"What does it matter if it's yes or no? Your Majesty, after so many years of hard work, his body is no longer in the prime of life, and now that he is old, all kinds of disasters and pains have been found, not to mention that he himself is worried all day long, suspicious of this and that. Even if I can cure his body, I can't cure his heart. This, combined with what has happened this year, is nothing less than the straw that broke the camel's back. Therefore, please ask the prince and the princess to make plans in advance. If the two of you don't want to reach out again, you still have to explain it to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Doctor Bai chuckled.

"What I say today is a great contradiction. I also hope that the two of you can help me keep it secret. ”

"Doctor Bai, please rest assured, we husband and wife naturally know what to say and what not to say. I specially invited you to come here today, because of my grandmother's body. The rest of the things we don't know anything about the Yasukuni Mansion. ”

After Qin Yenan followed Doctor Bai's words, he took the prescription and sent the person out of the mansion.

But when he turned around and came back, he found Wei Yanran standing in the middle of the courtyard with a tangled face.

"Daughter-in-law, what are you thinking about? Is there something wrong with this? ”

"I'm just thinking about the emperor's condition, if it's really getting worse. Everything we do next can affect the rest of the story. It's just that there is one thing I haven't figured out all the time, Doctor Bai entered the palace to help Concubine Hai heal, is it really just to help his father avenge Zhaoxue? After all, his father was depressed because of that incident, and finally died with hatred, which can be regarded as the emperor indirectly killing his father, if I were an old man white......"

Wei Yanran paused at this point, and when she looked up, her eyes were already full of murderous intent.

After hearing this, Qin Yenan quickly took two steps forward and directly reached out against her lips.

"Daughter-in-law, don't say these words again. No matter what the purpose of Dr. Bai entering the palace is, he is a friend of you and me, and as a friend, he should be smeared with a knife in both ribs. What's more, this emperor is also old, and it is only a matter of time before he abdicates and makes way for Xian. Why should you worry about this? ”

After listening to Qin Yenan's words, Wei Yanran's face suddenly became happy, and then the whole person's state relaxed.

She moved her stiff shoulders and neck.

"Now that things have come to this point, the outcome has been reported. He will die early and late, you are right, I don't need to worry about the world here, it is only right to take care of my own family's affairs. ”

About half a month later, at the third watch of one night and one night, a bell rang suddenly spread throughout the capital.

Half an hour later, all the royal princes and nobles appeared outside the palace hall.

Immediately after, the mournful roar of the chief eunuch spread throughout the imperial city.

"The Emperor is dead!!"

Early in the morning of the second day, Wei Yanran and Qin Yenan watched Gu Chengyu wearing linen cloth and school uniforms, kneeling in front of many princes, and their serious relief was not disguised.

According to the rules of the ancestors.

After the emperor returns to heaven, he needs to stop for seven days, the Buddhist family recites sutras, and everyone kneels outside the hall wearing linen and filial piety.

The sound of cries resounded throughout the imperial city, and it snowed heavily.

The snow fell for many days, and countless people fainted crying in the snow, and were carried to the prepared chamber next to them, and continued to kneel after waking up.

At the end of the seven-day stoppage, the emperor was buried in the imperial mausoleum.

At this time, someone asked for a decree, in a vain attempt to let the concubines in the harem enter the mausoleum to accompany the burial.

After Gu Chengyu heard the news, he fainted directly in the imperial study.

By the time he woke up again, the desk in the study was full of all the charges against this man.

Qin Yenan stood in front of the table in the imperial study at this time, looked at Gu Chengyu's wrinkled face, and continued to advise.

"Your Majesty, the admonitions of these people are historically sophisticated, although the funeral is not in line with human feelings, and even extremely cruel, but you can't cut off their heads just because they mentioned this matter!"

"Why not? Do they want my mother to go to the funeral, and I still have to give them a good look?! I don't have Zhu Lian, and their nine clans are already considered extralegal! Gu Chengyu was still angry.

Wei Yanran finally couldn't stand it anymore at this time, she carefully checked the things that these ministers had committed on the side, and found a few important notes with a red pen one by one. When he turned his head, he let out a long sigh, and in that sigh, there was a bit of hatred for the taste of iron not being steel.

"Your Majesty, there is obviously a compromise in this matter, you have just registered now, if you take action against these old courtiers because of this matter, it is inevitable that some people will think that you want to replace the old with the new. Although there is a tide of heaven and a courtier, this kind of thing is definitely not suitable for doing when the first emperor has just passed away! ”

"What's the compromise?" Gu Chengyu asked, his eyes full of hope.

Wei Yanran put together the charges that had been sorted out separately.

"You can find out those concubines who have a bad relationship with the Queen Mother. Then build a palace there on the periphery of the imperial mausoleum, and at that time, if the situation is still so urgent, let these women guard the spirits of the first emperor there, so that they can save their lives, and second, they can also block the mouths of those leisurely people. Isn't that the best of both worlds? As for those who admonish, if they propose this method, they have to pay the price for the method they propose. All this evidence is in our hands in the end, find some reasons to poke out these things, and you also have the opportunity to punish these people who are not thinking about governing the country and security. ”

Gu Chengyu suddenly realized after hearing this.

He clapped his hands repeatedly. "Just do what Sister Yanran said!"

A few months later, several ministers who proposed to accompany the concubines to the funeral were directly exiled to the frontier under the state funeral amnesty, and the female dependents of the family were appointed as officials, and the men were assigned to hard labor, and in just a few words, several families were buried.

And at this time, the enthronement ceremony was finally prepared.

In the majestic imperial city, long carpets are laid between the corridors and stretch all the way to the palace hall.

Gu Chengyu was wearing a dragon robe and a crown, and then walked step by step on the dragon's back to the center of the main hall.

"Kneel! One kowtow! ”

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

Gu Chengyu's enthronement ceremony was infinitely beautiful, Wei Yanran stood among the ladies in court clothes, and secretly prayed in his heart that he could have a smooth life.

And just a few days later, when she was sitting in Hai Guifei's palace and picking up freshly delivered camellia with Hai Guifei, a little palace maid suddenly ran in from outside in a panic.

"It's not good. His Majesty was so angry when he went down to court, and His Majesty found out when he went to inquire. Some people say that the concubine Niangniang is not His Majesty's mother-in-law, and she cannot be respected as the queen mother! ”
