Charming bone fragrance, concubine this snake and scorpion

When Leng Rutong arrived at the lobby, the messenger had already left, and Manager Zhao told her that Ye Fengya was waiting for her in the carriage.Leng Rutong got into the carriage and saw Ye Fengya sitting in the carriage with a calm expression on her face, her perfect facial features were calm and not at all sad.

Leng Rutong frowned, and sat down beside him, Ye Fengya took her into his arms and gently stroked her back.

Leng Rutong asked gently: "Who's gone?"

Ye Fengya looked out of the window, and replied flatly: "The Queen Mother."

Leng Rutong's originally calm face suddenly dimmed, Dai Mei frowned slightly, lowered her eyes and said softly: "How could it be? I saw her in good health the day before yesterday. See the notice and send the filial piety." He passed away as soon as the decree was issued, could it be that he went away with peace of mind because of something on his mind?

"It was said that she passed away suddenly. After lunch, she slept on the jade couch. After noon, Aunt Lin went to wake her up and found out that she had passed away." Ye Fengya said flatly, as if it wasn't his grandma or her mother who died. Anyone who is related to him.

Died in sleep?At least there is no pain, the world is really impermanent, Leng Rutong inevitably thinks of his grandfather, it is said that the relationship with the Queen Mother is not bad, the Queen Mother will leave, Grandpa will probably be sad.

Thinking of this, Leng Rutong raised the curtain and called Guanshi Zhao to order: "Guanshi Zhao, don't let grandpa know about the Queen Mother, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it."

Zhao Guanshi nodded, and Ye Fengya ordered the coachman to go to the palace.

After entering the palace gate, I felt that the originally large and quiet palace became even more dead silent, and the snow-white cloth strips all around made people feel more heavy. The carriage passed the palace gate and entered all the way to Lingci palace.

The carriages outside the palace were full of mourning carriages, Ye Fengya helped Leng Rutong down, and the two walked into the palace.

There are already several rows of people kneeling in the Empress Dowager Ling Ci's bedroom. The Empress Dowager Ling Ci is lying quietly on the big bed in a red robe. She should have been wearing plain clothes, but the Empress Dowager said before that she should walk gracefully when she leaves a hundred years later. It was lively, so she wore a bright red phoenix robe.

Many concubines in the harem knelt there and wept softly. Princess An Xin cried the most heartbreakingly. I saw You Lian crying pear blossoms with rain, but it added a sense of beauty to the heavy room.

Ye Fengya and Leng Rutong also knelt down together, because only the seventh prince among so many emperors and grandsons had ever married a wife, they were summoned to speak politely to the unconscious Empress Dowager Lingci.

Ye Fengya remained silent the whole time, and her expression was very calm.The third prince didn't cry, but there was some sadness on his usually cold handsome face, this was the first time Leng Rutong saw Ye Qianzhi with such an emotional expression, it seemed that he was not superior, but had a human touch However, Leng Rutong felt an urge to comfort him.

Seemingly realizing that Leng Rutong's eyes had fallen on him, Ye Qianzhi tilted his head slightly, his Mo-like eyes looked at Leng Rutong, those eyes overflowed with sadness like a black well, wanting to make people Swallowing it in, Leng Rutong quickly lowered her head. This kind of Ye Qianzhi really made people feel a lot closer, but she couldn't adapt to it, and her heart was even disturbed for a second.

Among the boys, the only ones who cried were the fifth and thirteenth princes. The fifth prince was a sweetheart, and the thirteenth prince had just turned ten years old. The children only knew that Grandma Huang was good to him, so he felt sad when he left suddenly.

Ye Xianghao knelt at the front and kept adding Ming coins to the brazier. The Nine-Five Supreme was just a filial son at this time. He knelt and couldn't get up, and everyone knelt with him. Some concubines are usually weak , and I am used to being pampered, how could I stand such a toss, several fell down.

Seeing that this was not the solution, the queen suggested dividing the number of shifts to stay at the funeral, and Ye Xianghao agreed.

