Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 275 Questioning
After a long time, Princess Mingyu gradually stopped crying, she stood up and stared blankly at the empress dowager's body.

Su Qingning ordered someone to prepare warm water, thinking that when Princess Mingyu came over, she would simply clean it up first.

For a long time, Princess Mingyu didn't move. Su Qingning and Lu Zhaoyi looked at each other and walked towards Princess Mingyue.

"My condolences to the princess. The queen mother has passed away. I definitely don't want to see the princess so sad."

Coming to Princess Mingyu, Su Qingning hesitated for a moment, and spoke softly.

Before, she had had contact with Princess Mingyu, and felt that she was a very gentle person, different from the Queen Mother, and also different from Xuanyuanqi.

She has a very good relationship with the emperor, so this time the matter of the Chu family did not involve her.

Hearing the voice, Princess Mingyu turned around and looked at Su Qingning. Her expression was a little cold, "How did the queen mother die? Why did she have such an expression? What did you do to her?"

At this time, Princess Mingyu was a little emotional. Although there was a disagreement with the Queen Mother, it was her mother anyway.

"What the princess said... I'm afraid I misunderstood something. We didn't do anything to the Queen Mother. She is the Queen Mother after all."

"I don't know if the princess is aware of the Queen Mother's poisoning. Long before, the Queen Mother's legs and feet had problems and she couldn't move around. She was poisoned and often became angry, so that the poison accelerated and her eyes became blind."

"Continuing on like this, I'm afraid that sooner or later, she will lose her five senses, and finally die in pain. I'm afraid the princess is more aware of the empress dowager's temperament than this palace."

"Probably because she didn't want to die without dignity, that's why the queen mother chose such an extreme method. The queen mother swallowed gold and died. This was discovered from her hands."

Handing the gold that had been in her hand to Princess Mingyu, Su Qingning looked at her without much expression on her face.

Seeing the gold in Su Qingning's hands, Princess Mingyu's tears fell, she took the gold and cried again.

This is a very painful way to die, and it is different from drinking poison.

Although Princess Mingyu had never seen what kind of torture the gold swallower had to go through, she also wanted to know what the queen mother had suffered before she died.

This can be seen from the empress dowager's ferocious expression.

Even if the Empress Dowager was discovered in time at that time, it was useless, the gold was swallowed, and she couldn't spit it out at all, and no one could make her spit it out.

"I was impulsive. Please don't blame Concubine Su. However, Concubine Su will explain to me later how the Queen Mother was poisoned." After a while, Princess Mingyu's emotions calmed down again, and she looked at Su Qingning , Blessed her body for her.

She didn't know much about the affairs in the harem. It stands to reason that the empress should be here when the empress dowager passed away, but she didn't see the empress, so she was a little confused.

"Princess, let's wash your face first." Seeing Princess Mingyu's red eyes, Su Qingning said, Princess Mingyu followed the palace staff to wash her face, and returned to the palace.

"I don't know where my sister-in-law is?" Thinking of the previous doubts, Princess Mingyu looked at Su Qingning and asked her.

"The princess doesn't know yet?" Hearing her question, Lu Zhaoyi was a little surprised.

"What's wrong?" Princess Mingyu looked at Lu Zhaoyi more and more confused, "Could it be that something happened to the emperor's wife?"

"Presumably the princess knows about the Chu family's rebellion. Before the emperor came back, the Chu family brought people to counterattack and entered the palace with the intention of killing Concubine Su and her two princes."

"Fortunately, the emperor has made arrangements in advance, so Concubine Su and the princes were not injured."

"After the Chu family entered the palace, several palaces were ransacked. Concubine Chu in Roufu Palace was robbed by them, and the empress and empress in Fengyang Palace were injured by them. down."

Seeing Princess Mingyu looking at her, Lu Zhaoyi told her everything she knew. After hearing what Lu Zhaoyi said, Princess Mingyu looked shocked, obviously not knowing about it.

"Then...how is the queen's wife now?" Princess Mingyu's relationship with the queen is still good, so she cares about her very much.

"The empress was seriously injured and she was recuperating in Fengyang Palace. The emperor issued an order not to allow anyone to disturb her."

Su Qingning knew that the empress had left the palace, but Lu Zhaoyi didn't know about it. She rushed ahead of Lu Zhaoyi and answered Princess Mingyu's question.

At this time, no one should be allowed to go to Fengyang Palace, otherwise, the news of the empress leaving the palace might be known.

"It seems that the emperor's sister-in-law is seriously injured. I'll go see her after I finish dealing with my mother's funeral."

After listening to Su Qingning's words, Princess Mingyu nodded. When she said this, Su Qingning was slightly relieved.

Naturally, the Empress Dowager's funeral will not be done in Shoukang Palace. At this moment, Dianzhong Province has already carried the coffin over.

There were three pairs of eyes staring at her, so the palace people naturally did not dare to neglect, they carefully put the empress dowager's body into the coffin.

Along with the servants of Dianzhong Province, there are also people from Qin Tianjian. These ancient people are the most particular about Feng Shui and fate.

When the empress dowager was put into the coffin, the chief supervisor of the Qin Tianjian watched the whole process until the empress dowager was put into the coffin, and then gave other orders.

"Concubine Su, everything has been prepared in the Lotus Hall, and you can invite the Empress Dowager to the Lotus Hall at any time."

After everything was settled, the chief supervisor of Qin Tianjian came to Su Qingning and saluted her.

He did know that the one in front of him was the emperor's favorite concubine and the biological mother of the two princes.

"Understood, since that's the case, then invite the queen mother to the Lotus Hall." The funeral affairs will be handled in the Lotus Hall, Su Qingning ordered, and the palace people in the palace, under the command of Qin Tianjian, will send the Queen Mother His coffin was carried to the Lotus Hall and placed in another coffin.

This is the regulation of the royal family. If it is among the people, those small households only need one coffin, but for the big ones, there is another coffin besides the coffin.

The more things there are outside the coffin, the more valuable the identity of the people inside is. This is the first time Su Qingning handles these things after coming to ancient times.

Fortunately, there are always people around to remind her, otherwise, she really doesn't know what to do.

Today is hot, and there are a lot of ice cubes in the Lotus Hall, even around the coffin, it is also full.

This is to prevent the corpse from decomposing too quickly. After all, according to the identity of the empress dowager, it will have to stop for several days.

"If it's hot today, wait for you to discuss it with the emperor, and stop for a few days, otherwise, you will have to stay here for a few days, it is really hard."

Lu Zhaoyi spoke in a low voice, reminding Su Qingning that the Lotus Hall was a bit cold because of the ice cubes.

It was hot outside, but cold inside the temple. Under such conditions, people could easily get sick.

Furthermore, there are two little princes in Yuxiu Palace, and Lu Zhaoyi's behavior is also for Su Qingning's consideration.
