Mrs. Yipin's Farmer's Wife

Chapter 949
Empress Dowager Mingrui trembled all over, and there was a deep disbelief in her eyes, with such an expression, she seemed to believe it.

"Empress Dowager." Liu Qiao continued, as if she didn't feel that this was adding salt to the wound, maybe she knew it, but this is what she wants now.

She is in pain, why should others feel better? !
"What people do is like water that is poured out. There is no chance to take back the water, and there is no chance to make up for what you do! Even if you are the most honorable empress dowager!"

Empress Dowager Mingrui's complexion changed at an extremely fast speed.

Liu Qiao didn't say any more, turned around and left, walked out of the bedroom, out of Ci'an Palace, did not get on the sedan chair parked outside, but walked away from the palace step by step.

I don't know how long I walked, and finally came out.

And just as she was about to board the carriage to leave, a person rushed out, it was the nun in charge of Ci'an Palace.

"Princess..."

Liu Qiao's face was indifferent, and he didn't respond to her words.

"Eldest princess..." The nanny looked terrified, "The empress dowager asked the servants to tell the eldest princess a word... The empress dowager said...you will always be her daughter! Always will be!"

There seemed to be a momentary fluctuation in Liu Qiao's eyes, and then he got into the carriage without saying a word.

The carriage drove away slowly.

It was night, and a death knell was heard from the palace, which rang throughout the capital.

Seven or seven forty-nine beeps, the queen mother collapsed and passed away.

Empress Dowager Mingrui passed away, and white silk was once again hung in the capital. The imperial court ordered the people to ban the restaurant Chu Guan from opening for one month, and the people to ban all festive activities within three months.

Women of the seventh rank and above in the capital enter the palace to mourn.

The harem concubines keep filial piety in the Ci'an Palace.

Sad cries resounded through the majestic Ci'an Palace.

Concubine De is the highest-ranking concubine in the harem, so the funeral of Empress Dowager Mingrui naturally fell into her hands. She also had to take care of Emperor Taiping and arrange the funeral ceremony. In just a few days, Concubine De lost a lot of weight.

"Mother Concubine, please take a break. People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rituals will be there for the funeral!" Princess Biyang couldn't bear to see the death of her imperial grandmother. As a granddaughter, she was also sad, but if she was heartbroken, she would not No, after all these years, their grandparents and grandchildren are not considered close, at least compared with their own mother and concubine, they are far behind, "Father and emperor are already like this, and I don't want my mother and concubine to be exhausted!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Concubine De reprimanded lightly, "That's your imperial grandmother!"

"I know!" Bi Yang was a little annoyed, "It's just..." She didn't continue her rebuttal under the stern expression of her mother, she pursed her lips, and diverted her anger, "It's Aunt Yong'an after all, isn't it! I love her so much, now that the emperor's grandmother is gone, she doesn't even come! Moreover, I heard that the last person I saw before the emperor's grandmother passed away was her! Concubine mother, you say she..."

"Enough!" Concubine De interrupted her daughter's words, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know the situation! Princess Yong'an is the Empress Dowager's daughter, how can a daughter not feel sad when her mother dies?"

"But she really didn't show her face!" Bi Yang was still not angry, "Even Aunt Yongshou was guarding the coffin, but she was so lucky that she didn't even come! Concubine Mu, I think she is cold-blooded, In the future, don't meddle in her affairs!"

After finishing speaking, she lowered her voice and said: "She has a grudge against the crown prince. Now that the emperor's grandmother is gone, and the father is like this, the crown prince will definitely not let her go. Concubine mother, don't..."

"Okay!" Concubine De interrupted her daughter, "Concubine Mother understands what you mean, Concubine Mother knows what to do."

"Mother..."

"Go and watch before the spirit, mother and concubine go to see your father!"

Seeing this, Princess Biyang had no choice but to respond, and turned back to the mourning hall to continue to watch.

Concubine De looked at her daughter's leaving back and sighed deeply. It's not that she didn't understand what her daughter said, nor did she know what happened between Yong'an and the Queen Mother, but if Yong'an is a cold-blooded person, She didn't quite believe it.

Both the emperor and the queen mother are not foolish people, if Yong'an is such a person, it is impossible for them to trust her so much.

Now Yong'an is like this...

She was worried that something big was going to happen!

Concubine De arrived at the Qianyuan Hall with a lot of worries, but after entering the Qianyuan Hall, she found out that the crown prince was there, she was startled, and walked quickly into the bedroom.

In the bedroom, only one person was seen.

Qin Xiao!

Concubine De stepped forward and tried her best to cover it up, but she still let out her panic, "His Royal Highness, why are you here?"

Qin Xiao turned sideways, with a smile that was not a smile, "What does Empress Dowager think this hall will do?"

"I just didn't expect His Highness to be here." Concubine De stepped forward, sat by the bed, took an embroidered handkerchief and gently wiped Emperor Taiping's forehead, trying to be as peaceful as possible.

Qin Xiao continued: "Is that so? I thought that the Concubine De concubine thought that I would murder the emperor and that's why I was so nervous."

Concubine De looked at him sideways, frowned and said: "Why would your Highness think so? Although I am a deep palace woman, I am not someone who listens to rumors. Your Highness has a heart of benevolence and filial piety towards the emperor. How could he commit suicide? What about the father?"

"Really?" Qin Xiao smiled, "Then this palace will thank you, Madam."

"Your Highness is serious." Concubine De turned her eyes to look at Emperor Taiping, and said sadly: "I am a woman in this palace, what I can do is to do my best to take care of the emperor, other things..." Turning her eyes, I implore Said: "It still depends on His Royal Highness the Prince."

After speaking, he got up and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Qin Xiao hurriedly took a step back.

Concubine De raised her head, "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager is gone, the emperor must not have any more accidents, and please send someone to find the antidote as soon as possible to save the emperor!"

Qin Xiao bent down to help her up, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this palace will definitely do everything possible to find a way to save Emperor Father!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Whether it's a courtier or a son of man, this is what I, Qin Xiao, should do!" Qin Xiao said seriously, "I can't bear this thank you from Empress Defei!"

Concubine De lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with an embroidered handkerchief, "No matter what, I and the Emperor can only rely on Your Highness."

"This is what a son-in-law should do." Qin Xiao continued, turning his gaze to Emperor Taiping, "Father looks good today, thanks to the empress's considerate care."

Concubine De turned back to Emperor Taiping, "That's all I can do in this palace. I hope that the ancestors and the empress dowager will bless the emperor with the spirit of heaven to get through this calamity as soon as possible." After finishing speaking, she lowered her head and wiped her tears. He said to Qin Xiao: "Since Your Highness is guarding the spirit of the Empress Dowager and busy with state affairs, it is better to go back and rest first, as long as the emperor has my palace here."

"Then I'll have to thank you, Madam." Qin Xiao said, then bowed and turned to leave.
