Chapter 454: The Funeral (I)
At the entrance of Yuntai Palace, there is a white curtain hanging on the golden plaque, and in the Yuntai Palace at this time, some gorgeous furnishings and arrangements have already been removed, making the extraordinarily gorgeous palace in the past look a little sluggish.
The fifth prince, Mo Junhan, was dressed in moon-white clothes, and his thin body knelt in front of the dark red coffin, looking particularly cold.
Le Qi followed Mu Qingya and followed her to the gate of Yuntai Palace, still worried in her heart: "Miss, do you really want to go in?" The appearance of the five princes before, if there is a disturbance today, I am afraid it will embarrass you. "Miss doesn't know why today, she suddenly came over so early, I'm afraid that Mo Junhan is there in Yuntai Palace at this time, does Miss really want to help the fifth prince?
Mu Qingya smiled, moved her sleeves slightly, shook off the petals that inadvertently fell on the cuffs, and looked up at the hibiscus flower at the entrance of Yuntai Palace: "The dead are the greatest, and the five princes still understand such Taoist ideals." ”
"However, isn't there still a second prince among them...... "If it were at another time, although the fifth prince was young, I am afraid that he would have figured it out, but now that Mo Junwei is intervening, it is not necessarily, no matter how smart a person is, he can't afford to be instigated by others all the time, right?"
"Don't worry, it's just that the fifth prince is smarter, if he really makes trouble at such a time, I'm afraid that what awaits him is the emperor's complete disgust, and when the time comes, push him out of the palace and save him the opportunity to fight, which is not a good thing for him." Mu Qingya said and walked into Yuntai Palace.
Mo Junhan turned his head to see Mu Qingya, his hateful gaze instantly projected on her, the expression on his face was distorted, and he suddenly got up and said viciously, "What are you doing here?" ”
Mu Qingya glanced at him calmly, turned her head to look at the slightly simple mourning hall with a slight layout, and said, "Naturally, I came to see the imperial concubine Niangniang, the fifth prince's day mourning......"
Mo Junhan abruptly interrupted Mu Qingya's words: "My mother doesn't need you to come and see, she will be uneasy when she sees you, go out!" ”
Mu Qingya ignored Mo Junhan and walked to the front of the incense case and stood still.
Le Qi took a bouquet of incense from the eunuch on the side, lit it and handed it to Mu Qingya.
Mu Qingya just took the incense. Mo Junhan ran over suddenly, snatched the incense from Mu Qingya's hand, and was still on the ground after it was broken, ignoring even the burning of his fingers by the incense: "My mother doesn't need you to worship, get out!" ”
Mu Qingya's eyebrows frowned, and finally turned her head to look at Mo Junhan, with a stern look in her cold eyes: "Today is the funeral of the imperial concubine, I came early just to pay respects in advance, it is reasonable, as a prince and a son, you should not do this!" ”
Mo Junhan's face turned pale: "Why can't I do this?" You killed my mother......"
Mu Qingya's eyes flashed: "Five princes, you can't talk nonsense, the imperial concubine Niangniang was assassinated by the gangsters, and the entire Yuntai Palace, together with all the palace maids and eunuchs, has not escaped the persecution of the gangsters, Qingya thinks that she doesn't have the ability to do this, I don't want to hear this a second time, otherwise I will have to ask the emperor for a clean slate!" ”
Mo Junhan took two steps back, looking at Mu Qingya with a bit of a stunned look, as if he didn't know this woman who suddenly became noble and cold, as if he was holding back a fire in his heart, and he clearly wanted to shout out loud, but looking at Mu Qingya's frowning brows, he couldn't say anything, that feeling was like feeding him a stomach full of ice, and then roasting him on the fire when his whole person was cold and stiff, which was uncomfortable and heart-wrenching.
Mu Qingya's eyes were cold: "Fifth prince, the imperial concubine Niangniang was persecuted by gangsters during her lifetime, and she naturally wants to be quiet after her death, so it's better not to disturb her, what do you think?" ”
Mo Junhan's eyes flickered, bursts of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly remembered what the imperial brother had said to him yesterday, as long as today's matter is made bigger, his father will definitely punish Mu Qingya, and he is the prince who has just lost his mother, and it is also appropriate to be sad and do something inappropriate: "You are talking nonsense!" Mother, you left Han'er so early, and you won't have peace after death, you ...... Ah......h
"Smack!"
Mo Junhan covered his face in disbelief, looked up at Mu Qingya, and the hatred in his eyes was like thick black ink: "You hit me?" ”
Mu Qingya's eyes were as cold as ice: "If it weren't for your mother's last words, I wouldn't have done anything if you asked me to beat you!" ”
"You...... What did you say? What last words? ”
Mu Qingya ignored his question, and said, "As a prince, is this how the imperial concubine taught you?" She was also the first person in the harem before, so she didn't teach you how to behave in the world? ”
"Mother naturally taught, you ......"
