    Diok said that he understood Chen Zaixing's grief, but he still had to carefully remind Chen Zaixing that although Her Majesty the Princess has left, His Majesty the King still cannot do without a loyal and experienced advisor like Mr. Chen. If possible,  He hopes that Mr. Chen will not abandon the kingdom and continue to assume the responsibility of consulting on state affairs.  When describing these words, Diok always emphasized the words "consultant" and "consultation" intentionally or unintentionally.  Chen Zaixing immediately stated that he had been struck down by the great pain of losing his wife. He now had neither the will nor the ability to shoulder his responsibilities. As for helping the king govern the country, he believed that there were many loyal and experienced nobles and officials in the kingdom.  can shoulder this responsibility. The Kingdom of Myanmar will not stop moving forward just because of the death of Her Majesty the Princess. For example, Counselor Diok, you are a very good consultant, and Wu Maung Kee can also stand up and shoulder this responsibility.  As for himself, let him return to his manor to mourn his deceased wife.  As one of the parties involved, Luo Qin could not get in the conversation at all. It was even difficult for him to fully understand the true meaning hidden under the gorgeous diplomatic rhetoric of Chen Zaixing and Diok.  But this cannot be blamed on him. It is too difficult for a seventeen-year-old boy who has not participated in actual political operations to understand this.  Emotionally, he hopes that Chen Zaixing can stay and continue to help him. After all, he is his sister's husband and the person who helped him regain the throne six years ago. But on the other hand, he feels sad for his brother-in-law's performance.  He was happy. In a sense, his sister died so early because he gave birth to an heir for him. This man could only be worthy of his dead sister if he showed enough grief.  As a result, it was not until Chen Zaixing went to pick up the baby boy who lost his mother just after birth that Luo Qin found the opportunity to face him alone.  ¡°Brother-in-law, I, I¡ª¡± Luo Qin wanted to say something, but got stuck mid-sentence.  "Stop talking, I understand what you want to say!" Chen Zaixing reached out and stroked Luo Qin's hair, just like he did during his escape six years ago. Then he hugged the young man fiercely into his arms and whispered: "  She is a good wife, a good sister, a good daughter, and a good mother. It is a pity that fate is unfair to her. Let us live well and miss her! When you have a child, you must tell him what a wonderful person he once was.  Good aunt, if this aunt is still alive, she will love him so much, she must tell him!" "Definitely!" Luo Qin closed his eyes tightly to prevent tears from flowing out.  Finally, Chen Zaixing pushed the young man out of his arms, patted him hard on the shoulder, turned around and walked quickly towards the carriage outside the door.  "Sir, are you going to the manor now?" Oba asked in a low voice.  Chen Zaixing is sitting on the carriage, and his daughter Chen Songqing is sitting opposite him, looking at her father opposite with curious eyes. At her age, it is difficult to understand the true meaning of death, and naturally she cannot understand the grief of adults.  Chen Zaixing reached out and rubbed his daughter's hair, thought for a moment, and ordered in a low voice: "Simba, go and prepare a sedan. I will change it when we get to the city gate." Simba's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Chen Zaixing's intention.  Meaning, he didn't say anything, nodded and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Chen Zaixing.  "Immediately order all mercenaries to be on alert. All ammunition will be distributed to the soldiers. Half of them will be in the barracks and the remaining half will be in the manor. Also, send someone to Ren'an Qiang and notify the Burmese Colonel.  The situation in Myanmar may be unstable, and we need their support if necessary!" "Yes!" Chen Zaixing leaned on the leather cushion of the carriage, his eyes dark and incomprehensible. No one knew what he was thinking deep in his heart at this time.  , Chen Songqing, who was usually lively and naughty, seemed to be infected by the atmosphere in the carriage at this time, and sat quietly in his seat without saying a word.  That night, Chen Zaixing and his party returned to Babu Manor safely. He immediately changed into mourning clothes, personally sent his wife's body to the crematorium next to the lake, and lit the pyre himself.  Looking at the soaring flames, Chen Zaixing's eyes were solemn, and the monks' chanting sounds could be heard in his ears. The rich chanting sounds were mixed with the sound of the wind by the lake, as if even the elves in nature were chanting in some unknown language.  Chen Zaixing listened carefully for a while, but couldn't tell what he was talking about.  He sighed and whispered: "Alin, do you have anything else you want to tell me? Hey, you are always like this, hiding everything in your heart and wanting to bear it alone, even after leaving  I still can¡¯t let go! I¡¯ve been running around outside all these years, and I¡¯ve spent so little time with you and my children. I thought I could make up for it in the future, but I didn¡¯t expect you to leave so early¡ª¡±  Here, Chen Zaixing was already crying. After he came back, he suddenly learned that his beloved wife had passed away, but he had to suppress his emotions and arrange everything properly.It was only when I returned to the manor that I vented my anger. The cries were mixed with the crackling sound of burning wood, echoing in the night sky, and it sounded even more miserable.  