Chapter 403: Funeral Storm
"Epidemic? By the way, if you don't say that I will ignore it, it was Song Shi'an who proposed that the emperor transfer the governor of Jingzhou to the capital to save the epidemic together. That assassination history, it seems that his surname is also Ge... What a coincidence, his Aunt Zhang actually called him Ge Lang? Is there any connection between these two people?
"Well, let's start with this person, send someone to Gefu to stare, and be sure to return the words and deeds of Lord Ge in the past few days."
"Yes, Master!"
Seeing that his wife was still very skilled in giving orders to the former Black Wind Holy Religion, Jiang Jiantao shook his head helplessly and said, "Minglu, I know you are reluctant to let go of the Black Wind Holy Religion, but we are now..."
"I know, husband, hey! In fact, I have wanted to say this to you for a long time. I still want to leave the capital from afar and find a beautiful place like Zichu and others. We will take the children with us. At that time, I will hand over the Black Wind Holy Religion, or choose a Protestant leader to let her carry forward the teachings. Otherwise, as long as we still live in the capital and are still in this circle of right and wrong, I can't feel at ease for a day. I'm so afraid... I'm afraid that one day, I will be framed and persecuted like Zichu, but I can't defend myself. Because I am no longer the former me, I am no longer just Ye Heminglu, and I no longer represent the Black Wind Holy Religion and myself, and you dear ones, so I will be more afraid of the vicious methods of those people..."
Seeing his wife showing a rare little daughter's posture, Jiang Jiantao quickly put her in his arms with heartache. He stroked his wife's hair and muttered, "No, you don't have to be afraid of anything. I'm here for everything! As a husband, I should have protected you from being hurt by anyone.
Ye Heming lay in his arms for a while before he said shyly, "I believe you, husband, I..."
Seeing that his wife's situation was different, Jiang Jiantao quickly asked. After Ye Heming blushed and whispered a few words in his ear, he picked him up happily. After spinning around in the air, he saw Ye Hemingru repeatedly say, "Oh, put me down quickly. I'm so dizzy! You are really, be careful of the child!"
"Oh, okay, why did I forget this? Now, you are a person with two bodies, and I will definitely be more considerate of you in the future.
Jiang Jiantao was so happy this time that he was reluctant to let go of his wife. The husband and wife sat indoors, talking and laughing. Ye Heminglu finally said, "My husband, the happiest thing in my life is to meet you."
"Ye, me too."
"Then do you think we can love like Zichu and Jun Yuchen and always believe in it?"
"I can, I will, you believe me. My heart for you will never change.
In the early winter night, the cold wind is bleak, but the princess's house is warm and warm.
It's just that this warm color can't shine in the magnolia palace of the harem, because at this time, Zichu was kneeling on the ground in plain filial clothes, listening to the words of the emperor with tears in his eyes.
"You should have understood my words, right? The reason why you are still dead now is that you are pregnant and can't be executed. However, like a vicious woman like you, I will never allow you to stay in the world to harm my two sons. If you still have a little conscience, you should have committed suicide with a full face after giving birth to a child. If you really don't know whether to live or die, then don't blame me for being rude!"
When Zi first heard the words, she raised her eyes in consternation and grief. She looked at the emperor and shook her head and said, "No, I won't give up my husband and children. The death of my father and mother has nothing to do with me. I won't plead guilty. You can't force me to confess to death like this. I will never admit what I haven't done!"
Hearing what she said, the emperor seemed to be extremely angry. He suddenly got up, slapped him on the table and said angrily, "You said you didn't do it, but now all the evidence proves that you did it. Because you are dissatisfied with your mother and always want to choose a side concubine for Chen'er, you are jealous. After detecting the truth of your mother's death, use this to force her to hand over the beauty fragrance, and then use this poison on your mother! Song Zichu, have you ever thought that she is your husband's biological mother after all? If you do this, what face will you face Chen'er and your children in the future? You poisoned their grandmother!"
Zichu was overwhelmed by these words. She gritted her teeth and forced her tears back. Once again, she said firmly, "Father, as I said, I didn't kill my mother. I won't admit such a crime. I have never done it!"
"Good! OK! OK! It seems that you will never admit it. In this case, I have nothing to tell you. I wanted to save some face for you before, but now it seems unnecessary. I will find out all the evidence on the day of your mother's funeral, and then let Chener and Suer take a good look at what kind of snake and scorpion woman you are!"
