"Dead?" Jin Miaomiao was startled. She looked at His Highness Prince Ning who was nodding towards her, then at Song Yaojia and Song Qiyun who were shrugging at her, and finally at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha who had serious faces, " How could it be? His age..." She hesitated, "should be about the same age as our ancestors, right?"
"It's almost the same." His Highness Prince Ning nodded, "The difference between the two of them is less than a year."
"When he passed away, he had just celebrated his forty-fourth birthday." Song Yaojia added, "To be more precise, it was the morning after his birthday that his family discovered that he had left in his sleep."
"It ended without any illness, or is there another hidden agenda?"
"To be precise, he should have died of depression!" Song Yaojia sighed faintly, "First of all, his brother has completely disappeared, with no one alive or dead, and secondly, he has completely fallen out with his ancestors, although he has not yet They broke up in public, but the two of them and the people who were close to them all knew that they basically had no contact with each other. Not only that, if King Jing didn't just stay in the south of the Yangtze and jumped up and down, he would definitely They will be dealt with thoroughly. All this makes King Jing very depressed and aggrieved, but he has nowhere and no one to talk to, so he can only hide everything in his heart."
"This is not the reason why he passed away quietly." Jin Miaomiao waved his hand, "Long-term depression will be directly reflected in his body, and he will slowly start to get sick, lingering on the bed for a long time. Medicine Stone Continuously but with little effect. The final result of such patients is that they either cannot bear the pain and end their own lives, or they die because they are severely stimulated and cannot bear it. In short, it is impossible to die in their sleep. "." She glanced at His Highness Prince Ning and then at Song Yaojia, "Didn't Prince Jing's Mansion find anyone to examine the body?"
"Of course I did, and I also asked our ancestors to investigate the cause of King Jing's death." Song Yaojia shrugged, "Unfortunately, almost three or four groups of people came to check, and they all came to the same conclusion. King Jing had no illness or injury. and died. Later, after asking people in Prince Jing's mansion, including the crown prince and the young prince, I found out that Prince Jing had been in a bad mood in recent years. He always liked to be alone, and many of the general affairs in the mansion were left to the crown prince. Do. The only thing he cared about was related to his younger brother, but as there was less and less news about his younger brother, he became more silent. Some time before his death, there were about... seven or eight About a month later, his food intake gradually decreased and he didn't sleep much. What people in the mansion saw most was that their prince often sat in the house where his younger brother was said to have lived when he was a child, neither eating nor drinking. He stayed there for several days without sleeping. The owners and housekeepers of the mansion could only take the prince out of the room while he was unconscious. Otherwise, while their prince was still awake, They don’t listen to advice at all.”
"This has been King Jing's lifelong obsession." His Highness Prince Ning sighed, "After our ancestors learned about King Jing's situation over the years, they felt a little regretful and felt that they should not let him go back to his hometown in the south of the Yangtze River. If they could be honest and honest, If we have a good talk instead of arguing when our heads are hot, maybe King Jing can live for two more years, and maybe he can make up for the regret of not finding his brother until his death."
"It's a pity that time can't be turned back, people can't be resurrected after death, and there's nothing they can do about regrets." Song Yaojia spread his hands, "And this regret is not only felt by the ancestors, but also by King Tong. He regrets that if he had come to Jiangnan one day earlier, he would have regretted it. Maybe we can see King Jing for the last time."
"He decided to recognize King Jing back?"
"It's not acknowledgment, I just want to have a good chat. This was also one of Emperor Chongde's last wishes. Emperor Chongde felt that no matter whether Prince Tong recognized Prince Jing as his brother or not, he still had to meet him and untie Prince Tong. That knot in my heart.”
"I understand. Emperor Chongde wants Prince Tong to talk to Prince Jing, not to support Prince Tong and Prince Jing to recognize each other, but because he doesn't want Prince Tong to leave any regrets." Jin Miaomiao curled her lips, "Sure enough, I was heartbroken. She prefers the person she loves the most!" She glanced at Shen Haolin and raised her eyebrows slightly, "My lord, do you think so?"
"This is natural." Shen Haolin nodded calmly, "In this regard, Emperor Chongde did the right thing. Prince Tong is his dearest and most beloved person in the world. He only needs to care about Prince Tong's feelings. That's fine, what does other people's feelings have to do with him? He doesn't need to care at all."
While listening to Shen Haolin's words, Jin Miaomiao winked at Shen Cha. Seeing a slight blush slowly appear on the other's straight face, she laughed twice. Seeing Shen Cha glare at her fiercely and roll her eyes at her, she cleared her throat, pretended not to see the big eye roll, and signaled Song Yaojia to continue.
"After King Tong knew that King Jing had passed away, did he stay in Jiangnan and wait for the result, or did he leave?"
"I stayed and waited for the results while wandering around Jiangnan looking for the little memories I had left." Song Yaojia chuckled, "He himself admitted in his memoirs that even those little memories were blurry. He couldn't remember anything related to his childhood. During his more than half a month in Jiangnan, wherever he went, the only things he could think of and remember clearly were with Emperor Chongde. The two of them were What delicious food did he eat in this place, what interesting things happened in that place or what interesting people he saw. He felt that if he continued to stay in Jiangnan, he would miss Emperor Chongde more and more deeply. More and more, he may not be able to fulfill Emperor Chongde's entrustment, return to their small courtyard early and never come out again, and stay with his sweetheart forever."
"Then he didn't wait for the final result of King Jing's death?"
"We've waited." Song Yaojia nodded, "On the day he got the final result, he left Jiangnan County and headed to the southwest border town that Emperor Chongde wanted to visit most but had never been to before his death."
"The funeral...didn't attend?"
"No." Shen Cha shook his head gently, "He himself felt something was wrong. In the last few days in Jiangnan County, wherever he went, he felt several pairs of eyes staring at him. Therefore, in order not to cause trouble, he got After hearing the news, he ran away like crazy."
"Is there anyone watching him? Someone from Prince Jing's Mansion?"
"Then I don't know." Shen Cha shook his head gently, "After leaving Jiangnan, the feeling of being watched is gone."
"Xiaocha doesn't know, I know." His Highness Prince Ning smiled at the person who looked at him, "They are neither from Prince Jing's Mansion nor from our ancestors, but the informants sent by the little prince."
"Little prince?" Shen Cha was stunned, "How did he know that Prince Tong had returned to Jiangnan? How did Uncle Wang know?"
"I know much more about Tianxing Sect than you do, and I have more files and information than you do." His Highness Prince Ning smiled, "It was a complete accident that the little prince's people bumped into Prince Tong. They were... They were sent out to explore if there was any opportunity, but they didn't expect to meet Prince Tong. Those spies saw Prince Tong alone, and were afraid that he would be in danger, so they followed him to protect his safety. As a result..." He spread his hands helplessly, "This is how the misunderstanding has formed, but it's good to be like this. If you continue to stay, you might be discovered by people from Prince Jing's Mansion or your ancestors. They have noticed that there is always someone sneaking around. He was wandering around the palace in a daze, thinking that he would investigate after the funeral. As a result, after the funeral, there was no trace of this person. Prince Tong escaped the disaster by some combination of circumstances."
"Prince Tong is so lucky..." Jin Miaomiao sighed with emotion, "He is not a legend, who is the legend?"
