Chapter 317: The Death Knell Rings
(First update, thank you for your enthusiastic support, thank you.) οΌ
β¦β¦
Night.
The rain continued.
The wind is blowing.
"When! While! While! β
The bell rings, waking up the dreamer.
The dark room was squirming, and a little fire was burning more and more.
The candlelight was dazzling, Wu Fan squinted, pushed the window and looked out.
[Why do you ring the bell?] It's only been a few days! γ
Wu Fan secretly thought in his heart, almost thinking that he was sleeping in a daze and heard it wrong.
"When! While! While! β
The bell is melodious, spread to Luoyang City.
"Why doesn't my husband sleep?"
The eldest princess of Xiyue was also woken up, leaned on the edge of the bed, and asked in a daze.
Wu Fan sighed: "Today's morning bell rang so early, now ...... Can there be three watches? Not quite right! Not quite right! β
"When! While! While! β
The bell kept ringing, but it became more and more urgent.
"It's ......."
The eldest princess of Xiyue changed her spirit, got up and put on her clothes, and stood at the window with Wu Fan, listening attentively.
Long.
Yang Shuxian looked at Wu Fan and said, "This is ...... It's the death knell! It's not the morning bell! β
"Knell?"
Wu Fan was stunned.
The bell of Luoyang City and even Chang'an City in the past, in addition to getting up early to report the time, also has the function of reporting mourning.
But......
Only for the people of the imperial heavenly family and the royal family.
"When! While! While! While! β
When the bell dies down, for whom will it be tolled?
Yang Shuxian's complexion changed greatly, and she counted with her fingers for a while, and her pretty face turned pale. He pursed his lips and said, "Queen Mother...... Oh my God! β
"Are you sure?"
Wu Fan blurted out.
Yang Shuxian was extremely determined, and sighed: "Can't be wrong! If it is the Son of Heaven. The death knell should be fourteen times, and the first three three are nine. The last five are one, which means the ninety-five supreme. If it is a prince, there should be two less in the back...... Queen, one less, for thirteen times...... Thirteen times just now, absolutely! β
[Dead? γ
How is it possible? γ
Wu Fan was quite unbelievable.
Not long ago in Qifeng Palace, when Wu Fan met Queen Dugu, he tried to find out what kind of illness Queen Dugu got because of the diffuse smell of medicine, and the result was that Queen Dugu was not sick at all.
Since there is no disease. How did that die?
[Assassinated? γ
γImpossible!γ γ
[There are Qianniu Guard, Yulin Guard, and even the mysterious greedy wolf guard in the palace, who can succeed! ] γ
[Old death? γ
[It's even more impossible!] γ
[Queen Dugu is only in her fifties! ] γ
Wu Fan's thoughts turned a thousand times, and he was stunned for a while.
The eldest princess of Xiyue had already shouted to the outhouse, "Red sleeves? Tea? Quickly find me mourning clothes, freshen up, and enter the palace immediately! β
Wu Fan turned his head to look at Yang Shuxian, frowned and said, "I'm afraid that there will be chaos in the palace, what are you going to do?" β
Yang Shuxian said quietly: "I have to go to reason and law." Don't forget who I am! You'll have to come with me, too! β
Yang Shuxian is the only eldest princess in the empire, the daughter of the king of the backer, and in terms of blood, she has a good relationship with the royal family of the Heavenly Family. It's an uncle......
"I really have to go!"
Wu Fan sighed.
Soon.
After freshening up, Wu Fan and Yang Shuxian all changed into plain black clothes and rode in a carriage. Go to the Royal Palace.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Qifeng Palace.
The hall was full of palace daughters and Huang Men'er, and no one dared to raise their heads. Gu was trembling.
The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
Yang Tianzi sat on the edge of the bed blankly, with a pair of tiger eyes. The old tears are ......
Queen Dugu was lying on her back, her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and she had lost her breath.
Yang Tianzi moved, grabbed Queen Dugu's hand with both hands, and put it on his old cheek......
"The Queen Mother! Queen mother! β
Two people rushed into the main hall.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, leading an older boy, ran in with teary eyes.
Queen Dugu had three sons and one daughter, the crown prince Yang Yong, the king of Han Yang Wu, the king of Lu Yang Lie, and the princess of Leping Yang Yi.
It was the two little ones who came, Princess Yang Yi of Leping and Yang Lie, King of Lu.
Princess Leping was early in the age of Xiaoshi, and after coming over, the corpse cried bitterly.
King Lu Yang Lie didn't understand much, but he felt that it was a little abnormal, so he ran to Queen Dugu and cried: "Queen Mother? Queen mother! Hurry up......"
Yang Tianzi grabbed Yang Lie, King of Lu, and the tears in his eyes were like beads with broken threads.
Outside the palace, there are princes, princesses, concubines, etc., who are not related by blood, and most of them pretend to wipe their tears and kneel in a row without squeaking.