After saying that, the emperor brushed his sleeves and left. Watching his back disappear into the thick night, Zichu couldn't help clenching his hands and then burst into tears.
Hearing the news, Linglong and Qiaoyi both rushed over, quickly helped Zichu up and asked, "Princess, what's going on?" The emperor came so late and was still alone. What did he say to you?
At first, Zichu could only shake his head and cry, and finally he sobbed, "The emperor... He has determined that I am the murderer of his mother, he said... He wanted me to commit suicide after giving birth to the child. I didn't plead guilty. I said I hadn't done it. He would expose my true face on the day of the funeral, saying that I had to plead guilty..."
Hearing the words, Linglong and Qiaoyi were speechless. But both of them understood that the emperor was just unable to see through the truth in the game. Moreover, the death of Empress Dowager Nalan was also an extremely heavy blow to him. Now the reason why he left his two sons and came to see Zichu alone seems that he couldn't breathe in his heart, just to divert his sadness and anger.
In the Zichen Hall, Jun Yusulphne quickly got the news. He put down the memorial in his hand and muttered, "Father went to the Magnolia Palace so late to see his son alone? It seems that the father has made some determination.
Liu San did not dare to say much and only reminded, "Your Majesty, do we need to send someone to protect the princess? After all, she is now..."
"Well, please arrange for my personal guards to secretly protect Princess Ding. In addition, please help me pay more attention to the movement of Princess Ningyan."
Liu San didn't understand when he heard this. He asked tentatively, "You mean to send someone to protect Princess Ning? But why? Are you worried about..."
Jun Yusultin reviewed the memorial until midnight, when he was already very tired. But at present, so many things need to be dealt with by him. Hearing this, he can only wave his hand tirelessly and say, "If you go, just go. Don't ask so much. I am the son of my father, and I still know something about his behavior. Although Ning Yan is his own granddaughter, but... Well, maybe I'm too careful. Ning Yu is such a lovely child that no one can bear to hurt her. I..."
Seeing that the emperor closed his eyes a little tiredly, Liu San knew it and quickly nodded with interest. After a while, he came up and said, "Your Majesty, three days later, on the day of the Empress Dowager's funeral, shall we prepare in advance?"
Jun Yusult first nodded quickly and said, "Naturally, I've been prepared for this. At that time, it depends on everyone's ability.
Because the Empress Dowager's funeral is approaching, in the past few days, the harem is full of white curtain tents, and there is a mournful atmosphere. However, the closer to the day of the funeral, the atmosphere in the palace became more tense. It seems that all forces are playing secretly, but they are trying to maintain the surface peace, and all the waves are constantly rolling underneath.
In Fengyi Palace, Empress Zhang also looked haggard and sad. However, after everyone retreated, when there was only her nursing mother in the hall, she faded her previous expression and said coldly, "It's really hateful. She actually went to the mourning hall today to see the love between her and King Ding. I can't wait to cut her with thousands of knives!"
The nursing mother took the heater in her hand and quickly handed it to Queen Zhang's hand and advised, "Mother, you have been kneeling in the mourning hall for so long, but your hands and feet are cold. Come on, don't care about that. Let's warm up first. I asked someone to make ginseng pheasant soup for you. You can take two more siblings while it's hot, otherwise, how can you sleep tonight?"
Queen Zhang nodded when she heard the words. After taking over the stove, she rubbed her numb knees in pain. After a while, she smiled and said, "Forte, this is the last time I knelt down for Nalan Liancheng. On the day of her funeral, Song Zichu was forced into a desperate situation in front of her. Humph, when the palace comes, I will watch her admit that she is a vicious woman in front of her husband and the emperor. I would like to see if the emperor will love her as a sweetheart at that time?
Seeing that Queen Zhang's face was full of resentment, the wet nurse couldn't help shivering. She thought for a moment and finally said, "But Madam, don't you think the emperor's reaction to this matter is a little too calm? By the way, he used to value Song Zichu so much, but now he won't stand by like this?
Queen Zhang raised a sneer at the corners of her mouth and said, "That's because this time, this time, this palace is just stirring up another fire. In terms, the person who wants Song Zichu to die this time is the father of their two brothers. Ha ha, you said that no matter how unwilling the emperor is, no matter how distressed the king is, can they still turn against their father when the empress dowager's bones are not cold? I said that the people behind this layout are smart and thoughtful, but they are not ordinary people!"
