He finally remembered who this man was, the dead crown prince of Xia Zhou Dynasty.
The eunuch looked excited, he quickly walked to Chen Shu and knelt straight down, he lowered his head, his tone was respectful to the extreme, “Greetings to the Crown Prince!”
Chen Shu paused, and he looked down. He had some impression of this eunuch, because this eunuch was from the East Palace.
Chen Shu had a complicated expression. After his death, the servants and eunuchs in the East Palace served only Ye Sui.
When Chen Shu thought of Ye Sui, his heart flooded with a fine sour feeling, he closed his eyes and opened his mouth extremely slowly, “Crown Princess …… is she okay?”
Ye Sui was the prince’s consort, even if he died, the people in the palace would treat her well and she would live a good life. It was with such a belief that he would stay at ease in Wang Si city.
Speaking of Ye Sui, Chen Shu couldn’t restrain the longing in his heart. She had already been engraved in his bones and blood.
The eunuch thought of Ye Sui’s death, he dared not look up, and whispered, “Her highness is dead.”
As the voice fell, Chen Shu opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and his voice trembled slightly, “What did you say? Say what you just said again!”
The eunuch lowered his head, and his voice was even lower, but extremely clear, “Your highness, please restrain your grief, the Crown Princess is indeed dead!”
The blood on Chen Shu’s face faded in an instant, his thin lips were pale, his dark eyes gradually darkened, and he asked in a low and painful voice, “How did she… die?”
The eunuch’s voice of grief and indignation sounded, “The day you died on the battlefield, a fire broke out in the East Palace. The slaves were too late to put out the fire, and the princess was burned to death.”
“The East Palace was ruined.”
There was a deep sorrow in Chen Shu’s eyes, the two of them actually died on the same day.
He left her on his wedding night to fight for the kingdom, he thought he would return, he also thought she would be safe in the palace, but things were unpredictable.
He and she had come to such a tragic end that he should have known and he should have been with her.
Chen Shu’s voice was so soft and weak, like a very thin thread, it seems that it would break in the next second, “I didn’t protect her, it’s my fault, it’s my fault…”
Chen Shu turned around numbly, his body stiffened without any aim in his eyes. He walked forward slowly, his lips pressed tightly, and every curve of his face engraved with despair.
He was dead, his heartbeat and breathing had long since stopped, but why does he still felt desperate?
The eunuch expressed his concern and eagerly called out, “His Highness, Your Highness…”
But Chen Shu couldn’t hear any sound anymore. At this time, he was like a silent shadow, and nothing would wave his heart anymore.
Chen Shu walked in a daze, not knowing where he was going, and he didn’t care where he would end up.
After he arrived in Wang Si city, his expression was neither happy nor angry. Only when he learned that Ye Sui had died today, did his eyes become emotional.
Chen Shu’s gaze suddenly stopped. He thought that Ye Sui and himself both died in vain, so she should also come to Wang Si city.
There was finally a gleam of light in Chen Shu’s hollow eyes.
From that day on, the gates of Wang Si city were opened. When Yin Bing brought new people to the dead, Chen Shu would pay attention to them. He wanted to see if that person was Ye Sui.
Chen Shu just came to the gate of the city every day. He came more often, and everyone else felt a little strange.
It was strange that the person who never cared about anything, who was so isolated, would start to care about someone.
Someone couldn’t help but ask him, “You often sit here, who are you waiting for?”
Chen Shu’s gaze fell on the city gate, his expression and his voice was extremely gentle, “I’m waiting for my wife.”
On this day, the city gate opened again, and Chen Shu looked over carefully. Ye Sui was not the one who came, and he was a little disappointed.
After Chen Shu saw that the person who came to the city was not Ye Sui, he would turn around and leave, go to other places in Wang Si city to find Ye Sui.
Ye Sui either hadn’t come yet, or her soul was already here. He repeated this behavior every day.
