Chapter 642: Preparing to Leave the City, the Drunken Taoist
Ye Qianning's body was placed in a crystal coffin filled with ice. Luo Wenduyi and two guards from the mansion carried the coffin onto a large carriage.
"A transparent coffin, this is the first time I've seen one."
"It looks like it's made of glass. How much silver does it cost?"
"If it weren't for the crystal coffin filled with ice, the child's body would have been stinking in three or four days in such hot weather."
"Tsk, only when the dead are buried can they rest in peace. It's pitiful to see them going through this."
"Who says it's not true? Dean Chen, relying on his status as the child's master, is too decisive. It would be such an honor for the child to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, but he insisted on going through so much trouble. What's his motive? I wonder if the General's Mansion knows about it."
"What do you mean buried in the imperial mausoleum?"
"You don't know yet? I heard that the Emperor wanted to bury Miss Xiang in the imperial mausoleum as the Crown Princess, but who knew that Master Chen didn't want to, and would rather renounce his nationality to get Miss Xiang's body out of Beili."
"So Dean Chen stripped Miss Xiang of her nationality because he wouldn't allow her to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. I was wondering why the emperor wouldn't allow a child to be buried in Beili. So there's another reason. What's Dean Chen up to?"
The people looked at the crystal coffin being carried out and talked about it.
Several middle-aged men in plain clothes mentioned that President Chen had renounced his Beili nationality, and the onlookers were attracted by his topic.
I felt sorry for Dean Chen for losing his nationality, but when I heard the reason, I suddenly felt that Dean Chen was ungrateful.
The royal family did not despise the child when she died, and even allowed her to be buried in the imperial mausoleum as the Crown Princess. The royal family gave her so much honor, but she didn't want the glory for the whole family. She really doesn't know what is good for her.
The Zhan family, the Gu family, and the Qian family also joined in the trouble, and acted as if they were heartbroken. They brought this upon themselves, and who were they pretending for?
The people who had originally shown sympathy for him now showed mockery on their faces. He didn't even want the favor, it was all his own fault!
Luo Wen put the coffin away and walked to the front of the car. He heard discussions in his ears. He glanced over with a murderous look, and his whole body was filled with murderous aura.
"Luo Wen, put away your murderous intent." Dean Chen walked to the car.
"Dean, they..."
"No need to argue." Dean Chen got in the car.
There is no point in making excuses for insignificant people.
Zhan Yi clenched his fists, his mind as clear as a mirror. Not many people knew about the imperial edict, and if it was spread out, it must have been spread by someone's instructions. There was really no point in arguing, as this was the result the emperor wanted!
The teachers of the academy stood in the front and formed two rows to clear the way. Behind them were the carriages of the two major royal palaces. Madam Zhan and a group of concubines sat in the carriages at the back.
Qianfanji, Zhanchi, and Gu Shuo rode their horses around the carriage carrying the coffin, and the guards followed at the back.
The onlookers were surprised. The teachers of Loushan Academy and the two royal palaces took the lead. Only the royal family could be treated to such a grand ceremony after the death of a deceased person in Kyoto City.
I have to say, even though the young lady of the general's mansion was not buried in the imperial mausoleum, the scene was still quite grand.
The carriage moved slowly, and the streets wherever it passed were crowded with people watching.
The general's mansion was some distance from the city gate, and the carriage had only traveled half the distance by daybreak.
Ye Qianning was lying in a pile of ice. She didn't feel any coldness in the space, which made her wonder if she was really dead.
If she was conscious, would the ice freeze her body?
"Hahaha……"
"Old man, can you lend me some space?"
"Tao... hiccup... There's no Tao in the human world, but the Tao of Hell... hiccup... do you want it..."
"This old Taoist is very drunk. Someone, please pull him away."
Before Ye Qianning could figure it out, she heard a noisy sound in her ears. The other party's voice made her alert. It was the voice of the old man in her dream.
He—is here!
