Shen Yi's Darkness and Depression

Chapter 536 Chaser

Ever since Dugu Xiaomeng married into the royal family and moved out of the mansion, this Dugu mansion has become much quieter, and there is no more noise and hustle and bustle before. Even Aunt Jing is not used to it. Although there is only one person missing, she feels that the mansion is less. She has gained a lot of popularity, and sometimes she even has no one to talk to.

Dugu Ruyuan is still busy with work, leaves early and returns late, Dugu Xiaoyue often locks herself in her boudoir and does not leave the door.

The servants in the house were afraid of being in charge of the mother, so they often just nodded or shook their heads, for fear that if they said something wrong, they would be upset and they would be taught a lesson.

Jing Yisu misses Concubine Jing very much, but she can't visit her because the emperor has ordered that Concubine Jing is not allowed to visit relatives since Concubine Jing became insane. Even if she sent someone to inquire about the news, she still found nothing, and occasionally asked her husband in a hurry, but there was no useful news. She was so anxious that she turned around, but there was nothing she could do.

"Yo~ Father-in-law, you have worked hard. My sister asked you to come, right?" Facing the sudden group of palace people, Jing Yisu was both surprised and happy. It turned out to be bad news.

"By God's blessing, the emperor ordered that Jing's Yiqing passed away on the eighth day of the eighth lunar month. She was virtuous and well-known, virtuous and orderly, and she was a model of the palace. She passed away with great heartache, and she was also named a queen to show her praise... "The leading palace man was Xiao Caozi. He had a pale face and didn't want to say a word other than reading the imperial edict. He was afraid of saying the wrong thing and fearing that he would not be able to control his emotions.

Jing Yisu only listened to the meaning of passing away in the first half, and hurriedly grabbed Xiao Caozi's clothes and cried, "You must have made a mistake, how could my sister die so well? Don't scare me, don't scare me I……"

"Madame Dugu, don't be like this, I know you are sad, but this... is the truth, please forgive me!!!" Xiao Caozi took two steps back and finally broke away from Jing Yisu's nonsense.

"How could it be? How could it be? Impossible... Impossible..." Jing Yisu burst into tears as she beat the ground.

"Mother, accept the order!" Although Dugu Xiaoyue was so calm at such a young age, she was convinced that the news of Concubine Jing's death was true, and she still held back a tear from falling down her eyes.

"Xiaoyue, you are the only mother left, your aunt..." Jing Yisu turned around and hugged her daughter and began to cry.

"Mother, no matter when, the rules and etiquette must not be forgotten." Dugu Xiaoyue entrusted her mother to the care of her servants, and she knelt respectfully and raised her hands above her head to receive the imperial edict.

This is the first time that Dugu Xiaoyue has heard of the death of a relative since she can remember. It turns out that when people are in pain, they don't stop crying.

"Ma'am, ma'am..." The servant at the side couldn't hold her steady, so that Jing Yisu fell heavily to the ground and passed out.

"Send Madam back to the room first." After Dugu Xiaoyue ordered, she carefully put away the imperial decree.

"Take good care of Madam, and the slaves won't bother you much." Xiao Caozi was very polite to Dugu Xiaoyue, after all, she is the younger sister of the Crown Princess, "Miss Dugu, please stay."

"Eunuch, I'm sorry to send you off." Dugu Xiaoyue looked at the back of a group of palace people leaving with tears in her eyes, she squatted on the ground and shed tears silently.

The girl who has not reached the age of hair should be happy, but at this moment she must face the grief of her aunt's death.

She pretended to be calm on the outside, but Dugu Xiaoyue was still a child in her heart, so helpless and weak that she could only vent her emotions by crying.

"Xiaoyue, what's the matter?" Dugu Ruyuan heard that his father-in-law had come to the mansion, and rushed back from the Zongcha mansion immediately.

"Daddy~Daddy~" Dugu Xiaoyue tightly hugged Dugu Ruyuan's leg as if looking for support.

"Xiaoyue, don't cry, or you... Auntie will leave without worry." Dugu Ruyuan knew that Concubine Jing had passed away.

"Father, just leave after what auntie said?" Dugu Xiaoyue murmured weeping.

"Xiaoyue, suffering from madness is like death for your aunt. She doesn't even remember who she is, and she often makes troubles for people around her. Even the emperor scratches and bites her. It's hard for your sister, too. Taking care of her all day is tiring and exhausting, this...is a relief." Dugu Ruyuan let out a long sigh of relief, Jingfei passed away peacefully, which can be regarded as a peace of mind for his wife.

"Daddy has seen Auntie's crazy appearance?" Dugu Xiaoyue has been thinking about Concubine Jing very much, but she has never seen her.

"Well, people are neither humans nor ghosts, but fortunately the emperor will never leave, and take care of him patiently." Dugu Ruyuan didn't expect the emperor to be so infatuated with Concubine Jing, "Where's your mother?"

"Daddy, my mother has fainted again." Before Dugu Xiaoyue had time to visit her mother, she wanted to adjust her emotions, but her father bumped into her as soon as she shed tears.

"Hey, your mother is really overwhelmed now, Xiaoyue, go and see your mother... The news of your aunt's death must have hit her hard, and she must stay with your mother every step of the way these days, and I will also Enlighten her." Dugu Ruyuan was most afraid that his wife would go to Tianfu City to spoil important people, and if the emperor was alarmed, it would be a bad end.

"By the way, father should keep this edict." Dugu Xiaoyue carefully handed the edict to her father.

"Give it to your mother." Dugu Ruyuan pondered.

"My mother should be sad again when she sees it. Although the emperor chased after my aunt, what's the use if she's gone?" Dugu Xiaoyue pouted with resentment.

"Pursuing your aunt for what?" Dugu Ruyuan was extremely surprised.

"Queen! My mother has been looking forward to having a queen sister, who knows..." This idea coincides with Jing Yisu, because since Dugu Xiaomeng became a princess, Dugu Xiaoyue has also begun to look forward to her own princess. There can be a queen sister, but her mother's wish has come true, and her wish is still at the level of ideas.

"Empress?" Dugu Ruyuan snatched the edict and read it carefully from beginning to end, "Hey... this... can be regarded as honoring the ancestors of the Jing clan." Dugu Ruyuan couldn't figure out the real intention of the emperor. She was loved so much but was not helped to be the empress of the palace. It is so strange that she was made a queen just after she passed away.

"Who else is there in the Jing family besides my mother? Who will leave the name of the empress to listen to?" For the first time, Dugu Xiaoyue felt the pressure from the royal family. Worried about the status of her sister.

"You don't understand this, but anyone who can be related to your aunt can enjoy a little bit of her honor." Although Dugu Ruyuan didn't directly explain it, Dugu Xiaoyue already understood it. In comparison, she My sister is the biggest beneficiary.

Everyone knows that Concubine Jing's younger sister is Madam Dugu, but few people know that Madam Xiao Dugu is the stepmother of the Crown Princess.

Those who are close are not blood relatives, and those who are distant are not strangers, so it is unknown to speculate on cause and effect.
