Chapter 455 Funeral

A notice calmed down the whole Yuntai Palace, and the sad atmosphere spread quickly, especially some young ladies of the family who were brought to attend the funeral, holding a veil and crying like a pear flower with rain, which looked particularly pitiful.

Han Lingruo looked at those people's hearts full of resentment and scolded shameless bitches! At this moment, she couldn't wait to scratch all those people's faces. These fox spirits didn't want to seduce the handsome emperor in this way. Humph, but no matter how touching she cried, it was, it's not that she couldn't attract the emperor's attention at all.

Duanmu Lingyu came in and glanced at Mu Qingya. He saw her look peaceful and settled down in his heart. When he saw Mo Junhan, his expression was a little inexplicable. Finally, he sighed slightly. Since Xia Jingyan had the intention to let Qingya help some Mo Junhan, and Qingya was happy, he did not care about it. Otherwise, it was Xia Jing. If Yan dies, he will make her die of restlessness. Thinking of it, Qingya saw the shadow of her mother in Xia Jingyan. Although Xia Jingyan had many mistakes before her death, the letter before her death was sincere, which clearly showed the heart of a mother protecting her son. It is because of this that Qingya thought of her mother, so she moved her heart.

I hope that Mo Junhan is smart. If he is not grateful for Qingya, he certainly doesn't mind letting him understand what is cold and warm and cruel in the palace. You know, in which year will there be no princes and princesses in the palace?

Mo Junhan lowered his head and knelt on the ground, with a burning pain on his face. Originally, he wanted to let his father punish her and treat her for a great disrespectful crime by slapping him, but when he was just changing his clothes, he looked at the mirror for a long time, but was surprised to find that except for pain on his face However, there was no mark at all. The slap obviously used a lot of strength, but it was only painful, not even a red mark. This discovery made him panic. If Mu Qingya wanted to hit him again, he would not even have any evidence.

At this time, the ceremonial official's singing sounded, and Mo Ao took the lead in giving incense to Xia Jingyan. At this time, no matter how disgusting he is, he will give face to Zu Xiajing. After all, there is still Duanmu Lingyu, the emperor.

However, he still didn't have to be there all the time for the funeral of an imperial concubine. After Duanmu Lingyu's incense, he wanted to leave.

Unfortunately, before I reached the door, I was shocked by a sudden loud noise.

"Oh my God..."

"This... Hurry up, help up..."

The table where Xia Jingyan's coffin was originally placed suddenly broke from the middle. The coffin fell to the ground and pushed down the incense tripod stove next to it. The incense ash scattered down, and the candlestick lit the curtain next to it, and the whole scene was in chaos.

The fifth prince was stunned for a moment, and then cried bitterly and ran to put out the fire. He didn't let the flame burn the coffin, but he didn't expect that the flames touched the coffin but burned instantly, and the fire became difficult to deal with.

Naturally, the palace people can't let the fifth prince take risks and quickly came forward to stop him.

Mo Ao's face was embarrassed. Although he did not attach importance to Xia Jingyan's funeral, after all, she was the imperial concubine of Canglan. She actually burned the coffin at the funeral. This spread out and was not called God's punishment?

"Put out the fire, put out the fire quickly."

The palace people who had hesitated to splash water on the coffin to put out the fire heard Mo Ao's order and quickly splashed the person who had already brought it. Soon, the flame was extinguished.

However, everyone's faces became more and more ugly, and the coffin actually shed red marks under the washing of water, which looked similar to the color of blood.

Mo Ao suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhao Hai: "What's going on? Why are there these things on the imperial concubine's coffin?

Zhao Hai was in a cold sweat: "Return to the emperor, this... I don't know, I'm going to investigate..."

Duanmu Lingyu said coldly: "Emperor Canglan, this matter needs to be well investigated. The imperial concubine was born in Yuhan, and her father is even more prestigious in Yuhan. Although the imperial concubine has been married to Canglan for so many years, Yuhan will not completely care about her after her affairs. What's more, it is unknown that people are dying in Canglan now. It's just for nothing. It's unbearable to even make such a thing at the funeral!"

"Don't worry, Emperor Yuhan, I will definitely investigate this matter clearly. Zhao Hai, go and call the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

After a while, Zhou Qing, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who was responsible for handling this matter, ran over tremblingly, knelt on the ground, and said to Mo Ao, "I will see the emperor. Please forgive me. I deserve to die, but this wood is transported to the palace uniformly. It is the Han family who is responsible for it. I have also carefully selected it, but I don't know why it has become like this. Please forgive me.

