Chapter 263: The Death Knell
Updated: >
The whole palace fell into a haze because of the sudden death of the queen, and the concubines who loved the flowers and branches of the dress up on weekdays and wanted to lead the king to the spring breeze of the night were lightly dressed at this time, and did not dare to be the bird that came out; The masters are so low-key, and those palace maids and eunuchs who are used to seeing colors and see too much wind direction are also very peaceful.
is particularly quiet, it belongs to the Fengchao Palace. It was obviously the queen's bedroom, but the queen died in the inner room of the cold palace; Feng Feng, which should have been used by the queen, is now lying with another woman.
If it is said that in the past, Xie Danniang was lying on top of the phoenix, as if she was in the beautiful scenery of the sun shining and flowers blooming, but at this moment, she would only feel that the surroundings were gloomy, and she became the same as the Shura hell.
Obviously, all the palace lamps that can be lit in the palace have been lit, but Xie Danniang only feels stuffy in her chest. I suddenly wanted to take a few deep breaths to calm my mind, but I found that my throat seemed to be restrained by something, and even breathing became so difficult.
I don't do bad things on weekdays, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Although Qian'er and Yu'er, who were waiting by Xie Danniang's side, felt that it was indeed a little inappropriate to live here any longer, they were not the same as Xie Danniang. Seeing that his master's face was getting whiter and whiter, Qian'er and Yu'er looked at each other, urging the other party to come forward and ask the master, but to invite the imperial doctor to come.
Just when they hadn't yet struggled with the result, Xie Danniang suddenly sat up from the bed, put everything she could touch on the ground, and the whole person exploded as if she was insane: "What about people, why have people gone for so long and haven't come back" Who was asked in the words, and Qian'er and Yu'er couldn't guess it.
On weekdays, I have seen a lot of Xie Danniang's kindness to Xiao Ruo, and when Qian'er saw that the master looked very angry, she hurriedly stepped forward and prepared to fall into the well: "Who knows, I can't go to the emperor and ask, where does it take so long." This man, when it comes to his own body, can he see whether he is powerful or not."
"That's exactly what Miss Qian'er said. The slave maid is really useless, there is a strong wind outside, and it is raining, and when I arrived at the imperial study, I heard that the Janissary guarding the door said that the emperor and Gonggong Zhang are still in the cold palace and have not returned. The slave maid thought that Niangniang was anxious, so she walked in a hurry, but she twisted her foot on the way back, and hoped that Niangniang would forgive her sins. In a few words, the useless Xiao Ruo told everything again, she knew that Xie Danniang didn't care about punishing her at this time.
Sure enough, Xie Danniang heard that Lan Shikang was still in the cold palace, and said in disbelief: "Why is the emperor still in the cold palace, isn't the queen already dead, why didn't I hear the mourning bell ringing in the palace" The queen died, but a national event, it should have sounded the death knell the moment it was discovered, so as to show the world.
"The slave maid doesn't know, but the slave maid inquired on the way back, and the emperor is now alone in the inner chamber where the queen died, and everyone has been driven out. The slave maid wanted to go to the cold palace to ask Father-in-law Zhang, but the queen had just died after all, maybe the soul had not dissipated, if the slave maid went, maybe she would come back with some bad luck. The slave maid is fine, but I'm afraid" Xiao Ruo said half a sentence, and cautiously raised her eyes to look at Xie Danniang.
"Yes, yes, can't go." Xie Danniang nodded in agreement.
Originally, she already felt that this Feng Dynasty Palace was terrifying, if Jiang Ruyue's soul was lured over again, then would she still live
"But after all, this is the queen's dormitory before her death, and it is really unlucky for the mother to be the master here. Now that you can't ask the emperor, do you want to move or not" Qian'er saw Xiaoruo's words, and won Xie Danniang's approval. There was a lot of resentment in my heart, and I insisted on returning the problem to Xiao Ruo's body.
"The deceased is the greatest, Niangniang didn't care that her body had not healed, so she hurriedly moved back to Lanxiao Palace, in order to take care of the dignity of the queen's mother, it is righteousness, the emperor knows, it should be rewarded, how can he blame Niangniang" Xiao Ruo looked at Qian'er's appearance, as if to say, "You don't understand this", with a surprised face.
Xie Danniang has a ghost in her heart and wants to move back to Lanxiao Palace, anyone can see it. Now there is no way to ask the emperor for instructions, but her determination to move back to Lanxiao Palace is firm. Now, there's just no good reason for that. Now, when she is sleepy, someone will send her a pillow, and it will be delivered in time.
"Yes, you start cleaning up now, this palace is desperate for your life, and you have to give up this Fengchao Palace today, with the majesty of the queen." She didn't want to stay here for a moment.
"Yes" ignores the resentment with Qian'er, but Xiao Ruo is extremely satisfied in his heart.
Now that the antidote is in hand, she wants to coax Xie Danniang back to Lanxiao Palace as soon as possible. Because Le'er was still locked up in Lanxiao Palace at this time, Le'er's mother was afraid that when Le'er was escorted back and locked up, she would already cry blind and turn white. Only by letting them leave the palace with the antidote as soon as possible can her heart truly settle down.
