In the city of Nala, although she was filled with hatred in her heart, she didn't show any of it on her face. She still maintained the sad look just now. She knelt down and whispered: "If Concubine Xi is alive in heaven, she will see that the emperor is so sad."
Serious, even if there is any resentment
, have all disappeared, and I will definitely not blame the emperor anymore. I beg the emperor to get up quickly and stop torturing yourself. If the dragon body is damaged, please tell me what to do, so that thousands of people in the Qing Dynasty can do it.
What should Wan’s people do?”
Yinzhen didn't say anything, he just held Ling Ruo and cried bitterly. In the past forty years, he had never regretted it as much as he did today. He was so smart. He was really smart. All of this was God's retribution for him.
The heavy snow is still falling continuously, and the joys, sorrows, and joys of the human world cannot affect God. Everything is still as before, dark when the sun sets, and bright when the sun rises.
But for Yinzhen, who indirectly killed Ling Ruo and her unborn child, from this day on, his life would no longer be bright, only boundless darkness.
Yinzhen stayed in Chengqian Palace until the next day, hoping that Ling Ruo could wake up after the fake medicine had expired. Unfortunately, it was just a wishful thinking. There was no miracle. If there was one, it would be that even after one day, Ling Ruo could not wake up.
Ruo's body never showed any stiffness, it was always as soft as before life, but it only stopped there, without any signs of resurrection from the dead.
Under Nala's repeated persuasion, the grief-stricken Yinzhen finally accepted the reality that Ling Ruo was dead and ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare the funeral. When Qian Moduo asked Yinzhen how he should bury the man who had been deposed as a commoner.
When Niu Hulu was married, Yinzhen stroked Ling Ruo's cold cheek and said word for word: "Bury with the Queen's rites!"
As soon as this statement came out, not to mention Qian Moduo, even the Nala clan was shocked. The concubine may be posthumously granted a posthumous title, or even buried with a standard that exceeds her own status, but at most she is an imperial concubine, and from then on
None of the concubines were buried with the royal rites. This was no longer against the rules, but unbelievable. But Nala felt that the unbelievable things were still to come.
Qian Moduo was shocked when he heard what Yinzhen said. It was inappropriate to posthumously confer a concubine with the queen's ceremony while the queen was still there. Thinking of this, he boldly said: "Your Majesty
, Concubine Xi is only a third-grade concubine, will it be a bit strange to be buried as a queen in the future..."
"Is there something wrong?" Yinzhen took Qian Moduo's words coldly and said immediately: "In this case, I will make Concubine Xi the queen, so that everything will be justified."
Posthumous title of queen? Qian Moduo was stunned on the spot, unable to recover for a long time. Except for those who were designated as empresses during their lifetime, only those who gave birth to an heir and whose son ascended the throne as emperor could be posthumously crowned as queen. Niu Hulu's family
He had been dethroned as a commoner during his lifetime and had no heirs. How could he be granted the title of empress, not to mention that the empress was still in good health?
On the other side, Nala's face also became ugly. Is Yinzhen crazy? She actually wants to pursue the sage Niu Hulu as his queen. Why should she? Why? And with this decree, she will definitely fall.
She was the laughing stock of the world, saying that she was a queen in name only, but the emperor still made her a queen in name even though she was still alive.
The strong jealousy in her heart made Nala almost go crazy, but she still had to bear it, because if she couldn't bear it, she would have nothing.
After Qian Moduo was stunned for a long time, he came back to his senses and said: "Concubine Xi...how can she pursue the title of queen?"
"It's okay if I say it's not possible, or I must get the consent of your money manager." When he said this, Yinzhen's tone was extremely unkind, and Qian Moduo was so scared that he lowered his head and did not dare to continue.
Talk too much.
Seeing that Qian Moduo didn't speak, Yinzhen turned his eyes and landed on Nala's face, "Does the queen also think that it is inappropriate for me to do this?"
Nala quickly controlled the expression on her face and said with an apologetic smile: "I know that the emperor attaches great importance to my sister, Concubine Xi. Now that my sister, Concubine Xi, has suffered a misfortune, it is only natural for the emperor to posthumously make her his queen in grief. How could I do that?"
It doesn’t feel right.”
"As long as the Queen thinks so." After saying this, Yinzhen said coldly: "Qian Moduo, why don't you go and do things according to my instructions!"
"Slave, I obey!" Although Qian Moduo still felt that something was wrong in his heart, he had no room to speak on this matter, so he agreed and retreated.
Shortly after she retired, Nala thought carefully and said: "The emperor wants to pursue the title of Concubine Xi, and I agree with it, but after all, Concubine Xi is only a third-grade concubine. If she rashly pursues the title, I am afraid that the court will
The ministers will complain, and when the time comes to report the impeachment matter, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome."
Yinzhen said without thinking: "If they want to impeach, they can impeach me. I have made my decision and no one can change it. Besides, Hongli was originally my preferred candidate for the throne, but unfortunately he suffered and failed to inherit my throne. Now
What's wrong with me giving him the title of Eniang?"
"I can certainly understand the emperor's affection and love, but if the courtiers and officials don't know that, I'm afraid they will misunderstand the emperor, and even vent their anger on Concubine Xi. If this is the case, then it won't be worth the loss. So.
According to my concubine’s opinion, it would be better to pursue Concubine Xi’s sister as the imperial concubine.
However, the funeral should be held according to the Queen's regulations, so that we can have the best of both worlds." Nala gritted her teeth and said these words, which were the biggest concession for her, although she was still very unhappy.
, but this way you can at least save your own face and avoid becoming the laughing stock of others.
"There is no need to go to such trouble. Just follow what I just said and posthumously confer the title of empress. I will formally issue the decree and choose a posthumous title for Concubine Xi." Yinzhen's refusal made Nala's face turn blue and white.
Then he added: "Please step aside first, I want to be alone with Concubine Xi."
Nala bowed helplessly and said, "Yes, I obey your order."
After Nala retreated, Yinzhen stroked Ling Ruo's cheek and choked up: "Ruo'er, I know that even if I make you queen, I can't make up for my debt to you, but this... is the only thing I can do
I've given you something. I'm really... really sorry for you. If I can meet you again in the next life, I will use everything I have
Make it up to you and your child. Ruo'er, my Ruo'er..." He leaned over Ling Ruo, his voice filled with endless nostalgia. From now on, there will be no one named Niu Hulu Ling Ruo.
The woman stayed with him without any regrets, but he could only go on alone until the moment of death.
"I prayed to God that my life would be shortened by ten years in exchange for your rebirth so that I could compensate you. Unfortunately, God refused to give me this opportunity. He wanted me to live in regrets for the rest of my life." When I said this, I burst into tears.
The tears kept rolling down from the corners of her eyes and dripped on Ling Ruo's collar. The plum blossoms on her collar were stained with tears. While they looked more and more red, they also conveyed a sense of desolation.
It's a pity that no matter how many regrets and tears are, it's useless, there's no turning back...
