Chapter 281

Concubine Yi's colored coffin was left in the palace for a day before being transported to Jing'an Village.Because in summer, the corpse was soaked in water again, and a pungent stench could be smelled from afar.

None of the concubines in the harem went to see them off, only Bai Changzai braved the scorching sun and sent the colorful coffin out of the Forbidden City.

Generally, when a concubine dies, she will almost always be promoted to a higher level to show the favor of the burial.

However, Concubine Yi's death was embarrassing and violated a taboo in the palace. Neither the Empress Dowager nor Yingyun mentioned the posthumous title.

On the contrary, Bai Changyu went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation one day after Concubine Yi's funeral, intending to ask for a concubine for her direct sister.

But the emperor summoned the ministers of military affairs to discuss state affairs for a whole day, and Bai Changzai had to wait outside the palace all day.The scorching sun is on the horizon, people are almost suffering from heatstroke, and they still can't leave.

Li Yu persuaded, "Master Bai, you should go back, the emperor has been in a bad mood these days, how can he have the time to take care of these things?"

Bai Changzai quietly stuffed money into him, and begged: "I know this is going to embarrass Mr. Li, but once Mrs. Yi Concubine leaves, I have no one to turn to in the palace, and I can only rely on you. You know, Empress Yipin spent her whole life in the palace. Her only wish was to be a concubine, to shine in the family. Now, she has been wronged. I am her own sister. I can do nothing for her. I can only do my best to achieve Her wish in life."

Li Yu shied away, and really didn't want to accept her money, which was as hot as a soldering iron in his arms.

Bai Changzai pressed his hand firmly, begging hard: "My lord, you are my only hope."

Li Yu sighed, thinking that when she was in the glory of Yipin, how could she think that she would be reduced to today and need to beg him in a humble manner?
"Okay, I will give you a try, my master." Li Yu pitied her for being helpless, and said, "However, this servant can only help you to inform me, as for the emperor's decision, this servant cannot guarantee. "

Bai Changzai said gratefully: "I know, thank you, Mr. Manager, for your willingness to make this trip is the greatest favor to our sisters."

Li Yu comforted her a few words, then quietly entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Feiyan accompanied Bai Changzai and waited anxiously outside, a quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, time passed bit by bit...

Half an hour later, when Li Yu came out of the hall, Bai Changzai immediately went up to greet him, and asked, "How is it? What did your majesty say?"

Li Yu shook his head at them and sighed softly.

Bai Chang knew right away that there should be no room for change in this matter.

Li Yu cleared his throat, and said: "Bo Chang is listening to the decree, and the emperor said, 'Concubine and other internal affairs, if there is an elder brother or Gege, the son will send the king to wear filial piety, if there is no son, there is no need to perform the son'."

Hearing this, Bai Chang staggered back a step, but thanks to Feiyan's support, he didn't fall down.

"Concubine...obey the order."

Li Yu returned the money just now to Bai Changzai, and said softly: "My lord, at this point, the emperor has no affection for the empress, or you should take the silver taels and take care of the craftsmen who are encoffined, and give it to Concubine Yi." Your Majesty, add an extra funeral."

Bai Chang was buzzing in his head and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation as if he had lost his soul.

Feiyan wiped her tears, and called her: "My lord, what should we do?"

Bai Chang laughed and said, "To live in the palace, without grace, you can only be trampled underfoot and wait for death slowly."

As the sun was setting, the two walked lonely on the palace road, their figures distorted and narrow, like dead wood growing old.