On this side, a group of palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly packed up Xie Danniang's things. Although it was only Xie Danniang who "borrowed" it for a few days, she had already moved everything that could and could not be used in Lanxiao Palace, just like a dove occupying a magpie's nest. But now that she saw these useful and useless ones, she just wanted to throw them all in the Feng Dynasty Palace, and she immediately returned to the Lanxiao Palace. When the time comes, what is missing, it is a big deal to add more. But if she really did this, she was afraid that others would think that she had a ghost in her heart, so she was in a hurry to move out of Feng Chao Palace. In desperation, I had to sit on the bed, patiently, and watch everyone hurriedly pack up their things.
On the other side, Lan Shikang was in the inner room, alone with Jiang Ruyue's corpse for a long time, waiting for the door outside the door Grandpa Zhang and the Lord Commander couldn't wait, so they opened the door from the inside: "Go and tell the old guys from the Tai Hospital, let them go and protect the imperial concubine and move back to Lanxiao Palace." If something happened to the prince halfway, they wouldn't have to go home today, and it just so happened that the queen was short of a few burial companions. ”
Lan Shikang's face was so heavy that he could almost wring out the water, and he didn't have a hot or cold tone, as if he was saying that he was asking someone from the Tai Hospital to accompany the queen to dinner. Even a big man like the Commander, who is accustomed to seeing blood, can't help but break out in a cold sweat behind his back.
Father-in-law Zhang has been in the palace for a long time, and he doesn't even think it's a big deal like this. His complexion did not change at all, and when he heard this, he bowed down and retreated, and went to the Tai Hospital to find the first adult.
When Gonggong Zhang arrived at the Fengchao Palace with the panicked imperial doctors led by the head of the hospital, he found that the female eunuchs in the inner palace were already busy and ready to pack up and leave.
"The old slave knocked on the imperial concubine." Gonggong Zhang entered the dormitory, bowed to Xie Danniang above the phoenix collapse and said.
Xie Danniang saw that it was Gonggong Zhang, and she panicked, just thinking that the emperor had discovered something, and turned her eyes to look at Xiao Ruo. Seeing Xiao Ruo's calm and calm expression, she eased her uneasy heart slightly, and reluctantly pulled up a somewhat unnatural smile, and asked, "Why is Gonggong Zhang here, but what does the emperor command?"
"Back to the imperial concubine Niangniang, the emperor has a message to Niangniang, instructing the old slave to escort Niangniang back to Lanxiao Palace with the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital." Father-in-law Zhang replied with low eyebrows.
Xie Danniang was happy in her heart, she still had to ask people for instructions, but she never thought that the emperor would think of a place with her. It's just that she understands in her heart that the emperor wants her to give up this Feng Dynasty Palace to the dead Jiang Ruyue. I didn't expect that even if Jiang Ruyue died, she would have to let her move the land as an imperial concubine who was pregnant with a prince, but she was really angry to think of this, and the joy of moving back to Lanxiao Palace was also washed away.
"For the sake of the prince before her death, the queen gave this palace to the palace to recuperate, and now that she is gone, the palace is embarrassed to occupy it again. Since the emperor said so, it just so happened that the palace also had this intention, so let the queen go back to the Fengchao Palace early to rest in peace. Xie Danniang looked sad, twisted a few tears that were invisible from the corners of her eyes, and continued: "There are imperial doctors taking care of it here, Gonggong Zhang still hurried back to the emperor's side to accompany him, don't let the emperor be too sad and delay the dragon body." ”
"Yes, the old slave obeys." Father-in-law Zhang said a few words so indifferently, and then bowed down and left.
In other words, the imperial doctors escorted Xie Danniang back to Lanxiao Palace, asked for a safe pulse, and after a long time, they felt that there should be no fetal gas, and then they finally put their minds at ease.
"Knock~Knock~Knock"
The five death knells finally sounded, and Lan Shikang personally carried Jiang Ruyue, who had changed into formal clothes and decorated her face, into the Feng Dynasty Palace step by step. All the concubines in the harem, except for Xie Danniang, knelt outside the palace gate, and suddenly cried all over the place, although they couldn't hear much sincerity, but they were also huge.
Five sounds, it was actually five sounds standing on top of the court, and the mighty marquis who was preparing to go to the early court heard the five death knells ringing, and he only felt that it was dark in front of him. If someone next to him noticed that something was wrong, he quickly helped him up, but he was afraid that he would have fallen to the ground.
Ninety-five Supreme, when the emperor died, it was nine death knells; When the queen died, it was these five voices today. The mighty marquis clenched his hands, and his nails were already deep in the flesh of his palms. He wanted to use this painful feeling to calm himself down quickly, even if it was his half-sister who died today.
Dear officials, the queen is dead, happy since the return in March, the collection has been changing high and low, Sangxin ~ saw the previous 680 collection of addition, now 675, more Sangxin ~ The last time the high dynasty is coming, dear, give it a little bit ~~
