Chapter Seventy-Nine: Song Xing is dead
The eunuch's hurried report shocked the queen who was lying in the inner room and said that she was sick and couldn't see Xu Jinrou, and her face was like earth, "How could King Zhao be missing?" ”
Xu Jinrou was also shocked, "How could King Zhao go to Yishan?" ”
The queen ignored Princess Jin's surprise, and immediately ordered the chief eunuch to dispatch all the fathers-in-law who could be dispatched in the palace to Yishan to find King Zhao, and at the same time, she immediately set off and rushed to the place of the incident.
Princess Jin, who looked confused, was at a loss, and she also panicked and took her personal maid Fang Ruo out of the palace to Yishan with her personal maid.
Yishan was fifty miles away from Kyoto City, and it was already dark when Xu Jinrou arrived at Yishan Pass.
There are lit torches everywhere near Yishan, people shouting and neighing, making a mess, and Gonggong Yan has led the father-in-law in the palace to look for the traces of King Zhao all over the mountains.
There was a eunuch in the East Palace who was at the scene of the incident at that time, trembling in front of the queen, telling about what happened today.
Before dawn this morning, Song Xing, the king of Zhao, asked his little father-in-law to accompany him, and took twenty powerful father-in-law in the East Palace to leave the palace in five carriages and rush to Yishan.
Before noon, the group arrived at the mountain pass of Yishan, and then parked the car here and waited quietly, and the king of Zhao told the eunuchs to wait here to receive a sum of silver, and everyone would be rewarded after receiving the silver.
Everyone was very happy, but the father-in-law was even more excited, and his little face was flushed, as if he had been coated with rouge, and he looked even more charming and charming, and King Zhao liked it, and kissed his father-in-law a few times in front of the father-in-law present, and his heart was even more shy.
At noon, when there was no one to be seen, a small river that flowed out of the mountains suddenly became turbid, and then became turbulent, and then the water widened and widened, and there was a loud noise on one side of the hillside, and in an instant the mud and sand fell together, and the river rushed abruptly.
Caught off guard, the five carriages and the father-in-law who were waiting outside the carriage were swept away by the muddy river, and were quickly buried by the mud and sand, and only three or four people could escape, including the others including King Zhao, who were nowhere to be found.
The queen's face was pale, and she ordered to go down, you must find King Zhao, otherwise she will never return to the palace, and the carriage was found under the mud and sand soon after, but King Zhao was not found.
Although there was a lot of noise outside the car, Xu Jinrou slept very sweetly in the carriage, the time and place of this mudslide were exactly the same as in the previous life, but the addition of Zhao Wang and others was sent to death here.
Everything was expected by her, King Zhao's greed, the queen's pampering of this little son, and her contempt for her widowed daughter-in-law like a pig and a dog, led to this disaster.
After the unremitting search of the fathers-in-law, when it was almost noon the next day, they finally found King Zhao wrapped in mud in the mud and sand.
King Zhao and Little Father-in-law Kexin hugged each other, they were already stiff, they had long lost their breath, and they couldn't die anymore.
The queen looked at King Zhao's corpse and was speechless at first, at this time several eunuchs were trying to separate the corpses of King Zhao and Kexin, and the queen suddenly shouted loudly, "Chop him up, chop this little minion and feed it to the dog." ”
The guards fell with their knives and axes, and in a matter of moments, the corpse of the hearty was reduced to pulp.
When Gonggong Yan personally led someone to change the dirty clothes on King Zhao's body, the queen rushed over and hugged the corpse of King Song Xing of Zhao, crying bitterly.
After the death of Song Heng, the king of Jin, Song Xing, the king of Zhao, also died, and the queen's two biological sons were all destined to go to Huangquan.
Princess Xu Jinrou of Jin also cried on the side, persuading the queen to mourn and take care of her body.
Crying and crying, the queen suddenly stopped her grief, she stood up suddenly, and a cold glint shot out of her eyes, "Princess Jin, why did such a tragic disaster happen in Yishan Pass, and Xing'er died here?" ”
Princess Jin was confused and puzzled, "Queen Mother, how did King Zhao appear in Yishan, the concubines are also very confused, this has nothing to do with the concubines, as for why such a torrent of mud and stones can occur in Yishan, it is not human, how do the concubines know why?" ”
The queen was speechless for a while, and then raised her eyebrows, "Why didn't the person who sent the silver from Xiban appear in Yishan?" ”
Xu Jinrou's face was even more confused, "The place where the Xiban came to give silver to the concubines has been changed to the Mengshan Pass more than ten miles away from here, not Yishan." ”
The queen's face changed, "You personally told the mourning family that the place where the silver was handed over was in Yishan Pass, when was it changed to Mengshan?" ”
Xu Jinrou thought slightly, "Well..., it was three days ago, it should be the day when the queen mother asked the concubine about the handover of the silver two, and the concubine got the news when she left the palace, because I heard that there are often flash floods in Yishan recently, so the Xiban people changed the place of handover to Mengshan." ”
The queen's voice trembled slightly, "You, why didn't you tell the mourning family about this?" ”
Xu Jinrou was a little confused, "The queen mother did not ask for a concubine, if there is a change, you need to be informed, but the concubine also wants to say..."
