Mianmian's gaze fell on the tall star-picking tower in front of him. She once climbed to the star-picking tower with him one night and looked at the stars within reach all night.

No matter how beautiful the stars are, they will never be obtained. That day, she was like a study, and she not only saw those paintings, but also saw a letter, a letter about the past, about Liluo.

She glanced back at the little chamberlain behind her, and when they saw Mianmian looking at her, their eyes became cringe, and they didn't dare to take a step forward.

Mianmian quickened her pace, ran into the star-picking building, slammed the door shut, and bolted the door firmly with a latch.

"Queen Mother! Queen Mother! The palace people banged on the wooden door and watched Mianmian barefoot, walking towards the highest point of the Star Picking Tower one by one. It's a secluded place in the palace, and it's late at night, so it's easy for no one to come.

"Mianmian! Continuous! Song Yuxun, who got the news in the study and came in a hurry, hurriedly ran to the bottom of the star-picking building, and by the cold moonlight, he saw the scene of Mianmian running barefoot to the highest part of the star-picking building.

"Knock the door open." Song Yuxun said, did not dare to hesitate at all, and slammed the door with his body. When the little chamberlains saw it, they also followed Song Yuxun and slammed their bodies against the door.

"Bang! Bang! One loud bang after another resounded throughout the palace. Finally, after many joint impacts by everyone, the sturdy palace gate collapsed.

"Your Majesty." Everyone helped Song Yuxun, who fell to the ground. Because of the excessive force just now, large and small bruises have appeared on his arms.

"Mianmian." Song Yu couldn't take care of himself, and looked up at Mianmian, who had already reached the top.

"You wait for me, you wait for me!" Song Yu said something and couldn't wait to run to the highest place in the Star Picking Tower.

In the distance, he seemed to see Mianmian open his mouth and say something. But he was too far away to hear clearly. Immediately after, Mianmian smiled dismally at him, and in the moonlight, like a butterfly about to fly, jumped down from the highest point of the Star Picking Tower in front of his eyes.

Song Yuxun stood in place, as if stunned as a sculpture, and did not move for a long time.

......

It's dawn.

When the courtiers came to see them, the courtiers walked on the palace road, and suddenly heard the death knell ringing in the palace, and they all stopped.

As soon as they entered the Shenwu Gate this morning, they saw that the palace maids and chamberlains in the palace were all wearing plain white clothes, and they knew that there was a funeral in the palace.

If it were not for the state funeral, the death knell in the palace would not have sounded.

"Have you heard, last night, the queen died."

"I heard."

"The emperor has always loved his mother, and I don't know if he will go to court as usual today."

"What do you say this is for, Queen Mother......"

"I've heard that the queen mother has been depressed since she became pregnant with the dragon seed. Yesterday, the prince took his family to the palace, and the queen was gone in the evening. As for why it didn't happen, the news in the palace was very strict. ”

"You say, will it ......?"

The officials whispered, and the more they talked, the more outrageous they became, and suddenly they all stopped when they saw Song Yuchen walking by in a hurry.

In the court, all the officials arrived, and seeing that the emperor, who usually arrived at the palace early, was still not present, he began to whisper again. Song Yuchen saw it, squinted his eyes and glanced at them, and they restrained a little.

When the time went to the court, the leak just dropped to the time of the morning, and a bright yellow figure appeared outside the Jinluan Palace.

The young Son of Heaven was still the same high-spirited and scolding appearance, and as soon as he appeared, the huge Jinluan Hall was silent.

Song Yuxun strode to the front of the hall and sat down on the dragon chair: "I heard that from the last dynasty to the present, there have always been people talking in private, thinking that if I lose the queen, I will be in a state of collapse from now on?" ”

The courtiers bent down one after another: "The ministers don't dare." ”

"That being the case, go to court as usual. As for the loss of her beloved son and the death of her heart palpitations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites will handle it. Anyone who is in Beijing, an official of the seventh grade or above, will participate in the posthumous ceremony of the late queen after noon. ”

Suicide is a royal sin. Although the rumor of the queen's suicide has now spread like wings, he always has to say this to maintain the last dignity of Mianmian.

"Yes." The officials answered in unison.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a book." Song Yuxun sat on the dragon chair and said.

After a long while, there was still silence in the court.

"Don't you all Aiqing have anything to report to me today?" Song Yuxun asked, his words revealing a majesty that was even more majestic than before.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music." Sun Lianji of the Criminal Department boldly stood up: "What the minister wants to play is about the case of a mysterious killer outside the royal city, a few days ago, the criminal department found dozens of bodies of black-clothed killers on the winding mountain road outside the royal city, and now it is widely circulated among the people, causing panic among the people, and the matter is serious." ”

However, because no other living mouth was found at the scene except for the groom, it was difficult to obtain evidence. It's just that according to Ma Fu's confession, the killer who went out that day is suspected to be Lei Wuyu's old dart bureau. Master Shi, who was transferred to Qishan, passed through the winding mountain road and rescued the target of the killer. ”

Hearing this, Song Yuchen raised his head slightly.

He had heard this matter from the chief guard of the house. Probably, what Shi Wuyue saved was Shi Qingran. It's just that these people are really Lei Wuyu's subordinates?

If Lei Wuyu still has a brother who can be born and die, how can he assassinate him alone? How could they go to Panshan Road alone, and before they rushed there, they had already attacked Shi Qingran.

Or is there someone else who wants to put time to death?!

"Your Majesty." Sun Lianji knelt down: "Lord Shi is now a local county order, and it is not within the jurisdiction of the ministers, and Weichen implores the emperor to allow Weichen to send someone to inquire about this matter from Lord Shi." ”

"Yes." Song Yu is looking for a thousand words.

"Is there anything else?" Song Yuxun asked again. I couldn't hear the voices of these old ministers for a long time, so he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have a book, and you have nothing to do to retreat from the court." ”

Just when everyone thought that nothing was about to disperse, the prime minister stepped forward: "Your Majesty, minister...... There is a kick-off. With that, Su Xiang walked out of the group of ministers and knelt at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Su Xiang commanded Wen Chen, co-led the six departments, and was the head of the Chinese officials of the DPRK, and in terms of the strength of the DPRK alone, it was comparable to Song Yuchen and the former Marquis of Anding. However, in the past, he rarely spoke.

"Say." Song Yuxun seemed to sense something.

"Your Majesty." Su Xiang raised his head in front of the Son of Heaven: "Old Chen is bold, start the matter." ”

"Now that the middle palace has passed away, the whole country is mourning. However, as the saying goes, the country cannot be without a king for a day, but the responsibility of the Son of Heaven is not only in the country. Although the emperor is in the prime of life, the first emperor's heirs are thin, and the emperor should still make more plans for the Tianqi Kingdom, give birth to a little prince as soon as possible, and spread the branches and leaves for the Tianqi Kingdom. ”

"Throughout the dynasties, as the Son of Heaven, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and the emperor's harem is really thin."
