I have a lot of things going on recently, and my writing state is not very good. It often takes twice as long to write the same number of words, so I will update every two days. Please forgive me and continue to support~~~

PS: I have always been a lazy person. Although I have always drooled over other people's gorgeous chapter names, I can't get enough energy when it comes to my own volumes, chapter names, and so on.

It didn’t take much time, but I saved all the time to write the text, and I definitely didn’t play with it! If anyone thinks of a more appropriate and beautiful chapter name, please leave a message to me, just say "I suggest a certain name for a certain chapter", it is suitable

If so, I will change it, but I won’t return it after I use it. It was given to me for free. Before leaving a message, I have to be prepared to never return. Hahaha~~~~~If no one leaves a message, I will leave it as a gift.

Everyone can put up with those useless chapter names and forget about it~~

——————————————————————This is the dividing line that I forgot about in the previous chapter————————————————

The death of the Empress Dowager is not a surprise. She was old, her mind was not very clear many years ago, and her health was not strong. The Ministry of Etiquette had already done some funeral arrangements in advance.

The funeral was well prepared, and everything was in accordance with the rules, so the funeral arrangements were properly arranged, and there was no panic because the Minister of Rites had just been changed a few years ago.

After the mourning tones were sounded, the entire Liang Dynasty immediately entered the period of national mourning. The emperor followed Liang etiquette and observed mourning for 30 days, and the royal family also offered sacrifices.

At the same time, this incident also brought several additional consequences.

First of all, Xie Yu's case was sentenced to beheading, but due to national mourning, he was not executed and was instead sentenced to exile to Qianzhou. He set off two months later. All the nobles in the Xie family were stripped of their status as common people.

The marriage between Liang and Chu was also suspended, and only marriage contracts were exchanged. They could marry after three years. Da Chu took the initiative to propose the marriage this time, originally to form a good relationship and free up his hands to pacify the Burmese and barbarians. Now that the other party is mourning, it is necessary to follow the etiquette.

Except for self-defense, it was not allowed to take the initiative to raise troops abroad. This was considered to have achieved the goal, so she had no other words to say and prepared to return home after condolences. On the one hand, Princess Jingning mourned the death of her great-grandmother, and on the other hand, the wedding date was postponed and canceled.

He took a breath, and for a moment he felt a mixture of sadness and joy, with mixed emotions. On the contrary, he cried to death even more.

Princess Liyang, who was living in seclusion in a mountain temple, immediately returned to the capital to observe her mourning after hearing the news. Xiao Jingrui and Xie Bi were neither knighted nor qualified to be their companions at this time, but the deceased old man had paid tribute to everyone over the years.

The younger generation were all very protective of her, and it was unjustifiable not to come and pay homage out of love. Therefore, despite their awkward status and completely different circumstances after returning, they still accompanied their mother back to Beijing and lived in Princess Liyang's Mansion.

The raging party struggle was temporarily stopped amidst the funeral bells. During the thirty-day wake period, all princes must stay in the palace. They are not allowed to return to the palace, are not allowed to bathe, have no beds, and no food.

They knelt down and prayed every day, and cried and offered sacrifices in the morning and evening. How could the pampered prince and Prince Yu endure this hardship? They could hold on at first, but then they couldn't hold on any longer. As long as Emperor Liang was away, their faces would become more sad.

If the number is reduced, in order to please the master, his subordinates will also do some illegal actions to please the master. Because this filial piety is really strict, if you don't think of something, you may die before the wake period, so you still have to do it.

Your own body is important. Anyway, the two of them broke the rules together, so no one can sue the other, and no one of the ministers accompanying the sacrifice dared to say anything wrong about them. At the beginning of the two of them, although the other princes were more restrained, they also

It was inevitable that he would follow suit, but Prince Jing had a military physique, was pure and filial, and was extremely grieving and courteous during the wake. He was meticulous and very different from other princes. Because Prince Jing was only granted the title of county prince, he rarely followed him on solemn occasions.

The prince and Prince Yu were standing together. They had stayed in the same hall of filial piety for thirty days in a row. In the eyes of the high-ranking ministers who accompanied the sacrifice, the different performances were really the difference between good and bad.

Mei Changsu performed the thirty-day filial piety ceremony in his own room. Although Dr. Yan knew that doing so would be extremely harmful to his body, if he was not allowed to express his condolences, he would be afraid that it would linger in his heart, which would be even worse, so he also

He could only prepare it carefully. Because he only wanted to eat white porridge, Li Gang and Aunt Ji tried their best to add some nourishing herbs to the porridge without telling him, and were careful not to be noticed by him. Fortunately, Mei Changsu

I was in a daze of sadness, but I didn't pay attention at all.

Since all the big shots were trapped in the palace, the entire imperial city was closed during the day, night curfews were put under curfew, and security was strictly enforced everywhere. For fear of some lewd, robbery, and murder cases during the mourning period, the past thirty days were extremely quiet.