After more than an hour, the fire on the pyre gradually extinguished. Two monks who were responsible for collecting the bones walked onto the crematorium, carefully picked up the remaining ashes into a beautiful porcelain jar, and presented them to Chen Zaixing.  Chen Zaixing looked lovingly at the porcelain jar containing his wife's ashes, and said softly: "Alin, I know that the two children and Luo Qin you couldn't let go of the most before you left. Don't worry, as long as I, Chen Zaixing, am still here, those  "Young people should not try to play tricks." "Two days later, an uninvited guest came to the Babu Manor, but it was Privy Council Counselor Diok. After meeting with Chen Zaixing, he made two requests: First,  Invite the other party to attend the state funeral ceremony as the husband of Her Majesty the Eldest Princess; secondly, hand over the body of Her Majesty the Eldest Princess and bury her in a traditional royal cemetery.  "There is no problem in participating in the state funeral ceremony. But -" Chen Zaixing said this and changed his voice: "I have cremated Alin's body. I plan to bury her on a small mound by the lake of the manor, which was where she was during her lifetime.  My favorite place, Alin was most afraid of being alone when she was alive. This way, my children and I can be closer to her and spend more time with her!¡± ¡°This¡ª¡± Diok smiled bitterly: ¡°Mr. Chen, I understand very well!  Your love for the late eldest princess, but according to the tradition of the kingdom, the royal family must be buried in a special royal cemetery, and there are also special monks to worship. " "All the royal family?"  Chen Zaixing frowned: "Probably not. There are so many royal bloodlines, there's no reason why they should all be buried in one place!" At this point, Chen Zaixing's face clearly showed the expression "Don't coax me."  "It is true that not all members of the royal family will be buried in special cemeteries, but Her Majesty, the eldest princess, has been in charge of state affairs for many years and defeated the traitor Xipao. She is well-known among the people and is not an ordinary member of the royal family!" After listening to Diok's explanation!  , Chen Zaixing lowered his head and thought for a long time. Just when Diok thought that the other party was about to say yes, Chen Zaixing suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Alin is a member of the royal family, and she is my wife and the mother of my child. I believe her.  I prefer to be with the people closest to me. As for worshiping and making offerings, you can do it in the manor!" After saying that, he turned and walked into the house. Seeing this, Diok hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Chen, this matter concerns the nobles of the kingdom!  Please think twice about what you think of the people!" "What do you think?" Chen Zaixing turned around with a sneer on his face: "What do you think of A Lin or me?  Just look at the feudal monarchs in India and you will know what will happen to those nobles who are eating from people's plates. As for me, I don't care what some people think of me!  Come and see us off!" Having said this, Chen Zaixing turned around and entered the room.  When Diok saw this, he had no choice but to leave sadly.  The unhappy expression on Diok's face disappeared as soon as he got on the elephant, and was replaced by the pride of having succeeded. He tapped his knees rhythmically with his knuckles and said with a smile: "Okay, very good."  Okay! Sure enough, Chen Zaixing refused to hand over the body of the eldest princess. When I came here, I was still thinking about how to get him to refuse. I didn't expect it to be so easy. It seems that the good times these years have made Chen Zaixing a little forgetful!"  , Diok couldn't help but laugh in a low voice.  ¡°Sir Counselor, are you going back to your home or to the palace now?¡± A follower asked from outside.  "Go to the palace first!" At the palace, Luo Qin was wearing the king's gorgeous crown, but his face was a little pale and his eyes were red and swollen. It was obvious that he had not gotten over the pain of losing his sister just now.  "I am here to see you, Your Majesty!" Diok knelt on the ground and kissed the steps at the king's feet.  "Get up quickly, Master Diok!" Luo Qin moved his body unaccustomedly: "This is not a formal occasion in the hall, so you don't need to perform such solemn etiquette." "No, Your Majesty!" Diok  After completing the etiquette meticulously, he got up from the ground: "You have just ascended the throne and your power is not yet stable. As the counselor of the Privy Council and the head of the ministers, I must be more careful in my words and deeds to establish your prestige!" After hearing the other party's answer, Luo  A grateful look appeared on Qin's face: "Oh, you are really a role model for ministers! By the way, did you go to Babu Manor today? How is brother-in-law? You told him to return to the court to assist  My business?" "Your Majesty, you have too many questions at once, please allow me to answer them one by one!" Diok smiled: "I did go to Babu Manor today and met Mr. Chen.  He looked sad and tired and looked like a completely different person, and to be honest, I never thought he would look like this!"
