Li Hao was not sure and looked left and right a few more times.
Among all the princes, Mu Tingyu, who is not tall but handsome, is usually in the most conspicuous position.
Yu Shiling was not seen either. As the head of the officials, it was difficult to confirm whether he appeared.
On this occasion, even if he was so sick that he could only breathe, he should be there, unless he was paralyzed in bed like Zhugeshan and couldn't even relieve himself.
As soon as this idea came up, Li Hao frowned.
Who did he see? Wasn't it Zhuge Shan?
Zhuge Shan knelt in front of the crowd. He was dressed in white. His appearance was swollen and his face was a little swollen, but he looked in good spirits.
Compared with the officials behind him who were covering their faces with tears in their eyes, his back was slightly straighter and his face had no expression.
This... what should have appeared did not appear, what should not have appeared, appeared instead?
People knelt down both sides of the Royal Street, shouting like a tsunami of mourning to bid farewell to Queen Nangong.
Zi Palace walked slowly, and all the officials stood up to follow. They walked behind the carriage with their heads lowered, and at the end, they were still waving the same white flags.
As he walked quickly out of Yujie, Li Hao turned his head and looked at his followers who were following him.
He quickly stepped forward and bowed his head.
Li Hao whispered: "Quickly check the current whereabouts of Yu Shiling and Mu Tingyu."
"yes."
Li Ze, who was following behind, watched this personal attendant leave and said, "Brother Emperor, what's wrong?"
Li Hao looked unkind: "Yu Shiling didn't come, Mu Tingyu didn't come, and Wei Yaojun and the others are not here."
Li Ze was stunned for a moment: "Such a big day didn't come?"
"I don't know." Li Hao said, feeling vaguely that something was wrong.
Yu Shiling is a well-known old fox. He is smooth and does nothing wrong. Apart from having many friends and associates, there is nothing wrong with him.
Moreover, it is not wrong to have many party members and friends. Although one forms a party, one does not pursue selfish interests.
This group of people are usually neither greedy nor aggressive, and do nothing wrong.
Old foxes like them would never be absent on a day like this.
·
Li Hao was not the only one who discovered that Yu Shiling and others had not arrived.
In less than a cup of tea, the news was sent to the palace.
In the Daqian ritual system, the emperor and the empress were in the same relationship. The emperor could not send off the deceased empress in person with the ceremonial guard, especially the death of empress Nangong, which was a tragic loss.
When the news came, Li Ju was writing the Longevity Talisman in the Prayer Hall. He paused with the pen in his hand, suspecting that he had heard wrongly: "Yu Shiling and others are not here?"
"I'm sure you're not here, Your Majesty." Xun Fei said.
Li Ju's face changed slightly. Seeing the ink on the tip of the pen staining the white paper, he placed the ink pen on the inkstone and said in a deep voice: "If one of them doesn't come, it can be called a disease. If two or three don't come, it's impudent."
As soon as the word "unbridled" came out, the surrounding chamberlains all knelt down.
Xun Fei said: "Your Majesty, can you send someone to arrest me?"
"Arrest him today? Do you want the world to laugh at him? Just send people to keep an eye on his various mansions."
"Yes! Then, Mu Xiaoshizi..."
"He's really weird." Li Ju said with a frown.
In recent months, although Mu Tingyu has failed several times, he has always been loyal, and Li Ju has no doubt.
If Yu Shiling is conservative, Mu Tingyu is just the opposite. He is an extremely greedy person who likes to fight for success.
Positive, proactive, bold, daring, and always wanting to show off, he is the last person to be absent from such an occasion.
Xun Fei paused and suddenly said: "Your Majesty... Mr. Mu, will something happen?"
Li Ju looked and said, "What do you mean?"
"If he suddenly contracted a serious illness, he would definitely send someone to the palace to plead guilty. Now that he is silent, the only explanation is..."
Li Ju suddenly became irritable: "Immediately send someone to Rongguo Duke's Mansion to ask questions."
"yes!"

Streets and streets were chanting "The Queen is a thousand years old", "The Queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old" and "Farewell to the Queen", which made Yang Guanxian doze off again and again.
He likes this store so much.
This store is exactly the same as the Zuixian Building he had in Beijing back then, down to the details of the tables, chairs and benches.
Yang Guanxian likes big counters and thinks they are grand, and the counter here is also very big.
He lay upright on it and could even turn over, so there was more than enough space.
Mu Tingyu was sitting crookedly in the middle of the lobby, being interrogated.
His two short legs were crossed on a long bench, and he was twiddling his fingers with a bored expression.
His bored look looked like a catastrophe to the waiters who were kneeling on the floor.
Mu Tingyu had all kinds of tricks. He wore a handsome face and a harmless smile, but he did cruel and inhumane things.
The shouts coming from outside were just enough to cover up their screams. The guys desperately begged for mercy, saying they didn't know anything.
A person suddenly came in from outside the side door and closed the door quickly and neatly.
Mu Tingyu raised his eyelids and looked, "Is there a visitor in the house?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the people from the palace are really here."
Mu Tingyu was silent for a moment and sighed: "You did it according to my instructions, right?"
"Well, there are only two guards here, so they are easy to deal with and they are arrested."
"Did you hit him?"
"I'll beat you until you don't even recognize your mother!"
"Alas." Mu Tingyu sighed.
The entourage looked at Yang Guanxian who was snoring on the counter, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, are we really not going to run away? It's still too late to pack up and leave now."
Mu Tingyu asked: "Everyone in the family is hiding?"
"Well, let's all disperse and go to your villas separately."
Mu Tingyu shook his head and sighed: "My prince is kind-hearted and I don't want to harm them. I am really a good person."
"Your Majesty, are we really not going to run away? If we are caught by the Emperor, then..."
Before he finished speaking, Mu Tingyu himself made a knife gesture in front of his neck, and even said a dubbing: "Kah!"
"Uh, Prince..."
"Don't worry," Mu Tingyu said, "Don't forget who I'm hanging out with now."
"It's Miss Ali." She whispered.
"Lu Mingfeng was defeated by her. That's Lu Mingfeng. Moreover, I have witnessed her various methods with my own eyes. Do you know how brave and powerful she is?"
"You are very powerful. I can see clearly by looking at your appearance now, Prince."
Mu Tingyu leaned back in his chair and suddenly grinned: "I'm going to test you. Why don't you think Miss A Li takes action today?"
"Why?"
Mu Tingyu's handsome eyes narrowed slightly, and he sighed with a smile: "She is giving the last dignity to Queen Nangong. After all, this is the last funeral of Daqian. In the future, there will be a mark in the history."
As he said that, he looked back at the waiters kneeling in front of him and pointed at the three of them: "Just these three, arrest them."
After being accused, the three people opened their eyes wide and shouted that they were wronged.
Mu Tingyu said impatiently: "If you are wronged, then you are wronged. I see that you are not good people. Take them away."
He raised his legs, got up from the chair, and went to find Yang Guanxian.
Seeing Yang Guanxian sleeping soundly, Mu Tingyu found an Eight Immortals table nearby and sat down, asking the other waiters to make him a pot of tea, and drank it slowly.
