Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Incense Soul Is Gone
I hurriedly ordered Xiao Anzi to guard the palace gate. Don't let anyone in or out. Iris, crying, packing up the relics of the crescent moon. I held the crescent moon's hand tightly and wanted to cry without tears.
Cong Mian and Imperial Physician Liang hurried over in the moonlight. When I saw that familiar figure. I burst into tears as I threw myself on him. Choked in his ear, "The new moon is dead. The crescent moon is dead."
Cong Mian gently patted me on the back and comforted me. People cannot be resurrected from the dead. Yu Jue. Condolences change."
I looked up. He slowly wiped the tears from my face." I heard Fufeng say that the noble man committed suicide by swallowing gold. The concubine's self-judgment is considered unknown."
I nodded. sighed lightly: "The emperor is already dissatisfied with the new moon. Now I'm going to blame her even more. That's why I'm looking for you. I don't want the emperor to know that she swallowed gold and died."
Cong Mian was slightly stunned. He nodded as if he understood: "I will definitely do my best. It's just that there will be some risks. If the emperor finds out, he will definitely implicate you."
I shook my head firmly: "It doesn't matter. That's the last thing I can do for the new moon. That's all I have to think of as a sister."
Imperial Physician Liang looked at the recent prescriptions of the new moon and the body after that. sighed. Said: "This noble man should have already repaid the heart of death. Even if she doesn't cut herself. With her body staggering and disease. There aren't many days left."
"Then what should we do now to convince the emperor that the noble man died of a violent illness." I asked silently.
Cong Mian thought for a long time before he slowly spoke: "If I and Lord Liang say in unison that the noble man is seriously ill late at night. The emperor will naturally believe it if he dies of a violent illness. In addition, the noble people have been weak and sick since they entered the palace."
I nodded. Said lightly: "Just do what you say. After dawn, we will proclaim our grace to the outside world." When the words "Bintian" are spoken. I couldn't help but choke.
Looking at the pale face of the new moon. I can't believe that just the day before, she was calling my sister affectionately. Today I can't hear it anymore. I can't see her smile anymore.
I looked at the iris that silently looked at the tears like beads with broken threads. I suddenly "clicked" in my heart." Iris. What strange behavior did the noble man do before he died?"
Iris shook his head without raising his head. I couldn't help but soften my tone, "Iris. You are the personal maid of the noble person's marriage. He also grew up with the noble people since childhood. How could you not know her thoughts?"
Iris was slightly stunned. Suddenly, his eyes widened as if he remembered something, and said, "Engui received a pigeon before he didn't eat or drink. It should be Su Gebeizi who sent a letter to the nobleman."
Iris put down what she was holding. I hurriedly got up and looked for the letter in my room. After searching for a while, there was no trace. I said lightly, "No need to look for it. According to the nature of the crescent moon. How can we find such a thing so easily?"
I picked out a pink dress from the cupboard. It is embroidered with large magnolia flowers. It has been smoked on the incense burner for a while. Changed out of Crescent's clothes. Personally put on the crescent moon. Suddenly, his hand touched the clothes he had changed. A note fell from the clothes. I picked it up and saw that it was Sugbeizi's letter.
I silently read a few simple sentences. His hands trembled suddenly. It turns out that Suge is going to get married. It is impossible for the new moon to leave the palace in this life. It's impossible for two people to stay together for a long time. Suge can't go against his family's wishes. And today is the day of marriage.
The stubborn crescent chooses to use death to preserve her love. I stroked Crescent's face. muttered in his mouth, "New Moon. In the next life, we will still be sisters. Just survive in ordinary people's homes. Even if life is hard. But there is no need for Xiao Lang to be a passerby from now on."
I didn't close my eyes all night. Stayed by the bedside and quietly watched the new moon night. I know. I will never see her again. His body stiffened and moved." Iris. The obituary of the noble man has been in the sky."
Red and swollen eyes entered the Qianqing Palace. Yongyan has just gone down to court. The court clothes on his body have not been changed. I hurriedly knelt in front of Yongyan and burst into tears: "Your Majesty. Grace and nobleman, she ......"
"What's wrong?" Yongyan just sat down and picked up the tea. asked lightly.
I choked up and said, "It's the night of tonight. The noble man is violently ill."
Yongyan's hand trembled slightly. Slowly put down the teacup. Puzzled: "How could it be so sudden. I know she's been fine the other day."
"Your Majesty. How dare a concubine spread rumors about such a thing? At night, the maid who was close to the nobleman hurriedly went to pass the doctor. But by the time the Imperial Doctor arrived, the nobles had already been very bad. I think it's been two days since I came."
Imperial Physician Liang and Cong Mian bent down and waited. Cong Mian stepped forward and said, "Wechen also went to see it at night. The sickness of the noble man is not a day or two. Please ask the emperor to convict the ministers and others of dereliction of duty."
Yongyan was silent for a long time. sighed. I remember that she entered the palace with Concubine Jin. In the Body Yuan Palace, I only chose Concubine Jin and her."
"The emperor mourns. Take care of your dragon." I said lightly.
Yongyan pondered for a while and said, "Spread my will. Posthumously crowned the nobles as concubines. Buried in the concubine's mausoleum on a certain day."
"Your Majesty, you can't. The concubines felt that the nobles were not qualified to be buried in the concubine's mausoleum." I said coldly.
Yongyan was surprised, "Oh." smack. I continued, "Your Majesty. Although the noble man has been in the palace for nearly three years. First, it is useless to have children. Second, the nobles have never been favored. Therefore, the concubines think that the nobles are not qualified to be buried in the concubine's mausoleum."
Yongyan's eyes were full of surprise. Slightly stunned, he said, "You're right. Then you are not allowed to be buried in the tomb of the concubine."
Coming out of the Qianqing Palace. Suddenly, I felt relaxed physically and mentally. The footsteps kept walking. It's still the same way. I turned to Fufeng and said, "Fufeng. I can't see the crescent moon anymore. Right?"
Fufeng nodded helplessly. I stroked the high walls of the Crescent Palace. said lightly: "You have locked her up for so long. Now she's finally free."
Fu Feng asked puzzled: "Niangniang. What the slave doesn't understand is. Why don't you let the nobles be buried in the concubine's mausoleum? Don't all the women in the palace say it's a status symbol?"
I smiled. Said lightly: "This palace locks in the happy time when the new moon is alive. After death, he will be buried in the tomb of the concubine or accompany the emperor who will die in the future. What is the difference between being dead and being alive. I think. The new moon is also unwilling to be buried in the tomb of the concubine."
Crescent Moon nodded. Pointing to the sky, he said, "Niangniang. You see. How could so many pigeons fly away?"
I smiled with relief, "That's the new moon. She can go back to the prairie. I hope that the world will not let the new moon be born in the emperor's family. Don't be the emperor's woman. I hope she can be happy for the rest of her life."
A flock of white doves flew towards the distant sky. Until you can't see it.
