The queen lowered her head slightly, thought for a moment and then said: "Cen Zhaoyi is the Holy Emperor's beloved concubine, not to mention she gave birth to the fifth prince for the royal family.
I will personally go and take a look. If the person can still be saved, I will do everything possible to save him. This can be regarded as an explanation to the Holy One."
So the queen led everyone and arrived at Yucheng Palace.
At this time, the sky was slightly dim and the morning star had already risen.
The fire in the palace has been put out, and the smell of burning is wafting in the wind.
No matter what happened to Ke Wangchen, he still had to salute the queen when he saw her.
The queen behaved very generously at this time and said to him: "Guard Ke has done his job with all his heart, thank you for your hard work. Please step back and have a rest first."
Ke Wangchen only took a few steps back and did not leave, so the queen stopped paying attention to him.
Ke Wangchen could stop Zhou Ren, but he had no right to stop the queen.
At this time, Shui Zhaoyi and Zhong Jieyu, who heard the news, also came over. They really didn't want anything to happen to Cen Yunchu.
The queen led her people straight into the palace, and everyone naturally knelt down to pay their respects.
The queen glanced around and saw Xu Chunjun holding the baby in his arms and Cen Yunchu lying motionless on the bed.
There were tears on everyone's faces, obviously they had been crying just now.
"I heard that Yun Chu's condition is not very good. Why don't you invite an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him?" The queen is very good at rake, "Here, come quickly and check Cen Zhaoyi's pulse."
Of course the queen was not here to save Cen Yunchu, she just wanted to confirm whether Cen Yunchu was really dead.
After checking his pulse, the three imperial doctors all concluded that Cen Yunchu had expired.
The queen couldn't help but lamented, and even said with a sigh of relief: "It's so unfortunate that beauty is so miserable! Poor Yun Chu died at such a young age, it's really heartbreaking."
Gao Yueying immediately stepped forward to comfort the queen and said: "Queen, please don't be too sad. As the saying goes, life and death have fate, this is probably Cen Zhaoyi's fate!"
"Yes, this woman is just wandering around the gates of hell when she gives birth to a child," Feng Zhaoyi said with a helpless sigh, "No one can replace the other."
"Since people cannot be resurrected after death, let's bury Cen Zhaoyi properly!" the queen said.
At this moment, she really felt that she had completely eliminated a scourge, it was really relaxing and happy.
Cen Yunchu was her heartache. Ever since she entered the palace, she had never had a peaceful day.
Now this disaster star has finally been sent away!
"Queen, we're afraid we won't be able to bury Cen Zhaoyi until the emperor comes back." At this time, Shui Zhaoyi came up and said to the queen.
Before leaving the palace, the emperor asked her to assist the queen in managing the harem.
But Shui Zhaoyi was a person with a laid-back temperament. Despite the emperor's orders, she didn't do much.
The suggestion given to the Queen now is reasonable and reasonable.
"You are right," the Queen nodded. "If Your Majesty did not see her for the last time and saw her buried with your own eyes, you would certainly not be able to feel at ease."
"But we can't stop the mourning in the palace, so we should order someone to escort it to the temple outside the palace and send someone to watch over it!" Shui Zhaoyi added.
"This arrangement is very appropriate. In my opinion, let Guard Ke lead someone to handle it! Otherwise, they will not be at ease if it is left to others, and the emperor will not be satisfied." The queen was happy to be a smooth favor at this time.
Cen Yunchu was already dead, so she didn't care how great his reputation was.
Even if the emperor posthumously made her the imperial concubine, she would happily second the proposal.
It’s just a false reputation, why bother!
"I will personally take care of Cen Zhaoyi's funeral affairs." The queen added, "It must be dignified and dignified, and it must not be careless."
When it comes to superficial skills, the Queen has it all.
People who don't know it must think she is very virtuous.
After making arrangements for Cen Yunchu's funeral, he turned his attention to the newly born fifth prince.
"Poor child, please bring it to me and take a look." The queen said, "My mother is so pitiful to have such a small child gone. Let me raise her first. After the emperor comes back, we will decide on the child's fate."
to whom."
There has always been such a rule in the palace. If the biological mother of a prince or princess is of low status or dies, she will be fostered under the name of another concubine.
As soon as the queen finished speaking, Aunt Liu next to her walked over, intending to take the child from Xu Chunjun's hands.
Everyone knew that if this child fell into the hands of the queen, he would inevitably die young.
His biological mother was so favored that the queen would never allow him to grow up.
At this time, Bai Fu stood up, took out an imperial edict from his arms, and said loudly: "The Holy One has this purpose."
When everyone heard this, they quickly knelt down to listen to the announcement.
"Cen's Zhaoyi is beautiful, intelligent, gentle, filial, quiet and sensitive, and has won my heart.
At the time of delivery, I was not in the capital, and I was deeply concerned about her.
A special imperial edict was issued and read out after Cen's birth, as a sign of my care and concern.
If Mr. Cen gives birth safely, all those who serve him will be rewarded generously.
Mr. Cen is recuperating in the palace, and everyone with higher status can disappear.
Regardless of whether they are male or female, they are all raised by their side.
Mr. Cen can order his family members to visit and take care of him in the palace, and others are not allowed to interfere.
If heaven is not merciful and the Cen family is destroyed, the spirit will be kept in the imperial temple outside the palace and will not be buried.
The children born will be handed over to Mrs. Dingbei Gong and Mrs. Chengenbo to raise them in the palace. The remaining matters will be discussed after I return to Beijing.
In the palace where he is located, the remaining concubines and palace residents are not allowed to enter privately.
No one is allowed to disobey what the edict says, and anyone who disobeys it will be severely punished when I return to the palace!"
The emperor was thinking about Cen Yunchu and also considered that she might encounter something unexpected.
Therefore, he left this secret edict before leaving Beijing.
As a result, the queen could not take away Cen Yunchu's child.
"I've finished reading the edict. Queen, please get up quickly! All ladies and queens should also get up." Bai Fu put away the edict.
"It seems that what I think is similar to what the emperor thinks, so let's bury Cen Zhaoyi first, and then escort him to the imperial temple." The queen said calmly.
Then he said to Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan: "Manager Bai just read out the edict, and you heard it.
I'll leave this child to you for now! Be careful and take care of it.
If there is anything missing, just send someone to get it. If there is any difficulty, let someone tell me."
Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan agreed.
Then the queen left with everyone.
Shui Zhaoyi and Zhong Jieyu stayed until the end, looking at the fifth prince with Xu Chunjun's hand.
"Such a handsome boy, so pitiful." Shui Zhaoyi sighed.
She could only protect herself in this harem and could not protect Cen Yunchu at all.
Zhong Jieyu wiped her tears. She was also a mother, and she couldn't help but feel sad when she thought about losing her mother just after the child was born.
She herself also had a hard life. It was difficult for her to have a fourth prince, but most likely he would not grow up.
After everyone left, Xu Chunjun wiped her tears and said, "Don't be stunned. Let's bathe and change your clothes properly!"
She and Jiang Nuan personally wiped Cen Yunchu's body, dressed him, and combed his hair.
After everything was tidied up, it was already daylight.
In the bright spring light, Cen Yunchu was placed in the coffin.
