Fengming Tianxia's Concubine Empress

Chapter 124 Biological Daughter
"Yide, go prepare the car, I'm leaving the palace."

"Your Majesty." Eunuch Li knelt on the ground as he spoke, begging bitterly, "Your Majesty, your body is indeed not fit for the exhaustion of boats and cars. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please think twice!" Lu Yan knelt down and said.

Yu Mingqi closed his eyes in pain, as much as he hoped, as much as he was disappointed, he owed too much to his daughter, he thought he would still have a chance to make it up, but now it is impossible.

When Yu Mingqi opened his eyes again, his eyes were already clear, "Lieutenant General Lu Yan of the Imperial Guard obeys the order!"

"Yes, my minister is here."

"I order you to bring the best coffin and go to the bottom of the cliff. Be sure to bring Princess Chaohua's body back to me safely!"

"Yes, I have taken orders, and I will do it now!" After saying that, Lu Yan saluted and got up, and strode out of the hall.

"Yide, go to the prime minister's residence and inform Shangguanhe to let him enter the palace immediately."

"Yes, slaves follow the order."

After everyone left, Yu Mingqi got up slowly, turned around and walked towards the inner room.

Half an hour later, Shangguanhe stepped into the gate of the palace again. Although it was only a few months later, to him, it seemed as if a century had passed.

Seeing that Shangguanhe stopped, Eunuch Li immediately urged: "Prime Minister, the emperor is waiting for you."

"Well, let's go."

"Prime Minister, your majesty is in the inner room. Miscellaneous households are not allowed in. You can go in by yourself." Eunuch Li said respectfully.

"Okay, thank you, Eunuch Li." Shangguanhe replied.

He didn't ask about court affairs for a long time, but now he doesn't hear anything outside the window, and only hears the sound of chanting sutras, so naturally he doesn't know why Yu Mingqi suddenly summoned him into the palace, he hesitated for a moment, and slowly Slowly pushed open the door of the inner room.

A sense of sadness in the room suddenly hit his face, coupled with the dim light in the room, it made him a little out of breath for a while.

Shangguanhe walked into the room, only to see Yu Mingqi standing by the window sill with his back turned to him, that figure looked even more lonely in this desolate room.

"Your Majesty." Shangguan said with a respectful salute.

Yu Mingqi turned around when he heard the words, and when he saw that it was Shangguanhe, he responded calmly: "You are here."

"Your Majesty, what happened? Why are you so haggard now?" Shangguan He asked with concern, he had heard about Yu Mingqi's illness a long time ago, but a few days ago, when Shangguan Gao Yang returned, he said that the Emperor's health had recovered The ground is almost there, but I don't know that when I saw it today, it became more and more serious.

"Zhaohua is dead, Zhaohua is really dead."

As Yu Mingqi said, he turned around and continued to look at the plum tree outside the window.So he didn't see Shangguan and the slightly stunned expression on his face.

Didn't Princess Zhaohua fall off the cliff and die a few months ago?Why did the emperor suddenly mention this today?Is it because of this that the emperor is so sad?But it shouldn't be, half a year has passed since this incident.

Yu Mingqi turned around again, looked at Shangguanhe, "I found Zhaohua's body at the bottom of the cliff."

"Your Majesty, you?" Shangguanhe looked at him in disbelief. He never thought that Yu Mingqi would never give up looking for Princess Chaohua in the past few months. Could it be that Chun'er is really not his daughter, but the Emperor's? ?This realization made him shudder. Sometimes the truth is far more cruel than reality.

Seeing Shangguan He's surprised expression, Yu Mingqi knew it was time to tell him the truth.

"Prime Minister, what I'm going to say next may hurt you, but I have to tell you."

"Your Majesty, you are too serious. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Yu Mingqi took a deep breath and said, "Zhaohua is my daughter, the biological daughter of Zhen and Hui'er!"

