330 guarding the mausoleum

"Empress dowager's mother... she is gone!"

The whole outside suddenly got cold. Si Yu suddenly got up and looked down at the little eunuch, "What are you talking about?"

"The Empress Dowager is gone, your Majesty." The little eunuch looked up and repeated with a trill.

"Go down and I will go to see the Empress Dowager." Si Yu said and stepped forward. Zhou Shuxian, who was beside her, immediately reached forward to support him, but she didn't expect Si Yue to open her hand directly, "Emperor, come here."

Lin Su didn't even look at Zhou Shuxian, and immediately came forward to hold Si Yu and whispered, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for you."

Her words seemed to remind the women present, and the room suddenly cried.

Si Yu looked at these women boredly, and then held Lin Su's hand and walked towards the inner hall. Zhou Shuxian fell behind, and her eyes turned red with hatred. After a while, she said coldly, "Why are you crying? Why don't you get up and see the Empress Dowager..."

She said and followed, but Lin Su listened to her words, suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "The others are fine. After all, Wei Chenfei is a dragon heir in her arms. She still should avoid it and don't go in."

Si Ye listened to her words and nodded, "You still think clearly." With that, the cold eyes fell on Zhou Shuxian for the first time. Zhou Shuxian trembled slightly and lowered her head.

Everyone entered the Empress Dowager's bedroom, in which there were already maids tidying up the remains for the Empress Dowager, and a group of imperial doctors knelt on the side of the bed.

"Did the Empress Dowager wake up before her death?" Si Yu stood at the head of the bed and looked down at the slightly twisted face of the Empress Dowager Lan. "Is it painful for the Empress Dowager to go?"

Several imperial doctors looked at each other, and finally, Zhang Yuan of the imperial hospital judged Si Yu's words.

"The Empress Dowager went in a coma, so it is not painful. It's just that I am incompetent..." All the imperial doctors kowtowed.

Si Yu looked up and seemed to calm down his mood, "Okay, you all quit." He said calmly, "I want to talk with the Empress Dowager... The imperial concubine will stay."

Lin Su, who was about to leave, heard this and paused for a moment, and then saluted Zhou Shuxian and returned to Si Yue's side.

There were only Si Yu and Lin Su left in the room for a moment. The Empress Dowager's warm body lay **, and Lin Su didn't even dare to look in that direction.

Si Yu slowly walked to the bedside and sat down. Looking at the Empress Dowager who had been cleaned up by the maid of honor, he whispered, "You raised me, and I remember your kindness. However, can't glory and wealth satisfy you? You are all about controlling me! I'm the emperor, the king of a country! This palace, including outside the palace, should not be above me!"

Lin Su stood silently behind Si Yu and understood that she didn't need to say anything at this time. Si Yu just wanted someone to accompany him and understand what he had done.

When Si Yu's mood was completely stabilized and he held Lin Su's hand to get up, Lin Su hesitated and opened his mouth.

"The cause of the Empress Dowager's death, the imperial doctor seems to have some different views. Did the emperor let it go, or..."

She paused for a moment and looked at Si Yu with soft eyes like water. "Your Majesty, in any case, I hope you can... This is not the emperor's fault."

Si Yu took Lin Su's hand and asked her to sit down.

"Tell me, there is no need to call the imperial doctor in. I believe in you." He gently patted Lin Su's arm, "Over the years, only you know me best. In the harem, I also trust you the most."

Lin Su trembled slightly and was silent for a moment, and then whispered, "Before my concubine came in, the imperial doctor once secretly showed my concubine a silver needle, which was his special silver needle, which is said to have been soaked in medicinal herbs. And because the silver needle was used by the Empress Dowager before, the tip of the needle is already cyan.

Si Yu's hand suddenly tightened, and then looked up at Lin Su: "You mean that the Empress Dowager was poisoned?"

"My concubine had suspected before why the Empress Dowager's condition was unpredictable. Does the emperor still remember?" Lin Su said softly, trying to appease Si Yue's mood, "If the emperor wants to investigate carefully, I think there will always be some clues... It's only before that the emperor punished Jiang Caier, if she is a noble man..."

"There must be no such cruel people in the harem, otherwise, how should I sleep in the future?" Si Yu's expression suddenly became cold. He loosened Lin Su's hand and stood up. When he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped. "I know this matter... Don't disturb Zhou Shude first."

Lin Su answered in a low voice and heard that Si Yu directly mentioned Zhou Shude's name. She knew that Si Yu must have put all the responsibility for the death of Empress Dowager Lan on the other party. Only in this way can Si Yu's mental burden be relieved. After all, the Empress Dowager Lan is his adoptive mother...

She made the right bet again this time.

Lin Su closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She didn't look at the lifeless corpse behind her and followed Si Yu out.

The funeral of the Empress Dowager Lan was grand and long. After stopping in the harem for 7749 days, she was moved to the imperial mausoleum. On the night before the Empress Dowager entered the imperial mausoleum, Si Yu made a decision that surprised the whole harem.

"Since the empress dowager has always been served by a nobleman before, I have promoted the nobleman to a German concubine. You go out of the palace to guard the mausoleum for the empress dowager."

Zhou Shude was stunned on the spot. All the women in the harem, except for Empress Dowager Zhao and Wei Chen, guarded her in the Empress Dowager's bedroom. Now when they heard Si Yu's words, everyone woke up and secretly exchanged their eyes and guessed the meaning of Si Yu's words.

"Your Majesty?" Zhou Shude knelt on the ground and climbed forward, "What on earth did my concubine do wrong?"

"De Guiren, ah, no, it should be called the Empress Defei now. How could the emperor have promoted your grade repeatedly because of what you did wrong? Zhou Shuxian sneered, "It must be because you serve the empress dowager very well. The emperor is worried that you, a close person, are not around the empress dowager..."

Zhou Shude's face immediately turned pale when she heard what she said.

"Tastaking care of the empress dowager is what my concubine should do, but guard the mausoleum for the empress dowager..."

"This is my gift. Concubine De only needs to receive a decree of gratitude, then pack up her things, and go to the imperial mausoleum with the funeral team tomorrow." Si Yu said bluntly and stared at Zhou Shude coldly: "Or do you want to resist the order?"

Zhou Shude looked up at Si Yu in disbelief, slowly lowered her head and her eyes slipped little by little from all the women present. Lin Su looked at all this coldly and made no sound.

In the end, she lowered her head feebly.

"My concubine thanked the emperor for his kindness."
