Qingdie didn't say anything more and walked away.
After a long time, a man finally walked into the tent and comforted Ni Yueshan, "The dead cannot be resurrected, and the dead must hope that the living can be safe and happy."
Ni Yueshan looked at the newcomer in surprise, "Didn't you leave?"
"Father must not want me to stay in the hunting grounds any longer, so he let him think I had left."
At this time, he was dressed in guard clothes and had a guard hat on his head to cover his face. How could others know that Jing Yuchen was pretending to leave and that he had returned?
"I'm fine! You don't have to worry about me. It's not good to be seen by the emperor."
"Now that the Prime Minister's wife is gone, there's no reason for you to stay here. I want to escort you two back to the capital."
Ni Yueshan felt that what Jing Yuchen said made sense, so she didn't refuse and nodded.
Hearing that Ni Yueshan was going back to the capital, Duan Gouqiong came to see him off worriedly: "If you are unhappy, then stay and go hunting with us!"
Ni Yueshan shook her head: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just feel sad when I look at this place."
Duan Gouqiong looked at Ni Yueshan distressedly, then said to Shao Lecheng: "You send Sister Yueshan back."
"What are you going to do? Are you not going back?"
Ni Yueshan immediately said: "No need, I have someone to take me there!"
Ni Yueshan reached out and pulled the person next to her, asking them to look up. When they saw Jing Yuchen's face, they were both surprised. Then Duan Gouqiong slapped Jing Yuchen's shoulder fiercely: "I told you, how could you abandon Sister Yueshan?"
Afterwards, Jing Yuchen and Ni Yueshan set out together, taking Miao Yuan's body with them.
The two of them sat in the carriage. Ni Yueshan leaned against Jing Yuchen and said nothing. Jing Yuchen also did not speak. They traveled slowly along the way.
In the capital, Ni Gaofei found it hard to accept the news of Miao Yuan's death. He looked at the coffin, reached out and slowly stroked it, with grief in his eyes.
Ni Yueshan comforted him, "Dad, my identity is already known to everyone. Let me observe mourning for Mom!"
Ni Gaofei lowered his eyes, stared at the coffin and nodded.
The white silk hangings in the mansion were quickly put up, and preparations for the funeral were almost complete that evening. Ni Yueshan knelt before the coffin and burned paper money for Miao Yuan. Jing Yuchen said worriedly, "You're still weak. Why don't you go and rest? I'll stay here and watch over you."
Ni Yueshan was wearing a plain linen shirt and a white mourning cloth on her head. She was throwing paper money into the brazier. "I want to be with Mom. You go ahead and do your work. I'm fine."
Ni Yueshan's face was pale, with deep bags under her eyes, and she looked very haggard. How could she be okay?
But Jing Yuchen knew that once Ni Yueshan made up her mind, it would be difficult to change it. He didn't say anything more and got up and left.
When he came back again, he was wearing a plain linen shirt. Ni Yueshan looked at him in surprise: "As a prince, how can you wear hemp clothes when the emperor is still alive?"
Jing Yuchen stubbornly knelt beside him and said, "I'm your mother's son-in-law, why can't I?"
The most important thing is that it was late at night and there were no outsiders in the prime minister's residence, so he was not afraid of being seen by others.
Ni Yueshan lowered her eyes and looked at the burning paper money with a complicated expression: "I'm sorry, it's my fault that I failed to save the child."
Although she did not cry in front of Jing Yuchen, her expression was too sad. If she cried bitterly, Jing Yuchen would feel more at ease, at least Ni Yueshan would not hurt herself.
"This child has no connection with us, it doesn't matter. Maybe he doesn't want his grandmother to be lonely?"
Ni Yueshan didn't say anything else, tears began to roll down her cheeks, but she didn't want to make any sound. It must be said that Jing Yuchen was really bad at comforting people.
Jing Chengzhi's body was also transported back, and the funerals were held in the Prince's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion just a few days apart.
Chu Ningyang, who was planning to marry into the Prince's Mansion, had to choose a new son-in-law.
Half a month later, the hunting in the royal hunting ground ended and everyone rushed back to the capital.
The emperor never tried the case of Jing Chengzhi and Duan Gouqiong. After all, the people were dead, and there was no point in investigating the case.
The matter ended in nothing, and Duan Gouqiong had had enough of it, so he came to visit the Prince's Mansion.
Duan Gouqiong couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Ni Yueshan half a month later.
"Sister Yueshan, you are so thin and pale..."
She pinched Ni Yueshan's cheeks in pain, but couldn't even find any flesh.
Ni Yueshan just chuckled and said, "Feeling bad? Well, why not treat me to a meal?"
The two were still chatting when they saw Jing Yuchen and Shao Lecheng coming over one after another.
The two of them looked a little solemn. Ni Yueshan stopped joking with Duan Gouqiong and asked, "What happened?"
