Chapter Ninety-Five: Burial

When Zhao Tingmei arrived, the emperor was guarding the deceased concubine, and the palace was empty.

"Did Li Yu drink yesterday's wine?"

"Drunk."

"Only one cup?"

"Yes."

"Are you still going to lie to me now? If there is only one cup, what does the eldest lady drink? ”

"Brother is wrong." Seeing that the matter was revealed, Zhao Tingmei hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, "There is only one glass of wine, and it was drunk by the eldest lady." ”

"Just now, the Longxi County Mansion came to report, saying that Li Yu went last night."

"This, this, this brother doesn't know."

"I don't know or I don't know?"

"I don't know."

"Go down, Li Yu's funeral will be handed over to you to preside."

"Do you want to help Ling go back to Jinling?"

"No, it's easy."

"Yes."

After Zhao Tingmei left, the emperor called Gonggong Li and Ling Qi, saying that they had important matters to discuss, and later, Shuiyue Palace was locked up, and no one could enter except Gonggong Li.

The queen asked to see several times for the funeral, but was refused, and the Ministry of Rites had no idea for a while, and the news of the resurrection of the concubine began to spread in the palace.

"Is there really a resurrection from the dead?" The queen looked at Concubine Li De on the side and asked.

"The queen is worried, if the concubine is not dead, how can the emperor not come out."

"My sister said, who is this concubine Niangniang, who can fascinate the emperor so fascinated."

Hearing this, Concubine Li Defei hurriedly put down the tea in her hand, let the entourage retreat, and then looked at the queen and asked in a low voice:

"Sister, do you remember the fire last year?"

"You mean?" The queen's face suddenly became ugly, last year, the emperor did not hesitate to go against the entire court for the sake of that woman, and now that she has been dead for so long, why does Concubine Li Defei bring up the old matter again?

"Gonggong Li is not dead, he has been serving in Shuiyue Palace, and we haven't seen Concubine Niangniang again, doesn't my sister feel strange?"

"But the emperor ......"

"Sister, no, I heard that the emperor sent a woman to the Longxi County Mansion, and that woman is exactly the same as the eldest lady who should have been buried in the fire, why did you say the emperor did this?"

"When the eldest lady died, as long as a few people in our palace knew, didn't the emperor find that woman to pretend to be the eldest lady just to hide people's eyes?"

"My sister is confused, the emperor is the Son of Heaven......"

Yes, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, how can he go to such great lengths for a courtier, unless there is something worth worrying about behind this courtier, and there is only one eldest lady behind Li Yu.

"So, this concubine is actually the real eldest lady of the Longxi County Mansion?"

"Yes." Concubine Li Defei nodded affirmatively at the queen.

"Well, now this man is gone."

"Yes, after all, I can't fight for anything......"

The night before the end of the mourning period, a fire broke out in the Water Moon Palace, and the concubine did not wait for her funeral, and everything about her disappeared in this fire.

After that, the palace people suddenly found that Zhao Guangyi had disappeared, along with Gonggong Li, Ling Qi and others. No one knew where he went, and in order to stabilize the court, the queen could only block the news that the emperor was seriously ill, and the eldest son Zhao Yuanzuo would take charge of the government.

Some people say that on the night of the fire, two carriages were seen leaving the palace from the north gate to the direction of Jinling, and the queen sent people to track down for a long time but could not find a trace of the carriage.

A month later, a group of craftsmen suddenly came to Xiaoxiao Valley outside Jinling City, saying that the emperor was grateful for the princess who was married far away, and came to repair it.

The original princess's tomb was converted into a joint burial tomb, and it is said that they found a long-lost colt in the princess's tomb.

There are also two inconspicuous tablets on the side not far from the cemetery, one is engraved with the word "Niang", and the other is only one sentence [Twenty-eight years in the world by mistake].

No one knew the origin of the tomb, only speculated that it was a friend of the princess's life.

On the day of the completion of the princess's tomb, many people came to Xiaoxiao Valley, most of them were young men and women, and it was rumored that the horse was martyred for love, and the two were stronger than Jin during their lifetimes, and if they worshipped, they would be able to keep love forever.

"Min'er, it seems to disturb your purity." In the middle of the night, a man drank bitterly in front of the grave.

Later, the craftsmen dispersed, leaving only a tomb man, named Xiaoxiao.

No matter day or night, he stayed in the hut next to the tomb, not letting people in, and only said one sentence in his mouth: "Don't disturb the purity of my young lady." ”

After a long time, people don't go anymore, Xiaoxiao Valley is no longer popular, but the scenery is getting better day by day, and flowers are everywhere.

The people said that this princess must be very good, and that she would have such a loyal servant with her after death.

On the other side, there was news from the palace, saying that the emperor had just recovered from a serious illness and had begun to go to court.

"Where is the Longxi County Mansion finally buried?"

"Who knows, I heard that the emperor rewarded a mountain, and the second lady in the house is also there."

"What about the eldest lady?"

"I also went, since the Longxi County Duke left, he was locked in the room every day, this is not a few days ago, I was too sad, I took three feet of white silk, and followed the Longxi County Prince."

"It's also an infatuated woman, it's a pity."

"yes, that's a shame."
