Chapter 38: The Aftermath



With that edict, everything was simple. Recommended [Jing'an]: / As usual, the emperor Zigong was suspended for seven days, and seven days later he was sent to Tailing for burial. On the second day, the emperor's grandson succeeded to the throne in front of the spirit, and the world was mourned for three years.

He wept and mourned before the spirit for three days in a row, fainted several times, and almost fainted again on the evening of the fourth day. Qi Huai and Qi Min couldn't bear to look at it, and asked someone to help me go back to rest, I didn't want to go back to Chenghuan Palace, so I was carried to Zichen Hall halfway to sort out Qiheng's relics.

I sat silently in front of the bed, slowly flipping through the clothes he had worn and the ornaments he had wore. He's such a rigid person, and even the ornaments seem monotonous and boring, if it weren't for the obedience of the uniform, I'm afraid he wouldn't even look at these gadgets? Come to think of it, I've never done anything for him myself.

Jiang Shouquan walked in with a stack of things in his red and swollen eyes, saluted me, handed over those things, and said, "These are the two wills that the emperor gave to the slave before, and the slave thinks that you have to take a look." ”

I looked at him with some doubts, could it be that Qi Heng really left a testament? When I opened the first decree, there were only a few numbers, but after reading it, I was shocked that I wanted to let the Zheng family be martyred after he drove him! I couldn't wait to read the second decree, and suddenly tears rained down, and I asked with sobs: "These two holy decrees were made before the death of the prince, right?"

Jiang Shouquan nodded and said, "Yes, the first emperor asked the servants to take it, and when the prince ascended the throne, he would open it in front of the civil and military officials, so that he would not ...... But unexpectedly, the prince and the Zheng family died one after another, and these two wills became a dead letter......" After finishing the words, it was already choked up.

I felt a dull pain in my heart, and when I saw that he had a rosewood box in his hand, I said, "What's that?"

The servant didn't know, but he saw that the emperor had to look at the contents of the box every night, and then put it on the pillow and fell asleep. Somehow...... As soon as Niangniang came, the emperor ordered the servants to put this away and take it out when Niangniang left. He handed it to me as he spoke.

I was about to pick up the box, but I heard footsteps, looking back to see that it was Qi Ming, he was holding a food box in his hand, and said: "It turns out that the Empress Dowager is here, Wei Chen ordered someone to prepare some soup and snacks, after the Empress Dowager has used it, take a good night's rest!"

I said lightly: "You put it down first." ”

He put down the food box, took out the white jade bowl from it, and said, "The Empress Dowager's health is important. ”

I ignored it, took the rosewood box, opened it, and was stunned. On the red velvet cushion inside, a piece of hair was lying quietly, and a few strands of silver hair were particularly eye-catching, which was knotted by his own hands that day.

"Married as husband and wife, love is not doubted......" I murmured.

Qi Min walked over, picked up two edicts and looked at them, put down one of them, and sneered: "Everyone else is dead, do you still expect the edict to protect you after death?" Then he threw the share in his hand into the charcoal stove, wafting a little burnt smell.

I held the braid in my hand and said coldly: "You also said that he is dead, why should you bother with it." ”

"Where am I obsessed, I just feel sorry for you!" he stood in front of me, his face full of frost, "He died for you, and you erased all the mistakes he made to you in the past!"

I lowered my head and said, "He also has his troubles, after all, he is the emperor." ”

Qi Min sneered, "Did you even find an excuse for him?"
