After Concubine Liao took the letter, she put it down silently after reading it.

"It's good if he's gone." Hu sighed. "Originally, I was thinking about how long a person of his temperament could endure after being driven away from the imperial capital in disguise. Fang Cai Xiangdong also said that the mourners in the palace have entered the palace, you and I will clean up, maybe the palace will summon us soon. All the gorgeous decorations in the house were removed, and the things that should be purchased were completed. ”

"Yes, the concubine knows, so let people arrange it immediately." Concubine Liao stood up. "The concubine went back to the room to change clothes first."

"Okay, there you go." Concubine Liao left the garden with the maid, and Hu Shi immediately got up, and his feet suddenly softened.

"Princess, be careful." Xiangdong's eyes were sharp, and he gently held Hu's arm and helped her stabilize her body. "The slave and maid help the princess back to her room."

Xiangdong carefully helped Hu Shi back to the room, and asked people to find a plain set of clothes for Hu Shi to change into, and the set of ruby jewelry that Hu was originally wearing on his head also had to be changed.

"Princess?" Seeing that Hu Shi didn't know what to think, Xiang Dong asked while gently taking off the hairpin on Hu's head. "Are you okay?"

"Well, I'm fine." Hu Shi came back to his senses, raised his hand and took off the earrings and put them lightly on the dressing table. "When he was doing those things, I was worried day and night that he would hurt me and the children, and I wished he could go. But it's been eight years since he left the imperial capital, and I can't even remember what he looks like. I was surprised to learn of his death,"

"Princess, if the prince inherits the throne, will the princess follow the prince out of the imperial capital?" The prince is the eldest son born to Hu and Xiao Jin, a few years ago when the eldest son of the Hu family came of age, Emperor Chu named him the prince of Jin.

"I can't say this, it stands to reason that if he hadn't died and been expelled from the imperial capital, he would have been able to live in the imperial capital for a long time with his identity." Xiang Dong's words reminded Hu Shi. "His coffin must be brought back and buried in the imperial mausoleum, but whether we can stay in the imperial capital is still unfinished."

As expected by the Hu family, when the person who reported the news from the palace entered the palace and arrived at the Lingyun Palace, it happened that the crown prince Xiao Yu happened to be in the Lingyun Palace to discuss government affairs with Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu suddenly heard the bad news of Xiao Jin's unexpected death, and the blood in his chest surged endlessly, and a mouthful of fishy sweetness jumped to his throat.

"Father." Seeing that the corners of Emperor Chu's mouth were overflowing with blood foam, Xiao Yu hurriedly stepped forward to support Emperor Chu. "Wu Chuan, please ask the imperial doctor."

"No, I'm fine." Emperor Chu barely calmed his breath, pressed Xiao Yu's hand and said to him. "Let the person continue."

The person who reported the news knelt in the hall, but he was articulate, and soon told the cause and effect of Xiao Jin's violent death.

As of today, Xiao Jin has been away from the imperial capital for eight years.

As a father, Emperor Chu didn't expect Xiao Jin to die at the hands of a concubine who couldn't bear his torture.

"Prince Jin didn't die violently." In an instant, Emperor Chu only felt physically and mentally exhausted. "He died of illness."

Even though Xiao Jin has done a lot of wrong things, he is dead now, and the real cause of his death is so unbearable. Even if it is not for Xiao Jin, but for the future reputation of the prince and Prince Jin's mansion, this matter must be covered up.

"Yes, Father." As soon as Emperor Chu spoke, Xiao Yu understood Emperor Chu's intentions. "After the second brother left the imperial capital, he was depressed and depressed all year round and drank all year round, and his body was indeed not as healthy as before. Since the second brother has died of illness, it is the right thing to bring back the coffin of the second brother for burial as soon as possible. ”

"You're right, send someone to pass on the princess and the prince to the palace." Emperor Chu closed his eyes tiredly, held his forehead and commanded Wu Chuandao. "Ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare a funeral post for Prince Jin to show me."

When the palace guards arrived at Prince Jin's mansion with Emperor Chu's message, Hu was already waiting in the front hall with her eldest son.

"I'm sorry for you." Hu Shi handed Concubine Liao, who was standing on the side, a look, and Concubine Liao willingly stuffed the silver ticket prepared in advance to the visitor. "I will enter the palace with the son."

"The princess is polite, it is my duty to do errands for Your Majesty." The leading palace guard did not shirk it, and accepted the silver ticket handed over by Concubine Liao. "The subordinates will escort the princess and the prince into the palace to face the saint."

"Thank you." Hu said with a reluctant smile. "Concubine Liao, I will enter the palace with the prince, and the affairs of the house will be handed over to you."

"Don't worry, princess." Concubine Liao nodded. "The concubine must take care of the house."

Hu took her eldest son into the Lingyun Palace, and when she saw Emperor Chu sitting on the dragon chair and Xiao Yu standing on the side, she immediately took her eldest son to salute.

"Get up." Emperor Chu saw their mother and son and spoke. "Do you know why I let you into the palace?"

