Chapter Thirty-Eight: I'm Scared

On the second day, Liu Xie still knelt on the side of the mourning bed as yesterday, howling twice from time to time, but slowly found that the mourning hall became weird, at first it was just a few important ministers whispering, and slowly more and more courtiers participated in the discussion, and some even quarreled angrily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Liu Xie was very puzzled in his heart, how could these courtiers quarrel regardless of etiquette during Emperor Ling's funeral. After listening carefully, he knew that it was the young emperor who refused to come to the mourning hall by fake Liu Bian, and also issued an order urging the funeral of Emperor Ling of Han to be completed within a few days. Liu Xie shook his head with a smile, Emperor Ling mourned him and faked Liu to argue that he couldn't come because he was sick, and he even dared to urge to shorten the time of the funeral, which must have a reputation for unfilial piety, and it was no wonder that these courtiers were angry one by one.

Bang, Empress Dowager Dong slammed the teacup on the ground, and pointed at Empress Dowager He tremblingly: "He Lian, how can the gift be wasted!" The mourning family will never allow His Majesty's funeral to be simplified. ”

"The Empress Dowager, it's not that the mourning family wants to simplify the funeral of the first emperor, but the young emperor is seriously ill because of the funeral, which is really not good for the country, so he has to make this decision." The Empress Dowager He Lian looked helpless, but secretly scanned everything in the dormitory with the corner of her eye, thinking about how to make a request to search this Yongle Palace.

The general He Jin searched the Jiade Hall and did not find the jade seal of the country, yesterday in Liu Xie's Yongxin Palace was still not found, the Empress Dowager He Lian came to this Yongle Palace today, one is to tell the Empress Dowager Dong that she wants to handle the funeral of Emperor Ling; The second is to find an excuse to search this Yongle Palace.

"Young Emperor? Hahaha~, dare to call yourself the emperor if you don't have the right name? Empress Dowager Dong laughed coldly.

"The victor is the prince and the loser is Kou, not to mention that the debate is the eldest son, and he is supported by the ministers, why can't he be called the emperor!" The Empress Dowager He Lian looked at the appearance of the Empress Dowager Dong, and became more and more sure that the jade seal was in the hands of this old immortal, "Empress Dowager, I, He Lian, also advise you......"

"Queen Mother." A hurried shout interrupted He Lian, who was about to force the palace, and the servant Gao Wang hurriedly broke in, attached to He Lian's ear, and whispered: "Queen Mother, the jade seal of the country has been found." ”

"Really?" The Empress Dowager He Lian grabbed Gao Wang in surprise, and after seeing him nodding constantly, she was relieved, "Empress Dowager, the body of the first emperor will be sent to Wenling in a few days, you should take the time to take a look, and the mourning family will not disturb your old age." ”

"My Han rules the world with filial piety, you, you~" Empress Dowager Dong was so angry that she shouted and fainted.

"Where did you find the heirloom jade seal?" As soon as He Lian walked out of Yongle Palace, she couldn't wait to ask.

"I found it in a dry well, and there is also the body of a maid, I think it was Jian Shuo who handed over the jade seal of the country to her." Gao Wang supported the Queen Mother He Lian to board the Luan car.

"Hmph, when I found the jade seal of the country, I let go of the mourning family, and I don't have to worry about this old thing." He Lian looked at Yongle Palace indignantly, "If only I could drive this old thing out of the palace." ”

"The Queen Mother, my Han Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, if the Empress Dowager is forcibly driven out of the palace, it will have too much impact on Your Majesty's reputation!"

"Alas, the mourning family also understands that this is just an angry word, can we still expect this old thing to leave on its own?"

When Gao Wang heard He Lian's words, his eyes lit up, and he said gloomily: "Queen Mother, it's better to find the Prince Association, give him some sweetness, and let him persuade the Queen Mother, this matter may be okay." ”

Well, Queen Mother He Lian's eyes lit up, "Wonderful, this ancestor and grandson have a very good relationship, Liu Xie may really be able to persuade this old thing, it's a big deal to give him a throne in advance." ”

"If it doesn't work, we will force the life of the prince's association to ......"

"Hahaha~, the mourning family is going to meet Liu Xie tonight."

"No!"

