Chapter 262 Death of a Relative

Just as Queen Chu's crisis was over, Prince Jin's condition worsened.

Seeing that time was running out, Emperor Zhaoyuan came to visit in person, and many ministers also came. But except for the emperor, empress, crown prince and others, no one else could see Lu Jin. Su Xianye and Lu Zhanxing could only receive these court officials and thank them.

Lu Jin looked around at his children and grandchildren, but he couldn't see his own granddaughter, even though it was announced to the public a year ago that a coming-of-age ceremony was held for Princess Showa.

In fact, it was another granddaughter who pretended to be Ling'er. She just showed up in disguise. In fact, Ling'er never came back. She said she was traveling outside. He was not sure whether his granddaughter Ling'er was the most beautiful.

He felt so sorry because Ling'er loved the treasures in his collection the most.

But I have never been able to hand it to her personally...

"Father..." Lu Zhanxing felt very sad as he looked at his father who was breathing out more than breathing in.

Although I came here halfway and this father is not that good, he is still my father after all. Now that my father is leaving, I feel mixed emotions.

Lu Jin's eyes were somewhat dazed and distracted.

Amid the surprised shouts of Lu Zhanxing and others, the scene gradually came into focus.

When a person is about to die, his mind becomes clearer than ever before.

This is what is called a last glimmer of light.

"Ah Xing, you are my father's pride..."

Throughout his life, he always said that his son was not good, but in fact, his son was very good and excellent. Having two kings in the same family was enough to prove his excellence.

Hearing this, Lu Zhanxing's eyes suddenly turned red, his throat choked, and he couldn't help but cry.

Her father always said that she was naughty and never seriously recognized her once. This time, she could actually hear her father's recognition of her.

Lu Jin's mind became clearer, his face became more rosy, and he miraculously had the strength to speak: "In the future, your mother and everything in the mansion will be handed over to you. Your father knows that you can do it.

And Ling'er... Tell her that Grandfather loves her very much. I have many treasures in my storehouse, and I will leave them all to her..."

"Father..."

"Grandpa..."

"Uncle..."

The children began to shout, and the others also had tears in their eyes, full of reluctance.

Mrs. Luo came to watch over him despite being sick, and she refused to rest. She kept crying and changed her handkerchiefs so many times.

"Grandpa, I'm back!"

Ling'er's voice came from outside the door. Everyone made way for her and saw Ling'er, dressed in red and with a stunning appearance, standing at the door. She was as beautiful as a fairy.

Lu Jin's cloudy eyes lit up, and then he grinned: "It's Ling'er, you're back."

Ling'er walked forward, knelt down in front of her grandfather's bed, and held his skinny hand with tears in her eyes: "Grandfather, Ling'er is back!"

"Okay, okay, Ling'er has grown up and is a great beauty..."

"Yes, Ling'er has lived up to the great name that Grandfather gave her. Grandfather is really a man of vision."

Lu Jin smiled, his eyes moistened as he looked at the family members in the room, full of attachment and reluctance.

"You guys go out, I want to talk to your grandmother... cough cough cough..."

Lu Zhanxing and others could only wait outside. Luo stayed and could not stop crying. The man lying on the bed and about to die was her beloved husband, the man with whom she wanted to spend her life.

The first time she saw him, she was attracted by his handsome appearance which was comparable to Pan An, and she was willing to marry him in exchange for a favor. Now, her husband is about to die.

"Li Niang," Lu Jin held her hand and said with a smile, "I have never told you that I was attracted to you from the first moment I saw you. When my grandfather asked me to marry you, I was happy in my heart, but I was afraid of being called a beauty, so I could only pretend that I was not happy. In fact, I have always liked you..."

Luo's tears slipped down her eyes without her knowing, and soon blurred her vision. She said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I've been worried that you don't like me..."

Although she was joking, she was still heartbroken. She sat down beside the bed, held his hand, and choked out, "Husband... wait for me, I will be with you soon..."

At this moment, she finally felt relieved, it turned out that her husband also loved her.

But the secret of letting her youngest daughter dress up as a boy will be buried deep in her heart forever.

Until the early morning, at the end of November in the fifteenth year of Zhaoyuan, Prince Jin Lu Jin passed away at the age of seventy-six!

But less than a day after Lu Jin's death, Luo refused to drink a single drop of water and said goodbye to her children and relatives one by one.

"Okay, my child, thank you for your hard work. I'm afraid I can't stand it anymore..."

"Mom, I'm not tired. I'm very happy to be your child. You can go down and accompany father without worry. I will lead the family well..."

The Luo family is on the verge of collapse, and Lu Zhanxing is mentally prepared.

The mother and daughter talked on the phone, and that night, Luo went there.

Everyone in Prince Yi's mansion wore mourning clothes and hoisted white sails...

The emperor and empress arranged a grand funeral for Prince Jin and his wife, and many ministers came to the mourning hall to pay their respects.

Because Prince Yi's palace was at its peak both in the court and among the people, no one dared to cause trouble.

Only after the wake was over did Lu Zhanxing personally bury his parents in the imperial mausoleum.

Time flies, it is the twelfth month and the weather is extremely cold.

The end of the year is approaching, but Lu Zhanxing and others have to observe mourning, so no meat or fish can be served in the house. The cooks can only rack their brains to make vegetarian dishes in many different ways.

After Mu Qingli came back, she went to the Heavenly Punishment Division to get busy, while Lu Zhanxing did not go there.

Because he had to observe mourning for three years, Lu Zhanxing asked Mu Qingli to put all the handsome men in the West City mansion into the Heavenly Punishment Division and let Mu Qingli be in charge of them. He couldn't just let them wait for his favor, right?

Upon learning that Lu Zhanxing was going to dismiss these handsome men, Mu Qingli was very happy, as this also proved that Ah Xing was the only one left.

When Lu Zhanyan in the palace learned that Xingdi had dismissed those handsome men in the West City mansion, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Xingdi finally stopped messing around.

As the year is coming to an end, Ling'er decides to spend the New Year with her parents and then return to Fuxi Palace.

She still has great things to accomplish.

Bai Yu's title did not change, but his rank was promoted to Thunder General.

He has his own general's mansion, and because Prince Jin and his wife passed away during this period, he had no chance to talk to Ling'er.

Finally today he came to Prince Yi's Mansion and met Ling'er.

The girl in white stood quietly, her clothes fluttering in the breeze. She had a string of sandalwood beads on her wrist and a white hairpin flower in her hair, like a fairy from heaven.

Because her grandparents had passed away, she made bracelets with the beads her adoptive father gave her, but she could only make three strings.

She gave one string to her father and one to herself, and she didn't know whether to give the other one to her mother or her adoptive father, so she had to put it aside for now.

She and her father chanted sutras and played beads every day to calm their sorrowful hearts.

"Sister Ling'er!"

Ling'er looked at this childhood playmate and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, how are you?"

The boy has grown up, and his fierce aura and the bodhi beads in his hands make him even more charming.

When the two met, they were both amazed by each other's looks.

"Sister Ling'er, I know you want to observe mourning, but it doesn't matter, I will wait for you!"

He proposed to Uncle Xing to marry Ling'er, but Uncle Xing said that Ling'er would not marry a husband, but she would marry a husband.

If Ling'er is willing to marry you, I have no objection.

So, he came to ask Ling'er what she felt.
