The prince's body has not returned to Beijing, the emperor has dropped out of the dynasty for two days, and the Ministry of Rites does not dare to squeak if he wants to organize the funeral, so he can only prepare funeral supplies first.

The emperor sent Liu Shilang of the Criminal Department and Jiang Ji, the Duke of Zhenguo, to investigate the cause of the prince's death, he had the same doubts as the queen, the prince's body was not bad, why did a small epidemic kill him? The body of the sick Lin Ying'er must be examined, and the Changzhou Zhizhou can't let go of his daughter's sacrifice for glory, where is Lin Ying'er's original ancestral hometown, whether the family background is innocent, what teachings did he receive after entering the Lin family, Lin Zhizhou can have dealings with sensitive people, who served around him during the prince's illness, whether the subordinates he was close to him and the two imperial doctors stationed in the palace are innocent, and the post house officials can be suspicious, and they must be carefully investigated. If there is a trace of man-made traces, the emperor's thunderous wrath will definitely ambush the corpse and flow millions of blood.

Jing'er has lived in the palace for a few days, her brother has lost her beloved son, how can she not accompany her at this time, I heard that her husband is going to the south to pick up Brother Yi'er's body back, she is very worried, and she doesn't dare to plead for her husband, before Brother Yi'er was sick in Changnan, the queen wanted Jiang Ji to pick him up, but my brother didn't respond, I was afraid that Jiang Ji would be sad if she had a case, but now Brother Yi died there, Guo Qing and Lord Liu stayed there to cook, Liu Shilang was going to investigate the case, and the clan should send someone to preside over the funeral and pick up his body back to his hometown. The clan is withering, King Lijun is old, Qiao Qingyun is a foreign surname and a civil official, he and Liu Shilang have little role to play together, and at this time they need someone who can calm the field.

Brother Ye invited himself to pick up his brother, but the queen refused to stop her, she had already lost a son, how could she let Brother Ye go into danger again, and the emperor did not allow it, and finally Jiang Ji stood up by himself, the emperor hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, it is ridiculous that he has been pushing other families to suppress the Jiang family, but only the Jiang family can be trusted at the critical moment.

Jiang Ji was going to the south, where the epidemic had not subsided, she was a little worried, so she took the time to go home, packed up Jiang Ji's things, and told him to be careful when he came into contact with people, and he would come back soon after picking up Brother Yi, and hand over the investigation to Liu Shilang and Lord Liu.

Jiang Ji asked her to relax, Brother Yi was raised in the deep palace and did not receive any exercise, and his body and bones could not stand the wind and frost, he had not suffered from the harsh environment of going south and north, and the epidemic was nothing when he was young.

After Jiang Ji left, Jing'er took Chaoyang to live in the palace again, her brother and sister-in-law were all defeated, she could only take on the challenge of organizing the funeral, even if Brother Yi had not come back, everything in the palace had to be arranged, the people in the palace were panicked like a ball of scattered sand, and the people in the small palace were talking about it, she had to suppress it. The crown princess gave birth, the East Palace was gloomy, the emperor didn't even go to see the newborn little emperor grandson, and the queen accompanied the princess on the day she gave birth, and then never set foot in the East Palace, as soon as she entered that place, she thought of her son who died young, and she needed some time to accept these things. The orphans and widows in the East Palace are also pitiful, and Jing'er asked Chaoyang to accompany her cousin and little nephew to take care of the people in the East Palace.

Brother Ye also lived in the palace, comforting his parents while helping his aunt preside over the funeral, Jing'er asked him to go home to see, the princess was also pregnant, and she would be afraid if her husband was not at home.

Brother Ye doesn't have the heart to think about these now, let people go out to spread a word, either let her mother-in-law go to the palace to accompany her, or she will go back to her parents' house to raise her for a few days, and live in the palace or goodbye, now this palace is not chaotic enough.

The emperor was depressed for a few days, but he still had to cheer up and take care of the affairs of the court, as the king of a country, even the pain of losing a child had no time to be sad, this dynasty needed him, and he was physically and mentally exhausted at the moment, and he needed an assistant, but his assistant had left him, no matter the court affairs and family affairs, no one could help him share one or two.

Brother Ye saw his father's powerlessness in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, hating himself for being useless, why didn't he die, if he died, his parents would be sad, but his brother would definitely take care of everything and solve problems for his father, unlike him who can only do chores, such a big person can't do his part in the palace.

The prince's body has not yet returned to Beijing, the funeral cannot be officially held, Jing'er has prepared everything that should be prepared, and everything will be put on hold first, without these things can be busy, quiet down The whole palace is full of death and sadness, Jing'er is depressed by these emotions and is also sad and pregnant, what a good child Brother Yi is, how can God be so cruel.

The news of the prince's death came, the emperor learned of excessive grief in the imperial study and almost fainted, the palace people carried him back to the Qianyuan Palace to recuperate, the queen was sad in Kunyi Palace, the two never met, Brother Ye ran on both sides, mostly accompanied by the queen mother, after all, the father and the emperor were accompanied by the aunt, but the queen mother was the only one.

Jing'er went to the East Palace to see the princess's mother and son, the East Palace was miserable and bitter, the princess couldn't stop crying in the month, and she would definitely break her eyes in the future, the little emperor and grandson were well-behaved and quiet, but everyone would think of his father when they saw him, and he didn't know the pain of losing his father in his infancy, but they were full of suffering.

Jing'er comforted the princess a few words, the princess's mother had already come to the palace to accompany her, Jing'er asked them to have anything to do with the palace people, she took Chaoyang away and went to accompany her brother to lunch.

The emperor has gone to the imperial study to deal with political affairs, he will not go to court for a few days, government affairs have accumulated a lot, Xia Shoufu and a few Shangshu discussed court affairs with him, the emperor listened and listened, and the few adults below looked at each other, and did not dare to say more, how can the pain of losing a child be comforted by a sentence of mourning, not to mention the well-cultivated eldest son.

Losing an excellent prince, their courtiers are also grieving, the prince used to sit firmly in the throne, and he had a good demeanor, he was able to serve the courtiers to suppress his younger siblings, the former dynasty and the harem were peaceful, there was no controversy at all, and now the prince has fallen, and there will be a famine to fight in the future, and they don't know how to stand in line.

The emperor's current state is no longer suitable for receiving these courtiers, let them go back first, he will see these excerpts for himself, and what will be passed on to them.

Several adults took their leave, and met Jing'er's mother and daughter outside the imperial study, and asked her to take care of His Majesty more, and Jing'er also entrusted them to take care of court affairs.

Jing'er entered the imperial study, and saw her brother sitting on the dragon chair with empty eyes, she gently went over and took his hand and led him to the dining room, saying that if you don't have the heart to do the court, you won't look at it, the court can't collapse without him for a day, the family and the country are all over the world, he hasn't even taken care of his own family affairs, how can he have the heart to take care of state affairs.

Jing'er personally sandwiched the dishes for her brother, he hid his preferences for many years, and did not stretch his chopsticks more than three times for any dish, but Jing'er always knew his preferences, he did not stretch the chopsticks at the dining table, she would pretend to be too much to eat, and put them in his bowl.

This way of getting along with her brother and sister is a little tiring, but she understands that her brother is tired like this for the sake of his family, and she has already benefited a lot, and she can't share anything for him, so she can only be considerate of him in these little things.
