Raiders of His Royal Highness - Chapter 171

“You are not worthy to be the emperor, the husband, and the father… You are destined to be alone.”

“But don’t worry, after you die, those ministers will still cry for you. So you can go on the road in peace…”

Yu Ling softly spit out a word, and Emperor Jing Ming listened slowly. The boss, who had opened his eyes slowly, stared at Yu Ling with a smile on his face.

In the end, his face blushed, and he didn’t take a breath, completely lost his breath.

He didn’t close his eyes until he died.

Yu Ling gradually withdrew the smile from the corner of his mouth, approached the bed, lowered his head and quietly looked at Emperor Jing Ming who had just died.

“Eunuch Cheng.” She whispered.

Eunuch Cheng, who was waiting outside, heard Yu Ling’s voice, gently pushed open the door and walked in.

He quietly glanced at Emperor Jing Ming, who had lost his breath on the dragon bed, his heart tightened, and his expression became more cautious: “What is your Highness?”

Yu Ling sighed lightly, stopped looking at the person who could not be called her father to her, turned around and walked out.

People die like lights go out, and the clouds of the past are scattered with the wind.

“Clean up the Chongming Hall and announce the death of the emperor…”

As Yu Ling’s voice disappeared in the Chongming Hall, Eunuch Cheng slowly stepped forward and looked at Emperor Jing Ming, whose eyes were wide and dead.

With a complicated expression, he stretched out his hand and slowly closed Emperor Jing Ming’s eyes.

…

Not long after, the news of the emperor’s death spread very quickly.

Many people have already predicted this day in their hearts, so many people are not too surprised, they just didn’t expect this day to come so quickly.

The late emperor’s coffin would not be buried in the imperial mausoleum until it was suspended for seven days. In the past few days, ministers of civil and military affairs, concubines, princes and princesses all came to worship and guard the spirit.

In the arranged mourning hall, Yu Ling and several princes and princesses knelt on the futon, burning stacks of yellow paper.

Yu Shu bit her lip, her eyes flushed, and she looked very sad.

“How is the queen mother? Are you feeling better?” Yu Ling lowered her head and asked Yu Shu in a low voice.

A few days ago, after the news of Emperor Jing Ming’s death was introduced to Zhengyang Hall, Empress Song did not recover, and suddenly fainted in grief.

Up to now, I have only taken a look at the mourning hall with the help of the palace maid.

Yu Ling knew in her heart that even if her mother knew about Emperor Jing Ming’s cruelty and her use of her, the harmony between husband and wife and the deep love between the emperor and the queen created by Emperor Jing Ming for so many years was not fake, so how her mother would resent Emperor Jing Ming was afraid It’s impossible to really be indifferent to his death.

Due to the death of Emperor Jing Ming, she has not set foot in the Zhengyang Hall in the past few days.

The tears in Yu Shu’s eyes couldn’t be held back any longer, and rolled down her cheeks. She reached out her hand to wipe away the tears, and replied in a low voice, “The mother has been so tired these past few days that she doesn’t even want to drink medicine…”

Yu Ling’s hand holding the paper money paused, and she nodded: “Understood, I’ll go see my mother later.”

It was getting late, and lamps were lit everywhere in the palace.

Yu Ling walked out of the mourning hall, and the minister of civil and military affairs knelt on the ground outside the house.

“It’s getting late, I’ll be here today, everyone, let’s go back.”

Many ministers who had been kneeling for a long time thanked them and stood up tremblingly, ready to leave the palace and return to the palace.

Several high-ranking officials who were kneeling in front, surrounded Lu Zhenglan and walked to Yu Ling’s side.

“His Royal Highness, the late emperor has passed away for a few days, and he will be buried in the imperial mausoleum in a few days. The country cannot live without a monarch for a day, otherwise the subjects will be frightened… Therefore, I am offended to ask, when does His Highness plan to take the throne?”

With a solemn face, Lu Zhenglan asked this matter in a low voice.

It is also because the prince has never expressed his position on the succession these days, so they are a little impatient as ministers, so they will ask this question before the emperor’s spirit.

Yu Ling, who was standing in the backlight, had a light expression on her face. She instructed Lu Zhenglan, “Let Supervisor Qin Tian choose a date and just get ready.”

After he finished speaking, he walked in the direction of Zhengyang Hall.

When they heard what she said, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

They also thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had resentment towards the late emperor and was unwilling to succeed him.

The few people who got the letter of approval discussed various matters concerning the crown prince’s ascendance, and left the palace while talking.

Along the way, night has come.

Yu Ling stepped into the brightly lit Zhengyang Hall, and saw Queen Song, who was sitting on the soft slump, frowning, and pushed away the medicine bowl handed to her by the palace maid.

“Let this palace come.” Yu Ling took the bowl of medicine and waved to the maids who were waiting on the side.

Several palace maids saluted and quietly withdrew.

Yu Ling handed a small spoonful of medicinal juice and said softly, “Empress mother, no matter what, you have to take care of your body. You are sick in bed, and Shu’er and Erchen are very worried.”

Queen Song opened her half-squinted eyes, looked at the spoon in front of her, and then looked at Yu Ling, who was holding a medicine bowl with worried eyes.

After a long time, she drank the concoction from the spoon handed by Yu Ling.

Seeing this, Yu Ling’s originally tense body slowly relaxed, and her eyes were slightly red.

Fortunately, her mother didn’t blame her or resent her for killing the old man.

“Now, the queen mother has only two children, you and Shu’er. How can the queen mother let you worry…” Queen Song lowered her eyes, enduring the disappointment and sadness in her heart, and softly comforted Yu Ling.

She was just a little unwilling.

She was unwilling to live in the lies that Emperor Jing Ming had made up for her for so many years, that all the love she thought was just a show of Emperor Jing Ming, and she was even more unwilling that her single-hearted husband sacrificed her son for the sake of other women and sons. put to death.

Until the news of Emperor Jing Ming’s death came, at that moment, she felt that her life was like a joke. She woke up from the lie and faced the reality. Such a gap made her unacceptable.

Yu Ling nodded and changed the subject, she said in a low voice, “Just now, Lord Lu Zhenglan asked Erchen when he would take the throne, and Erchen asked Jin Tianjian to choose a day to hold the enthronement ceremony as soon as possible.”

Empress Song was still a little worried about this matter: “If someone discovers you…”

Yu Ling shook her head, “Don’t worry, Empress Mother, only you and Rong’er know about this, and no one will find out.”

For Yu Ling, her succession as her elder brother can also relieve her regret…

However, Queen Song was shocked when she heard Yu Ling’s words. She looked carefully at her daughter with a calm face, and after a long while hesitantly said, “You and Miss Qin…you…”

No wonder she asked this, it was the tenderness on her daughter’s face when she mentioned Miss Qin just now, which made her feel that things might not be easy…

Could it be that her daughter and that Miss Qin really…

Yu Ling pursed her lips, nodded, and spoke softly about her and Qin Zhirong.

Queen Song, who took a while to digest this fact, said in a low voice, “…So you and Miss Qin…you want to continue like this?”

“I used to think about finding a suitable time for you to fake death so that you can recover as a daughter, marry a good family, and have someone to rely on for the rest of your life…”

Queen Song never imagined that her daughter would fall in love with Miss Qin, and Miss Qin would fall in love with her own daughter.

Up to now, she still feels a little dizzy from the shock of this fact.
