A day later.

The news of the suicide of the county lord of Yongning reached Xie Mingxi's ears.

The one who came to deliver the letter was the royal forest guard who was in charge of guarding the Tzu Yun Nunnery. As the Seventh Imperial Princess, Xie Mingxi did not need to meet the person who sent the letter in person.

Xiang Hui went on her behalf, asked carefully and understood, and then entered the inner room and reported them one by one.

"I heard that it was Yaobi next to the county lord of Yongning, and I heard the two mothers-in-law in the kitchen talk about the whole story of the death of the Huainan Palace, and after I went back, I told the county lord of Yongning about it."

"The county lord of Yongning fainted at that time. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he stabbed his heart with sharp scissors. When Yaobi got up the next day, she found that the county lord of Yongning had committed suicide. ”

"This Yaobi is also loyal. As soon as the master died, she also committed suicide with her. I still use the same sharp scissors. ”

"The master and servant were dead for a long time, and the smell of blood came out of the courtyard before it was noticed. The people in Ciyun Nunnery didn't dare to disturb the queen mother because of this little thing. He ordered a letter to be sent to the Fulin Palace. The Seven Princesses are also invited to call the shots. ”

The county lord of Yongning was Xie Mingxi's mother-in-law, and because of Xie Mingxi, she was imprisoned in Ciyun Nunnery.

Now that the county lord of Yongning has committed suicide, the people in Ciyun Nunnery naturally think of the Seven Imperial Princesses.

After Xiang Hui finished reporting, he waited for the order.

Xie Mingxi's expression was faint, and he couldn't see any emotion: "It's buried according to the convention." ”

Xiang Hui whispered, and when she withdrew, she couldn't help but glance at Xie Mingxi.

It's a pity that Xie Mingxi's expression was as usual, and he couldn't see the pleasure of the enemy bowing down at all.

……

For Xie Mingxi, the moment the county lord of Yongning advanced to Ciyun Nunnery more than three years ago, he was no different from a dead man.

The county lord of Yongning has been holding on to hardship, wanting to wait for her father and brother to think of a son to rescue her from Ciyun Nunnery. Now that the King of Huainan is dead, the Lord of Yongning is completely hopeless.

With the pride of the county lord of Yongning, how can he continue to be a living dead in Ciyun Nunnery. I simply ended up with myself.

From Yu Fuyu to Yu, they are all maids of the Xie family, and they have all seen the majesty of the Yongning County Lord in the Xie family in the past. Hearing the news that the county lord of Yongning committed suicide, the two maids were quite happy. I couldn't help but talk a little more in front of my master.

"Miss, such good news, should I send a letter back to Xie Mansion?"

"Yes! Let the master also be happy. ”

Xie Mingxi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "It's okay." Fuyu, you take the pair of cards and go out of the palace to Xie Mansion. ”

Fuyu led the order to retreat.

That night, after Xie Shilang of the Ministry of Rites returned home, he learned the news that the county lord of Yongning had committed suicide.

Today's Xie Jun is the father-in-law of the Seventh Prince, and he is a serious waiter of the Sanpin Rite Department. The career is proud, smooth sailing, smooth and smooth. I have almost forgotten that there is such a person as the county lord of Yongning.

Hearing the news of the death of the county lord of Yongning, Xie Jun only snorted lightly: "It's okay to be dead." "The two are fake couples, they have never shared a bed, and they have no affection.

The old grievances, now no one wants to mention them.

Old lady Xie also said: "The Huainan Palace's mansion is full of deaths, and the county lord of Yongning has no hope of being alive, and he is quiet when he dies." ”

Xu glanced at the father and son, who were also cold and ruthless, and secretly rolled his eyes.

However, she didn't have much sympathy and pity for the county lord of Yongning.