"The concubine knows." Hu Shi stood up straight, raised his head and looked at Emperor Chu and said. "Prince Jin died in the fiefdom, and the concubine received a letter from Concubine He."

"Since you received a letter from He, you should know the real cause of his death." Emperor Chu said helplessly. "He died a terrible death, but fortunately the concubine was no longer there. So from now on, Prince Jin is just dying. ”

"The concubine understands." Emperor Chu would make such a decision, which was expected for the Hu family.

"He belongs to the prince, and he should be buried in the imperial mausoleum." Hu's reaction, Emperor Chu was very satisfied. "Let the prince go and pick him up."

"Yes, Imperial Grandfather." The eldest son of the Hu family responded. "My grandson has already packed his bags and will leave as soon as he leaves the palace."

"Good boy, come forward." Emperor Chu has always been very kind to his grandchildren, and when he looked at the eldest son of the Hu family, he smiled and waved at him.

When the eldest son of the Hu family walked in front of Emperor Chu, Emperor Chu opened his mouth again.

"It's a long way, you have to be careful along the way." Emperor Chu took his hand and asked him earnestly. "Grandfather Huang will send another team of pennant guards with you to protect you along the way."

"The grandson thanked the imperial grandfather." The eldest son of the Hu family nodded with slightly red eyes. "My grandson will definitely pick up my father and come back soon."

"Alright, it's okay." Emperor Chu patted him on the shoulder and said. "Go down and help your mother."

"Yes."

"When the coffin is brought back and buried in the daylight, let the prince succeed to the throne." Emperor Chu looked at the Hu mother and son who were supporting each other, and said again. "After the prince succeeds to the throne, he will stay in the palace of Prince Jin in the imperial capital, and those who serve him and those who have no heirs should stay and live there, and if you have children, if you want to go back to live in the imperial capital, let the prince take them back."

"The concubine and the prince have thanked Your Majesty." Emperor Chu was willing to take the initiative to leave the prince to continue to live in the imperial capital after succeeding to the throne, which was a surprise for the Hu family, and the Hu family knelt down with the prince excitedly.

"Alright, I'm tired." Emperor Chu was really a little tired. "Stand down."

When the Hu family and the eldest son left the palace together, the team of pennant guards who were responsible for guarding the eldest son of the Hu family who went to the fiefdom to pick up Xiao Jin's coffin also came back with them, and when the Hu family and the eldest son returned to Prince Jin's mansion, the team of pennant guards stayed outside the palace to standby.

"That group at the door is the pennant guards?" Concubine Liao, who came to the door to greet their mother and son, saw the pennant guard outside the door, and her face couldn't help but change. "Did Your Majesty say anything?"

"Don't worry, the pennant guard outside is escorting the prince to retrieve his coffin." Hu Shi first spoke to appease Concubine Liao, and then said to the eldest son beside him. "You go back to your yard, let the princess pack up your things, and set off today."

"Yes, my son knows, so I'll go back and prepare." The eldest son of the Hu family was born quite heroic, and he was not very similar to the Hu family and Xiao Jin, but was similar to his maternal grandfather Li Guogong. "Mother, Liao, I'll go down."

After the eldest son of the Hu family went down with his entourage, Concubine Liao took the initiative to step forward and hold the Hu family.

"Princess, you brought the prince into the palace with you, did Your Majesty have any other instructions besides ordering the prince to take back His Highness's coffin?" Concubine Liao also has her own selfishness in asking about this matter, her daughter got married last year, and only gave birth to a pair of Yuxue's lovely twins a few years ago.

Concubine Liao can still visit her daughter and grandchildren from time to time, if she has to go to live in the fiefdom in the future, she doesn't know if she can see her daughter again in this life.

"I see what you mean." Hu said. "Your Majesty did order a few things, the first thing is that the cause of his death can only be illness, the second is that his coffin will be buried for a hundred years and the son will succeed to the throne, and the third is that the son does not have to go to the fief after succeeding to the throne, and can stay in the imperial capital to live."

"Really?" Concubine Liao asked unexpectedly. "Is that really what Your Majesty said?"

"Can I still lie to you about this kind of thing?" Hu Shi and Concubine Liao said. "Your Majesty also said that those women over there, who did not give birth to a son and a half daughter, will continue to live there, and those who have children will be brought back to the imperial capital together. When the time comes, there will be more people in the house, and they will hide if they think about right and wrong. I'm always a lazy person, and I need to trouble you more about things in the future. ”

"As long as you can continue to stay in the imperial capital, it doesn't hurt if the concubine is tired." After listening to Hu's words, Concubine Liao's heart was finally put back in her stomach. "The matter at that end of the concubine body and Concubine He Fang have always been in harmony, even if the other end can be picked up, but there are only a dozen or so more people in the house, and the concubine body can still cope with it."

"I'm naturally relieved that you're doing things." Hu Shi thought for a moment and said. "But you must take care of those people who have been brought back, don't let them say anything that shouldn't be said, and they will tarnish the reputation of our Prince Jin's Mansion in vain. There are still some children in the house who are not married, so there must be no stubble. ”

"The princess's worries are well known in her body and mind, and the princess can rest assured."
