Jiang Nai patted her mother's hand gently and lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry, mother, there are a few cold listeners around father to protect him."
"If the crowd is in chaos, mother doesn't have to worry about anything and just stay with her daughter."
Jiang Nai shook her mother's hand again and comforted her softly, "Don't worry."
Simply looking at the hexagrams, this incident should be a sign that there is no danger, and it will not lead to any big trouble.
The Junshan Imperial Tomb is about two or three hours away from the capital city.
With their current slow progress, it is estimated that it will take them until noon to reach Junshan.
In order to show their devotion to the late emperor, everyone went there on foot.
After walking for a while, a kowtow ceremony must be held, which involves going back and forth several times.
If it weren't for the pills Jiang Nai secretly handed out to support these people, they would probably have collapsed a lot before they reached Junshan.
Jiang Nai held her mother in the middle of the team and slowly moved forward with the large number of people.
Suddenly, there was a small commotion ahead.
Soon someone brought a girl over and asked the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
"It's Miss Han Si from the Duke's Mansion. She seemed to be feeling unwell and suddenly fainted."
Several ladies gathered together and sighed, "Oh, why are you so young and in such poor health?"
Jiang Nai glanced and saw the fourth girl of the Han family leaning against a tree through the crowd, looking like she was dying.
Naturally, the procession did not stop because of the fourth girl Han. The crowd continued to move forward, leaving only one apprentice from the Imperial Hospital to look after the girl.
Jiang Nai supported her mother, and when they reached the foot of Junshan Mountain, the faces of the noble ladies turned green.
In the past, when these people went up and down the mountain, never did they have to be carried up and down, and why did they have to walk by themselves?
For them to climb this mountain with thousands of stairs would cost them their lives...
It's just that the new monarch and the royal family were in front, and they walked up in this way. The ministers and family members couldn't say a word of nonsense when they were bitter.
Except for a few venerable ministers who were over seventy years old and were carried away on bamboo chairs, the rest had to hike to the top of Junshan Mountain.
Qiu didn't feel tired all the way.
With her daughter holding herself up with only one hand, she felt as if she was walking lightly, as if she didn't have to put any effort on her part.
However, the ladies walking in front of them were panting like old cows, unable to lift themselves up even before they reached the halfway point of the mountain.
Fortunately, a palace maid came to help, and these ladies looked particularly embarrassed.
This trip to Junshan may cost them half their lives...
Jiang Nai was a little speechless and glanced at Mrs. Liu of the Pingshun Prefecture who was shuffling in front of him and his mother.
Mrs. Liu was being helped up the mountain by her eldest daughter Liu Shumei, and she was in a very bad condition.
Although Liu Shumei learned a good skill in riding and shooting in the academy, her foot strength didn't seem to be very good.
At this time, supporting their mother, the two of them walked a little crookedly.
Needless to say, Mrs. Liu's second daughter Liu Shuyi was following behind them.
She was like an old cow dragging a broken cart, panting all the way, stopping every step, and the whole team moved very, very slowly.
Jiang Nai couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
She had really overestimated the wealthy young ladies and their wives before.
According to the speed they are dragging the car at now, I guess it will be good to be able to go up to Junshan before dinner?