No unexpected incident occurred. Li Gang and Zhen Ping, who had recently arrived in the capital, were in charge, and Mr. Thirteen was in charge outside. The situation was still under control, trying not to let the filial sect leader worry at all.

When the wake period expired, a funeral was held. The Queen Mother, who had lived through four dynasties, was nearly a hundred years old, and was deeply loved by her subjects and descendants, was sent to the Wei Mausoleum to be buried with her husband who had preceded her for more than forty years. The coffin ceremony

Driving out of Miyagi Suzaku Avenue, mournful music was played all the way and paper money was flying. The high and sad music could also be clearly heard in Su's house, which was a block away from the main road. Mei Changsu knelt on the porch and saluted, with red eyes.

, but did not cry.

After the funeral, the emperor returned to the throne. But because everyone was exhausted from the torture, they just went through the motions and went home to see their relatives, take a good bath, eat a meal and sleep.

After Mei Changsu had been suffering for a month, she was inevitably sick. Fortunately, Dr. Yan was always there to support her. It was not as dangerous as the previous few times. She had some symptoms of a small amount of blood, fever, cough, night sweats and dizziness. When an attack occurred, she took a dose of

Dosage of medicine can also be suppressed by force.

After sleeping all afternoon, Mei Changsu woke up at night. He sat on the bedside with his quilt and looked at the Feiliu origami figure. His eyes turned around and caught a glimpse of a white note on the case. It was from Princess Nihuang who came from Yunnan by the special envoy Fei Qiyao.

It arrived yesterday, with only four words written on it: "Please take care, brother". I was still sad when I read it, so I put it aside. I guess Li Gang and others didn't dare to deal with it casually, so they kept it on the desk.

.

"Fei Liu, bring the post."

The young man's figure fluttered and he quickly completed the task. Mei Changsu unfolded the post and stared at the four handsome words hiding the wild and ruthless characters. He became a half-day god and asked Fei Liu to move the lamp over and take off the gauze cover.

, put the post against the lamp flame, light it, and watch it slowly turn into ashes.

"Burned?" Fei Liu blinked, a little surprised.

"It doesn't matter," Mei Changsu smiled lightly, "There are some words that can be engraved in your heart."

The young man tilted his head, as if he couldn't understand, but he was not someone who would worry about this. He quickly sat on his small stool and continued to fold the paper man. Probably because the head of the paper man could not be folded well, and he couldn't.

He lost his temper impatiently, threw it to the ground, stomped on it twice, and loudly shouted: "I hate it!"

Mei Changsu waved to him to bring a new piece of paper and sit beside the bed, then slowly folded it and folded it, folding out a beautiful paper figure with a head and four limbs. If you pull this hand, the other one will follow.

Moving together, Fei Liu was very happy. A smile appeared on his face and he suddenly said: "Lie to me!"

These two words were really meaningless, but Mei Changsu understood them well. He gave him a reproachful look and said: "The origami method that Brother Lin Chen taught you is correct. I didn't lie to you. Fei Liu didn't do it himself."

Learn not to accuse people casually!"

Fei Liu looked at the paper man in his hand aggrievedly and whispered: "It's different!"

"There are many ways to make origami people. The one I know how to do was taught to me by my great-grandmother... When I was a child, she often made me origami people, paper cranes, etc., but I didn't feel like it at the time.

, always want to slip away from her and run out to ride horses..."

"When you were a child?" The young man was very confused. He probably couldn't imagine that Brother Su was also a child, so his mouth was slightly open.

"It was a time when we were much younger than we Fei Liu are now..."

"Wow?!" Fei Liu exclaimed.

"Bring another piece of paper, Brother Su will fold a peacock for you."

Fei Liu was very happy and specially picked out a piece of beige paper that he liked best. Without blinking, he watched Mei Changsu's every move very carefully.

When the peacock's tail gradually took shape, Fei Liu suddenly turned his head and shouted: "Uncle!"

Mei Changsu was startled, stopped moving his hands, and ordered: "Fei Liu, go get the uncle in."

"Peacock!"

"When uncle leaves, Brother Su will continue to fold for you."

Because his beloved origami activity was rudely interrupted, Fei Liu was very dissatisfied with the culprit Meng Zhi. When he brought him in, his handsome face was as dark as if it had been stained by ink, and the coldness in his body could almost make several hailstorms fall.

Meng Zhi was confused, wondering where he had offended this little guy again.

"Brother Meng, sit down." Mei Changsu handed the peacock semi-finished product to Fei Liu and asked him to play aside. He leaned over and sat up a little more. Meng Zhi quickly came over to help him.

"Brother Meng has been working hard for a month and finally changed his shift. I'm afraid Miyagi City will still be busy. If you have time, why don't you go back home to rest?"

"I don't trust you," Meng Zhi looked at him carefully under the light and saw that he was getting thinner and thinner. He couldn't help but feel sad and advised, "Although you and the Empress Dowager have a deep relationship, she has already enjoyed her advanced age, so she is happy no matter what.

