Chapter 10. The spectacular funeral procession.

"Don't catch me, you damn bastard!" Shen Fei Ning immediately fell off her bed.

He looked around at his familiar surroundings and then let out a sigh of relief. He then got up from the floor while patting his butt which felt a little sore when he landed on the floor.

"Damn it! I've traveled back to ancient times, but you still want to catch me! If you have the ability, go ahead and travel back in time like me and catch me. Don't come into my dreams again, damn it!" Shen Fei Ning scolded those people.

The sun was shining brightly outside, Shen Fei Ning didn't want to sleep anymore, so she put on her clothes and walked out of her room.

He was confused. He didn't find anyone around him. Although there weren't many servants, there would be one or two people working or passing by.

"Uh, where are the guys?"

She then walked to the front yard and saw only the empty mournful aura. Shen Fei Ning frowned.

Then he patted his forehead. He just remembered what Eunuch Chu said yesterday that they were given 3 days to immediately return to their hometown.

"Oh my, how could I forget?! Today is my grandfather and father-in-law's funeral!"

Since they had to leave tomorrow, the funeral had to be held today. How could he forget something as important as this?

No one told her anything. Shen Fei Ning didn't realize that she had been forgotten again...

The capital city has always been the most prosperous and bustling place. Xiwu Main Street is usually always crowded with traffic, both pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages passing by, but today is an exception. Everything is very quiet.

Xiwu Main Street was very quiet. Both sides of the street were filled with people standing and gazing sadly at the funeral procession that was slowly approaching.

Many people also deliberately hang white lanterns in front of their houses, as a sign of their respect for former Chancellor Tua Lie.

They didn't care whether the rebellion was real or not, what they knew was the great services of the late former Chancellor Old Lie and the great General Lie Nan Gong during their lifetime.

They had protected the Great Xia Dynasty so that they could live in peace without war today. This kindness was deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people. Therefore, all the people took to the streets to send the heroes to their final resting place.

Lie Pei Nan, who was carried on a chair, was at the front of the funeral procession, followed by Mrs. Lie and the crying twins Nan Hao and Nan Huan.

The funeral procession was only attended by less than ten people, including the servants.

If the funeral procession had not left the residence of former Chancellor Tua Lie, no one would have thought that the person lying in the coffin of the funeral procession was the person who had once been the second greatest person after the late emperor.

All the people's eyes who witnessed this sad funeral procession, shed tears. Spontaneously they followed behind the funeral procession of former Chancellor Tua Lie and the great General Lie Nan Gong.

Not one of them made a sound for the sake of the solemnity of the funeral ceremony of former Chancellor Tua Lie and General Lie Nan Gong.

When the group reached the city gate, the people accompanying them snaked even further along the road.

The view was quite spectacular, and inevitably made Mrs. Lie's eyes wet again.

Lie Pei Nan's hand, which was currently holding the memorial tablet, tightened tightly, he remembered the words of his late grandfather in his last letter.

"Yes, grandpa is right, the people in this country are innocent!" he said in his heart.

Such a spectacular scene usually happened in the empire, but Emperor Jiang Yan, whose heart was extremely vicious, only looked at it with irony.

Anyone could understand that someone had framed the First Prince to bring him down. How could anyone intentionally keep evidence in his residence, especially since this was a rebellion!

Moreover, this was the First Prince who was clearly a big candidate for the nomination as Crown Prince!

It was clear that this was palace intrigue. The former Chancellor Tua Lie's residence was just a victim!

So why?

He was the emperor and the entire Great Xia Dynasty belonged to him!

The most important thing for him was to consolidate his power and get rid of any forces that seemed to threaten his power, including getting rid of his own son, the First Prince!

He did not feel that what the people were doing now was a slap in the face.

Emperor Jiang Yan, who was watching the funeral procession from his horse-drawn carriage, saw more and more people following the funeral procession solemnly.

He snorted, "Will these people still be the same after a few decades, considering his services, not his rebellion?"

Eunuch Chu who received Emperor Jiang Yan's question did not dare to answer his question, he only lowered his head. He was afraid that if he gave a wrong answer, then his worthless life would be lost on the spot.

Everyone only knows that he is the closest person beside the emperor Jiang Yan. But no one knows how tired he is every day having to rack his small brain to survive!

Eunuch Chu was sweating from anxiety, but fortunately Emperor Jiang Yan did not seem to demand an answer.

Emperor Jiang Yan smiled contemptuously and said, "This is the reason why he had to die.

By coming and participating in the funeral procession of the late Chancellor Lie, the citizens could be said to have dared to disrespect him.

If he continued to allow his eldest son who was supported by the former Old Chancellor Lie's residence to sit on the throne, it would be difficult to say whether the imperial court belonged to the Jiang or Lie lineage.

Although Emperor Jiang Yan did not say it, Eunuch Chu understood this.

He was willing to sacrifice his own biological son to achieve his goal.

Therefore, it is natural for people to say that there were no family ties within the imperial court.

Emperor Jiang Yan turned his gaze away from the procession of commoners behind the funeral procession, he looked at Lie Pei Nan who was at the front of the procession holding a memorial tablet.

The emperor looked at his legs and asked, "Is it true that he is crippled?"

Eunuch Chu nodded and said, "I have confirmed it myself by sending the imperial physician to confirm it personally. Perhaps if there is a Divine Pill, he will be able to wake up again."

"What a shame!" But his words did not match the expression on his face which was smiling with satisfaction.

Eunuch Chu glanced at him and then lowered his head again. He knew this without having to look at the expression on his face. Even the anger he had felt towards the commoner had disappeared without a trace.

Too bad! In Kasim Chu's memory, he was a talented young man, who always smiled at everyone he met. Now he is like an eagle whose wings have been broken!

Eunuch Chu also remembered that when an envoy from another country came with his provocation to embarrass the kingdom, he bravely jumped out to face the envoy from another country, even though at that time he was only twelve years old.

All the noble princesses who saw the event secretly had their hearts set on him.

But unfortunately the young man is no longer there now.

Too bad!

Emperor Jiang glanced at the funeral procession before saying, "Return to the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Eunuch Chu nodded respectfully and as he lowered his curtain, he looked at the two coffins in the funeral procession escorted by many commoners, and a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes that then quickly disappeared.

...

At the Residence of the fifth-rank administrative ministry official, Shen Ping Xiu.

It was already ten o'clock at night, but the host that Shen Fei Ning had been waiting for a long time had not yet shown his face.

He had taken great pains to find this residence, relying only on his meager memories of being carried in the bridal sedan.

Shen Fei Ning, the original owner of the body has never left her house since she refused to visit Madam Lie's residence due to threats from Madam Chen, the evil concubine.

"Aishh, where did those damn people go?!

He was very annoyed because he had been waiting for a long time but the three people he was waiting for to teach a lesson had not come home yet.

Finally, Shen Fei Ning vented his anger on the servants he met at the residence. He didn't care if the servants had ever bullied him or not, it was clear that they didn't help him when he was in trouble. Shen Fei Ning was satisfied.

When Shen Fei Ning decided to return to the former Old Chancellor Lie's residence. Not long after, the Shen family she had been waiting for had already returned to the residence.

Bak!

Buk!

Bak!

Buk!

After finishing Shen Fei Ning hurriedly left the Shen residence and returned to the Lie residence.
