Chapter 427: Leaving this Life

Sheng Li brought Ying Lili together with him, and the two went to the Palace Grounds, where everyone was waiting for them. Sheng Li and Ying Lili showed their filial piety towards Hu Jingguo. Since the Emperor and his wives were elder to Hu Jingguo, they did not pay respect and only stood at their places with lowered heads. A few of Hu Jingguo's favorite things had been put in the coffin so that in the afterlife he could use them (a general belief of those times). Sheng Li started to cry as he saw the lifeless body of Hu Jingguo. 'I wish you could wake up again.' 

Ying Lili had nothing to say. She only cried upon seeing him. The tears she had held back, she let them fall today. The clouds had gathered in the sky.
