The sudden death of Emperor Jingyuan brought a lot of impact to the court of the Dayu Dynasty. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The harem is full of mourning faces, especially those who have no children to live by.
Emperor Jingyuan's harem is only a few people, if you calculate carefully, from the highest rank to the lowest, there are only a dozen people in total, but he only has a total of six children, so if you count it up, there are more concubines in the harem who have no children by their side.
In the short distance from Zhaoyang Hall to Qingyan Palace, all kinds of cries came into her ears, but at this moment, her heart was no different from a wooden stake, and other people's cries could not alarm her at all.
The little girl followed quietly behind Bilan, carefully watching her every move.
The inside of the palace is not peaceful, and the outside is even more chaotic.
After the civil and military officials finally digested the news of Emperor Jingyuan's death, they walked out of their homes one after another.
Taishi Wei Ren and his faction all rushed to the Taishi Mansion, followed the prime minister and Wei Ren against each other, and they all ran to Du Zhong's door.
But what they didn't expect was that the two giants in the court actually closed their doors, and listened to the chaos in their two mansions, as if they were packing up something.
So the hearts of the officials were even more puzzled, and they said which one is this singing, the emperor who was still talking and laughing yesterday died today, how can this prince and the prime minister also follow the abnormality, at this time, the two of them should lead the way into the palace to accompany the emperor? !
Things that are not clear will be particularly attractive, and then someone will try their best to figure things out, so the courtiers, especially those with relatively large official positions, will make full use of the connections in their hands to inquire.
Soon, news came out in the palace that Emperor Jing Yuan had passed the throne of Dabao to the fourth prince, Biyun.
Immediately afterwards, news came out that Emperor Jingyuan divided the fief for the third prince King Jin, which was for the area of Jinzhou, adjacent to Xichuan, and handed over all the 150,000 elite soldiers of Jinzhou to him, and the most important thing was to let the Taishi Wei Rentong go to Jinzhou to retire.
The last news came out that Prime Minister Du Zhong had returned to his hometown and would leave the capital within three days.
All of a sudden, the two giants in the court were short of hands, so a lot of mental activities have begun to dial the little abacus in their hearts.
Not to mention how restless it was outside the palace, inside the harem, all the concubines were stunned by Emperor Jingyuan's edict, and they couldn't even care about crying.
They were very surprised, this Rong Concubine is obviously very favored on weekdays, why did Emperor Jingyuan order her to be martyred, you know, the second prince raised by Rong Concubine is lying in the Qixiang Pavilion with his bones not cold!
So some people thought, could it be that this is Emperor Jingyuan who is really reluctant to honor his concubine? Even if you die, you have to take her as a companion?
But after those people thought about it, they all had an irrepressible sense of joy, and the emperor was fortunate to pull up the Rong concubine, fortunately he was not favored, although the emperor died and there was no hope for the days in the palace, but everyone knew that it was better to die than to live, right?
It doesn't matter what the masters in the other palaces plan, but as far as Wei Yilian's Shunyi Palace is concerned, it is surprisingly quiet.
With Wei Yilian coming out of the Zhaoyang Palace, it was the will to reduce her to Mu Promise, and after Chang Fu completely conveyed the will of Emperor Jingyuan, Wei Yilian locked herself in the palace, and only gave a simple order not to let anyone disturb and never said anything again.
After the news of Emperor Jingyuan's death came, Wei Yilian walked out of the palace and looked in the direction of the Qing Banquet Palace, and locked herself up again.
When Mama Liu brought the torn filial piety clothes over, she called a few times in front of the door and didn't hear any movement inside, she slapped a few more the door, but there was still no movement inside, so Mama Liu's heart was anxious, and at the same time panicked, the tray in her hand fell to the ground with a whirl, and the snow-white filial piety clothes were suddenly stained with a layer of dust.
Chang An, the great eunuch of Shunyi Palace, who was busy hanging white lanterns and white canvases everywhere, hurriedly stopped his work and ran over after hearing Mama Liu's anxious shouts.
"What's the matter, what are you doing making such a big move?"
As soon as Mama Liu saw Chang An coming, she grabbed him and simply said the word kick the door.
"Kicking the door? Are you crazy or stupid? ”
"I've been shouting for so long, but Mu promised but there was no movement inside, I'm scared, what if something happens to her here!"
Chang An was also anxious when he heard this, but pulled Mama Liu back a few steps, lifted the hem of her clothes and kicked it over.
Chang Anchang is tall and big, and he is a practitioner, when he concentrates all the strength of his body on his feet, the strength is naturally extraordinary, and he heard a pop, and the two doors fell to the ground in unison.
Mama Liu hurriedly rushed in, followed by Chang An, followed by three or four other small palace maids and eunuchs.
However, what Mama Liu was worried about did not happen, she did not see the terrible situation of Wei Yilian's suicide, but saw that she was leisurely appearing by the window, holding a pair of scissors in her hand and pruning the flower branches, as if the big movement just now did not alarm her at all.
The uneasiness in Mama Liu's heart became even stronger, and she heard her ask cautiously, "Little Master Mu, are you okay?" ”
Wei Yilian raised her head and asked calmly: "What can I do, but you, Mama, what is the purpose of such a big battle?" ”
"Back to the little master, the slave and maid sent filial piety clothes to the little master."
"Filial piety? What filial piety? ”
Mama Liu's heart really raised her throat, and she said more carefully: "Little master, the emperor died, and this filial piety robe is naturally worn for the emperor." ”
Wei Yilian's hand froze, and a slender flower stem with a bud was cut off, and she was heard muttering: "The emperor has died...... ......The emperor died, yes, the emperor died, and my emperor's husband died......"
Every time she said a word, Mama Liu's heart trembled, and she trembled to the end, and she didn't even dare to make a sound.
Wei Yilian didn't know what she remembered, she suddenly laughed, then cried again, and finally cried and laughed, and kept repeating the words "the emperor's death" in her mouth, and after saying it over and over again for a long time, she suddenly shouted: "Huangquan Road is lonely, the emperor, you go slowly, wait for the concubine!" ”
As soon as Mama Liu and Chang Ping heard this, they said badly in their hearts, and hurriedly stepped forward, but they were still one step too late, and when they arrived at Wei Yilian, the sharp scissors had already pierced her chest.
