The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife-Chapter 2121 - 2123: Going Along With the Mistake

The foul smell was unbearable, and Ye Zi’an and the others couldn’t help but vomit.

Even those who had fainted earlier were awakened by the stench.

"Ugh..." The Eighth Prince of the Grand Emperor roared angrily, "What is going on? Why does it smell so bad?"

But as soon as he shouted, he met the deep gaze of Baili Yan, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

"Bro... Brother, wh... why are you here so late?"

Baili Yan ignored him, instead he and Mu Shaoling returned to the coffin.

"Look, the face is bulging. Once it fully decomposes, it will fall off."

After a moment, Baili Yan spoke in a deep voice, "The matter has reached this point, we can only continue the mistake. The funeral will proceed as usual tomorrow, but this person cannot lie inside."

"The Grand Emperor has two golden coffins. I suggest using the other coffin for burial. Since this one is already damaged, let’s burn it along with the body."

"Yes, let’s do as State Duke Tong suggested." Baili Yan ordered the young eunuch to handle this matter.

The Eighth Prince beside him was dumbfounded. Upon regaining his senses, he seemed to realize that the Emperor intended to burn the Grand Emperor’s coffin.

Ignoring the foul odor in the hall, he hurriedly exclaimed, "Brother, though Father Emperor might have acted improperly in life, we cannot let his body be lost completely. This is inviting lightning to strike."

"Shut your mouth!" Baili Yan sternly reprimanded, "Anyone who leaks today’s events, I will take their head."

The Eighth Prince wanted to say more but was silenced by the Seventh Prince, who whispered a few words in his ear, causing the Eighth Prince’s eyes to widen immediately.

He then glared menacingly, filled with a murderous rage.

It’s preposterous. How could he, a prince, have been paying respects to someone he didn’t even know? And he had kept vigil for so many days? It infuriated him.

Baili Yan paid no further attention to his anger. Once the young eunuch had cleaned Yunqian Hall, the group left, while the unidentified ashes were taken out of the palace overnight by the young eunuch.

"Rest in the palace tonight. Discuss this matter tomorrow."

"Yes!"

"..."

Yang Chuxia hadn’t seen Ye Zi’an return home, and as dawn approached, she dozed off on the couch.

She was very worried since those who accompanied Ye Zi’an had not come back, and she didn’t know what had happened in the palace.

Finally, at around 5:00 a.m, Yang Chuxia rose, knowing they were supposed to gather at the palace gate to head out of the city.

The trouble was, they couldn’t take a carriage on the way out of the city; they had to walk.

She took Lele to the palace gate, where Ye Zi’an and Mu Shaoling were just coming out of the palace. Although they couldn’t exchange a few words, she was relieved. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Shortly after Ye Zi’an and the others came out, the funeral procession emerged from the palace. Yang Chuxia and the others followed behind the royal entourage, paying their respects outside the Capital City, and then the funeral procession set off for the royal tomb.

Fortunately, the Ye Family had prepared carriages at the city gate in advance. Once it was over, Yang Chuxia returned to the manor in a carriage.

In the afternoon, Lele returned first.

"Why hasn’t your father come back?"

"Mother, Father asked me to tell you he has gone to the palace." Lele looked visibly tired, so she refrained from asking more. "I’ve had some food prepared. Let someone bring it to you later. Go freshen up first and take a good rest. No need to rush to school."

"I understand. I shall retreat now."
