The bell rang twenty-seven times, the sound of the death knell, Tao Ge's face was slightly stiff, she had been unstable in her heart since she got up in the morning, and she always felt that something bad was coming, and now the death knell sounded in the palace, her premonition was really true.

At that time, there was a column of five Gong E's holding white cloths, walking past the three of them, and walking quickly south.

Tao Ge looked at the direction they were going, and his heart became more and more uneasy, to the south, to the south is Jianzhang Palace, shouldn't it be the Empress Dowager Chu!

Gu Xiurong didn't think about it on his own, stopped the Gong E who was walking at the back, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Gong E's face was a little flustered, and she said, "The Empress Dowager Chongde is gone."

Gu Xiurong was shocked when she heard this, and the hand that grabbed the sleeve of Gong E's shirt suddenly let go, and she stumbled backwards, almost falling down, but fortunately, Qiu Rong's eyes were quick and she helped her in time.

Seeing Gu Xiurong let go of her, Gong E hurriedly turned her head and hurriedly followed the team, and then walked away.

When Tao Ge heard that the Empress Dowager Chu had died, he was just a little stunned, but he didn't have much sorrow.

After all, I didn't know each other, but I just sat together and played a few games of chess......

Gu Xiurong calmed his mind, then turned his head to look at Tao Ge, and said, "Tao Ge, come with me to Jianzhang Palace."

After that, he hurriedly walked south, and when he arrived at Jianzhang Palace, he saw that the main hall was full of palace eunuchs.

Although the concubine has also arrived, no one is kneeling, just standing in front of the bed of the Empress Dowager Chu.

After all, she is an ordinary generation, although Empress Dowager Chu is the queen mother, she is only Sima Yao's imperial sister-in-law.

She is the empress of Kandi Sima Yue, and Sima Yue and Sima Yao are brothers.

Tao Ge followed Gu Xiurong into the inner hall, and saw that Ziji was also standing in front of Empress Dowager Chu's bed, turned his head and went out, kneeling with the palace eunuchs outside.

Although she said that she didn't care, in her heart, she still minded a little, even if she was not merciful to Sima Yao.

She just came and knelt down, Sima Yao also rushed to the inner hall, and went straight to the inner hall, and soon after, Sima Daozi also came, walked to the main hall, and also went straight to the inner hall, but the moment she stepped into the inner hall, she looked back at her, but Tao Ge didn't notice it, lowered her head, and didn't see anything.

Later, the prince and princess came here one after another.

In the afternoon of the same day, the body of the Empress Dowager Chu was moved to the Taimiao, and a group of people who came to mourn also moved to the Taimiao, and Tao Ge, together with a group of palace eunuchs in Jianzhang Palace, still knelt in Jianzhang Palace, and wept and mourned.

Most of the people couldn't shed tears, but for the sake of courtesy, they had to sneak into the small kitchen to put ginger under their noses, so that their eyes were red and tears fell.

As for some people who use garlic to force out tears, although it is useful, it is the smell of garlic on the face, which is too easy for people to perceive that it is pretending.

Seven days later, it was the day when the Empress Dowager Chu was buried.

In the Taimiao, the coffin of the Empress Dowager Chu is riveting, and all the people who came to mourn are in the Taimiao.

Sima Yao was also here, looking up at the guards riveting the coffin, and suddenly an inner supervisor walked quickly with a piece of paper and whispered beside him: "Your Majesty."

Sima Yao turned his head to look at him, he handed him the paper in his hand, and said: "This is the list of seven people who were buried in Jianzhang Palace, and it was set by the Empress Dowager Chongde herself."

Sima Yao took the list and glanced at it, confirmed that there was no problem, and then returned it to her, saying: "Send it to Zhongshu Province, and order them to draw up an order immediately, and the coffin will be sent to Chongping Mausoleum in the afternoon."

The inner supervisor took the list, agreed, and then walked out quickly.

As everyone knows, Xi Ping stood not far behind Sima Yao, and listened to all the words of the two of them, she thought, if the people who accompanied the funeral were all from Jianzhang Palace, then Tao Ge would not be there, if she was asked to accompany the funeral, her great revenge would not have to be avenged!

Thinking of this, she also secretly turned around and went out, secretly followed the inner eunuch out of the Taimiao, the inner eunuch walked to the outside of the Taimiao and stopped, looked down at the list, and then grabbed a little eunuch, handed the list to him, and advised: "This is the funeral list set by the Empress Dowager Chu herself, Your Majesty has passed the eye, you quickly send it to Zhongshu Province, and order them to immediately draft a decree and send someone to Jianzhang Palace, where I am waiting for the decree."

The little eunuch responded, and then turned around and ran to Zhongshu Province, not wanting to be hit in the head by someone on the way, fainting on the spot, Xi Ping and Biru walked out from behind the palace wall not far away, the master and servant walked to the little eunuch together, Xi Ping looked down at the list he was holding, and then gave Biru a look, Biru took the list and handed it to her, she opened the list, and took a closer look, there was no peach among the seven people above.

There is no Tao Ge's name, but it doesn't matter, she can change it, she raised her eyes and glanced around, now she is standing not far in front of Changle Palace, she immediately returned to Changding Palace, and changed the pen slightly on the list, before the first name "Yao Yi", added a "Xiao" word, changed the word "Yao" to the word "Tao", and added a stroke to the word "Yi", changed to the word "Ge".

She put up the piece of paper, looked at the three words "Xiao Taoge", and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips, and she said, "Yao Yi, I can be regarded as saving your life."

After that, he gave the list to Biru and advised: "Hurry up and send it to Zhongshu Province, find the secretary Cheng Guobao, and ask him to draw up the decree himself, and after writing it, be sure to destroy this piece of paper."

"Yes," Biru turned and hurried away.

When he arrived in Zhongshu Province, Wang Guobao happened to be in the main hall, his clothes were half open, his chest was exposed, he was lying down, drinking in a chic manner, with his oily face and fat appearance, it was really a violation of harmony.

Biru raised her eyes and looked at it, and she also felt deeply disgusting, and said something ugly, in her opinion, in front of her was a pig lying on its back on a hard couch.

Sensing that someone was coming in, Wang Guobao turned his head and glanced at it casually, and when he saw that it was a palace lady, he smiled contemptuously and asked, "What's the matter?"

Biru stepped forward and handed him the list in his hand, Wang Guobao took it, and she said: "This is the list of seven people to be buried by the Empress Dowager Chu in Jianzhang Palace, and His Majesty ordered the slaves and maids to send it, and asked the secretary to draft the decree, and after it was prepared, he sent someone to Jianzhang Palace."

Wang Guobao opened the list, still glanced at it without any care, but saw that on the list, the word "peach" in the middle of the first name had obviously been changed, so he turned his head to look at Biru and said, "Who are you?"

Biru chuckled, "The slave maid is a person from the Changding Palace. ”

Wang Guobao immediately understood, nodded, and said, "Got it, you can go back."

Biru said again: "The list of seven people who accompanied the funeral was set by the Empress Dowager Chu herself, so this will should be written in the tone of the Empress Dowager Chu, and it should be an edict."

Wang Guobao was already a little impatient, and nodded: "Got it."

Biru was about to leave, but suddenly remembered what Xi Ping had told her, so she turned around and said, "My lord, this list, after it is prepared, must be destroyed."

"Got it, got it!" Wang Guobao became more and more impatient, and Biru left.

Unexpectedly, after he finished drafting the decree, he unintentionally waved the list to the ground with a flick of his sleeve, and simply stopped picking it up, so he forgot it. (To be continued.) )
