Chapter 269 National Mourning
When the old concubine asked, Qin Louyue showed some embarrassment.

Qin Zhao couldn't help feeling ashamed, he just listened to the relief of the crisis in the palace, let go of his hanging heart, and only cared about being happy, forgetting that his uncle and others were originally trapped in the palace, and their safety was unknown.

Seeing Qin Louyue's face, Qin Zhao also held back his anger, for fear of hearing some bad news. Just now, when Qin Louyue was discussing with His Royal Highness Princess Jinyang, she went late, so she didn't hear some things.

Fortunately, after she left, the two of them didn't avoid her while talking, and they finally got a general understanding.But judging by Jin Yang's appearance when he entered the palace, it shouldn't be a big deal.

Qin Louyue was silent for a while, and Fang Gong replied: "The person who sent the report from the palace didn't say anything about our lord, so it should be all right, but I heard that it was locked up for two days and no food was provided, old lady Concubine don't need to worry, if something happens, the palace servants who came to deliver the message will not fail to make it clear. Besides, His Highness has already entered the palace, presumably someone will be sent back to the residence at noon to report to the concubine that she is safe."

The old dowager thought so too.

The chaos is over now, as long as people are still alive.The rest is up to His Majesty how to deal with it.

He also asked Qin Louyue to send people to other prefectures to inquire about the situation.

Qin Zhao simply accepted the job.One is that the sent servants pass messages back and forth, some words may not be clear, and some words are not easy to explain to the servants.It's better for her to go and know more, that is, if there is anything that needs to be communicated between the houses, she will save time and not miss things by going there.Secondly, I am also worried.Especially the besieged Pei Mansion, she really should go and see it herself.After all, the Pei family is the elder brother's uncle's family.

The old concubine knew that she was worried, not to mention having her go, it was indeed more important than sending a servant to greet her, so she agreed to her request.

Qin Zhao's first stop was Pei's house, which was the furthest away.

Fortunately, the rebellious party only surrounded the Pei family at that time, and did not do anything to the Pei family. Moreover, the Pei family also had some servants. Because of the forced attack, casualties were always inevitable. I didn't pay much attention to things outside, which fortunately didn't cause too serious consequences.

It's just that Pei Yi is different from those honorable families who were born in martial arts, and the heart's ability to bear it is far from that strong. The whole family has been frightened a lot. Now, although the disaster has been put down, the people in the house are still in shock .

Hearing that the princess who is shoulder to shoulder with the palace came to visit, the servant rushed in to report, and soon got the approval, and another woman came to lead Qin Zhao to visit Mrs. Pei.Mrs. Pei thanked her for sending someone over to investigate the night before.

Qin Zhao saluted and said, "Auntie is too polite. My brother is not in the capital. These are what a niece should do. I am worried about my aunt today, so I came here to have a look. Although the chaos has calmed down now, it is just that the past few days have not Anwen, except for necessary purchases, it is better for people in the house not to go out. If my aunt needs help with anything, you can also send me a letter to the palace."

Although Mrs. Pei was frightened, her face was pale, and because she didn't eat well or sleep well for the past two days, she looked very haggard, but she was not at a loss. After listening to Qin Zhao's words, she said: "Come here at this time, if you want to Yes. Although our mansion was besieged for a few days, we didn't know any news from outside, but luckily we didn't suffer any losses, only a few servants were beaten to death. You came from outside, but you heard the news from the palace ?”

Qin Zhao knew that although the Pei family knew that the crisis in the palace had been resolved, the specific situation might not be clear, so he picked up what he knew and said, "When I came out, I only heard a few words from the chief historian. Uncle should be fine. At most, he was trapped in the palace, and his diet was not thoughtful. Presumably, the palace should send someone to deliver the news in a while. It's just that my uncle is a minister of six books. Now that the troubles are over, he must be discussing matters in the palace. Yes, I will definitely not be able to go back to the mansion. Auntie just needs to relax. If something really happened, someone must have come to pass the news long ago."

When Mrs. Pei heard this, she also felt that it made sense, and her heart was finally relieved.