Han Wu, the head of the Han family, heard this and quickly knelt on the ground: "Return to the emperor, the wood of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is indeed the responsibility of the Han family, but the Han family has no negligence at all. Please ask the emperor to observe."

Mo Ao frowned tightly, and his expression became more and more unfeared.

Duanmu Lingyu sneered and said, "You are all careful and responsible. Is this coffin a problem out of thin air? It's really funny. Once something happens, they scramble to shirk responsibility. Emperor Canglan, since they all say they are innocent, it's better to listen to what evidence they have. If there is no evidence that can show their innocence, it's bullying the king.

Zhou Qing and Han Wu didn't know how to answer for a while. Evidence? How did they suddenly find evidence, but the charge of bullying the king could not be left behind in any case!

At this time, Zhou Qing also didn't care about the kindness of the Han family's promotion: "Your Majesty, the craftsmen I found to build coffins are the best. There is no problem in the process. The emperor can ask people to investigate. However, I heard that there is a kind of wood that is extremely cheap and the appearance is similar to this kind of nanmu, but the quality But the quality is much different. I don't know if there is something wrong with the source of the wood.

Han Wu narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Zhou Qing with a more murderous look. The slave actually wanted to push everything on the Han family: "To the emperor, there is no problem with this batch of wood from procurement to delivery. At this time, there is still a batch of the same wood that has not been sent to the palace. The emperor can send someone to check. ."

Mu Qingya's eyes moved slightly. She looked up at Duanmu Lingyu and smiled in her heart. She didn't expect him to make an article from Xia Jingyan's coffin. I'm afraid Han Wu would not have thought that the drunken man's intention was not wine. Duanmu Lingyu was not a small coffin at all, but the mysterious Nanzhao Yu Party behind the Han family!

Han Zhongxuan frowned suddenly, and his eyes seemed to be as gentle and waveless as before, but it seemed that he could distinguish the hidden storm in it.

At this time, the bad feeling in his heart was very strong. Yesterday, because Han Lingying was frightened, he secretly asked someone to take her back to a remote yard of the Han family. He had not had time to tell Han Wu about this matter. Unexpectedly, today his grandfather agreed to let the emperor go to the Han family to check what kind of wood. If this is a coincidence It's too coincidental.

Mu Qingya noticed the change in his look and smiled slightly, but she didn't know if Han Zhongxuan could still be as indifferent as he is now.

Mo Ao frowned. Although the Han family is slightly declining now, after all, he is an old minister of Canglan and is not like making things so stiff.

"Emperor Canglan, since Lord Han has said so, if you don't check it carefully, I'm afraid Lord Han will think that you don't believe him. Speaking of which, this matter involves the imperial concubine, and naturally has something to do with Yuhan. I will not mind sending two people to follow Emperor Canglan, will you?"

Mo Ao snorted coldly and sent people to follow him. I'm afraid that he was afraid that he would favor the Han family, but there was nothing to search, but it was just a formality: "In this case, send someone to check it, and let Yang Shixiang, deputy commander of the Praetorian Guards, go and have a look."

Duanmu Lingyu did not stop Mo Ao's decision. He secretly investigated Yang Shixiang and naturally knew the connection between this person and the Han family. However, this incident was not something that a small deputy commander of the Imperial Guard could suppress. Yesterday, he sent someone to secretly shock Han Lingying and asked Han Zhongxuan to take her back. Han family, as long as people see Han Lingying today, then things will be done.

Yang Shixiang received the imperial edict and immediately took people to the Han family.

Mo Ao naturally asked people to clean up Xia Jingyan's coffin first, and then sat in the side hall and continued to wait.

At this time, everyone can't leave at will without permission, so they can only stand and wait for the result.

Zhao Qinya approached Mu Qingya: "Princess, the maidservant just saw that the fifth prince seemed to look very bad."

Mu Qingya turned her head: "After the death of the imperial concubine, the fifth prince, as the only son of the imperial concubine, naturally deserved to look bad. What does Miss Zhao mean by this?"

Zhao Qinya's eyes darkened slightly: "It's nothing, just caring about the fifth prince."

Mu Qingya naturally doesn't believe that she is just a simple concern, but at this time, she doesn't want to continue to pester Zhao Qinya: "I heard that Miss Zhao is copying the female ring recently. Is the paper enough? If it's not enough, I can ask the emperor to send you more."

Zhao Qinya's face changed, and she stared at Mu Qingya secretly and retreated aside without talking.

Half an hour later, Yang Shixiang and others who went to the Han family to investigate came back.

"To reply to the emperor, slaves and others investigated the whole Han family and found that there was no problem with the Han family's timber."

Duanmu Lingyu's eyes suddenly shook and did not expose Han Lingying. What's going on?