Ye Fengya and Leng Rutong were separated at night, walked out of the bedroom, Leng Rutong let out a big breath, the atmosphere inside was too heavy, especially those low and hard voices made her feel extremely restless.

In fact, she has been very indifferent to life and death, because she is a child without relatives.I don't know why although the queen mother has nothing to do with her, she always feels a kind of sadness, maybe it is affected by the environment.

Ye Fengya patted her head: "You are tired from kneeling, go to the side hall and rest."

Leng Rutong shook her head, she couldn't understand Ye Fengya, he was too calm.He and the Empress Dowager were not close at all, and had never been around. It is normal to have no feelings, but his calmness revealed ruthlessness, and he was not moved by the surroundings at all. She didn't know whether it was good or bad, but her heart But inexplicably felt sorry for him.

He wasn't born to be so indifferent. If he behaved like this, something must have happened, so she felt distressed.

Leng Rutong hugged him tightly: "You go with me, I'm afraid alone."

"Um..."

After dinner, Ye Xianghao summoned all the princes, concubines, civil and military officials outside the main hall of Lingci Palace. Although the Queen Mother passed away suddenly, she left an imperial decree to decide who is the heir apparent.

Just at night, outside the spacious hall, there was a gentle breeze passing by. Except for the slight wind noise, the outside of the hall was quiet. Everyone knelt there obediently, waiting for the emperor's father-in-law to take down the plaque from behind the hall plaque. decree.

The night has not yet come, and there is still some light in the square, but there are still palace ladies standing in a row holding on to the palace lanterns. The imperial decree was taken down, and Eunuch De respectfully handed the imperial decree to the emperor: "My lord, the queen mother's decree has been taken down. , Your Majesty, please take a look."

Ye Xianghao's face was heavy and his eyes were confused, because he didn't know who the queen mother passed on the throne to, and he wanted to know more than anyone else.Some couldn't wait to take the order, Ye Xianghao unfolded it and quickly glanced at it, his face became more and more serious.

A pair of usually dignified and quiet eyes flashed disbelief, and the person kneeling underneath looked at me and at you, but they dared not speak.

Ye Xianghao closed the imperial decree and handed it to Eunuch De beside him: "Let's announce it." Although it was not the result he thought in his heart, he absolutely obeyed the Queen Mother's decree, but his heart was beating uneasy, and he raised his eyes to look under the night. Quiet and peaceful in the palace, Ye Xianghao sighed inwardly, not understanding why the Queen Mother would do this.

Eunuch De cleared his throat, and the loud and sharp voice crossed the sky under the night: "Ai's family has been in the palace for seventy five years. Since entering the palace, the sea and rivers have been clear, and the world is peaceful. The people are safe, and the world is peaceful. Salty clothes. Officials are clear and bright, monarchs and ministers are harmonious. Virtue is comparable to the sages of the past, and merit is more hopeful for future generations. Ten..."

De Gonggong's eloquent voice obviously stopped here for a while, but he quickly realized and continued: "The thirteenth prince is smart, has a noble character, and is worthy of a heavy responsibility, so the Ai family wants to designate him as Ye Sheng. The crown prince, with the help of the seven princes, all the princes should work together to wear the new crown prince. The important ministers should support the prime minister carefully and help the country together."

After the imperial edict was finished, there was a dead silence in the square, it was eerily quiet, and even Ye Xianghao didn't say a word.

Leng Rutong couldn't believe it, the queen mother would pass the throne to the thirteen princes?Ye Qianzhi just told her last night that the queen mother called him into the palace, told him that he was the one who passed the throne, and also said that the imperial decree had been written, why did he become the thirteenth prince?

Leng Rutong quickly raised his head to look at Ye Qianzhi, Ye Qianzhi's face was still calm, and he didn't react too much to the change of the imperial decree. into this.

Ye Xianghao said softly: "Let's all accept the order."

All the talents said in unison: "Long live the emperor, a thousand years for the queen mother, and a thousand years for the prince."

Leng Rutong felt that there must be something strange about this matter. The queen mother died inexplicably, and the imperial decree suddenly changed. Can't win the throne of the emperor?

