The queen's funeral, the world is vegetarian, every household is hung with white silk, and everyone has a solemn sadness on their faces, and the joy of the upcoming New Year is also diluted.

The queen's azusa palace was placed in the hall of the long body, but no one knew that it was actually an empty coffin.

There are white fans hanging on the high lintel, carrying white lanterns, the mourning shed is crowded with people, kneeling everywhere, courtiers, concubines, eunuchs, palace maids, men's faces are solemn, women crying pear blossoms with rain, no matter how jealous and hated the queen of the only favorite, at the moment when the lights go out, most of the concubines' hearts are still sad.

Even Bai Guifei, who had been looking forward to the queen's death soon, knelt in the cry of the sky, and her face was dazed, it should be said that the queen was dead, she could get what she wanted, but her heart was not as relaxed as she imagined.

Murong Mian stood in a corner with his hands down, his eyes were a little weak, his face was a little haggard, he didn't sleep all night, he was almost too busy to touch the ground, and finally the big and small matters were all in order, just wait for the seven days to pass, and then arrange the funeral.

On the offering table, all kinds of offerings are piled up into a spire, the little eunuchs keep walking around to buy incense and candles, the sound of the Taoist priests chanting the scriptures comes from behind the mourning hall, the paper money is burned in the copper basin, the blue tongue of fire is constantly licking the yellow money paper, turning them into ashes, the smell of burning paper is mixed with the smell of incense and candles, and the crowd and crying all over the world, it makes people feel dull after staying for a long time.

He walked outside to take a breath, and someone slowly walked over in the afterglow, "Your face doesn't look very good, are you too tired, go to my palace to rest for a while." ”

Murong Mian shook his head, "I'm fine, you're old, you don't have to stay here all the time, if you feel tired, go back." ”

Concubine Rui looked at the son in front of her, probably not resting well, he had a green shadow under his eyes, he hadn't seen him for a while, he had lost a lot of weight, and he was also a lot more alienated from her.

"Lu'er, I know what happened last time, you have been blaming me in your heart, in fact, ......"

"There is no need to say it, concubine," Murong Mian said indifferently, "Now is not the time to talk about that." ”

Concubine Rui couldn't get off the stage, and she didn't know what to say, "Princess, why didn't she?" ”

"Here, it's time for you to hit her again, right?"

"Lu'er!"

"I still have something to do, concubine, please take care of yourself." From beginning to end, Murong Mian didn't look at her and turned to leave.

Concubine Rui looked at his back and sighed sadly, wondering if he would be so dedicated to handling her funeral when she left?

Mama Rong didn't dare to see Murong Mian, and when she saw him leaving, she came out from behind the tree and held Concubine Rui's arm: "Concubine, go back and rest, your body can't stand it, come back at night." ”

Concubine Rui just sighed, "Rong'er, is the mourning family wrong?" It's really good for him! ”

"Concubine, let's leave the prince's affairs alone in the future, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, let him go."

"I heard that the emperor had a gap with him recently, and I wanted to ask, but he ignored the mourning family ......."

"The concubine can't worry about this, you see, the emperor still values the prince, otherwise how could he let him handle the queen's aftermath?"

"Speaking of the emperor, I also worry about my heart, he has been by my side for a few years, I know his temperament, he is a person who values love and righteousness, the queen is cold, and it hits him very hard, I heard that he was locked in Fengming Palace, no one saw him, and I don't know if he eats every day? Hey, seeing that the New Year is coming, I didn't expect this thing to happen, and the queen is still blessed. ”

"Who says it's not," Mama Rong said: "The queen mother is virtuous and virtuous, it's a pity." ”

——

Murong Mian stepped down, and the little eunuch standing at the door hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Say hello to the prince." ”

"Where's the Grand Steward?"

Before the little eunuch could answer, Gao Shenghai's voice came out, and he followed the person to the door, and said a thousand times: "The prince is tired." ”

Murong Mian asked, "How is the emperor?" Have you eaten? ”

Gao Shenghai tucked his red eyes and sighed mournfully, "Niangniang is gone, how can the emperor have any intention to eat, from last night to now, he doesn't eat or drink, and people are staring in a daze, and the slave is really distressed when he sees it in his eyes." ”

"I'll go and persuade him."

Murong Mian was about to raise his feet to go in as he spoke, and the two brocade-clothed forbidden soldiers on the side pumped their swords on their waists and stopped him.

"No, my lord!" Gao Shenghai hurriedly said, "The emperor has an order, no one can go in and scratch, the emperor's order cannot be violated." ”

Murong Mian frowned, "How can you do it if you don't eat or drink like this, he is the emperor, don't you want the country?" ”

"The prince will give the emperor a little more time, the emperor is a man of great wisdom, and the slave believes that he will get through."

Murong Mian glanced at the two forbidden soldiers, "You are the person next to the emperor, persuade him more, he must eat something, and the day after tomorrow, I will come over to make a coffin." ”

"Yes, please rest assured, the slave will definitely persuade the emperor."

——

At the same time, the people in the suburban Zhuangzi woke up one after another, and found that the sun had risen high, obviously because they had drunk too much last night, and the death knell was ringing in the temple on the nearby mountain, and everyone was surprised.

The whole country is mourned, of course, it is not a good thing, the king of Chu is a clan, this is his Zhuangzi, so naturally it must be arranged immediately.

Yu Degui hurriedly went to ask the princess, and when he arrived at the courtyard, he saw that the courtyard door was wide open, he didn't think much about it, but when he went in, the house was very quiet, none of the two maid rings were gone, and the big bed where the princess slept covered the tent curtain, and he hung his hand and called several times outside the account, but he didn't answer.

He didn't dare to be presumptuous, he went to the Yahuan house to see, it was also quiet, there were accounts hanging next to the bed, he didn't care, he stretched out his hand to open it, the quilt on the bed was arched, he was vaguely uneasy, stretched out his hand to uncover, where was the person, it was clearly stuffed clothes.

He hurried to the princess's bed, lifted the curtain and uncovered the quilt, and the clothes were stuffed underneath, and he took a few steps back, and almost sat on the ground.

In the winter, Yu Degui was in a hurry to sweat, and quickly gathered people to look around, and finally found the two pro-guards who were still asleep in the forest.

It's a mess now, and I'm looking for the other two, who also ate meat and drank wine last night, and they can't wake up in the house at the moment.

Yu Degui is no matter how stupid he is, he has guessed what is going on - Princess Chu ran away!

He hurriedly set up the car and rushed to the Chu Palace, if something like this happened in his hands, the prince would definitely chop him alive, but even if it was live, he had to report it.

When I went to the palace to ask, the king of Chu was not there, and said that it was the queen's funeral, and the prince went to the palace.

Yu Degui was so anxious that he rubbed his hands, so he had to tell Hao Pingguan about the matter and beg him for an idea. Hao Pingguan was dumbfounded when he heard this, the princess ran away, what idea could he have......