Yu Mingqi's words exploded in his heart like a thunderbolt. Shangguan and He could only feel their brains buzzing, and their headaches were severe. It is one thing to know something, but another thing to say it. The former can still comfort It's not true for me, but the latter can make people feel so painful that they can't breathe, and the pain is so numb.

"I'm sorry for you!"

Shangguan opened and closed his lips, but nothing came out.

At this moment, Eunuch Li's respectful and shrill voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Commander Su and the others have already returned to the palace, and they are waiting outside the palace."

"Xuan!"

Yu Mingqi said as he raised his legs and walked towards the door, but at the moment he was about to open the door, he suddenly turned around and said to Shangguanhe: "Prime Minister, they brought Zhaohua back, you can come with me have a look."

After finishing speaking, Yu Mingqi walked out without looking back.

The moment the door closed, a silent tear flowed from Shangguanhe's eyes, as if he heard the sound of his heart breaking.

Hui'er, I have doubted Chun'er's life experience more than once, but it was just a suspicion, but now, the suspicion has become true.

Shangguanhe's mind was constantly replaying all the past moments between him and his beloved Tang Lanhui, there were laughter, sadness, bitterness, and sweetness. He stared blankly at the direction of the door for a long time. Can't get back to God.

Although the inner room is only a few dozen steps away from the main hall of Qianhe Hall, one is in the front yard and the other is in the back yard, but Yu Mingqi felt that it was as far away as tens of miles, so he quickened his pace unconsciously.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Eunuch Li shouted softly, stepped forward quickly, and supported Yu Mingqi who was about to fall. After recovering from a serious illness, his body is indeed not as good as before.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, let's go." Yu Mingqi grabbed Eunuch Li's arm, as if in a daze, his eyes looked straight ahead without focus, and the hope in those eyes made Eunuch Li anxious.

Eunuch Li sighed and followed quickly.

"The emperor is here!" Eunuch Li shouted loudly when he was about to enter the hall.

Commander Su and Deputy General Lu in the hall heard the words, straightened their clothes immediately, then knelt down and bowed respectfully, saying: "The humble Su Deliang, Lu Yan kowtowed to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

"Aiqing get down quickly." There was a little excitement in that soft voice, but his eyes rolled around, as if he was looking for something.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Before the two stood up, Yu Mingqi looked at them suspiciously, and said disappointedly: "Commander Su, where is my princess? Why didn't I see her?"

The two looked at each other, and then Su Deliang said: "Reporting to the emperor, the coffin of Princess Zhaohua, I have ordered someone to park it at the gate of the palace temporarily. I don't know where to put the coffin of the princess, so I came here to ask the emperor for instructions."

Su Deliang and the others knew the true identity of Princess Chaohua, so he didn't know how to arrange it, whether to carry it into the palace?Or send it to the prime minister's mansion?
How could Yu Mingqi not know what they were thinking, and seeing Yu Mingqi immediately sullen his face, "Do you still need me to teach you the etiquette in the palace? The princess passed away, so why should she be placed outside the palace?"

Seeing that Yu Mingqi was angry, Su Deliang and the two immediately knelt down on the ground, "I don't dare to wait, please ask the emperor to express it!"

"Bring the coffin of the princess to the Hall of Heavenly Harmony. Yu Haoxi, Princess of Zhen Guochaohua, will be buried with empress rites." The tone of the voice is full of the majesty of the king, and it is so undeniable that no one can refuse.

Su Deliang and the two looked at each other, their eyes were full of shock, hesitated for a few seconds, then immediately bowed their heads and said, "I am waiting for the order."

"Get out!"

"Yes."

Eunuch Li was as shocked as the two of them, but Eunuch Li kept his head down all the time, so no one saw the surprise in his eyes.

Tianhe Hall is the place where the emperor's coffin is specially parked after the death of the emperor and empress. Since ancient times, only the true man and his empress have the right to park their coffins there after death, waiting for burial.And Princess Chaohua, who is only the prime minister's daughter, can enjoy the same treatment as the emperor at a glance, which is really unimaginable.

