How could it be possible if she didn't have anything to do with Lin Di? What Xiao Tiange didn't understand was why her mother-in-law tried her best to stop her from continuing to investigate? Is even her mother-in-law afraid of Lin Di?
The words of her father, Murong Yi, still rang in her ears: 'Never strike with an egg against a stone...' It seemed as if she suddenly realized that Lin Di was so powerful that not only her, but even her mother, the emperor, was afraid of her.
Her father finally passed away in the summer of that year. This was the result of Crow's efforts to treat him. The disease reached his bones and he was no longer able to survive.
She had already experienced the separation of life and death as early as when she was ten years old. It was a cold winter that year. Although the person who died had no blood relationship with her, she was a woman who had grown up drinking her milk.
There doesn't seem to be much difference between that and the closest relatives, except for the blood line, the same heartache, the same sadness.
The scorching sun above her head was like a furnace, baking the earth. Xiao Tiange faced the scorching sun and knelt outside the gate of the Cloud Appreciation Palace. It had been a whole morning. During this period, the servants of the East Palace came to persuade her, but she did not move at all, still kneeling.
On the ground.
The floor was hot due to the blazing sun, and the knees on the ground hurt like needles. In the end, all the slaves could not hold Xiao Tiange out, so they had to kneel with her outside the gate of the Cloud Appreciation Palace.
Xiao Jingzhu has been inside since receiving the news and has not come out.
Bai Zelan, Xuan Yi, and Chu Yunxuan came over after the incident and also knelt outside the door with Xiao Tiange.
The mistresses of all the palaces came over to express their condolences over Murong Yi's passing. Their faces were all covered with sorrow and sadness. Some of them were sincere, and many were pretending to be sad, but in fact they were very happy in their hearts.
After all, it is well known how Murong Yi won the favor of the empress back then. Now that he is gone, everyone feels as if a thorn in their side has been removed, and there are many palace masters who are secretly relieved.
The tears have dried up, and the pain cannot solve any problem. The so-called culprit is now reflecting in the cold palace.
If at this moment, she went out of her way and rushed to the cold palace to kill the so-called culprit, would she be following that person's tricks?
Chu Yunxuan's body bones have been weak since he was a child. After kneeling under the scorching sun for so long, he was already sweating profusely and his body was swaying.
"Don't kneel down. Go and do what you have to do when you get up. I am here to perform my last filial duty to my father. You don't need to do this!"
Bai Zelan said: "You have been kneeling for so long. It's enough. I think my father's spirit in heaven will not blame you. Why don't we get up together? The emperor has been alone in there for so long. Do you want to go take a look?"
Xiao Tiange raised her head and looked at the palace door covered with black and white silk, but her eyes were particularly calm.
"No, my mother and my father have been married for many years. Now that I suddenly lose my father, I feel more sad than any of us. But in addition to being a wife and the head of a family, she is also the king of a country, so she is destined to have some emotions that she must hide deep.
Deep down in her heart. Now that no one is around her, she can naturally reveal a side that she would not normally show. If we go in, we will only let her keep those feelings in her heart. Furthermore, this is the last journey of her father.
It is also the best to be accompanied by the Queen Mother!"
She had always known that the relationship between her father and mother was excellent, and that kind of relationship was beyond the relationship between an emperor and his ministers. It was just a relationship between husband and wife.
Nowadays, the husband leaves his wife alone and goes on the road alone. The one who left is no longer grieving and sad, but the one who remains in the world is extremely sad because of the loss of his beloved. He misses her so much that he becomes sick every day and his heart is broken.
As for her, Xiao Tiange, as a child, there seems to be nothing more she can do besides this last act of filial piety.
She will definitely catch the real murderer and make him pay a heavy price.
Because he was the beloved emperor of the Empress, the funeral was extremely luxurious, and the scene was comparable to the scenes of the death of emperors and empresses in the past.
Xiao Jingzhu personally witnessed everything, big and small, and even the final burial was handled by her herself.
On that night, Xiao Tiange seemed to have returned to the cold, aloof, ruthless princess she was in people's minds.
She is taciturn, mature and steady, and looks indifferent to everyone, so that no one dares to approach her.
But if you take a closer look, her phoenix eyes are full of too many emotions, including indifference, disdain, arrogance, and unrulyness. Especially when she squints slightly, they reflect a coquettish and dazzling light, evil and charming.
And confuse people's hearts.
On the day of the funeral, the weather had been sunny for many days, but suddenly dark clouds came over, and suddenly there was lightning and thunder, and heavy rain poured down. It seemed that the day was also filled with sadness for Murong Yi's death. The heavy rain fell from the sky like broken beads.
And fall.
It seemed that the injustice was so great that it even cried to the heavens. Because Xiao Jingzhu lost her beloved husband, she had not eaten any food for several days. In addition, she kept vigil day and night. Finally, she could not withstand the attack of illness and became bedridden.
According to the ancestral system and in compliance with the empress's will, the emperor Murong Yi was buried in the east garden of the imperial mausoleum. He was first buried in the empress's tomb. After the empress returned a hundred years ago, the husband and wife were buried together in the same mausoleum.
Originally, this tomb was the one where the Empress and Her Majesty the Empress were buried together. However, because Xiao Jingzhu loved Murong Yi too much, she decided not to change her mind and decided to be buried in the same cave as Murong Yi, despite the objections of the ministers.
Although they cannot live and die together, after death, their bones can be buried in the same place, and they can stay together forever in all future generations, and no one can separate them again.
Her father-in-law had such a loving wife as her mother-in-law. Even though he was the lord of the country and had three thousand beauties in the harem, he still had an infatuated and affectionate love for him.
What about her? If she unfortunately dies in the future, will any of her husbands be as affectionate to her as her mother?
It rained so hard during the day that the road to the imperial mausoleum was muddy and full of potholes. As Murong Yi's only descendant, and as his daughter, she naturally had the duty to send him all the way there.
Among the mausoleums.
After the burial, the weather, which had been raining heavily, suddenly cleared up. People say that the weather in summer is like a moody child, crying and laughing at times.
After the afternoon, the gloomy weather suddenly turned bright and bright, and the raging sun once again baked the entire earth.
As soon as Xiao Jingzhu fell ill, the affairs of the previous dynasty naturally fell on Xiao Tiange and several assistant ministers. On the other hand, Lin Di's gang members were also ready to make a move.
Once he knew that Xiao Jingzhu wanted to bury Murong Yi in the mausoleum that should belong to him, Lin Di became furious and even went into a rage in Fengxia Palace.
"Brother, don't you always teach me that I must be patient in everything? How do you, the emperor and empress of a country, care about that dead man?"
