Gong fight?Niang Niang, she dominated the cold palace by farming

As soon as he reached the downstairs of the branch palace, a little eunuch chased after him, holding his hands high, "My lord, please stay, the empress dowager is dead, and the empress dowager asked the slaves to deliver the mourning clothes."

The tray in his hand was piled with mourning clothes.

Song Qingzhai pursed his lips, and put on the mourning clothes under the service of the eunuch.

The Queen Mother Niu did not do good deeds during her lifetime, but she did one after her death.

When he came to the Meridian Gate, there was already a dense crowd of civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty. Some officials were still wounded, and many people still had black ashes on their faces that hadn't been washed.

Seeing the mourning clothes on his body, everyone's eyes shrank.

Song Qingzhai lowered his eyes and said softly, "The Empress Dowager is dead."

All the ministers knew that the Queen Mother Niu had been ill for a long time, and they were not surprised at the moment. After the accident last night, if the Queen Mother Niu had no accident, they would still guess whether the old woman was pretending to be sick.

Soon, Empress Liu ordered someone to bring over the white filial belt, and all the officials had to keep their filial piety for the Empress Dowager.

Not long after, Cui Ping, the chief eunuch next to Zhou Qi, came to pass the decree: "The Empress Dowager passed away, Your Majesty was overly sad, fainted several times, and the court will be dismissed today.

"According to the ancestral system, Your Majesty has to observe filial piety for 27 days. Within 27 days, major government affairs are entrusted to the three princes and nine ministers to discuss together, and then send them to the second prince for approval."

All the officials knelt down to receive the order, and because Song Qingzhai said he wanted to go back to the palace to have a look, all the officials also left.

The officials who had been attached to Zhou Qi felt anxious. Before they got home, a group of forbidden soldiers broke into the house, quickly searched for prohibited items, and threw them all into the imperial prison.

Song Qingzhai returned to the palace—to be precise, it was the ruins of the palace, and the Palace of the Princess Wancheng next to it was intact.

Someone had already sent a letter to Xu, and Xu Ji greeted him.

At this moment, the sun was just rising, and the sky and the earth had just been shrouded in light. Even though Song Qingzhai hadn't slept all night, he was still in high spirits.

People say, "If you want to be pretty and filial", the plain Song Qingzhai looks a little less serious and a little more cold, which makes him even more attractive.

Xu Ji came up with such an idea out of time, and immediately welcomed him into the mansion, "Aren't you tired all night, I asked the kitchen to prepare the meals, after you use them, sleep for an hour, and then you have to go to the palace to watch the spirit, right?"

Song Qingzhai reached out and took her hand, "You've worked hard too."

"What is this?" Xu Jiman didn't care. In fact, there were very few people who dared to beat Qifeng directly last night. She only needs to show her supernatural power a little bit, and let the inspector show off the powerful hand crossbow. Who is not afraid of death?

With the blessing of the princess mansion, there is no loss on this street.

She also took people around the noble mansions to help with the finishing touches. She watched those honorable children cheer up and turn the situation around before returning.

But there is no need to elaborate on these.

Song Qingzhai simply ate something, fell asleep, and said to Xu Ji before going to sleep, "I'm afraid one hour is not enough, let me sleep for two hours."

In fact, two hours is not enough!Converted to the timekeeping method of Xu Ji's era, it would be four hours. A grown man needs at least seven hours of sleep, right?It can't be satisfied and can't be less than six and a half hours.

However, the current situation still requires him to sit in charge, so...

Xu Ji sighed and could only endure it.

Fortunately, Song Qingzhai will definitely not guard the spirit of the Queen Mother Niu sincerely, and will always find a chance to catch up on sleep... right?

Two hours later, all the clans, qualified courtiers, and foreign wives rushed to the palace. Xu Ji woke up Song Qingzhai and stuffed some snacks into his sleeves, "I won't say more, don't feel wronged .”