"The Queen Mother has arrived."

Liu Xiezheng was lying drowsy in the mourning hall, and when he heard the praise of the attendant, he hurriedly turned over and knelt down, secretly guessing in his heart the purpose of He Lian's coming to the Jiade Hall at this time.

"Your Majesty~,......" He Lian stretched out her voice as soon as she entered the mourning hall, cried and threw herself in front of the mourning bed, and cried for a moment before she stopped crying under the persuasion of Gao Wang and others.

"Let's all stand down." He Lian wiped away her tears with a hand towel, withdrew the chamberlain and the palace maid, and came to Liu Xie's approach.

"Xie, meet the Queen Mother." Liu Xie's face was mournful and honored, and he paid a big salute respectfully.

"Let's be flat, it's just our mother and son here, so we don't have to be formal." The Empress Dowager He Lian tried her best to control her voice peacefully and cordially, but her eyes were firmly fixed on Liu Xie, not letting go of any expression on his face.

"Empress Dowager Xie." Liu Xie got up and showed a slightly frightened expression as if acting, glanced at He Lian, and hung his head tightly, this was the first time he had seen He Lian, his posture was really good, his body was plump, his skin was clear, and his facial features were very attractive.

"Your imperial brother is suffering from a vicious illness due to the spirit guard, and he wants to handle the funeral of the first emperor, is this matter feasible in your opinion?" Seeing Liu Xie's panicked expression, the corners of He Lian's mouth turned up slightly.

"This~" Liu Xie groaned, with a complicated expression on his face.

"Forget it, forget it, the matter of the first emperor is decided, and then you will replace the young emperor and send the first emperor to Wenling." He Lian waved her hand and secretly counted a few words to herself, how big a nine-year-old child can be? I'm trying to find out what to do. "You have been close to the Empress Dowager since you were a child, and you also know that her health has been poor since the death of His Majesty's first emperor. The mourning family wants you to persuade the Empress Dowager to find a place with good feng shui to retire. As soon as you accomplish this, the mourning family will immediately ask His Majesty to make you king, and will also grant you a rich and vast fief. ”

"I see, I actually want to drive the Empress Dowager Dong out of the palace, is this a mountain that can't accommodate two tigers? However, this is also to my heart. Liu Xie immediately showed a surprised expression and knelt on the ground again, "Please rest assured that the Queen Mother will definitely handle this matter properly." ”

"Oh, well, after the deed is done, the mourning family will never treat you badly." He Lian was suddenly overjoyed, "It's also very hard for you to keep the spirit here, if you need anything, let those minions prepare, and pay more attention to your body." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie cares." Liu Xie was moved to tears, and he was grateful to Dade for sending He Lian out of the hall.

"Do you know, why the thief is in a hurry to send the first emperor away?" On the third day, Tang Yue took advantage of the fact that no one was around, and asked Liu Xie and Liu Mu, the princess of Wannian, with a smile on her face.

"Is there anything going on? Good sister, don't sell it, tell us quickly. Liu Mu grabbed Tang Yue's arm and shook it with a curious expression.

Before Tang Yue could speak, her face turned red first, and she said in a low voice: "Last night, the slave family heard the roar from the thief's bedroom, so they secretly eavesdropped outside the window...... Unable to do anything, the thief killed several palace maids in a row in a row in a fit of shame. ”

"Puff~, okay, great." Liu Mu jumped up happily, "This is called evil retribution." ”

"Did he tell Empress Dowager He and the others about this?" Liu Xie's heart also felt a lot lighter.

"Where does he have the face to tell others, he just secretly summoned the imperial doctor to treat him."

"Okay, this is very good news, but Sister Yue, you have to be more careful, in case this thief distorts his mind and does something unreasonable under the sudden change." Liu Xie said with concern.

"Well, the slaves will be careful." Tang Yue responded beautifully in her heart.

Liu Xie nodded with a smile, and said to Liu Mu again: "Sister, grandma, you have to hurry up, it's best to leave Luoyang with the imperial grandmother after your father's funeral." ”

"Hmph, are you in such a hurry to get us away?" Liu Mu pursed his lips with great dissatisfaction, "Don't worry, Grandma Huang has already agreed." ”
