121: Rescue Rong Xin
The emperor and the Empress Dowager Yuan have been wearing dragon robes and lying in the coffin, but the coffin has not yet been covered, today is the seventh day, according to the rules, today into the coffin, and then stop the coffin in the palace, the state mourning for a month to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. Starters, oh dear
Rong Zhi didn't say a word, just stood quietly in front of the two coffins and tablets, quietly, with a dark face and deep eyes, staring at the coffins and tablets in front of him.
For a long time, he didn't have any movements or words, Lou Yueqing helped him, didn't speak, and quietly accompanied him.
The hundreds of officials and women kneeling in the main hall did not dare to get up, so they could only keep kneeling, but fortunately, they were all kneeling these days, and they were all numb and unconscious.
I don't know how long it took, Rong Zhi retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Let's go!"
Lou Yueqing bowed her head and helped him turn around and leave.
The people in the palace looked at each other one after another, and their hearts were horrified, His Royal Highness the Regent had no news of his life and death during this period of time, and he didn't expect such a weak appearance to appear today......
After leaving the mourning hall, Lou Yueqing wanted to help him out of the palace and return to the house, but Rong Zhi was silent for a long time, and then asked her to help him go to Zichen Palace.
Rong Zhi rarely set foot in the Zichen Palace, although this is where his mother and concubine lived before her death, but he rarely sets foot here, but only arranges for people to guard this place all year round, and also sends trustworthy palace people to clean it, and then he doesn't ask anymore, as if he has long forgotten this place.
Beyond the Imperial Garden, there is the Zichen Palace.
At the gate of Zichen Palace, there were more than a dozen guards, and when they saw them, they all saluted in unison.
"See Your Highness, join the princess!"
After letting them get up, Lou Yueqing helped Rong Zhi slowly walk into the door of Zichen Palace.
Crossing the garden and open space in front of the hall, stepping on the stairs, it is the main hall entrance of the Zichen Palace, now the door is closed, the cleaning palace maid only comes to clean once a day, and leaves after cleaning, so there is no one living in the Zichen Palace, push open the door, a cold and lonely atmosphere comes to the face, and the golden palace is empty without a trace of popularity.
Rong Zhi didn't let Lou Yueqing support him anymore, but walked in slowly, he walked very slowly, moving step by step, his eyes swept lightly, looking at everything in the hall, and then walked to the apse, Lou Yueqing followed behind him, did not disturb him, just followed him step by step.
The apse is a dormitory, and the decoration inside is very gorgeous and exquisite, which is better than the emperor's bedroom.
The first emperor was indeed very fond of Concubine Chen, even if he couldn't let her appear in front of people openly, but he gave her the most extreme affection, but that kind of love was too extreme, and Lou Yueqing disapproved of it.
Loving someone does not have to be had, fulfillment and letting go are also a kind of love, but for Yuan Ruoyun, King Kun is not a person who can be trusted, and that period of grievances and hatred, right and wrong, is no longer clear.
In the dormitory, there is a picture scroll hanging, on which a woman is painted, at a glance, the woman on the painting is vivid, a glance and a smile are unique, between the eyebrows and eyes and Rong Zhi is somewhat similar, and the Qingning county lord is very similar, think about it, that is the portrait of Concubine Chen.
Concubine Chen is indeed very beautiful, so the Rong Zhi and the county lord of Qingning born to her are very good-looking, but they are regrettable because of their thin faces.
Rong Zhi stood in front of the scroll, staring at the woman on the painting, suddenly lost his mind, and could not hide his sadness on his face.
This is his biological mother, but he has never seen it, since he was a child, he recognized the thief as his mother, even now, he can't ignore the reputation of Concubine Chen and make these public, some things they know by themselves, there is no need to declare the world to bring criticism to the deceased, now that the Empress Dowager Yuan is dead, this grievance has ended, and from then on, everything has started from scratch, and he has also been relieved.
Lou Yueqing looked at his back for a while before she stepped forward and grabbed his hand.
Rong Zhi looked back at her.
Lou Yueqing smiled lightly and said softly: "Your body hasn't healed yet, you can't stay outside for too long, it's time to go back!"
Rong Zhi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and said lightly: "Let's go!"
Lou Yueqing helped him leave the Zichen Palace.
After the emperor and the Empress Dowager Yuan entered the coffin, everyone no longer had to keep filial piety day and night as a few days ago, but came to worship and remember every day, and was buried in the imperial mausoleum after a full month, and the new emperor's enthronement ceremony was also set after the full moon of the national funeral.
However, these matters can be postponed, and some things cannot be postponed, such as the execution of those generals who participated in the rebellion and the question of how to deal with the captured soldiers.
On the second day, Rong Zhi summoned King Shen and King Xiang and other confidant ministers to the regent palace to discuss matters, and Lou Yueqing entered the palace.
Because the previous queen and the current queen mother sent someone to invite her into the palace, Lou Yueqing could have refused, but after thinking about it, she still went to the palace.
The queen was sick, after the emperor died, she fell ill, and the state funeral ceremonies these days were supervised by King Xiang's mother Lan Guifei and Xue Xianfei, and she barely supported the sick body once in the mourning hall, and then fell into a coma, and never appeared again.
When Lou Yueqing stepped into the Hehuan Palace, all the palace people were in the outer hall, and no one was guarding the dormitory, only the queen herself was lying on the phoenix couch, looking sickly and ugly.
Lou Yueqing walked over, and as soon as she walked to the bed, the queen woke up.
In fact, she didn't fall asleep, but she didn't have much energy to squint for a while, and when she heard the faint sound of footsteps, she opened her eyes.
Seeing Lou Yueqing, she was in a trance for a while, and then, a different color crossed her eyes, and then she regained her calm, only to see the corners of her pale mouth slightly pulled, and her voice was a little weak: "......Are you here?"
Lou Yueqing was slightly blessed, and her tone was light: "See ...... Queen Mother!"
Hearing this title, Qin Minying's eyes were slightly stunned, and then her eyes were gloomy, and the corners of her mouth could not hide a wry smile.
Dowager......
She is the queen mother, this noble title is very harsh, because these two words are cruelly telling her a fact, that is, her husband is dead......
From then on, she was alone.
Lowering her eyes, she wiped away the gloom under her eyes, and then she looked at Lou Yueqing and smiled faintly: "Can you help me up?"
Lou Yueqing raised her eyebrows, but she didn't refuse, but stepped forward and helped her up.
