The first daughter is poisonous, the lord goes to bed obediently

Chapter 158 Awakening the Spirit, Opening the Coffin

As Zhao Zhen's knife fell to the ground, Feng Xihe looked back and saw Gu Zhun withdrawing his stab, and Gu Shiyin walking forward.

"The concubine came to mourn Mrs. Zhao. The king is worried. I want to come and see for myself."

After Feng Xihe heard this, a slight smile overflowed unconsciously in his eyes.

After Zhao Wuya lifted his robe to salute Gu Shiyin, he wiped the cold sweat from his palms, walked over, and slapped Zhao Zhen resoundingly.

The anger in Zhao Zhen's heart was even more intense, pointing at Aunt He, his eyes cracked, "Father, this vixen is the one who killed my mother and Han'er!"

"Nizi, shut up, old man!" Zhao Wuya slapped Zhao Zhen again, and had someone come over and tie him up, "Your mother was mad at you! Do you still want to mad at your father now!"

"Father!" At this time, Concubine Zhao Gui, who was mourning in front of the coffin, heard the movement, and ran out wearing filial piety, looked at Feng Xihe resentfully and said, "The third brother was born to his mother. It may force mother to death! Mother's death must be hindered by someone else."

Zhao Wuya's complexion darkened, and he reminded: "Imperial Concubine, there are many guests here today, please pay attention to your words and deeds."

Concubine Zhao pouted, she could only feel resentful, and went back to continue burning incense and crying.

Afterwards, Zhao Wuya stepped aside and said to Gu Shiyin respectfully: "Prince Yu can come to mourn Zhuo Jing, if Zhuo Jing knows something underground, he should rest in peace."

Gu Shiyin nodded slightly, took Feng Xihe's hand, and walked into the mourning hall.

Zhao Chu got up in the mourning hall, and when he saw the two people coming in, a sneer appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, after hearing the sound of "The Emperor is here", Emperor Changde walked towards the mourning hall with a solemn expression surrounded by a row of palace people.

Zhao Wuya led all the people in the mansion to kneel and kowtow, a trace of uneasiness flashed in his heart, although he had known that Emperor Changde would come to express condolences today, but his heart beat inexplicably.

Gu Shiyin didn't need to salute Emperor Changde, Feng Xihe also followed him and enjoyed this treatment.

She stopped in her footsteps, looked back, and saw that Emperor Chang De came not only by himself, but also by two people beside him.

One is Gu Jincheng, and the other is the new darling of the harem recently, the concubine Yun, who is known as the reincarnation of Guanyin. Even though she is a concubine, Miss Yun's dress is as plain as ever. Attending today's occasion is not at all disobedient. and.

The concubines in the harem could not show up easily, but Emperor Changde brought Miss Yun to the courtier's house to express condolences, which shows that he loves Miss Yun unusually.

Feng Xihe watched them come step by step, and thought, they are all here.I'm afraid Zhao Chu was waiting for this moment.

"Zhao Aiqing's sorrow and obedience." Emperor Changde walked up to Zhao Wuya, stretched out his hand to give him a hand, and then met Gu Shiyin face to face.After everyone got up, he brought Yun Xiaomei and Gu Jincheng into the mourning hall.

Zhao Zhen, who was tied up, had completely lost his mind, and was still kicking and kicking, clamoring to avenge his mother and Yun Qianhan.

Hearing the voice, Emperor Changde also saw Zhao Zhen who was being pulled aside by his servants, and asked Zhao Wuya puzzledly: "Zhao Aiqing, I recognize him, that is your third son. From what he said, Mrs. Zhao's death It seems there is something else hidden."

Zhao Wuya sighed in his heart, then bowed his head and said: "The death of Zhuojing has dealt such a blow to the dog that he lost his mind, I hope your majesty can't blame it."

"So that's how it is. After I return to the palace, I will send the imperial doctor over." Emperor Changde didn't go into details, took a few sticks of incense from Zhao Wuya's hand, and personally went to burn incense in front of Mrs. Zhao's spirit. Shi's attention.

Those present, the Xiao family members from Mrs. Zhao's mother's family nodded their heads in relief. Although Mrs. Zhao passed away a little early, being able to receive Emperor Changde's condolences can be regarded as a comfort to her.

After Emperor Changde finished offering incense, the maids added a few long-burning lamps. In the mourning hall, the lamps and candles were always bright, and the cigarettes curled up, and the smell of sandalwood was in the nostrils.

Feng Xihe followed closely behind, raised his skirt and crossed the threshold, took the incense from the maid of the Zhao family, and walked to Mrs. Zhao's spirit.

However, before she offered incense, the memorial tablet in front of the mourning hall began to sway from side to side, making a burst of noise, which became more and more intense.

Seeing the tablets engraved with the names of the ancestors of the Zhao family shaking one after another, Gu Shiyin's eyes sank, and Feng Xihe's gaze narrowed slightly.

"The ancestors have appeared?" Someone shouted.

"Is it because Da Furen was wronged, that's why the ancestor got angry and wanted to use this to avenge Da Furen?"

"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense in front of His Majesty!" Zhao Chu heard these discussions and calmed them down.

Afterwards, he apologized to Emperor Changde: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the servants in the mansion are negligent today, which will scare you like this."

"It doesn't matter." Seeing that the tablet was still shaking, Emperor Changde said in a panic, "Perhaps Mrs. Zhao still can't bear to part with you and can't rest in peace. Master should let the master help her again."

"Yes." After Zhao Chu responded, he asked the chanting monk to come to the spirit and recite a few more passages of the mantra.

