Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan, Mrs. Ma, and Li Qinghan waited quietly, waiting for the emperor to die

+++++++++++++++++++++ Li Qinghan didn't get angry this time, but pouted with a smile on his face.

Ma Xiaoquan swallowed his saliva fiercely, and finally couldn't help it, so he leaned up and kissed Li Qinghan's pretty face.

"Ah~~" Li Qinghan screamed and broke free.

Ma Xiaoquan also sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed the topic with a haha: "Sister-in-law, let's go to the main hall, grandma and uncle should be preparing"

Li Qinghan lowered his head and hummed softly

Coming to the main hall, Mrs. Ma and the housekeeper Ma Tong were preparing for the funeral in an orderly manner, the emperor had already sent someone before, and at this moment, Mrs. Ma was discussing the final funeral procedures with Ma Tong.

According to the usual practice, whenever the emperor dies, the officials who serve in the capital (including those who eat the rank of the imperial court) have to wear filial piety uniformly and keep filial piety for the emperor.

Mrs. Ma instructed her subordinates to give Ma Xiaoquan and Li Qinghan sackcloth clothes, and the two didn't say anything, and directly draped them on their bodies

The sky is gradually brightening, but there is an indescribable sense of depression in the whole city of Beijing.

Perhaps this was due to the sudden death of Emperor Zhu Changluo of Taichang, or perhaps this was the case with the city of Beijing.

"When~~~When~~~" A low and heavy bell rang out from the palace, announcing the death of Emperor Taichang.

The residents of the capital walked out of their homes and faced the palace, kneeling on the ground one after another, bowing three times and bowing nine times.

At the door of Ma's house, Mrs. Ma, Ma Tong, Li Qinghan and others also had a stern face, kneeling respectfully, while Ma Xiaoquan was "hard" supporting the ground with both hands, pretending to kneel.

"Damn, why is it so long, I can't hold it anymore"

Finally, the funeral brigade in the palace came, and when they saw that the Ma family was kneeling respectfully (except for Ma Xiaoquan, who was cheating, but I didn't pay attention), the person who took the lead helped Mrs. Ma up, and choked up: "Mrs. Ma, the emperor"

As Mrs. Yipin's edict, as a person who has come over, and as a ** lake who has experienced the death of the emperor, Mrs. Ma knows very well in her heart that the guy in front of her who took the lead in the funeral is pretending to cry, but everyone is pretending to cry, we have to follow up~ Mrs. Ma wow, wow, tears burst out of her eyes in an instant.

"The old woman is thanks to the love of the Wanli Emperor, and the care of the Taichang Emperor, and the Taichang Emperor suddenly suddenly I can't stand the old woman, I can't stand it," Mrs. Ma said, and seemed to be a little shaky.

Li Qinghan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Ma.

The person who took the lead glanced at Li Qinghan and was shocked by Li Qinghan's stunning appearance. Fortunately, the person who took the lead was not a womanizer, he just nodded, and then looked away from Li Qinghan.

"Old Madam Ma, you are old, I think you should go back and rest first, your mind, I think the emperor must know in Elysium"

Mrs. Ma nodded, and with Li Qinghan's support, she walked back to Ma's house.

Ma Xiaoquan followed behind Mrs. Ma and secretly glanced back at the leader who was running for funeral.

Unfortunately, the leader also happened to stare at Ma Xiaoquan, and Ma Xiaoquan turned his head this time, and the eyes of the two met.

"Huh? You're the fourth young master of the Ma family, aren't you? ”

Ma Xiaoquan secretly complained in his heart, so he had to stop and respond "respectfully": "Hello adults, I am the fourth young man of the Ma family." ”

The man frowned and said, "You come with me!" ”

"Huh? Me? Ma Xiaoquan pointed at himself in surprise.

"That's right, that's you! Come here! ”

Ma Xiaoquan looked at the man vigilantly, he wasn't afraid of this person, but he didn't know what this person suddenly called him?

Seeing Ma Xiaoquan's nervousness, the man said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, I just wanted to find you thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Hearing that it was His Royal Highness the Prince, Ma Xiaoquan breathed a sigh of relief.

stepped forward, the man handed Ma Xiaoquan a customs clearance document, and said: "This is the customs clearance document signed by the emperor himself before his death, you are afraid of making obstacles when you enter the palace as a grass citizen, take this, you can see the prince."

Ma Xiaoquan took the customs clearance document and asked, "My lord, where is the prince now?" ”

"Qianqing Palace!"

"Qianqing Palace? Not good! Ma Xiaoquan reacted suddenly, put away the customs clearance documents and ran.

"Stop, what's going on?"

Ma Xiaoquan stopped, turned around and said, "My lord, the prince may have an accident!" ”

"What?"

Ma Xiaoquan smiled secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he said: "Li Xuanzhi may poison His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"What? How can this be reasonable, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the next emperor, Li Xuanzhi is like this, you wait, I will go with you. ”

Ma Xiaoquan stopped: "Your Excellency, don't panic, I'm just guessing that even if Li Xuanzhi has the courage to do so, I'm afraid he won't dare to disadvantage His Royal Highness the Crown Prince soon." ”

"Oh~~ That's okay, you take the customs clearance documents and go first, I'm busy with the things at hand, and I'll go."

Ma Xiaoquan nodded, and then ran towards the palace

What the mourning adult said was right, with Ma Xiaoquan's current status as a grass citizen, it is indeed impossible to enter the palace. However, when Ma Xiaoquan showed the customs clearance documents, the situation was completely reversed.

In the surprised eyes, Ma Xiaoquan rushed to the front of the Qianqing Palace as if he was in a no-man's land.

At the gate of the palace, a large number of people such as the Jinyi Wei eunuch, the Yellow Gate, the Fire One, and the Ming Chen almost blocked the door, and Ma Xiaoquan knew that even if he took out the customs clearance documents at this time, it was estimated that it would not have much effect.

was hesitating about how to get in, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly felt as if he was being stared at, and when he looked up, not a few steps away from Ma Xiaoquan, it turned out to be Wang Tiqian.

"Damn, it's really a narrow road~" Ma Xiaoquan muttered in a low voice.

Wang Tiqian had seen Ma Xiaoquan a long time ago, although he was surprised how Ma Xiaoquan came in, but now that people have come in, there must be a way.

A few days ago, Ma Xiaoquan humiliated him in the Ma family, he has been thinking about how to find an opportunity to take revenge these days, and it just so happened that Ma Xiaoquan appeared in the Qianqing Palace.
