His strength was just right, and most of his fatigue disappeared immediately.

Gu Heng remained silent. Zhe Sang thought he had heard those nonsense words before he came in, and wondered if he would mind how she arranged him. He was thinking about explaining, but Gu Heng spoke first, "What the court means is Repair the canal and don’t have time to worry about anything else.”

"Then the floods and refugees in Nanchuan are ignored?"

Gu Heng acquiesced.

Zhe Sang's mind was spinning. The emperor's move was exactly what she wanted. Failing the emperor harmed the people, and the world was dark and dark. This was the precursor of the new master's arrival.

Gu Heng stood behind her, his eyes falling on her ear beads with emerald pendants. The green and white complemented each other, and the thin black hair scattered around the ears, breaking the nobility and adding a bit of charm.

Gu Heng thought of another incident reported in the letter. There were only two lines, but he was deeply impressed. It was the first time after the palace change that his subordinates reported to him about the queen.

After the collapse of Yong'an Palace, the emperor has not expressed his position on the queen's funeral.

According to the emperor's temperament, if he learned that the queen had cuckolded him, he would take revenge even if she died. For example, after Mrs. An gave birth to the eldest prince, she was unable to enter the imperial mausoleum. After the change in Xibohou Palace, the Feng family was Kill them all.

The emperor is not a kind person.

Although the leakage of the queen's personal affairs with others would damage the royal family's face, why bother to accuse her? As long as the emperor has resentment in his heart, he can find any excuse to demote the queen as a sinner and throw her into a mass grave wrapped in a straw mat.

If there is no profit, no one in the court will jump out and say that the emperor is unkind.

The emperor and empress did not have a deep love for each other, and coupled with some specious rumors, Taichang Qing, who was in charge of the funeral, was not sure of the rules for burying the empress.

It was said that it was a burial, but only a few old clothes and a handful of ashes. Yong'an Palace was burned to the ground, and even the whole body could not be recovered. Those old clothes were collected by the Clothing Bureau.

Let's have a grand burial according to the Queen's regulations, just for fear of offending the Emperor. Taichang Qing speculated for a long time. He thought that the emperor didn't care much about the queen's funeral, otherwise he would have delayed it for so long without even asking the emperor. Since the emperor didn't care, the people below were naturally relieved and happy.

But the difficulty is that the emperor did not explicitly say that the queen had any fault and could be buried as she pleased.

Taichang Qing's hair is half white and he has been in officialdom for a long time. He is the most cautious.

What the emperor has not clearly stated his position on - cannot be done. Even if you come according to the emperor's wishes, you still can't do it.

I'm afraid that one day the emperor suddenly reminisces about some old feelings and blames you. A single sentence of disrespect for the royal family by making unreasonable opinions can drive Taichang Qing away from the capital to some place where birds can't shit.

This is a huge loss for Dafa.

Just like this, it has been more than twenty days since the Queen's death, and she has not been buried yet.

Taichang Qing had the courage to ask the emperor several times, but every time the emperor either remained silent or changed the subject, and never gave a direct answer about the burial regulations.

Whenever the queen was mentioned, the emperor's face darkened. Later, things became more and more wrong, and the emperor actually ordered not to mention the queen again.

Judging from the posture, there is no plan to bury the ashes and no tombstone will be erected.

The emperor's weird attitude made Gu Heng suspicious.

If she hated her, the emperor would definitely strip her of her identity as a queen and ruin her reputation after her death; if she didn't hate her, he would bury her according to the rules.

What exactly does this avoidant attitude mean?

Gu Heng listened to everything Zhe Sang said before entering the door.

He naturally knew that she was teasing Chen Ruolan on purpose, but the speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional.

Returning to the source, it was indeed him who took advantage of others.

This feeling was snatched away by someone who coveted it.

If Fu Rong had not let down Zhe Sang, would he have gotten what he wanted today?

Gu Heng did not dare to follow this line of thought further. (End of chapter)