It's just that there was a stronger "clack" sound from the shaking tablet, which made people tremble with fear.

Everyone was stunned and couldn't help holding their breath.

Emperor Changde showed doubts, and just about to speak, he heard Miss Yun beside him whisper: "Your Majesty, why don't you let the concubine try it. The concubine lives in the temple all year round and is closest to the Buddha, so maybe it can be appeased." Mrs. Zhao."

After the words fell, Emperor Changde nodded and motioned for her to go over.

When Xiaomei Yun arrived at the coffin, she asked someone to remove the joss stick for now.

She drooped her head slightly, closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and murmured Buddhist scriptures.

Miraculously, after she finished chanting, the tablet unexpectedly quieted down and did not move.

Everyone unconsciously sighed, it seems that the reputation of Guanyin's reincarnation is indeed worthy of the name.

Concubine Zhao Gui is different, since Xiaomei Yun entered the palace, most of her favor has been taken away, and she is madly jealous of Xiaomei Yun in her heart.But it was because of Zhao Chu's repeated reminders that she didn't look for Xiaomei Yun.

After a while, Xiaomei Yun wanted to walk back, but when she turned her head and saw Feng Xihe, she stopped again.

Then, she said coldly: "Princess Yu, you should stop offering incense to Mrs. Zhao."

"Okay." Feng Xihe slowly withdrew the incense and returned it to the servant girl's hand. Anyway, she didn't want to burn incense for Mrs. Zhao devoutly, so it was just right.

And Xiaomei Yun's words made people think about it, and couldn't help thinking that the abnormality of the tablet might be related to Feng Xihe's arrival, and I don't know how Feng Xihe usually offended Mrs. Zhao.

Yun Xiaomei left silently from the coffin, and when she passed by Zhao Chu's side, her body froze slightly, and there were mixed emotions in her eyes.

She really wanted to turn her head to look at him, but she was trying to restrain herself, and finally returned to Emperor Changde's side.

Such a short distance, but she felt very far away.

Feng Xihe retreated to Gu Shiyin's side and stood up calmly, but felt the back of her hand warm up suddenly. Looking down, she saw Gu Shiyin holding her hand.

Gu Shiyin looked at her with his head tilted, his eyes were shining brightly like pearls fainting, as if he was telling her in this way that no matter what happened today, he was there for everything.

Feng Xi and Mo Ran looked away, feeling a lot more at ease in an instant.

After the other guests finished expressing their condolences and the time came, the people who helped the spirit walked to the mahogany coffin in an orderly manner, and several sons of the Zhao family also went to help the spirit.

The coffin is made of cypress wood, and the red paint looks like it has just been painted, exuding an oily light.

"Hey, why is Da Furen's coffin so heavy?" Not long after, when one of the spirit supporters was carrying the coffin, he felt as if there was a heavy load on his shoulders, and looked at the others in surprise.

The other spirit supporters also didn't know why, and stared at him, expressing that they couldn't lift it.

Zhao Chu, who was at the front, suddenly coughed a few times, choked up and said, "Does mother have an unfinished last wish, and she doesn't want to go?"

Everyone gasped, looking at the tablet that had been shaken just now, wondering if Mrs. Zhao's death was really strange?
As soon as Zhao Chu finished speaking, Concubine Zhao ran to Emperor Changde with a sad face, knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, the concubine's mother is wronged! She left suddenly. A few days ago, the concubine listened to Said that she was killed by an adulterer, so she died suddenly."

Emperor Changde's brows were slightly drawn together, and he said in a deep voice, "Since you were victimized by an adulterer, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Concubine Zhao's bright face was covered with tears, her gaze turned to Aunt He, and she sobbed, "The concubine has been looking for opportunities to find out the murderer for my mother. However, after my mother passed away, the aunt at home was anxious to help her mother Encoffining, there is no chance to inspect the corpse at all."

"Besides, the young duke advises the courtiers and concubines that it is a taboo to perform an autopsy on a person of high morals and prestige like his mother, and if he fails to do so well, he will bear the reputation of being unfilial."

"Mother definitely doesn't want to see that after she passed away, we brothers and sisters still worry about her, let the concubine treat her as a way to enjoy the rest of the world, and send her off quietly for the last time."

"But judging from today's situation, she didn't feel at ease when she left. She wanted to reveal the real culprit behind the scenes!"

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for the concubine's mother!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Ruyuan and the other brothers and sisters of the Zhao family ran over and knelt down together, "I beg Your Majesty to be merciful and allow to open the coffin for mother's autopsy and find out the real cause of mother's death!"

Zhao Wuya stared dumbfounded at the children who knelt down and begged to open the coffin for autopsy, a flame burst out in his heart, he never expected that they would do this without telling him.

Feng Xihe watched from the side, thinking, Zhao Chu deliberately didn't tell Zhao Wuya the plan, probably because he knew that Zhao Wuya would protect Aunt He, and if he said it, he would get in the way.

However, it was because Zhao Wuya was ignorant that the play was more interesting.

Mrs. Zhao's biological father, Mrs. Xiao, after hearing what they said, suddenly became furious and glared at Zhao Wuya.

He didn't know the hidden story in it at all, thanks to the fact that he thought his daughter was really mad at Zhao Zhen.

Therefore, the old master Xiao also begged Emperor Changde: "My minister begs the sage to be my daughter, and find out the truth!"

Emperor Changde's eyes darkened. Under such great pressure, of course he couldn't dismiss their request.

"Find someone to do an autopsy!"
