Chapter 54: The Death of Shengyu

The palace maid saw that Shengyu looked suspicious, her face turned pale, and she didn't know what was going on, so she immediately supported Shengyu and returned to the inner room, while reporting to the queen.

Queen Kiko led the medical officer to hurry over, and saw Shengyu lying on the couch with a depressed expression. Noriko was very busy, and the medical officer came forward to see him.

The medical officer knelt down in front of the couch, looked at the colors, asked about daily life and food, and checked the pulse for a while, saying that the princess was fine, but that she was a little weak. Now the season is cold, as long as you take care of yourself and rest quietly, you will be healed. Then the prescription was given, and the queen ordered to go down, and did not mention the decoction for Shengyu.

On this day, Shengyu felt a little better, so she struggled to get up, and the palace maids groomed and dressed her. Shengyu looked carefully in front of the bronze mirror for a while, and saw the girl in the bronze mirror, with a pair of thin eyebrows and slight cheeks, a golden hairpin on her head, and a white plain skirt, with a graceful posture; Although he is sick, he is still powdered and fattened, and he has beaten the peach blossoms.

Lying in bed for the past few days was really stuffy, Shengyu wanted to go out to relax, walked out of the dormitory, and came to the small garden outside.

Because of Shengyu's illness, the palace maids who served in the princess's dormitory stayed up all night, and because of their diligent vision, Shengyu gradually recovered. Those palace maids didn't sleep soundly and lost sleep, and some went to the side room to make up for sleep, and only two little palace maids followed Shengyu out.

Shengyu still went to see the fish for a while, thinking that the fish was still there in front of him, but the old man was nowhere to be found, so he touched his heart, saw things and thought about people, and couldn't help but shed a few tears.

Shengyu turned around and saw that the two maids did not follow closely, nor did they pay attention to this side, they leaned against the wooden fence to watch the fish in the water chatter and the falling flowers on the water. Shengyu slowly approached the edge of the pool, looked at his own reflection on the water, and was stunned.

Thinking that he was living in the courtyard of the deep palace, even if he had all kinds of things on his mind, there was no one to sue. Although the queen mother is also very doting on herself and knows her own thoughts, the queen mother is a person centered on her father, and in her eyes, she must look forward to her father. And the father is high, and it can be seen that the father does things without considering his own feelings when he gives leftover fish at the time of the meal that day, and in his eyes, he is just a child.

And Ziwen is the person who can make himself the most happy in the limited range of contact with men. From the day he moved into the palace with his father, in the eyes of an 8-year-old girl, Ziwen appeared in her life.

Those past events flashed in my mind one by one. Shengyu sighed, now that Ziwen has gone, he has lost all his thoughts.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Katsuyu jumped forward and jumped into the lake.

"Poof", waves splashed on the water, and the two palace maids saw a white figure falling into the lake, and the huge sound frightened the birds in the trees to fly. The mouths of the two palace maids instantly turned O-shaped, and they couldn't scream there.

Seeing that the white skirt slowly fell to the surface of the water, Shengyu in the water did not flutter, let alone call sign. She sank silently, looking serene.

The red carp were also frightened by the unexpected sound and sank to the bottom of the water, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The two palace maids figured it out before they shouted for help. The panicked shouts alarmed the palace maids in the house, and the palace eunuchs in the distance rushed to the fish pond after hearing the strangeness, but they only saw ripples on the water surface, and long strings of bubbles appeared on the water surface, and there was nothing in the center of the water pattern.

The two palace maids pointed to the place where Shengyu fell into the water, and spoke incoherently. Those palace eunuchs didn't dare to delay, so they jumped into the water in a mess, ready to save people.

Several palace eunuchs searched in the water for a while, and Fang fished up Shengyu in a white dress. At this time, Shengyu's eyes were closed, his teeth were clenched, and his red lips were already a little black. A palace supervisor sniffed at Shengyu's snort and shook his head.

There was a mess here, and they all looked at Shengyu in the arms of the palace eunuch and didn't know what to do. When Queen Noriko and the medical officer arrived, Katsuyu had already been placed on top of her sleep. The palace maids had already taken off her wet clothes and covered her with brocade quilts, and a group of maids were standing by the couch and weeping, looking sad.

Noriko was already crying when she saw this. The medical officer went up to examine him for a while, pressed the middle of the man, felt his pulse for a while, and then knelt down and reported to the queen: The princess is gone! Then the medic withdrew, waiting outside.

And the people of the house began to weep bitterly. Queen Kiko is a mourning woman and a beloved daughter. The palace ladies were not, mainly crying that they were going to be in great trouble. Knowing that King Wu loves Shengyu very much, the princess committed suicide by jumping into the lake today, and these palace people who accompanied her were inseparable.

