Chapter 261 Manager Li

The yard where the imperial concubine Ye lived in Dongyuan was decorated as a mourning hall in a short time. After learning the news of the death of the side concubine's violent illness, the general manager of the royal palace immediately ordered people to go to the best coffin shop in Xingyuan City to buy the best Jinsi Nan wooden coffin. At this moment, the mourning hall has been almost arranged, and the wooden coffin has also been placed in the mourning hall, waiting for the body of Concubine Ye to enter the coffin.

The head of the royal palace, surnamed Li, is an old servant who followed King Jing in his early years. He can sit in this position of general manager by relying on his own personal skills and King Jing's trust in him. The death of Ye's concubine was full of doubts in his eyes. However, since the prince said that she died of a violent illness, she could only die of a violent illness. He didn't understand what the prince was thinking, but he knew his duties. Now that the news of the death of Imperial Concubine Ye has spread all over Xingyuan City, many adult husbands will come to worship in the near future. But the prince has been in the room alone for a long time and has not let people move the body of the side concubine into the wooden coffin, which is really...

General Manager Li guarded the door of the bedroom where Concubine Ye lived, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and knocked on the door and reported, "Your Majesty, the mourning hall has been cleaned up."

"...Well, I know." The sound from the room was a little depressing hoarseness, which made General Manager Li's heart tremble.

General Manager Li gritted his teeth again and was ready to persuade the prince to come out so that the servants could go in and put on the shroud clothes for the imperial concubine Ye and move it into the coffin. Unexpectedly, before he opened his mouth, King Jing's order came from inside: "Go and call Xi'er and Xu'er to see me."

General Manager Li was stunned, answered "yes" respectfully, and then returned to the mourning hall and sent a message to Liu Xi and Liu Xu, who had been kneeling in the mourning hall to observe filial piety.

Liu Xi and Liu Xu had just left the mourning hall to meet King Jing, and Liu Yao and Jiang Ting arrived. King Jing has said that he would hand over the funeral to them to preside over the funeral, and no matter how unwilling they are, they have to take a positive attitude. On the contrary, the gloomy faces of the two are quite in line with the dark atmosphere at this time, which makes people think of going anywhere else when they see them.

Jiang Ting took Mother Deng and Wang to have a look and saw that the placement of all parts of the mourning hall was very reasonable, and the overall arrangement was also very solemn. Even the wooden coffin bought in an emergency is very decent enough to match the identity of Concubine Ye. After reading everything, Jiang Ting was satisfied and couldn't help admiring it. In such a hasty situation, the general manager of the palace is really not fake to arrange all this.

"This mourning hall is well arranged. Manager Li has worked hard for you." Jiang Ting said politely.

Mr. Li bowed quickly and said, "The princess praised it. This is what the slave should do. Alas, many things are prepared now. If you can't make it perfect, you can only deal with the emergency first and replace it when it's done. Look at where there is anything wrong, so that I can correct it quickly.

Jiang Ting said gently, "As you said, although there are places that are not fine enough, they are not urgent now. You tell the people to hurry up and try to arrange them all when the officials come to worship in the afternoon. By the way, hasn't the body of the side concubine entered the coffin yet?

General Li lowered his head and sighed, "The sudden death of the side concubine, the prince was so sad that he had never taken half a step out of the side concubine's bedroom. Therefore..."

Jiang Ting took a look at Liu Yao and saw that his face was more gloomy. She sighed in her heart, but her face showed a sad look and said, "My father and the side concubine have been deeply in love for many years, and it is inevitable that they will be so sad. It's just... Alas, prince, let's persuade our father. It's better to let the side concubine sleep in the coffin quickly.

General Manager Li frowned and opened his mouth as if to stop him, but finally closed his mouth and said nothing.

Jiang Ting took a look at General Manager Li, who bowed his head without saying a word, walked to Liu Yao, and continued to persuade him softly, "My lord, it's already three days now, and it's almost noon. Before the side concubine enters the coffin, she has to change her clothes for many times. If you keep dragging it like this, it will not be good when the adults in the government come to worship in the afternoon. Let's go and persuade our father."

Liu Yao looked at Jiang Ting. Although he understood that her words were right, he didn't want to go anyway. If he can, he can't wait to let that woman throw her body into the wilderness. He doesn't care whether she can rest in peace after death. It's just... He took a look at General Manager Li, who stood respectfully in front of them, and reluctantly nodded.

Liu Yao agreed so cheerfully, which seemed to surprise General Manager Li. His face changed, but he still led them to Ye's bedroom. The door of the bedroom is still closed, and there are people guarding it in the yard, but they dare not approach the door.

Mr. Li knocked on the door and reported loudly inside: "Your Majesty, the prince and the princess are here."

"What's the matter?"

There is still that suppressed anger in Jingwang's voice. After hearing this, Liu Yao's eyes became colder and simply turned his head not to look at the two doors that seemed to have isolated their father and son.

Jiang Ting sighed secretly and had to go up and simply said bluntly, "Father, we came here to say that it's not early now. The side mother... It's time to enter the coffin."

It took a long time for a sad reply: "I know, it's still early now. Come back in half an hour."

Jiang Ting paused, resisted the impulse to curse her mother, answered respectfully, and took Liu Yao back to the mourning hall. According to the modern time, it should be more than ten o'clock. It will be noon in an hour. How can we make it? She turned her head to look at General Manager Li with the same bitter face, took a deep breath and said, "General Manager Li, we can't just wait like this. You tell someone to get everything ready and wait in this yard. When the prince comes out, he will try to help the side concubine to finish dressing up and invite her into the coffin.

Mr. Li responded respectfully, so he went to tell the girls who had already ordered them again.

Seeing that General Manager Li was far away, Jiang Ting took Liu Yao's hand and softly persuaded her, "She is dead, and it's already a hundred. Since my father chose to suppress this matter, he did not give up on you. If you really hate her, think more about how useless it is for her to die. My father didn't give up you after all. Therefore, don't look so resentful. It's not good for people to look at you. You are the son of King Jing. Be generous. As the saying goes, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. Huh?"

Liu Yao sighed, and his cold face melted a little. He patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, I understand."

He just can't stand the so-called affection shown by that person at this moment. He is also the man's wife. Why was he so ruthless when his mother died, and he was so disgusting and affectionate when this vicious woman died? No, comparing this woman with her mother is simply an insult to her mother. Mother didn't look at her from beginning to end. After all, what's the use of getting more favor from that man? In the end, isn't she just a side concubine? The word "side" makes her go to the underworld and lower her mother!
