Chapter 267: There are no tigers in the mountains anymore
The study room of Qingyan Hall in Kyushu was dimly lit, and Shu Jin couldn't see Yongzheng's face clearly - well, she didn't dare to look up.
"The Queen Mother died with a smile on her face. Please forgive me and accept the change." Shu Jin simply reported the work.
That's what you meant when you asked me to help the Queen Mother change her clothes, right?
Emperor Yongzheng in the shadow was silent for a while and then said: "The noble concubine has done a good job."
"The funeral ceremony of the Queen Mother——" Shu Jin carefully asked for instructions.
Yongzheng sighed quietly, "The funeral will be held tomorrow, and I will order Prince Lu to preside over it. The imperial concubine will just take care of the harem."
Shu Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, I obey your order."
Although the funeral was tomorrow, since the Queen Mother passed away, someone had to keep vigil tonight. As the highest-ranking concubine in the harem, Shu Jin naturally couldn't escape, but she still got lazy and arranged for her to keep vigil in the first half of the night. Concubine Mao led a few
A little concubine kept watch for the rest of the night.
Starting from tomorrow, you have to kneel down for seven days. If you don't get a good sleep, how can you survive?
To be honest, there are quite a few women with inner lives who are kneeling in the spirit. Shu Jin does not dare to release Concubine Dun and Concubine Ning due to their mental state. And Concubine Xi who is imprisoned in the Forbidden City... Shu Jin is stupid for mentioning her. Okay.
There are many concubines below nobles, and they can be counted.
With the addition of a bunch of princes and princesses, it was quite an atmosphere for a room full of people, wailing and crying.
It's a pity that every one of them was brought to tears with a handkerchief soaked in ginger juice.
Poor little Princess Funkriyirha, her eyes were all red from being rubbed by Concubine Mao, and she looked like a little rabbit.
As a funeral professional, Prince Lu sent Empress Dowager Wuya away in a dignified manner.
Then Yongzheng unloaded the mill and killed the donkey.
Yongzheng questioned Prince Lu on the grounds of embezzlement of money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In fact, this matter is not considered slander.
But to be fair, if this funeral was to be held decently, how could it be possible to keep the expenses within the budget? Prince Lu didn’t put anything into his own pocket!
Yongzheng's behavior is purely nitpicking.
Anyway, before the 100 days of national mourning passed, the Empress Dowager wiped the name of Prince Lu into Dorobele.
Shu Jin couldn't help crying tears of sympathy for this resentful younger brother.
By the way, this Twelfth Master just got Niu Hulu's surname wrong back then. Did Yongzheng hold such a grudge?
Shu Jin couldn't help but think hard. Did Prince Lu do something bad in his previous life...that is, in history?
Hmm...it seems to be related to Hongshi?
I remember that in the original historical track, Hongshi interceded with the eighth master Yunhu, but Yongzheng was angered. Hongshi had his red belt cut off, and then he was sent to Prince Lu's house for upbringing? Then Hongshi died.
It seems that because of this, some people suspect that Yongzheng killed his son.
Shu Jin didn't think so.
Although Yongzheng was vicious and suspicious, he did not do anything to Hongshi after he was reborn. Instead, he first killed the Eighth Master to prevent future troubles. Now that he is dealing with the Twelfth Master, it is somewhat intended to prevent future troubles.
Could it be that... Prince Lu secretly took refuge in Hongli in history, so he secretly killed Hongshi?
But if this is really the case, with Yongzheng's temperament, how could he allow Prince Lu to survive?
This twelfth master would definitely not dare to directly kill the prince, but he could stimulate and guide Hongshi to death of despair.
In this way, it is a matter of course. It is no wonder that this twelfth master was once brilliant in the Qianlong Dynasty and even sat in the position of prince.
If you put it this way, wouldn't Hongli be missing another arm?
Is it a good thing for her and Hong Zhou?
On this day, it was clear after the snow. Concubine Mao and Concubine Mi came to Shujin's Danning Hall to have tea. It was the time of national mourning, so Shujin's Danning Hall had removed many gorgeous decorations, and even the curtains were plain.