"Since you have been taught, then you should fight even more, can't you tell who can believe and who can't? Do you really think that the imperial concubine has just died, and the emperor will not care about what rude things you do in her face? ”
Mo Junhan's pupils shrank, didn't he? Whatever the father says, he shouldn't care......
Seeing his expression, Mu Qingya guessed what he was thinking: "If it were someone else, the emperor might not care, but if you were replaced, it wouldn't be necessarily, the imperial concubine had made the emperor unhappy before, and she died because of the assassination of gangsters, do you still want the emperor to have any pity for you?" ”
Mo Junhan opened his eyes widely: "Impossible, you lie, I am the son of my father, he will not give me any affection!" ”
Mu Qingya mocked: "What you said is right, the emperor will give you some decency." ”
Mo Junhan's heart settled down a little.
"He will give you a noble name when you die, and then let you bury you in style, is this kind of posthumous honor you want?"
The joy in Mo Junhan's heart was directly extinguished before it had time to dissipate.
"You...... You are talking nonsense, my father will not do this to me. Although he was denying it, his tone was no longer as firm as he had just been. He actually knew in his heart that after his mother was grounded, he had become an embarrassing existence in the palace, with a capable imperial brother on top, and there was no chance for him to perform at all, just like this reception of Emperor Yuhan, he was not counted in it at all. He had long heard that his father intended to regard this reception as an assessment, that is, his father had not considered making him the heir at all.
"Will the emperor do this, if you want to come to the five princes, you don't need me to say it clearly, today I want to put incense on the imperial concubine, I want to come to the five princes have no opinion, right?" Mu Qingya asked coldly.
Mo Junhan opened his mouth but did not say the words of refusal, today's incident knocked out the only luck in his heart, and clearly revealed the fear in his heart.
Le Qi handed the newly lit incense to Mu Qingya, Mu Qingya stepped forward and inserted the incense into the incense ding, and said softly: "Imperial Concubine Niangniang, go all the way." ”
After the incense, Mu Qingya turned to look at Mo Junhan: "It's better for the fifth prince to let people clean up, after all, the emperor is going to come to the incense after a while." ”
Mo Junhan came back to his senses, only to notice that at this time, he was soaked in cold sweat all over his body, and the wind outside blew in and made him feel cold.
When Mo Junhan went down to clean up his appearance, Le Qi said unevenly: "Miss, why are you so impulsive today?" "In the past, Miss would never have done anything to slap a prince, but today's events are too unexpected.
Mu Qingya's eyes darkened slightly: "Maybe it's really impulsive." ”
Because it was still early and there was no one else in the mourning hall, Mu Qingya walked to the door of Yuntai Palace, looking at the place where the two peonies were originally stored, and her expression was slightly lonely.
Le Qi was resentful in her heart, blaming Xia Jingyan for saying a lot of things, that day she sent someone to invite Miss, Miss didn't give up after refusing, and even asked someone to send a letter again, although I don't know what was written on the letter, but think about it, it must be to let Miss take care of the five princes or something, hum, how can she be embarrassed to make any request, and she doesn't look at what she did before?
"Alright, let's go back. It's time for someone to come over. ”
As soon as Mu Qingya walked to the mourning hall, she saw Han Lingruo and Zhao Qinya walking together, and she was very surprised, she didn't expect these two people to meet together.
"The slave has seen Lord Mu."
"Miss Zhao is exempt."
After Mu Qingya and Han Lingruo saw each other, they looked at Zhao Qinya carefully, and they were slightly surprised in their hearts, compared to before, she seemed to be more and more haggard, and her face was smeared with a little heavy makeup, but she still couldn't hide the redness and swelling of her eye circles and her pale complexion.
"Miss Zhao seems to be a lot haggard."
She has been grounded these days, and it was not until today's imperial concubine's wedding that Zhao Duo released her, and it seemed that she really wanted to make a clear relationship with him, and she no longer had any control over her, which made her more and more panicked and unwilling in her heart. Thinking like this in his heart, he didn't dare to say it in his mouth, but only said: "I heard that the imperial concubine passed away suddenly, and the slave maid was sad, so I ...... it."
Mu Qingya smiled, and did not expose her careful thoughts: "Miss Zhao mourns." ”
"Yes, thank you, Lord Shire."
Han Lingruo snorted coldly, looking at Zhao Qinya's eyes full of disdain: "This person is despicable, and he can't do anything." ”
Zhao Qinya's face became more and more pale, Han Lingruo smiled proudly, straightened the silver hairpin pinned between her hair with her fingers, and walked into the Yuntai Palace Spirit Hall with the corners of her lips raised.
Half an hour later, the people who came to mourn were basically all there, Mo Junhan also changed his clothes and knelt in front of Xia Jingyan's coffin again, and when he came out again, he had a few more gloomy breaths, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in shadows, which looked extremely depressed, but it made people feel extremely worried.
"The emperor has arrived, and His Majesty the Emperor Yuhan has arrived."
