Chapter 521 Request



Emperor Jingming was stunned for a moment, and looked at Pan Hai blankly for a long time: "What did he say?"

Pan Hai repeated with a bitter face: "General Cui killed the princess and then committed suicide..."

Emperor Jingming raised his hand to support his forehead, and his vision went dark.

Cui Yi's crying voice echoed in his ears, making his headache worse.

It’s chaos, it’s chaos, the world is really in chaos.

He had punished Rongyang impartially, so why did he cause another death? Did he still take the emperor seriously?

Emperor Jingming still had some brotherly affection for Princess Rongyang. Although he was almost worn out by Princess Rongyang's repeated willful behavior, he still felt sad.

Cui Yi's crying made him upset.

"Uncle, what should I do?"

Looking at his crying nephew, Emperor Jingming suddenly thought of Jiang Zhan, who volunteered to guard the border.

Two similar children, but with completely different performances...

However, he could not blame his nephew at this time, and sighed: "Don't cry, I will order people to bury your parents properly and make proper arrangements for you..."

Cui Yi cried even louder, wiping his nose while crying: "Uncle, I have a request——"

"You say." Emperor Jingming's temples were throbbing.

He was now most afraid of hearing the word "request". The seventh daughter-in-law made a request, and two people died immediately. They were his sister and brother-in-law...

"Please don't bury my parents together."

"Hmm?" Emperor Jingming was slightly stunned. He did not expect Cui Yi to make such a request.

It is natural for a couple to be buried together. There are many unhappy couples in this world. When a person dies, they are buried in the earth and the past is covered. From then on, they can enjoy the worship of their descendants. It is really rare for someone to take the initiative to not bury his parents together.

Cui Yi's eyes were red, and the tip of his nose was also red, but his expression was firm: "Don't bury them together. I don't want my parents to continue like this in the underworld."

Emperor Jingming was silent for a long time, then nodded slightly: "Okay, then we won't be buried together."

Pan Hai sighed secretly.

From heaven to earth, sometimes it really takes only the blink of an eye.

Princess Rongyang became a commoner and could not enter the royal cemetery, nor the Cui family ancestral tomb. Her end was truly lamentable.

"Pan Hai, send someone to help take care of Rongyang and Cui Xu's funeral arrangements." After giving the order, Emperor Jingming looked at Cui Yi.

Cui Yi said again: "Uncle, I have another request."

Emperor Jingming's eyelids trembled.

Have another request?

"You say."

"Please help me find my sister, uncle. She is my only relative now."

Emperor Jingming had no choice but to nod: "I will keep this in mind, don't worry."

"Thank you, uncle."

"You should hurry back. Your parents will need your help."

After Cui Yi left wiping his tears, Emperor Jingming sighed heavily.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here——"

Emperor Jingming's face turned serious: "Keep it a secret for now. If the Queen Mother hears a single word, she will not show mercy!"

He didn't have the courage to talk to the Queen Mother again in the short term, so he decided to delay it as long as possible.

The news of Cui Xu and Princess Rongyang's death spread quickly, shocking countless people.

In the mansion of Marquis Yining, the old lady burst into tears, but her expression was happy: "Old man, Princess Rongyang who killed A Ke has received retribution, she has really received retribution."

The old Marquis Yining patted the old lady's arm and said, "Why are you crying again? You just cried before and hurt your eyes."

The old lady smiled and wiped her tears: "This is called crying for joy. I was already happy enough when I heard that Princess Rongyang was demoted to a commoner, but I didn't expect to hear even better news. Old man, do you think God has opened his eyes?"

The old Marquis of Yining looked at the cotton door curtain embroidered with a pattern of magpies climbing plum trees, and said with a smile: "It's not God's will, but we have a good granddaughter..."

"You mean Si'er?" The old lady wiped away her tears and laughed even more happily, "Yes, our Si'er is a good person. She avenged her mother."

The old Marquis Yining frowned slightly: "I am only worried that the death of Princess Rongyang will affect the impression of Si'er in the emperor's mind."

The old lady straightened her expression and said calmly, "It's worth it. If you don't dare to avenge your mother because you are worried about the impact on yourself, wouldn't you be unworthy of being someone else's child?"

Old Yining Hou Baimei stretched his eyebrows and said: "You are right, there are things to do and things not to do, and it seems that I have done it very well."

Ever since they found out that the real murderer who killed their daughter was Princess Rongyang, the old couple had a heavy heart and could not act rashly for the sake of their family and grandchildren.

They felt aggrieved and angry, and had sleepless nights for who knows how many days and nights. Now their granddaughter has finally helped them vent their anger.

Uncle Su's mood was slightly different from that of his parents.

The wife poisoned her mother and sister, and she died. Princess Rongyang was the murderer behind the scenes, and she also died. And all of this was because of the niece...

Uncle Su was in a very complicated mood: his niece was very tough.

At the Dongping Marquis's Mansion, Jiang Yi stopped Jiang Zhan tightly and said, "Second brother, you can't set off firecrackers!"

Jiang Zhan laughed: "I was just saying it, but you took it seriously."

He is not as impulsive as before. Even if he has set off thousands of fireworks in his heart, he will not really go outside to set off firecrackers. His elder sister was actually scared like this.

"Just talking?" Jiang Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pinched Jiang Zhan, "Then why did you scare me? I thought you were really going to the street to set off firecrackers to celebrate."

Even if Princess Rongyang lost the emperor's favor, she was still the empress dowager's adopted daughter. The person was already dead, and if she showed her joy, the emperor would surely dislike her.

The door curtain was raised and Jiang Ancheng strode in.

"Father——" the brother and sister shouted at the same time.

Jiang Ancheng stared at his children with red eyes: "Princess Rongyang killed your mother!"

Jiang Yi and Jiang Zhan looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Did you know this a long time ago?" Jiang Ancheng asked while leaning against the wall.

Jiang Zhan spoke first: "I found out when I went to visit my grandmother. I was afraid that my father would not be able to bear it if he knew, so I persuaded my eldest sister and fourth sister not to tell you."

Seeing Jiang Zhan taking the responsibility, Jiang Yi said softly, "Father, it wasn't my second brother who made the decision alone. I was the one who asked them to keep it a secret from you."

Jiang Ancheng pounded the wall hard and asked, "Si'er didn't go to your aunt's funeral. Is this related to this?"

Youshi and Princess Rongyang were already dead, so there was no burden to tell Jiang Ancheng the truth. Jiang Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Princess Rongyang murdered my mother through Youshi..."

"You are so good at hiding this from me!" Jiang Ancheng sighed with trembling lips.

Could he blame his children at this point? Of course not.

His heart was beating like oil, thinking about the extreme pain of his wife's death. He wanted to rush to the princess's mansion and kill the vicious Princess Rongyang with his own hands, but Cui Xu did it for him.

And all this is thanks to Si'er.

Jiang Ancheng wiped his face and suddenly missed his little daughter very much.