Leng Rutong stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have some doubts. Dare I ask if your Majesty can confirm that this edict is written by the Empress Dowager herself?"

When Leng Rutong asked, Taifu Ning immediately echoed: "Your Majesty, I dare to know the reliability of this imperial decree. The content of this imperial decree does not match the Queen Mother's temperament."

Ye Xianghao also hoped that this imperial decree was false, so why would he want to see the night pilgrimage go back to the bloody turmoil it was 30 years ago? He couldn't figure out what the Queen Mother's intentions were for doing this.

"You don't need to question it, it is indeed written by the Queen Mother." Ye Xianghao dispelled all doubts with one sentence: "Retire, I am also tired." After Ye Xianghao finished speaking, he let his father-in-law help him gone.

A bunch of people were left looking at each other, but soon Taifu Ning took a bunch of people away, and the third prince also took a bunch of people away, and the people outside the hall were basically gone, but the queen brought the thirteenth prince back. Standing there, he was shocked by the sudden position of the crown prince, and hadn't calmed down yet.

A hint of worry slipped across the solemn queen's face. The ten-year agreement between her and Concubine Ning Guifei was about to be broken.

Ye Fengya flashed a hint of amusement in his eyes, this time, Yege City was about to become lively.Leng Rutong had a look of disbelief, pulled Ye Fengya and kept asking: "Why is this happening? The empress dowager clearly told the third prince that the throne had been passed on to him. This was what the empress dowager told the third prince herself. False, will someone change the imperial decree?"

Hearing this, Ye Fengya's heart trembled slightly, his Tong'er was smart, but luckily she was not on his opposing side, otherwise she would definitely be a formidable enemy.

Ye Fengya patted her on the cheek: "Don't think too much, it's the same to pass it on to anyone, the throne of the thirteenth brother is definitely not stable, when the queen mother goes to the funeral, Yege City will be very dangerous, you Don't get involved, you know?"

Leng Rutong nodded, it's not that she doesn't want to help the third prince anymore, first, if she helps the third prince now, it will be a usurpation of the throne, and second, what she needs is the best protection for the Tang family, if the thirteenth prince can treat Tang Hello, then she doesn't need to pretend to be usurping the throne, she might as well try her best to help the thirteenth prince stabilize.

Third, Ye Qianzhi may really give up the throne because he has little interest in the throne.

No matter what, this sudden and wrong imperial decree made everything confused, and she had to look at the situation before making a decision to stand aside or stay out of it.

When it was Haishi, it was Ye Fengya and Leng Rutong's turn to go to the bedroom to watch the spirit. Together with them were the second prince Ye Huaihe, the third prince Ye Qianzhi, and the fifth prince Ye Liangchen.The bedroom at night was eerily quiet, and the candles in the pale room were constantly flickering by the wind blowing from the window.

Leng Rutong leaned close to Ye Fengya, and his face became a little pale, Ye Qianzhi seemed to sense her fear, raised his head and asked, "Are you scared?"

Leng Rutong smiled lightly and shook his head, inadvertently glanced at the empress dowager's body lying on the bed, and then quickly turned his eyes away. Logically, she is not afraid, she has killed many people, and she is used to turning a blind eye to the corpse, but I don't know why I feel a little uneasy today.

It may be related to the Queen Mother's sudden death, she always felt that it would not be so sudden.There was no emergency, and the imperial physicians said that the queen mother went away very peacefully, and there was no fear before death.

Ye Fengya stepped up her strength and hugged her and said softly: "If you are tired, go to rest, it's the same with me."

Leng Rutong naturally refused, she preferred to stay by Ye Fengya's side at this time, Ye Fengya didn't say anything, but said with concern: "Then you sleep in my arms for a while."

Seeing the warmth and sweetness of the two of them, Ye Qianzhi felt uneasy in his heart, so he could only keep throwing coins into the brazier.

The second prince Ye Huaihe looked at the third prince indifferently: "Is the emperor's decree very surprising?"

Ye Qianzhi didn't raise his eyes to look at him, but just replied to him indifferently: "Everyone will be surprised, maybe Grandma Huang thinks that the father will still reign for ten years, and then the thirteenth brother will be able to take on important responsibilities."

