Three days had passed when the news was rushed 800 miles to the emperor who was still rushing to Mount Tai.
Although he already knew her fate, when he heard the news, the emperor remained silent for most of the day.
Lunch is useless.
Dong Yuzhong stood outside the door and looked inside anxiously. Originally, they were supposed to continue on their way today.
But after receiving the news, the emperor stayed in the palace room and refused to go out.
So no one dared to urge me.
When Concubine Lin came to pay her respects, she happened to encounter this scene.
I saw that the meals nearby were not delivered.
He immediately frowned and asked.
"Your Majesty, don't you still want to use it?"
"Well, your Majesty came just in time. The Emperor has not eaten for half a day. Even if he is worried about his Majesty Lan Fei, he also has to take care of his own health. If he gets sick after all this trouble, he will be in trouble."
When they went out this time, they brought several imperial doctors with them.
But none of them are as good as Dr. Dou's superb medical skills.
If the emperor really made a mistake, wouldn't the Wei Dynasty be in chaos?
We haven't reached Mount Tai yet, that's all.
It was also very difficult for him to handle.
If it were in the past, Concubine Lin would naturally be the first to come in and persuade her.
But now, she could feel that the emperor was no longer treating her as before.
If she blindly disobeys the emperor's will, I'm afraid she won't get any good results.
This time I was able to follow the emperor on his inspection tour of Mount Tai. This was something that my great-uncle had made great efforts to achieve.
She didn't want to affect the overall situation for the sake of a dead Concubine Lan!
He stood at the door and said to Dong Yuzhong.
"Prince Zhan still has something to tell me, so I left first. Eunuch Dong should do his best to serve the Holy Master. How can we do this without eating?"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Dong Yuzhong was left dumbfounded.
How could he, a slave, not know what to do without eating?
But now, what can the emperor do if he doesn't eat him?
It would be great if Little Master Lin was here. Every time the emperor goes to her palace, he always uses more.
But I wanted to think about it, but there was nothing I could do.
I can only bite the bullet and prepare to knock on the door again.
Unexpectedly, a man walked up outside with his head held high. It was the Fourth Prince whom he had not seen for many days.
Behind him was a group of soldiers, including Lin Xingzhi and Jiang Huanqing.
A crowd of people came here in a hurry.
When Dong Yuzhong saw the Fourth Prince, his expression relaxed a lot.
Since the fourth prince is here, the emperor probably wants to give him face and eat something.
So he hurried forward to salute the Fourth Prince.
"I have met the Fourth Prince and wish him well."
"Eunuch Dong, there is no need to be polite. Please come and get up quickly."
Although the fourth prince grew up in the royal family, his years of military camp life have made him care little about these red tapes.
After all, in the army, those who can fight are the ones who are most valued. Such rhetoric is useless.
"Where is the Emperor?"
The fourth prince asked curiously, and he rushed over with five thousand elite soldiers in order to protect the emperor's next trip.
Dong Yuzhong had to sigh after hearing this.
"The fourth prince came just in time. Your Majesty... he has locked himself in the room for a long time. He has not eaten or drank. How can his body bear it?"
The fourth prince frowned and looked at Dong Yuzhong, as if doubting the authenticity of these words.
After all, in his opinion, the emperor has a strong body that has been trained since childhood, so why is it like this?
"what happened?"
Dong Yuzhong sighed and said.
"There is news from the palace that Concubine Lan has died of illness."
Died of illness?
Why was it that the last time we met, he was still fine, but now he died of illness?
The fourth prince's doubts fell in Dong Yuzhong's eyes, so he opened his mouth to explain.
"When I was in the palace in July, Concubine Lan gave birth to the second princess, but she was injured. Since then, she has been lingering on the bedside, and now..."
It turns out that this woman had to pass through the gate of hell after giving birth.
There are often those who cannot survive.
It's just a pity that the second princess was born without a mother.
When Lin Xing, one of the guards, heard this, his heart was in his throat.
This powerful concubine actually died of illness due to dystocia. Then, as a little concubine, would she have to suffer a lot in the harem?
When he thought of this, he blamed himself even more.
If he could have joined the Imperial Army a few years earlier, he wouldn't have made his family so passive.
Qian Qian can live a comfortable life in the palace.
The solemn look on his face fell into the eyes of Jiang Huanqing, who was beside him, and he was also worried about it.
Although he and Lin Wanyi did not know each other, Lin Xingzhi was the brother he remembered in his heart.
If this brother's sister is in trouble, his own sister is in trouble.
So I was very concerned about it.
The fourth prince and his people were talking to Dong Yuzhong at the door, and soon the emperor's voice came from the room.
With a bit of fatigue and a bit of sadness.
"Is Uncle Si Wang here?"
"Back to the emperor, it's an old minister who has brought five thousand elite soldiers to escort him."
"Uncle Wang, come in, I have something to tell you."
"yes."
The fourth prince rushed over in a hurry. He was still fully armed with armor and sword.
He pulled off the sword on his left side, handed it to Dong Yuzhong, and then entered the house alone.
The windows have not been opened for ventilation in this house for a long time, so the smell of incense is a bit strong.
For someone like the Fourth Prince who stays in the military camp all year round, this is a bit unpleasant.
But he still held back.
After all, the emperor is now...
It's quite excusable.
"I have seen the emperor and wish him well."
"Uncle Si Wang, there is no need to be too polite."
When the fourth prince stood up and saw the emperor, he frowned even more.
It was only a short day for the emperor to see that there were a lot of green beards that had just sprouted on his cheeks.
Even his face is not good-looking, and he doesn't have the power of the emperor in the past.
So he said comfortingly.
"Life and death are matters of fate. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. The main thing is to take care of the dragon body."
The emperor said "hmm".
Then he asked Dong Yuzhong to come in and said.
"It is my decree that Concubine Lan of Jin is a noble concubine. All funeral rites will be carried out according to the rites of a concubine. Concubine Yi will be notified separately. Concubine Lan's funeral must be done in a more honorable manner."
"Yes, I obey."
All the talk about receiving honors and favors after death is a matter for later.
The Fourth Prince listened on the sidelines without saying much.
After all, she was the one who gave birth to a princess for the royal family, so becoming a noble concubine was no big deal.
But I'm afraid this harem situation is going to change again.
In the past, Concubine Lin, Concubine Yi and Concubine Lan were three pillars.
But now, Concubine Lin is accompanying her, Concubine Lan has died of illness, and Concubine Yi is the only one in the harem.
This harem matter is also related to the affairs of the previous dynasty, so we cannot relax at all.
So just as he was about to say something to remind him, the emperor paused and said again.
