Chapter 1068: Bad News
Linglong is in charge of messaging. The news of all things inside and outside the palace was collected by her. Linglong is in such a hurry and obviously something is wrong.
Chen Yueniang was in no mood to laugh, frowned slightly, stepped forward, and asked in a low voice, "Linglong, is something wrong?"
"Yes," Linglong didn't stop: "I'll go and report to Niangniang first." ”
Chen Yueniang's gaze swept over Xu Cang.
Without waiting for her to speak, Xu Cang said, "You don't have to send me, hurry up and wait by Niangniang's side." ”
Chen Yueniang hummed and chased after her quickly.
Linglong reported to Gu Wanning with a heavy face: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the palace people in Jingyang Palace have come to deliver the letter." The Empress Jing and Concubine Jing are dead!"
What the?
Rao is Gu Wanning has always been calm and self-controlled, and when he suddenly heard this, he was also a little shocked: "When did it happen?"
"Before a cup of tea, I just closed my eyes and breathed. ”
Linglong didn't dare to hesitate, and said quickly: "The Empress Dowager Jing woke up early in the morning, washed and changed clothes, and after breakfast, she fell asleep again. The palace maids in Jingyang Palace did not expect that the Empress Jing would pass away silently. When they noticed that the Empress Dowager Jing was not breathing, they all panicked and immediately came to the Jiaofang Palace to deliver the letter. ”
Chen Yueniang and Linlang quickly exchanged worried looks.
It's not good when the Empress Jing and Concubine Jing will die, but at this time!
The bones of the Empress Dowager were not cold, and she had just been buried for two days. Empress Jing and Concubine Jing went again. Outsiders don't know what to do, how can they not speculate and be suspicious? Even suspicious of Gu Guanning......
Gu Wanning's eyes flashed, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Linlang, you go to Cining Palace to deliver the letter immediately." Linglong, you go to the Jiaofang Palace and tell the emperor about this. Master, go and pass on my message, and order the palace to prepare for the funeral. ”
"Let people go out of the palace again and go to the Wang family and Princess Gaoyang's mansion to send a funeral letter!"
All the people were solemn and commanded.
……
Gu Wanning reacted extremely quickly, and was the first to arrive at Jingyang Palace.
Then came the Empress Dowager Min.
Empress Dowager Min glanced at Queen Wang, whose face was calm as if she was asleep, her mind was chaotic and dazed, and she murmured, "I really didn't expect that she would also die." ”
Empress Dowager Min has been the crown princess for more than ten years, and Queen Wang is both the queen of the middle palace and her mother-in-law. This dual identity is enough to make her full of awe of the queen and queen.
If it weren't for Gu Wanning's move, she wouldn't have had the courage to compete with Queen Wang.
In the past few years, she has been the queen mother, and her life has been going well, and she has gradually forgotten the past. At this time, standing in front of Queen Wang's bed, the past came flooding back, and it was difficult to calm down for a while.
Gu Wanning's familiar voice sounded in his ears: "People always die." Concubine Taihuang Jing is a few years older than Concubine Taihuang Xian, she is already sixty years, and her longevity is also long. What's more, Concubine Taihuang Jing has been ill for a few years, and her body has long since become as healthy as it used to be. It seems that he died suddenly, but in fact, there was a precursor. ”
Empress Dowager Min raised her head a little blankly and looked at Gu Guanning.
"Since the Empress Jing has passed away, we will bury her. Gu Guanning said calmly: "It has been six years since the imperial grandfather passed away, and with the imperial concubine Jing to match under the Yellow Spring, I think the imperial grandfather will not be too lonely." ”
When people are in a panic and have no owner, they will always unconsciously rely on the people around them.
Empress Dowager Min's panicked heart slowly calmed down, approached Gu Wanning's side, lowered her voice and said, "Guanning, the timing of the death of Empress Jing and Concubine Jing is too unfortunate. I'm afraid there will be rumors that are not good for you!"
Gu Wanning's expression was as usual: "There have never been fewer rumors about me over the years, what is the hindrance to me? As long as the emperor believes in me and the queen mother believes in me, it is enough!"
As long as the people around her firmly believe in her, it doesn't matter what those irrelevant people say.
When Empress Dowager Min heard these words, her heart swelled with warmth. However, she was still worried: "Of course Ah Xu and I believe in you. It's just that rumors have to be guarded against. ”
Empress Dowager Min deeply understands the power of rumors, and the more she thinks about it, the more worried she becomes.
Gu Wanning glanced at the Empress Dowager Min soothingly: "The queen mother doesn't have to worry. Rumors hurt people because human nature is weak. I am cold-hearted and cold-hearted by nature, and no one's evil words can hurt me. ”
Empress Dowager Min breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but glance at Queen Wang again: "She looks peaceful, as if she is asleep." ”
It can be seen that there is no pain when you die.
Gu Guanning said lightly: "It can be regarded as a blessed person." ”
Death is not scary. The terrible thing is that life is better than death, and the walking dead are alive. For the queen and queen, death is the greatest relief.
……
Xiao Xu also came.
Xiao Xu's feelings for Queen Wang are equally complicated.
He stood in front of the bed for a moment, his eyes fell on the peaceful face of the queen, and then he said: "The imperial concubine Jing is the original wife of the emperor's grandfather, and the funeral regulations should not be compared with the imperial concubine. ”
Gu Wanning snorted: "The Empress Dowager Jing has been the queen of the Middle Palace for many years, so let's handle the funeral with the gift of the Empress Dowager!"
When a person dies, there is no need to mention the grievances of the past. Even Emperor Yuanyou, who passed away for a few years, had to hold the funeral in a grand and beautiful manner.
Xiao Xu thought for a moment and nodded: "It's okay." The funeral was organized according to the regulations of the Queen Mother. Also, bury the Empress Jing and the imperial grandfather together!"
In order to clear the harem, Emperor Yuanyou ruthlessly abolished the queen throne. However, in the heart of Emperor Yuanyou, no one can replace the original position of Queen Wang.
Gu Wanning responded.
Empress Dowager Min couldn't help but interject: "Wouldn't it be too extravagant?"
This kind of funeral is very costly.
When Empress Dowager Min thought about the silver, she couldn't help but feel a little heartache.
Xiao Xu gently reassured: "It is also appropriate to be extravagant." In the end, it is the original match of the emperor's grandfather, and I have called the emperor's grandmother for many years. If the funeral is too simple, it will not look good on my face. ”
When people close their eyes, everything becomes nothing. The funeral is for the living, and it is not allowed to be saved.
Empress Dowager Min replied with some curtle: "It's still thoughtful for you." ”
……
Concubine Sun Xian and Queen Wang fought for most of their lives, and in the end they were trapped in the palace. No one could have imagined that a few days after Concubine Sun Xian died, Queen Wang followed closely.
Empress Wang is the original wife of Emperor Yuanyou and has been in charge of the Middle Palace for many years. Even if he was deposed, no one dared to deceive him. Before Emperor Yuanyou died, he told Xiao Xu to treat Queen Wang well.
Xiao Xu responded to the matter in front of everyone.
Later, Queen Wang was "delirious" and recuperated in the palace, never showing up in front of people for several years.
When people go to tea and cool, even the respect of the Ninety-Five is no exception. As soon as Emperor Yuanyou died, except for the Wang family and Princess Gaoyang, almost no one thought about this Empress Jing Concubine anymore.
However, the identity of the queen is different.
As soon as the news of her death spread, it immediately attracted everyone's attention, far better than the death of Concubine Sun Xian.