Leng Rutong heard Ye Qianzhi say this, and felt distressed in his heart. He should be the most surprised. He got the promise from the emperor himself, and he told himself happily, but what he got was such a result. Although he She hides her emotions deeply, but she knows that this kind of loss is very frustrating.

Things that were thought to be readily available suddenly became someone else's, and the duck that I got thought it was cooked, but flew away.This kind of dissatisfaction is simply heart-wrenching.

The second prince stood up: "I thought Grandma Huang's favorite was the third younger brother, but it doesn't seem to be the case. I'm a little tired. I'm going to rest for a while. You guys just watch over and I'll replace you later." The second prince After speaking, he left, leaving the five of them and a group of court ladies behind.

In Fengyi Palace.

Even though it was midnight, the Fengyi Palace was still brightly lit, and Taifu Ning was discussing the matter with Concubine Ning in the side hall.

"Brother, I didn't expect the Queen Mother to make such a move. What was she thinking?" Concubine Ning Guifei looked puzzled. Even with such a twisted mind, she couldn't guess what the Queen Mother was going to do this time. Why, isn't this just for fear of chaos in the world?

"No matter what she thinks, it is not a bad thing for us to have the thirteenth prince as the crown prince, at least it is not the third prince." Taifu Ning looked very happy.

"Do you want to usurp the throne?" Ning Guifei was a little shocked by what her brother said, it was too bold.

"The thirteenth prince is only ten years old, and it will be a few years before he ascends the throne. It is definitely ten times easier to get rid of him during this period than the third prince." A fierce gleam flashed in Ning Taifu's eyes: "Besides, the current empress She is a timid person, if she doesn't want his son to have an accident, she will definitely come to you first."

"This is natural, but after all, the third prince is a serious concern. Recently, Leng Rutong has gotten closer to him. Didn't the seventh prince refuse to marry the Ning family? He must have been dragged to the third prince's side."

Taifu Ning raised the corners of his mouth and smiled cunningly: "Since they are getting close, let them never dare to get close again. Who are the people who are guarding the spirit now?" Taifu Ning asked the entourage next to him in the last sentence .

"The second prince, the third prince, the fifth prince, and the seventh prince and seventh concubine." The entourage replied neatly.

Taifu Ning looked at his sister and said cunningly, "Do you know what to do?"

Concubine Ning Gui was taken aback for a moment, and finally burst into laughter: "I'll ask someone to do it."

****

Leng Rutong felt very tired. He had knelt here for nearly two hours, and his feet were numb. Ye Fengya seemed to be used to kneeling, and he didn't appear tired at all. He hugged her in his arms: "Stop kneeling, Grandma Huang won't blame you if you don't kneel for a while, just sleep in her arms for a while."

Leng Rutong curled her lips and smiled at him: "I feel a little hungry."

As soon as she spoke, a court lady came in with meals as if she knew she would be hungry. "Princes and imperial concubines, you must be hungry too. The Imperial Dining Room made some Xiao Ye for you, do you need it now?"

Ye Fengya supported Leng Rutong to stand up: "Bring them all in, Third Brother, Fifth Brother must be hungry too. Let's rest first."

Leng Rutong said that he was hungry, Ye Qianzhi and Ye Liangchen naturally couldn't object, the maid brought in the meal, they ate a little in silence, Leng Rutong was really hungry, after eating two bowls of bird's nest porridge, Also ate two chicken legs.

He was passed on by cold pupils.Ye Liangchen laughed heartlessly at her: "Eat so much at night, be careful of gaining weight, the seventh brother won't like you anymore."

Leng Rutong pouted at him: "If I can make him dislike me with a little change, then I would rather he not like me."

Ye Fengya glared at Ye Liangchen angrily: "Fifth brother, don't talk nonsense, be careful that Grandma Huang will settle accounts with you at night, you bully his only grandson-in-law." Then he rubbed Leng Rutong's hair Si: "Don't listen to his nonsense, it doesn't matter if you become a fat man, eat more."

