Gu Fenglin knew about these matters in Beijing, but he didn't express anything.
Mu Yunhan is still doing business, but he is consciously reducing inventory and speeding up turnover.
The grain depot is full, and Shoushan Town is well built. If there is anything displeasing, the range of activities of the people sent to Xiangshan is still very small.
It is true that Wu Yanzhuang got along well with them, but he was a man of death and kept a firm eye on places where outsiders should not be allowed to set foot.
Mu An tried his best to explore several times, but he discovered it, and he called him and warned him several times, and even told Mu An to stay far away.
Mu An wrote to Mu Yunhan to complain, saying that he was too embarrassed to go again. If there was nothing particularly important, it would be better to wait for a while and wait until Wu Yanzhuang was transferred before he could think of anything else.
Mu Yunhan and Gu Fenglin also felt that this matter could not be rushed and it would be unsightly to make Wu Yanzhuang anxious, so they asked Mu An to rest temporarily.
In early March, when the case was still unsolved, Jing Zhaoyin was replaced again, and the minister of Dali Temple was also replaced.
Empress Zou gradually got better. Although she failed to get the emperor's eldest son back, her relationship with the emperor also eased a lot.
The emperor still dotes on Concubine Xi and her son, but he must go to her on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.
In mid-March, a beauty in the palace was diagnosed with a pregnancy of more than three months and was promoted to concubine. Because her surname was Sun, she was called Sun Concubine.
In late March, Queen Zou was diagnosed with pregnancy.
At the same time, a group of people secretly returned to the capital from the border and brought back the ashes of General Meng Wu.
Because they did not dare to let the people of Qi know about it, the matter was kept secret. The Meng family could not even hold a funeral for General Meng Wu. They simply gathered their close relatives to express their condolences and prepared to bury him in the Meng family's ancestral grave.
Mrs. Meng Wu and her children cried heartbrokenly. People at that time believed in burial and cremation was not accepted.
General Meng Wu was stationed at the border all year round and rarely returned home. In the end, he was not even seen for the last time. He died without a body and was burned to ashes.
Although he died heroically in battle, he was not even able to have a grand burial, which is really unacceptable.
There were not many Meng clan members present, so they had to accompany the bereaved family to cry bitterly and offer advice.
The auspicious time was approaching, but Mrs. Meng Wu held the jar of ashes tightly and refused to let go. She said that she dreamed of General Meng Wu at night and said that his whole body ached and burned.
She clamored to seek death, saying that if she died, she would be able to have a grand event and enjoy it with General Meng Wu.
Everyone was talking about it. It must hurt to be burned to ashes.
Some people blame Meng Jia for being cruel and actually burned people.
Even if the journey is far and the person cannot be brought back, it would be better to bury them on the spot and then move the grave when the time comes in the future.
Some people also thought of Gu Fenglin and felt that if the priest were here, he might be able to answer questions, appease Mrs. Meng Wu, and bury General Meng Wu smoothly.
But thinking about the current situation in the capital and the grievances between Mengshi and the Priest Palace, I don't have any hope.
How could Gu Fenglin appear here?
When I was at a loss what to do, I suddenly heard someone coming to report that the priest and his wife had come to express their condolences.
The Meng family thought they had heard wrongly, and they all looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
I always feel that Gu Fenglin and his wife appeared here for some other reason.
The eldest son of General Meng Wu said loudly: "Please come in quickly!"
Before he could finish his words, people rushed out.
