At this moment, there was a deep sadness in every corner of the Ling Palace, and people were crying everywhere. Even the cats in the palace were leaning down at the door of the mourning hall and were reluctant to leave for a long time.

The servants in the mansion were so sad that they could not control themselves and could not count on them in the funeral.

The Seventh Prince called the people from his house to come to help, but because of the war overnight, the shop in the city that could buy coffins and paper candles was either closed or beaten or smashed and robbed during the war, so he couldn't buy anything for a while, and the body of the Fifth Prince could only be stopped in the mourning hall.

It is said that it is a mourning hall, but it is just the front hall of the Ling Palace. Because it has not been decorated with white silk spirit banners, it does not look like it is about to build a spirit. Only a group of servants kneel around the corpse and cry.

The Seventh Prince had no choice but fortunately, the Hong family arrived in time and took over the funeral.

The Hongjia business involves the entire industry. There are two shops selling funeral products in Shangdu City, which are owned by Hongjia.

So the servant took Hong's token to call the door, and soon the shop's servant brought him all the items he needed, and even the coffin was the best ready-made one that could be used.

The seventh prince breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Hong Shi sincerely, but Hong Shi was not in good condition because there was no news from the Hong family, and the people she sent to the Hong family to inquire had not come back yet.

On the way out of the palace, I met many officials from the city. She reported to her home and asked her, and the officials also answered her enthusiastically, but the results given by the Hong family were: the Hong family was smashed and looted by Guo Wenyu, and all the Hong family members disappeared, and no one was seen.

Hongshi said that she believed that the Hong family was fine because she knew that the Hong family had a place to hide.

But I always worry in my heart if I don’t see anyone.

The Seventh Prince also sent people to Hong's house, and even told the officials on the street to focus on taking care of Hong's shops. If they need help, they will do their best.

But the sent out still did not bring back valuable news.

Hong was organizing the funeral of the fifth prince with concern, and was in a very orderly manner. Even the mourning clothes of the people in the mansion were prepared in a short time. The white silk banners in the mansion were hung, and the flowers made of white silk were hung at the door of the Lingwang Mansion.

Under the aura of this atmosphere, the crying sounds in the mansion became louder. The servants knelt in the mourning hall and kowtowed to their master. The eunuch in charge fainted from crying. After waking up, he insisted on kneeling in the mourning hall, saying that he would not leave the fifth prince even if he died.

The seventh prince told Hong, "That was the eunuch who served the fifth brother since he was a child. He has been with him since the fifth brother was not as high as the table. In the past, he was beaten by the fairy concubine in the Chahe Palace.

Unexpectedly, the fifth brother was gone after a few years of good days."

Hong wiped her tears and threw a handful of paper money into the fire pit in front of her.

When Lin met him, hesitantly said, "Is it useless for us to burn paper?

I have heard before that the reason why people who keep the paper burning is done by juniors and peers is because there is a saying among the people that the elders burn paper cannot receive it.

Speaking of which, although we are concubines of Duke Wen’s mansion, if we count by seniority, we are also elders, so we should not burn this paper money, and burn it for the children, so that the fifth prince will not be able to take it away."

Hong nodded, "You make sense, I have heard of this statement.

Forget it, let's not burn it.

But there is something you said wrong. Now we can't say that we are concubines of Duke Wen's Mansion. We can only say that we were concubines of Duke Wen's Mansion before. Before the accident, Duke Wen had already divorced us and had changed the documents of the government. We have nothing to do with the Bai family."

"Yes, I was wrong, before, before."

Lin corrected it immediately, but at the same time he was also confused.

She told Hong, "I used to think that Duke Wen's Mansion was the destination, and I thought that Bai Xingyan was the only one who relied on. My greatest fortune was to be able to enter Duke Wen's Mansion in this life. I said that nothing could come out of that mansion again.

But this year has passed, and this idea has become increasingly weak. Even when I got the divorce book, I felt that this matter was a bit sudden, but I didn't think I would be homeless in the future and become an abandoned woman who was abandoned by a man.

You said this was a pity, but what?”

Hong told her: "This is not giving up, it is because we finally recognize the reality, it is because we are turning back and turning back.

I once tried my best to please Bai Xingyan for my two children and A Ran, just to survive in that mansion, and even to spend thousands of gold and silver from my parents' home.

But what did I change to?

In the end, I was just a money house that could come to withdraw money anytime and anywhere. The Bai family only wanted to get me when they needed money.

The kindness he has ever been to me is not even because of my beautiful face, but because of money.”

Lin agreed with this very much: "Yes, in his eyes and heart, besides money, power, women or children, it is just a stepping stone on his way to pursue fame and fortune.

As long as he can step on us, he will not care whether we are dead or alive."

The seventh prince heard the two women's words and suddenly felt that he was actually lucky.

It is said that the most ruthless imperial family is. Indeed, there are many ruthless and unrighteous people in his family, including so many concubines in the harem and so many brothers and sisters.

