son-in-law

Chapter 108 Chapter [-]
There was a full half a cup of tea, and there was no sound in the hall.

The people here are like well-dressed wax figures.

Su Yu felt as if he was walking on a tightrope, with his life hanging by a thread.Slightly shifting his gaze, he looked at the arrangement in the hall.Although no swordsman was seen, there was still a smell of rust in the air.

Empress Dowager Chen took a deep breath and broke the silence: "Ling'er, why don't you want to pray for the emperor's longevity?"

Tang Ling'er said: "Ling'er wishes His Majesty the Emperor to live forever. But the matter of the burial will have to wait for my brother to come back."

"Oh, that's how it is." Empress Dowager Chen waved her hand: "Li Wantang, bring the documents and show them to the three princesses."

Li Wantang took out an official document from his sleeve and held it in front of Tang Linger.

Tang Ling'er unfolded it and saw that it was a document written by the three princes agreeing to the family's daughter's burial. It was signed by Prime Minister Meng Danqing, Yushi doctor Ximen Zhensen, and Da Sima Tang Zhen, as well as their respective seals.

Tang Zhen's seal has two intentionally left defects, which completely match the seal on the paper.

Tang Ling'er frowned slightly, wondering why her brother didn't tell her in advance, could it be that this document was chased to Chang'an for Tang Zhen to sign?
Tang Linger put down the document: "Since my brother has agreed, Linger has nothing to say."

In the afternoon, Su Yu saw a cruel scene in Daxiangguo Temple.

Empress Dowager Chen ordered the Jinwu Guards to escort 35 concubines who had shaved their hair and become nuns, poured mercury, sealed the coffin and carried it away, and buried it in the tomb dug in advance for the Emperor Tianci.Let these concubines be buried in advance for the god-given emperor.

The Empress Dowager ordered: death is honored.

Some of the concubines regarded death as home, drank the poison and fell to the ground waiting to die.And the first person to drink the poison was none other than Tang's concubine.

But not all concubines are able to see death as home.Some were already limp on the ground, some were weeping loudly, and some resisted fiercely.But their resistance was meaningless, and they were forcibly poured mercury by the Jinwu Guards.Struggling for a while, dying of pain.

After this incident, looking at the white-haired empress dowager again, she seemed to be exuding black air all over her body, with a hint of ruthlessness showing in the corners of her eyes and brows.

Su Yu turned his head slightly, and found that these royal princesses seemed to have been psychologically prepared, and their faces were cold and dignified.On the other hand, those son-in-laws seemed quite shocked.Some trembled all over, some were downcast, and some wiped their tears secretly.

Su Yu turned his head to look at Meng Qiao, the princess of Shou'an County. The sixth lady of the Meng family blushed and was quite angry.

He also looked at Ximengui, the lord of Chengfeng County, the fourth lady of the Ximen family lowered her eyebrows, as if she was meditating.

Looking at Tang Ling'er again, she raised her head slightly and looked at the mountain mausoleum in the distance, turning a blind eye to the things in front of her.Even on this occasion, she still looks so arrogant.Only then did Su Yu really feel that her usual demeanor was not aimed at someone.

The tyranny of the Tang Clan's family is often reflected in this princess. Even in front of the Queen Mother, she only gave a half-respect.

It seems that I have blamed her a little bit.

-

After working for a long time, Princess Anle's carriage returned to the gate of Qinghuafang when the sun was setting.

Four big red horses, their hooves beating on the stone pavement.

Tang Linger sat in the front seat, and Wang Xun was next to her.Su Yu sat on the side.

Old Diao Si Hu Rong sat in the lower seat, and two young eunuchs were driving the carriage outside.

Su Yu saw that Tang Ling'er was not in a good mood, and he covered his forehead from time to time, so he asked, "Ling'er doesn't look well, what's wrong?"

Tang Ling'er glanced at Su Yu, and said after a while, "It's nothing serious."

