Chapter 72 Preparing for the Exhumation

——Inside the Palace of Qinzheng

The court lady knelt down and told Gu Jingcheng everything she had heard and heard.

"She really said that?" Gu Jingcheng frowned, and the stubborn woman with red eyes appeared in his mind.

"Yes, the servant girl hid outside the door and heard with her own ears that Miss Qiu wanted Concubine Shu to express her condolences, saying that King Luo died in battle for the people of the Li Dynasty, and that he deservedly died, so we should be proud of it." The maid buried her head and said.

"Understood, you go down." Gu Jingcheng waved his hand, signaling her to go back and continue to take care of Concubine Shu. In fact, it was for surveillance, not to mention that Prime Minister Liu didn't believe that Gu Jingyao would die so easily, he didn't believe it either.

"Yes, this servant will leave!" The maid saluted and left.

Gu Jingcheng walked to the bed with his hands behind his back, caressing the cold wooden window frame, with a deep look in his eyes, perhaps the coffin had to be opened.
Early the next morning, he was supposed to wake up to escort Luo Wang's coffin back to Luo Wang's mansion, but was detained by the emperor's decree.

Qiu Yeli knelt all night, heard that with the help of the maid, she limped towards the Palace of Qinzheng, begging to see the emperor.

"Miss Qiu, it's not that I'm making things difficult for you. It's because the emperor is discussing political affairs with Mr. Ding at the moment. You can't go in!"

Jin Bao looked at the black and blue Qiu Ye Li with a embarrassed face, and he knew that he hadn't rested well.

"Then I'll wait here! I would like to know why His Majesty detained Luo Wang's body for no reason and didn't want him to be buried in the ground! Could it be that you are bullying me that Luo Wang's mansion is full of women and children?"

Qiu Yeli looked resolute, as if she would not leave until she saw Gu Jingcheng!
"Miss Qiu, you can't talk nonsense." Jin Bao's eyes widened, his heart was horrified, and he almost jumped up and covered Qiu Yeli's mouth. If these words reached Gu Jingcheng's ears, she would definitely be punished!King Luo is a loyal and brave person, and Princess Luo is also kind and righteous, and he doesn't want her to end up in a tragic end.

Qiu Yeli stood stubbornly aside, indifferent, she discussed with Gu Jingyao what the emperor would do after he learned that he died in battle, and if he was discovered later, he would be able to buy more time and bargaining chips to fight against him.

While speaking, the door of Qinzheng Hall opened from the inside, and the court lady quickly stepped forward and whispered in Jin Bao's ear, "Eunuch, the emperor ordered Miss Qiu to go in."

"Understood." Jin Bao nodded slightly, sighed softly, looked at Qiu Yeli and said, "Miss Qiu, the emperor announces you, please come inside!"

Qiu Yeli turned around, raised her chin slightly, and walked in after Jin Bao calmly.

"See Your Majesty!"

Qiu Yeli bowed on her knees, her voice was not loud but deep, echoing throughout the Qinzheng Hall.

Master Ding stood aside and lowered his head slightly without saying a word, unable to see his expression clearly. Gu Jingcheng sat on a high seat, looking at Qiu Yeli with a serious expression, "Do you want to see me?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister's wife wants to ask His Majesty what kind of hatred he has with King Luo, so that he will not be at peace even if he dies!" Said the most cruel words in a soft voice, Jin Bao carefully looked at Gu Jingcheng, his expression was tangled, and his heart Silently sweating for Qiu Yeli.

"Why did you say that?" Gu Jingcheng suppressed his anger, frowned, stared at Qiu Yeli and said slowly.

"Ancestors rule that a person is buried after three days of mortuary. The King of Luo has already opened the mansion, and the Mansion of the Lord Luo is his home. The emperor is grateful for His Royal Highness's military achievements and specially ordered him to be buried in the palace. The time limit has passed, but the emperor still leaves it in the palace, not allowed to return to its roots, this concubine is really heartbroken!"

After a lot of tears and well-founded defenses, Master Ding who spoke bluntly blushed, remembering what he discussed with the emperor just now, he became more and more ashamed to face Qiu Yeli.

"Miss Qiu, I am grateful for your infatuation with Jing Yao, but he is the noble prince of the Li Dynasty first, and the master of the Luo Palace next. As the royal family of the Li Dynasty, even if he dies, he should bear the responsibility of the royal family to the people of the world. !" Gu Jingcheng retorted unhurriedly.

"My concubine is dull, so I don't know what the emperor means?" Qiu Yeli frowned slightly, kicking Gu Jingcheng, wondering what kind of trouble he was going to make?

"Look at this." Gu Jingcheng picked up the memorial on the table and motioned for Jin Bao to pass it over.

Qiu Yeli looked at the contents of the memorial, her face turned pale, and she looked at Gu Jingcheng in disbelief, "The emperor said that the national teacher calculated that King Luo died in battle and died with hatred. He was full of resentment, and he had to open the coffin to take out the body. Please ask the lama Can the master be buried after chanting sutras for three days?"

"That's true." Gu Jingcheng nodded embarrassingly, "I don't want to disturb Jing Yao's soul, but the fate of the country is related to the safety of the people of the country, the survival of the world's living beings, and I can't take risks."

Seeing Gu Jingcheng's sanctimonious appearance, Qiu Yeli sneered, "I don't agree! I won't let anyone bother him!"

"Miss Qiu, excuse me for talking too much, I know that you and the prince are in love with each other and are very affectionate, but after all, you are not an orthodox princess on a jade plate. I'm afraid you can't control this matter." Master Ding said in a low voice.

Qiu Yeli paused slightly, seeing the man's composure and control of everything, Qiu Yeli almost gritted his silver teeth, as he said, if Gu Jingcheng insisted on doing this, she really couldn't stop her.

"Miss Qiu, the imperial concubine sent someone to look for her. The empress is not feeling well, so please go back and get a pulse." Jin Bao came in from the outside, leaned over and said.

Akiba Li clenched her fists hanging by her side. Sure enough, the ancients of the monarchy had no human rights. Even though she was a female doctor, she had just died of her father, and she was busy serving others.

Qiu Yeli gave Gu Jingcheng a hard look, and walked outside without saying a word.

The remaining two looked at her back thoughtfully, "Your Majesty, according to what I have seen, this woman is extremely vulgar and despises the emperor, so she should be punished!"

Gu Jingcheng waved his hand, "Don't worry, the three emperors of mine just died fighting for the country, and Qiu Yeli is the wife of a hero in the mouth of the people, if she is moved, won't the hearts of the people be moved?"

"Your Majesty is thoughtful, but I am stupid!" Lord Ding nodded and said with cupped hands.

"Okay, you can step back first, and urge the master lama of Jianguo Temple to open the coffin and chant scriptures tomorrow to find out." Gu Jingcheng said with a half-smile, rubbing the emerald finger of his thumb, emitting a dark green faint light. Light.

Qiu Yeli's mind was spinning quickly!If the coffin is really opened for autopsy, what should I do if it is not Gu Jingyao who recognizes the corpse?
"Your Majesty, Concubine Liu Gui has been waiting for you for a long time."

As soon as Qiu Yeli stepped into the palace gate, Concubine Liu Gui's close maid Hou took her arm and walked into the house.

"Your Majesty, Miss Qiu is here." The maid brought him to the bed and left immediately.

Qiu Yeli leaned over, and saluted Concubine Liu Gui, who had recovered a lot, and said, "The imperial concubine, Empress Jin'an."

"Don't be restrained, sit down!" Concubine Liu Gui motioned for Qiu Yeli to sit down, with a smile as gentle as jade.
