Chapter 171: Seven Days Have Arrived

When Yiyun arrived at Zhang Zhutou's house, none of the four of them slept, and hurriedly asked how the situation was. After he finished talking about the seven-day appointment, as soon as he said the reason, he saw Zhou Zhutou breathe a sigh of relief, and Xu Zhutou was stunned with his mouth open, and Zhang Zhutou was expressionless.

"So we still proceeded according to the original plan", Li Zhutou added and took a piece of paper, "This is the topographical map of the outside of the palace that we just drew from memory......"

"I don't understand, what was the original plan? That was a plan to rob the Dharma field, not a plan to enter the palace to save people. ”

Li Zhutou glanced at Yiyun and explained: "Narcissus's character gives her seventy days or seven hundred days to consider, and she will not agree, and when the seven-day appointment arrives, she will still be beheaded." ”

"Yo, you know more than we do. - Oh yes, the day of the wedding......"

"Ahem", Zhang Zhutou was interrupted by Li Zhutou before he finished speaking, he squeezed his eyes and glanced at Yiyun, seeing that he had been keeping his head down listlessly, and suddenly retracted his expression, and the thought flashed in his head was that Narcissus was not very good, so he quickly laid out the map and continued to talk about his plan.

From lunchtime on the second day, the streets and alleys of the capital were full of news of Guanyin's arrest, and some people even called on everyone to pay attention to the execution time, and if they couldn't do anything, they had to send Guanyin on their last journey.

The people in the north of the city thought of the silver brought back by Xu Zhutou, and they all recognized that it was Guanyin who gave it, although it was later searched by the Criminal Department, but after all, it was Guanyin who was worried about them. A special investigation team was set up, and they took turns to be on duty near the palace gate, and as soon as there was news, they were transmitted back to the north of the city one by one.

At this time, An Cheng couldn't stop Ping'er, but she also knew that the two of them were weak, and all she could think of was to urge the old man.

In the past few days, the emperor's health has become worse and worse, but he does not forget to shout Guanyin twice when he talks in his dreams. When he was sober, he openly joked with Zuo Gong that he was not a faint king, but why did he have to catch Guanyin, it turned out that there was this fate waiting.

The crown prince begged the queen several times and was refused, and kneeling outside the palace for a day had already aroused the queen's suspicions, guessing that he had other purposes, and he had to give up. In the past few days, he has been guarding the emperor every day, not only to serve the sick but also to protect the narcissus.

The second day was the seven-day appointment, and the prince was sad and relieved when he saw the emperor's mental state. They all say that they are the most filial princes, but they don't want their father to be so nonsense.

At the third watch, the emperor began to talk nonsense, and the imperial doctor shook his head at Father-in-law Zuo. The queen wiped her tears and sent a decree to call the harem concubines, princes and grandsons, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Except for the queen, the crown prince and a few favorite concubines, everyone else knelt outside all night. The emperor woke up in the morning, but his spirit returned to normal, and he was not confused at all, calling the names of everyone in front of him.

The queen was about to give an order to tell the minister to rest, but when she saw the imperial doctor shaking her head, the imperial doctor stepped forward and whispered: "Queen Mother, I'm afraid this is a return to the light, the emperor still has any wishes, I'm afraid it won't be able to pass tonight."

The people in the room tacitly understood that what the imperial doctor said was an edict, and the holy decree to make the crown prince the new emperor had already been written, and the queen shook her head silently.

Suddenly, Mama Qin screamed "ah" and ran out, she was an old man in the palace, everyone didn't think much about it after looking at it, they were all immersed in their own grief.

After Mama Qin arrived at the side hall, she immediately arranged for the palace maids to be busy, boiling water, picking flowers, and receiving soap, all in accordance with the rules of the concubines.

After this bath, there were no tulle clothes, but several layers of transparent red gauze were wrapped in Narcissus, and Narcissus also understood what was going on, it turned out that the seven-day covenant was so unfair that he had no choice at all.

She closed her eyes and tears streamed down her cheeks, knowing that the gang wouldn't let herself die easily, and glad her hands weren't tied with ropes.

When the queen heard the movement, she turned her head and saw Mama Qin walking in front, and a few palace people behind her carried the bathed narcissus, and shouted angrily, "Nonsense".

The prince subconsciously turned his head and immediately ran over to ask Mama Qin what she was doing, Mama Qin knelt down unhurriedly and said: "The emperor also recited Guanyin today, this may be the emperor's unfulfilled wish." ”

A few favorite concubines whispered, and saw the emperor raise his hand and let him carry people over. The bed in the emperor's bedroom was large, and the queen asked someone to put the narcissus horizontally under the emperor's feet.

Narcissus never opened his eyes, but he felt that there were a lot of people in the room, but before he could judge what was happening, he felt that the bed was shaking gently, and he heard a voice saying that his father should slow down, and suddenly felt at ease.

The emperor leaned against the bed frame, looking at Narcissus with a smile on his face, although she was wrapped in cloth, the outline of her body, the fragrance she exuded, the hair scattered on the bed, and the exposed feet, all saw the emperor lick his lips unconsciously.

He still feels that the two of them are destined for fate, but this fate came a little late. also knew that his time was short, he suddenly called Zuo Gonggong to ask him to draft a decree to make Guanyin a concubine, Zuo Gonggong asked for the title fairly, and the emperor didn't come up in one breath and went like this.

Several imperial doctors were busy in front of the bed for a while, before officially announcing the death of the emperor and announcing the succession of the crown prince and other processes, Zuo Gonggong remembered to ask Guanyin what to do.

"Since the emperor has already mentioned it, and the people in this room have heard it, then follow the rules."

After the queen mother finished speaking, Father-in-law Zuo looked at the new emperor and hesitated for a while before saying: "The old rule in the palace is that the concubines who have not been fortunate by the emperor are to be sent to the cold palace, but ...... But those who are included in the harem by the new emperor can also become the concubines of the new emperor. ”

"Guanyin I want it", the new emperor didn't think about it before he came up with this sentence, "Let's carry Guanyin to the side hall first." ”

The Queen Mother immediately turned her head and shouted "Hao'er", and suddenly understood why he always spoke for Guanyin these days, but Guanyin is different from ordinary women, and her origin is unknown, but the new emperor's attitude insisted, and the Queen Mother had to agree.

There was a cry and a discussion, and Narcissus already knew exactly what was going on, and also knew that the new emperor had taken her in to save her, and finally showed a smile.

I am not afraid of death, but this kind of humiliation is even more embarrassing than being exposed in front of my uncle and wife.

"Wait a minute", Mama Qin suddenly shouted, "This situation is unlucky for the former emperor, so the new concubine should go to the living person to be buried." ”

"What?"

Although the Queen Mother did not have the habit of eating fasting and reciting Buddha, she was also a bodhisattva, and she was disgusted when she heard that the living were buried together.

The new emperor asked Mama Qin to slap her mouth, but she confidently said that there had been two similar cases since the founding of the country, and several other favorite concubines also followed suit.

The new emperor turned around a few times, and the queen mother dragged him and shook his head, and asked Zuo Gonggong to ask the host of Huguo Temple to help take a look.
