The emperor died, and the whole country died together.

In the Forbidden City, there was a mourning, everyone wore linen and filial piety, kneeling in front of the emperor's coffin, and the cry was earth-shattering.

But under such a sad voice, there are a few people who are sincere and sad from the heart.

After the funeral of the emperor, the situation in the palace became more and more unstable, and all snobbery was ready to move.

Su Su, who had no heirs and no title, saw that she was pitiful, allowed her to attend the emperor's funeral, and chose a place for her to live in the harem. It's also a pitiful person, in order to save the people, a sixteen-year-old girl in the flower season, endured humiliation and secretly survived, and succumbed to the emperor, a man who was almost forty years older than her.

Who knew that this little woman, in such a short period of time, had true feelings for this old man. After the emperor's funeral was completed, she returned to her residence and went to Huangquan with the emperor.

"Master, Miss Susu went with the emperor." The palace maid who was waiting for Su Su came to Kunning Palace to report, and Yuhe learned the news and went into the house to inform Orange Creek.

After hearing this, Orange Creek was a little shocked, she put down the fold in her hand, such a strong woman, it's a pity, I don't know if it's really loveless, or if I really want to go on the road with the emperor, the deceased has passed away, and these are no longer important. "Pass on the decree of the palace, posthumously seal her as a concubine, and bury her with the gift of a concubine."

"Let the palace in, don't think that the emperor is gone, your master can cover the sky with one hand, the emperor is gone, the emperor's son is still there!" Concubine Xiang took Hongtai and broke into Kunning Palace. It's just because Orange Creek intercepted today's twists and turns from Hongtai's hands.

"Who's yelling outside?"

"Listening to this tone, it seems to be Xiang Guifei." Yuhe listened carefully and returned to Orange Creek.

"Bengong hasn't had time to look for her, she actually sent it to the door, go, let her in, Bengong wants to see, what kind of demon is she going to be?"

Yuhe should go out of the door, "Xiang Guifei! It's been early in the morning, and it seems that you're in good spirits! The queen mother has been woken up by you, please come in! The queen is invited. ”

"What a sharp-toothed girl, you can walk around the palace and see." Xiang Guifei threw a sentence to Yuhe, passed by her, and entered the house with a menacing attitude.

"The concubine asks the queen to say goodbye!"

"Concubine Xiang! Have a seat! ”

"Queen Mother, we don't say secret words, before the emperor, the affairs of the court and government will be handed over to Hongtai to take care of, today you intercepted the folds, what do you mean?" Xiang Guifei was already impatient, and she didn't want to say any polite words, so she went straight to the topic.

"Haha, the new emperor has not yet been established, this palace is now the master of the Forbidden City, this palace wants to care about the affairs of the world for the emperor, I don't know why not?"

"You...... Well, you should take down the edict after the Taihe Palace, read the emperor's will early, establish the new emperor, and ensure the stability of the Qing Dynasty, so as not to cause unnecessary troubles. ”

"The emperor's last seven haven't passed yet, are you in such a hurry Concubine Xiang?"

"Concubine, this is also for the sake of the people of the world! Establish a new monarch early, so as not to have many dreams at night. ”

"Then what if Hongu wants to say no?"

"You...... What does the queen mean, do you want to emulate Wu Meiniang? Xiang Guifei stood up angrily and asked Orange Creek loudly.

"Haha! If you don't say it, Bengong really didn't expect it, and when you reminded me like this, Bengong really thought about it. ”

"You are blatant......"

"Yes, this palace is acting blatantly, unlike some people, who actually killed their own sons, poisoned the concubines of the former queen, and even wanted to send the emperor's woman to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, so that the emperor died with hatred, you said such a person, how should the palace deal with her?" Orange Creek walked up to Xiang Guifei and said to her in a rhetorical manner.

Xiang Guifei didn't expect that what she said before the emperor went to bed, how could Orange Creek know, she was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her speech was a little trembling, "It's still ...... There is such a bad ...... Wicked people? The concubine was unwell, so she retired first and ...... another day Come and visit the queen another day. ”

After Xiang Guifei finished speaking, she snatched the door and left. Hongtai gave a farewell salute to Orange Creek and ran out with him.

"E-niang, who is the person that the emperor said about it?" Hongtai was a little puzzled, Xiang Guifei said that she was coming to seek justice for him, but this was only halfway through, why did she leave in a hurry?

"Who does she care? You handle the government well, just wait to sit in the position of your emperor. Xiang Guifei looked serious and said to Hongtai impatiently.

"But Eniang, Huang Ama is gone, after all, Huang Eniang is the most powerful in this Forbidden City, you just did that, you committed the following crimes. Fortunately, the emperor is generous and does not blame you. ”

Concubine Xiang stopped and looked at Hongtai with angry eyes, "Are you my own son?" Do you eat inside and outside like this? No matter how big her power Tong Jia Yingying is, can she change the dynasty? Do you think that the Manchu Dynasty was a vegetarian in both civil and military affairs? ”

"The son knows that his qualifications are mediocre, and he is not capable of managing Huang Ama's country, and only the fourth brother can afford this heavy responsibility."

"You...... If you dare to say such things in the future, E-Niang will be angry with me without your son, this emperor's throne must be yours, you have to ask for it, you have to ask for it, you have to ask for it. Xiang Guifei said every word categorically, murderous.

