This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

The second wife and Zhong Li personally wiped the old lady's body and put on a very decent dress for her.

The second wife also took out the old lady's favorite piece of forehead. This forehead was the birthday present that Zhong Li gave her this year. She had already been erected, but she still embroidered a forehead with her own hands. The heart is precious, and the old lady is naturally very happy.

The second wife choked up while helping her put it on: "The old lady has been reluctant to wear this forehead, and she cherishes it very much. She must be happy to wear it today."

Hearing this, Zhong Li's tears, which she managed to hold back, fell again.

The second wife consciously said the wrong thing, and did not dare to say any more, she only advised: "Miss, don't cry, you are pregnant, don't cry so badly."

In the early morning of the next day, the second wife sent someone to the old lady's mother's house to report the funeral. The old lady came from a famous family, her parents and elder brothers have all passed away, and only one younger brother is still alive. After learning of her death, he hurriedly brought someone over, and the room was full of sorrowful cries.

Before entering the mortuary, the children and grandchildren have to clean the face of the old lady, and the younger generations also need to pay their respects to the old lady and say goodbye to the old lady. Pei Xing and Zhong Li also said goodbye to the old lady one by one and let her go all the way.

Cheng'er also knew that she would never see her grandmother again in the future. The little guy's eyes were also a little red, and the more he wiped away the tears, the tip of his nose was red.

He also asked the maid to find paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and drew a picture for the old lady. In the painting, besides the old lady, there was also him. He lay on the old lady's lap, raised his face, and talked to her. He has only learned painting for a year, and his paintings are naturally not very good. He painted several pictures before choosing one that he was satisfied with.

When saying goodbye to the old lady, Cheng'er had tears in her eyes, and put this painting, which she could not see, in the old lady's hand.

Cheng'er talked to her grandmother for a while before leaving. When she turned around, the little guy's tears also fell, and his little shoulders twitched. He seldom cried like this, and he obviously understood the meaning of death. what.

When Mother Zhong died, he didn't understand anything. When his sister was crying, he smiled and poked Zhong Li's cheek, saying that her sister was shy.

Now that he has grown up and understands the meaning of parting, it was the first time that Zhong Li saw him cry so hard. Cheng'er hugged her, and when she felt her sister's fetal movement, the little guy was stunned, his little hand touched it, and the little nephew moved again, as if to comfort him.

Cheng'er took a breath, feeling a little better in her heart.

Pei Xing was also standing beside them, but at this moment, Ling Liu hurried over and said in a low voice beside Pei Xing's ear: "Your Majesty, Xiao Sheng just said to go to the clean room, and he escaped from the clean room."

Pei Xing frowned, "Didn't you send two people to guard him?"

"The two of them were waiting outside the clean room. Seeing that he didn't come out for a long time, they went in and took a look. Unexpectedly, there was an extra tunnel in the clean room, leading directly to the outside of the mansion."

This tunnel was dug by Xiao Sheng's personal servant Liu Shun for a year. He obviously knew that Pei Xing would ask his master to send the old lady the last ride before digging this tunnel.

Pei Xing's expression was a little cold, "Let Jin Yiwei check it out in person, and then send a group of people to guard at the city gate, strengthen the defense, and make sure not to let him out of the city."

Ling Liu responded with a sound, and stepped back respectfully.

When Xiao Sheng dressed up in disguise and arrived in front of the city gate, the city gate was already under martial law, and even if he got a guide, it would be difficult to escape. After all, many people knew him.

Xiao Sheng had to hide again.

Zhenbeihou Mansion.

The coffin was prepared early in the morning, and after everyone said goodbye to the old lady, she was placed in the coffin. The second lady also arranged for the mourning hall, setting up tablets, incense cases, etc.

Zhong Li didn't go back to the palace, she was pregnant, and when she was crying, others persuaded her to rest for a while. Two minutes later, Cheng'er couldn't hold on, her small head rested on Zhong Li's shoulder and fell asleep.

He hasn't slept for more than ten hours, which is really not easy for a child. The second wife said, "Let the servant take him down to sleep for a while."

The second wife asked the servant girl to take the children down, but did not let them cook with them.

After the children were all down, the second wife took Zhong Li's hand and whispered, "My aunt didn't sleep all night last night, and she didn't close her eyes during the day, and I've been up again tonight, it's been three quarters of an hour, You still have to keep the spirit for three days, if you don’t rest, how can your body hold up, even if you don’t think about yourself, think about your children.”

Zhong Li felt uncomfortable in her heart, and refused to rest, she just shook her head, indicating that the second wife did not need to persuade her, she was soft on the outside and firm on the inside.

The second wife didn't know what to say, she just sighed.

Pei Xing knelt on the other side. He had been kneeling for a long time, and he felt uncomfortable in his knees. He was afraid that she would not be able to hold it. Pei Xing stood up, came to her side, and persuaded: "Go and rest, you are pregnant. In the body, grandmother will feel distressed when she sees you like this."

Zhong Li shook her head, her pale little face was full of determination. Neither Gu Zhihui nor Gu Zhiqing had a rest. She would not look good when she went to rest. Besides, the old lady had been treating her well, and Zhong Li really wanted to keep her spirits up. She whispered, "Your Majesty, don't worry about your concubine. When you really can't stand it, your concubine will rest."

The baby in the womb was very well behaved and did not make a fuss. Although he was tired, Zhong Li insisted on persevering on the first night of the wake.

Pei Xing knelt beside her and hugged her. In the dead of night, everyone in the mourning hall was a little tired, and the crying gradually became smaller.

Pei Xing asked people to rest on his body for a while.

On the third day, Zhong Li was still standing in front of the spirit, barely eating anything, and his lips were cracked. Pei Xing looked at him and felt distressed. Seeing that he couldn't go, he stopped by the waist and hugged him directly.

Zhong Li struggled for a while, but Pei Xing had no intention of letting go.

He directly carried her to the Zhaixing Pavilion and pressed her to the couch. Zhong Li has not closed her eyes for more than twenty hours, and her eyes are full of red blood.

Pei Xing was naturally distressed, he pulled up the quilt, covered her, and persuaded in a hoarse voice: "Li'er, you sleep for a while."
