Hongli tightened her hand and said: "I know that the reason why you are so excited is because you care too much about Yonglian and are reluctant to let him go. How can I blame you? It's just that the queen can't let go for a while, and you can't let go either."
Be more considerate.”
"I know." After Xianyue responded, Hongli said: "Let's go, I will take you to Kunning Palace."
"Kunning Palace?" Facing Xia Yue's doubtful gaze, Hongli looked gently and said: "Don't you want to put this painting in the Yonglian coffin?"
Xianyue nodded, and then said: "But the Queen..."
Hongli smiled and said: "When I came, the queen had already rested. She would not know this."
Xianyue choked and knelt down, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"
Hongli helped her up, caressed her thin cheek and said: "I don't know why you refuse to cry, but as Huang's mother said, not crying does not mean that you are not sad. I can indeed see it in your eyes.
The sorrow is even greater than mine."
Xianyue suppressed the sadness in her heart and said: "I don't cry because I am not qualified. The Fucha family is not the only one who killed Yonglian. I want to find a second person for Yonglian so that he can get the real love."
rest in peace."
Hongli didn't expect that this was the reason why Xianyue didn't want to cry. He moved her into his arms and said hoarsely: "It's so hard for you. Yonglian is really lucky to be loved by you so much."
Xianyue did not speak, because she was afraid that if she continued to speak, she would not be able to control the astringency in her eyes. She took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, let's go there now, okay?"
"Okay." Hongli nodded and took Xianyue to Kunning Palace. As expected, Mingyu was not in the palace. Only the palace attendants were kneeling on the ground and crying sadly.
"Open the coffin!" Following Hongli's instructions, Sixi and several internal prisoners removed the coffin lid, revealing Yonglian lying in the coffin. He looked very peaceful, as if he was asleep, but
Xianyue knew that no matter how she called, he would never wake up again.
Xianyue placed the scroll next to Yonglian, then stroked his cold face over and over again, choking and saying: "Yonglian, I'm sorry, my aunt didn't protect you, I'm sorry!"
Hongli said in a solemn voice: "You have tried your best, don't blame yourself anymore, otherwise it will make Yonglian's departure uneasy."
Xianyue was so sad that she couldn't speak. She could only nod her head vigorously and watched the palace officials close the coffin, completely cutting off her fate with Yonglian in this life...
"Let's go, I'll accompany you back." Faced with Hongli's words, Xianyue shook her head and said: "It's enough if Qi Kuan helps me go back. Your Majesty, please go back to Yangxin Hall to rest. You have to supervise orders in the past two days.
The Ministry of Rites prepares Yong Lian's funeral ceremony, and also comforts the emperor and the empress, which is even harder than the concubines."
Hongli stroked his forehead and said painfully: "I can't sleep. As soon as I close my eyes, I will see Yonglian. I have been waiting for Yonglian to inherit everything from me when he grows up, but now... there is nothing."
Xianyue didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only stay with Hongli silently until dawn...
After Yonglian passed away, it was necessary to build the crown prince's mausoleum and bury him in it. The ministers proposed several places, but Hongli did not agree. He wanted to bury Yonglian near his mausoleum, so that the proud son could rest under his knees. However,
Hongli's auspicious place for ten thousand years has not been chosen by anyone, and he does not know where it is. Therefore, Hongli finally placed Yonglian's golden coffin temporarily in the Tiancun Funeral Palace in the west of Beijing until the construction of the prince's mausoleum was completed.
, and then move in.
The autumn of the third year of Qianlong's reign was cast into a haze because of Yong Lian's departure, and Mingyu fell seriously ill on the day Yong Lian moved his coffin and could not bear to be with her.
After Yonghuang followed Xianyue to the Yanxi Palace, although he had not completely recovered from the Fucha incident, his mood became much more stable under Xianyue's enlightenment, and he would go to the study every day to listen to the eunuch.
Fu gave lectures and gradually got used to life in Yanxi Palace.
On this day, he came back from class in the study room. On his way back to Yanxi Palace, he accidentally overheard two palace attendants whispering next to the rockery. He didn't want to hear more, but unexpectedly he accidentally heard three people from "Changchun Palace"
I couldn't help but stop and listen carefully to what they were saying.
It turned out that these two people were the ones responsible for sealing the Changchun Palace. Changchun Palace had always been inhabited by only the Fucha family. After her death, according to the rules, the palace had to be sealed before a new master moved in.
As for the original palace officials, most of them were sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for reassignment, and only a few remained to take charge of daily cleaning. One of the eunuchs shook his head and said: "Those people are really ruthless, and they took everything they could."
After all, I only found a few taels of silver."
The other one said angrily: "You're better off. I searched a lot and found no money. I only found a letter. Do you think it's bad luck or not?"
The silver items recorded in the records are not a secret in the palace.
The previous eunuch asked curiously: "Letter? Letter to whom?"
"There are a few words written on the envelope, but I can't read, so I don't know who to give it to."
"I do know a few words. Bring the letter over and let me take a look." Under his words, the eunuch who just spoke took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over.
"Yours sincerely, Yonghuang." As soon as the eunuch read out the words on the envelope, he quickly covered his mouth and moved his eyes around. Yonghuang is the eldest brother's name, and they must not call him because of their status.
, if someone hears and accuses them before several masters, they will have to shed their skin even if they don't die.
However, the more afraid of something, the more likely it is to come. The eunuch saw Yong Huang standing not far away and looked at them. He immediately panicked and quickly pulled the other eunuch to kneel down and said loudly: "Slave, please see the eldest brother."
, Big Brother, good luck."
Yonghuang walked over, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the letter."
The two of them did not dare to neglect and quickly handed the letter to Yonghuang. When the latter saw the words on the envelope, his pupils shrank slightly. He recognized that it was E Niang's handwriting, which meant... this letter was written by E Niang.
It was given to him. Thinking of the Fucha family, Yonghuang felt sad. He pinched the letter and asked, "Where did you get this letter?"
The eunuch who took out the letter said tremblingly: "When I got back to the eldest brother, I found it in the bedroom. It's all because I didn't know the words on the letter and didn't know it was for the eldest brother. Otherwise, I would have sent it to him early in the morning."
Coming."
Yonghuang ignored his words and only said: "Besides the letter, what else did you find?"
The eunuch replied as he was told: "If I want to reply to my eldest brother, there is nothing else but this letter."
Yong Huang nodded, waved for them to leave, and then opened the letter. As soon as he took a look, he quickly closed the letter and said to the eunuch Chang Fu who had been following him: "I'm a little thirsty. Go make a drink."
Here comes the tea."
Changfu was a little dumbfounded and said: "Brother, I don't know where I can go to make tea in this place. How about we go back to Yanxi Palace first, and I will make tea when we get there."
