Chapter 10: Above the Death of the Nation

Not surprisingly, Qing Ruifan saw the emperor on the edge of the couch. It was still the same bright yellow robe, and the five-clawed golden dragon on his chest was wrinkled, looking so ugly that he was completely majestic. Obviously he is such a heroic and unparalleled person, and now he is presented in front of him as thin as a useless piece of paper. Qing Ruifan felt that he had been stabbed in the heart, his heart seemed to be grabbed and slashed, and his eyes and nose were sour. At that moment, I suddenly felt that the heavens and the earth had collapsed, and all the efforts I had made for many months had been in vain. It was his father, and to him it was a heaven-like existence.

Gu Lingge gently pulled his sleeve behind his back to stop him from moving forward. Qing Ruifan suddenly woke up and looked at the person who was dead with a peaceful face. Gu Lingge glanced at him, and his voice was clear: "There are still people waiting outside." ”

Qing Ruifan pinched his thigh fiercely, then turned around and walked out without looking at Gu Lingge.

"Your Majesty, you are dead." Qing Ruifan stood on the high platform, his eyes were red, but his voice said this smoothly. The sun in the early spring afternoon was not strong, but Qing Ruifan felt dazzling and felt like he was about to cry.

The father who once taught him benevolence and peace of mind, taught him the way of being a man, and was always gentle, will never be seen. It's easy to say that heaven and man are forever separated, but when you really experience it, it's always painful. There was a whimpering cry below, both sincere and fake. Qing Ruifan has never hated women so much as he does now, crying like a ball of bees, buzzing and annoying to listen to.

"The order goes down and the state funeral is issued. The whole country has been mourning for three years. Qing Ruifan let go of his voice this time and made a loud noise. Gu Lingge's black clothes are now very appropriate, but she didn't know it, and stood beside Qing Ruifan with a willow eyebrows and peach blossom face like a sculpture. She also doesn't like people who cry, she is too weak and easy to bully.

Everyone's experience is different, as far as Chang Dong is concerned, seeing this group of beauties crying with pear blossoms and rain, he may not know how to cherish it in his heart, but for Gu Lingge, crying is just a waste practice, she never likes waste, and keeping it is just a drag, it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots when she finds out. Gu Lingge hates a lot of people, and he hates a lot of tongues.

Qing Ruifan frowned at the smell of fat powder in the air, and he waved his hand to bring back those who were destined to become concubines or martyrs back to his palace. Then he sent a herald back to inform the soldiers in the barracks, and by the way, he posted an imperial list announcing the great death, and the entire imperial city was immersed in grief.

Qing Ruifan's father, Qing Haoxuan, has been in power for many years, recuperating with the people, never paying taxes or provoking wars, finding a buffer period for the national strength of the whole country, and laying the foundation, so he is deeply loved by the people. Even when the news of this kind of thing came out, the people did not say that they were going to riot, and they always believed that as long as Qing Haoxuan was there, even if it broke the sky, there was a chance to remedy it. But now, although people still haven't done anything, it can really be described as a national mourning.

After the initial chaos in the palace, the harem was controlled by Yang Li'er. The Queen Mother was already heartbroken and fainted several times, while the other concubines were too low or just as sad and had no administrative ability at all, so they could only be handed over to Yang Li'er. After all, she is still the only person Qing Ruifan has admitted for so many years, and she can also say a few words.

Qing Ruifan sat alone in the imperial garden, and gave a death order not to allow anyone to approach. Yang Li'er was still blocked in the corridor with the food box in her hand. The man seemed to have been hit by a huge blow, and he had been hanging his head since he came in the morning, and he hadn't even changed his movements in the slightest. The whole person, as if dead, was lifeless, and there was no vitality left behind.

Yang Li'er can understand. She has heard Qing Ruifan say countless times what kind of father Qing Haoxuan is, he likes his son very much, from the method of writing and moving the pen to the way of governing the country as a king, everything is detailed, meticulous, and teaches him personally, never reserved or calculated, he is a rare father, even for the harem concubines, he has never seen him angry.

Such a good father, even if he didn't die at the hands of his own brother, he would be just as sad, not to mention ...... However, the most ruthless imperial family, as long as you enter the royal family, where is there room to talk about feelings? Power and status have always been the main culprits of seduction.

Yang Li'er still lives in the East Palace, but she is making decisions about many things. Since Qing Ruifan has become the new emperor on the throne, then everything must be new, between these changes, Qing Ruifan doesn't care, only Yang Li'er, the only female dependent, is eligible. Gu Lingge disdains these ** trivial things, and he has never seen a figure since he forced the palace that day. For this, Yang Li'er likes to hear it. Women are naturally jealous creatures.

It's noon now, and it looks like Qing Ruifan is still determined to spend a day here. Yang Li'er had no choice but to hand over the food box to the guards, sigh and retreat. He needed time to digest the matter, and Yang Li'er firmly believed that she could soften him with tenderness, but now was not the time.

