998. Burial
The next day, the ladies were ordered to go to the Qingwang Mansion to worship Prince Long An, according to the regulations, they had to worship for nine consecutive days before it was finished, and then they had to go to the funeral to cry.
It's just that before the Zheng family's daughters went out, there was news again!
Prince Longan's concubine Li committed suicide!
"What? Then Lee is dead? When did you die? ”
When she heard the news, Mrs. Zheng Si was still combing her makeup, afraid that her makeup would be taboo, so she picked out the dull fat powder and used it on her face, so that she looked sad and not good-looking.
Jin Ling said, "That's what the person who came to deliver the message said, saying that the palace maid who went to deliver meals to Aunt Li early this morning entered the house and found Aunt Li hanging in the middle of the room, her body was stiff, I think it should be last night, and there is a suicide note left on the table next to it!" ”
"And a suicide note? What is written in the suicide note? Xu Shu entered the room and asked when she heard Jin Ling's words.
But Jin Ling shook her head, "This suicide note is naturally going to be sent to the palace to show the Empress Dowager, how can a little chamberlain who came to report the news know what is written in the suicide note?" However, some people have heard that Aunt Li is because the prince died, and she is grateful for the love with the prince and refuses to live alone, so she committed suicide and was buried! ”
"Mother!" Xu Shu bowed down, "I just heard about Aunt Li's death, so I want to come and ask......"
Mrs. Zheng Si bowed slightly, beckoned Xu Shu to come closer, stroked the back of her hand and said, "You still have some relationship with her, and I saw her yesterday, such a big living person, suddenly disappeared overnight, it scared you!" ”
Xu Shu shook her head slightly, "I just didn't expect her to die suddenly......" Yesterday, I saw that Li Fu was still a delicate girl with an angry face, and she turned into a cold corpse overnight.
Martyrdom?
Based on the conversation between Li Fu and Grandma Li that Xu Shu heard yesterday, Xu Shu is sure that Li Fu is definitely not the kind of person who has a deep love for the prince and will commit suicide and be buried, otherwise she would not have listened to Grandma Li's persuasion, so she wanted to win the title of the crown princess and cry, she wanted the title of the crown princess because she wanted to live well!
But now Lev is dead......
"I didn't expect ......it either" Although Mrs. Zheng Si didn't have any feelings for Li Fu, but when she thought that Li Fu was a year or two younger than Xu Shu, she died like this, and she didn't feel a good feeling in her heart, "I thought that I could still see her crying when I went to Qingwangfu today, so I thought that today's worship was not difficult, but I didn't expect it...... Yesterday, I cried like a pear blossom with rain, and it became a cloud ......of smoke in an instant."
Xu Shu lowered her head for a long time, and suddenly said, "I'll go with my mother today!" ”
Mrs. Zheng Si thought about the relationship between Xu Shu and Li Fu, and finally nodded, "You guys are also acquaintances, so let's go and send her!" He also advised, "Later, if you meet the old lady and say something ugly, you should take care of it more, don't worry about the old lady, the old lady has been angry lately!" "Although the old lady said yesterday that she would not go today, she changed her mind temporarily, so Mrs. Zheng Si still instructed her in advance.
The prince died, Zheng Wanli's move was nullified, and the old lady's unhappiness was expected by Xu Shu, "Mother rest assured, I can save it!" ”
Sure enough, I still ran into the old lady, although it was not that the old lady changed her mind, but Mrs. Zheng insisted on going to the old lady first and then set off, so that Xu Shu could only follow, but the old lady didn't say anything after seeing Xu Shu, just glanced at it lightly and didn't say a word.
And Xu Shu keenly found that although today's old lady is dressed dullly, the clothes are ironed neatly, not common casual clothes, and the old lady's makeup and hair are neat, as if she is going out.
There is just no concubine in the palace, and there is not too much movement, everything is still based on the funeral of Prince Long An, and even Li Fu's mourning hall is not arranged, but the courtyard where Li Fu lives is scribbled for a day, and it is regarded as a mourning hall for the rest of the spirit, and in order not to collide with the prince's funeral, everything is simple, except for a girl who guards the spirit in front of the spirit, and then Li Fu's biological mother, Grandma Li.
Originally, Grandma Li was sitting well in front of the spirit, but when she heard footsteps, she immediately threw herself on the coffin and cried, "My son, my heart!" Why can't you think of looking for a short-sightedness? Everyone is sad when the prince dies, but no matter how sad you are, you can't just follow the prince! You don't want to live alone because of your love affair with the prince, but why don't you want to think about it, what are you going to do if you leave me with this old bone? You took me with you! ”
Grandma Li was crying and was about to hit the coffin, but of course the maidservant stopped her at the right time, "Grandma, grandma, don't be like this, if Miss Afu is still here, she will be sad to see you like this!" ”
Xu Shu frowned and looked at Grandma Li, who was crying endlessly, and was hesitating whether to go in, but Grandma Li had already seen her, "May I ask who is this ......?" Are you here to see my family? ”
Grandma Li hasn't seen Xu Shu many times, and it's reasonable not to know Xu Shu, who has become Zheng Wanyi, but Li Fu knows her, Xu Shu doesn't know if Li Fu has told Grandma Li about this, but looking at Grandma Li's current attitude, Xu Shu can only act as if she doesn't know.
"Our young lady is Miss Zheng Jiajiu!" Yuzhu introduced.
"It turned out to be Miss Zheng Jiu, I heard Afu mention it, you have seen it!" Grandma Li wiped her tears, looking at Xu Shu's eyes full of infinite grief, and there was a hint of comfort in her grief, "Afu is leaving, you are the first person to come to see her, it can be seen that your relationship is very good!" ”
Xu Shu raised her eyebrows slightly, if Li Fu was in the Rongguo Mansion at the beginning, and it was really for her sake to let Qi Rui go to the side courtyard instead of that Ge Da, she would admit that their relationship was very good!
"People can't be resurrected after death, you mourn!" Xu Shu glanced at this simple mourning hall, the sudden death of a person, and the national funeral of Prince Long An, it was inevitable that he would be ignored!
Xu Shu's mourning made Grandma Li cry again, and choked up, "I'd rather go with her, it's better than suffering from this white-haired person sending a black-haired person!" Don't say it, don't say it...... Miss Zheng Jiu and my family Afu have met once, since they came to see her off, let's give her a pillar of incense! ”
The maidservant handed the lit incense to Xu Shu, Xu Shu looked at the smoke, the thin tablet that simply said "Li's Spiritual Position", is there such a small piece of wood left after the person died?