The whole room was full of mourning. At this time, I saw King Wu hurrying with a group of guards, and when he saw this situation, he knew that he had no skills to return to the sky. He Lu entered Shengyu's bedroom, and when he saw Shengyu's face as pale as life, he couldn't help but feel sad.

After each of them cried out in mourning for a while, King Wu ordered the guards to imprison all the maids and palace supervisors serving in Shengyu's dormitory on the spot for interrogation. Then he ordered the national teacher (sorcerer) to hold a funeral ceremony for Shengyu and send the soul of the woman back to heaven.

Because He Lu loves this woman very much, she died today, and wants to bury her beloved daughter on a large scale.

In a side room of Katsuyu's dormitory, a total of 12 Katsuyu's maidservants were imprisoned. That night, several palace eunuchs came, holding white silk in their hands, standing in front of everyone.

The palace supervisor said: "This time the princess returned to heaven, you and others neglected their duties and did not take good care of them, and the king was very angry!" The king thinks that the princess is alone, and she is lonely in heaven, and you have served the princess for many years, so go with the princess, and it will not be in vain for you to wait for a service. ”

However, the ** supervisor was given Bai Aya, and these palace maids knew that they were in a catastrophe, and they had already begun to cry bitterly.

Under the supervision of the palace eunuchs, these 12 palace maids swayed and hung on the white silk on the beam, and the 12 souls were long, and they were martyred for Shengyu!

The death of Yu Yu made the national teacher look for the place of burial. Later, a flat land twenty miles away from the direction of Changmen was selected, where the feng shui was excellent, and it was a funeral treasure place.

King Wu ordered Wu Guofu to dig a huge pond in the Shengyu cemetery, and then pile the excavated soil in the middle, and build a burial chamber for storing the coffin with stones in the mound. A long passage was built to connect the shore. After the construction was completed, a huge pond was filled with water, and the burial chamber was installed in the lake. According to the ancient funeral customs of Wu Yue, it is called in history: "digging the pond and accumulating soil, and the place where it is chiseled becomes Taihu Lake".

King Wu ordered that Nanmu be used as a coffin, covered with cowhide, sealed with rosin, and made of boulders on the outside, carved with exquisite patterns. And with a large number of treasures of silk and satin, the golden jade cup for its burial. Almost half of the jewels in the treasury of Wu Guo were used up, and they were very luxurious.

He Lu was still uneasy, thinking that when Shengyu was there, he loved the sword of "Panying" very much, and then died with this sword.

When it comes to the burial period, the city of Gusu is very lively. First, hundreds of people performed the "Dance of the White Cranes" in front of them, each holding a white crane with white silk paste. This white crane is made of bamboo branches into a skeleton, and then pasted with white silk, shaped like a white crane. There is a mechanism hidden in the skeleton, and the white crane can dance by pulling the hidden twine. It caused a lot of people to watch and follow, and they all wanted to see the excitement.

In the middle is the funeral coffin procession, a piece of white flowers. Behind it was an ox cart pulling the funeral goods, all decorated with white silk, and the entire funeral procession was mighty and came to Shengyu's cemetery.

The funeral procession walked very slowly, and the white crane dance performed extremely hard. More and more people watched, almost more than 10,000 people. It is difficult to distinguish between the lively and funeral processions. The mourners did not drive away, and seemed to welcome the people to join them.

The White Crane team danced and walked towards the princess's tomb, and when they heard that it was built in a luxurious way, the common people also wanted to open their eyes by the way, so they swarmed in with the procession.

While the people were talking and sighing in the huge tomb with great interest, they saw a large number of armor soldiers at the end of the only passage behind them, all armed and guarding the entrance of the tomb, which was the only exit that could be connected to the outside world.

Desperate eyes filled the entire tomb. But when these people came to their senses, they saw the huge stone gate slowly falling.

This group of people was like frightened birds, and those who reacted quickly rushed to the door and fled, trampled to death, and countless were killed by the armor soldiers outside. And most of them were forever isolated in the tomb by that stone gate, and became Shengyu's funerary objects.

With a "boom", the stone door fell to the lowest, completely drowning those people's desire to survive, and there was only a long darkness in the tomb, accompanied by those unjust souls.

Later, he said: "Let my daughter have 10,000 martyrs, and she will not be lonely!" "So the ancients commented: Killing and sending death is unreasonable!"

After Shengyu's funeral, He Lu set his sights on Weiguo and always paid attention to the news of leaving.