Leng Rutong looked at Ye Liangchen with a proud attitude, and his delicate little face was glowing with pride under the light, making people unable to help but take a second look.

Ye Qianzhi said quietly from the side: "Seventh Brother can really do it, no matter what the Seventh Concubine becomes, don't you care?"

Ye Fengya smiled back at him: "I think, I know myself better than Third Brother."

Leng Rutong was afraid that the two of them would confront each other, so she hurriedly said: "Keep your voice down, Grandma Huang is still over there, be careful that she blames you." side.

What the hell, she was never afraid of these things, why is she always so nervous today.

After eating Ye Xiao, they knelt for another hour before being replaced by another round of spirit guards.Leng Rutong walked out of the dormitory and exhaled again, and then took another breath, feeling very sleepy. "I'm so tired, find a place to lie down."

Their mansions are all outside the palace, and they don't have their own bedroom in the palace.

At this moment, a court lady came over: "The third prince, the fifth prince, the seventh prince, and the seventh concubine, the emperor sent Si Jin to take some of them to the palace to rest." 13acv.

A few people were a little tired from guarding the spirit, so they nodded. They had to rest for a while, and there were more things to be busy tomorrow, so they followed the maids to Fengyan Palace. people entered.

The maid named Sijin took them to a large side hall and said: "Several princes, the imperial concubine will wait here first, and the slaves will go and see if the Xixi have cleaned the wing room." Then she withdrew Go out and close the door.

Leng Rutong felt that something was wrong and hurriedly asked: "The guest rooms in the palace still need to be cleaned first? Don't they usually clean them?"

Ye Liangchen said heartlessly: "Maybe there are too many people staying tonight, so you need to sort out some temporarily?"

Ye Qianzhi immediately realized that something was wrong: "Impossible, we are princes, who dares to take over our room. Go..."

Ye Qianzhi went to open the door while talking, but found that the door could no longer be opened. Someone locked it from the outside. He shook it a few times, but the outside lock was very strong, and he couldn't open it at all.

"Can't you open it?" Ye Fengya also went up to help him open the door.

Leng Rutong observed the side hall calmly, there wasn't even a window, it was clearly intentional, but who was so bold to lock them up? "Bump the door, this room doesn't even have windows." Leng Rutong suggested decisively.

Ye Fengya and Ye Qianzhi slammed into the door forcefully, but as soon as they exerted force, people felt their heads spinning, and the two pressed their heads at the same time, and Ye Fengya said the last sentence before fainting: "Okay, Ye Xiaoli was poisoned."

Leng Rutong panicked, this was coming for them, she quickly caught Ye Fengya: "Ya, wake up..." Among the people shaking him while pressing him, Ye Fengya still didn't The reaction was really drugged.

She thought, and took out the antidote from her waist. These are all made by herself, and she doesn't know if it will work or not.

The fifth prince held Ye Qianzhi in his arms and said in a panic: "What to do, we have to get out of here quickly." Everyone knew that staying here must be dangerous, and they didn't know whether the person who harmed them wanted their lives or had some other purpose.

As soon as Leng Rutong stuffed the medicine into Ye Fengya's mouth, his eyes darkened and he fell down. The red pill got stuck on Ye Fengya's lips, and fell out within two seconds, rolling to the ground. corner.Just as the fifth prince wanted to drink Leng Rutong, his eyes went dark and he fell down unavoidably.

Outside the door, a black figure peeked into the door secretly, and nodded to a figure standing beside him: "They've all fallen down."

"Put the medicine in." The corner of the figure's mouth curled up with a frightening microbrush.

The black shadow replied coldly: "Yes." He took out a bamboo tube from his waist and blew white mist into it, and the four people lying in the room fainted unconsciously.

"Master, do you really want to do this?" Soi Ying asked the figure next to him after completing the task.

"The time has come to show your sincerity. Do you know how to do it tomorrow?" The voice of the figure was cold, without any fear of framing several princes.

"Yes, little one understands."

"Don't worry, your family will be prosperous and rich." The figure turned and left, saying a word that made Heiying give up.
