Chapter 283, the prince died

The reluctance in my grandmother's eyes is like a knife cutting my heart, and it hurts to cut people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Lu Ruxue turned around, and was busy softly admonishing, "This will be at least three months, and at most half a year." The granddaughter must return to Beijing before the winter. ”

The birthday of her grandparents is in the winter moon, and according to the day of the invitation, she is going to marry in the Taifu Mansion in Beijing when she is out of the first month, so she must return to Beijing at the end of the chrysanthemum and the beginning of the sun.

"Well, you seldom travel far, so take this opportunity to go out and have a good look. ”

Seeing her grandmother let go, Lu Ruxue couldn't hide her excitement. Holding my grandmother's arm, I talked more.

But there were many good things, and she persuaded her grandmother on her side. was waiting for the night to tell Mu Xuanyang about the matter.

But I didn't want to, and there were twenty-one mourning voices in the palace, and the crown prince died. The bells are dull and far-reaching, and the long ringing echoes through the night.

The three Lu brothers, who had just returned home, hurriedly changed their court clothes, boarded the car and went straight to the palace.

Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Tang, both Mrs. Yipinguo, hurriedly changed into their uniforms and entered the palace with the carriage and horse.

The second lady, Yang, is only Mrs. Wupinyi, and if she doesn't accept the order according to the law, she doesn't need to enter the palace. Together with the Yun family, he arranged for the house to drop red and white.

But because Yang was pregnant, Lu Ruxue was afraid that she would work, so she took over the affairs of the second lady with the lobby sister-in-law Ping and the second cousin-in-law Xu. Together with his mother Yun, he changed into plain clothes and presided over the middle feed in the house.

There is an old lady sitting in the outer courtyard, and there is the chief manager Lu Chuan, and the stewards Lu Younian and Liu Xi, and the three brothers Lu Chongwen to preside.

For a time, the Beijing division was important, the dancing stopped and the singing stopped, and the restaurant and teahouse were closed. A simple and plain door, full of twilight and sadness.

The mother-in-law of the second gate suddenly came to pass the word, "Miss, Third Young Master Mu sent someone to deliver the message." ”

"Invite people to the side hall of the 'Shiso Garden'. Lu Ruxue didn't know what Mu Xuanyang was going to say, and she didn't want her mother to know, so she invited someone to her yard.

The person who came was Jian Sui, one of the four swords beside Mu Xuanyang, "Jian Sui has seen Miss Lu. After saluting, he got up to reply.

"The young master asked the slave to pass the word, the prince died suddenly, the emperor mourned, and there may be great changes in Beijing. Remind Miss Lu that if you have nothing to do, you can't go out. The slave stayed outside the gate of the mansion, and if there was an emergency, Miss Lu just commanded. ”

As early as the relationship between the two was confirmed, Mu Xuanyang left Jian Sui to Lu Ruxue. Now that the situation is urgent, it is natural that more people have been dispatched. But he didn't want to alarm Lord Taifu, so he only let the palace guards in disguise stay outside Taifu's mansion.

"I'm tired, please bring a message to the young master of your family. I'm safe here, let him not read it. The situation in Beijing changed abruptly, and he was told to be careful in everything. ”

The emperor was old, and when the prince died of illness, listening to Mu Xuanyang's meaning, she wanted her to prepare for the emperor's death.

Signaled Caiyue to hand over the reward, and gave two more instructions, and then ordered someone to leave with the sword spike.

The Yun family was busy with government affairs, and the mother-in-law who came to deliver the message from the second gate was instructed again, and she would not tell the third lady about Jian Sui's message, so the Yun family did not know.

Lu Ruxue went to the "Mozhu Garden" and saw that her mother didn't ask, so she kept silent and helped her mother take care of the house.

