Chang Anqing

Chapter 236
Due to the death of the empress, this day's imperial court hearing was cancelled, but self-inflicted suicide is a serious crime for women in the harem, so in the end, the world only knows that Empress Yang is depressed because of the loss of her beloved son and postpartum disorder. He became ill and died without treatment.All of a sudden, the rumors of Tianjia's curse became rampant again.

However, in just one year, concubine Shu Zheng, imperial concubine Shangguan, and empress Yang all passed away one after another. Now looking around, only the newly promoted concubine Wei Wei and the newly appointed concubine Shangguan are barely counted as the emperor. High-ranking concubines, why don't people sigh and sigh, the emperor is really lonely this day.

Because Empress Yang left in a hurry, and there were no respected concubines in the palace to preside over the funeral arrangements, finally Emperor Yuan Cheng personally ordered that the empress's funeral be presided over by Zhongshu Ling Li Zhang, Wei Xianfei and Yuling Princess Li Sui as assistants, and at the same time sent an order In addition to the women who were appointed to guard the spirit in the Lizheng Hall, all the wives below the vassal kings, officials of the fourth rank in Gyeonggi, princesses, and concubines, etc., all gathered inside and outside the Danfeng Gate to cry and leave the court for seven days to comfort the queen's spirit.

Regarding Emperor Yuan Cheng's decision, although people in the world were shocked, no one said anything.

Li Zhang personally took charge of Empress Yang's funeral with the high position of Zhongshu Ling. The high standard and deep status show the unswerving love and affection that the emperor has for this married couple.Although Li Sui is still young, she is the younger sister of Empress Yang who has been with her for many years, so the sisterhood cannot be questioned.

Such an arrangement was unexpected, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem so unexpected.

After Li Sui received this sacred intention, he put his grief behind him for the time being. Although Concubine Wei Xian assisted in the funeral arrangements in the name of concubine, everyone with a discerning eye knows that Concubine Wei Xian has always been docile and has no opinions. Li Sui took care of Empress Yang's grooming, arrangement of Zi Palace, arrangement of mourning hall, arrangement of palace personnel, and leading wives inside and outside to guard the spirit.

Seven days passed, and everyone could see the indescribable loneliness and fortitude from Li Sui, Princess of Yuling. None of them would have imagined that there was a 17-year-old woman in front of her, who was almost sleepless day and night, unable to take off her clothes, and tired. He kept watch in front of the coffin for seven days and seven nights, and arranged the affairs of Empress Yang's death in an orderly and orderly manner, and no one could pick out the slightest mistake.

When night fell that day, there was a clear breeze and bright moon outside the hall, and there was no sound of wind in the silence. Li Sui, Concubine Wei Xian, and Concubine Shangguan De, headed by Li Sui, Concubine Wei Xian, and Concubine Shangguan De, all kneeled neatly in front of the palace to burn paper. Jiamo and Qingzhi seemed to have dried up their tears, but they didn't make a sound as if they were haggard. As the sheets of thin paper were burned to ashes by the flames, the concubines who were kneeling there were already a little He couldn't hold on, but he still tried to straighten his body without complaining, let alone being lazy.

At this moment, looking at the heavy coffin in front of them, they all felt sad. To them, the benevolent and generous Empress Yang was like a beam of warm light in the Daming Palace, illuminating them and warming them. The greatest love in this lonely and helpless deep palace.

But I didn't expect that one day, even such a beam of light would never go out——

I don't know how long it took, but it was so long that I could hear the wind blowing outside, which gradually made the plain white silk lamps outside the hall rustle. Concubine Wei Xian, who was kneeling in the first place, supported her knee that hurt like thousands of needles, looked sideways to describe Li Sui, who was haggard and as calm as a pool of water, couldn't bear it and finally comforted him in a low voice: "Princess has been busy for seven days and hasn't closed her eyes. Let's go back to rest tonight."

Hearing the soft probing voice in his ears, Li Sui, who was wandering in his thoughts, finally moved. Without applying makeup, a bit of confusion appeared on his tired face. He stared quietly at the coffin, but shook his head. A hoarse voice escaped from his throat.

"It's okay."

After finishing speaking, Li Sui thought of something, and slowly turned his head to see the exhausted people behind him. He braced his numb body and said, "Everyone has been guarding for a long time today, please go back and rest."

Hearing this, the concubines raised their heads, but they all quietly shook their heads and then lowered them without moving a muscle.

Glancing at the crowd, Li Sui's eyes finally fell on the calm and almost non-existent concubine Shangguan beside her. Unlike others, she kept her back straight and motionless from the beginning to the end, kneeling on Empress Yang as if in a trance In front of the spirit, there was no disrespect in his expression, on the contrary, it was a little more lonely and inexplicably lonely.

Also being a concubine, Yue Chongyi Ashina Ayi had already returned to the Lingqi Palace by herself, acting like a Turkic princess.

Seeing this scene, Jiamo and Qingzhi, who had been kneeling there burning paper, finally got up after thinking for a long time, knelt aside and comforted in a hoarse voice: "Tomorrow is the day to send His Highness to the imperial mausoleum. Concubine Xian and all the ladies have worked hard, so I can take a rest tonight, and I can accompany His Highness on this final journey tomorrow."

