Chapter 103: The Emperor's Funeral
When Red Fox and Mingyue came to the front yard, everyone in the mansion was already standing, waiting for the master's orders.
Through the high courtyard walls, the red fox could hear shouts from the street outside and the clashing of armor against the soldiers.
His eyes swept over every subordinate in the mansion, and seeing that they could still maintain their composure in the face of such a situation, Red Fox was very satisfied.
"The four bells just rang, and the crying outside, I think everyone heard it. The father died, but someone was making waves at this time.
At this time of crisis, the people of our princess's mansion don't cause trouble, but they are never afraid of it.
Everyone guard our princess's mansion, once someone wants to plot against him, even if he does it, do you remember it?"
"Yes!" the people replied in unison.
The red fox looked at the Heavenly Master, the National Teacher, and the Great Witch, "The three of you come in with me." After speaking, he took the lead and walked to the study.
Ah Jun and Dark Er were guarding the door, and inside, the five of them sat down one after another.
"What does the princess command?" the Celestial Master spoke first.
Looking at the Celestial Master, who was much older and haggard in an instant because of saving himself, Red Fox felt very guilty in his heart.
"My father died, but there was a riot outside. Red Fox wants to ask, who is the final winner of the three?"
The three of them naturally knew what the winner in the Red Fox's mouth meant. The Great Witch and the National Teacher looked at the Celestial Master at the head of the group.
The Heavenly Master stroked his gray beard and said with a serious expression: "A few days ago, when I was stargazing, I saw the image of the glow and the guard, and at the same time, with the dimming of the new Emperor Star, there are signs of disappearing, and the Breaking Star is getting brighter and brighter, and it has the intention of replacing the Emperor Star. Therefore, the old man estimated that the person who was originally scheduled to store the position was only afraid of accidents, and the person who put him in this situation should be a person who had been a general. ”
After listening to the words of the Heavenly Master, Red Fox already had a rough guess in his heart.
This night, although the streets were very chaotic, but Renshan was very peaceful. Come to think of it, she is a woman, and she doesn't participate in court politics, and she is not a real daughter of the royal family, so no one cares about her.
The next day, as soon as the day dawned, Ah Jun came to report.
"Master, our Zhuangzi everywhere has always been on the alert, and there was no accident yesterday.
In addition, the people who heard the inquiries came back and said that the chaos on the streets yesterday was caused by the escape of the Seventh Prince. The people who were searched and arrested included the Chu family and the Jingwu Hou family. I heard that even the Eighth Princess's Mansion had an accident. In short, anyone who has something to do with the Seventh Prince has been arrested and put in prison. ”
At this moment, someone came to spread the word.
"Master, someone has come to the palace. ”
When Red Fox and Mingyue came to the front hall, they saw a little father-in-law standing in the hall in a regular manner. Seeing the red fox coming, the little father-in-law hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Please also ask the princess to enter the palace as soon as possible." ”
Seeing that the little father-in-law looked in a hurry, Ah Jun took out a heavy purse from his sleeve and handed it to the little father-in-law. He said very politely: "The master waited for a summons from the palace all night last night, why did he come this morning." I also bothered my father-in-law to talk about it, so that the master could have a bottom in his heart so as not to make mistakes. ”
The little father-in-law reversed the weight of the purse, and a look of joy crossed his eyes. After putting away the purse, he carefully looked around, and said to the red fox in a low voice: "The princess doesn't know, the emperor died last night, and I was going to announce that all the clan relatives and officials would enter the palace for funeral." But the Seventh Prince suddenly escaped from the prison. The eldest prince and the king of Xianjun led the patrol battalion to search for a night. Dali Temple also laid a net and detained some relevant personnel.
This was already chaotic, but I didn't expect the fourth prince to suddenly fall ill and chase the emperor. ”
Listening to the words of this little eunuch, Red Fox's heart was full of questions.
After talking to my little father-in-law, I went back to change my clothes, and returned to the room hand in hand with Mingyue.
"This little father-in-law's words can't be fully believed, this trip to the palace, Xing'er must be careful. ”
Red Fox nodded, "Yue, you said, is the fourth prince really dead?"
Mingyue smiled playfully, "If something happens to Jingfeng, don't talk about the third princess, I'm afraid that the fourth princess and Murong Cong have already found it." ”
"Level after level, ring after ring, it depends on which of them is deep. ”
The couple changed their clothes and got into the carriage sent by the palace. From a distance, I saw the palace gate with white cloth, and the carriages with white flags were parked aside. Men and women in pairs were being searched by the forbidden army and lined up to enter the palace gates.
"What are they searching for?"
Red Fox asked the little father-in-law who brought them.
The little father-in-law replied respectfully: "Princess, this is just for safety, please rest assured." ”
As soon as the husband and wife got out of the carriage and were about to line up at the palace gate, the red fox felt a pair of eyes watching him.
Looking from afar, I saw a man dressed in white and wearing a hat on the other side of the street.
This red fox knows that it is Mo Jingsa, who is rumored to have escaped from the prison.
Tightening her fingers, Mingyue lowered her head and saw that the red fox was signaling to herself with her eyes.
He followed the red fox's movements and looked over, and also saw the emaciated man.
Nodding towards Mo Jingsa, he continued to walk towards the crowd with the red fox.
When the husband and wife retracted their eyes with a tacit understanding, Mo Jingsa's figure disappeared. Everything happened so fast, so fast that no one noticed the silent communication between the three of them.
