Chapter 431: There is almost no cause of death
The person who is the best at detoxification is also the best at poisoning, but he is unwilling to take it lightly. One life for another, that's it, even if you can't save Min'er, you should let those who hinder his way of life be punished as they deserve.
Yuan Xi raised his head, looked at the miserable white autumn moon, and sighed abruptly. Looking back, the road is full of bloody wind and rain. Those who should be killed, those who should not be killed, those who want to be killed, those who don't want to be killed, are shuttling in front of them one by one.
The palace people in the north palace waited for a while, but they didn't see the imperial doctor coming, so they had to send someone to urge again, and when Wang Nianen arrived in a hurry with a few imperial doctors, the queen mother was already out of breath.
Wang Nianen felt a tingling of his scalp, he had already stabilized the Queen Mother's condition, why did he suddenly have a seizure?
Called the palace maid to ask the queen mother about the symptoms before she died, but no one knew, after several interrogations, she finally found the two lazy palace maids, she was already scared, and she couldn't say that she was ugly. only said that the two people who took care of the queen mother in the end were not them, and seeing that there were people in the palace to take care of them, the two of them withdrew, and that's it.
Someone has to be the person in charge of the life and death of the Queen Mother, so these two are scapegoats.
Beigong reorganized a little and sent people out of the palace to find the emperor.
Rong Zhan and Rong Run drank in the flower hall of the palace, one cup after another, and they got drunk at some point. The palace eunuch had no choice but to invite Prince Bao and Princess Bao, Yuan Yue hurriedly got up, went to the flower hall to wake up Rong Run, and told the palace about the matter.
Rong Run was stunned for a moment, looking at Yuan Yue inexplicably, looking incomprehensible. Yuan Yue flattened his mouth and repeated it again.
He shivered as if he had woken up, and a little light returned to his eyes, and he stood up suddenly.
"Queen Mother......" He hurriedly ran out of the flower hall, turned back after a while, and woke up Rong Zhan like crazy.
The two men boarded the carriage in the palace and hurried back to the palace.
The Queen Mother couldn't be saved, the two palace maids were wiping the Queen Mother's body with water, changing into clean clothes, and a group of palace maids knelt in front of the bed and cried. The two "culprits" have been tied up, leaving Rong Zhan to fall.
Rong Zhan only felt that his mind was blank, and his mouth grew in shock, and the Queen Mother lay quietly on the bed, her face and lips had become snow-white.
Yuan Xi had already changed the color of the concubine's clothes, and knelt in front of the queen mother's bed with Mother Zhong, "mourning and crying".
Rong Zhan walked over slowly, stumbled a little, and almost fell in front of the queen mother's bed, Yuan Xi hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
"The emperor mourns, the queen mother has passed away. ”
"Queen Mother......" He was full of remorse and stroked his hair with self-reproach.
Yuan Xi held him up, with tears on his face: "Your Majesty ......"
"How could she, Queen Mother?"
Yuan Xi lowered his head slightly, and glanced at Wang Nianen: "Imperial Doctor Wang, you say." ”
Wang Nianen was also confused, and carefully examined the body of the Queen Mother, and there was no sign of poisoning.
"Wechen really ......" Wang Nianen swallowed his saliva: "The Queen Mother should have died of anger, Wechen has stabilized the Queen Mother's condition during the day, and also instructed that he can't move anymore, presumably because of something, the Queen Mother is angry, so she will ......"
Wang Nianen said, bowing his head with a few imperial doctors.
Rong Zhan and Rong Run looked at Wang Nianen in astonishment: "Who provoked the Queen Mother?!"
No one knows what's going on, everyone is tired today and wants to be lazy, but now that the Queen Mother is dead, this laziness has become a big crime.
"Who is it!?" said Rong Run.
The palace ladies just lowered their heads, and none of them dared to answer.
"Imperial sister-in-law......" Rong Yun looked at Won-hee, wanting to hear an answer from her.
Yuan Xi let out a long sigh, and his eyes fell on the two palace maids: "The queen mother is seriously ill during the day, and these palace maids are tired, so I found these two people to serve the queen mother at night, thinking that the condition has stabilized and there will be no major incident." If the illness does recur, these two people can also go to the other person. But who knows that these two girls are tired, I don't know where they are lazy, the Queen Mother is seriously ill, and I heard that someone else found out. It can be seen that these two palace maids are deeply sinful. ”
When Rong Run heard this, he was ruthless, grabbed one casually, and pushed hard, and the palace maid fell to the ground on her back: "I killed you!"
Rong Run was about to draw his sword, but was stopped by Rong Zhan: "The queen mother has just passed away, and it is not appropriate to see blood in front of the bed at this time." ”
Rong Run threw away the saber in resentment.
Rong Zhan showed a somewhat fierce look, and turned his back on his hand: "Drag out the two lowly hooves who have no master in their eyes, beat them heavily, and kill them!"
The funeral of the Queen Mother belongs to the state funeral, according to the rules, during the national funeral, the royal family members are not allowed to eat meat at home, entertainment, and the people are not allowed to sing and dance. Even if there is a happy event in the family, it can only be simple.
Rong Zhan stayed with the Queen Mother all night in front of the bed, watching the palace maids carry the Queen Mother's body into the coffin.
The monks in the palace who recited scriptures excessively hummed and didn't know what they were reading.
Yuan Xi just knelt in front of the mausoleum and wept silently. Tears are just for show, looking at Rong Zhan sideways, he is sincere, crying to the end, standing up, shaking his body twice, and fainting.
