Chapter 446
It's been almost a month since Shen Xi came back, and since he came back, Xu Yujian has long been used to sleeping with him every day, but now that Shen Xi is suddenly gone, Xu Yujian is a little unaccustomed to it. ◢ with * dream ◢ small *.lā
At noon on the third day, Xu Yujian and the county lord of Anyang had just had lunch, and someone sent by Shen Xi from the palace sent the news.
Emperor Jingtai died.
When the county lord of Anyang got the news, he almost missed and knocked over the teacup in his hand.
For Emperor Jingtai, the feeling of the county lord of Anyang is actually very complicated, she has been received by the Empress Dowager Hua in the palace since the death of King Duan, and she can be regarded as growing up with Emperor Jingtai.
If there is no brother-sister relationship, it is not true.
However, the county lord of Anyang also took Emperor Jingtai's vigilance against her and later against Shen Xi completely in his heart, so he was not only a little unwilling, but also a little resentful.
But now, knowing that Emperor Jingtai has died, the unwillingness and resentment in the heart of the county lord of Anyang have disappeared, and they have been replaced by amazement.
After a long time, looking at Xu Yujian's somewhat worried eyes, the county lord of Anyang shook his head gently, "Sister Tian, you don't have to worry, I'm fine, the emperor has died, we should also prepare well." ”
Xu Yu nodded.
The emperor died, and the civil and military officials, as well as the internal and external women, all had to enter the palace to mourn from the fourth day.
The county lord of Anyang and Xu Yujian, one is the royal county lord, and the other is the princess of the county, and it is inevitable that they will enter the palace.
At that time, there will be no master in this house, so Brother Yin must be arranged in advance.
It was also from this day that martial law began in the capital, not only the palace guards guarded the palace gate, but also the soldiers patrolling everywhere in the capital, not to mention that ordinary people did not dare to step out of their homes at will, even the palaces in the capital were closed doors, and no one went out easily.
And in the midst of such tension, whether it is the official's mansion or the people's home, they are busy replacing the taboo things everywhere, hanging white gauze and white flags, and changing into plain clothes at the same time.
Three days later, Emperor Jingtai's spirit rested in the Renzhi Hall in Xihua Gate.
Since the fourth day, the women have been ordered to wear linen large-sleeved round-necked robes and linen hijabs, remove hairpin ring jewelry, and enter the palace from Xihua Gate every day to cry.
The county lord of Anyang and Xu Yujian were among them.
Although entering the palace to cry and mourn is a symbol of status, it is definitely a chore for the already delicate and frail female dependents, not only to kneel on the ground all day, but also to cry with grief and sincerity......
At the end of the day, it is enough to make the female dependents who rarely move around complain.
While mourning and weeping, while listening to the continuous bells of the temples and temples in the capital after hearing the mourning, the palace that used to be reminiscent of majesty and power was also more poignant.
After three days of crying and mourning, Xu Yujian and the county lord of Anyang could finally go back to their homes to rest.
Even though it was only these three days, Xu Yujian and the county lord of Anyang had obviously lost a lot of weight, which shows how they came over in the past three days.
During this period, Xu Yujian never saw Shen Xi.
On the second day after Xu Yujian and the county lord of Anyang ended crying and mourning, Shen Xicai finally came out of the palace with a haggard face and stubble.
Seeing Shen Xi's appearance, Xu Yu didn't ask anything, and directly instructed the maids to prepare hot water and let Shen Xi take a good bath, and then dragged Shen Xi back to the room to rest.
Shen Xi slept directly until the next morning.
With this night's good sleep, Shen Xi's face was finally not so haggard, and the dark green under his eyes had dispersed a lot.
I have been in the palace for the past few days, I can't eat or sleep well, and I have to be on guard from time to time for any accidents to happen, Shen Xike is really tired and panicked, but now he suddenly relaxes, and when he opens his eyes, he can see the faces of his wife and children, not to mention how ironing Shen Xi is in his heart.
Xu Yu saw that he hadn't woken up yet, and Shen Xi was sleeping soundly.
It was Brother Yin, who suddenly opened his eyes at this time, and although he woke up, he didn't cry, but he stuck out his tongue and put a small bubble on his head.
That small appearance, how to look at how rare it is.
Shen Xi's heart suddenly softened.
No matter what he does outside, isn't it just so that his wife and children can prosper and be stable?
Thinking like this, Shen Xi moved slightly, and stretched out his hand through Xu Yujian and gently pinched Brother Yin'er's white little face.
Shen Xi was originally a person who practiced martial arts, and his hands were naturally a little rough, Brother Yin was pinched uncomfortably, and immediately his small mouth was slightly deflated, and he first snorted twice, and he was about to cry when he saw it.
Xu Yujian woke up at this time.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that Shen Xi was bullying his son, Xu Yujian slapped his hand away with a smile, "You have been gone for a few days, and as soon as you come back, you know that you are bullying Brother Yin!"
As if in response to Xu Yu's words, Brother Yin immediately opened his mouth and cried.
I don't know if it's because I feel wronged or because I'm hungry.
Shen Xi was angry and funny for a while, "Tian Tian, look at this stinky boy, it's clear that he was hungry in the morning, and he cried out at this time to give his father eye medicine......"
Xu Yu glanced at Shen Xi again.
Shen Xi touched his nose and went to the inner room to change clothes.
Xu Yujian also then summoned the nurse in and asked Brother Yin to take her to breastfeed.
When Xu Yu saw that Shen Xi had washed up, and then went to Anhe Courtyard to meet the county lord of Anyang, the family had the time to sit down and talk together.
The county lord of Anyang first asked about the situation in the palace, "Brother Xi, how is the palace now?"
Shen Xi said: "The palace was chaotic for a while at first, but it soon calmed down, the first emperor probably had expected it a long time ago, not only left a testament to order the prince to ascend the throne, but also gave King Ning a fief, and ordered King Ning to leave for the fief immediately after the first emperor was buried in the imperial mausoleum, it was the most favored Luo Guifei in the past, and the first emperor also left a word, the Tao was the most reluctant Luo Guifei, and asked Luo Guifei to guard the tomb for the first emperor......"
Once Emperor Jingtai made up his mind, he could indeed be ruthless.
King Ning's fief is a barren place, and whether a year's tax can support the ordinary life of King Ning's mansion, as well as raising the soldiers of King Ning's mansion is a big question mark.
Under such circumstances, if King Ning wants to do something after the crown prince ascends the throne, it will be more than enough and not enough.
As for Concubine Luo......
"When the imperial brother died, he didn't forget to ask Luo Guifei to accompany him, but he really treated her with deep affection. The county lord of Anyang is not without irony.
Concubine Luo can be said to be the favored harem over the years, and she gave birth to a second son, plus Emperor Jingtai has never mentioned the matter of establishing a prince when he has an eldest prince, which inevitably makes her have some ambitions in her life.
It's just that the throne is so contentious?
Now Emperor Jingtai is just a will, and he can make Luo Guifei show her original form.
