The incident happened on the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year. Early in the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, there was news from Chu Han.
The Zhou family and the prince-in-law shared the same story with the outside world. They both said that Princess Yuyin was uneasy because of the death of Empress Dowager Jiang. She wanted to take a breath at night, and then she accidentally fell into the water.
The news that Chuhan got from Chuhan was that during the mourning period, the prince-in-law drank and had fun and had sex with a maid in the mansion, which made Princess Yuyin furious.
The prince-in-law was getting drunk and got into a fight with Princess Yuyin. He accidentally knocked her unconscious and injured her head.
The prince-in-law suddenly sobered up, and fearing that someone would find out the clues, he threw the person into his own lake, thinking that Princess Yuyin was going to drown, but later he asked someone to save him for some unknown reason.
During the national mourning period, drinking and having fun was not allowed, let alone other things. Now, Princess Yuyin was harmed. This happened one after another, and neither the Zhang family nor the Prince Consort dared to say a word.
Princess Yuyin has inherited Empress Dowager Jiang's temperament, but unfortunately she does not have Empress Dowager Jiang's scheming ideas.
After Empress Dowager Jiang passed away, her temper did not calm down, but intensified. It was no wonder that the consort had been a loving couple with her for decades, but in the end he wanted to take her life.
Chu Han talked about all the things that had been investigated for a while. It turned out that Song Qinghuan was not dealing with Princess Yuyin. It can be seen that she fell into such a situation because of a man, which was similar to Zhang Yunwei. Some people felt unfair for her and scolded: "
Smelly man, no one is good."
Xiao Ci quarreled, drove Chu Han away, and immediately punished Song Qinghuan, saying with a warning: "I'll give you a chance to say it again."
In the clear sky, Song Qinghuan was really afraid of him, so he immediately changed his words: "I was scolding someone else. My husband is the best man in the world."
Her rainbow fart made Xiao Ci feel a little excited. He immediately laughed and took advantage of the situation to clean up the person.
Song Qinghuan was so troubled by him that she was as tired as a dead pig and couldn't move. Xiao Ci then said to her: "The fact that Princess Yuyin is in this situation is just because of someone's plot."
No matter how arrogant and domineering Princess Yuyin is, she is sincere towards her husband-in-law. The two have been in love with each other for many years, and it is not fake. Although the husband-in-law has no ability, he has always been observant of etiquette. There is no way he would do something like this during the national mourning period.
When things get confusing, everyone is plotted against them.
Song Qinghuan was so tired that his eyelids were drowsy. Hearing this, he became excited and lost all sleepiness. He said cryptically: "You mean..."
Xiao Ci nodded, just as she thought.
"No way." Song Qinghuan took a deep breath, then seemed to remember something, and suddenly sat up and looked at Xiao Ci, asking: "You don't have any big issues with him, right?"
Xiao Ci pursed his lips and smiled, tapped the tip of her nose, and asked, "What kind of celebration is considered a big holiday?"
Song Qinghuan said: "That's right, the kind that is so big that I want to kill you and silence you."
"No." Xiao Ci laughed, but then added: "But, I have nothing to do with him, and he will not make it easy for me."
Song Qinghuan felt a chill run down his spine and muttered: "You rich and powerful people are really full and have nothing to do. You spend all day calculating this and that. It's very annoying."
Xiao Ci also found it very annoying, but he had no choice. It was not his choice to be born.
For half a month, Empress Dowager Jiang passed away, Princess Yuyin became stupid, and the entire Kyoto seemed to be covered by thick dark clouds.
Everyone just thought it was a difficult year and they would be fine after the mourning period for Empress Dowager Jiang. However, little did they know that on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, when the court started writing, Xiao Ci took on another thankless job.
Emperor Chengxing didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he suddenly thought of building a merit monument in Empress Dowager Jiang's hometown for the world to worship.
There has been such a thing as building a merit monument in Dali, but it was built for a prestigious minister with deep merit and fame in the court. Empress Dowager Jiang was a womanly woman who had dominated the court for many years, but she had not done anything.
It doesn't matter whether she can bear it or not, but what should she write on the monument?
Write that she harmed the concubines in the harem, harmed the former prince's heirs, and harmed the common people?
Although everything is true, no one dares to say it.
Emperor Chengxing assigned this matter to Xiao Ci without even discussing it, which made Xiao Ci very angry.
Xiao Ci also suffered a lot from Empress Dowager Jiang when he was young. Although there is nothing to worry about now that the person is dead, he felt that he deserved it if he was asked to build a merit monument for Empress Dowager Jiang against his will.
Because of this matter, Xiao Ci also tactfully went to talk to Emperor Chengxing. It probably meant that he had never done anything big and was afraid of messing it up.
However, Emperor Chengxing waved his hand and said with great trust: "I believe in your ability. You can even conquer the Ye Kingdom without spending a single soldier, let alone a mere monument of merit."
He also said: "The queen mother passed away, so I had to send her off with you. The eighth brother never came back before being summoned. If not, you two should handle this matter together. Now that you are the only one, you must do it beautifully."
That's right."
Xiao Ci came out of the palace and threw a tea bowl as soon as he entered the palace, but he didn't say anything more. He packed up his things and prepared to go south to do this ridiculous errand.
It's not an exaggeration to say it's ridiculous. Looking at the present day, no matter how fatuous the emperor is, he has never built a merit monument for his mother. I don't know if Empress Dowager Jiang will be buried under the ground by those rich and famous people from the previous dynasty.
The empress dowager reviled.
Xiao Jingchuan wanted to go with him to practice, but Xiao Jingtong and Xiao Jingrou were both in Kyoto. Xiao Ci was also afraid that Song Qinghuan wouldn't be able to handle it alone, so he thought about it and said: "What my father is going to do is not a big thing, what you have to do is a big thing."
, There is no peace in the capital, it is difficult to guard against the people behind the scenes, and there is a troublemaker like Nanyao, so it is more important for you to stay in the capital to protect your mother and sister."
The father and son talked a lot behind closed doors, some of which Xiao Ci had never said before.
Xiao Jingchuan was startled after hearing this, and his thoughts about going south were completely gone. Compared with training, he really needed to be guarded here in Kyoto.
The job Xiao Ci got was not a good job, and it wouldn't be possible if it took less than a year and a half to get back and forth.
As soon as Xiao Ci left, Song Qinghuan took several children in the capital and became even more reluctant to move around. Normally she was just fine by herself, but the children couldn't take any chances.
Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Ci left Beijing and caught up with the last snowstorm in the spring. He did not arrive at the hometown of Empress Dowager Jiang until the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month.
After the national mourning was over, on February 21st, Princess Nanyao recommended herself to Emperor Chengxing and went to the south to help build a merit monument for Empress Dowager Jiang.
Emperor Chengxing probably knew that this was a thankless job, so when he saw someone recommending himself, he didn't say a word and just waved his hand and agreed.
