She just watched with cold eyes as Queen Mother Yu vomited blood and died.
Even when she was about to die, she still kept calm and thought about stabbing her in the heart. In this case, she had no need to show mercy, and Queen Mother Yu was so angry that she vomited blood and died.
Queen Mother Yu is finally dead!
This thorn in my side was finally completely removed.
From today on, she and Sheng Hong no longer have any worries and can concentrate on paving the way for A Luo.
Xie Mingxi leaned down and stretched out her hand to explore the breathing space of Queen Mother Yu. After confirming that Queen Mother Yu was not breathing, she turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
The moment he stepped out of the threshold, Xie Mingxi's face showed a deep look of sadness, her eyes were slightly red and she said to the people waiting outside: "The queen has gone."
As soon as the four words were spoken, there was a burst of painful crying.
Sheng Hong's eyes turned red at the right time, and he said hoarsely: "Follow me in, and kowtow to the queen mother to see her off."
The empress entered the bedroom first and knelt down beside the bed. A Luo knelt beside the empress.
Princess Changping and her consort Gu Qing knelt down together, and newly married couple Gu Shujin and Zhao Yiming also knelt down beside the bed.
Zhao Changqing led Brother Ji and Sister Rong to kneel down. Next to Xiao Yuhan was Sister Fu, and next to Yin Xiaoxiao was Brother Lin and Brother Ting. And King An, who had a weak sense of presence, knelt at the end with red eyes.
noodle.
In addition, several concubines, including Concubine Mei and Concubine Jing, also knelt down.
There was a sound of kowtows and cries in the dormitory.
The death knell was tolled quickly, one after another, resounding throughout the capital.
Empress Dowager Yu, who had been in charge of the court for decades, died in the West.
…
The mourning in Fulin Palace spread throughout the harem.
Gu Shanchang, who had closed his eyes to rest, was awakened by faint cries. He sat up straight on the bed and shouted hurriedly: "Ruoyao! Ruoyao!"
Ruoyao walked in quickly and supported the trembling Gu Shanchang.
"Ruoyao, have you heard the crying?" After a long time, Commander Gu Shan opened his mouth in a low voice, with some sobs in his voice.
Ruoyao's eyes also filled with water, and she whispered softly: "Yes, the Queen Mother has passed away."
Gu Shanchang didn't say anything again.
The water in the eyes gathered little by little, and finally turned into tears rolling down.
Gu Shanchang cried silently, and Ruoyao's heart was full of sadness. She had been by Gu Shanchang's side for many years, and she knew the friendship between Gu Shanchang and Queen Mother Yu best.
It's a pity that people's hearts are fickle. In the end, this deep friendship was cut off by the dark and twisted Empress Dowager Yu.
Ruoyao put her arms around Chief Gu and comforted her with choked sobs: "Miss, don't be sad. No one can escape birth, old age, illness and death. The Queen Mother is over fifty years old, which is considered a long life..."
Gu Shanchang leaned against Ruoyao, with tears streaming down his face.
Death is like a lamp going out. All grievances and grievances are also dissipated. Regardless of hatred or resentment, people are gone. From now on, there will be no more Yu Lianniang in the world.
…
The death knell rang through the capital.
This time, all the officials and their families in the capital were well prepared. These days, it has long been rumored that the Queen Mother is not in good health and is just struggling to survive. Everyone's home has prepared plain clothes.
Upon hearing the sound of the bell, all the officials and imperial edicts immediately put on their plain clothes and entered the palace for the funeral.
Funerals were being arranged one after another in the palace, and all the necessary things for funeral ceremonies were available in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was easy to handle funerals.
As usual, there were internal and external mourning halls in the mourning hall, and all the female relatives went to Fulin Palace to kneel in mourning. As the queen, Xie Mingxi did her duty to conduct the funeral in Fulin Palace.
The outer mourning hall is located in Yongcheng Palace.
All the officials came to Yongcheng Palace to kneel down. King An, Brother Ji and others were also in Yongcheng Palace.
The Prince of Fenyang and a group of princes and princes went directly into the mourning hall to pay their respects without leaving the palace. The Prince of Fenyang approached Sheng Hong and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the share that the envoy from the Zhao Yuan presented to you is
Should the testimony be made public?"
Once it is made public, Empress Dowager Yu will be infamous for plotting to murder the emperor, and she will not be qualified to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
Sheng Hong had obviously thought about this problem and said in a low voice: "No need. My father has passed away for several years, so why bother digging up old things. Besides, once this matter spreads, the Tian family will lose their dignity."
The deceased is dead, let's leave some last dignity to Empress Dowager Yu!
Prince Fenyang nodded.
"However, several pavilion elders must know about this matter, and the Yu family must also let them know about it." Sheng Hong whispered: "Let you handle this matter!"
Prince Fenyang responded in a low voice.
Prince Fenyang has been in charge of the clan mansion for nearly two years. During these two years, Prince Fenyang has acted cautiously. He takes the initiative to inquire about everything without waiting for Sheng Hong's instructions. He always puts the emperor's will first.
Sheng Hong was also a little surprised.
The selection of Fenyang County Prince on that day was purely a matter of luck among the dwarfs. It was a bit of luck. Unexpectedly, the luck was so good. Fenyang County Prince is really doing well in his sect. Now among the royal family members, he is also quite good.
Influential.
If it is inconvenient for the emperor to say it, Prince Fenyang can say it. If it is inconvenient for the emperor to do it, Prince Fenyang can do it.
It is undoubtedly a big help to Sheng Hong.
Take what happened during the day as an example. Even if there are many things wrong with Empress Dowager Yu, she is Sheng Hong's legitimate mother. Sheng Hong leads people to question her, but she will inevitably get a reputation as unfilial. If she were the Prince of Fenyang County, she would not have this problem.
.
As the Zongzheng of the sect's mansion, it is only natural and right to do this.
The death of Queen Mother Yu was like removing a thorn in Sheng Hong's flesh.
…
The Prince of Fenyang County was really efficient in his work. On the second day, he went to quietly look for several pavilion elders who had come to the palace to kneel in mourning.
Several of the ministers were very old, but they had to kneel for half a day, and their backs ached and their legs were numb. The emperor was kind enough and issued a special decree, ordering all officials to kneel for two hours and then rest for one hour.
This move won unanimous praise from all officials.
The Prince of Fenyang County came here specially, obviously he had important matters to discuss.
Mr. Lu Ge glanced at the officials who were resting together and said in a low voice: "Prince Fenyang, please wait for a moment. Let's find a quiet place to talk."
Prince Fenyang responded in a low voice.
After lighting a stick of incense, several cabinet ministers went to a secluded side room and read the testimony of Ambassador Zhao one by one.
Even Mr. Zhao Ge, who had the best temper, was so angry that his eyes were red. If it hadn't been for the fact that Queen Mother Yu had closed her eyes and returned to the west, she would have cursed her with "old poisonous woman" and "old witch".
Mr. Lu Ge was also furious, and the hand holding the testimony was trembling.
They were all important ministers promoted and appointed by Emperor Jianwen when he was still alive, and they all had deep feelings for Emperor Jianwen. When Emperor Jianwen passed away, all the ministers were sad, and they also had some suspicions in their hearts. However, no one opened their mouths to expose the power of the harem.
Empress Dowager Yu, with the power of the Yu and Gu families, no one dared to provoke her easily.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Jianwen died under Empress Dowager Yu's silent plan.
This old poisonous woman, dying like this is really a waste of her gain!
