When Jiang Miao's reply arrived, the princess's body had not yet been buried.
The King of Xixia wanted to bury her in the imperial mausoleum and wait for the two of them to join the coffin a hundred years later. However, as soon as he expressed his idea, he was refuted by all the civil and military officials, especially the Queen's natal family. Regardless of his old age and frailty, Grand Master Zhou personally buried her in the coffin.
I knelt down and begged the king to take back his life.
Historically, only the emperor and his wife could close the coffin. He just buried a princess in the imperial mausoleum, but he also occupied the queen's place. How could Taishi Zhou endure this?
Now that the queen is the only one in the harem, and there is a prince in the previous dynasty who is legitimately the only heir, when Yuxian dies, Tuoba Mingge is no longer a threat. This decision of the King of Xixia is to put the face of the queen, prince and his Zhou family to the ground.
Step on.
Faced with the rebuttals of his ministers, the King of Xixia turned black and stayed in Xiufang Palace for a long time without leaving.
He didn't get the princess's heart when she was alive, and he couldn't get her even after her death.
The King of Xixia caressed the woman's face on the bed, with a self-deprecating smile on his lips.
"Xian'er, I have gained everything, but I can't achieve perfection only with you. Do you think this is God's punishment for me..."
The means by which he came to power were not fair and square. When he was young, he was brutal. In order to secure his position, he killed many loyal ministers and common people.
As an emperor, he had never regretted anything, but now, facing the body of his beloved woman, he tasted regret for the first time.
"They won't let you share the coffin with me. You will be very happy, happy to be able to get rid of me..."
He leaned slightly, staring at her face with paranoid and gentle eyes, and traced her temples with his fingers. He had seen this face for decades, but he had never seen enough.
But now, he wanted to put her to rest, and the King of Xixia felt reluctant to let her go. He stood up slightly, and his thin lips fell on her forehead, leaving a gentle kiss.
"Xian'er, wait for me."
After he has finished handling Xixia's affairs, he will go find her. Xian'er must wait for him at Naihe Bridge. Don't forget him.
Mammy stood behind the door curtain, watching the movements of the King of Xixia in the room, she couldn't help but cover her mouth.
The king's infatuation for her master was seen by all the servants like them.
But her master is a strong man. If he doesn't like her, he just doesn't like her. No amount of affection can make up for the initial hurt.
Mammy felt sad in her heart. She just wanted to take her master away now. She couldn't fulfill her wish during her lifetime, and she couldn't leave any regrets after her death.
She was anxious in her heart. It was hot today and her master's body would not be preserved for long. Now the King of Xixia and the court officials were pulling the strings. By the time the King of Xixia made the decision to bury her master, it would be too late for her to mention leaving.
Mammy had asked Guo Zhao for help before. Counting the days, there should be news.
The King of Xixia left the Xiufang Palace with solemn eyes. He had already made a decision in his heart. When he left, the pressure was released. Mammy was stunned and had a bad premonition.
Her master wants to leave as soon as possible!
Sure enough, the King of Xixia finally lost to the objections of the ministers and decided to bury the princess in a mausoleum on the side of the imperial mausoleum. Although they could not share the coffin, at least they could be next to each other after death.
Although the queen was still unwilling to give in, this was already the best result. She smashed a few more cups, and the anger in her heart subsided a little.
"Master, I heard that the nun next to the princess once went to find someone from Dayan. I think something will happen."
Aunt Zhou had her eye in the palace, and since they were both the most useful nuns around the master, she paid a lot of attention to the person next to the princess.
Even the King of Xixia didn't know that Nanny had gone to see Guo Zhao, but Nanny Zhou got the news first.
The queen was surprised, "Why did she go to see General Guo?"
Mammy asked all the maids in the palace to go out. She leaned slightly and whispered in the queen's ear.
"I heard that the princess wanted to return to her hometown, but the king didn't want to. Aunt Yu wanted to fulfill her master's last wish, so she had to go to the Yan people."
Thinking of this, Nanny Zhou was not worthy of her master.
The Jade Princess hated the emperor's favor for half her life, but it was something her master couldn't ask for.
Sure enough, after hearing what Aunt Zhou said, the Queen was so angry that she broke one of her fingernails into pieces, and her eyes were scarlet with strong jealousy.
"Since she doesn't want to stay, then I will help her and help her leave!"
Compared to the princess, she didn't want to have someone else by her side a hundred years later. She was the queen and deserved to have the most noble status in the world.
When Yuxian was alive, she couldn't compete with her, but after she died, she could make a big fuss.
A sly smile appeared on the corner of the queen's lips, and she whispered a few instructions to Aunt Zhou.
"Yes, I'll do it now, old slave."
In the main hall, as soon as the King of Xixia announced his decision to the princess to the courtiers, Guo Zhao stood up from the crowd.
As a powerful second-grade general of Dayan, even the King of Xixia looked shorter than him when he saw him.
The King of Xixia would naturally obey his words.
Guo Zhao, following Jiang Miao's orders, would definitely leave with the princess's body this time.
"Your Majesty, Princess Jade is from Dayan. Guo heard that she has always been homesick and wanted to return to Yuncheng after her death. Dayan emphasizes returning fallen leaves to their roots. Since the princess has an unfulfilled wish, Guo happened to take her away.
Yan will be guarded by a hundred thousand troops, and Guo will escort Princess Jade back to Yuncheng!"
"this……"
As soon as Guo Zhao's words came out, the face of the King of Xixia turned completely dark, and the faces of all the ministers in the hall also turned ugly.
Not to mention that their princess was only thinking about Dayan, and even wanted to return to her hometown after death.
Some senior ministers knew about the entanglement between the King of Xixia and the princess, but they didn’t expect that after so many years, he could not make the princess fall in love with him. This emperor was brave and resourceful, but he was too paranoid emotionally, otherwise he would not be able to abandon him.
Queen, she wants to be buried in a coffin with a princess.
The King of Xixia clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and swallowed the bloody smell in his mouth.
"Yuxian is my beloved concubine. She will be buried with me after her death. If she wants to return to Yuncheng, I will have someone dig up a handful of soil and put it in the coffin."
As for returning to Yuncheng, it is absolutely impossible!
His attitude was firm, but Guo Zhao would not be easily persuaded.
Not to mention that this was an order given by Jiang Miao himself. In Guo Zhao's case, Jiang Miao's words are more effective than Zhao Jing's.
The two struggled for a long time, and Guo Zhao did not hesitate to take out the gunpowder bag, but almost robbed him. The civil and military ministers of the court were frightened, and they all knelt on the ground and begged the King of Xixia to let go.
Compared with a dead woman, there is no way Xixia is more important. They finally begged Dayan for peaceful subjugation. If they offend this mighty general again, it is hard to say whether they can leave the palace alive.
The King of Xixia was held there. No matter how many thoughts he had, he could not say anything, so he could only grit his teeth and agree.
"Okay, Princess Jade will return to Yuncheng for burial!"
