When Duanmu Yulin saw the coffin, he actually rejected it.
However, when he saw Xun 'er knocking here and there so seriously, he also went forward to search with her.
To be honest, he would never have thought that Marquis Qi would hide things in a coffin.
This was really …
XunMi searched the outside but didn't find anything. She directly climbed into the coffin and began tossing out the contents.
Duanmu Yulin, who was hit, was stunned. He took off the pearl necklace on his head and was confused. What just happened?
When he turned around, he saw a white figure moving around in the coffin. After two seconds of silence, he lowered his head and continued searching.
With his fearless personality, he was almost frightened by Xun 'er. He felt a bit embarrassed for some reason.
Sigh, but he couldn't be blamed. It was a coffin after all.
A coffin?!
"Xun 'er, come out quickly. It's inauspicious." He was so excited that he didn't pay attention to the way he addressed her and carried her out.
How could a living person go to a place where the dead slept? She wasn't a professional in this field and it wasn't a family member who needed a coffin. What if she was unlucky?
Xunmi was also confused. She blinked at her husband's words and replied reflexively, "But I've already slept in it."
She crawled out from inside. What was there to be inauspicious about?
Duanmu Yulin was speechless. He forgot that she came back from the dead in a coffin.
After a pause, he said, "Xun 'er, you've suffered. Those quacks caused you to suffer."
In his opinion, if the doctor didn't make a mistake in his diagnosis and said that a person who wasn't dead was dead, how could this have happened?
Xunmi shook her head slightly, her face sorrowful. "It's my fault. If that scum Duanmu Lun didn't threaten me, I wouldn't have hit the pillar in a moment of anger."
"In the end, I went into a temporary shock and couldn't catch my breath. The doctor came at the wrong time and thought that I was dead."
"If I had calmed down, I wouldn't have … Although I'm just lying to myself, heh …"
"How could that bastard let my father go? Even if I don't know why he wanted to eradicate the Zhong Marquis Estate, I know one thing."
"Even without me, the Zhong Marquis Estate would still be taken down by that bastard. It's just a matter of time."
The tears from the corners of her eyes seeped into her hair, leaving a shallow mark.
Her watery eyes were a little hazy, but they were as clean as fine obsidian, shining brightly.
Duanmu Yulin was bewitched. He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss those beautiful and dazzling eyes. He cherished and cherished them. "I'm sorry."
He thought that he knew the reason. He put her on his lap and slowly told her his story.
"You know who I am, so you must know something about my relationship with the Emperor."
Seeing the person in his arms nod, he continued, "The Emperor is my second brother. At that time, my mother was the Empress and was doted on by my father. When I was born, I was given the title of Crown Prince."
"But at that time, I was too young. Some people were too impatient and killed my mother."
"Father was too heartbroken and forced himself to teach me personally. Needless to say, everyone wants to get rid of me."
"There's no other way. Father directly announced that the next Crown Prince will be the Second Prince, but when I come of age, the Second Prince will have to return the throne to me, unless I don't want it."
"I didn't care about the throne and didn't agree with my father's actions. But at that time, I was only six years old and couldn't change anything."
"Second Brother agreed readily on the surface, but the moment he obtained the throne, he attacked Imperial Father and imprisoned me as well."
"He wanted to kill me, but he didn't expect my father to have a backup plan. If I died, the throne would be passed to the other princes, from the eldest to the youngest."
"If all the princes died, the throne would be inherited by the Princes. So, he had to raise me and couldn't let me die."
"To be safe, my father left three secret edicts. Only one of them has content. The other two are blank to confuse my second brother."
"This secret edict is the proof of my succession. I've already seen the Prime Minister's secret edict. It's blank."
"He found the other one, but it should be blank as well. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dealt with those Princes and Princes so quickly."
Duanmu Yulin spoke very calmly, without any expression on his face. Only his dimmed eyes spoke of his pain.
For the sake of that throne, his mother, who loved him dearly, died. His father, who loved him, died. His brothers were also killed one after another.
All these years, he had been secretly cultivating his own power. Only now did he have the ability to control the imperial court and the army.
Xunmi hugged her husband with heartache. He spoke so calmly, but she wanted to cry.
How could she not have experienced the intrigue of the imperial harem?
A prince who had no one to rely on and couldn't be killed by the current Emperor, but wished he was dead at all times. How could it be described in a few words?
"It's okay. It's all in the past. Let's work hard together and kick that thing out. When the time comes, we'll be masters ourselves."
Xunmi patted her husband's back and comforted him. That dog of an emperor treated her husband like this. She would teach him a lesson tomorrow night.
Duanmu Yulin took advantage of the situation and pressed her firmly into his arms. He buried his head in her neck and breathed in her fresh and elegant fragrance. His restless heart instantly calmed down.
His heavy heart also lightened because of her words.
It clearly contained the most important treasure to him, but it made him feel as if it was weightless. It was all because she had a pair of wings.
A pair of wings that could fly with him. She was the only one who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him and stand in that position.
"Xun 'er, don't leave my side, okay?" Always be with me and share this beautiful land with me.
Xunmi snorted softly as a reply.
Duanmu Yulin was so excited that he wanted to shout, but he was pushed away. He didn't know whether he should laugh or cry at her words before he was perturbed and wondering if she was going back on her words.
"Aiya, don't cuddle and talk about this. I'm still in mourning. Quick, find something."
She jumped into the coffin with red cheeks. Her flustered movements silently expressed her shyness.
Duanmu Yulin rubbed his nose. Xun 'er was really cute. She couldn't do it now, but she could do it after the mourning period. She was indirectly agreeing that he could ask her to marry him after the mourning period.
"That's right, Xun 'er. Father-in-law and mother-in-law's corpses have all been placed in the coffin. They're temporarily placed in the back mountain."
Duanmu Yulin suddenly remembered what Xun 'er had asked him to do at the beginning. Currently, the Zhong Marquis Estate was still in a state of great crime and couldn't be buried.
Even if they were buried, they couldn't erect a tombstone. He knew that Xun 'er definitely wanted the Qi Family to die honorably.
Xunmi, who had just found a bright yellow brocade that looked like a handkerchief, felt her eyes sting again. Big drops of tears fell down.
The cruelest and most sorrowful thing in the world was not being by your side when your loved ones died, and not being able to personally collect their corpses.
