Chapter 958: Returning to the West (2)

Xie Mingxi stood on the edge of the bed, not moving.

She just watched the Empress Dowager Yu vomit blood and die with such cold eyes.

He didn't stop when he was dying, and he wanted to stab her in the heart. Even so, she didn't need to show mercy, and she was so angry that Empress Dowager Yu vomited blood and died.

Empress Dowager Yu is finally dead!

This thorn in the flesh was finally completely removed.

From today on, she and Sheng Hong will no longer have any worries, and they can pave the way for Ah Luo wholeheartedly.

Xie Mingxi leaned down and reached out to probe Empress Dowager Yu's snort. After making sure that Empress Dowager Yu was breathless, she turned around and walked outside the bedroom.

The moment he stepped out of the threshold, Xie Mingxi's face showed a thick sadness, his eyes were slightly red, and he said to the people waiting outside the door: "The queen mother has gone." ”

As soon as the four words came out, a cry of pain suddenly sounded.

Sheng Hong's eyes also turned red at the right time, and said hoarsely: "Go in with me and kowtow to the queen mother." ”

The emperor and queen took the lead in the bedroom, kneeling on the edge of the bed, and Ah Luo knelt beside the emperor.

Princess Changping and the concubine Gu Qing knelt down together, and Gu Shujin and Zhao Yiming, who had not been married for a long time, also knelt on the side of the bed together.

Zhao Changqing led Brother Ji and Sister Rong to kneel, Xiao Yuhan was on her side, and Yin Xiaoxiao was on her side. There is also King An, whose presence is thin and weak, kneeling at the back with red eyes.

In addition, there were several concubines such as Concubine Mei and Concubine Jing, who also knelt down.

There was a knocking sound in the dormitory, and there was a cry of pain.

The death knell was soon sounded, one after another, throughout the capital.

Empress Dowager Yu, who has been in charge of the palace for decades, is destined to return to the West Heaven.

……

The mourning and crying in the Fulin Palace spread throughout the harem.

Gu Shanchang, who closed his eyes and recuperated, woke up in a faint cry, sat up straight on the bed, and hurriedly shouted: "Ruoyao! Ruoyao! ”

Ruoyao walked in quickly and supported Gu Shanchang, whose body was trembling.

"Ruoyao, did you hear the cry?" After a long time, Gu Shan Chang opened his mouth in a low voice, and his voice was a little choked.

Ruoyao's eyes also glowed with water, and she whispered: "Yes, the Queen Mother has returned to heaven." ”

Gu Shanchang didn't say anything more.

The water light in his eyes gathered little by little, and in the end, it turned into a little teardrop and rolled down.

Gu Shanchang cried silently, and Ruoyao's heart was also full of sourness. She has been by Gu Shanchang's side for many years, and she knows the friendship between Gu Shanchang and Empress Dowager Yu best.

Unfortunately, people's hearts are fickle. This deep friendship was cut off by the dark and twisted Empress Dowager Yu in the end.

Ruoyao stretched out her hand to hug Gu Shanchang, choked and comforted: "Miss, don't be sad. In life, no one can escape birth, old age, sickness and death. The Queen Mother is over fifty years old, and she is already considered to be a long life......"

Gu Shanchang leaned on Ruoyao's body and burst into tears.

A man dies like a lamp goes out. All grievances have also dissipated. Whether it is hatred or resentment, people are gone. From then on, there was no more Yu Lianniang in the world.

……

The death knell resounded throughout the capital.

This time, all the officials and family members in the capital were already prepared. These days, it has long been rumored that the Queen Mother's phoenix health is not good, but she is just staying up. Everyone had a plain dress in their homes.

Hearing the bell, all the officials and the edict immediately changed into plain clothes and entered the palace to mourn.

The palace held funerals one after another, and all the things needed for funerals in the internal affairs office were readily available. Handle the funeral to be familiar with the road.

