When Duanmu Yulin saw the coffin, he actually rejected it in his heart.
But seeing Xun'er knocking here and there so seriously, he also went forward to help look.
To be honest, he would never have thought that Marquis Qi would hide things in the coffin.
This is really...
After searching outside and finding nothing, he crawled directly into the coffin and started throwing the things inside out.
Duanmu Yulin, who was hit, stood there in a daze, took off the pearl necklace on his head, confused as to what had just happened.
When he turned around, he saw a white figure moving back and forth in the coffin. He was silent for two seconds, lowered his head and continued searching.
He was a fearless person, but he was almost scared by Xun'er, and felt inexplicably ashamed.
Alas, you really can’t blame him, it’s a coffin after all.
Coffin?!
"Xun'er, come out quickly, that's unlucky." He didn't even pay attention to the excited call, and directly reached out to carry the person out.
How could a living person go to where the dead sleep? She was not a full-time worker in this field, and it was not her family members who needed a coffin. What if she encountered bad luck?
Xunmi was also confused. She blinked at her husband's words and replied reflexively, "But I've already slept with him."
She still crawled out from inside, so what's lucky or unlucky about it?
Duanmu Yulin: “…” I forgot that she came back to life from the coffin, haha.
After a pause, he spoke: "Xun'er, you have suffered. Those quack doctors have hurt you."
In his opinion, if the doctor had not made a mistake in diagnosis and said that a person who was not dead was dead, the subsequent events would not have happened.
Xunmi shook her head slightly, her face tinged with sadness. "It's my fault. If that scum Duanmu Lun hadn't threatened me, I wouldn't have banged my head against the pillar in my anger."
"I went into a brief period of shock and couldn't catch my breath. The doctor came at the wrong time to diagnose me, so they thought I was dead."
"If I had been calmer at that time, I wouldn't have... Although this is all self-deception, hehe..."
"How could that bastard let my father go? Even though I don't know why he wants to eradicate the Zhonghou Mansion, I understand one thing."
"Even if I hadn't been involved in the incident with the Zhonghou Mansion, that thing would still have found a way to bring it down. It's only a matter of time."
The tears at the corners of her eyes sank into her hair, leaving a faint mark.
The eyes, moistened by water, were a little hazy, but as clean as the finest obsidian, shining brightly.
Duanmu Yulin was bewitched and could not help but lower his head to kiss those beautiful and dazzling eyes, saying with cherishment and love, "I'm sorry."
He thought he knew the reason, so he put the person on his lap and slowly told his story.
"You know my identity, so you must also know something about my relationship with the Emperor."
Seeing the person in his arms nod, he continued, "The Emperor is my second brother. At that time, my mother was the Empress and was very favored by my father. When I was born, I was named the Crown Prince."
"But I was too young at that time, and some people were impatient and killed my mother."
"My father was so heartbroken that he forced himself to raise me. Needless to say, everyone wants to get rid of me."
"There's no other way. Father directly announced that the next crown prince will be the Second Prince. But after I come of age, the Second Prince must return the throne to me, unless I refuse."
"I didn't care about the throne, and I didn't agree with my father's actions, but I was only six years old at the time and had no power to influence anything."
"My second brother agreed readily, but as soon as he got the throne, he attacked my father and imprisoned me as well."
"He originally wanted to kill me, but he didn't expect that my father had a trick up his sleeve. If I died, the throne would pass to the other princes, from oldest to youngest."
"If all the princes die, the prince will inherit, so he has to support me and can't let me die."
"To be on the safe side, Father left three copies of the secret decree. Only one of them contained content, while the other two were blank, in order to confuse Second Brother."
"And this secret decree is proof that I will succeed to the throne. I have already seen the secret decree from the Prime Minister, and it is blank."
"He found another copy, but it should also be blank. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sped up his handling of those princes and nobles over the years."
Duanmu Yulin spoke calmly, with no expression on his face. Only his dim eyes told of his pain.
For that position, his loving mother died, his caring father died, and his brothers were killed one after another.
Over the years, he has been secretly building up his own power, and only now has he begun to have the ability to control the court and the army.
Xunmi hugged her husband distressedly. Although he spoke so lightly, she felt like crying.
How could she not have experienced the intrigues in the harem?
How much suffering does a prince who has no one to rely on and cannot be killed by the current emperor, but who also wishes to die all the time, have to endure? It cannot be described in a few words.
"It's okay, it's all over, it's all over. Let's work together to kick that thing away. Then we can be our own masters."
Xunmi patted her husband's back and comforted him, saying that she would deal with the dog emperor tomorrow night for treating her husband like that.
Duanmu Yulin took advantage of the situation and pressed her tightly into his arms, burying his head in her neck, breathing in the fresh and elegant fragrance from her body, and his restless heart instantly calmed down.
My heavy heart became light because of her words.
It was clearly filled with the most important treasure to him, but he felt it was light and weightless, simply because it had wings.
She has the wings to fly with him, and she is the only one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him and take that position.
"Xun'er, please don't leave me, okay?" Stay with me forever and share this beautiful land with me.
Xunmi hummed lightly as a response.
Duanmu Yulin wanted to shout excitedly, but was pushed away. Before he could start to wonder if she had changed her mind, he was left in tears and laughter by her words.
"Hey, stop hugging and talking about this. I'm still in mourning. Come on, find something."
The ghost in the coffin with red cheeks and flustered movements silently expressed her shyness.
Duanmu Yulin touched his nose. Xun'er was so cute. It wasn't possible now, but it would be possible after the mourning period. This was a disguised promise to him. He could propose to her after the mourning period.
"By the way, Xun'er, the remains of my father-in-law and mother-in-law have been collected and put into the burial hall. They are temporarily placed in the back mountain."
Duanmu Yulin suddenly remembered what Xun'er had asked him to do at the beginning. Now the Zhonghou Mansion was still in a stage of serious crimes and could not be buried.
Even if they were buried, no tombstone could be erected. He knew that Xun'er must have wanted the Qi family to die honorably.
Just when I found a piece of bright yellow silk that looked like a handkerchief, my eyes started to ache again and tears started to fall.
The most cruel and saddest thing in the world is that when a loved one dies, you are not by their side and cannot bury their body with your own hands.
