Chapter 345 Finale 4
Qin Sheng lost his sense of time, and all he could think about was the lifeless person in his arms.
He held Chu Yian quietly and felt the door of the room open, as if someone walked in.
Then more people came in and tried to pull him away.
There was a lot of noise in his ears and he couldn't hear a word. He only knew that someone was trying to snatch the person in his arms away.
He hugged Chu Yian tightly almost madly, looked at the people who came in with red eyes, and didn't let anyone get close.
Like a mad lion, he guarded his lover's body, afraid that she would be hurt in the slightest.
Tao covered her mouth and started crying, tears falling in big drops, her whole body trembling: "How, how could this happen? Wasn't he fine yesterday? How could this happen..."
Qin Xinghuai hugged Tao with red eyes, looking at Chu Yian who had passed away and Qin Sheng who was holding her tightly and refused to let go, he could not understand what was going on.
Chu Yian has always been in good health and has not been sick in the past few years.
Even if you have a serious illness, there will be no signs at all, and you will die just like that.
Qin Rang looked at the scene in disbelief, turned his head to look at Qin Huaishu, with shock in his eyes.
Qin Huaishu's eyes were red, and it was obvious that he had not slept all night last night.
He gritted his teeth, suddenly raised his hand and pulled Qin Huaishu out, then punched him hard.
Qin Huaishu looked at the furious Qin Rang, lowered his eyelashes, and did not fight back.
Qin Rang grabbed his collar, his eyes fierce. "Don't you have anything to say? I noticed something was wrong with the three of you last night. It turns out you knew about her...she...ha, and kept it from me."
"So why exactly did it happen? Why would a good person just disappear like that?"
"You all know she's going to die. Why?"
Qin Huaishu pursed his lips, glanced inside the room, and then looked at the furious Qin Rang.
Chu Yian had already left, and it was okay to tell Qin Rang the secret that she had not dared to tell before.
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Huaishu said softly: "She... just went home."
Qin Rang was slightly stunned, a little puzzled: "Go home?"
Qin Huaishu hummed and threw him a question: "Have you ever thought about how such a simple woman like her could write a book like The Great Qin Empire?"
Qin Huaishu didn't say much, pried Qin Rang's hand open, and entered the house again.
Qin Rang is a very smart man. He had noticed something was wrong before, but he was just not sure.
Now give him some hints and he can figure it out on his own.
Compared to Qin Rang, Qin Sheng's condition is more worrying.
Looking at Qin Sheng who kept holding Chu Yian and refused to let go and did not let anyone get close to him, Qin Huaishu felt sad.
No matter how long he prepared, he could not adapt to Chu Yian's departure.
Promising her to live a good life was just to make her feel at ease.
Qin Sheng...I don’t know how long it will take for him to come out.
Maybe I can never get out of this again...
Chu Yian is gone, it's time to hold a funeral for her and let her rest in peace.
Qin Huaishu called everyone out and persuaded Qin Sheng in the room for a long time.
Qin Sheng didn't know how much he heard, but he couldn't continue speaking. He looked at Chu Yian's calm face with bloodshot eyes.
She is completely different when she is asleep and when she is awake. She is mischievous when she is awake, but looks very well-behaved when she is asleep.
Qin Huaishu couldn't help but recall the way she used to happily call him "baby".
It was so lively and seemed to be right in front of me, but it became unattainable so quickly yesterday.
Those beautiful memories that were left because of her have become out of reach, yet so far away.
It even becomes the knife that hurts people the most, but people are willing to accept it.
Only at this moment did Qin Huaishu have a real and profound understanding that from now on... he would never see her again.
Although Chu Yian said that she was just going home and not really dying.
But her lifeless body is right in front of him, and the other world is too unreal and far away. Who can really regard her as just going home?
Especially Qin Sheng...
A tear rolled down Qin Huaishu's eyes. Qin Sheng could let himself be immersed in sadness, but he was the prince of Zhenbei and the eldest son of the Qin family. He could not indulge himself too much at any time.
Even at this moment...
He stood up, patted Qin Sheng's shoulder, turned around and left without saying anything else.
Looking at the peach trees in the yard that are already as tall as a person, these were all planted by Qin Sheng himself.
But before she saw the entire Zhenbei Palace filled with her favorite peach blossoms, and before she had time to sit under the peach trees to drink and have fun, she left.
There are three thousand peach trees in the garden, but not a single one of them touches my heart...
It’s true for Qin Sheng, and it’s also true for him... isn’t it?
Qin Huaishu lowered his eyelashes, met the worried gazes of Qin Xinghuai and Tao, and curled his lips: "Announce the death..."
No matter how reluctant or unwilling you are, what else can you do?
Qin Xinghuai took a step forward: "Why?"
Tao's eyes were filled with tears. She could not accept that Chu Yian died suddenly without any illness or disaster.
Even if there was a reason, she could convince herself to accept it.
But she really couldn't accept the situation now.
The saddest thing in the world is to see the young die before the old. Tao really likes Chu Yian and doesn't just treat her as a daughter-in-law.
After living in the Qin family for several years, she was more like a daughter than a daughter-in-law, but now she is gone without even a reason.
