"Hey, mother knows you are sad. This is the letter Ziqi wrote. The third prince is on the way with Zishu's body." The princess sighed.
At this time, Yu Chaoyang picked up the letter thrown on the ground by Cao Nanhua and looked at it.
She didn't cry or tremble.
Instead, his body became stiff and his hands became stiff as well.
When she finished reading the letter, she glanced at Cao Nanhua, then ran out of the main courtyard like crazy.
"Haha..., haha..." She laughed wildly as she ran.
The two maids following behind her couldn't outrun her.
"Hurry, keep an eye on her." The princess was afraid that she could not bear it and did something stupid, so she immediately called to Qiuxiang behind her.
Qiuxiang immediately chased after Yu Chaoyang's running figure and ran into the garden of the palace.
Yu Chaoyang ran to the small pond and stopped running.
Instead, he looked steadily into the distance.
Her two maids caught up with her.
"Miss?" Bihe was extremely anxious when she saw her master looking into the distance with no joy or sadness.
They couldn't accept that their son-in-law had died on the battlefield. What would the young lady do in the future?
"Go away, I want to be alone." Yu Chaoyang ordered coldly.
The two maids looked at each other and had to step back, but they didn't go far away and just looked at their master silently.
Qiuxiang did not dare to step forward, and stood with the two of them, looking at the Second Young Master's wife who had her back to them.
Yu Chaoyang read the letter in his hand again.
She read every word carefully.
That’s right, Shangguan Zishu died, killing the enemy on the battlefield.
He died an honorable and very valuable death.
Her exchange marriage actually changed the fate of so many people.
But her own destiny did not change at all.
She is still a widow, and she is still raising other people's children.
Why did God let her be reborn?
At this point she didn't know what to do.
She recalled the past.
She married a man who played chess on his bed every day, and she hated him every time she saw him.
Sometimes, when no one was around, she would curse Shangguan Ziqi to vent her emotions. A few times, she even pinched him, but she didn't dare to use too much force for fear of being discovered by the servants.
Later, she adopted a child, but when she found she was not familiar with the child, she just let him go.
In the past, she could not see the future, but only a lonely and miserable life.
She was sad every day, and later when she fell ill, she didn't want to take proper treatment. It was not until her death that she felt relieved.
But God brought her back to life.
She just wanted to change her own destiny, but in the end, all her efforts resulted in the same ending.
She was confused and at a loss.
But she doesn't want to die now.
Maybe she came to atone for her sins.
She looked at the birds flying in the distance, the clouds floating in the sky, and then made a decision.
She and Shangguan Zishu were married, so she should raise his child, educate him well, and train him to be a man of integrity.
At this moment, Yu Chaoyang suddenly became very clear-headed.
She had a goal, put away her sadness, and created her own yard.
Cao Nanhua cried bitterly in front of the princess.
I cried until I fainted.
Yu Yuanzheng pinched her Ren Zhong hard to wake her up again.
At this moment, the head butler came in hurriedly.
"Princess, Princess, the Third Prince has arrived at the palace gate with a coffin." The head butler was so shocked that he didn't know how to react.
When the servant came to report it to him, he didn't believe it at all. He hurried to the door of the mansion to check, and it turned out to be a coffin.
Then he immediately went back to the main courtyard.
They had just received the letter.
I thought it would take two days to arrive, but it arrived so quickly, almost as fast as a letter.
Of course, the speed of the letter cannot be compared with that of the battle report, it is just measured at the general transmission speed.
"Let's go, we'll visit the homes of the heroes who died defending our country." The princess stood up and took the lead.
"Ruoyun, support your master." Yu Yuanzheng gave an order when she saw Cao Nanhua still crying on the ground.
She also asked someone to notify Yu Chaoyang.
The four women arrived outside the palace gate.
The third prince was riding on a horse, waiting for the masters of the palace to come out.
As soon as he saw the princess, he immediately rolled off his horse, ran forward sadly and bowed.
"Aunt, my second cousin died for his country, and I am sending him home."
The third prince squeezed out a few tears and pretended to be serious.
He did not go to the palace to report immediately, but sent the coffin to Prince Xi's palace first.
This also shows his attitude, respect for the dead, and respect for the royal palace.
When Cao Nanhua saw the coffin and heard the words of the Third Prince, she was absolutely certain that her husband was dead.
She rushed to the coffin in a few steps.
"Husband, why did you leave me? I am still so young, what do you want me to do in the future?" Cao Nanhua cried uncontrollably.
But the dirty words she said made people feel uncomfortable, because she was actually thinking about herself.
"Someone, help Nanhua into the palace." The princess also felt that the words were inappropriate and immediately had her taken away.
The chief steward ordered the servant to open the side door completely, and called a few other servants to carry the coffin into the palace together.
For heroes who died in battle, a grand mourning hall should be set up.
The Third Prince delivered the coffin but did not enter the palace. He went to the palace to report to the Emperor.
The chief steward began to make arrangements.
Outside the main hall of the outer courtyard, people began to set up a tent and a mourning hall.
Yu Chaoyang came to the coffin and stared quietly at this strange yet familiar thing.
She had seen this thing before, and just a few moments later, she saw it again. The person sleeping inside was still her husband, but the eldest son was replaced by the second son.
She felt a little dazed and a little unreal.
Two servants stepped forward, opened the lid, and prepared to change the second young master's clothes.
Yu Chaoyang took a step back and ended up stepping on someone's foot.
Turning around, it was Cao Nanhua.
Cao Nanhua did not react at all, but took a step forward and watched the servant open the coffin lid.
She wanted to take a look at the man she had tried so hard to marry.
She had already married him, so she was his wife, a fact that could never be changed in her lifetime.
When the coffin lid was opened, a cold air emanated.
Shangguan Zishu's body lay quietly inside.
It's him, it's really him.
Cao Nanhua's eyes blurred again.
Yu Chaoyang just had a blank expression on his face.
The servant took out the ice cubes wrapped in cloth.
Shangguan Zishu's entire body appeared before everyone.
Two servants carried the body out and placed it on the long table next to the coffin, preparing to change clothes.
"You all step back, I'll change him." Yu Chaoyang said calmly.
This was all she could do for him.
From now on, I can only bring my children to his grave to pay homage every Qingming Festival.
Cao Nanhua didn't leave either, she also wanted to change clothes for her husband.
The two of them have never been so harmonious.
Jin Ling also came. She took the newly bought clothes from the servant and held them in her hands.
As his clothes were taken off bit by bit, the wounds on Shangguan Zishu's body were revealed to the three women.
No matter how good Yu Chaoyang's attitude was, he couldn't help but shed tears.
Her husband has also grown up. He is no longer the naughty boy he was when she first married him. He has taken on responsibilities and has the sense of responsibility as a member of the Shangguan family.
Under the guidance of his grandfather, he grew up to be an excellent general. He could lead troops in battle and he was not afraid of life and death.
"Second Young Master! Wuuuu..." Jin Ling could no longer control herself and burst into tears.
