Chapter 108: Havoc in the Mourning Hall
Everyone arrived, except for the concubine.
Worried about Concubine Liang's body, and the weather is getting colder again, the Queen Mother and the Emperor are all tightly attached to her, and they don't dare to let her touch the ground more, and they specially went to get a wool felt to put on Concubine Liang's body.
Nan Xuanjin pulled Concubine De and said for a long time, but it was as if a stone had sunk into the sea. Concubine De won't respond to him anymore, even if she winks at him again.
Nan Xuanjin was no longer as persistent as yesterday, he put Concubine De's hand away, silently walked to the brazier and knelt down, picked up the paper money on the side and gently put it into the fire one by one.
"The mother concubine is really ruthless, leaving her son alone." Nan Xuanjin's voice was hoarse, but he still kept saying: "Despite this, even if my mother and son are separated by yin and yang, the mother concubine must take good care of herself." If the money is not enough, remember to tell Erchen that Erchen is burning some for you. Nan Xuanjin said softly.
It is not yet the auspicious time to close the coffin, so everyone just stands aside and waits for the coffin to be closed, and then they go up one by one to offer incense.
The queen stood far away from the coffin, although she had to take care of this mourning hall as the queen, but after all, Nan Xuanjin really didn't have a good face for her, and she didn't bother to stand so forward.
She stood behind and looked at everyone's expressions, but unexpectedly found that the concubine had not yet arrived in the Yongde Palace, she felt laughing in her heart, the concubine who was a good sister did not appear in the mourning hall of Concubine De now.
She smiled mockingly, thinking that the concubine was just too weak to come. After all, Concubine Liang's child fell, and it was not her own hand, and the concubine would do it in this harem. However, she had to say that the concubine's trick of borrowing a knife to kill people also made her admire.
Even her best sisters didn't let go, and in terms of scheming, the queen herself was a little willing to bow down.
The auspicious time is almost there, the lid of the coffin has been closed, and now wait for the auspicious time to nail the coffin shut.
It didn't take long for the auspicious time to arrive, the concubine had not yet appeared in the Yongde Palace, and everyone didn't say anything, at most they just sighed secretly in their hearts.
Since Concubine De is just a concubine in the harem, even a grand funeral can only be presided over by the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. As soon as the auspicious time arrived, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites standing on the side sang loudly: "The auspicious time has arrived!" Seal the coffin! ”
The coffin had already been closed, and I saw four big men next to the coffin holding peach wood nails to nail them to Concubine De's coffin.
Suddenly, a mutation suddenly appeared. The concubine appeared in Yongde Palace at some point, and shouted: "Stop! ”
Everyone looked at the concubine, and the concubine rushed into the Yongde Palace, and pulled at the white yarn hanging down on the eaves.
Everyone immediately froze in place. The concubine's move clearly didn't want Concubine De to rest in peace, and the four big men were also shouted by the concubine and stopped what they were doing.
Nan Xuanjin didn't say anything, he didn't even stop it, he just watched the concubine's every move coldly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The queen was even more stunned, isn't this concubine crazy? Disrupting the mourning hall? She is a noble concubine, her good sister has passed away, she is not good to guard her spirit, but she still has to run to disturb the mourning hall?
As the queen, she naturally can't ignore it, and before the emperor could speak, she stood up and shouted: "Concubine! What are you doing here? Why don't you stop yet? ”
"I don't know what you're doing! How could An Ge die! An Ge was still talking to me alive yesterday, why did he die? Why are you in such a hurry to bury An Ge, it's you, it's you who killed An Ge! The concubine's mind was a little unconscious, and she was about to rush over and grab the queen's neck with red eyes.
None of the people around stopped the concubine.
She rushed straight over, her hands tightly pinching the queen's neck, her slender nails cutting through the queen's neck, and scarlet blood flowed out.
The queen was a little out of breath, she didn't expect the concubine to suddenly come to such a hand.
Everyone was frightened by this sudden move, especially Concubine De's mother's family, who didn't expect that the always gentle and virtuous concubine would actually strangle the queen in public.
The first to react was the emperor, seeing that the queen was about to be strangled to death by the concubine, he hurriedly went over and ripped the concubine away. The queen was able to breathe, and the big gulp of breath made her cough.
"Ahem...... Wang Peilan! What are you doing! Do you want to kill Hongu along with you? The queen looked at the concubine resentfully, and said while coughing.
"You wicked woman! You drugged An Ge! Ange is still saved, you let me go! Go and open the coffin! Ange is alive! The concubine's eyes were bloodshot, and people couldn't help but feel a little scared when they looked at it.
"Ange is dead! What are you crazy about here? Or do you want to give Ange peace anymore? The queen relented, covered her neck with a silk handkerchief, and said.
"Your Majesty...... Please, open the coffin! Ange really didn't die! The concubine ignored the queen, knelt down directly at the emperor, and pleaded.
Although the emperor doesn't know why the concubine is doing this, it is indeed not a trivial matter to come to the mourning hall to make a big fuss, and the concubine is also a person above ten thousand people under one person in the harem, and she will not talk nonsense in other people's mourning halls if she wants to make a judgment.
Coupled with what the concubine said before, he became even more suspicious of the queen. After all, the person who proposed to bury An Ge was the queen, if An Ge was really saved, but because he left the hall ahead of schedule, Concubine De lost her life, I am afraid that everyone here is a murderer.
"Open." The emperor said sullenly, obviously listening to the concubine's words.
Concubine De's mother listened to the words of the concubine, and looked at the queen's eyes and suddenly became unkind. Although they have always been on the opposite side of the queen, but now that Concubine De is dead, the pillar of their family in the harem has fallen, and if it is done by the queen, it is bound to not let go of the family behind Concubine De.
So they won't stop the museum from opening, but they really have a bit of a heart to get to the bottom of it, it doesn't matter if they die with a daughter, what matters is how their family can continue to maintain its current status for a long time.
"Your Majesty! I can't open the museum! The queen shouted, "If you miss the auspicious time now, it will be a big deal!" ”
The queen is already an important suspect, and now she doesn't let people open the museum, but she really has confirmed this crime. Everyone is not stupid, and they all feel that there is a bit of a cat in it.
The emperor ignored what the queen said, and asked the four big men to lift the lid of the coffin, wanting the imperial doctor to take a good look at whether An Ge was still saved, or if he found something else on An Ge's body.
Who knew that as soon as the coffin was opened, everyone saw an unbelievable scene.
