Chapter 81 She Hit the Emperor
What Xu Yu cared most about was burying Fu Danjun. Accidental death was unfortunate enough.
Isn’t it a tragedy that the body cannot be buried?
Moreover, Fu Danjun is not from Luoyang, so the body needs to be embalmed and transported back to the south.
So, she came over and tried to persuade Xie Changsheng: "Your behavior will only make your sister's soul restless."
Xie Changsheng immediately turned his face black and scolded her: "You are the one who is restless, get out!"
Xu Yu understood his grief and said patiently, "Your Majesty, accept the reality. Even an ordinary woman like me has to endure grief, let alone you, the king of a country."
Xie Changsheng said nothing and continued to wait for Fu Danjun to wake up.
Xu Yu wanted to persuade him again, but was forcibly pulled away by Lu Yu: "You have angered the emperor and caused everyone to be scolded together. Why bother?"
Xu Yu couldn't help but feel surprised and angry: "Are we going to let the emperor go crazy? Are we going to deal with my sister's body too? You really are a heartless beast with a black heart!"
Lu Yu was scolded and said angrily: "You are not heartless! Go and persuade him! It's up to you!"
After saying that, he turned away.
Xu Yu sighed and was thinking about how to convince Xie Changsheng.
Then there was a loud thunder and it looked like it was going to rain.
"It's going to rain, I can't let my sister get wet."
She wanted to take this opportunity to make Xie Changsheng wake up, but Xie Changsheng took off his outer cover and covered Fu Danjun's head, face and body.
Then he sat there as usual, letting the raindrops hit his back and soak it.
Xu Yu ran to the inn and got an umbrella, hat, raincoat and other items to help him shelter from the rain.
From day to night, it was the next afternoon.
Seeing Xie Changsheng still sitting there, Xu Yu ran to the inn to mobilize the crowd.
Since I couldn't persuade the emperor, I thought there would be strength in numbers.
The common people and travelers staying in the hotel rushed over and urged them to put the body into the coffin quickly.
Xie Changsheng was annoyed by the noise, so he picked up Fu Danjun and moved to another place to continue guarding.
Everyone apologized to Xu Yu and said goodbye, saying that this person had gone completely crazy.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Xie Changsheng collapsed to the ground after not eating or drinking for a long time.
Xu Yu fed him water and rice porridge to wake him up.
His first words were: "Go away and leave me alone!"
Xu Yu couldn't stand it anymore and threw the kettle to the ground: "You coward! Don't you even have the courage to face reality? My sister's body will rot at this rate! Wake up!"
Xie Changsheng remained silent, and Xu Yu pounded him: "Did you hear that? You lunatic!"
Xie Changsheng did not resist at all and let Xu Yu beat and scold him.
Then he suddenly jumped up as if realizing something: "That's right, Luoyang is not her home!"
Xu Yu was stunned for a long while, and suddenly burst into tears: "Amitabha, you woke up!"
Xie Changsheng picked up Fu Danjun and said, "Kyoto is her home!"
Xu Yu was stunned again: "What Kyoto? Isn't it Jiangnan?"
Xie Changsheng stubbornly argued: "It's Kyoto!"
Xu Yu covered her face and started crying again: "Oh my God! What should I do?"
Then, she chased after Xie Changsheng and cried, "My sister still has family in Jiangnan. You have to notify them! Don't you have to bury her even if you send her back to Kyoto? You might as well return her to her family."
Xie Changsheng stopped abruptly, paused for a moment, and then walked away.
Of course, at night, Xie Changsheng put Fu Danjun on the bed.
The two slept together all night, and the next morning he summoned his subordinates and ordered, "Take her back to Jiangnan!"
After learning about this, Xu Yu finally stopped crying and personally bought a coffin to bury Fu Danjun.
As she watched the coffin lid close, she cried again until she died: "Sister Fu, I never thought we would say goodbye forever. I can't accept this. I'm in so much pain."
However, Fu Danjun's coffin was eventually taken away by a carriage.
Xu Yu wanted to follow him to Jiangnan, but he was worried about the letters from his parents.
Finally, I thought of dealing with my parents' affairs first, and then going to Jiangnan on the anniversary of Sister Fu's death.
At the same time, she was also worried about Xie Changsheng's condition.
Didn't Xie Changsheng deny that Fu Danjun was dead? Why did he suddenly come to his senses?
Xu Yu knew that Xie Changsheng had a strange personality and was really afraid that he would do something crazy and stupid.
As a result, Xie Changsheng had no problems at all.
He went to the dam to direct the operation in a trembling state, as if he had forgotten the existence of Fu Danjun.
But when I came back at night, I just lay on the bed and stared blankly.
Xu Yu advised, "Everyone will die one day, but Sister Fu's fate is shallow. We might die suddenly one day too. Anything is possible."
Xie Changsheng didn't respond, so Xu Yu tried to feed him a few more bowls of water. "You are the ruler of a country. You must not waste your dragon body. The people are still counting on you."
After a long while, Xie Changsheng closed his eyes and sighed, "I am destined to be a lonely man."
Xu Yu's heart was deeply hurt, and she discovered Xie Changsheng's affectionate side.
He didn't shed tears, but he was more heartbroken than if he had cried.
The next day, he still arrived at the riverbank early to supervise the work.
Wang Kang carried Xie Changsheng's oral instructions and transported Fu Danjun's coffin back to Jiangnan.
The other two subordinates rode fast horses to the Fu family to report the death because the family needed to make preparations.
The two elders of the Fu family, Fu Yi and Jiang Zhixian, fainted from tears when they heard the news.
Then Fu Xiaoshan and Cui heard about it and cried bitterly.
They couldn't understand how Fu Danjun could have fallen into the sea and drowned. Fu Danjun had such strong vitality and was an excellent swimmer, so how could she have drowned?
Fu Xiaoshan lost his mind and contradicted the person who brought the news: "There must be a ghost! I don't believe my sister drowned! It's impossible!"
The messenger was arrogant and pretentious: "We are delivering the Emperor's oral order. How dare you forge it? It wasn't drowned, but was it the Emperor who killed him?"
Fu Yi quickly kowtowed and admitted his mistake: "My son spoke without thinking, please don't be offended."
After saying this, he immediately said to his wife, "Why don't you prepare a banquet to entertain the two officials?"
Jiang Zhi suppressed her grief and got busy, treating her subordinates to a good meal and giving them enough money.
Three days later, Fu Danjun's coffin was brought back.
The Fu family has set up a mourning hall and hung elegiac couplets.
Relatives and friends from all around also came to pay their respects, and everyone was crying.
Fu Xiaoshan insisted on opening the coffin to see the body, so Wang Kang asked someone to open it.
The family looked at Fu Danjun, whose face was pale, and had to accept the tragic reality.
Wang Kang delivered the emperor's message, and the Fu family knelt to listen. "Mr. Dan of the Fu family, we have been friends ever since we became friends. However, as fate would have it, Mr. Fu accidentally fell into the sea and died while building a dam with me. I feel deeply guilty, but he is gone, and there is nothing I can do. I hope the Fu family will mourn your loss. I will come to pay my respects in person someday. I decree this."
Now that things have come to this, what else can the Fu family say except thanking the Lord for his grace?
Cui had a deep affection for her sister-in-law, and she was crying so hard that she needed a maid to support her.
Seeing that the two elders were about to give up, Fu Xiaoshan had to grit his teeth and cheer up.
Wang Kang said, "According to the Emperor's order, I must see Mrs. Fu buried before I can leave, so the mausoleum should not be kept for too long."
