300 Chapter 1: the supervisor’s gift (3)
“Oh, you still don’t know?” The fourth prince sighed, ”
“That copper Gong Xu Qi ‘an died in the line of duty. What a pity.”
Bang … The wine glass shattered on the ground.
Everyone looked at Lin ‘an.
Lin ‘an was completely unaware of his loss of self-control. His delicate and white hand tightly grabbed the crown prince’s sleeve, and with a trembling sobbing voice, he said, “”Brother Crown Prince, don’t joke with me …”
Her eyes were sparkling with tears and she was pleading pitifully.
The Crown Prince was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly darkened a bit. He brushed away Lin ‘an’s hand and said in a deep voice, “”This matter is true. Imperial father has already drawn up a decree. When the corpse of the gong is transported back to the capital, it will be conferred.
“Lin ‘an, pay attention to your own status.”
The great Princess of Da Feng actually lost her composure because of a subordinate’s death in the line of duty. The Crown Prince took Lin ‘an as a sentimental place. He didn’t want to think too deeply.
Lin ‘an silently retracted his hand. He stood up without a word and walked into the vast snow.
“Lin. an, Lin. an …” The Crown Prince chased her to the pavilion and shouted at her back.
The woman in red walked forward in silence. The snowflakes fluttered and fell on her hair.
The Crown Prince turned his head and roared at Lin an’s personal Palace maid,”Hurry up and hold the umbrella for the princess.”
The palace maid happened to pick up the umbrella and was about to chase after him. Hearing this, she stopped, curtsied to the Crown Prince, opened the oil-paper umbrella, and quickly caught up.
In the pavilion, the princes and princesses had not come to their senses, and their expressions were blank.
On the other side, the palace maid who had been patted by Xu Qi ‘an held an umbrella and carefully looked at Lin’ an’s side profile, not daring to speak.
What. pity, that Gong died in the line of duty … The palace maid sighed in her heart.
Suddenly, she heard a soft choking sound. She turned her head in shock and saw that the princess of Lin an’s face was full of tears.
Princess?!
The palace maid trembled as she called out. She looked around in a panic. Fortunately, the snow was falling heavily and there was no one around. She lowered her voice and said,”Why are you crying? is it because of him?” she asked.
“Bengong … Bengong doesn’t know …”
Tears fell drop by drop. Lin an raised his hand and pressed it against his chest.
This place was empty.
………
it’s snowing. I like snowy days. I should wait for the snow to stop so that I can have a snowball fight with my senior brothers. I can also build a snowman and a snow horse.
In the warm tea room of Princess huaiqing’s residence, Yan Caiwei was drinking tea and eating pastries as she looked out of the window at the heavy snow.
Her dimples were shallow, and she enjoyed the pleasant afternoon. There was hot tea, delicious pastries, and she could even watch the snow.
Princess huaiqing was wearing a White Palace dress. She had long been immune to the cold and heat, so she was wearing a summer dress that accentuated her figure.
She didn’t pay any attention to her best friend’s chatter. She held the book in her hand, but her eyes were staring at the snow in a daze.
Princess huaiqing, what’s wrong with you? you’ve been so out of your mind these days. Yan Caiwei felt that she was being ignored and was very angry.
The White snowflakes were reflected in his bright black eyes as he said in a rejoicing voice, “”Caiwei, I’m afraid that the letter I wrote on your behalf will not be able to reach you.”
Yan Caiwei ate her cake without a care and asked,”Why?”
“He died in the line of duty.”
Yan Caiwei’s hand trembled and the pastry fell to the ground.
…….
Stargazing tower, Eight Trigrams stage.
Dejected, Yan Caiwei walked up the steps and arrived at the top floor of the stargazing tower.
Heavy snow was falling, covering the eight trigrams stage with a thin layer of snow. The supervisor sat cross-legged in front of the table, covering a three-foot radius. Not a single snowflake fell.
Yan Caiwei stopped behind the supervisor and sobbed,”Teacher …”
“Since young, every time a senior brother bullies you, you’ll cry and come to me to complain.” The supervisor didn’t turn his head. He smiled and drank a cup of wine.
“No senior brother bullied me.” Yan Caiwei pursed her lips and burst into tears,”Xu Qi ‘an is dead. Xu Qi’ an is dead. I’m so sad …”
The supervisor was silent for a moment. He turned his head to the South, as if he was focused on something. Suddenly, he chuckled,”It’s a good thing,”
Yan Caiwei cried even harder and stomped her feet, scolding as she cried,”Stupid old man, stupid old man, my friend is dead and you’re saying it’s a good thing? Why Don’t You Just Die?”
“What did I tell the teacher? Teacher has lived for five hundred years, but he hasn’t lived enough. He needs to borrow another five hundred years from the heavens.” Jian Zheng said angrily.
“Then, then what you said just now, is that what a teacher should say?” Yan Caiwei sobbed.
“If Master says it’s a good thing, it’s naturally a good thing.” “The year before last, did you eat the reborn pill I gave you?”
“What reborn pill?” Yan Caiwei wiped her tears.
“Rebirth pill. I’ve only refined three of them in a sixty-year cycle. Emperor yuanjing begged me, but I didn’t even give him the pill.” The supervisor was even angrier.
“Oh, it’s in my bag,” “If you didn’t mention it, I would have forgotten about it. I don’t even need that thing,” Yan Caiwei sobbed.
“Remember, you gave the reborn pill to Xu Qi ‘an,” the supervisor nodded and said with a smile.
“I didn’t.”
“You did.”
“I didn’t. It’s in my bag.”
“Shut up. In the future, if someone asks you, just say this.”
“Oh,” “Teacher, Xu Qi ‘an is dead,” Yan Caiwei cried again.
She had a habit of crying to the head Warden whenever she encountered something sad. Just like how a child would cry to his parents when he was wronged.
“You’ve just stepped into rank-6 not long ago, so don’t go out these days.”
After Yan Caiwei left, the supervisor opened his palm and revealed an orange-yellow pill.
Then, the supervisor plucked a strand of his white beard and let out a breath.
The strand of beard fluttered in the wind, flying higher and higher. Suddenly, it expanded and turned into a large white bird.