Seeing that Xiang Guifei was angry, Hongtai stopped making a sound, after all, it was his own mother, no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't be disobedient and unfilial! He had already rebelled once in order to chirp the enthalpy before, and he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, after all, Xiang Guifei was also old, and a few strands of gray hair had been added to her temples, which made Hongtai look very sad.

Heber's soldiers have been stationed outside the city, maybe everyone is afraid of him, after the emperor died, the palace was quite peaceful, and everything was taken care of by Orange Creek.

After Concubine Xiang left that day, many ministers came to ask for a meeting, all for the sake of establishing a new emperor, these ministers are also loyal, and the emperor can still stand up for the sake of the Qing Dynasty desperately. Under pressure, Orange Creek promised the ministers in front of the hundred officials that the emperor's edict would be read out after the emperor's last seven days.

"Yu Lan, tomorrow is the seventh day of the emperor's last day, read the emperor's edict, the palace hopes that every heir of the emperor is present, how is Hongli's body recovering?" Yu Lan came to see Orange Creek and specially brought the gift that Hongli asked her to bring to Orange Creek.

"I don't know why, the prince's illness has dragged on for so long, and there is no sign of improvement so far, the prince is also specially for this matter today, let the sons come over to apologize to the emperor's mother, and announce the edict tomorrow, the prince is afraid that he will not be able to participate." Yu Lan's worries were written on her face.

"That's it! Then let him recuperate! The affairs of the court are in the main palace! I'll pick up some better supplements for him to bring back later. Orange Creek didn't see any worry on her face, but she looked a little proud.

At this time, Yixiu and Yuhe came in from outside, and Yu Lan saw Yixiu coming, and asked Chengxi with concern, "Huang Eniang, are you sick?" ”

"Nope!"

"The doctor is ...... to rest"

"It's because the queen mother ......" the doctor was about to explain the reason for coming here, when Orange Creek coughed lightly twice and robbed the doctor of the word.

"I haven't been sleeping well at night lately, so I'm calling the doctor to ask for a safe pulse, there's nothing bad about it, Yu Lan, you better go back early to take care of Hongli, you don't have to worry about me here." Orange Creek said with a relaxed face, so that people couldn't see that she was covering up.

Yu Lan went out of the door, and when she left, she glanced at the doctor, who avoided her eyes weakly.

Although Yu Lan saw the abnormality of the medical leave, because Orange Creek had already let her go, she couldn't go back and get to the bottom of it. Stop for a moment and continue walking outside.

"Master, isn't Yu Fujin his own person? Does the master even want to hide it from her? Seeing Yu Lan walking away, Yuhe bowed his head and whispered to Orange Creek.

"This palace is not hiding from her, it is not that she wants to embarrass her in front of Hongli, after all, she is the blessing of Hongli, if she knows, she will not say that she is unfaithful to her husband, say it! and unjust to the palace, so it's better not to let her know at all. Orange Creek carefully explained to Yuhe that he didn't want Yuhe to be too careful!

Yixiu smiled and shook his head, put down the medicine box in his hand and went to check Orange Creek's pulse.

After the medical break was finished, Orange Creek confidently asked the medical holiday, "Is everything okay?" ”

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, everything is fine!" The doctor returned with a smile.

Yu Lan returned to the house where Hongli was recuperating, and when Hongli saw her enter the house, he couldn't wait to ask her, "Yu Lan, how is it, has the emperor allowed it?" ”

"Don't worry! The emperor's mother agreed, so that you can recuperate with peace of mind. Yu Lan grabbed Hongli's hand, patted it twice, and comforted Hongli with a smile.

When Hongli heard this, his face changed, what he was most afraid of was hearing such a reply, presumably in the edict to be read tomorrow, it must not be his name, otherwise Orange Creek would never agree to his absence.

Hongli gave Sakura Rou, who had just entered the palace, a look, and Sakura Rou stepped forward and drove Yu Lan out of the door, "Sister, you go back and rest first!" Lord Wang, here I am! Tomorrow is a big day, you have to rest, the emperor will definitely need your help, go quickly! ”

Yu Lan was still a little reluctant, and reluctantly looked at Hongli lying on the bed, Hongli nodded to her slightly, and she reluctantly exited the door. Sakura quickly closed the door and walked to Hongli's bed.

Hongli is also strange, just now he was still sick, as soon as this Yu Lan went out, he suddenly came to his senses and sat up from the bed. But the expression is not very good-looking, and he has a sad face.

"As I expected, the emperor didn't plan to help me take the throne at all, and now I can only stay sick, she has General Heber as a backer, General Heber has a heavy army, we still have to think long-term, tomorrow's edict ceremony is afraid of being turbulent!" Hongli sat on the edge of the bed, grasping the edge of the bed tightly with both hands, seeing that the throne that should belong to him was about to fall into the hands of others, and his heart was like a thousand ants.

"Don't be afraid, the concubine still has a trump card in her hand, and look at what the situation is tomorrow, this emperor's throne, only the prince can sit, and the concubine will do everything to help the prince." Sakura's eyes were weirdly frightening, she rested her head on Hongli's shoulder, and enjoyed this rare two-person world with Hongli.
