Concubine Yun came to express condolences to Yao Xian on the fifth day after Yao Xian passed away. She would not admit that she had not come in the previous five days because she did not want to accept the fact that Yao Xian had passed away. To her, this news was like
The bad news was so bad that in the first few days, she thought that everyone in Prince Chun's Palace was lying to her and joking with her. She punished several servants in an attempt to stop people's mouths, but
Facts are facts after all. After struggling for five days, Yun Pianpian had to admit that the news was true.
She came to the Yao Mansion dressed in white. When she got off the palace car, the people knelt down to greet her. They couldn't help being surprised when they saw Concubine Yun dressed like this.
That is not an ordinary white dress! It is a mourning dress, which is only worn by children and juniors. Concubine Yun is an imperial concubine, why does she wear such a dress to mourn Yao Xian?
Concubine Yun walked to Yao Xian's soul amidst people's doubts and speculations. She didn't even look at Emperor Tianwu who was sitting next to the coffin, nor took the incense candle from Yao Jingjun's hand. She knelt down directly in front of the coffin and the memorial tablet.
, kowtowed to Yao Xian three times in full view of everyone.
These three kowtows made even the Yao family confused. The imperial concubine kowtows to the common people, which is inconsistent with the rules! Not to mention that Yao Xian is not even a doctor now, he is just an ordinary citizen, even if Yao Xian is a relative of Concubine Yun
Dad, as long as she is still the imperial concubine, this is not allowed.
But Concubine Yun kowtowed, and kowtowed these three heads to Yao Xian in front of everyone and Emperor Tianwu. Then without any explanation, she took the incense candle and bowed three times before putting the incense stick on it.
Insert it into the incense burner.
Careful people found that Concubine Yun's body was trembling slightly while she was kowtowing, as if she was enduring great grief. It was like the Yao family facing Yao Xian's death. It was completely impossible to tell that she was actually an eight-year-old.
An outsider who cannot be hit with a pole.
But Zhang Yuan understood, and Emperor Tianwu also understood that they both knew why Concubine Yun was doing this, and they even knew that Concubine Yun came here dressed in mourning clothes. She sincerely regarded herself as Yao Xian's daughter to mourn her father.
Emperor Tianwu wanted to talk to Concubine Yun, but as soon as he opened his mouth and before he could say anything, Concubine Yun had already finished her condolences and turned around, apparently about to leave. He became anxious, stood up and chased after her for two seconds.
Stepping forward, I happened to hear Concubine Yun asking Yao Jingjun: "When will Uncle Yao be buried?"
Yao Jingjun answered her: "After nine days of rest, my father's coffin will be returned to the ancestral grave thirty miles outside the city."
Concubine Yun nodded, "I will come over early on that day and will see Uncle Yao off with you."
Yao Jingjun quickly waved his hand: "I can't do it, I can't do it. Madam, you are the imperial concubine. It is unreasonable to bury my father."
Concubine Yun shook her head and said: "It doesn't matter, where do those rules come from? What's more, to me, he is my father." After she finished speaking, she didn't look at Yao Jingjun and walked straight out, but she stopped after taking a few steps.
, then turned around, looked at Emperor Tianwu who was staggering behind him, and said coldly: "Why are you still here if you don't leave? Is it embarrassing?"
Emperor Tianwu was not angry after hearing this, and stamped his feet and said to her with a depressed look: "Hey, Pianpian, do you think old Yao Boss is too stubborn? I even put down my identity and begged him like this, but he still doesn't
If you are willing to come out and take a look at me. You just happened to be here, go and talk to him and tell him not to lose his temper and come out to drink with me."
Concubine Yun frowned at him, with anger on her face, and said: "Xuan Zhan, instead of deceiving yourself and others like this, you should cheer up and help your sons to cure the world. Even if you want to pass on the throne, you can't do it."
We should leave the children with a clear future, instead of the mess they are in now. You are like this, you never take the initiative to think of solutions when encountering problems, but blindly avoid and retreat. You feel that you will not face it,
Can you just pretend that nothing has happened? Just like now, do you think that as long as you don't admit it, Yao Xian is not dead? He can survive? Don't be naive. At your age, you no longer have the capital to be naive. Xuan
Zhan, Yao Xian is dead. You will have such a day sooner or later, and so will I. None of us can escape these ruthless years. So, why can't we do more good things while we are still alive? Leave more useful things for our children.
Where’s the stuff?”
Emperor Tianwu was stunned. Concubine Yun's words were replayed repeatedly in his mind. Every word struck his most vulnerable nerve, causing heartbreaking pain. When he came back to his senses, Concubine Yun
We have walked a long way, and we are almost at the gate of the mansion to board the palace carriage.
He turned back to look at Yao Xian's memorial tablet. Tears finally flowed from his eyes and he couldn't stop them.
Emperor Tianwu didn't chase Concubine Yun for the first time. He turned back and walked back to the mourning hall. This time he didn't ask Yao Xian to come out to drink. Instead, he took the incense candle and poured incense for Yao Xian in a serious manner. That's all, right.
Holding the spiritual tablet, he said: "Old Yao! I can't stay with you here anymore. Pianpian is right. We shouldn't leave a mess for the children. It's not easy for them either. I am the one who should bear the greatest responsibility for this country.
