Queen Wang died in childbirth, one corpse and two lives, and the whole country was mourned.

For a time, the rumor that the queen could not bear the heavy responsibility of giving birth to heaven and man spread, but the king's generosity and benevolence did not investigate her fault, and ordered a large funeral for her.

The entire North Hades Palace was mournful and solemn, and the heavy tents were replaced overnight, and the eyes were full of whiteness. The place where the queen rested was filled with ice basins, and even the coffin where she had last rested was covered with ice, so that her body could be kept from decaying for three days.

The person in the coffin had been cleaned up, wearing the queen's regulated gown, and the sparse sideburns that fell out of pregnancy were also neatly combed up, with a golden and brilliant phoenix crown. But the pain she suffered before she died made her face withered, her eye sockets were deeply blued and black, and her once flower-like face was ruined, and no matter how much she repaired and remedied, she was powerless to return to heaven. The faint flush of rouge seemed to float on her cheeks, and it could not be integrated with it.

Next to her coffin, there were several smaller coffins lined up.

This is the king's gratitude for the loyalty of the palace people around the queen and allows them to accompany the queen to sleep forever. If it weren't for their hideous faces, perhaps there would have been people who would have believed such a statement.

The ladies in the three rooms of the Gongsun Mansion are all life-threatening wives, and they don't care about the miscellaneous things in the house, they all change out of brocade clothes, and wear white linen clothes to accompany the old lady Gongsun into the palace to cry and mourn.

The continuous rain seemed to be particularly commensurate with the situation, and an indescribable depression and grief flowed down the rain to all parts of Kyoto. Hearing that the death knell of the queen's funeral was ringing, the prince was so grief-stricken that he fainted several times in front of the queen's spirit.

The king recited his filial piety and allowed him to personally support the coffin and send the queen to the imperial tomb for burial.

In the afternoon of the East Palace, the wind is gentle, and the grass and trees in the garden are washed by the rain, becoming more and more verdant and green.

The crown prince stretched out his arms, and the side concubine Cui Yun decorated his robe.

At the end, the two looked at each other, and their expressions seemed to be able to communicate with each other without words, Cui Yun gently snuggled in Beishan Xun's arms and said, "The concubine is here waiting for you to come back." ”

Kitayama Shun stroked the sideburns in her ear, only she could make his mood a little more stable at this time, he nodded slightly, turned around and walked outside.

……

Gongsun Lan took a carriage out of the mansion and wanted to go to the north mansion to talk to Yang Zheng about some details of the matter, but when he passed through the market, he was suddenly attracted by the noise. "What's going on over there?"

Li Chaosheng worked hard to adjust the carriage, and replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came out of Xingshan Gate, I am afraid that it has attracted a lot of onlookers. ”

Gongsun Lan frowned and said, "I didn't expect that we would take a detour and still be blocked here." ”

Duchun said: "In order to show his virtuous and filial piety, the prince threw gold and silver along the way, attracting the people to go one after another. ”

The moon probe glanced outside, and saw that many people were trotting all the way to the front, and the carriage was blocked so that it could not go smoothly, so he stopped one of them and asked, "This aunt, are you all going to pick up silver?" ”

Twilight was stunned, pulled her back, closed the curtain, and glared, "How could you ask that!" ”

Yuexi was puzzled: "Didn't they go to rob the silver?" ”

Twilight Chun glared at her speechlessly, turned her head and asked Gongsun Lan, "Miss, what should we do?" Do you want to go back and go another way? ”

Gongsun Lan looked outside and said, "Anyway, we ran into it, let's go ahead and have a look." ”

Twilight Chun stopped, "There will be too many people, what if Miss is bumped into." Let's wait. ”

"What is our young lady stretching out her hand, where will we be bumped into, and besides, we will dress up like this for convenience soon?" Yuexi thought that there was a lively and uncomfortable lord, she pointed to her men's clothes and retorted urgently.

Twilight Chun couldn't help her, and looked at Gongsun Lan. Gongsun Lan patted her and said, "It's okay, let's go." ”

The three masters and servants got out of the car and asked Li Chaosheng to pull the carriage to the side of the street and wait.

From time to time, there was an anxious or excited voice in the crowd: "Let go, don't be too greedy!" ”

"Oops! Let me pass! ”

Gongsun Lan stood on the side of the street, looked at the crowded crowd in front of him, and said in a low voice: "It's obviously a funeral, but it's like a grand event." ”

Duchun was a little disdainful of the prince's behavior, and said: "His Royal Highness the prince has a good reputation for accumulating virtue for the king and queen, but in fact, he is winning people's hearts for himself." ”

Gongsun Lan said: "In the current situation, he can't help but be in a hurry. ”

Yue Xi said: "It is better to give the money to the people than to leave it to him for his own ruin!" ”

Twilight raised an eyebrow and said, "That's what you say. ”

The roads in Kyoto have been repaired several times and are already very wide, so even if you encounter a marriage or something else on weekdays, it is enough for people to watch the excitement on both sides of the road. But now it is summer, and many shops are selling in front of the door, and when they catch up with such an incident made by the prince today, it is suddenly crowded, and it is simply delusional for the carriage to pass smoothly.