He has also been framed, and his third brother almost killed him many years ago.

But compared to the Bai family, he still thinks the Jun family is very good.

At least there is a wise master on it, and there is a reasonable queen sitting beside him. At least he will get two smiling faces when he calls his father and mother. At least no matter how old he grows, his mother will remember to make each of them a new set of clothes, new crown, new shoes and new socks during the holidays.

His father was not the kind of emperor who only talked about the king and ministers but not father and son. Compared to Bai Xingyan, his father was more humane, more reasonable, and more concerned about his relatives and children. Even the concubines who had not favored him for many years were doing his best to give them a good life and care for them.

Compared to the Bai family's children, he is lucky.

Someone hurriedly ran in outside the mourning hall. It was a little maid. When he came in, he knelt in front of Hongshi, crying and laughing: "Madam, the entourage beside the second lady is back, bringing news from the Hong family."

Hong quickly got up, but she got up violently. She fooled her for a while and almost fainted.

Lin was startled and quickly helped her. Bai Zhenzhen and Bai Haoxuan, who were kneeling on the ground to burn paper for the fifth prince, rushed over to support Hongshi, and looked out of the mourning hall together until they saw the sword light coming in, Bai Zhenzhen hurriedly asked, "How is the Hong family?"

Dao Guang didn't keep it a secret and immediately said, "Don't worry, Miss Four, Mrs. Hong, don't worry, Hong's family is fine, everyone is fine.

As soon as the rebels began to cause trouble, the master of the Hong family hid in the secret room with all the people in the mansion. Not to mention that the masters are fine, even the servants of the Hong Mansion will suffer no losses.

The mansion was robbed and smashed, and it didn't look very good."

Bai Zhenzhen breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's good that people are fine, and the mansion is not afraid."

The worry that Hong had been holding in her heart finally relaxed. She sat on the ground like a paralyzed person, tears pouring out loudly, covering her face with her hands, and couldn't help crying.

Only then did Lin realize that Hong Piaopiao had been holding on because she knew that she could not fall down, and there were so many children. If she fell down, the people in this mansion would have no backbone.

Although Hong Piaopiao does not have to support the overall situation like Bai Heran, she is also the spiritual pillar of the family. Only when she holds it, her children can stand it.

At this moment, Lin truly realized the gap between himself and Hong. It was not the distance between having money or not, but whether he could bear the courage and confidence of the entire family.

She felt that she should learn from Hongshi, and that her previous ability to charm men was no longer useful.

Now that the man is gone and the family is gone, she has to support her daughter. She cannot let her daughter lose her father and not have a strong mother to rely on.

Even for her daughter, she will change herself from this moment.

The funeral of the Prince Ling's Mansion was organized in an orderly manner. The third wife Guan left the two children to guard the fifth prince, and she herself took a carriage and returned to the general's mansion first.

It’s not okay if you don’t go back. The Zhenbei General’s Mansion is a mansion that the rebels mainly care about. After a night of war, the General’s Mansion was like the Red Desert, and was first affected. Those people smashed and smashed around the city. One of the important targets was the Zhenbei General’s Mansion.

She had to go back and see how the servants in the mansion were doing and how much was left.

On the way back to the house with the third lady's carriage, she passed by Xiaobai Mansion.

The carriage did not stop, she just raised the curtain and looked at Xiaobai Mansion.

The gate of Xiaobai Mansion was closed and she couldn't tell what was going on inside, so she didn't want to stop and inquire.

Bai Xingwu lost his mother and could not be understood for a moment, but if he couldn't figure it out in the future, he would probably have to break the family.

In the palace, the imperial guards took Bai Mingzhu and Jun Changning down from Wuming Mountain and sent them to Qingming Hall.

Emperor Tianhe was exhausted all night and was in a bad state of mind, so Queen Chen was always with him.

After the court officials took their families out of the palace, the emperor and the empress did not stay in Mingluan Palace, because Emperor Tianhe said that sitting in Mingluan Palace, he could think of the three girls of the Bai family shed blood and tears on their faces, saying that this was the first time he saw a person's tears in his eyes that could actually be blood.

He knew that Bai Yanyu was too sad, so why didn’t he be sad?

He is always raised by his own children. He has never been a hard-hearted emperor. Although he has to do many things, he believes that he is worthy of his true heart in this life.

So Lao Wu's death made him feel distressed, and the blood flowing out of Bai Yanyu's eyes became an indelible sadness in his heart.

Queen Chen stayed with him until Bai Mingzhu and Jun Changning were brought in, and then she pulled his sleeve lightly and whispered: "When you are here, don't just worry about being sad, you still have some serious things to deal with.

There must be an explanation for the other end of the cold Gan. You know that Aran's temper is, the other end of the Gebu is probably not stable, so the cold Gan cannot be messed up for the time being."