So I have to go back. You have said before that you cannot be willful just because you are old, and you cannot rely on the fact that you have many sons to rely on. I am the one sitting on the throne of the emperor. I am responsible for this world, no matter what.
There is no way to shirk it. Old Yao! You walk slower on the road to Huangquan and wait for me. That woman Yun Pianpian said that we will all have this day sooner or later. I guess I will soon, so just wait for me. Then we will
We can have two more drinks underground." After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Xuan Tianfeng, and then said: "Feng'er, you have a rest first and wait until your father has sorted everything out.
Leave it to you."
Emperor Tianwu finally returned to the palace, and all the princes also followed him. After what happened to the Yao family, more people came to express their condolences to Yao Xian. Even those who had never been sick before and had not received favors from the Yao family.
I came here just to feel like an emperor. Even the emperor came to express condolences in person, so why didn’t the common people come?
There was a big funeral in the Yao Mansion, and the Lian Mansion, which was just across the wall from the Yao Mansion, was also holding a funeral. The funeral in the Yao Mansion was a sensation, but the funeral in the Lian Mansion was a long one. After Feng Zhaolian left, Wu Lisheng immediately went to the funeral.
The memorial tablet was carved, incense and candles were placed, and even the coffin was ready. Now the mourning hall was set up and the mourning flags were put up. She herself stayed in the mourning hall all day, either burning paper money or sorting out the seals.
Lian's old clothes.
The cries that came from the Yao Mansion from time to time made her even more sad. She leaned on the empty coffin and kept weeping. The maid persuaded her earnestly: "Miss, don't be like this, Your Highness is still fine."
, why do you bother yourself like this? You haven't slept for two days and two nights, and what will you do if you are exhausted? If you continue like this, His Highness comes back, and you yourself fall ill, and you will not be able to look after His Highness anymore.
Don’t you want to regret it?”
Wu Lisheng laughed at her and said, "What good things are you thinking of? Can he come back? Let me tell you, it is impossible for Feng Zhaolian to come back from this trip. What do you think she is going to do? Chasing the seventh prince? No,
He went to Duanmu Anguo to seek revenge. But the old thief Duanmu Anguo was not that easy to deal with. If Feng Zhaolian didn't fight with him and die together, he wouldn't be able to hurt him at all. This spirit was not set early. If you believe me, then
Let me tell you, Feng Zhaolian died many days ago."
The little maid didn't believe it, "Miss said, when Qian Zhou did such harm to His Highness, His Highness was still alive, so I don't believe that he will die. Didn't I say that Your Highness is a thousand years old? Miss should believe that His Highness can come back and evacuate this mourning hall."
, live well and guard this mansion for His Highness, and you will still have a good life when he comes back!"
"What a silly girl." Wu Lisheng shook his head and sighed, "I will wait here. When His Royal Highness and Princess Yu return to Beijing, they will definitely bring him back. Either a corpse or ashes."
Thinking about it, he analyzed it and said: "It should be ashes. It is impossible to preserve the body after such a long journey and such a long time. It must be ashes." After that, he looked at what he had prepared.
This coffin, he said with some pity: "I spent so much money to buy this coffin. If it is just a handful of ashes, this thing is of no use. Anyway, the ashes are convenient, so I will take him back to Beijing when the time comes."
He likes the glacier in the northern border the most, so he will be buried under the glacier. I will accompany him. If we have agreed to go to Baitou, then I will accompany him until Baitou."
After Wu Lisheng finished speaking, she stood up, walked steadily to the memorial tablet of Feng Zhaolian, and murmured again: "Your Highness, the doctor Yao next door has died. Princess Yu must be very sad. I am also sad, without you.
, what is the meaning of my life? Your Highness, Li Sheng has no regrets and no regrets, but Li Sheng just wants to know, did you ever think of me when you closed your eyes? Even if it was just for a moment...
…”
When Yao Xian passed away, Xiangrong, who was far away in Ji'an County, still heard the news. The news came when Yao Xian was seriously ill.
I feel sick.
After Xiangrong heard about it, she immediately decided to return to Beijing. However, the journey was long and she was still ill. No matter how fast she traveled, it would take half a month to reach the capital. During this half month, the Yao family was already organizing funeral arrangements.
Already.
Xiangrong calculated that she would never be able to get to Beijing before Yao Xian was laid to rest, and she felt particularly uncomfortable. On this trip, Xuan Tianyi and Anshi came back with her, and Bai Furong was also in the carriage. She
She was coughing all the way, and at the worst point, she even coughed up blood. Anshi felt distressed and always secretly wiped her tears. When Xiangrong saw it, she didn’t know how to persuade her, so she could only hold Anshi’s hand and comfort her silently.
.
No one can diagnose what is going on with her illness, but she is finally awake, and is not always in a coma like before. But she is still awake, but her condition is still not good, and sometimes Xuan Tianyi is even afraid
, and stayed in her yard night after night, for fear that this girl would suddenly disappear from this world. Anshi persuaded Xiangrong several times to let her see how good the fourth prince was. Since she had already rejected the seventh prince, she might as well go see him.
Look at the people in front of you who are obsessed with themselves.
But Xiangrong also said that I didn't give hope to His Highness the Fourth Highness when I was well. Now that I'm so ill, I shouldn't burden others with it.