After silently slandering Xie Jun for being ruthless and unjust, Xu said with a smile: "The Seventh Imperial Concubine specially sent Fuyu back to the house to deliver a letter, which shows that she is careful. It's a pity that the Seven Princesses have been living in the palace, if they were in the Prince's Mansion, I would have been able to come to the door and ask carefully. ”

Xie Jun waved his hand slightly: "Dead are dead, what else is there to ask?" Mother doesn't have to ask anymore. When I saw Ming Niang in the future, she took the initiative to say it, if she didn't mention it, her mother wouldn't talk about it. ”

Xu Shi hurriedly smiled and responded: "Yes, yes, Ming Niang doesn't want to say it, I will never talk much." ”

The attitude of the family is very good.

The Xie family relied on Xie Mingxi, the seventh princess, to have today's situation. Therefore, Xie Mingxi's mind is the first thing everywhere.

……

The death of the county lord of Yongning was like a leaf falling on the water, and not even a splash was made. It didn't attract anyone's attention.

This news did not reach the ears of Empress Yu at all.

After the three princes reconciled with Princess Changping, they were also extremely diligent in running the Jiaofang Palace every day. The death of Concubine Shu does not seem to have affected the respect and love of the third prince for his mother-in-law......

In order to ascend the throne as soon as possible, the three princes bowed their heads to Queen Yu's mother and daughter.

This forbearance is a little impressive.

Princess Changping stayed by Gu Qing's side all day long, and she had no time to enter the palace. It was Shu Jin, the head of the small county, who entered the palace once.

Twelve-year-old Gu Shujin is radiant and bright. Seeing Empress Yu, Gu Shujin said in a low voice: "Imperial grandmother, my father is lying on the bed and can't move, my mother refuses to take half a step, she hasn't entered the palace for a few days, and I ask the imperial grandmother not to be surprised." ”

Empress Yu sighed lightly: "Let your mother accompany the horse well, and you don't have to worry about the palace." ”

Princess Changping and Gu Qing have a deep relationship between husband and wife, and now Gu Qing is bedridden, and Princess Changping should accompany her.

As for Empress Yu herself, no one knows about waking up from a nightmare every night. Even Princess Changping was hidden.

Some pains are destined to be borne by oneself.

is like a mother and daughter, and she can't tell it.

Gu Shujin thought for a while and asked in a low voice, "Grandmother Huang, is the third uncle going to ascend the throne soon?" ”

Empress Yu nodded slightly: "The country cannot be without a king for a day." ”

It has been half a month since Emperor Jianwen was buried, and it should be the time for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

The Ministry of Rites has chosen an auspicious day to hold the enthronement ceremony five days later.

The three princes have been bowing their heads these days, obviously because they are afraid that there will be some chaos in the enthronement ceremony.

Emperor Jianwen can suppress all his sons, and he, the crown prince, is obviously not able to suppress all his brothers. can only rely on the power of Empress Yu.

Gu Shujin grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she also got a glimpse of the mystery. I wanted to say something, but I put up with it.

Gu Shujin's thoughts were like a blank sheet of paper in front of Queen Yu.

Empress Yu's eyes flashed, and she smiled faintly: "Jin'er don't worry. With the emperor's grandmother here, your third uncle doesn't dare to have any thoughts. It will definitely be good for your mother and daughter. ”

Gu Shujin nodded, and quickly said, "Imperial grandmother, I'll go to the Fulin Palace to see the seventh uncle." My aunt and grandmother have been living in the house for the past few days, but I don't miss my seventh aunt and Sister Aluo. I entered the palace today, just to go to the Fulin Palace on behalf of my aunt and grandmother. ”

The aunt and grandmother in Gu Shujin's mouth are none other than Gu Shanchang.

After Gu Qing was injured, the Gu family was anxious and took turns to visit. Gu Shanchang felt sorry for his nephew, and he couldn't care about the past grievances, so he lived directly in Princess Changping's mansion. Take care of Gu Qing with Princess Changping.

Because of Gu Shanchang, Gu Shujin and Xie Mingxi, the seventh aunt, are also more close.

Empress Yu smiled slightly when she heard this, and nodded.