Seeing Mingyue and Red Fox coming, some palace people greeted them and brought them directly into the palace.
Seeing the palace full of white flags, the red fox was a little uncomfortable, and he also had a very strange feeling in his heart.
The two were taken to a palace with sackcloth for the couple.
After changing their clothes, the husband and wife followed the palace people to Xianglong Palace. At this time, there were bursts of prayers from the monks and little heavenly masters in the palace in the Xianglong Palace.
The two guards at the door stood straight with expressionless faces, like two statues.
Red Fox and Mingyue stepped into the Xianglong Palace, and it was full of people who were also dressed in linen and filial piety.
Passing through the crowd, the two entered the main hall. took the incense handed over by the palace people, bowed three times, and then inserted it into the incense burner placed in front of the coffin.
To tell the truth, the emperor's rights are supreme, and he was named a red fox, mainly to stabilize his rights. He doesn't have any feelings for Red Fox, and Red Fox does the same for him.
According to the rules, although the red fox is an adopted daughter, she must also cry in front of the spirit. The red fox thought that he would not be able to cry then, but for some reason, in the face of this situation, the red fox's tears flowed uncontrollably.
She was a little stunned, stupidly looking at the coffin with golden silk nanmu depicting dragon patterns and auspicious clouds, and just let the tears flow silently on her white and tender little face.
The Grand Duke had been kneeling on the ground burning gold ingots for the emperor, and when he looked up, he saw the red fox with a sad and stupid expression.
sighed in my heart: There are so many crying spirits, but it is really sad, but it is this adopted daughter. It can be seen that the hearts of people in the world are really unpredictable.
Mingyue hugged the red fox and exited the hall, according to the rules, Mingyue stood in the pile of aunts in the back, although the red fox was an adopted daughter, but it was raised in the name of the queen. In the palace at this time, except for the third princess, I am afraid that there is no woman with a higher status than her.
The red fox didn't know how long she had been standing, and during this period, she had been watching the eldest prince and the eldest princess very busy arranging for the palace people to handle the funeral.
There was false humility on the faces of the husband and wife, and there was pride and satisfaction in their eyes.
Just stood like this, watching, thinking, and listening, and suddenly, the little Heavenly Master, who had been praying for the emperor's blessing, spurted a mouthful of blood to the ground. Fainted.
And the blood, the bright red color, is very striking in a white flag.
Seeing this scene, everyone was a little chaotic, the Heavenly Master vomited blood, and it was at this time, it was not a good omen.
Xianglong Palace instantly became very noisy, seeing this scene, the eldest prince sent someone to bring the little heavenly master back first, and then led everyone to bow down to the emperor's coffin.
After everyone got up, the eldest prince wanted to leave to find a solution because of what had just happened. It wasn't long before the red fox heard a commotion behind him.
Passing through the crowd and looking towards that place, I saw a man dressed in linen and filial piety holding a dagger against Mingyue's neck. He was accompanied by four or five accomplices.
The red fox's heart instantly rose to his throat, and the aura of the whole person changed instantly.
She stared at the man with cold eyes, and was about to make a move when she saw Mingyue winking at her.
The red fox realized it immediately, and immediately changed into a frightened look.
"As long as you put down the dagger, you can mention whatever you want. ”
Listening to the red fox's pleading, the man dragged Mingyue backwards while staring at everyone present.
"Our master was victimized by traitors, and even the little master was unconscious. But you, the great prince, stopped the imperial doctor from treating him, and also prevented our master from holding a funeral. It's a shame that you are still the prince of the Great Holy Kingdom, and you are so ruthless and unjust. ”
The man turned his head sideways to Mingyue and said sarcastically: "Such a ruthless and unrighteous person, but you stopped me from killing him." You are just an abusive person, and today, I took your life by the way. ”
Seeing that the man was about to cut Mingyue's neck, Mo Jinghuan cut off the man's right arm with a sword from the side, taking advantage of his unpreparedness. With a drag forward, Mingyue was pulled to a safe place.
Those men didn't have Mingyue as a threat, and they were surrounded by the forbidden legions that rushed over.
Red Fox and Mingyue stepped aside, and when they saw a red mark on Mingyue's neck, they wrinkled in distress.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Mingyue gently kneaded her hand between the red fox's forehead while comforting her softly.
Soon, the fight ended over there. Several strange men were all killed on the spot by the forbidden army.
"Thank you Sixth Brother for saving your life at that time. Mingyue and Red Fox saw that Mo Jinghuan had finished arranging things, and stepped forward to thank him. In a word, Mo Jinghuan said that he had mixed feelings in his heart.
He patted Mingyue's shoulder gently, "It's okay." With that, he turned and left.
The eldest prince walked to Mingyue's side, "Thank you brother-in-law for saving me just now." ”
Mingyue waved her hand and said with a faint smile: "Big brother, it's okay." Thinking that the eldest brother still had a lot of things to do, our husband and wife retired first. ”
The eldest prince nodded slightly, watching Mingyue stand back in his place.
Xu is words just now had an impact, and the eldest prince always felt that others looked at him strangely. But what those people said was obviously a lie, when did he stop the Tai Hospital and the doctor didn't treat Rong Cong. Besides, Jing Feng and his father were gone at the same time. I have been busy holding a funeral for my father, when did I mention Jing Feng's funeral.
Now, this basin of sewage has been poured straight over, which makes the eldest prince impatient.
