After burning the incense, Concubine Cao finally exhausted her strength and died.
Eunuch Yang let go.
Concubine Cao fell to the ground slumped, her eyes wide open.
Do you want to die with your eyes closed? At that time, Queen Mother Cao was like this when she died!
The retribution comes quickly!
Eunuch Yang snorted coldly in his heart and glanced at King Han.
All the expressions of the King of Han were hidden behind the white gauze. Only his eyes, filled with sorrow, despair, anger and hatred, clearly showed his mood at this time.
Eunuch Yang glanced at it and sneered: "Don't worry, your highness. The imperial concubine and the empress will be buried, but your highness does not have to. His highness the prince once promised the emperor that no matter when and where he goes, he will save the lives of his brothers and sisters. Even if his highness commits a serious crime of treason.
, and will not be executed. Just live slowly!"
Living like this, life is worse than death, is quite good.
King Han trembled violently again, moved his lips, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Eunuch Yang showed his anger and waved his hand, asking someone to carry the King of Han down who was vomiting blood and was unconscious.
The body of Concubine Cao was put into a thin coffin and sent to the mausoleum of Empress Dowager Cao for burial.
The strong flames greedily devoured the yellow paper money. The prince and his grandson, father and son, once again knelt and kowtowed in front of the mausoleum of Empress Dowager Cao.
When they raised their heads, the father and son's eyes turned red again.
Kneeling in front of the mausoleum was Prince Fu.
Empress Dowager Cao gave birth to two sons in total, one was Emperor Long'an, and the other was Prince Fu. The death of his brother and mother one after another was a heavy blow to Prince Fu. Prince Fu, who was nearly sixty years old, knelt in front of the mausoleum.
Cry loudly. The cry is sad, like a lone wolf in the wilderness.
Zhu Yun held back tears and reached out to help Prince Fu: "Uncle, take care of yourself."
Prince Fu burst into tears. With Zhu Yun's support, he stood up and continued to cry.
The prince also stood up and whispered: "Uncle Fu Wang, the imperial grandmother has been laid to rest in the ground. It's time for us to go back."
The funeral is over. Next, there are more important things to do!
A country cannot live without a king for a day.
The era of Emperor Long'an has passed. The prince will ascend the throne as the new emperor, and a new era is coming.
Prince Fu endured his grief and responded in a low voice. As he left, he turned to look at the tomb of Empress Dowager Cao and the tomb of Emperor Long'an not far away.
Silent lament echoed in my heart.
…
After the Crown Princess survived the funeral, she couldn't hold on any longer and fell ill.
The concubine Yuan Min was pregnant for more than seven months. Her belly became rounder and bigger day by day, but her cheeks became surprisingly thin. Her beautiful face also lost its luster.
Hong Yu has no choice but to continue to take care of the trivial matters in the East Palace. There are also a lot of trivial matters in the harem. No matter how smart and capable Hong Yu is, she can't handle them. She wants to split herself in half.
The princess fell ill on the bed, and Hongyu had to go to the bedside to serve her when she had some free time.
The warm and bitter decoction entered her mouth. The Crown Princess frowned and forced herself to swallow it. Her stomach was churning and she felt faintly nauseated. The Crown Princess felt extremely uncomfortable.
Hongyu patted the Crown Princess's back and comforted her softly.
The Crown Princess opened her eyes and asked in a low voice: "Are the Crown Prince and Grand-grandson father and son back?"
Hongyu responded softly: "It takes five or six days to carry the coffin to the imperial mausoleum. It takes five or six days. This is only the third day. Please be patient and wait for two more days."
The Crown Princess sighed, with bitterness in her voice: "Hongyu, I'm really scared of waiting."
Last time, what awaited was the sad news that the prince had been assassinated, and there was turmoil in the palace.
I just hope that this time it will be safe and smooth.
Hongyu comforted her with kind words, and coaxed the princess to drink a bowl of medicine, and then brought some candied fruit. The princess had a preserved fruit in her mouth, and the sweet and sour taste drove away the ambiguity in her mouth and heart.
The Crown Princess cheered up and asked, "How's Min'er doing over there?"
Hongyu replied in a low voice: "The great concubine drinks anti-fetal medicine every day and concentrates on raising the fetus. The fetus is still in good health."
The Crown Princess gave a wry smile: "Stop coaxing me. No matter how good Min'er's health is, she can't help but suffer one after another. This baby moved a few times, and she had to go to the mourning hall from time to time. I just hope that God will bless this baby.
If you can do it smoothly, don't be like me back then..."
As he said this, he felt it was unlucky and quickly changed his words: "Min'er has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her body is much stronger than mine back then."
Hongyu echoed with a smile: "What the Empress said is that the Grand Concubine has a tough temperament and is much stronger than the Empress."
The Crown Princess didn't mind being teased by Hong Yu at all and laughed. After a while, she didn't know what she thought of and sighed again.
Hongyu has been serving the Crown Princess for decades. When the Crown Princess moved her eyebrows, she knew what the Crown Princess was thinking: "Do you want to ask how Miss Man'er is doing?"
The Crown Princess gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "This bastard brought the beauty back to the East Palace that day, and the beauty is pregnant."
With the princess's temper, no matter how much she hated Man'er or disliked her, she would not let anyone carry the abortion pill. Even Yuan Min endured the pain in her heart.
Speaking of which, Man'er was considered lucky. When the East Palace was in turmoil, she stayed in a small, secluded courtyard and had no impact. She kept hiding in the courtyard to raise her baby.
"The imperial physician goes to ask for a pulse every three days." Hong Yu whispered: "Miss Man'er looks delicate, but her fetal condition is stable. Counting the time, she is already four months pregnant."
"Does the empress want to summon Miss Man'er to come over and have a look?"
The Crown Princess frowned: "No need. Just let her keep her in the yard!"
After thinking for a while, he added: "Pick two experienced nuns from the palace."
Hongyu opened her mouth and responded.
No matter what, what Man'er is carrying in her belly is the flesh and blood of her grandson. When she is born, she will be a little princess, or a little princess. She cannot be too negligent.
At this moment, Grand Concubine Yuan Min arrived.
Concubine Taisun winked at Hong Yu. Hong Yu nodded slightly and kept silent about Man'er.
"Min'er, you can raise your baby with peace of mind and don't come here all the time." The Crown Princess sat up with Hong Yu's help and reached out to hold Yuan Min's hand, her eyes full of concern.
Yuan Min's haggardness was visible at a glance, but her brows and eyes were a little calmer.
Suffering makes people grow. Today, Yuan Min has experienced ups and downs and is more resilient.
Yuan Min touched her swollen belly habitually, and laughed softly: "I'm a month old, so it's a good thing to move around more. Is the mother-in-law feeling better today?"
The Crown Princess smiled and nodded: "Much better. Take good care of yourself and don't worry about me."
It's shameful to say that as a mother-in-law, she failed to take good care of her daughter-in-law, and she always made her daughter-in-law worry and work hard.
The Crown Princess has a straightforward personality and can never hide her thoughts. Whatever is on her mind is inevitably revealed on her face.
Yuan Min secretly smiled in her heart and comforted the princess softly: "The mother-in-law is the backbone of the daughter-in-law. If the daughter-in-law doesn't come to see the mother-in-law for a day, she will always feel uneasy!"
The Crown Princess was coaxed to laugh out loud. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted in low voices and seemed harmonious.