"Your Majesty, it is unreasonable to place the princess's coffin in the Tianhe Hall!" Eunuch Li boldly asked in a low voice. He was very worried. It is not a trivial matter to cause a court disturbance, it is really a wave of unrest and another wave is about to rise again.

"Huh?" Yu Mingqi looked at him coldly in the blink of an eye, the coolness in those eyes made him shiver.

"Yes, the slave is getting better." Eunuch Li bowed his head respectfully as he spoke.

"Go and tell the prime minister that the princess's coffin is parked in Tianhe Hall. If he wants to see Princess Chaohua for the last time, he can go directly to Tianhe Hall."

"Yes, I obey the order." Eunuch Li retreated out without a sound.

Ya'er, I hope you can forgive my father. In the past ten years, my father has not fulfilled my responsibility as a father for a day, and when my father wants to make up for you, I have no chance.

"Prime Minister!" Eunuch Li had just walked out of the Qianhe Hall and was about to walk towards the backyard when he saw the prime minister, Shangguan, walking over listlessly, as if he had lost his soul, and he didn't even call him hear.

Eunuch Li understood his mood at the moment. After all, his daughter had passed away. Sadness was inevitable, but he was too sad.

"Prime Minister." Eunuch Li couldn't help shouting in a raised voice.

Shangguan He heard the words, raised his head, finally found the focus of his eyes, and said indifferently: "Eunuch Li."

"Prime Minister, please mourn. You can't kill your father, so the prime minister should be more careful." Eunuch Li persuaded.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your guidance. Guanyu understands." Shangguan He said with a smile.

Guanyu is Shangguanhe's small characters, which his father took for him when he was performing the weak crown ceremony. Before, Tang Lanhui always called him by his small characters, but now this small characters comes from his mouth, He couldn't help but think of Tang Lanhui again, and he couldn't help feeling more and more sentimental.

"By the way, Eunuch Li, don't call him Prime Minister Guanyu anymore. Guanyu is no longer prime minister." Shangguanhe continued.

"Prime Minister is polite. In the eyes of the miscellaneous family, one day is a prime minister and a lifetime is a prime minister. You don't have to be too modest." Eunuch Li looked at him with a smile. Shangguan and his family have been officials for three generations, and they have made great contributions to Longyu Kingdom. Talented people come forth in large numbers, and they treat the court with dedication and dedication, which makes Eunuch Li admire.

"Prime Minister, Princess Chaohua's coffin is parked in Tianhe Hall. The emperor asked the servants to come and inform you. If you want to send the princess off for the last time, the servants will take you there."

Shangguanhe looked at him in surprise, apparently he did not expect Yu Mingqi to do this.

Eunuch Li naturally saw the astonishment in Shangguanhe's eyes, but in his opinion, it was a sign that Shangguanhe was flattered.

Did the emperor do this to compensate Princess Chaohua?Or is it to prove once again that Chaohua is his own daughter?But, what's the difference?
"Prime Minister?" Seeing him distracted, Eunuch Li asked in a low voice.

"En." Shangguanhe came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Eunuch Lao is leading the way."

"Okay, Prime Minister, please." As he said, Shangguanhe walked towards Tianhe Hall step by step under the guidance of Eunuch Li.

In fact, Eunuch Li walked out of the Qianhe Hall, and Yu Mingqi got up and walked towards the Tianhe Hall.

Tianhe Hall is located in the southwest of the imperial palace, and it is also the closest palace to the gate of the palace. Therefore, it takes no more than a quarter of an hour to go from the gate of the palace to the Tianhe Hall in terms of time. , but it doesn't even take the time for a stick of incense.However, when Yu Mingqi arrived at Tianhe Hall, Commander Su and others hadn't arrived yet.
