第131章红颜消散，举国大恸（武汉加油！中国加油！）
继解决了安清远这个大隐患的当晚，许梦梦的将军府迎来了最后一位贵客——南安王。
南安王不管是原身还是许梦梦了解都不多，不过却也是听说过其虽然是习武之人，但生平却最爱品茗与对弈。
“会下棋吗？”司马柏放下手中的茶杯，神色温和地看向许梦梦。
“略懂一二”许梦梦点了点头，令人取来棋盘棋子，她虽然不懂，但原身是会一些的。
“那今日便与老夫对弈一局如何？”南安王看了她一眼，率先打开了自己面前的棋盅，轻捻了捻里面晶亮的黑色棋子。
"I'm not talented, but I'll show off in front of the prince today!" Xu Mengmeng also opened the chess box beside her and touched the white chess pieces inside.
"When I was in Nan'an, I had already heard of the talented reputation of my niece. Yesterday, my niece's actions showed that she is also a good chess player. I believe I can have a good battle with you today!" said Sima Bai, as he took the first move on the chessboard.
"I don't deserve such praise, I hope that the prince can be lenient with me later!" Xu Mengmeng also picked up a white pearl from the cup and let it fall: "To be honest, if not for the prince's help over a year ago, I wouldn't be where I am today!"
"Defending the Eastern Jin Dynasty has always been the responsibility of my Sima royal family. So, how could I refuse Miss Bai's request for troops when she came to me? We have many skilled soldiers, but it was Miss Bai's own talent as a general that enabled her to take step by step and rise to fame, wasn't it?"
"Even if the Little Miss is outstanding in abilities, she is still a female, isn't she? For a female to hold an official or military position is already a shocking and unconventional act not condoned by the rituals. Therefore, Your Highness may rest assured!" Xu Mengmeng understood the hidden intentions in the words of the Southern Ancestor.
"Miss White is smart and lovely, which I greatly appreciate. I have a son who is of marriageable age and would be very compatible with Miss White!" The King of Nan'an had been cautious for many years and would not let his guard down so easily.
“小女多谢王爷美意，只是实不相瞒，小女身患隐疾已久，恐时日无多，所以王爷还是为公子另择良妻吧！”许梦梦脸色平静地在棋盘上落下一子。
"Oh? So there is such a thing! I know quite a few famous doctors. Why don't you invite them to come and see Miss Bai another day..."
"I know my own body well, Your Highness doesn't have to worry! It's just that now there are only my brother and I left in the Bai family. My brother has been weak since he was a child and is not suitable for the officialdom. I hope Your Highness won't make things difficult for us!" Before Prince Nan'an finished speaking, Xu Mengmeng interrupted him.
"The White family has been loyal for generations, guarding our frontier for many years. They have great merit towards the Eastern Jin dynasty. I will personally take care of my nephew. Miss White, please rest assured! Thank you!" The Southern An king resolved his worries and won the game of chess. A smile appeared on his face.
"The prince's chess skills are superb, and I have lost," Xie Mengmeng also smiled and suddenly asked, "How does the prince view the word 'responsibility'?"
"I believe Miss Bai already has her own understanding in her heart. The old man would like to hear it in detail!" After a game of chess, neither of them had any intention of playing again, so they sat down calmly and chatted.
"The Lord has been living in seclusion in Nan'an for generations, seemingly indifferent to worldly affairs. However, when he saw that I posed a threat to the new emperor, he came from afar under the guise of upholding justice, but actually to help the new emperor gain power. This is the responsibility that the Lord has in safeguarding the Sima royal family!"
As for me, being born and raised in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is the responsibility of every capable person of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to step forward in times of crisis. After all, without a country, where can one settle down?"
"Madam Bai, your words today have truly opened my eyes! I finally understand why those literary scholars who uphold the secular code of conduct can accept you!" Sima Bai did not expect that this little girl in front of him could see through things more clearly than he could. At this moment, he truly admired her!
"Your Highness, I know you do not wish to go against the late Emperor's wishes and establish a new ruler. I also know that Sima Ze possesses the qualities of an emperor. However, there are too few wise officials in Eastern Jin. Although Sima Xi, Song Jinyan, and others have wronged my family in the past, they are all talented individuals like Li Daren who resigned from office. For the prosperity of Eastern Jin in the future, I hope you can speak well of them to the emperor!" It was evident that Sima Bai had grown closer to her, and Xu Mengmeng decided to be sincere as well.

“Miss Bai, rest assured, this old man also knows that they are not ordinary people!” Without Xu Mengmeng's reminder, Supervisor Sima Bai could see the extraordinary nature of the few people in yesterday's affairs, which he naturally welcomed.

Sure, here's the translation of the provided text into English while preserving the original HTML tags:```htmlAfter holding on to meet the person she had to see and completing the final move, Xu Mengmeng couldn't hold on any longer and finally relaxed.
Although she didn't want her death to be too public, the news of her severe illness leaked out when the twelve riders, He Ren, Bai Junning, and others hurried to the capital, causing a bustling scene in front of the general's mansion!```
```html“Miss, young master has arrived!” As Xu Mengmeng lay on the bed, barely conscious, someone whispered in her ear.
