and caught the late emperor's eye again. As a result, the public opinion in the court also changed. Several important ministers who originally supported him turned to Pei Xiyuan as if they had agreed, which left him puzzled.
It was not until today when Ma Lao and others came to his house and asked him about it that he found out that the unremarkable old man was actually Nanyangzi who helped Emperor Yongping to conquer the five kingdoms and unify the Central Plains again!
Pei Xiyuan's ability to invite the Southern Prime Minister was a symbol of extraordinary ability in the eyes of the late emperor and other civil and military officials of the Yue Kingdom!
Ever since he lost the throne, the prince has reflected deeply on his mistakes and has gradually begun to pay attention to the opinions of his staff.
The eldest prince did not give up the throne of the emperor. His eyes were not only fixed on the dragon throne of the Yue Kingdom, but also on the supreme throne of the Central Plains across thousands of mountains and rivers!
Striving for the Central Plains can be said to be the basic national policy of the Yue Kingdom, and it is the grand ambition that the kings of the Yue Kingdom have regarded as their own responsibility!
Right now, it was not the time to confront Pei Xiyuan, who had already ascended to the throne. The prince had to restrain Pei Zhe. Otherwise, the inn where Jian Ning and the others were staying would have been set up with a net waiting for them to slip through.