When Gu Lingge came back from outside the palace, she planned to go to Qing Ruifan, and that bit of guarding was not a difficult thing for her. She simply and neatly knocked down the guards, and the guards in the distance saw this white-clothed woman with sharp eyes, and they all lowered their heads, looked at their noses and noses, and pretended not to know anything. None of them were able to beat Gu Lingge, they had known this for a long time, and now they were only confirming it again.

"Qing Ruifan, why did you announce the emperor's death in public?" Gu Lingge was a little annoyed. Why didn't he make his own decision without consulting her? As the future emperor, she didn't believe that he didn't understand a word and didn't know what would happen next. However, Qing Ruifan didn't say a word, he didn't even change his sitting posture, and he still couldn't see his expression clearly with his calm head. Gu Lingge could only see a black head, a simple jade bundle placed on the head, and even the sunlight was absorbed, revealing the depression and dullness that swallowed everything.

Obviously, he can wait for himself to ascend the throne before announcing it to the world, so that he has a reputation for filial piety and benevolence, which is conducive to the establishment of the image of the Son of Heaven, and it will not hinder Qing Haoxuan's mourning period, right? It's okay to have a headache and brain fever impulse, who to show you to such a sluggish look now? She had bothered to deploy to this point, and if she lost everything, she would kill him without blinking!

Gu Lingge asked, and after a while, he didn't bother to wait. Approaching him, Gu Lingge easily lifted his collar and forced Qing Ruifan to raise his face to look at her. At the moment when he raised his head, Gu Lingge greeted Qing Ruifan's white face with a crisp slap, and the five clear red fingerprints were enough to show how angry Gu Lingge was. Qing Ruifan's face was swollen, and the red and white were very visually impactful. Her voice was clear, but her eyes were fierce:

"If you don't want to stay here, get out of here, I'll kill you."

For Gu Lingge, there is only one way left for meaningless chess pieces, to die. No matter who he is in this world, as long as he is in her eyes and has no great use, he can basically only wait underground.

After slapping him, Gu Lingge turned around and left, the fluttering of his skirt brought a dark fragrance in the air, floating and sinking, all of which were amorous. Qing Ruifan's blank eyes regained some brilliance, looking at Gu Lingge's back, his eyes were bright and dark, like a fox that had just woken up. The woman just now made a rough slap to His Majesty the Emperor, and it was still such a loud slap. The soldiers stationed there admired Gu Lingge's courage, but without Qing Ruifan's order, no one dared to step forward. Gu Lingge's identity is special, and the whole palace knows it, but there are not many people who know Gu Lingge's kung fu, and the guards dare not step forward when they see it, for fear of upsetting the two masters, after all, no matter which master they have, they are not the object they can parry.

"Blue Coat, bring the food box." Qing Ruifan stood up from the steps, sighed and looked at the waiter who was guarding next to him like a pillar, Lan Yi had followed him since he was a child, and he was similar to Chang Dong, but he was always closer than Chang Dong. Qing Ruifan looked at the delicate snacks in the box, picked up the bamboo chopsticks and picked them up, sighed, and swallowed one. No matter how sweet the taste is, it is bitter in the mouth. At this time, he was full of bitterness, how could he still taste it? But there was no choice but to force myself to swallow it, even if it was to be beaten just now.

"Tomorrow, gather the ministers in the Yongyuan Palace, and the palace has something to say." Lan Yi nodded yes and stood silently to the side. Qing Ruifan's eyes are red, and his face is also red, which has a unique style, but his eyes are sharp and impossible to ignore.

Lan Yi observed Qing Ruifan's movements while telling him the follow-up of forcing the palace. The third prince has been pressed into the prison and will be beheaded in the near future. And now the affairs of the court are in charge of Mrs. Li, and no matter what happens, someone will take care of it. On the harem side, because the Queen Mother was sad, Yang Li'er was temporarily sitting in the side hall of the East Palace and giving orders to the entire palace.

No one ever thought that the final resolution of the matter would be like this, and no one expected it to end so quickly. The Three Princes have been making a fuss for a few months, and now it looks more like a joke than a real usurpation. But the whole country mourns, after all, is not a trivial matter. He also needs to elect a queen as soon as possible, worship the heavens and worship the ancestors, no one is missing, and he can't be alone. The emptiness of the harem is true, but the queen is a necessary façade, even if it is a simple act, and it is necessary to find someone as soon as possible.

Evening.

Gu Lingge and Yunshuang walked in the Imperial Garden, looking at the fish grabbing food and grabbing happily under the small bridge, the red, white and white were cute.

"Master, Yimo said that you can go over at any time in the past few days, and people have recuperated in vain and fat, and they can be taken away at any time." Gu Lingge nodded. All she had to do was go to the prison for final confirmation.

The night is getting thicker, and the two can only spend the night outside, the wind blows people very comfortably, but there is a sense of distance. The curtain opens, and sings and complains, asking for more blessings.