Mang, you still have to take care of yourself."

Mei Changsu lowered his eyes and said slowly: "You don't need to persuade me, I understand the truth, I just can't help it... The last time I saw my grandma, she held my hand and called me Xiao Shu, whether she really recognized it or not

, she just called it casually in confusion. In short, she must be thinking of Xiao Shu in her heart before calling out that name... I have always hoped that she would wait for me, but now I don’t even have this thought anymore..."

"The Empress Dowager is wise enough to feel your admiration for you a long time ago. She has loved you the most since she was a child, and she must be reluctant to let you be so sad for her. I heard that when the eldest princess of Jinyang gave birth to you, she

I can't wait for you to enter the palace after the full moon, so I rush to the Lin Mansion to see you in person. When I was a guard in the palace, I often saw the Queen Mother with a group of children, but the one she preferred the most was always you.

.Although at that time, you were really naughty..."

"Really?" Mei Changsu's eyes sparkled slightly, but a warm smile appeared on his lips, "I often think of those things in the past these days... Every time I got into trouble, it was my great-grandmother who came to save me.

Later, my father discovered that as long as he didn’t spank me, my grandma would not interfere too much, so he thought of some punishment methods that, although not spanking, would be more unbearable for me than spanking..."

"I know, I know," Meng Zhi also showed a nostalgic smile, "One time, you caused something...probably broke an important thing of the late emperor. Lin Shuai was very angry. He was obviously accompanying him.

Hunting ground, but he refused to let you learn riding and shooting with me. Instead, he gave you a bunch of children and punished you to take care of them. You were not allowed to make any mistakes. You were still a big child at that time. "

Mei Changsu nodded, apparently deeply impressed by this incident, "At that time, I would rather go fight bears by myself than lead a bunch of noisy boys. Jing Rui was quiet, but that Yu

Jin, running around without stopping for a moment..."

"So you tied him to a tree with a rope?" Meng Zhi raised his eyebrows, "It made King Jing Yong, who was kind enough to accompany you, take the blame and say he was the one who tied him..."

"But in the end I was the one who was punished to kneel, until my great-grandmother rescued me... I felt very aggrieved at that time. I thought, even though Jingyan had already said it was him, why did he still punish me..." Mei Changsu smiled with a smile.

, started coughing again, and only stopped after half a day. He panted slightly and continued, "When I think about these things, my heart is like an ice ball being roasted by the fire. It feels warm at one moment, and feels cold at the other...

"

"Xiao Shu..." Meng Zhi felt a twinge of pain in his heart. He wanted to persuade him, but he couldn't find the right words. The man made of iron could not help but have red circles in his eyes.

"Don't be sad," Mei Changsu comforted him and said, "My great-grandmother is now buried in peace. I have also gone through the saddest few days and am much better now. I just want someone to talk to me about the past.

, Now you are the only one, Brother Meng, so it is inevitable to say a few more words..."

Meng Zhi sighed and patted his shoulder, "Actually, I am very conflicted in my heart. I want to talk to you more about the past and let you remember that I am not just Su Zhe, but I am still Lin Shu, but I am afraid.

Talking too much will make you sad."

"I understand your good intentions," Mei Changsu raised his eyes with a deep look, "But neither Lin Shu nor Su Zhe are made of paper or clay, so I can still bear this torture.

.There are still so many things to do in the future, how can we fail halfway? Brother Meng, I believe that I can reach the last step, and you have to believe in me too."

When Meng Zhi heard him say "the last step", his heart trembled involuntarily. He thought about it and didn't know why. He forced a smile and said, "Of course I believe you. With your talent and character, what can't you accomplish?"

Mei Changsu smiled warmly at him, leaned back on the pillow, coughed twice more, and urged: "You should go back early, and spend more time with your sister-in-law. Look, I'm fine now, there's nothing to worry about."

, after a day off from changing shifts, the commander-in-chief should be busy again."

Meng Zhi saw that it was indeed getting late, and was afraid of delaying Mei Changsu's rest, so he stood up as instructed, and while standing he gave the last instruction: "There are urgent matters. Your recovery is the most important thing now, and other things must be put behind.

There’s no rush anyway, it’s safer to take things slowly.”

Mei Changsu nodded in agreement, not allowing him to stay any longer, and summoned Fei Liu to see off the guest. The young man was anxious to fold the peacock, and carried out this order very efficiently, almost pushing and beating Meng Zhi away.

.

It was already the second watch. Mei Changsu listened to the distant sound of bangs on the street, caressed the mourning clothes on his body, and tried to steady his somewhat swaying mind.

Now that you have taken the first step, you must persist until the end...

The young man swooped back and handed over half of the peacock. In fact, only the final steps were left, folding and turning, and then unfolding the fan-shaped tail feathers, and the shape and spirit were revealed. Amid Fei Liu's joyful exclamation, Mei Changsu slowly handed over the peacock.
Chapter completed!
