Nangong Yulan said regretfully: "Her body is already weak, her limbs are soft, and she is too weak to wear, the emperor loves her so much, since there has been no movement in her belly for so many years, it is strange that she has never given birth to a son and a half daughter for the emperor, I think it is the reason why her body is too weak." ”

Nangong Yuhuan glanced at his eyes, and when he saw the look of Nangong Yulan speaking behind him, he knew that what he said was also insincere, but he didn't break it, but just echoed: "It should be." ”

Then he asked rhetorically: "After Concubine Su is gone, what about the emperor?"

Nangong Yulan sighed: "The emperor was heartbroken when Concubine Su lingered on the sickbed, and repeatedly went to visit Concubine Su's Yunhui Palace, but Concubine Su saw that she was sick for a long time and her face was haggard, so she no longer wanted to see the emperor, and the emperor always thought that he was masked every time he came, curled himself up on the couch, and refused to show his face again." ”

Nangong Yuhuan said strangely: "Why is this?"

Nangong Yulan praised: "This Concubine Su is really exquisite, and she said a strange story......"

"The concubine has been bedridden for a long time, her face is haggard, and she can't see Your Majesty. I hope to entrust my family and brother to Your Majesty. ”

The emperor said: "The concubine is seriously ill and probably won't be cured, wouldn't it be nice to let me meet and ask for the future?"

Concubine Su said: "The woman's appearance has not been retouched, and she is not allowed to see her father. The concubine did not dare to see His Majesty with a contemptuous and sloppy attitude. ”

The emperor said: "If the concubine sees me, she will give you a reward, and grant your brother a distinguished official position." If you refuse to see me, are you not afraid that I will blame you and condemn you to your brothers?"

Concubine Su said: "Whether to confer honorable officials or not, whether to surrender or not to condemn crimes is all in your thoughts, Your Majesty, thunder, rain and dew are all heavenly graces, not in seeing the concubine." ”

The emperor still insisted that he must see her, so Concubine Su turned her face away and sighed and wept, and stopped talking. So the emperor got up and left very unhappy.

After the emperor left, the sisters rebuked her: "Nobleman, why can't you see your majesty so that you can entrust your brother?

Concubine Su said: "The reason why I don't want to see Your Majesty is precisely so that I can truly entrust my brother's affairs. Because of my good looks, I was able to gain favor from a humble position. Those who serve others with beauty, love is slackened, and love is slack. The reason why Your Majesty can still come to see me is because of my beautiful appearance in my life, and now if you see my disfigured appearance and color for the wrong reason, you will definitely be disgusted and abandon me, how can you remember to have mercy on my brother who hired me!"

Nangong Yuhuan slapped her hands and praised: "Concubine Su is really a strange woman, but it's a pity that she can't practice, and her life span is too short." Then, did the emperor take care of her mother's family as she wished?"

"After Concubine Su died, the emperor also promoted her three brothers in her face, but they were ......" Nangong Yulan shook her head and said: "Those three are muddy and can't support the wall, if the emperor just gives the three of them idle jobs, it's okay to be an idle rich man, but he wants to give the important position of fighting foreign wars to the three people, who would have thought that the three of them would be defeated and die." At this time, there were people who had long been jealous of the Su family, and they offered slander on the side, and the emperor was angry and condemned the crime of treason, and the Su family completely collapsed. ”

"Then what does this have to do with our Nangong family?" Nangong Yuhuan said strangely.

"This is going to talk about a strange thing again, and it is still related to Concubine Su. Nangong Yulan said softly, as if she was talking about something that didn't concern her: "After Concubine Su died, the emperor missed it very much, and the Murong family found out of nowhere to find a grass called "Dream Grass". This grass is like a cattail, which is retracted into the ground during the day and pumped out at night. If you sleep with this kind of grass in your arms, you will know whether your dreams are good or bad. The Murong family dedicated the dream grass to the emperor, and the emperor could always dream of Concubine Su with this grass. The emperor was very happy about this matter and rewarded the Murong family. ”

Hearing this, Nangong Yuhuan suddenly interrupted Nangong Yulan's words and said, "But as far as I know, there is a grass called Immortal Grass in Zuzhou. Growing in the fields of Qiongyu, it is also called Yangshenzhi. The leaves of this grass are white like mushrooms, and they grow alone, not in clumps. A person who has been dead for three days can be revived at that time as long as his body is not rotten and broken, and an immortal grass is placed on the face of the dead man. In addition, isn't there a kind of medicine for rejuvenating incense? "Inner Biography" says: There is a rejuvenating tree in Xihai Cave Prefecture, which is like maple and cypress, and the flowers and leaves smell fragrant for hundreds of miles. Pick its roots in the kettle and boil the juice, refine it like lacquer, and the fragrance is made. There are six names: Soul Return, Shock Spirit, Resurrection, Spirit, Horse Spirit, but Death. Where there is an epidemic of death, the burning beans are allowed to be smoked and revived, so it is said to return to the soul. These two things are extremely precious, and they are not something that ordinary people can have, but you should have this kind of spiritual material as an emperor?"

Nangong Yulan saw that Nangong Yuhuan was so well-known, and couldn't help but glance at her and said, "I didn't expect my sister to read such a wide range of books, which made my sister admire." It is true that as my sister said, there are really these two elixirs in the emperor's treasury, but they are just ......"

"Just what?" Seeing Nangong Yulan talking in a hurry, Nangong Yulan couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"It stands to reason that if it is an ordinary disease, there are these two kinds of spiritual materials, no matter how ordinary mortal should be reincarnated, especially the strange incense, it is really a stick of incense to communicate, the boy from all directions leads the soul back, the fragrance is long and long, floating ten miles away, there are only three days of death in the city, the body is intact, and all of them are resurrected when they smell this incense. But Concubine Su has not woken up after the two elixirs have been used up. Nangong Yulan said faintly.

"This ...... , Could it be that Concubine Su's death is not as simple as it seems on the surface?" Nangong Yuhuan muttered.

Nangong Yulan glanced at Yuhuan meaningfully and said, "After these two treasures are used, even the emperor has begun to have some doubts about the cause of Concubine Su's death. It's just that if you don't let the autopsy be performed, you don't know how Concubine Su died after all, but the emperor's attitude towards Concubine Su's body is very clear, and no one is allowed to move it. ”

Nangong Yuhuan frowned lightly: "Then isn't it Concubine Su who will never know who killed her?"

Nangong Yulan shook her head lightly and said, "Maybe the emperor always knew who did it, right?" After that, the emperor ordered that all the eunuchs and palace maids in front of Concubine Su and those who had served the concubine's diet and daily life were killed, and Concubine Su was buried with her. ”

"Is the tomb in that wasteland the incense mound of Concubine Su?" Nangong Yuhuan interjected.

"It is the grave of Concubine Su and those eunuchs and palace maids. Nangong Yulan nodded.

"Why don't you bury Concubine Su's tomb in the imperial mausoleum and leave it in Neiguo City?" Nangong Yuhuan was quite puzzled.

The emperor was reluctant to leave Concubine Su too far away from him, and the palace must not bury the dead, so he let Concubine Su be buried in the garden of the Su family, saying that he would wait for the emperor to go one day and be buried together. ”
