Chapter 382 Death Knell

After Yang Mu heard Yin Zhu finish, he suddenly remembered what Diao Shan had mentioned last night.

This is such a coincidence!
Dr. Lu never married, but his mother said she wanted to see her granddaughter.

Mrs. Cao said to herself that she would not allow father and daughter to see each other, and grandparents and grandchildren to see each other...

And Dr. Lu is the attending physician at Cao's Medical Center...

Yang Mu looked at Yin Zhu slyly and said, "Go and check Dr. Lu at the Cao Family Medical Center. I suspect that this is Cao's biological father!"

Yinzhu took a breath and looked at Yang Mu for verification. When Yang Mu nodded, Yinzhu's eyes lit up and he turned around and left.

Yang Mu rubbed his hands, hehe, if this thing is proven, Mr. Cao and Mrs. Cao may not be able to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives.

Yang Mu smiled like a little fox in the duty room, while Cao was as angry as a puffer fish in Yong'an Courtyard.

"What did you say? Yinshuang is not in Chengqiyuan?"

Mr. Cao was a little in disbelief.

The maid who replied said: "I spent a tael of silver to find out from Chengqi Courtyard that Yinshuang was taken away by the imperial concubine on the day she left. The guard guard said that we rode out together. did not return."

Ms. Cao frowned and sat on the chair, puzzled. She wondered where Yang Mu had taken Yin Shuang.

You can't sell people out, right?
If they were selling people, they should have asked Yapo to buy them. Why take them out in person?
While Mrs. Cao was struggling, a fat maid came in and saluted: "Princess, I didn't find the silver bell in Fuhaiyuan."

She entered Fuhaiyuan in the name of delivering cakes. She searched around but couldn't find Yin Ling.

Logically speaking, when Yin Ling heard that people from Yong'an Yuan were going to Fu Hai Yuan to deliver things, they should wait in a conspicuous place.

But not only was there no one anywhere, she even found some words and walked around Fuhaiyuan, but couldn't find Yin Ling.

Ms. Cao's chest was filled with panic, and she reprimanded: "Don't you know how to spend money to find out?"

The fat maid looked innocent and said, "I have no money."

Mrs. Cao was about to curse when she suddenly remembered that this maid was promoted after Yin Ling left, and there was indeed no money to back her up.

She was so angry that someone gave the fat maid two taels of silver and asked her to inquire, while she waited angrily.

The fat maid was not slow on her feet and bought the news back quickly.

"The woman who guards the gate of Fuhaiyuan said that a nanny came last night and quietly took the silver bell away!"

Mrs. Cao suddenly looked at the fat maid and asked, "Took her away? Where did she take her?"

The fat maid blinked her little eyes, shook her head and said, "I don't know, the gatekeeper didn't say anything."

Mrs. Cao was so angry that she didn't know how to scold talented people, so she sent another lanky woman to inquire.

The mother-in-law came back soon and replied: "The Yapo who bought the silver bell is from another county. The old princess specifically told them to leave the city this morning. Counting the time, I'm afraid they are already halfway there."

Mr. Cao gritted his teeth, damn old woman, how dare you spoil my big event!
It’s just that there are no Yin Ling and Yin Shuang, even Zhou Rui’s wife is in Chengqiyuan.

Zhou Rui was originally a domestic slave in Prince Ding's palace, and was not directly related to her dowry. It was easy to take care of her family members.

Now that Zhou Rui's family is no longer under his control, Zhou Rui is afraid that he won't really do anything for him.

Ms. Cao closed her eyes and took a few slow breaths, then opened her eyes again and said with firm eyes: "Tell Sanlang that Zhou Rui is not doing things well, remove him from his position as head of the village, replace him with Huang Han, the deputy head of the village, and let Huang Han come to see him." I!"

His son Lin Shan was in charge of most of the villas in Prince Ding's Mansion, so this order had to be issued through his son.

Seeing that the mother-in-law was about to leave, Mrs. Cao said, "Wait a minute, let Zhou Rui do something for me again."

