Yi Concubine's coffin was left in the palace for a day, and then transported to Jing'an Village. Because in the summer, the corpse has been soaked in water, and a pungent stench can be smelled from afar.

Of the harem concubines, none of them went to see them off, only Bai Changzai braved the scorching sun and sent the coffin out of the Forbidden City.

Generally, when a concubine dies, almost all of them will be promoted to one level to show their grace.

But Concubine Yi was embarrassed to die and committed a taboo in the palace, the Queen Mother and Yingyun did not mention the matter of chasing the seal, and the emperor was busy with government affairs and did not bother to take care of this matter.

However, Bai Chang went to the Heart Nourishing Palace one day after Concubine Yi's funeral, wanting to ask for a concubine for her sister-in-law.

However, the emperor summoned the Minister of Military Aircraft to discuss state affairs for a whole day, and Bai Changzai had to wait outside the palace for a whole day. When the sun is scorching, people are about to suffer from heat stroke, but they still can't leave.

Li Yu persuaded with good words: "Little Lord Bai, you better go back, the emperor is in a bad mood these days, how can he have time to take care of these things?" ”

Bai Changzai quietly stuffed the silver to him, and begged: "I know that this matter is difficult for Mr. Li, but as soon as Concubine Yi leaves, I have no one to ask for in the palace, so I can only rely on the chief manager." You know, Concubine Yi has spent her life in the palace, and her only wish is to be able to get a concubine and shine on the lintel. Now, she has gone wronged, I am her own sister, I can't do anything for her, I can only do my best to achieve her wish before death. ”

Li Yu shirked, really didn't want to accept her silver, this silver was in his arms, hot as a soldering iron.

Bai Changzai pressed his hand stubbornly and begged bitterly: "Lord Steward, you are my only hope." ”

Li Yu sighed, thinking that when she was in the scenery of Yi Concubine, how could she have thought that she would be reduced to this day and need to beg him from all over the place?

"Okay, minions, give it to the little master, you can try it." Li Yu took pity on her and said, "However, the slave can only help the little master to report to you, as for the emperor's decision, the slave can't guarantee it." ”

Bai Chang said gratefully: "I know, there is Master Lao, and the Lord Manager is willing to go on this trip, which is the greatest favor to our sisters." "Everybody

Li Yu comforted her a few words, and then quietly entered the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Feiyan accompanied Bai Chang anxiously waiting outside, a quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, and the time passed little by little......

Half an hour later, Li Yu came out of the hall, and Bai Changzai immediately greeted him and asked, "How is it?" What did the emperor say? ”

Li Yu shook his head at them and sighed lightly.

Bai Chang knew that there should be no room for turning around in this matter.

Li Yu cleared his throat and said: "Bai Chang is listening to the decree, and the emperor dictated, 'Concubines and other internal affairs are out, if there is a brother and a Gege, the king and others will wear filial piety, if not, there is no need to play'." ”

When Bai Chang heard this, he staggered back a step, but fortunately Feiyan helped him not to fall.

"Concubine...... Compliance. ”

Li Yu returned Fang Cai's silver to Bai Changzai, and said softly: "Little master, so far, the emperor has no affection for Niangniang, or is it still the little master, you take the silver taels, take care of the craftsmen who are buried, and add an extra funeral to Concubine Yi's mother." ”

Bai Chang's head was buzzing, and he left the Heart Nourishing Hall as if he had lost his soul.

Feiyan wiped her tears and called her: "Little master, what should we do?" ”

Bai Chang was humming and laughing, and said: "To survive in the palace, there is no holy grace, you can only be trampled under your feet and wait for death slowly." ”

As the sun fell, the two walked lonely on the palace road, their figures distorted into long and narrow shapes, like dead trees growing old.