Hearing Jiamo's more choked voice as he spoke, Li Sui, who was as silent as stagnant water, was finally moved by it. When the eyes of the two met, it took a long time before they nodded wearily, and told Jiamo, With the support of Zhi and Yu Nu, he barely stood up on his numb and unconscious legs, and walked out step by step with difficulty.

After crossing the high threshold, there was a scent of flowers blowing in the wind in the twilight outside the hall, but it was far less reassuring than the heavy smell of paper dust in the hall.

Under the cold and lonely moonlight, the figures of Qing Zhi and Yu Nu supporting Li Sui were stretched out, looking infinitely more desolate.

Until approaching the familiar corridor, Li Suijing heard Qingzhi's extremely low voice coming from his ear.

"Princess, the emperor seems to be poisoned."

As soon as the words fell, Li Sui's eyes in plain clothes and white clothes moved suddenly, and when she looked up, the bright moonlight made her pale and tired at the moment, but even the cloudy green in front of her eyes could not conceal her beauty, and instead gave birth to It's kind of distressing.

In the quiet wind, the eyes of Li Sui and Qing Zhi met, which was enough for her to clearly see the seriousness and earnestness in Qing Zhi's eyes from the night, as well as the unhesitating affirmation.

Emperor Yuan Cheng was poisoned?

Li Sui tightly grasped Qingzhi's arm supporting her, and it took a long time before he continued to move forward slowly, motioning for her to continue talking.

"In the early morning of the day His Highness passed away, the emperor suddenly vomited blood and fainted. Everyone was in a hurry. Since the emperor was pregnant last year, the headaches have become more and more frequent, I'm afraid it's not God's will, but someone deliberately prescribed medicine to aggravate the headache."

As soon as these words came out, Li Sui couldn't be more clear when he was shocked.

When Empress Yang was pregnant, she thought about doing something to Emperor Yuan Cheng. There is probably no one else who dares to do something to Emperor Yuan Cheng except that person.

"I know, you just don't know about this matter, don't tell others about it."

In the night, Qingzhi nodded silently, bowed to Li Sui, then turned around and retreated quietly, leaving Li Sui alone to continue walking with the support of Nian Nu and Yu Nu.

The head wind disease of the Son of Heaven family is no longer a secret in Da Zhou. Whether it is the founder Taizu, the later Gaozu, Taizong, Chengzong, Chengzu, or the previous emperor and Yuan Chengdi, they are all suffering from this inherited disease. , and eventually died.

But except for the first emperor and Yuan Chengdi, all the ancestors of the Chen family lived to the age of forty or fifty years old, only his two brothers died of this disease when they were less than [-] years old.

At this moment, Li Sui suddenly stopped, and his face gradually became heavy and complicated.

If Emperor Yuan Cheng died at the hands of Yang Chongyuan today, then the previous emperor who died in the same cause as Emperor Yuan Cheng...

"princess--"

Niannu's reminder sounded softly in his ears, and the moment Li Sui withdrew his thoughts, he looked up and saw the lonely emperor sitting on a sedan chair, slowly coming towards them.

When the sedan chair was placed in front of him, Li Sui silently stepped back and saluted. The next moment, Emperor Yuancheng walked over slowly with the support of Chengde. It was as if his soul had been taken away, and his words were exhausted and low that could not be concealed.

"Get up, Ah Man."

Looking at Li Sui who was silent for a long time in front of him, Emperor Yuan Cheng naturally understood that it was because of the death of Empress Yang, and felt a suffocating pain in his heart, so he said after a long time: "I have worked hard for you these days."

After all, Emperor Yuan Cheng quietly raised his head, looked at the brightly lit Lizheng Hall through the short wall and blue tiles, but fell into drowning memories and sorrow.

The Sri Lankan is dead, but how can he go on alone.

While speaking, he noticed Emperor Yuan Cheng passing by slowly, Li Sui turned around and looked, but saw the slender back in front of him under the lonely and cold moonlight, a lot thinner and more bent, obviously it was in the prime of life. The supreme emperor of the past year, but it made people feel the irreversible decline and dilapidation.

The lantern at the gate of the palace fluttered leisurely, and when the figure completely disappeared in front of his eyes, Li Sui turned around indifferently and walked towards the end of the corridor.

"Tell Jiang Lihua, let her look it up."

It seems that Sun Zhong didn't tell her everything, what he did was more and more deadly than what he saw.

No wonder Yang Chongyuan couldn't wait for a moment.

When Li Sui got into the sedan chair, he quietly closed his eyes, but his heart was extremely cold.

Those who love others will always love them.

As far as she is concerned, those who harm others will always be returned.

Emperor Yuan Cheng is chilling, but he has already been punished, but Yang Chongyuan seems to have done nothing, but he has done far more and is more ruthless than Emperor Yuan Cheng.

It turned out that even sister, sister's child, became his pawn in plotting against Emperor Yuan Cheng.

The assassination of drugs, the death of sister, mother and son, one by one were enough to drive Emperor Yuan Cheng into hysteria, and he died without treatment.

But Yang Chongyuan, seemingly without a drop of blood on his hands, sat on a high position as he wished.

When others take a step, Yang Chongyuan can see through the whole situation.

Thinking of this, Li Sui's teeth felt cold.

His way is too smooth.

But they all use the lives of relatives to lay the foundation and build bridges.

How not to be chilling and nauseating.
