Chapter 407: Cremation

Meng Zegui sat at the table in a daze, there was a pot of plum on the table, the room was burning with a smoked cage very warm, and it had already bloomed before spring, Meng Zegui got up early and gently pruned the branches with scissors, thinking that in the cold winter wax moon, when Wei Mingxu came to see her, it was also novel and festive. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Hui'er came to tell her that Wei Mingxu stayed in Lin Zhixuan's house last night.

Meng Zegui chuckled: "What's the matter, it's not the same wherever the prince stays." ”

Hui'er hesitated for a while before she said, "In the middle of the night last night, the prince also called Amber Liuli to go in and wait for the bath. ”

Meng Zegui might as well cut off a flower branch at once, and a good bonsai was ruined.

He, he's been in a long time, and he hasn't stayed in any side concubine's house.

Meng Zegui once thought that women were just heirlooms to him, but for so many years, he had a garden of women, but none of them could give birth to children.

No heir is a big deal, especially in the royal family, Wei Mingji and Wei Mingmu already have four or five sons, and he is the only one, and he doesn't even have a daughter.

He also asked the imperial doctor to come and check the pulse, and the women in this garden were all right.

And his body, his own father had also communicated with her through the quasi-letter, and the prince's body could not be seen to be sick from the pulse.

This is an extremely embarrassing thing, in the early years, Wei Mingxu was also angry and resentful, and even had Jishitang, collecting famous doctors from all over the world, but he also took the medicine and conditioned his body, but there was no result.

Meng Zegui always thought that Wei Mingxu had already accepted his fate.

He was destined to have no children, Xu killed too many people on the battlefield, and there were too many sins, and he was destined to die childless in this life, so he moved the idea of succession.

Since then, Wei Mingxu has only raised these women in the back house like pets, and he has long been no interested in how to deal with them.

Not only do you not like it, but you even dislike and dislike the closeness to women.

It was like a thorn in his heart.

He actually pampered Lin Zhixuan just for Mu Huasheng's humiliation of Lin Zhixuan, and only for a few words from Mrs. Wang.

Is it to justify her?

He cared so much about her!

Meng Zegui only felt a chill in his heart, it turned out that he was not a cold-blooded and ruthless person, but his love had never been used on their group of women, even if he was once infinitely radiant, now in front of Lin Zhixuan, it was just a joke!

Does Mu Huashang feel the same way in her heart?

How many people's hearts will be broken when a ruthless person suddenly becomes affectionate.

It turns out that he is not ruthless, but he has never met the person who makes him emotional.

Meng Zegui's chest ached like pins and needles.

So much so that when Xia Lan came to invite Meng Zegui, she heard that Concubine Meng had fallen ill again.

Lin Zhixuan only waited for Concubine Cai.

Concubine Cai came to salute Lin Zhixuan respectfully, and then said hello to Lin Zhixuan.

After all, Lin Zhixuan this time is very different from a few days ago, she is already a legitimate princess.

Lin Zhixuan invited Concubine Cai to get up, she got up late today, and Wei Mingxu had something to say not to disturb her, so the concubines and concubines did not come to greet Lin Zhixuan, and I am afraid that they will come tomorrow.

Lin Zhixuan asked about some trivial matters in the palace before asking about the rumors about her affairs in the palace.

Concubine Cai said: "Yesterday, the prince had already instructed Liu Yi to investigate, it is better to check this matter from the outer courtyard, after all, the news must have come from the outside anyway, and the inner courtyard is full of people, and there is really no place to start." ”

Lin Zhixuan nodded: "The prince is very thoughtful. ”

Concubine Cai and Lin Zhixuan returned to the situation in the inner courtyard a little more, and then suddenly mentioned it: "Wulan and the Zhou family are afraid that it has been a few days, according to Niangniang's wishes, what should I do?

Lin Zhixuan thought for a moment and said, "The prince is busy now, don't bother him with such things for the time being." ”

Concubine Cai said: "Then what should be done with their afterlife? It is not appropriate to stop at this time, after all, they are infected with smallpox." ”

Lin Zhixuan twisted her eyebrows and said: "It's just a concubine, and now it's a very good time, is it possible that you can still do it in this Xishan Courtyard?

Seeing Lin Zhixuan say this, Concubine Cai lowered her voice and said: "Even the old example is a little different, earlier there was a concubine Hu who died, because it was rewarded by the emperor during the draft, and the prince also told Concubine Meng to pretend to be mourning and have a lively time." However, there was also a concubine on the side of Lu and a lady Lu, who said that she died violently, but she ordered someone to put a coffin in her house overnight, stopped in her house for two days, and buried it quietly. ”

Lin Zhixuan nodded knowingly, thinking in her heart, now that the emperor has died, although Mrs. Zhou is given by the emperor, if she wants to act, there is no one to watch the play, so naturally there is no reason to do it for her.

Lin Zhixuan said: "Since this is the case, I can't pay attention to that much at this time, besides, there is a big funeral for the emperor and queen outside, and it is not appropriate for us to do a big thing in the house, so we will also follow the example of Concubine Lu and Mrs. Lu." It's just that now in the Xishan Courtyard, Zhou and Wulan can't be buried here, after all, they are infected with smallpox, and it is not appropriate to wait for the smallpox to stop in the future and then come to move the grave. ”

Cai Shi listened to Lin Zhixuan's words, and was a little puzzled, so he only said, "What do you mean?"

Lin Zhixuan said: "Now that the government decree has been issued to prevent smallpox in Beijing, most of them are burned is the safest way. I thought it would be better to cremate them, park the ashes in the hall, set up a tablet to worship, and wait until they returned to the palace, and then buried them not too late. ”

Cai was shocked when she heard Lin Zhixuan's words, she was going to cremate Zhou and Wulan, and she didn't even leave a whole corpse.

The Zhou family is now out of power, the emperor has died, and Lin Zhixuan is in the new favorite, what she wants, the prince will not blame her. It's just Ulan......

Cai's expression was easily stabilized, and then he said to Lin Zhixuan: "Wulan is a side concubine after all, didn't Niangniang really say it to the prince in advance?"

Lin Zhixuan said: "I will tell the prince in detail, but Ulan is a Mongolian princess, and Mongolia does not pay attention to entering the earth for peace, but is buried in the sky, and falls into the wolf's mouth and eagle's belly, which is regarded as dedicating the flesh and bones of the body to Tengger who gave birth to them and raised them." She is different from us Han Chinese, and she will not have much resistance to cremation. ”

Cai's hearing Lin Zhixuan say this, it also makes sense, in short, as long as Lin Zhixuan and Wei Mingxu say it, don't have Cai's own guilt for these things, she doesn't care about anything, it's better to listen to Lin Zhixuan.

Lin Zhixuan said: "It's too early to say this, let's wait and see, but we should also tell the people below to prepare, although it is not cumbersome." ”

Cai nodded in response, and said a few more words to Lin Zhixuan, seeing that Lin Zhixuan was really a little tired, before getting up and leaving.
