Three hundred and fifty-eight old people
Coming out of the Qingning Palace, Gao Jieyu always felt that her whole body was infected with the smell of the Qingning Palace. Bayi ā Middle School ā Text Network ćā .ć8 1āzāā .ćC o M burns paper money, lights incense, the smell of smoke and fire, because the weather is not hot enough, Concubine Jin also used a lot of ice and spices in the Qingning Palace, so the hall is much colder than the outside, although the strong smell is said to be fragrant, but it makes people choke uncomfortably.
It's a kind of coldness that seeps into the cracks of human bones.
As soon as Gao Jieyu came out, she took several deep breaths, and then exhaled vigorously, as if she could exhale the smoke and strange aroma that filled her nose and throat.
The people of the inner palace supervisor will cut corners again, and they don't dare to go too far in this kind of funeral event, those spices should be good spices, but when she thought that these spices were for the preservation of the corpse, Gao Jieyu felt that every breath she inhaled was the breath of the corpse.
A few times ago, she came back to Qingning Palace, and she was not so uncomfortable.
Gao Jieyu and Concubine Jin have no friendship, the two are not speculative, Gao Jieyu has a bad temper, and Concubine Jin is not a generous and cheerful person.
But after all, it's an acquaintance.
Old acquaintances from the past are passing away one after another. Gao Jieyu didn't know who was next. Thinking that the people she knew would one day be completely absent from this world, and she was the only one still living alone with the memories of the past, Gao Jieyu shuddered.
Today, when Concubine Jin died, she came to mourn, who will come to the spirit to pay tribute to himself in front of him?
Danxia asked with some concern: "Is the master uncomfortable?" ā
Gao Jieyu's face was pale, of course, no one would apply grease and powder on her face on such days, so she could see at a glance whether her face was good or bad.
"It's fine."
Gao Jieyu glanced back at Qingning Palace. The plaque on the door of the temple was shrouded in a faint layer of green smoke.
She really didn't want to come back to this place.
After the concubines in the palace died, not all of them were qualified to stop in the Qingning Palace, like those low-grade talents in the back garden who did not have their own palaces, and if they died, they would be transported out and buried on the same day.
Gao Jieyu thought, whether she liked it or not, she should come to this place in the future.
It would be a long time for her to be finished, and it would have to be until she was lying in it and being honored by others.
Thinking about it like this, Gao Jieyu couldn't help but turn her head again.
This time, she felt that the black hole door of the Qingning Hall was like it was going to suck her in, and she held Danxia's hand and walked a few steps, as if in this way she could escape the unknown bad luck and the death that would come at an unknown time.
"Master, shall we go back? Have a good rest, most of the day is enough to suffer. ā
Gao Jieyu nodded: "Go back." Ask people to prepare hot water, I need to wash it well. ā
She wanted to wash the smell off quickly.
Danxia helped Gao Jieyu to get on the chariot, and the two eunuchs lifted the chariot and walked forward steadily.
The wind was tighter than just now, and Gao Jieyu raised her hand to cover her sideburns, thinking that it might be windy for the past few days. The wind is very strong in the spring and autumn days in the capital, and when you come back tomorrow, wear a hooded cloak. Otherwise, it would be so cold in the Qingning Palace, and she would blow the wind back and forth, just afraid that she would be sick before Concubine Jin's funeral was finished.
Gao Jieyu looked up and saw someone passing in front of her.
"Who is it?"
Danxia said: "It looks like Princess Yuyao." ā
"She's ...... Did Shoukang Palace go? ā
Danxia couldn't be sure, so she only said: "It's also the way to go back to Yong'an Palace." ā
Gao Jieyu paused slightly on the step: "Follow slowly, take a look." ā
The eunuch who was walking in obedience turned in a different direction.
Princess Yuyao did go to Shoukang Palace, and Gao Jieyu and they saw Princess Yuyao leading people into the palace gate of Shoukang Palace.
Princess Yuyao of Shoukang Palace has been here once or twice, and the people here always seem to be extremely frightened and cowering.
The Shoukang Palace in front of her was even more desolate and desolate than she remembered, and the fallen leaves on the ground and some bits and pieces of people who had been cleaned were missing. Princess Yuyao didn't know that most of the people in Shoukang Palace had been detained, and thought that it was because Concubine Jin was gone, and they couldn't even do their jobs well.
Princess Yuyao didn't actually come here, but when she walked around here, she thought of Princess Yuyao.
I was not familiar with this sister Princess Yuyao at all, and the two didn't even say anything. Yu Jue is too young and sick, and Concubine Jin has always protected her calves and prevented people from getting close to her daughter.
Princess Yuyao didn't admit that she was actually jealous of this sister.
Because her mother, Concubine Shu, is long gone, but Yujun is still with her mother.
But now Yuyue has also become a motherless child, and she is about the same age as Princess Yuyao when she lost her mother.
Gan Xiyun persuaded her softly: "If the concubine Niangniang knew that the princess was coming, she would definitely be worried." ā
According to what people often say, there are people who have just lost their breath, this place is not clean, and adults should come less, not to mention that Princess Yuyao is not too old.
"I'm not going to the place where I want to be." Princess Yuyao casually asked a eunuch kneeling at the base of the wall in front of her: "Does Princess Yuyao still live in the original house?" ā
The little eunuch hurriedly replied that it was still there.
When they arrived at the door, Liu Shanggong had already come out of it. She also had surprise on her face when she saluted: "Why did Your Highness come here at this time?" Does the mother know? ā
"I'm coming back from Yunguang Tower, and I'm coming to see Sister Yuxuan." Princess Yuyao looked like a sister in her gestures: "What about her in the house?" ā
"Yes, yes, Your Highness, please come in. However, Princess Yujun took the medicine and fell asleep. ā
Jade Jue slept on the couch, because the windows were closed, and the curtains were only half hung, and the room looked very dark.
She was so thin that at first glance there seemed to be no one on the couch, and the quilt was flat as if it was spread out there, and she couldn't see the slightest undulation.
Princess Yuyao walked lightly and approached. Princess Jade was thinner than she had remembered, and lay there motionless.
She doesn't wake up like she's asleep......
It's like, it's like a dummy without breath and without life.
A wave of fear welled up in Princess Yuyao's heart.
She couldn't tell what she was afraid of.
As if to hide the panic of this moment, Princess Yuyao quickly retreated from the bed. She handed the two hollow incense balls she brought with her hand to Liu Shanggong: "Keep it for my sister, and play with her when she wakes up." ā
Liu Shanggong took it over and thanked Princess Yuyao, and didn't dare to leave Princess Yuyao here longer, so he hurriedly sent this little ancestor out.
If Princess Yuyao contracted an illness in Shoukang Palace, it would not be a joke, and Liu Shanggong's heart was now empty.
It turned out that it was temporary to take care of Princess Yuju, and she still had to go back to the eldest prince. But now that Concubine Jin is dead, nothing is certain. Now there are not a few people left in Shoukang Palace, and the burden on Liu Shanggong's shoulders is heavier.