Yuan Xi hurriedly asked someone to carry Rong Zhan back to the dormitory to rest.
Yu'er is still a baby and refuses to be honest and filial piety. Mother Zhong worked hard for a while, but he broke free. Yuan Xi looked at Yu'er, in fact, she didn't want Yu'er to give the Queen Mother filial piety, but since the Queen Mother is dead, whether she can bring it or not is just a matter of face, and Yuan Xi is willing to save her this face.
"Master, the little prince finally broke free, can't he take it?" Mother Zhong was finally defeated.
"I'll come. Ling'er took the white cloth strip and tied it to Yu'er's head, Yu'er stretched her little hand and pulled it down, and shook it twice as if she was demonstrating. Ling'er tied it to his wrist again, and Yu'er pulled it for a long time, but she couldn't pull it off, so she went to pull the knot, pulled it a few times, and actually asked him to tear it open.
Ling Er almost laughed, but he just made a helpless look and said, "Master, this little prince is so smart, he can actually untie that knot!"
Yuan Xi couldn't help laughing, this kid is as stubborn as his father's temper, and no one can force him to do what he doesn't want to do.
Yuan Xi said loudly: "It's really not good, it's just a pig-killing knot, the more you earn, the stronger you get." ”
The corners of Ling'er's lips tugged, where is this? Dai Xiao sent a pig-killing knot?
"That's it, he doesn't want to wear it, so he won't wear it, how old is he, can he understand this?"
As soon as Yuan Xi looked up, Rong Zhan had already walked in, and she hurriedly greeted her: "Why did the emperor get up?"
Rong Zhan waved his hand and said, "You guys take Yu'er down first, and I will say a few words to the queen alone." ”
The Queen Mother was poisoned by her own hands, and she was always a little flustered in the face of Rong Zhan. But Wei Yuanxi is an old man in the end, enough to do it without changing his face and heartbeat.
Slowly poured a cup of tea: "What does the emperor want to say to his concubines?"
Rong Zhan took the teacup, but he didn't mean to drink it, and sighed: "The queen mother is in mourning, and it is a conflict with Enke." ”
Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, it turned out that what he was going to talk about was this.
"The Queen Mother's funeral is important, and Enko can postpone it again. Won-hee replied.
Rong Zhan shook his head, such an answer was obviously not to his liking.
"What does the emperor mean?" asked Yuan Xi in surprise.
"Enke has postponed this a lot, the war is understandable, and then because of Cheng Yong's matter, it was delayed once, but now, if it is delayed again, I am afraid that it will make the students of the world chill. What credibility does Guozijian have?" Rong Zhan said with a long sigh of relief.
Yuan Xi was silent for a long time and said, "What does the emperor mean is to open Enke during the great funeral?"
Rong Zhan nodded.
"That'...... The princess and Cheng Yong's thing?"
Rong Zhan hesitated for a moment and looked at Yuan Xi: "What do you think?"
Yuan Xi lowered his eyelids slightly and said, "According to the rules, the wedding should be held after the filial piety period." Just worried about the princess's age...... Cheng Yong is a man, it's okay to drag it down, it's just a one-way princess she......"
Rong Zhan covered her hand and said softly: "I'm also worried about this, after all, Chenxiang is a girl, and besides, she is not small." ”
Yuan Xi said gently: "The Queen Mother loved Princess Chenxiang the most during her lifetime, and she must not want to see her daughter's marriage delayed. ”
Rong Zhan responded: "Just let the two of them get married." ”
"Dai Xiao is married?" Yuan Xi was a little surprised.
This is not without precedent, but it is not the princess who marries, but the lord of the prince's family. At that time, it was already groundbreaking, and it was outrageous by the literati at that time.
Rong Zhan nodded: "Dai Xiao is married, but at the ceremony, there are some things to be reduced." Moreover, just marrying in the past, you can't round the house. The others are to stabilize the mouths of the secluded people. ”
Yuan Xi sighed abruptly: "How easy is this?"
Rong Zhan snorted: "It's not easy, so I want to discuss with you and see if there is any way." ”
"Solution?" Yuan Xi pondered for a while and said, "It's not that there is no way. What I am most afraid of in this matter is that the courtiers oppose it, and the people below us oppose it. The courtiers will definitely say that the emperor is against the rule of the Great Chu Rites, and what the literati want to say is nothing more than benevolence and filial piety. If it can be proved that this matter is the will of the Queen Mother, then the courtiers and literati will probably not say anything more. ”
Rong Zhan nodded, this is the truth, but the Queen Mother is already dead, and she didn't see anyone before she died......
"But ......" Rong Zhan said, looking up at Yuan Xi: "When the Queen Mother died, the queen was in the palace, and I guess the queen mother had any instructions, and she told the queen about it." ”
Won-hee opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
"What's the matter, the queen can't remember?" Rong Zhan asked again.
Yuan Xi frowned and asked in a low voice, "Is this okay?"
"What's not to do?" Rong Zhan looked at her: "The queen mother has knowledge and will understand us." ”
Yuan Xi nodded: "Since the emperor has said so, the concubine remembers clearly." The queen mother did say before her death that Enke in this world can no longer be delayed, and must be done according to the rules, the princess is the only person who can not rest assured of the queen mother, and the princess's marriage can not be delayed any longer. ”
"Master, it's time to cry. Mother Zhong was outside the door and said loudly.
