Chapter 758: Wind and Cloud (2)
All the doctors in the Tai Hospital gathered around the dragon couch, and their expressions were solemn.
Father-in-law Qian was still like a shadow, standing by the dragon couch, but his eyes were sharp and vigilant. It seems that it will turn into a sharp sword at any time, piercing all those who have different intentions.
Gonggong Li's eyes were full of anxiety, and his expression was barely calm.
When he saw the figure of Queen Wang, Gonggong Li immediately stepped forward and saluted: "The slave has seen Concubine Jing. ”
As soon as Emperor Yuanyou fell, there was no one in charge outside the Funing Palace. Concubine Dou Shu can't suppress the overall situation, Concubine Sun Xian's heartache is that the death of the prince is crazy, and the only one who can preside over the overall situation at the moment is the former queen's current Concubine Jingniang.
Queen Wang has been a queen for many years, and her heart is calm and powerful, far from being comparable to Concubine Dou Shufei and Concubine Sun Xian. At this time, there was no panic, and he asked in a deep voice, "How is the emperor now?"
Gonggong Li frowned and replied: "The emperor is angry and bloody, his breath is disordered, and he is unconscious. The Imperial Physicians are consulting at the Chamber of Commerce."
The queen nodded slightly, walked to the bed, and sat down.
Emperor Yuanyou on the bed had an extremely white complexion, almost bloodless, and his breathing was like a gossamer.
Will he die and go to Huangquan with the short-lived prince?
The queen thought secretly and viciously. This thought alone had already excited her to the speed of blood flow, and her heart was inexplicably excited.
However, she didn't show a single ounce on her face. The facial expressions are extremely precisely controlled, revealing restrained sadness and pain and forbearance strength.
This is the demeanor of a queen.
How can Concubine Dou Shu, who is shouting outside, and Concubine Sun Xian, who is crying heartbreakingly, stabilize the situation and people's hearts?
Gonggong Li didn't know if he could see the true thoughts and emotions of the queen, but in short, his face was respectful: "The sudden death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will spread throughout the capital at dawn." Now that the emperor has not woken up, how to say anything to the outside world, I implore Concubine Jing to show me. ”
Queen Wang took a deep breath: "It is said to the outside world that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has died of a violent illness, and there must be no rumors of anything that will damage the Prince's face." If anyone in the palace dares to chew their tongue indiscriminately, they will be killed!"
Gonggong Li replied with a smile.
Then, according to the orders of the queen and queen, he went down.
The queen did not care about these things anymore.
She sat quietly on the edge of the bed, holding one of Emperor Yuanyou's hands, waiting for Emperor Yuanyou to wake up.
……
The death knell rang, tearing apart the silence of the night, and reached the ears of many civil and military officials who got up early to put on official uniforms and prepare to participate in the New Year's court.
The moment they heard the death knell, they almost suspected that they had misheard.
Immediately after, there was a sudden drastic change in complexion.
Only when the emperor or prince dies will the death knell be sounded and the mourning will be reported to everyone. Empress Wang was deposed from the throne, and now there are only Emperor Yuanyou and the crown prince who are "qualified" to let the death knell ring.
The death knell at this time......
Who is it ringing for?
The death knell rang out in the sky one by one.
That's fifty-four in total!
If Emperor Yuanyou dies suddenly, the death knell should ring one hundred and eight times. Now that it is fifty-four sounds, the person who wants to die is the crown prince.
Under the great shock of the officials' hearts, some of them were so sad that they lost their voices in pain on the spot, while others were sad and happy in their hearts. Others immediately thought about what the next situation would be and who they should surrender to......
No matter how he calculated in his heart, no one dared to delay the time to enter the palace.
As expected, everyone was stopped outside the Jinluan Palace.
The Jinluan Hall is solemn and majestic, and the door of the palace is closed. The wide open space of the stairs outside was full of officials.
At first, everyone did not say anything, and they all waited in silence.
It's been a long time.
The sky was completely bright, and the dazzling sun hung in the air, falling on everyone with impunity. Slightly drove away the coldness from everyone.
After standing for more than an hour, everyone's legs were sore and numb.
Finally, someone couldn't help it, quietly moved his body, walked to the person he knew well, and whispered: "Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pass away suddenly?"
"Your Majesty, how is the dragon body now?"
"We've been waiting here, and it's not the way to do it. Shouldn't you invite a few pavilion elders to go to the Funing Hall to have a look? ”
There is a reason for that. ”
……
Fu Ge Lao is at the head of the hundred officials, with Zhao Ge Lao and others standing beside him, and behind him are the officials of the various ministries, and there are several princes in the royal family who are in charge of specific positions, such as King Rong'an, who is in charge of the Zongren Mansion.
The heaviest people in the Great Qin Dynasty are all here.
Luo Shangshu frowned, and said to Fu Ge Lao in a low voice: "The emperor's situation is unknown, we should also go to Funing Hall to find out." ”
The prince died, Emperor Yuanyou was unconscious, and if the harem was controlled by people with ill intentions, he was afraid that there would be a big mess.
Elder Fu Ge heard the meaning of Luo Shangshu's words, nodded, and turned his head to look at the elderly Elder Li Ge beside him: "Please Elder Li Ge take the lead and lead me and others to Funing Palace." ”
Li Ge is nearly seventy years old, with poor ear power and unclear eyesight. originally planned to retire after the New Year, but did not expect such a shocking change at the beginning of the new year. didn't shirk at the moment, nodded and agreed.
Li Ge Lao turned his head and named the names of several pavilion elders, as well as six Shangshu, and only called King Rong'an among the clan relatives: "The emperor's situation is unknown, please go to Funing Hall with the lower officials to visit the emperor." ”
King Rong'an is the nephew of Emperor Yuanyou, and the prince is a cousin, and he also has some personal relations. After hearing the bad news, my heart was shocked, and I didn't come back to my senses all morning.
Li Ge Lao opened his mouth, and King Rong An nodded reflexively: "Okay, this king will go to Funing Hall with Li Ge Lao." ”
When the rest of the officials saw Li Gelao and others leaving, the "whispering" quickly turned into a "loud voice."
Meng Jiao, the waiter of the Criminal Department, leaned over to Gu Hai's side and said in a low voice: "Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pass away suddenly?
Of course Gu Hai knew.
Before the death knell rang, Gu Guanning ordered someone to send a letter back to the Dingbei Hou Mansion to inform him of the causes and consequences of the prince's sudden death. Such a royal scandal must not be allowed to be circulated. Up and down the house, except for Mrs. Tai, only he knows. Even Gu Jinxing and his wife were concealed.
When asked by friends, Gu Hai was neither inconvenient nor willing to lie, so he replied vaguely: "There must be something strange in it." ”
Meng Shilang suddenly understood and didn't ask any more.
Gu Hai's heart was not as relaxed as it appeared on the surface.
As soon as the crown prince dies, the pattern of the court will inevitably change greatly. Although Taisun is calm and serious, he is still young in the end. I don't know if I can suppress the situation, and I can't fight against the shrewd and capable King Qi and other vassal kings.
Gu Wanning is the grandson concubine, and she is one husband and wife with the grandson, one is prosperous, and the other is lost.
If the grandson loses, Gu Guanning will not be able to escape.
Gillian and Yi's two children, where should they go in the future?
Layers of worries blocked Gu Hai's heart, making him breathless.
