Zhilan's death set off a monstrous wave in the Fulin Palace.

That night, no one noticed that Zhilan had hanged herself. Until the early morning of the next day, the little palace maid knocked on the door for a long time and no one answered, so she panicked and called a few palace maids to push the door together.

After pushing the door open, all the palace maids were frightened and screamed.

On the beam, a white silk hangs down.

Zhilan hung there quietly, her face was dead and blue, and her body was stiff.

Yu Qiao, who had been on duty all night, endured her sleepiness and got up, not daring to wake up Empress Dowager Yu, and walked out of the bedroom lightly. A palace maid stumbled over and almost hit Yu Qiao.

Yu Qiao glared unhappily: "What's wrong?" ”

The palace maid cried and said, "Sister Zhilan hanged herself." ”

Yu Qiao's eyes darkened, and she grabbed the palace maid's arm tightly, and her voice was unconsciously sharp and high-pitched: "What did you say?" How could Zhilan take her own life and seek death? ”

The palace maid cried: "How dare I talk nonsense about such a big thing." Sister Zhilan is out of breath, and several of them are working together to remove Sister Zhilan's body. I'm in a hurry to deliver the letter...... What now? ”

What to do?

Yu Qiao's mind was blank, and Zhilan Xiuya's gentle face kept shaking in front of her, and her whole body trembled. Tears have already flowed from her face.

Zhilan, you're so stupid! Why did it just go!

Yu Qiao couldn't help crying. The cry came into the bedroom, waking up the Empress Dowager Yu.

Empress Dowager Yu opened her eyes and scolded angrily: "Yu Qiao, what are you making a fuss for? ”

Yu Qiao wiped her tears with her sleeve. She had no intention of tidying up her appearance, so she entered the bedroom and knelt down on the edge of the bed: "Empress Dowager Qi, Zhilan has gone." ”

Empress Dowager Yu had just woken up, her mind was a little confused, and she didn't understand what was going on for a while, so she said angrily: "Where did you go?" Go to Xuan Zhilan immediately to serve. ”

With so many palace maids around her, Zhilan is the most careful and calm, and she is also thoughtful and careful. Empress Dowager Yu can't leave Zhilan at all.

Yuqiao's nose was sour, and tears came out of her eyes again: "Queen Mother, Zhilan hanged herself last night, and her body was already cold." I can no longer serve the Queen Mother. ”

Empress Dowager Yu: "......"

All of Empress Dowager Yu's expressions froze.

Silent for a long time.

In the bedroom, there was only the sound of Yuqiao crying intermittently.

……

As the queen, Xie Mingxi also received a message from the Fulin Palace at this time.

Hearing the bad news, Xie Mingxi was also a little shocked.

Zhilan is the daughter of a criminal official, and was sent to the palace as a palace maid at a young age. However, Zhilan has never been arrogant and domineering, treats people peacefully, and has a good reputation in the palace.

Xie Mingxi doesn't have a bad impression of Zhilan either.

Unexpectedly, Zhilan died suddenly.

Xie Mingxi couldn't help but ask: "How could Zhilan suddenly commit suicide?" ”

The palace maid who came to deliver the letter replied with red eyes: "The slave maid does not dare to speculate. However, yesterday Zhilan said the wrong thing and was punished by the Queen Mother for kneeling for an afternoon. After that, he entered the house and never came out, and hanged himself in the middle of the night. ”

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold.

Yesterday's kneeling punishment was just an introduction. What really made Zhilan lose her ambition was the misery and suffering day after day, and the pain of having no hope and no future.

If people have no heart and hope, they will have no courage and motivation to live.

Xie Mingxi sighed secretly and stood up: "This palace will go to Fulin Palace." ”

Even ordinary palace maids who seek death and commit suicide have to be ordered by the queen before they can be buried. What's more, Zhilan is the highest-ranking female official in the palace, and she is the confidant of Empress Dowager Yu who relies on her right-hand man.

Xie Mingxi went to Fulin Palace in person, which is also reasonable.

……

After a cup of tea, Xie Mingxi stepped into the Fulin Palace.

In the Fulin Palace, there was already chaos at this time.

Empress Dowager Yu was sick and weak and could not stay. Whether it's anger or anger, no one knows. Most of the palace maids in the Fulin Palace went to Zhilan's house.

Zhilan's body had been removed and lay flat on the ground.

Those who hang themselves to seek death will inevitably open their mouths, and the appearance of death is a little hideous. The gentle and beautiful Zhilan was no exception, her face was stiff and hideous.

The palace maids were frightened and did not dare to take a closer look. Each covered his face and sobbed.

Zhilan is quite popular, and everyone in the Fulin Palace likes to be close to Zhilan. As soon as Zhilan died, everyone was sad, and then they thought that they were still hopeless in the Fulin Palace, and they didn't know when they would be dragged into the abyss of no return by the Empress Dowager Yu, and they were even more sad.

When Xie Mingxi stepped in, the palace maids wept endlessly, and they forgot to salute.

Xiang Hui frowned, and was about to open her mouth to remind.

Xie Mingxi's voice had already sounded: "The dead are gone, and it is useless for you to cry again." Stand down, do what you have to do, and do what you want to do. ”

The palace maids resignedly agreed, each glanced at Zhilan, who was in a terrible death, and retreated silently.

As a slave and maid, her life is as humble as a mustard.

When he was alive, he was still a little decent, but after he died, according to the practice in the palace, it was just a thin coffin, and he could choose a place to be buried at will.

……

Xie Mingxi gave Zhilan a coffin. After that, Xianghui was ordered to go to the Qingdian Palace and sent a message to Gonggong Wei.

After Gonggong Wei received the message, he was silent for a moment and sighed.

Xiang Hui said in a low voice: "The queen has an order, and this matter will be handed over to you." It's all for the sake of your face, and it will be an exception. You have to thank your mother for her kindness. ”

Father-in-law Wei cheered up and said, "I'm not such an ungrateful villain. After I finish dealing with this matter, I will return to the palace to report to the queen. ”

Xiang Hui nodded.

Zhilan and her are hostile, and they don't have much contact with each other on weekdays. is also a slave, Zhilan's death made Xianghui sigh in her heart, and she was even more grateful to her master.

After Zhilan's coffin was transported out of the palace gate, it was not buried immediately.

Father-in-law Wei transported Zhilan's coffin to a secluded small mansion.

After Gonggong Lu left the palace, he lived in this courtyard. There are two servants waiting every day, and there is no need for food and clothing, but Grandpa Lu is still rapidly aging and decaying.

After this year, Grandpa Lu fell ill. I drank the medicine intermittently for several months, and it didn't get better. The doctor who came to see the doctor said privately that he had to prepare for the future.

Gonggong Lu also knew in his heart that his days were short. The last time Father-in-law Wei came to visit, he said half-jokingly: "After I die, you quietly let people bury me, don't let Zhilan know." ”

Unexpectedly, he was still struggling to catch his breath, but Zhilan took the first step.

Gonggong Wei ordered someone to open the coffin, so that Gonggong Lu could see Zhilan for the last time: "Father-in-law, take a look at Zhilan!" ”

Grandpa Lu leaned down tremblingly, touched Zhilan's stiff and cold face, and muddy tears rolled in his eyes and soon fell.
