Chapter 676: Return to Beijing for funeral
(Cat pounces Chinese) Chunzhi suddenly felt a bang above her head, as if countless thunderbolts rolled over, shaking her mind blank.
"How so? How so? She shook her head and whispered to herself, "Wasn't she okay the last time I wrote to her?" The last time Yanzi saw her, she could laugh and talk, how long has it been? I've packed it up, and I'm going back to serve by her side, but why didn't she wait for me and leave? No way, she won't leave me! ”
"Auntie, please mourn!" King Liang shouted loudly.
"The Queen Mother is old, and it is also a joy and mourning at this age. It is a happy event for her that she is finally free from suffering from illness and can sleep peacefully, and you should be happy for her! ”
"Happy? Yes, you should be happy. She's been sick for so long, and now she's relieved. Harueda nodded,
"But she hasn't seen me for the last time, so why did she just leave?" She still couldn't accept this fact.
Seeing that she was deeply shocked, King Liang's eyes were also dark.
"It's useless now. The top priority is for us to quickly pack up and go back to Beijing for the funeral! ”
"Yes, no matter what, go to the capital first, this is the most important thing!" Chunzhi nodded hurriedly,
"I've packed my things, and I'm ready to go now. What about you? ”
"Concubine Ai is packing up her things, and it should be almost time after a while." King Liang nodded. Chunzhi nodded hurriedly.
"In that case, let's go!" The news came from the capital, even if it was a quick whip and didn't stop for a moment in the middle, it must have been five or six years ago.
If they rush back, it will take another month or two on the road, and they really can't afford to delay. Harue had planned to leave by car.
But now that she heard the news, she didn't even sit in the car and chose to ride a horse directly. The journey was almost sleepless, and when they arrived at the post station, they changed horses, and they arrived in the capital half a month later.
When they arrived in the capital, they didn't delay for a moment, and went straight to the palace. At this time, the capital was already full of white flags.
Entering the palace, a sad atmosphere immediately came to his face, and Chunzhi's mood was lowered.
The palace maid and eunuch sent sackcloth, Chunzhi and Princess Liang of Liang all changed into them, and then followed the guidance of people to Cining Palace.
Many people knelt in Cining Palace, all of them wore linen and filial piety, knelt in front of the queen mother's coffin and cried.
Originally, along the way, Harue still had a little thought in his heart - maybe they were lying to themselves?
Maybe it's all just a joke! Maybe when she arrives at the palace, she will see the smiling face of the Queen Mother again, and hear her old man's proud sentence, 'You have been deceived by me!'
'What?' However, the heavy white cloth in front of her eyes and the cry that filled her ears shattered the last bit of hope she had.
The Queen Mother is gone. Her old man really left, and he left without waiting to see her for the last time.
"Mother......" Chunzhi hurriedly whispered, and she rushed to the front and knelt down heavily in front of the queen mother's coffin.
The days of running around overwhelmed her body, she was now dizzy, and she was severely stimulated by the things in front of her, and her spirit was getting worse and worse.
However, she was already so sad in her heart, but she found that she couldn't cry. Not only couldn't tears fall, but she didn't even feel so sour in her eyes.
She knelt there in a daze, looking at the dark coffin in front of her, and didn't know how to react.
The emperor and empress heard the news, and they were helped over. The emperor was dressed in filial piety, holding a dragon head crutch in his hand, and his figure came to Chunzhi in a rickety manner.
For nearly a month, he knelt and cried in front of the Queen Mother's spirit, and he had to be distracted to deal with state affairs, and his energy consumption was extremely high, and now everyone is so thin that his eye sockets are sunken.
The queen is even more vicissitudes. However, her vicissitudes should have little to do with presiding over the funeral of the Queen Mother.
Because just two months ago, Chunzhi heard that the empress's father, Zhang Taifu, who was well-known in the court, had passed away.
Mrs. Zhang is the pillar of the Zhang family and a famous emperor. When she was originally selected as the queen, it was originally because of Mrs. Zhang.
But now, as soon as Mrs. Zhang leaves, none of his five sons can inherit his mantle.