From the moment the concubine surnamed Tang drank the poison, Su Yu noticed that Tang Ling'er's expression was not quite right.

It is understandable after thinking about it, the Tang concubine who committed suicide by taking poison was Tang Nan, Miss Fourteen of the Tang family.There is only a three-year difference between Tang Linger and Tang Linger.Watching my cousin take poison, how can it make people feel at ease.

The queen mother's move is really cruel.

Among those concubines, there is one girl from each of the three great families, and most of the other concubines are relatives of the generals in the Xuanjia Army.

Su Yu couldn't help but wonder, was she going too far by doing this?
Later, I heard Hu Rong from Lao Diao Temple say that the Empress Dowager had just replaced a group of generals of the Xuanjia Army.And among the concubines who were executed, there were no relatives of the five generals of the Xuanjia Army or the fifteen generals of Zhonglang.

That night, the royal family sent a gift and posthumously named the concubine of the Tang family who "voluntarily" buried as "Noble Concubine Ningde".Not only the Tang family, but other concubines also sent gifts, but only the three concubines of Tang, Meng and Ximen were posthumously granted.The imperial edict emphasizes that this is not execution for a crime, but a sacrifice for the emperor's blessing, so no family is allowed to handle funerals.According to the "Daliang Ritual Law", this is the highest expression of female virtue, it is a happy event, and a memorial archway should be erected.Among the gifts, there are banners of red satin and gold powder inscriptions from the Ministry of Rites.Ask everyone to hang high.

But those gifts were directly set on fire by Tangning.

The old patriarch Tang Ning said, burn it to that "Ningde noble concubine" and let the noble concubine hang it herself.

In the evening, I heard that Princess Anle had a splitting headache and started to have a fever.The imperial doctor came to see the disease and only said that he was suffering from wind.He prescribed sweating medicine and left.

But in the middle of the night, the lights on the second floor were still on, and Wang Xun was often seen busy.

Su Yu came downstairs and called Wang Xun in a low voice: "Sister Wang Xun, is the Linger fever still gone?"

Wang Xun looked downstairs: "You didn't retreat, what's the matter, my uncle has a good idea?"

Su Yu twirled his fingers: "I know some massage techniques to promote sweating."

"Where is the massage?"

"Back."

Wang Xun thought for a while and said, "Young master, wait a moment, just ask."

As soon as Wang Xun turned his head away, he heard Tang Linger say "no". Wang Xun turned his head helplessly and shook his head at Su Yu, with a regretful smile on his face.

Su Yu shrugged indifferently, and strolled back to the house.

"Jinfeng, guess how much you bought today?"

Ouyang Jing drank in Beishi and didn't come back until now.It is said that Fang Cheng of Beishi personally sent him back to Qinghuafang.Otherwise, he would not be able to pass the night ban and interrogation.Originally, everyone left him to live in Tingfeng Pavilion, but he wanted to go back to the small warehouse in the princess mansion to rest.Of course, outsiders don't know that he lives in the warehouse.All I know is that he lives in the princess mansion.

Seeing that he was drunk, Su Yu ignored him, pointed at Xiao Cang, and motioned him to go back to sleep quickly.

Ouyang Jing refused to leave, but urged: "If you guess correctly, I will give you [-] yuan."

Su Yudao: "Missing a copper coin, how do you let me guess?"

Ouyang Jing pulled a chair over and sat in: "Now there are more than 7000 million in the pool. Boss Kong said that if he can break through [-] million tomorrow morning, he is willing to add another [-] million. Hey, this But in recent years, the biggest gambling game in Luoyang City. Now the reputation of Ouyang Jing has spread. I heard that friends in the world are still trying to give us a nickname. Oh, Jinfeng, what do you think I am called? Okay? God of Gamblers, Fairy of Gamblers, Master of Gamblers, and Kuai Gamblers, these good names have been taken by them. What should I be called?"

"I think you can be called a gambler."