The mourning hall is set up as usual inside and outside the mourning hall, and all the female dependents go to the Fulin Palace to kneel and mourn. Xie Mingxi, as the queen, took care of the funeral in the Fulin Palace.

The outer mourning hall is located in Yongcheng Palace.

All officials knelt in Yongcheng Palace. King An, Brother Ji and others are also in Yongcheng Palace.

The prince of Fenyang and the princes and princes of the county did not leave the palace, and directly entered the mourning hall to return to the spirit. The king of Fenyang County came to Sheng Hong's side and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, is the testimony submitted by the envoy of the Zhao Yuan going to be made public?" ”

Once it is made public, Empress Dowager Yu will be infamous for murdering the Son of Heaven, and she will not be qualified to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.

Sheng Hong had obviously thought about this problem, and said in a low voice: "No need. My father has been dead for several years, so why bother turning over old things. Moreover, as soon as this matter spread, the heavenly family lost its dignity. ”

The dead are gone, save some last face for Empress Dowager Yu!

The King of Fenyang nodded.

"However, this matter has to be known to several pavilion elders, and the two Yu families have to let them know about it." Sheng Hong commanded in a low voice: "It's up to you to handle this matter!" ”

The king of Fenyang replied in a low voice.

The king of Fenyang County has been in charge of the Zongren Mansion for nearly two years. In the past two years, the king of Fenyang has acted cautiously. Without waiting for Sheng Hong's instructions, he took the initiative to inquire. All take the will of the Son of Heaven first.

Sheng Hong also had some surprises.

On that day, he picked the king of Fenyang County, which was purely a general among the dwarves, which was quite lucky. I didn't expect it to be so lucky. The king of Fenyang County is really doing a good job. Now in the royal family, it is also quite influential.

If it is inconvenient for the Son of Heaven to say, the king of Fenyang can say it. What is inconvenient for the Son of Heaven to do, the king of Fenyang can let it go.

It is undoubtedly a big help for Shenghong.

Take the matter of the day as an example, even if the Empress Dowager Yu is not in every way, in the end it is Sheng Hong's mother-in-law. Sheng Hong led people to interrogate, and it was inevitable that he would end up with a reputation for unfilial piety. If you are the king of Fenyang County, you will not have to worry about this.

As a sect member of the Sect Mansion, it is justified to do this.

The death of Empress Dowager Yu is like pulling out the thorn in Sheng Hong's eye.

……

The king of Fenyang County was really neat, and on the second day, he went to quietly find a few pavilion elders who knelt in the palace.

Several old people are not young, kneeling for half a day, with sore backs and numb legs. The Son of Heaven was benevolent and specially decreed that all officials should kneel for two hours and rest for one hour.

This move has won the praise of all officials.

The king of Fenyang County came on purpose, obviously to discuss important matters.

Lu Ge Lao glanced at the officials who were resting together, and said in a low voice: "Fenyang County King wait for a while, let's find a quiet place to talk." ”

The king of Fenyang replied in a low voice.

After a stick of incense, several pavilion elders went to the secluded wing room and browsed the testimony of the envoy of Zhao Yuan one by one.

Even Zhao Gelao, who has the best temper, is also so angry that his eyes are red. If it weren't for the fact that Empress Dowager Yu had closed her eyes and returned to the West, the "old poisonous woman" and "old demon woman" would have scolded her.

Elder Lu Ge was also furious, and his hand holding the testimony trembled.

They were all important ministers promoted and appointed by Emperor Jianwen during his lifetime, and they all had a very deep affection for Emperor Jianwen. When Emperor Jianwen passed away, the ministers were sad, but they also had some suspicions in their hearts. It's just that no one opens their mouths to find it. Empress Dowager Yu, who is in the harem, carries the prestige of the Yu and Gu families, and no one dares to provoke easily.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Jianwen died under the quiet planning of Empress Dowager Yu.

This old poisonous woman, she is really cheap to die like this!