In the midst of the noise, the huge coffin of the queen and queen was the first to come into view, and the chariot of the prince followed behind the coffin, and the gold lacquer and jade on the wall of the carriage were all covered with white cloth, looking sad and desolate, slowly moving forward in the crowd. Fortunately, there were people from the yamen to maintain order on the side, so they barely blocked the people from approaching, but the prince's chariot almost stopped three times in one step, and it walked very slowly. Thin gold and silver leaves continued to be thrown out along with the paper, attracting the people who were watching on the roadside to rush forward and take it by force.

There is no rain today, but the weather is even hotter, and the clouds are black overhead, and you can't squeeze out half a drop of rain, as if you want to accumulate to a certain temperature and then fall majestically. The white spirit flags fluttering, which is very commensurate with such a sky.

The prince sat on the chariot, with only a thin white silk veil in front of him, and the people around him could clearly see his expression.

His face was very pale, and his expression was extremely sad, as if he had been struck by the death of the queen. In fact, it is true, the queen is gone, he seems to have become a loner in an instant, and the forces that were once firmly attached to their mother and son seem to have to be reconsidered, which makes him uneasy and anxious.

He tried his best to comfort himself in his heart that the situation would not be so bad, and that he had no mother and three sisters to help him.

At this moment, the sound of Gu Xun's performance suddenly came from the noisy crowd, and Xun's timbre was already whimpering, and it was even more low in this situation, as if it was a woman's choking.

But everyone only thought that someone happened to be playing, and did not pay much attention. Only the crown prince straightened his body in one moment, and the next moment he suddenly lifted the curtain with his hand, looked at the direction from which the voice came and muttered something in shock.

Although Gongsun Lan and the others stood far away, the terrain was quite high, and with her eyesight, she could clearly see the prince's movements behind the thin gauze curtain. She clearly saw the movement of the other party's lips, and said the word "queen mother"!

Immediately afterwards, before there was time for people to react, the prince suddenly stepped out of the carriage in a few steps, and ran forward along the road opened up by the official mission, while frequently looking in one direction.

The guards were stunned for a moment and didn't have time to stop them, the prince had already run out alone, and when he reacted, dozens of people followed behind and chased after him, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic, and even the coffin of the queen almost collided!

Gongsun Lan was startled, and something flashed in his heart.

"Let's go, let's follow!"

Dui Chun had never practiced fist and foot kung fu, and after walking a few steps, his movements were very slow, Gongsun Lan was anxious in his heart, and said to them: "Yuexi, you take Duchun, go back to the carriage and wait for me first, I'll go to the front first, and I'll be back in a while!" ”

The two wanted to stop it, but the crowd surged, and Gongsun Lan moved quickly, and suddenly lost her trace. Twilight said hurriedly: "What should I do, Yuexi, you don't care about me, you follow quickly!" ”

It's not chasing the monthly interest, it's not chasing it, and it's not chasing it, so he said urgently: "Then what should you do?" ”

"I'll go back to the carriage, don't worry about me, go quickly! Keep up! ”

Yuexi said: "Then you hurry back to the carriage to find Li Chaosheng, fortunately, it's not far away, I'll go to find Miss." ”

Gongsun Lan shuttled through the crowd, and finally reached the edge of the crowd, and she was able to jump into the height. Seeing that the relationship between the prince and the guards was gradually blocked by the crowded people, a sense of crisis surged out of her heart.

Those people were obviously deliberate, and whenever the prince's guards tried to squeeze out of the crowd, they were immediately congested back.

The prince just ran away under the eyelids of dozens of guards!

Everyone didn't know what the prince had seen, what he had suddenly gone crazy, why he ran into the crowd alone! Gongsun Lan was also very puzzled in his heart, why did the prince suddenly look at a certain part of the crowd and spit out the word "queen mother"!

Will the body of the queen be in the coffin in front of him soon?

Gongsun Lan struggled to chase in the direction where the prince was running, but the other party was in the crowd, and he was swallowed up in the blink of an eye, disappearing without a trace, and he didn't even know whether he was caught or fell to the ground and was drowned by the crowd. She stood on a rooftop and looked around, lost for a moment and didn't know where to go.

At this moment, she saw a familiar figure in the corner of a house, in such an irritable atmosphere, he was dressed in a pale brocade robe, and his light and noble temperament lined the hibiscus full of trees full of fiery red to the top of the tree more dazzling. But even if Zhu Jin is scorching, he can only become the background of the man in front of him.

Gongsun Lan's eyes looked over, Yang Zhen was also looking at her, he saw that she saw himself, and immediately made a hidden gesture of beckoning.

Gongsun Lan looked around, first went down the high wall, and then walked quickly down the alley in the direction of Yang Zheng. Seeing her coming, Yang Shu reached out and grabbed her wrist and walked around the corner, and a clear light spread to her skin, making her anxious mood gradually calm down, "Where did you see the prince?" ”

"How can you find someone with such a poor sense of direction?"

Gongsun Lan blushed and said, "It's just that there are too many people......

There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Yang Zhen's mouth, and he was noncommittal: "Little fool, this is a trap, if you really find someone, you will fall into the other party's arms." ”

Gongsun Lan was suddenly surprised: "What? ”
