Chapter 152: The Loyal Guardian of White Moonlight Jin Wan
The emperor was silent and turned his gaze to Shen Wenbo.
Shen Wenbo finally stood up and glanced at Xue Zhao, who was in high spirits, with a complicated look in his eyes. "General Xue, my second daughter got married half a month ago, and..."
He paused and said no more.
In an instant, everyone exploded and started talking in low voices.
One of the officials took over Shen Wenbo's words and continued, "And Madam Su, also known as the Second Miss Shen, passed away yesterday."
what?
Xue Zhao looked at the person suddenly, incredulous, "What did you say?"
His eyes were dark and deep, with a captivating dark color, deep and dangerous.
The official was stunned by his gaze and stammered in response, "I heard... the second young lady passed away yesterday."
As if afraid that Xue Zhao wouldn't believe him, he looked at the prime minister for help.
Shen Wenbo nodded heavily.
This, how is this possible?
It's simply unbelievable. He was still fine when he left. It's only been a few months, how could he be gone?
They must be lying to him.
Xue Zhao looked at them with condemnation and absurdity in his eyes. He frowned and looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, this can't be true..."
Seeing his expression of disbelief, the emperor calmly declared to him: "General Xue, this is indeed true."
If the prime minister lied to him out of disgust, the emperor would never make such a joke.
It turned out that the suona sound he heard on the street was hers.
Xue Zhao felt as if he had been hit hard on the head, his mind went blank. There was silence in his ears at first, and the world instantly lost its color. He seemed to be isolated in a white world, without sound or object, and lost his direction.
Then, a noisy sound swirled and roared in his ears, and his vision regained color, with blurry, swaying people and objects. Their faces were blurred, their mouths opened and closed, and he could not hear what they said.
He was in a daze like this until he left the palace and Zhao Kan beside him called him several times before he came to his senses.
"Qingqing..."
"Xue Zhao?" Zhao Kan waved his hands up and down in front of his eyes, "Xue Zhao!"
"What's wrong?" There was still a strong sense of confusion and shock in Xue Zhao's eyes.
Zhao Kan also guessed his situation. Seeing his distraught look, he sighed heavily and said, "My condolences."
Unexpectedly, after hearing these four words, Xue Zhao's eyes suddenly became clear as if his soul was called back.
He climbed onto the horse, holding the reins in one hand and the rope in the other, and whipped the horse hard. Suddenly, the horse raised its tail and neighed loudly, and shot out like an arrow.
Zhao Kan was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he quickly ordered his men: "Follow me."
Several people immediately rode their horses in the direction of Xue Zhao.
Xue Zhao didn't know where the Su family was. He just followed the extremely clear sound of the suona and galloped all the way to a mansion with elegiac couplets posted on the wall.
He quickly reined in his horse, jumped down swiftly, and ran straight inside regardless of the doubts and surprises of the doormen.
In the middle of the mourning hall, there is a big Chinese character "甸". A black coffin is placed in the middle, with incense, candles and paper money on the left and right. A woman in mourning clothes is kneeling on a cushion and burning paper money, and the sound of wailing can be heard faintly.
Xue Zhao was stunned and hesitated for a moment, but finally he mustered up the courage to step forward.
Qiuyue heard the noise behind her and looked over there with her red eyes. When she saw Xue Zhao, her eyes suddenly widened.
"Xue Zhao?"
When Xue Zhao saw that the woman was Qiuyue, his lips trembled and he squeezed out words from his throat with difficulty, "Qiuyue, where is the lady?"
Hearing this, Qiuyue burst into tears again. She sobbed and gasped, "The young lady... has left..."
Although he had made sufficient mental preparation before coming, Xue Zhao still felt his heart churning when he heard Qiuyue crying and telling the truth with his own mouth.
My heart felt as if it was being squeezed by a hand, the pain was so severe that I almost suffocated, my throat was blocked and I couldn't breathe, the root of my tongue curled up, and my lips kept moving.
"How is it possible? She was alive and well, how could she die..."
Xue Zhao had a sad smile on his face and consoled himself: "She loves to joke the most. She must be lying to me this time."
Suddenly, he strode forward and pushed the coffin open with force amid Qiuyue's screams.
Inside the coffin, the person he missed so much was lying. Unfortunately, she closed her eyes and could no longer hear his voice.
Xue Zhao was about to touch the tip of her nose with trembling hands, when an angry shout came from outside the mourning hall.
"Stop it!"
The person who came towards him was Su Lanqing. He was wearing plain clothes. The moment he saw Xue Zhao, he could no longer maintain his outward calm and gentleness, and his face was filled with naked disgust.
Xue Zhao ignored her and placed his fingertips under the woman's nose.
No breathing.
His breathing seemed to stagnate, "Miss... I am late. I will take you away today."
He stared at Shi Qing's peaceful face with red eyes, no longer caring about the so-called rationality and rules. He directly reached his arm into the coffin and carried the corpse out horizontally.
When the people around saw this scene, they were all horrified and looked at Xue Zhao as if he was a monster.
Qiuyue was startled and stood up in panic, "Xue Zhao, what are you doing!"
Xue Zhao ignored her and held her tightly with his steady and strong arms.
Su Lanqing stood in front of him, his eyes fierce and his teeth gnashed: "She is my wife, how dare you?"
Hearing the word "wife", Xue Zhao finally reacted. His cold eyes shot fiercely at Su Lanqing, the person who usurped her husband's identity.
"Not any time soon."
Su Lanqing couldn't bear it any longer and punched him directly, "Let her go."
Xue Zhao was agile and adjusted his posture to hold Shi Qing with one hand while mercilessly beating Su Lanqing with the other hand.
Su Lanqing was no match for him and was quickly defeated.
The servants behind him were about to besiege Xue Zhao. At this time, Zhao Kan came in and stopped everyone with his soldiers.
When he saw Xue Zhao holding a dead body, who was someone else's wife, he was dumbfounded.
But soon, he calmed down, quickly approached Xue Zhao, and whispered: "Do you know what you are doing?"
Xue Zhao raised his eyelids, his eyes were moist and red, like a devil crawling out of hell. He spoke each word with emphasis: "I must take her away today, no matter what the cost."
Seeing how persistent he was, Zhao Kan didn't know what to do for a moment.
Everyone had different expressions as they watched Xue Zhao walk out of the Su Mansion holding a corpse.