Qin Huaishu didn't know how to explain to his parents, so he could only remain silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Xinghuai finally said, "Announce the death..."
The whole person seemed to have aged several years.
He took Tao out of the yard. Qin Huaishu looked behind him and left too.
The status and position of the Zhenbei Palace are extraordinary, and any movement is watched by many eyes.
Seeing that the Zhenbei Palace suddenly began to turn white, many people were really scared. They had never heard that Qin Xinghuai was sick, so how could he suddenly die?
After sending someone to inquire, they found out that the person who died was not Qin Xinghuai, but the third daughter-in-law of the Qin family who was only 20 years old.
As soon as the news came out, the whole city was in an uproar.
Countless people gathered at the gate of Zhenbei Palace and cried bitterly. Chu Yian was the patron saint of the people. Whenever the people suffered any grievances, they would talk to her.
She will help wherever she can.
In the hearts of the people, she is a powerful woman who is independent of the Qin family and has the same weight as the Qin family.
It was the god who protected them, with the softest and kindest heart in the world, who left everything to them.
Even the powerful and wealthy dared not provoke her.
But now, she is gone...
Before this, just these two days, they had clearly seen her wandering around the streets, talking to them in a friendly manner.
But when the heavy black coffin was carried into the Qin family's house, white was hung everywhere in the palace. Her death could not be faked...
The people knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, wishing they could exchange their lives for a few more years of her life.
The mourning hall has been set up. In order to provide a place for the people gathered at the door to pay their respects, starting from tomorrow, several hours will be set aside every day for the people to pay their respects and send her off for the last time.
In the end, Qin Sheng did not act recklessly and placed Chu Yian's body into the coffin with his own hands.
But in one day, he looked much more haggard, no longer looking energetic, and had lost the youthful vigor and spirit.
Night fell quietly. Looking at the crying Xiao Fu and the servants burning paper around them, he said in a hoarse voice: "Everyone go down."
Xiaofu didn't want to leave, she wanted to keep vigil for the young lady.
But she knew that Qin Sheng was sadder than her, so she hesitated and left with her servants, leaving the space to Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng walked to the coffin and placed his hands on it. His mind was so confused that he didn't know what he was thinking, what he should be thinking, or what he should do.
…
Qi Ze talked about state affairs with the emperor for a long time today. The emperor issued an order that they should not be disturbed unless it was a big deal.
It was not until it was completely dark and the door of the imperial study opened that Eunuch Lai Fu knelt hurriedly in front of the two men.
Without waiting for the emperor to reprimand him, he said in a pained voice: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, this is not good."
"Mrs. Qin Sanshao, she, she... is gone."
Qi Ze's brain short-circuited for a moment, and he didn't understand what this meant for a moment: "What did you say?"
Eunuch Lai Fu bent even lower, his voice tinged with tears, "Mrs. Qin San Shao has passed away. The Qin family has announced the death, and the Third Young Master's wife's body has been placed in the coffin..."
There was a loud bang in Qi Ze's head, and he took two steps back, almost losing his balance, his mind full of nonsense.
His face turned pale and he raised his foot to kick Lai Fu to tell him to stop talking nonsense, but the emperor stopped him.
Qi Ze's eyes were red: "Nonsense, you dare to curse her to death? She came to see me yesterday, how could it be possible..."
Before he could finish, Eunuch Lai Fu said loudly: "It's true, go and have a look."
Qi Ze almost lost his balance and was about to run when he was grabbed by the emperor.
Lai Fu would not lie to him with such words, otherwise he would have enough heads chopped off.
The emperor's face also looked very unhappy. He said, "Wait for me to change my clothes and then go with you."
Chu Yian is dead...
How could he die?
How could she die when she was in good health?
The emperor was full of questions. He quickly returned to his bedroom, changed his clothes, and went to the Qin family with Qi Ze.
They heard the cries of the people while they were still on the road. When they arrived at the gate of Zhenbei Palace, they saw that the whole house was covered with white papers. They both felt that they could not comfort themselves that the news was wrong.
He walked into the mansion and was led into the mourning hall by the servants. Looking at the dark coffin, Qi Ze's eyes turned red and tears fell bitterly.
How could he die?
Wasn't she yesterday...
wrong.
Realizing something, Qi Ze strode out the door and sternly asked the servant standing at the door: "Has Qin Sheng gone out?"
The servant shook his head: "Your Highness, no, he has been inside all the time."
Qi Ze returned to the mourning hall and looked around, but did not see Qin Sheng.
His eyes fell on the coffin, his head buzzed, and he strode to the coffin and reached out to push the coffin lid.
The emperor also realized something and rushed forward to help, shouting towards the door: "Someone come, come quickly."
The moment the servant rushed in, the coffin had already been opened.
Before they could get angry, they saw the emperor and Qi Ze both standing there in a daze, staring into the coffin, as if they couldn't believe what they saw.
Some servants hurried to inform the master of the Qin family. A few of them bravely went forward to look into the coffin. In an instant, everyone was stunned and turned pale with shock at the scene before them.
Qin Sheng was seen lying on his side in the coffin in a black robe, holding Chu Yian in one hand and burying his head in her neck.
This wasn't the most important thing. The most unacceptable thing was that his once black hair had turned completely white in just a few hours...