"Father."
A slightly immature call, the tone is full of charm that makes people listen quietly.
Yang Tianzi turned his head to look.
In front of Yang Tianzi, I don't know when there was a prince about the size of Princess Leping.
This prince was born with dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, elegant demeanor, dressed in plain black mourning clothes, and gave people an awkward feeling in his gestures, probably - a little cub pretending to be an adult.
The Seven Princes, the King of Shu, Yang Xiong.
Yang Tianzi's love was very low, and his eyes were blank.
Yang Xiong, the king of Shu, knocked and said: "The queen mother passed away suddenly, and everyone in the world can grieve, but the only father and the emperor can't!" Father is the ...... of the Empire's Optimus Pillar", looking up and seeing that Yang Tianzi's expression didn't seem to be very good, Yang Xiong, the king of Shu, changed his words without leaving a trace: "The aftermath of the queen mother, waiting for the father to deal with it!" Nickname, Tomb Selection...... Outside the Gate of Heaven, there must be a lot of people coming at this time, waiting for the summons of the father......"
Yang Tianzi waved his hand, wiped his tears, and said, "You reminded you right!" Huang De? β
"Slave here!"
The chief eunuch Huang De hurriedly ran over.
Yang Tianzi said: "Go to the decree of Tianmen and let people in!" β
"Whoa!"
The inner eunuch Huang De responded to the order.

Chu Wangfu.
After the death knell rang, Yang Jue fell silent and sat quietly for half an hour.
Xiao Shi stood aside cautiously, holding the mourning clothes to be changed for Yang Jue in his hand.
Finally couldn't help it, Xiao Shi opened his mouth and reminded: "Your Highness, you should go to the palace for funeral." If you don't go again, I'm afraid the Son of Heaven will be dissatisfied. β
"No!"
"He won't be dissatisfied!"
"Absolutely not!"
Yang Jue stood up with a strange smile on his face.
Xiao lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
Yang Jue said quietly: "I said a long time ago, don't underestimate the courage of your father, it is far more courageous than the first emperor!" β
Xiao shivered.
Yang Jue said slowly: "Queen Dugu is in one day, and the drama of the prince seizing the heir, there will be no real fairness." I know, the King of Shu knows, so the King of Shu chose to go out to study before and not participate for the time being...... And I'm a little smarter than him! The more he spoke, the more urgent Yang Jue's tone became; The more he said, the more crazy Yang Jue's face became: "My father now has a total of seven sons, and three of them are still wearing open crotch pants!" If no one has shown the ability to challenge the crown prince and the Han king, how can the father show his courage? Here's my chance! The real one is coming! β
"Hehehe......."
Yang Jue smiled lowly.
"Woo-woo-woo......."
Yang Jue cried lowly.
The face that keeps changing laughing and crying makes people shudder.
Shaw's head pressed even lower.
Yang Jue stretched out his hand to pick up Xiao's chin, his emotions were normal, and his eyes were blurred and murmured: "Actually, we are all stupid people!" Ten years ago, the fourth brother figured out a thing, so he couldn't wait to challenge the crown prince and the king of Han, hoping to break that balance. But...... He is clever but he is mistaken by cleverness! At that time, his father was strong and strong, and he was far from being able to ...... Before the fourth brother died...... I'm stupid, stupid! It's stupid......"
Yang Jue's voice gradually became smaller and smaller, and disappeared into nothingness.
"Change!"
Yang Jue opened his arms and closed his eyes to wait.
Xiao Shi gently and diligently untied Yang Jue's wide clothes and changed into clothes suitable for condolences.

Ying Tianmen.
Constantly opening the door curtain and looking out, Wu Fan looked a little impatient.
The eldest princess of Xiyue stroked her lower abdomen with her hand, and her feelings were low.
There was no sign of the door opening, but the carriages and horses outside slowly gathered and multiplied.
Wu Fan looked outside, and suddenly asked, "Shuxian, when you came back from Yan Kingdom last year, you should have met the queen mother, right?" β
The eldest princess Xiyue was stunned for a moment and replied: "When I first came back, I stayed in the Ziwei Palace for three days, and often met with the queen mother. β
Wu Fan nodded.
Wu Fan asked again: "That...... At that time, was the queen mother in good health? β
Yang Shuxian didn't know what Wu Fan meant, and thought about it: "Okay! I remember that the queen was in good health at that time. β
Wu Fan frowned.
Long.
Wu Fan probed outside and said to Ma Wu, who accompanied him: "You go back and look for Lan Xin...... Mr. Lan, let her check the imperial doctor of the palace if there has been any change in the past six months, immediately! Right away! β
Ma Wu clenched his fists and arched his hands, put on his robe, and rode away.
Wu Fan leaned on the carriage, uncertain in his heart.
Wu Fan eagerly wanted to cross the gate, and then determine one thing-how did Queen Dugu die!!
