Chapter 732 Funeral
Mu Xiwan returned home with something on her mind, and what she still remembered in her heart was what the female official had told her before.
Although Mu Xiwan also assured the female officer that such a thing would not happen, but in this matter, Mu Xiwan didn't count.
So after thinking about it, Mu Xiwan decided to tell Feng Chengyi about this matter.
Feng Chengyi is now the crown prince, that is, the future emperor, if the old emperor really arrives on the day of returning to heaven, then Feng Chengyi will definitely have the final say on the ending of the female dependents in the palace.
After thinking of this, Mu Xiwan immediately went to find Feng Chengyi, and Feng Chengyi was in the study at this time, dealing with some official documents.
"Cheng Yi!"
Before the evening arrived, the voice passed first, Feng Chengyi gently put down the official document in his hand, and then looked up in the direction where the voice came.
After a while, the evening came, and the corners of Feng Chengyi's mouth subconsciously rose.
"Sorry for the night, you're here, is there something wrong!"
Feng Chengyi said as he sorted out the official documents, then stood up and walked towards Mu Xiwan.
Then the two sat down at the table together, Feng Chengyi poured a cup of tea for Mu Xiwan again, and at the same time found the sorrow on Mu Xiwan's face.
"Sorry for the night, you seem to have something on your mind, you should have come to me to talk about it!"
"Cheng Yi...... I ......"
Faced with Feng Chengyi's inquiry, Mu Xiwan didn't know how to speak.
But this matter, after all, is related to the life and death of the harem ladies, they are all fresh lives, if they are really buried for the old emperor, then how can Mu Xiwan bear it.
"Chengyi, today I met a female official, she claimed to be a personal palace maid next to a certain lady, and she quietly asked me about ...... Concerning...... Some of my father's death, she asked me if my father really arrived on that day, whether the ladies of the harem would have to bury him! ”
Although the old emperor is very sick now, no one outside dares to casually mention his posthumous affairs.
This is why it is a little difficult to ask.
And after Feng Chengyi listened to Mu Xiwan's words, he really didn't say anything, although he has accepted this matter now, he still doesn't want to mention it himself.
Mu Xiwan understood Feng Chengyi's mood, so she didn't continue to ask, but she also believed that Feng Chengyi would definitely be able to give herself the best explanation.
It wasn't until after a long while that Mu Xiwan heard Feng Chengyi's sigh, and then he said slowly.
"Regarding the funeral matter, although there have been other ancestors who have had old calendars before, but the funeral system is not approved by every generation of kings, so about this matter, my idea is not to let the female dependents accompany the burial, and all their youth is given to the palace, so I also hope that they can have a good home in their old age!"
Feng Chengyi said slowly, the words in his heart, although his tone was flat, but Mu Xiwan knew that what he said was serious.
After listening to this, Mu Xiwan also nodded slowly and continued to ask.
"Since you don't plan to let them bury the phoenix, it's the best, then what are you going to do with them!"
"Well, if they are willing to stay in the palace, they will stay in the palace, if they are unwilling, they can also move to the palace, as for some elderly female officials and palace maids, it depends on their own, all those who are willing to leave the palace are allowed to leave the palace, and those who are not willing to leave the palace can also serve the old master!"
"Well, your arrangement is very good, I believe those ladies will be very happy when they hear about it!"
Mu Xiwan praised Feng Chengyi with a smile, but Feng Chengyi didn't mean to be happy at all.
Although some things have to be faced after all, he really doesn't want to start planning for his aftermath when the old emperor has not left.
And Mu Xiwan naturally knew Feng Chengyi's thoughts, so he didn't say much at this time.
Mu Xiwan knew in her heart that in this situation, wordless companionship was the most precious.
……
After that, the time was the same as usual, because the old emperor's body was getting worse and worse, so Feng Chengyi became more and more busy.
Mu Xiwan is naturally as usual, taking care of the affairs in the prince's mansion while taking care of a pair of children, although the daily life is a little boring and boring, but the plain is also very good.
But just a few days later, an oracle suddenly reached the prince's mansion, and Mu Xiwan recognized at a glance that the father-in-law who passed the oracle was the person who served the emperor closely.
"Crown Princess, Crown Princess......"
The father-in-law looked a little flustered, and his expression was also tinged with a hint of sadness, as soon as Mu Xiwan saw him like this, he had a premonition that something big was about to happen.
"Father-in-law, why are you so panicked, you speak slowly, don't worry!"
"Crown princess, the old slave has come to pass on the emperor's message, please take the two imperial grandsons to the emperor's palace immediately, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also there!"
"Go now!"
"Yes, right away!"
The words of the father-in-law have all been said to this point, how could Mu Xiwan not hear the seriousness of the matter.
It's just that she didn't expect this day to come so quickly, presumably Feng Chengyi must have died of sadness at this time.
So after thinking of this, Mu Xiwan didn't care about any manners, she took the two children directly, and hurriedly followed her father-in-law into the emperor's bedroom.
Before entering the dormitory, Mu Xiwan imagined many kinds of what kind of scenes would happen after entering the dormitory.
Maybe the old emperor is already dying at this time, and he just wants to see his emperor and grandson one last time before leaving, or maybe he may have swallowed his last breath and left the west.
Mu Xiwan didn't dare to think about it anymore, because no matter which one it was, the ending would be the same sad after all.
But Mu Xiwan never expected that when she walked into the emperor's bedroom with her two children, she found that the emperor was talking to Feng Chengyi with a ruddy face.
"Your Majesty, Kaonu has invited the crown princess and the two imperial grandsons over!"
The father-in-law took the lead and went in to interrupt the conversation between the emperor and Feng Chengyi.
Then Mu Xiwan also walked into the emperor with the children, and then saluted the emperor in unison.
"Son-in-law, see father!"
"Ling'er, Yu'er, see Grandpa Huang, long live Grandpa Huang, long live Long live!"
Mu Xiwan and the children knelt in front of the emperor's bed.
When the emperor saw the two children, he smiled happily all of a sudden, and then took the initiative to get up and pull the two children to his side.
"Come on, come on, let the imperial grandfather take a good look at the two of you!"
The emperor put the two children on his lap one left and one right, and then hugged them affectionately and talked to them.
Mu Xiwan quietly retreated to Feng Chengyi's side at this time, and then gave Feng Chengyi a look.
And after receiving Mu Xiwan's eyes, Feng Chengyi didn't say anything, he just closed his eyes and shook his head slowly, and then showed an extremely sad look.
