Although the princess of Chang'an told the county guard to look for a few more days before going to the court, the county guard also knew what kind of place Fireworks Lane was, and how could a woman from a good family get out of the house if she went in? He only waited for a few days to report Xu Shu's death directly, and then gave up searching for Xu Shu, anyway, the people who came back from that place were also abolished, and the search for death and life was just to add trouble to him, and at this moment, Princess Chang'an had already gone away, and it was impossible to go back to pursue him, so he completely let go of the matter after the book.

When the excerpt of Xu Shu's death was presented to the emperor, the queen was about to give birth, but she was still with the king every day, the emperor looked at the fold, and then raised his eyes to look at the queen's eyes a little unbearable, the emperor knew that the queen seemed to like the girl of the Xu family very much, but at this moment the girl was no longer there, if the queen knew that she would have to be sad, how could it be good to have a fetal gas? So he silently put the fold aside, and did not intend to tell the queen.

It's just that the queen noticed the emperor's glance just now, walked to the emperor's side with her stomach up, and the two eunuchs behind her hurriedly carried chairs behind her, and after sitting down, the queen asked, "Does Your Majesty have anything to say to your concubines?" ”

The emperor shook his head, "It's okay, I'm just afraid that the queen will be bored!" ”

The queen smiled, "It is the blessing of the concubines to be able to accompany Your Majesty, how can the concubines feel bored?" ”

The emperor smiled, pinched the fold, and still didn't plan to tell the queen, the queen looked at the fold, knowing that the content of the fold must be strange, and saw the mark of Pingliang City printed on the fold, so he said, "I heard that the princess has arrived in Pingliang City a few days ago, counting the delay on the road, now the princess should have been out of the customs, right?" ”

The emperor nodded, "It's time to get out of the customs, and it will be there in about two months!" Seeing that the queen was still staring at the fold, the emperor had to sigh and say, "That's it, I won't hide it from you, but don't be too sad when you hear it!" ”

The queen wondered, "Why did Your Majesty say this?" What is it that makes His Majesty so embarrassed? ”

"The excerpt that Pingliang just sent said that Miss Xu Jiu died of illness!" The emperor spread out the fold and pushed it in front of the queen.

The queen was shocked, and hurriedly took the fold to look at it, and sure enough, when she saw the words of death, her face darkened, "That day, when the concubine was in Chuxiu Palace, she felt that her face was not good, as if she was sick, she was not in good health, this long journey, all the way, after all, she couldn't hold on..."

"I know that the queen loves Miss Xu Jiu very much, and I am afraid that the queen will be sad when she finds out, so I want to hide it, but I also know that when I learned the news from the queen mother, the queen should complain about me, but the queen should think of the dragon heir, take care of herself, and don't be too sad!" The emperor stroked the queen's round belly, and there was strong eagerness and anticipation in his eyes.

The queen smiled lightly, "Although the concubine feels sad, but after thinking about it, death may not be a relief for her, she can't see, her life is harder than others, and God treats her unkindly, so that she was born in such a family, and she has suffered a lot of hardships in the next life, I just hope that she can be safer!" Although she said this, but in the end, a life was gone, and she was able to regain her grace all thanks to Xu Shu, how could she not feel sad when she learned of Xu Shu's death at this moment?

The queen was quite dissatisfied with the Xu family in her words, and the emperor couldn't help but say, "If it weren't for the regulations submitted by the Ministry of Etiquette, I would never have paid attention to it, and later I learned that the Deng family wanted to rob the Xu family of the family!" If it weren't for the face of the queen mother, the Deng family would have controlled the affairs of the court like this for their own selfish interests, how could I have spared it! "The emperor's ascension to the throne depends on the full support of the Deng family, even if the Deng family has repeatedly interfered in the resolutions of the DPRK and China, but looking at the merits of the Deng family back then, and the empress dowager is there, the emperor can only repeatedly tolerate the various behaviors of the Deng family.

The queen saw that the emperor was faintly angry, so she comforted, "The emperor is angry, even though the Deng family tried a thousand calculations, they didn't succeed in the end, but it's a pity that Miss Xu Jiu died in a foreign land at a young age, and she didn't even keep a corpse!" Xu Shu's body has been cremated, and the ashes have entered Beijing with the song.

"Deng family!" The emperor snorted and didn't speak, he endured the Deng family for half his life, but the empress dowager was still there, and he had to endure it any longer, so when Xu Shu got married, when the queen proposed to let Xu Shu's sister Xu Ting fulfill the marriage contract instead of Xu Shu and marry into the Qi family, the emperor did not hesitate to approve it, and he couldn't see the Deng family proud!

"Let Miss Xu Jiu settle in the ground earlier!" The queen sighed, but the discomfort in her heart did not improve.

The emperor nodded, "Go back and let the Xu family bring Miss Xu Jiu's ashes back for burial!" Seeing the queen's sad expression, she persuaded again, "The queen, look away!" ”

The queen smiled reluctantly, "The concubine can't help but think that if Miss Xu Jiu hadn't been so embarrassed when she entered the palace instead of her sister, she might not have died!" ”

The Xu family forced Xu Shu to replace Xu Ting, but the others knew that this was the case but did not say anything, and connived at this happening, which eventually led to Xu Shu's death.

But acquiesced in Xu Shu's replacement of Xu Ting's Empress Dowager, the emperor can't say that the Empress Dowager is not, but what the Empress said is the truth, and the emperor can't bear to accuse the Empress at such a time, so he can only say, "I will issue a decree to reward the Xu family, and not waste Miss Xu Jiu's righteousness!" "The emperor didn't know that Xu Shu was forced by the Xu family to come, but Xu Shu took the initiative to sacrifice herself because she felt sorry for her sister.

As soon as she heard that the emperor was going to reward the Xu family, the queen was not happy, "The emperor's words are wrong, Miss Xu Jiu's death and her family will be very sad, if the emperor gives a heavy reward, wouldn't it make them remember Miss Xu Jiu's death all the time when they look at the reward, wouldn't it be even more sad and sad?" ”

"What should the queen say?" In this case, it is the practice of the court to appease the family with a generous reward, but the emperor also feels that it makes sense to listen to the queen's words, and now the emperor obeys the queen's words and is even more willing to listen to the queen's opinion.

The queen said, "The emperor has not forgotten, although Miss Xu Jiu was born in the Xu family, but she is the beloved disciple of Miaofan Shitai of Hanxi Temple, Miaofan Shitai will take Miss Xu Jiu every time she enters the palace, and since last year, Miss Xu Jiu has lived in Beizhuang, studied Buddhist scriptures, as if she was half a Buddhist disciple, it is that the emperor may wish to reward Hanxi Temple, first, the monks have long broken off the red dust and vulgar thoughts, and will not feel sad for Miss Xu Jiu, secondly, Miaofan Shitai is a respected person, Hanxi Temple has been rewarded and the world feels that the emperor attaches great importance to Buddhism, It is an emperor who is as compassionate as the Buddha, and the three Miao Fan Shi Tai is respected by the Empress Dowager, and the emperor rewards Hanxi Temple, which is also a sign of respect for the Empress Dowager, which is the embodiment of filial piety! ”
