Phoenix Duchess - C34

The Emperor passed away!

The emperor should still have some time left. However, if such a thing were to happen, he would most likely be infuriated.

The emperor had left without warning, and the imperial government had no words to say about this either. However, on the second day after His Majesty’s funeral, Empress Dowager Song ordered Prime Minister Luo to personally lead a hundred officials out of the city to welcome King Shao into the palace.

The first thing Shao Ji did after entering the palace was summon the Qi King and the King of Guunan to enter the palace. However, when he arrived, he saw all of the servants kneeling in front of the hall, not a single lord in the palace.

The new monarch was furious, and ordered the commander of the Imperial Guard, Xu Dazhang, to search and rescue the city. The overseer of the Imperial Guard, Song Jingyu, was not strong enough to protect the masters of the Mansion of Rongyuan.

No matter what happened in the future, the one sitting on the dragon throne right now was him.

After hearing Chen Huan’s report, Dong Ling Wan’s expression became serious for a long time. She didn’t expect Xiao Han to be so cruel and merciless; behind the scenes, it was possible that the imperial concubine he treated as his own mother served her. No, today it should be the imperial concubine’s contribution.

The city had been isolated from the outside world for a long time, so there was only one thing that happened to Lin Lin. Three of the four cities around the capital had already rebelled, but the three territories had restricted each other from fighting in the capital. Thinking about it, even the emperor’s son had rebelled, so what was the point of making a ruckus? Mr Xiao’s move gives reasons for many to rise to prominence.

On the second day after the new emperor ascended the throne, he took Xu Sheng, the younger brother of Xu Zong as his commander, leading an army that was thrown into chaos. None of the children of the Pingwei General’s Estate participated in the battle. Xiao Hui’s intentions were very clear. The Xu family was the mother family of Xiao Mu, so the military power that he could wield was much more reliable than being in the hands of Xiao Qian’s mother family.

In fact, in the Pingwei General’s Mansion, only the Shao Family’s eldest son was in the capital, Liao Ge, and the rest of them had all moved to the Huizhi County’s capital, Liao Ge. In other words, the Shao Family was in the capital, but only the Shao Family was in the capital, and the Shao Family’s eldest son was in charge of the southern troops.

Today, just as Eastflow Wan was cutting off the flowers, she heard someone report that Young Marquis Li’an had brought a young master to pay a visit. Eastflow Wan slightly frowned. “Young master?”

Before they reached the front hall, they saw a person standing in the yard, quietly staring at the red plum, Song Jingyu respectfully stood half a step behind that person.

Dong Ling Wan went to invite them into the main hall, and then waited for them to serve tea before taking a step forward and kowtowing nine times. “This humble one didn’t know that His Majesty had arrived, so I came late. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”

Xiao Han did not help her up, but waited until she was done bowing before saying: “Today, I came to visit, there is no need to be so polite, get up, and sit down.”

But Song Jingyu did not sit, how could she sit? Although the man said so, judging from his appearance, he was not sincere. Otherwise he wouldn’t have waited until she was done with the ceremony to say that there was no need to be so polite. It was obvious that the man valued the Emperor very much.

Knowing that Xiao Han must still have something to say, Dong Ling Wan did not speak up. She just stood quietly at the side, waiting for Xiao Han’s next words.

“Today, when I was on the street to observe the situation of the people, I suddenly remembered that there is one thing that has not come, so I specially made a trip here. “But speaking of this, I hope Second Young Miss will grieve. Grand Concubine An …”

Since the late emperor had passed away, and since he belonged to An Fei, he naturally became Grand Concubine An. Hearing Xiao Han’s words, Dong Ling Wan’s heart sank. Could it be that the feeling of unease she felt a few days ago …

“Last night, someone from the palace came to report that Grand Concubine An committed suicide by drinking poison.” Originally, Grand Concubine An was supposed to give the previous emperor his funeral, but before she died, she hadn’t committed any crimes … ” This accusation referred to the matter of Xiao Qian making things difficult for her previously.

“Grand Concubine An’s accusation has yet to be removed, I’m afraid it will disturb the late emperor’s carriage. Moreover, Grand Concubine An killed herself, which is truly unlucky. Originally, this corpse should have been sent to the cemetery, but I remembered that I had some personal ties with Second Miss and knew of the relationship between Second Miss and Grand Concubine An, so I came here to inform Second Miss that the deceased is dead. Second Miss, please forgive me.”

In the customs of Da Ye, suicide was the most unlucky thing to happen. In many families, if someone committed suicide, the memorial tablets would not allow one to enter the ancestral hall to receive incense and worship, and some even had to remove this person from the genealogy, much less the royal family.

Dong Ling Wan still didn’t want to believe it. She had clearly arranged everything, and in just a few days time she would be able to bring elder sister out. Why was elder sister looking for fault, was he willing to give up on his father? He could bear to part with his brother? He could bear to part with her? He could bear to part with it… That person?

It’s impossible, Dong Ling Wan doesn’t believe it, but now that the person who told her all of this is the ruler of a country, Jun Wu Yi, she had no choice but to believe it.

It’s just that this sister had a sin body when she was alive, so it’s not right for me to obstruct the late emperor’s tranquility. Ling Wan is willing to offer one million silver taels to the late emperor for his funeral. I only hope that His Majesty will be merciful and return this sister’s corpse to her body.

Both of them knew that this deal was going smoothly. There was only one person who wanted money and one person who wanted people. In terms of face, who wouldn’t say?

“I am naturally thinking for your sake. Since that’s the case, let’s bury that silver for An Fei!” Second Miss, please grieve. ”

Xiao Han achieved his goal and left after a few words of consolation. Dong Ling Wan sent the two out the door and became a bit absent-minded. Seeing how scared she was, the two people who loved the snow hurriedly came to help her, and Dong Ling Wan pushed them away, “Go and prepare!”

Dong Jiuyu’s corpse was brought into the mansion that night, and Dong Ling Wan didn’t sleep for the entire night.

In the middle of the empty courtyard, Gourmet lay quietly among the firewood. She had put on a light makeup, and her lips were purplish black from the poison. She was wearing a white shroud, and after the pearls had been removed, she looked even more beautiful and clean.

It was well protected, and there was nothing to wear on it. If not for the fact that the fabric was a little old, people would have thought that it was newly made, but in fact, only those close to Gongyu would know that it had been there for more than a dozen years.

“Miss, please don’t miss the timing. Let the young miss leave peacefully!”

Chen Huan personally stepped forward and lit the fire. The monks recited incomprehensible Buddhist verses as the red light licked Yu Rui’s body, gradually enveloping her within the flames …

The barbarians believed in cremation, and this was not unrelated to their belief in phoenix and bird. Legend has it that phoenixes could be reborn from the ashes. Of course, this was only a kind of beautiful hope.

Dong Rui Yu loved white plums, so when she was still a girl, she had planted a garden full of white plums in her yard. Dong Ling Wan buried the ashes of Dong Rui Yu under her favorite white plum tree, poured herself a cup of wine and drank it, muttering to herself, “Why are you so silly, is he worth it?”

Eastern Ling Wan knew. If it weren’t for despair, that person would have died laughing for the rest of his life. Was it because he knew that he was going to be released? Love was something that hurt people. She was too tired, so she didn’t want to struggle in this world anymore …
