Step by step lotus flower

Chapter 672
It was as if he had overturned the five-flavored bottle in his heart, all kinds of sour, bitter, spicy, spicy tastes rushed into his heart, except that there was no sweetness, but deep down in his heart he felt a sense of relief that he could not deny... This is also very good, at least Ling Lao The wife died more decently, and he didn't have to be tortured before death, and he didn't have to be in a dilemma.

Speaking of which, before he came out just now, didn't he already have a vague guess in his heart that Mrs. Ling would take this path in all likelihood? Why is he feeling so uncomfortable at this moment?
After being silent for quite a while, Ling Mengqi interrupted Sister Chunhua's crying with difficulty: "How did the old lady get there? Do you have anything to say before you die?"

When Chunhua asked, she sobbed, and then said in a choked voice: "Old lady...she died by swallowing gold. Before she died, she told me to tell the uncle that if possible, I hope that the uncle can transport her body back to Linzhou. , buried with the old man, and when the old man dies tomorrow, if possible, I also hope that the old man can transport the old man's body back to Linzhou, at least let him not expose his corpse to the wilderness and become a lonely ghost... If two things If you don’t want to do anything, or if you really can’t do it, then don’t embarrass me, since death is like a lamp going out, naturally the living is more important.”

When Ling Mengqi heard the words, he didn't say yes or no, but asked in a deep voice: "Is there any more?"

Sister Chunhua pursed her lips, and continued: "The old lady also said that in this life, it is the Ling family, she and the master who are sorry for you, and if you are still willing to be her grandson in the next life, she will definitely make it up to you, and never let you Just like in this life, having relatives is better than not having them, and you don't have to feel bad about her death, because you feel that you forced her to death, and she knows that you can't help yourself, just like the Ling family because of Lu... Because Lingtang doesn't like to see you, I'm afraid that person doesn't like to see you, it's not easy for you to come to this day, this is the only thing she can do for you now, she is willing, after she went there , and will also bless you and your wife to be safe and beautiful for a lifetime."

After a pause, "Furthermore, next time you see Lingtang, tell Lingtang that there is nothing she can do when she is alive, and she has to wait for her in front of Yama in the ten halls, and wait to see what happens to her. Waiting for her to also go to the back of Yan Luo Hall, and see with her own eyes how she was ordered by Lord Yan to go up the mountain of swords and down the pan of oil, so that she will never be reborn forever!"

He didn't want to and couldn't control Old Madam Ling's curse on that woman at the end of her life, and no matter whether she ended up like this to prevent herself from being humiliated at the end of her life, or it was really for him, he was grateful for her affection.

Ling Mengqi said to Nanny Chunhua in a deep voice: "Although the old lady has gone now, I have to take her body back to the capital first. As for what will happen after I bring it back to the capital, I can't say right now. I can only say that I will do my best to fulfill her last wish, let her return to her roots and be buried with Mrs. Ling."

When Aunt Chunhua saw him, she only said that she would try her best to bring old lady Ling back to her roots, but she didn't say whether she would clean up for Ling Siqi at that time, and whether she would bring old lady Ling's words to Concubine Luo. Remind Ling Mengqi, at least get a clear answer from him.

But thinking about Ling Siqi's actions, and thinking about Concubine Luo's current status, I still didn't say the reminder, I just said in a choked voice: "I just put makeup on for the old lady, the uncle wants to go in to see the old lady For the last time, send her old man for the last time?"

Ling Mengqi was silent for a moment, and then said: "Of course I want to go in, please ask the mother to lead the way."

Sister Chunhua wiped her tears and led Ling Mengqi into the house.

It turned out that Mrs. Ling had already tidied up and was lying motionless on the bed. Her gray hair was combed neatly, and a large crow-blue handkerchief was tied on her head with two golden hairpins. A white silk jacket, with a white silk skirt underneath, and a long-sleeved jacket with bright red makeup on the outside. The color is also washed slightly pale, and the face is even paler, and there are some swellings. Painful expression.

Ling Mengqi had stayed in Jinyiwei for a long time, so he could tell at a glance that Mrs. Ling had indeed swallowed gold and died. It was not difficult to imagine how painful she was before she died, but he was in the courtyard next to the wall, but I didn't hear any sound from her, and I didn't hear any sound from Sister Chunhua. It was obviously ordered by her in advance... For some reason, Ling Mengqi's nasal cavity suddenly burst into a burst of pungentness, which almost made him gasp Hold back the tears.

He hurriedly raised his head to look at Cheng Chen on the beam of the house, until the acrid feeling subsided, he took a few steps forward, knelt down in front of the old lady Ling's body, kowtowed three times slowly, then went out and called his subordinates Bought a coffin as fast as possible, put Mrs. Ling in it, and headed back to Beijing.

Ling Mengqi was just feeling uncomfortable and aggrieved, but Commander Cao was going crazy at that time.

He led Jin Yiwei's people to search the First Prince's Mansion and An Guo Gong's Mansion to no avail, although he knew that if he went to report to the emperor at that time, he would definitely provoke Long Yan's anger, but he didn't dare not return to the palace, so he had to pinch Put Khan into the palace overnight.

Fortunately, although the emperor was really furious, he did not do anything to him except to warn him. He only ordered him to double the martial law in the First Prince's Mansion, An Guogong Mansion, and even all the streets and alleys in the capital immediately after he went down, even for a while. If you can't find Ling Siqi, the one who deserves to be hacked into pieces, at least you can't let him appear again, and stage a follow-up to yesterday's incident.

Commander Cao was lucky enough to save his life, and knew that he had no other way out but to commit crimes and meritorious service, so he sent additional manpower as soon as he left the palace, not to mention one post every five steps, one sentry post every ten steps, but it was still like an iron bucket that put the entire capital under martial law. Ordinarily, even a suspicious fly would never escape his grasp!

Unexpectedly, as soon as the genius came to light, Ling Siqi still appeared in front of the Xihua Gate out of thin air, just like yesterday, took the portrait of Concubine Luo and knelt in front of the palace gate and cried loudly: "...I am looking for a wife from thousands of miles away, in order to find her She would not hesitate to lose her title and family property, but who knew that she had already embraced another person and became the emperor's favorite concubine... Although we have only been married for more than two years, we are deeply in love with each other , I have never blushed once, I don't believe that she would do such a thing, let alone believe that the emperor, a wise emperor through the ages, can do something like seizing a man's wife..."

"It's all right, my lords. Men and women are different inside and outside. I may never have seen the true face of a noble concubine or empress. However, all the wives will come to the palace to congratulate them at all seasons. I beg all the wives to be kind and tell me , the woman in the portrait in my hand is not the current imperial concubine, so I can continue to look for her, even if I search all over the world, I must find her... Otherwise, the truth is so cruel, at least I won't even die. If you can be a fool... I beg all the ladies to show kindness and tell me..."

It was the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the most important festival of the year besides Zhengdan and Wanshou, and it was the day when civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and all imperial wives had to enter the palace to worship.