Soon a holy decree came out of the palace, "The Beijing division is strictly forbidden, and the Zhou Emperor will be in decline for seven days and stop for five days." After the lacquered gold coffin stopped after 7749 days, it was buried in the filial piety tomb. It is rumored that the vassal kings of various places returned to Beijing to mourn within a month. ”

"Regardless of the rank of officials in Beijing, in public and private places, they go to the red to avoid China and decay. All over the country, within 40 days, vegetarians stopped marrying and having fun. ”

"Beijing officials are more than four grades, for seven days, every day at sunrise and early school, enter the East Palace to mourn and kneel and cry. Mrs. Feng of the fourth grade or above, with the crown princess and other concubines to mourn, kneeling and crying for four hours. …”

As soon as the decree came out, there was an uproar inside and outside Beijing. In addition to the emperor's pro-army on the twelve guards, strictly guard the imperial city of Beijing. The five armies were sent to the governor's palace and Jingwei to seal the four gates. Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin led the troops and seized the Qinglou Chu Pavilion on Xichaoku Street.

Overnight, the storm came. Lu Ruxue is in the inner courtyard, and he can still feel uneasy. Even Xu Zhuying, who has always been informal, no longer has a smile on her face, and follows Lu Ruxue closely.

When Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Eldest returned home, it was past the time of childhood. The three brothers of Lu Chengzu did not even leave the palace gate, and were directly left in the palace.

Seeing that everything was in order, Mrs. Tai felt a little relieved. The old lady asked about the situation in the palace again, and then carefully told the two daughters-in-law who were staying at home.

"Your mother and sister-in-law will enter the palace for seven days in a row. A thank-you sign has been hung outside the house. The two of you only need to take care of the servants in the house, but anyone who talks too much and enters and leaves the house without permission will be killed. ”

Although Mrs. Lu governs the family strictly, she is still lenient with her subordinates, and rarely imposes such a heavy punishment. It can be seen that the situation is urgent and has exceeded expectations.

Mrs. Tai also gave strict orders repeatedly, Lu Ruxue was worried about her grandmother's body, and saw that things were almost as ordered, but advised her to rest early.

"It's not early, and my grandmother will enter the palace early in the morning to mourn. It's better to rest early. There are two aunts and mothers in the house, and grandmothers and aunts can rest assured. ”

She had ordered her private vault to be opened, and a lot of furs were prepared for the sewing room. ordered them to make a few more sets of knee pads before the beginning of Pingdanyin.

Although it is not necessary to kneel and cry for four hours in a row, even young people will be unbearable after a few tosses, let alone at Mrs. Tai's age.

Seeing her granddaughter come to persuade her, Mrs. Tai was really tired, so she was served by her granddaughter and rested.

Tang didn't insist on staying, but after asking for peace, he also went back to rest. In the past few days of entering the palace, my mother-in-law still needs her to take care of her. The affairs of the house are naturally handed over to the two younger siblings.

Lu Ruxue checked her grandmother's pulse and made sure that it was okay, so she worked overnight in her small pharmacy to make an elixir to strengthen her body and replenish qi.

"Miss, let the slaves and maids watch, seeing that the sky is about to dawn, you should also go and rest. ”

Lu Ruxue was tired all night, and she really had some backache. But my heart has become numb, and my eyes are dry and sore, but I can't sleep.

Bottle the boiled elixir, let Caixing call Lu Feng, and order him to hand over the medicine and knee pads to Jian Sui.

And told Jian Sui that no matter what, he had to find a way to send this elixir to the palace and hand it over to Mu Xuanyang, the two uncles and his father.

Jian Sui didn't dare to hold it up, and now that the palace is strictly forbidden, he is not completely sure whether things can be sent in. I only let Lu Feng tell you, and I will try my best.

It wasn't until Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Tai entered the palace wearing knee pads and pills that Lu Ruxue got the letter here. Said that the things had been sent in, and reassured her.

This is the first time Lu Ruxue has felt that there are people in the court who are good officials. I didn't expect the palace gate to be so strict, and the Yan Wangfu could still have a way to act.

However, she is also a lot more relieved, at least even if the palace changes, with Mu Xuanyang's sharp wisdom and calmness, she should not worry about her life.