At this time, almost half of the backers behind the queen have fallen. How can she avoid vicissitudes? Her sons haven't been on the throne yet!
However, those were all outside of Haruka's body, and she only skipped this matter in her mind the moment she saw the queen, and she immediately left it behind.
"I've seen the emperor." Harueda hurriedly got up and saluted the emperor. The emperor waved his hand.
"The imperial sister came all the way from Liangzhou, and she arrived so quickly, you must have suffered a lot along the way, right? Now you don't have to be formal. Sit down! Harukie shook her head.
"I sat all the way, and now I don't have to. Now, I just want to be here with my mother. ”
"That's fine." The Emperor's Chin,
"Before the queen mother died, she also said a few words to you. It's a pity that her condition deteriorated fiercely, and it only took two hours to ...... Ay! I don't have time to inform you, or I'll let you back to see her one last time. A trace of coldness quickly crossed under the lowered eyes of Haruka.
Obviously, the Queen Mother has been sick for so long, although the deterioration of her condition is in the last few days, but for so long before that, why didn't he think about passing on the news to her and asking her to rush back to serve the decoction in front of the Queen Mother?
He just didn't want her back! Now that the Queen Mother is gone, he is still pretending to be in front of him, which really makes her lose her appetite.
It's just that in front of the Queen Mother's spirit, Chunzhi didn't want to get angry - of course, she didn't dare to attack the emperor at all, so she could only whisper: "All this is destined by the old man for a long time, and I don't complain to anyone." It's just that now, I just want to be with my mother, and I don't want to think about anything else. ”
"Well, then you can accompany her old man! Seeing you coming, the queen mother will definitely be very happy. The emperor nodded hurriedly, and then walked slowly with his cane again.
Chunzhi also lowered his head and continued to kneel in front of the Queen Mother's spirit to burn paper for the Queen Mother. The queen mother died, and the emperor specially invited nine monks from the Great Bao'en Temple to make a water and land dojo for the queen mother.
This land and water dojo will do 7749 sessions, which will last 9981. It's already November, and the New Year will be celebrated in a month.
However, because of the death of the Queen Mother, there is no longer any festive atmosphere in the capital.
Banquets and drinks are forbidden in the whole country, and no sound of silk and bamboo is allowed to be heard in the capital. However, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the people outside can still set off a firecracker.
The water and land dojo began half a month before the death of the Queen Mother and the spring branches, and then lasted until the new year, and it ended in February.
For more than two months, Chunzhi decided not to go anywhere, she stayed by the queen mother's coffin, closed her eyes and squinted for a while when she was tired, and talked to the queen mother when she woke up.
And just after Chunzhi arrived, the third after Chunzhi arrived, this late night, the mourning hall was still overcrowded, the people wearing linen and filial piety were still sobbing in a low voice, Chunzhi still did not shed a single tear, she just burned paper for the Queen Mother.
Suddenly, there was a low whimper in my ear, not like a human, but like a ...... Cats and dogs? Chunzhi hurriedly looked back, and saw the Queen Mother's favorite big dog, Yuzhang, staggering towards her!
Behind Yu Zhang, there was also its cat son. Seeing this scene, Harue was startled. It wasn't that she was frightened by their sudden appearance, but she found that Yu Zhang was actually skinny!
Before being by the Queen Mother's side, Yuzhang could be favored. All kinds of food, as long as it likes, then it can eat whatever it wants, what chicken, duck, fish or something he is tired of, and he doesn't even look at it later.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother was still distressed, and hurriedly beckoned someone to make other food for it. As long as it can eat and is willing to eat, then whatever it wants!
So over the years, the dog has been fattened. But now, all the fat on the dog's body is gone, and only a thin body can be seen clearly.
Now, it dragged this body to the spring branch. It's also because its body is so weak that it can't even scream now, so it can only whisper at the spring branch.
When she saw this dog, Haruka immediately remembered the first time she saw the Queen Mother.
Her eyes finally soured, and tears welled up in her eyes. Cat flutter Chinese