The woman put her ear up, listened to Mrs. Cao's instructions, lowered her head and hurried away.

Mrs. Cao sighed, Huang Han was her dowry, and although he took the position of deputy head of the village, his ability to do things was really not good.

If she couldn't control Zhou Rui anymore, she wouldn't be willing to give up on Zhou Rui, a real person in charge.

When Cao chooses people, it is naturally best to hire those who are capable, but when the capable ones are unsure, she would rather hire the incompetent ones.This may be because she comes from a small family, and her vision and style are too petty, but she is still petty.

When Mrs. Cao finished meeting Huang Han and asked him to inquire about the whereabouts of Nanny Chen and others and let them out of the house, the bell tower rang.

Prince Ding's Mansion is located in the inner city, not far from the bell tower, so the sound of the bell reaches his ears very clearly.

Ms. Cao didn't feel it at first, thinking it was just telling the time.

When he heard the bell ringing, he suddenly realized something. He immediately stood up, walked out of the door, and looked in the direction of the clock tower.

The personal maid who had just been brought up stood beside Ms. Cao and said, "Princess, it's already twelve months."

Mrs. Cao stared blankly in the direction of the palace. If the bell kept ringing, it meant that the emperor had passed away.

When the emperor died, the whole country mourned and thirty thousand bells sounded.

palace.

Yang Mu took Yi Zhi and stood up.

The father-in-law who delivered the order had no time to exchange greetings, so he hurried out and rode away.

Bai Yao took a step forward, looked in the direction of the bell tower, and asked, "Deputy commander, is this the death knell?"

Yang Mu opened the imperial edict, looked at the colorful flying phoenixes above, and said: "The imperial edict suddenly asked us to strengthen our vigilance and not allow free entry and exit of the palace. The bell keeps ringing, so it should be a national mourning."

The little emperor still couldn't resist and passed away.

Yang Mu put Yi's decree away and said: "Send the order, starting immediately, all doors of the palace will be closed, except for the south gate. No one in the palace is allowed to enter or leave at will!"

Bai Yao took the order and went.

Yang Mu looked towards the direction of the palace. Are the two empress dowagers afraid that King Huan will rebel, or are they afraid that someone will use Concubine Shu and her mother to cause trouble?
Emperor Longxing died at the age of five. The whole city was in a state of silence, and the ministers knelt in mourning and retired from the court.

The civil servants were resting, but the generals were busy.

The Yang family and the Lin family guarded the surrounding areas of the capital, the Nine City Soldiers and Horses Division guarded the capital, and the Royal Forest Army guarded the imperial city.

At the funeral of Emperor Longxing, the Queen Mothers of the two palaces announced the candidate for the new emperor - the six-year-old Li Yi, the second son of the Regent, as the new emperor.

However, the clan and some court officials came out to oppose it, believing that Li Xi, the youngest grandson of King Huan, should be made emperor.

Some veterans believed that Li You, the posthumous son of Emperor Xibao, should be enthroned.

There was a huge quarrel at the funeral.

The empress dowagers of the two palaces had no choice but to attend to the national funeral while discussing candidates for the new monarch.

It's just that a country cannot be without a king for a day. The new king must be selected before the funeral, and the king must be enthroned.

The funeral of Emperor Longxing was held a month later.

When Mrs. Bao came back from outside the city, it was when the whole city was hanging white cloth.

The old lady sighed and stopped the carriage at the entrance of the palace.

Yang Mu came out and met Mrs. Bao in the carriage.

Looking at the unfortunate old lady with a big bag on her head, Yang Mu couldn't say anything.

Mrs. Bao glanced at Yang Mu with resentful eyes, then sighed: "It's another national mourning."

First there was Emperor Jiaji, then Emperor Xibao, then Emperor Xiaorui, and now Emperor Longxing.

No matter how prosperous the country is, it cannot withstand such a large-scale ceremony of national mourning and the enthronement of a new king.
