The elders of the pavilion circulated it one by one, all with sullen expressions on their faces.
Mr. Lu Ge took a deep breath and looked at Prince Fenyang: "May I ask the Prince, has the Emperor ever seen this testimony?"
The Prince of Fenyang County calmed down and said: "I dare not hide it from Mr. Ge. Not only the emperor has seen this testimony, but also the princes and princes of the clan have also seen it. As Zongzheng of the clan mansion, it is my duty to go into the palace to question the Queen Mother in person.
!”
Obviously, Queen Mother Yu vomited blood and died after being "cross-examined".
After hearing about this incident, several cabinet elders not only did not redress the grievances of Empress Dowager Yu, but instead felt happy: "This vicious woman has done such outrageous things, how can she be allowed to live in the world anymore!"
"She's really being given an advantage!"
"This matter should be made known to the world, so that everyone in the world knows what Queen Mother Yu has done. Such a vicious woman has no right to be buried in the imperial mausoleum!"
Prince Fenyang whispered: "Elders, please calm down."
"Once this matter is made public, the dignity of the Tian family will be lost. The emperor does not want to publicize it, so he only ordered me to quietly tell the elders about this matter."
"It's okay for all the pavilion elders to know about this matter, but you must not tell others about it. Even if it is in front of your relatives at home, you must not let it out."
This is the emperor's oral decree.
Several cabinet ministers had no choice but to accept the offer.
The emperor's concerns are reasonable. Empress Dowager Yu is dead, and Emperor Jianwen has been dead for several years. At this time, it is of little significance to pursue the past events. This scandal of the Tian family has indeed damaged the dignity of the Tian family. No wonder.
Sheng Hong didn't want to say anything.
After Prince Fenyang left, the elders frowned and talked in low voices.
"The Queen Mother made a big mistake and is not qualified to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. The Emperor did not want to publicize this matter and gave the Queen Mother the last layer of dignity."
"Your Majesty is so kind and kind!"
"But, if this happens, won't the Emperor have to observe filial piety for another three years?"
"What qualifications do people like the Queen Mother have to command the Emperor to observe filial piety!"
"The Emperor has decreed that this matter must not be publicized. In the eyes of everyone, the Queen Mother passed away due to illness and was not at fault. The Emperor is unfilial if he does not observe filial piety for his legitimate mother."
"This matter is indeed a bit tricky."
The elders sighed softly.
When Mr. Lu Ge heard the last two sentences, his heart moved quietly.
Could it be that the emperor insisted on giving the empress dowager a glorious burial? In the eyes of everyone, observing mourning for three years was a hard job. He could not conceive an heir, and he could not accept concubines into the palace. Maybe this was in line with the emperor's wishes.
Mind……
If Sheng Hong hears Lu Ge's inner voice, he will definitely sigh that he finally has a soulmate.
…
The weather was hot, so an ice coffin and many ice basins were placed in the mourning hall. This greatly alleviated the heat and boredom in the mourning hall.
Empress Xie specially ordered that all concubines over forty years old should kneel for two hours and rest for one hour. The imperial dining room prepared sour plum soup and mung bean soup to relieve the heat.
This careful and considerate act won Empress Xie a lot of praise.
"The Queen is so kind-hearted and considers the smallest things so thoughtfully."
"Isn't that right? Having such a virtuous and kind empress in the palace in our Qi Dynasty is a blessing to the emperor and to all the people!"
After the death of Empress Dowager Yu, the harem completely became Xie Mingxi's world. Anyone with a brain knows what to say and do.
All in all, all in all, the Queen is good at everything. Everything the Queen does is right, and everything the Queen says is a wise saying.
These praises reached Xie Mingxi's ears one after another.
To provide help in times of need, no one is willing to do it. To add icing on the cake, everyone is willing to do it.
Xie Mingxi twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, but did not take such trivial matters to her heart.
The confidant finally closed her eyes completely. For the past two days, she felt more relaxed and happy than ever before. There was only a pretended look of sadness on her face.
The same is true for Xiao Yuhan and Yin Xiaoxiao.
On the other hand, Zhao Changqing and Empress Dowager Yu always had a master-disciple relationship. He cried hard for two days in the mourning hall, his eyes were red and swollen, and his voice became hoarse from crying.
Xianghui, dressed in plain clothes, quietly entered the mourning hall and reported in a low voice: "To the Queen, Miss Ruoyao sent a message. Gu Shan is ill."
What?
Xie Mingxi was startled, stood up quickly, and whispered to Xiao Yuhan: "I want to go back to Jiaofang Hall to see Master. I will ask the Sister-in-law of the Three Emperors to take care of me here in the mourning hall."
"I heard that Gu Shan was ill. The Queen was worried and wanted to go and see for herself."
"The Empress has nothing to say about how kind she is to Master Gu. Master Gu has never had a husband or children in his life, but he has accepted such a good disciple."
…
Xie Mingxi hurried back to Jiaofang Palace.
Ruoyao was standing by Gu Shanchang's bed, and Dr. Zhou, the most skilled doctor in the imperial hospital, was diagnosing Gu Shanchang's pulse.
Hearing the footsteps, Ruoyao immediately stood up and saluted: "I have met the Queen."
Imperial Physician Zhou also wanted to get up, but Xie Mingxi stopped him with words: "Imperial Physician Zhou, without courtesy, will diagnose Master's pulse first."
Xie Mingxi respected and loved Gu Shanchang as much as her own mother and daughter, and no one in the palace knew about it. As soon as Gu Shanchang fell ill, Xie Mingxi didn't even bother to kneel down, and immediately went back to Jiaofang Hall to visit.
As expected, Imperial Physician Zhou didn't get up again and calmly checked and felt the pulse.
Xie Mingxi suppressed her anxiety and eagerness and looked over attentively.
Gu Shanchang was lying on the bed with a bleak look on his face, a strange flush on his face, and his lips were dry and pale. Hearing the sound, Gu Shanchang opened his eyes and tugged at Xie Mingxi: "I'm fine.
It's probably because the heart fire is too strong, just drink some decoction to clear the heart and reduce the fire."
The voice is weak and feeble.
Xie Mingxi felt quite distressed when she heard this. She sat down by the bed and said softly: "Master, please take a rest for now. I have to ask Dr. Zhou about how it goes."
Gu Shan let out a long hum and closed his eyes again.
In just two days, Gu Shan had a few wrinkles on his long forehead and around his eyes, his expression was depressed, and there were also a few strands of white hair in his hair.
Xie Mingxi sighed secretly in her heart.
Although Gu Shanchang hated Empress Dowager Yu in his heart, the death of Empress Dowager Yu still made Gu Shanchang feel gloomy and difficult to resolve.
After a while, Dr. Zhou stood up, cupped his hands and said: "This is to inform the Queen, Chief Gu has been overly worried and has a strong heart. I will prescribe some medicine, and if the Chief drinks it for a few days and has a good rest, he will be fine."
.”
Xie Mingxi calmed down and said, "Thank you, Imperial Physician Zhou. From today on, he will be on duty in Jiaofang Hall so that he can be called upon to see Master at any time."
Doctor Zhou responded hurriedly.
Gu Shanchang felt a little regretful and said with force, "Why bother Dr. Zhou with such a minor illness? Just come and check my pulse every day..."
Xie Mingxi frowned slightly and looked at Master Gu: "I have to go to the mourning hall. Otherwise, I will stay by Master's bed."
