Chapter 226: National Mourning (1)

"Wake up, girl, the queen is gone." Crescent Moon was half asleep, and the effect of the tranquilizer was extremely powerful, even if Crescent Moon felt that her subconscious had been woken up by this important event, her eyes still couldn't open.

Mama Wang looked at Xinyue, who had never been able to be fully awake, and said to Feng'er, who kept calling her on one side, "Anyway, the girl will enter the palace early tomorrow morning, after the city gate is opened, let her sleep for a while, and we will come and call her in an hour." Fei'er, you take out the girl's plain clothes first, and you pack up the things that you want to enter the palace with the girl tomorrow. Then rest for a while, the night is still long. Mama Wang looked at the silence of the night, and the bell that had not stopped was like a mournful sound, spreading far away.

After the effect of the medicine passed, Xinyue was not comfortable after falling asleep, but a false sense of confusion, she opened her eyes, looked at Mama Wang, who was guarding her, and then asked, "Queen Chai, is she really dead?" ”

Mama Wang nodded, "I passed away in His Majesty's arms around the clock last night." ”

Xinyue immediately sat up from the bed, but one didn't stand firmly, and almost fell back on the bed, Mama Wang helped her, "Girl, don't you lie down for a while, the slave maid just asked the doctor, saying that you don't sleep enough time like this, and it's not good for your health." ”

Xinyue shook her head, "Dress up for me, I want to go to the palace quickly, I'm afraid my uncle won't be able to hold on." ”

"Okay" Mama Wang saw that Xinyue insisted, so she personally dressed Xinyue and combed her hair.

Soon after dawn, it was already winter in Jinling, it was still a little cold, Feng'er put on a cloak for the crescent moon, and the coachman yawned and drove the carriage to arrive, "Girl, let's go, let's go to the city gate, and the city gate will be opened." ”

Crescent Moon nodded "Let's go"

The carriage swayed, which was requested by the new moon, to hurry up.

Now is the time of the morning court, and His Majesty doesn't have the heart to go to any court, and the palace should be messy, and the new moon wants to go to see it soon.

As soon as she crossed Suzaku Street, Crescent felt the speed of the carriage slow down, and Crescent Moon asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Girl, see for yourself" The coachman lifted the curtain, Xinyue frowned, and couldn't believe the scene in front of him, the entire palace road was full of people, there were ministers wearing court clothes, and clan relatives, but the palace in front of him was closed, and no one could enter.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace where the female dependents entered the palace, Xinyue saw that the female dependents were still trapped at the door, in the crowd, Xinyue saw the people of the Jiang family, Mrs. Zhuang was not in good spirits, she saw Xinyue just beckoned, Xinyue walked over, and bowed "Madam"

"Don't be polite" Old Madam Zhuang's face was not good, and the matter of Old Marquis Jiang was also a heavy blow to her.

Crescent Moon asked, "Ma'am, what's going on?" ”

Chen's face, who was standing behind Mrs. Zhuang, pale, said, "Don't you know, since the bell rang in the palace, the city gate has been closed, and now no one can enter." ”

"Who's giving the order?" Crescent asked.

"Who can have this right, it is naturally Your Majesty, and Your Majesty has made an order, if someone has no will and insists on entering the palace, then it should be punished as a rebellion."

"What about the prince?" Xinyue didn't see Rong Ying all the way just now, so it stands to reason that he should be at the front.

"No one has ever seen the crown prince" Chen couldn't help but sob, although she was the wife of a noble family, she still couldn't hold it when she saw such a scene there.

Old Madam Zhuang glanced at Xinyue, although she was not very old, but fortunately she could still maintain the calm on the surface, and said to the two, "I came from the Changsheng Gate just now, and the adults and clan relatives have already knelt down and begged Your Majesty to open the door, and I think there will be a conclusion in a while." Old lady, I see that your face is not very good, this old marquis is newly mourned, and you are not in good health, so go back to the house first. ”

Saying that, Xinyue wanted to invite Mrs. Zhuang to the carriage with the Chen family.

But Mrs. Zhuang was very stubborn, "Before the queen drove, I don't know who is restraining her." ”

Xinyue looked forward, and also saw Queen Chai's mother, Bai Shi, the old lady had all white hair, and was supported by her daughter-in-law, standing a little trembling in the cold wind.

"Old lady, I'll go see the princess of Chai," Xinyue said to Old Madam Zhuang.

Old Madam Zhuang nodded, "Well, you go and take a look." ”

As he spoke, the new moon turned around and walked to the front, and bowed to the princess of Chai.

Bai's face was like a plain manuscript, but his eyes were still bright, and he recognized her as soon as he saw the new moon, "Oh, the new moon lord of the Anxuan Marquis Mansion." ”

"Madame's Day, do you know what's going on?" Crescent asked.

Bai Shi sneered, "She's been sick for so long, and I haven't seen many people to see her, so naturally I don't know what's wrong with her." She's dead, the bells are ringing, what else can happen. ”

Xinyue was a little excited when she saw that the Bai family, and then thought that because of Rong Zhao's death, the queen was in decline, and she was naturally left out in the cold, so it was no wonder that the Bai family was so angry.

"Madam, it's such a cold day, you better go home first and wait for news." Crescent didn't want to argue with her, so she persuaded her.

"My daughter is dead, but I can't see each other, how can I rest, wait. Yun'e, my daughter, you are so ruthless, you have to let me, an old immortal white-haired man, send a black-haired ghost. With that, Bai Shi couldn't bear it anymore and knelt on the ground and cried.

Crescent's eyes were quick, and when she was about to collapse on the cold and hard bluestone slab, she hugged Baishi.

Pak fell into the crescent moon's arms and wept loudly.

People who had been friends with the queen in the past also cried together, and other female dependents, whether sincere or false, also cried.

Crescent Moon let out a long sigh, she turned her head, looked at the towering palace gate and palace wall, and then frowned, that, on the highest corner tower, the person standing is...

"Your Majesty, that's Your Majesty." I don't know who shouted this, everyone's focus was attracted by the small black dot, and Bai Shi also stood up with the support of his daughter-in-law.

Crescent took a few steps in that direction, only to see that everyone was walking that way, and she was left far behind.

Just when she didn't know what to do, she was about to take a step forward, but Rong Ying grabbed her arm, "Go, follow me." ”

"You, what are you doing?" Xinyue struggled instinctively, but Rong Ying pointed to the city gate on the side, as if she wanted to take Xinyue in, so she stopped struggling and followed him to the small gate next to the city gate.

When the two arrived at the door, Rong Ying looked around, but there was no one. Then let go of the crescent moon and go knock on the door.

Feng'er held Xinyue and said scaredly, "Girl, if we don't go in, who knows what's going on in the palace." ”

"No, I'm going to go in and see my uncle, and if you're scared, just wait outside." With that, the door opened, Rong Ying looked back at Xinyue, who followed him and walked into the small door without hesitation.