Speaking of this, Xu Jinrou hesitated slightly, and then continued:
"Yesterday, the queen mother passed the decree that she wanted to see the concubine, and the concubine wanted to mention it, but you... Suddenly unwell let the concubine wait, the concubine did not dare to resist the decree, the silver could not be handed over and would be sent again, but the disobedience to the mother was the concubine was unfilial, so the concubine always waited in Tianshou Palace, and did not mention it to King Zhao, nor did he invite King Zhao to Yishan to hand over the silver taels, the concubine really didn't understand why King Zhao came to Yishan? ”
At this time, Gonggong Yan rushed to report that he had found out the exact news, and yesterday there were indeed Xiban merchants who pulled a lot of boxes and went to Mengshan near Yishan, and waited for more than an hour at the Mengshan Pass before leaving.
The queen's expression was depressed, her body shook a few times and almost fell, but Mama Li hurriedly reached out to help.
The queen shook off Mama Li's hand, ignored Xu Jinrou, hugged Song Xing's corpse and continued to cry bitterly.
……
King Zhao's funeral was held very grandly, no matter who it was, whether old or young, the whole palace was vegetarian.
King Zhao's mausoleum was built next to the tomb of King Jin, and the queen ordered all the surviving eunuchs of the East Palace who accompanied King Zhao to Yishan that day to be buried.
From the burial to the burial, Princess Zhao didn't shed a single tear to Wenjing throughout the whole process, but cried to the twin sisters Wenyu and Xiang Wenzhu.
The eldest princess Song Yuzhi couldn't get out of bed because of her serious injuries and couldn't get up to see her brother on his last journey, and the many plans she had agreed with Zhao King Song Xing to deal with Xu Jinrou, the princess of Jin, were in vain.
Xu Jinrou can guess these things, and she also knows that the happiest people in her heart now are the crown princess Li Bilan and the crown prince Song Feng, and the East Palace can be theirs again.
Wan Niang got the news of King Zhao's death, but she did not return to the palace to mourn, and recently she rarely even returned to the palace to visit her children.
Song Heng, the king of Jin, died, although she has never had a name, but the queen recognized her, and now she can be regarded as a widow, but this widow has to accompany the king of Ximan in the palace of King Zhao, what face does she have to appear in public?
She didn't know what others thought of her, especially Princess Xu Jinrou of Jin, she didn't want to face it, and now what she wanted to do most was to let Yuwen Canglan take her to Xiban, even if it was an outer room, it would be better than making people laugh in Dachu.
I heard that the temporary palace of Tianzhu Mountain has been built, and Yuwen Canglan is going to move there recently, so as to supervise the mining of iron ore, she doesn't know if she can go along? Because in the past few days, Yuwen Canglan has not come to Xinyixuan, and she has not been sent to Zhaoyang Pavilion to sleep, I don't know if she has a new love?
She instructed the maid to inquire about the situation, and the maid replied that the prince did not seem to have a new love.
In the past few days, the prince has driven out the slaves and maids in the Zhaoyang Pavilion every night, leaving only some dumb servants sent by the prison government to serve in the pavilion.
Not long ago, one of the dumb servants from the prison mansion didn't know what taboo he had committed, and the king of Yuzhou was furious and killed the dumb servant with his own hands, and then he ordered Luo Wuwei, the housekeeper of the prison mansion, to leave those dumb servants in the pavilion, and if anyone made a mistake, they would be killed together, and Luo Wuwei was also driven out of the Zhao Wangfu.
After Wan Niang heard these news, her heart couldn't help but move, Wang Yuwen Canglan was ignorant of men and women, moody, didn't he have something he didn't want people to know?
Liu Er, who stayed in Zhaoyang Pavilion, was worried all day long, and he could guess that the beauty he saw that night was the eldest prince of Xiban, Yuwen Canglan, the king of Yuzhou, who might be a prince who wished he was a woman.
After all, he was the king of Dachu, and he knew a little about the powerful people with various habits, and understood what they were thinking, if this great prince of the Western Barbarians had this habit, he wanted to take this opportunity to get close to him, maybe he could get out of the control of Liu Rentu through this great prince.
Liu Er thought of Xu Jinrou in the Prison Mansion and Wan Niang's panting and moaning in Xinyixuan, he felt that his heart was dripping blood, and his whole body trembled, he wanted more.
But although he had this thought, he was afraid that if he made a mistake, he would cause death, so he hesitated.
The breeze blows and the moon hangs high on this night, and this kind of full moon night is the most emotional night.
Liu Er looked up at Mingyue, not knowing what he was thinking.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and a faint fragrance hit, it was the familiar kind of fragrance, his heart tightened, and a beauty came under the bright moonlight.
The beauty wore a long skirt of light blue brocade, embroidered with white plum blossoms, a white brocade belt tied around the waist to show a slender waist, black hair curled into a wishful bun, and a jasper hairpin. Adorned with thin silver thread beaded tassels.
The face is thinly powdered, the eyes are full of spring water, the fragrance is more beautiful than the flowers, and the mouth is like a smile at the corner of the mouth.
Liu Er's heart rose to his throat, and he suddenly tore off a piece of cloth on the placket of his clothes, then bit his middle finger and knelt on the ground.
