If Concubine Xue knew what Xuanyuan Yu had done, she would never be able to get that position in her life, and she might not even be able to keep what she has now. I don’t know how she would feel.
After Concubine Xue entered, concubines came in one after another to express their condolences, and then came the ministers and high-ranking ladies and ladies.
Suddenly, several sad cries came from outside the gate. Following these cries, a group of people came to the mourning hall.
"My dear mother-in-law, why did you suddenly go and ask the old minister with white hair to send the black-haired one away? How could it be a good idea?"
"My dear queen, I didn't even have time to take a last look at you, why did you suddenly disappear..."
"Your Majesty..."
The people who came were Gongsun Yue's parents and other members of Gongsun's family. They all cried so hard that they couldn't help themselves, which made those who heard it feel sad in their hearts.
However, Yun Jingchu had no sympathy at all.
I think of the Xiahou family who have been grieving for so many years because of the unknown whereabouts of Dao's mother and son. I think of the old lady Xiahou who almost went blind from crying. I think of the tears of the Xiahou family that day when they learned that Dao's mother passed away, and the old lady's sad cry.
, it would be impossible for her to show any sympathy to the Gongsun family.
All this is the retribution they deserve.
Therefore, letting Gongsun Yue die was not only an act of retribution to the person who was framed last time but also an act of retribution to what the Gongsun family and Gongsun Yue did to Dao's mother and son.
human body.
However, this is just the beginning.
Yun Jingchu and the other three stayed at Kunning Palace for a whole day, but nothing was gained about the devil man.
They carefully observed everyone who came to express their condolences, but they never found anyone suspected of being a devil man.
For the next seven days, they went to Kunning Palace to guard it, but still did not gain anything.
In the past seven days, Xuanyuan Yu did not show up. Soon after, news came from the Three Princes' Mansion that he was seriously ill and unable to get out of bed.
On the eighth day, Gongsun Yue was buried with the rites of a queen.
The following days seemed calm, but in fact, there was a turbulent undercurrent in the court.
Emperor Ao Xing successively activated people from the Xiahou family. In addition to the old man Xiahou, who was a hereditary Duke of Ping and could participate in the government without appointment, the three sons and four grandsons of the old man Xiahou were all used one after another, occupying different positions in the court.
position.
At the same time, several members of the Gongsun and Xue families who were in positions of real power were promoted and demoted secretly, and were placed in positions of power in name only.
And Xuanyuan Lin didn't know whether it was because he was too sad because he had just lost his mother, or because he was too depressed that his own group was being ignored. He fell ill frequently, frequently asked for leave and did not go to court. In the end, Emperor Aoxing gave special approval, and he could stay at home to recuperate.
, there is no need to ask for leave from him anymore.
Others may not be able to see clearly what happened, but Yun Jingchu and others who knew about it knew very well that the Gongsun family and the Xue family had aroused the disgust of Emperor Ao Xing, and Emperor Ao Xing had begun to suppress them step by step.
All this is going according to the plan of Yun Jingchu and the others, but they still dare not be careless because there is a devil man hiding in the dark that they cannot control. They cannot predict when the devil man will suddenly jump out.
Come out and give them a fatal blow.
However, a month has passed, and there is no movement from the devil man.
However, the more this happened, the more nervous Yun Jingchu and the four others became. Experience told them that the calmer the water surface, the more turbulent the undercurrent below.
