The king's fierce concubine: women don't be arrogant

Chapter 470: The Dust Settles

This request made many people below slightly dissatisfied, and some even showed sarcasm on their faces.However, Tang Ling Wujue only paused for a moment, then winked at the waiter next to him.The waiter nodded knowingly and handed over a bouquet of incense.

Mu Lan took it respectfully, lit it, and knelt down.In the past, because she knew it was Meng Yiqing, she only saluted for everyone to see, but this time, it was the first time that she sincerely apologized to the queen mother.

After kowtowing, she stood up, looked at Dongling Wujue again, raised the brightest smile to him, then looked at the people kneeling below, and said, "Why don't you see the national teacher Mo Yan today?"

Dong Ling Wujue looked at her, and said: "He has something to do, so he can't come."

When Mu Lan heard this, she was slightly surprised. On this day, what could be more important than attending the funeral of the Empress Dowager?However, looking at Dong Ling Wujue's expression, it didn't look like there was anything abnormal.

Thinking of this, Mu Lan laughed a little. She is a dying person, what is she worrying about so much?Life is inherently impermanent. Although it is a pity not to be able to see him for the last time, it is good to see this kind of scene.

Mu Lan sighed, and said with a smile, "Why haven't you started yet? I, the sacrificial person, will not preside over the execution, will I?"

Dongling Wujuejing didn't seem too anxious, said: "If, you don't have any last words to say."

Last words?Mu Lan took one last look at him and said, "Then, please take care, goodbye."

goodbye.It was this word again, Dong Ling Wujue withdrew his gaze from her, turned to the waiter behind him, and said, "Bring it up."

The waiter nodded his head, and after a while, he came forward with a plate covered with a white cloth.On the plate, there is a white jade porcelain pot and a jade cup of the same color.

Seeing this, Mu Lan was quite surprised.Although he promised to let her die with dignity, she only dared to imagine that she could get a whole body, but she never thought that it would be poisoned wine.Compared with Bai Ling and Dao Ren, this method of death is indeed the most merciful.

The waiter stopped in front of Dongling Wujue, and Dongling Wujue raised his hand to hold the jade pot, and poured a full glass of wine for her himself.

Seeing this scene, the people in the audience were stunned and exchanged eye contact with each other. They didn't know who this woman was. Since it was a sacrifice, how could Dong Ling Wujue pour wine for her personally?

Mu Lan took it calmly, picked up the wine glass full of poisonous wine, put it up to her nose and sniffed it, half playfully, half seriously raised her eyebrows and said: "This poison...does it work well?"

Dongling Wujue raised the corners of his lips in a rare way, and said: "The medicine will kill you."

"That's good." Mu Lan nodded in satisfaction, lowered her eyes, brought the wine glass to her lips, and drank it down.

The cold liquid becomes hot as soon as it enters the throat, reaching the heart.But after a while, Mu Lan felt dizzy for a while, as if someone had emptied the strength in her body in an instant.With the sweetness in his throat, the scene in front of him flashed across his eyes, and he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

The onset of this poison does not seem to be very painful. What is the principle of killing people?After this thought crossed her mind, she completely lost consciousness.

Dong Ling Wujue glanced at Mu Lan who was lying motionless on the ground, and raised her hand.Immediately, an imperial doctor came forward to check her pulse and breathing.After a while, he got up and replied: "Go back to your majesty, the human sacrifice has gone."

Dongling Wujue nodded, and the guards stepped forward to lift the corpse on the ground and send it to the tomb where human sacrifices were piled up in the imperial tomb.

At the same time, with the sound of a cannon, the empress dowager's coffin was also sealed in the coffin and carried into the imperial mausoleum.

No one noticed that in the crowd, Jin Jing watched all this quietly, with a meaningful smile floating on the corner of his lips.

For the next two days, Dongling Wujue remained in the imperial mausoleum according to the etiquette system until all the ceremonies were completed.Everything went smoothly, except for a little episode that happened in the middle.

It happened the next day, when the tomb was about to be sealed, a person he had almost forgotten appeared in front of him, begging to offer incense and kowtow for the Queen Mother.

The man was dressed in plain clothes, and his long black and soft hair was only combed in a simple hairstyle behind his head. The plain face without makeup was a little thin, but it had a different kind of delicate beauty.

This person is exactly Rong Zixuan who has been abolished.

"Why are you here?" Seeing her, a slight unhappiness brewed between Dong Ling Wujue's brows.

Rong Zixuan heard the words, with a demure face, said: "The servant girl is now the constant servant of Prince Min, and she came with Prince Min. Originally, the servant girl's status is low, so she shouldn't take the liberty to appear in front of you, but the queen mother treated me badly in the past. Bo, I would like to implore you to allow me to go and offer incense and kowtow to the Empress Dowager to do my best."

Originally, the identity of the deposed queen was no different from that of a commoner. Generally speaking, in the second half of her life, she either shaved her hair and became a nun, or she was a lonely old man.But Rong Zixuan's fate was good, after she was deposed, Dongling Yingxian came to ask for an order, imploring her to be given to the palace as a maidservant.Dong Ling Wujue knew that Ying Xian wanted to keep her in the palace, but it was okay.

Dongling Wujue glanced at her coldly, and said: "You are the daughter of a criminal minister, where do you have the qualifications? The queen mother will never want to see you again, you still keep this heart and wait to help your family Offer incense and kowtow."

The Rong family colluded with each other and conspired to usurp the country. He was about to settle the crime with them.

Rong Zixuan's eyebrows twitched, she knelt up straight, and said: "My servant knows that my family has committed a lot of crimes, so I dare not ask for your mercy. But this servant is sincerely repentant, and I ask you to learn from me."

"Whether you repent or not has nothing to do with me." Dong Ling Wujue waved his hand and said, "Take her down and let Prince Min rectify the rules in his residence."

Rong Zixuan didn't expect him to be so decisive, her eyes suddenly dimmed, the guards came up and picked her up without any explanation, and then left.

When he turned around, he saw a figure in white clothes approaching him.His silky black hair fluttered in the wind, and his clean and dusty face was full of vigor and vigor.When he got close, those beautiful eyes were focused on her with a cold smile.

"Concubine De." Rong Zixuan murmured softly, but was shocked by the hatred hidden in her eyes and felt chills all over her body.However, before she could take a closer look, the other party had passed her and walked towards Dong Ling Wujue.As for her, she was held up by the guards and walked towards the outside of the imperial mausoleum without turning back.

A few days later, Rong Qingru was convicted of collaborating with the enemy to judge the country, killing the king and plotting chaos. Because the queen mother died and the emperor gave amnesty to the world, only the Rongfu was searched, and the main criminal Rong Qingru was beheaded for public display. The other accomplices were sentenced and punished according to law.

After the dust settled on this matter, Dongling Wujue drew up another imperial decree in the early court of the same day: "I am deeply saddened by the death of the Empress Dowager. The attack this time was due to my negligence. Therefore, I decided to follow the example of the people. , to keep filial piety for my mother for three years. Within three years, there will be no drafts, no taxes, and from now on, all rituals, music and celebrations will be simplified to benefit the world."

For a time, the courtiers changed, and the people's hearts were in the direction, and Western Chu became more and more prosperous under the prosperity of the country and the people's peace.

Three years later.

In Jeju City, the "Yanyu Building", which has been open for nearly three years, is full again in the past few days.There is no other reason, because these few days of each month are the days when Mr. Wu, who is popular all over the city, goes out to see customers.In the past three years, every few days, the Yanyu Building must be full of seats.Among them, quite a few came here for their fame.