Xu Mengmeng struggled to open her eyes, propping herself up and leaning lightly on the pillow prepared by Zizhu. She looked at the group of people not far away, waved to Bai Junning, and whispered, "..."```
"Jun Ning, after my funeral, you will return home. From now on, all descendants of the Bai family will stay secluded in Jizhou and guard the northern border of Eastern Jin. Except for the annual family sacrifice, they shall not step foot in the capital city without special circumstances. Any violators will be expelled from the Bai clan. Do you remember?"
“是，俊宁谨记姐姐教诲！”小小的白俊宁红着双眼点了点头。
“如此，我便放心了！”许梦梦的嘴角微微上扬。
“宛初姐姐，你骗了我，你让我心里的如意郎君飞了，那你就要负责给我找一个，让他十里红妆来娶我！在没找到那个人之前，你不可以死！”李沐晴趴在床边满脸是泪，几乎泣不成声，但她说出的话却依旧固执任性带着些许孩子气。
Xu Mengmeng struggled to glance at the shadow beside her, whose eyes were slightly red. She smiled and closed her eyes.
Liu Jin reached out and checked for breath under his mistress's nose. After realizing that there was no sign of life, he shook his head at the people in the room and walked out. His eyes were red. He stood at the gate of the general's mansion and spoke to the onlookers:
"My lady has just ascended to immortality, please go back everyone! Tomorrow the palace will prepare for her funeral. If you wish to see her off on her final journey, then come and offer incense tomorrow. Today the palace is busy, so we won't invite you inside!"
"General Ning, have a safe journey!" The people all knelt down and cried when they heard Liujin's words, full of sadness.
"My lord, news just came from the general's residence that Miss Bai has passed away."
"I understand, you can go now!" Sima Xi waved her hand, her eyes gradually turning red.
"Won't the prince go take a look?" The butler's words hung in the air for a while, and after hearing a sigh, no other sound came. He looked up at his master with a complicated expression before retreating.
Sorry, little one!
"Your Majesty, Miss Bai..." In the imperial study, as soon as Sima Ze had picked up his brush, the chief eunuch, Little Suzi, rushed in with a mournful expression on his face.
Without waiting for him to finish, Sima Ze waved his hand to interrupt him: "Hmm, I know! You can go down now!"
After the study was only left with Sima Ze, he stared at the black ink on the paper on the desk for a long time:
小初，你应当是不想见到泽哥哥的吧！如此我便不去碍你的眼了！日后你见了白将军和白府其他人，记得先代我向他们说声‘对不起’，等我司马泽日后下去了再亲自去向他们赎罪。
白宛初的葬礼举办的很庄重，前来吊唁的百姓很多，一直从早上排到了晚上。在所有认识的人中，唯有司马泽与安清远两人未曾前去。
After taking care of her funeral, Bai Junning and others left according to her previous instructions. In the bet between Liu Jin and Li Xing, Liu Jin won but he chose the Southern Border.
“我以为你会想去西境！”在京城外分别之际，璃星神色复杂地看向同样骑在马上的琉金。
“我能力比你强，南境自然更适合我！”璃星摇了摇头，笑得张扬而自信，说完便驾马而去。
In fact, he also wanted to go there, to visit the city where his memories were stored. However, he preferred to fulfill the wishes of the young lady. Now that the North and West were already peaceful, the only thing that made people uneasy was the South!
After the people of the General's Mansion and the Southern An King left the capital city one after another, Li Wenqi submitted a letter proposing to record the story of Bai Wanchu in the historical records. Sima Zeen agreed to this request, and after leaving the court, he couldn't help but change into casual clothes and went to Bai Wanchu's tomb with Xiaosuzi.
```htmlAfter standing in front of Miss Bai's tombstone for a long time, he remained silent. Finally, Little Suzi couldn't bear it anymore and, while burning paper money, choked out:
"Miss Bai, please don't blame my master. Actually, you misunderstood him! Back then, it was not my master who was involved in the incident with the Chinese medicine. In fact, it was your sister who discovered Prince Anping's intentions and was planning to drug Miss Zhao. Mr. Song found out about it and wanted to use the same method to deal with her, so he switched the medicine back. But he didn't expect you to ingest it by mistake!"```
Those letters of collusion with the enemy found in the Bai residence were not planted by our lord's men. Mr. Song fabricated the letters. However, the ones found in the Bai residence were prepared by General Bai himself, with the intention of protecting you all. Unfortunately, it did not protect Miss Bai and Young Master Bai in the end!
The main purpose of the banquet was for the Lord to kill Zhu Ping's son as revenge for you, but unfortunately, his men made a mistake in their actions. As for the Qingzhou private soldiers and the incident of surrounding Li Yushi's mansion, those were all actions carried out by Zhao Taifu against the will of the Lord.
"My lord knows that you are very intelligent. He has always taken all the blame in order to prevent you from discovering the truth. You really have wrongly accused him!"
After the two left from performing their worship, the slender figure of An Qingyuan appeared from behind the big tree. He sat down in front of Bai Wanchu's grave and removed the cork from the wine bottle in his hand. He tilted it slightly and poured the clear and fragrant wine into the newly turned soil. In the wind, he whispered with a gentle and delicate voice:
“听说你也是沾酒的，不是什么好酒，喝点吧！如你所言，他会是一个明君的！你走了倒是轻松，将这么大的一个烂摊子交给我，不怕吗？”