.
Concubine Mao slowly took a sip of milk tea and couldn't help complaining: "You didn't tell me the truth on the day the Queen Mother died! I just find it strange, how could the Queen Mother die peacefully?"
Shu Jin smiled: "There were so many people present at that time, how could we explain it clearly?"
Concubine Mi also covered her lips and smiled, "That's right! Now everyone praises the Emperor for his filial piety, the Queen Mother for her kindness, and finally the mother and son have settled their differences."
Concubine Mao's old face swelled slightly, "Forget it, forget it, I won't mention this matter again."
Shu Jin thought to himself, it was obviously you who mentioned it.
Concubine Mao knocked on her knees, "At least from now on, we can live a peaceful life for a few days." There is no need to worry that the Queen Mother will be sick again that day, and they will have to go to the hospital to receive training.
Yes, the last boss in the harem has died, and there are no tigers in the mountain anymore. Shu Jin, the noble concubine, can definitely act as the king.
Concubine Mi suddenly said in a low voice: "I heard that Concubine Xi in the palace copied a lot of blood scriptures for the Queen Mother's salvation, and even asked Fourth Brother to send them to the emperor!"
Shu Jin couldn't help but laugh, her efforts were in vain.
Concubine Mao also said: "I heard that the emperor gave Xi Bi a handwritten Buddhist scripture as a reward. Does the emperor...do you intend to forgive Xi Bi?"
Shu Jin said calmly: "The emperor thinks that she has done a good job in copying the scriptures, so he wants Concubine Xi to continue copying."
Mao Fei:......
Mi Concubine:......
Shu Jin smiled and said: "I'm afraid Xibi was deceived by those lies about mother and son settling their feud!" But he didn't even think about it. The empress dowager and Yongzheng had been feuding for most of their lives. How could it be resolved so easily?
It's just that the emperor couldn't openly blame Xi Concubine for her "filial piety", so he had to use this method to beat Xi Concubine.
Concubine Mi couldn't help but think of the terrifying look of the Queen Mother on her deathbed, and couldn't help but nodded, "Concubine Xi didn't see the look of the Queen Mother on her deathbed, tsk tsk!"
Concubine Mao: So what did the Queen Mother look like before she died?! I just don’t know, right?!
Concubine Mao looked unhappy.
Mi Bin couldn't help but said: "It's better that my sister didn't see it, so as not to be frightened and unable to sleep."
Concubine Mao said angrily: "It's not like I've never seen dead people before, so there's nothing to be afraid of!"
Concubine Mi was speechless for a while. Didn't you see how the imperial concubine took care of the Queen Mother's remains...
Shu Jin said helplessly: "Didn't you say you won't mention this issue?"
Concubine Mao couldn't help but choke.
At this time, the leader eunuch Zhang Shoufa walked in quickly and said to Qian'er: "Empress, the man from Fuchun Palace... wants to see you."
Shu Jin looked weird. Little Nian Gao wants to see me, so I have to go see her?!
After finally seeing off the Queen Mother, I have only had a few days of free time. What trouble is she going to cause?
Zhang Shoufa whispered: "Concubine Dun... I'm afraid she will die soon."
Shu Jin was stunned, the little rice cake is about to die?
Concubine Mao raised her eyebrows, showing a somewhat unlucky look, "It's not easy for her body to be able to hold on until now."
Shu Jin was silent for a moment, "Why does she want to see me? At this time, doesn't she want to see the emperor?"
Zhang Shoufa said: "Fu Chun Palace has never made such a request."
Concubine Mi frowned: "Is she dying and still thinking about plotting against the imperial concubine?"
Shu Jin smiled bitterly: "That's not the case. I have never treated her badly."
Concubine Mao nodded and said: "Yes, during the year of her confinement, you have not given her enough food, clothing and chews. You have also opened up all the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum for her to use." - Otherwise, Concubine Dun's body would be too weak.
Can't survive now.
Shu Jin sighed: "That's all, I'll just go and see her."
It is very pitiful for a beauty as beautiful as a flower and at such a young age.