Then Qin Zhao greeted Pei Zhujian, Pei Zhujie brothers and Pei Feiran with a smile, and said to Luo Jingchen: "Cousin don't have to worry, although the Duke of Yue's mansion was attacked by the rebels before, but there was no loss. When I left the city yesterday, I met Mrs. Hong from the Duke’s Mansion of England, and brought out a team of guards, and they all stayed in the Duke’s Mansion of Yue State. Although I haven’t had time to visit the Duke’s Mansion of Yue State, the Duke’s Mansion already had guards. The old lady has reserved manpower, so even if someone takes advantage of the chaos at night, nothing will happen. Besides, Cousin Jinghua is at home, he is a thoughtful person, and with his protection, Aunt Wei will be fine. Grandpa Luo I have been sitting in Jinwuwei, let alone worry."

Both father and son of the Luo family were in the palace. As a daughter and sister, Luo Jingchen was naturally worried, and asked a few more questions. Qin Zhao really didn't know about Luo Tong and Luo Jingnian, but since her uncle was fine, Qin Tong couldn't. He is a minister of Dali Temple, so he probably wouldn't be in any danger, but Luo Jingnian, because he was a bodyguard, when the prince's rebellious party attacked the Taiji Palace, it was naturally impossible for him not to participate in the battle, so his safety was really hard to say.But Qin Zhao believed that with Luo Jingnian's skills, even if he was injured, his life would never be in danger, so he had to give a few words of comfort.

Luo Jingchen also knew that no matter how worried he was, he had no choice but to wait for the news.

Qin Zhao got up to leave because he wanted to visit several other mansions without further delay.

Luo Jingchen wanted to send it off, but was also rejected by Qin Zhao politely: "Now I finally don't have to worry about it. Cousin must be tired after these few days of tossing around, so let's take care of my aunt and have a good rest. Although the chaos is over, after all, what happened like this I am afraid that there will be another turmoil in the court. My uncle is the head of the six bureaus. At this moment, nothing can happen to the family. Besides, the queen will have to go to the palace to cry tomorrow at the latest. It’s been a few days of hard work, so we must keep our spirits up.”

Luo Jingchen replied: "I know what Ah Zhao said. If there is any news, please send it. I will serve Ah's family well here, so you can rest assured."

After all, the foundation of the Pei family is not in the capital. In terms of good news, it can't be compared with their top noble families, especially at this time.

Qin Zhao said with a smile: "Cousin, you are too polite. Don't say that the Pei family is my brother's and I's natal family, but only talk about the relationship between my cousin and me. I will never refuse to do what I have to do."

After a few words of politeness, Qin Zhao left Pei's residence.

Then they went all the way to Luo's family, Chen's family, Li's family, You's family, and Qi's family.It was Duke E's mansion. She didn't go by herself, but she also sent Qin Ming who came out with her.

Back to the palace, met the old concubine, and reported the safety of all the palaces.The old concubine heard this, and couldn't help sighing, other things are fine, because the Duke of E's mansion is close to the crown prince, I'm afraid it will be implicated, only the deceased old Duke of E saved Emperor Li's life, if Emperor Li can Remembering the old relationship, even if the government of E State is implicated, it will not lose its head, at most it will win the title.But if Emperor Li didn't care about his affection, it would be hard to say.

There is also the Qi family who married their daughter to Wei Wangfu as the concubine, this time I am afraid they will also suffer.

The old concubine didn't blame Qin Zhao for privately deciding to visit the Qi family in Pingqinghou's mansion.

Although there are acquaintances and good friends who have been implicated by this disaster, I am afraid that they will not fare well, but the closest few families have not been affected, which is a comforting thing.

Qin Zhao accompanied the old concubine and said a few words. He had been worried for the past few days and had not been able to take a good rest. Qin Zhao persuaded the old concubine to rest and left Rongshouju.

Just after he was discharged from the hospital, he met Yixing.Qin Zhaodao: "Second sister came to see grandma? She just fell asleep, so it's better not to disturb her right now."

Yixing said: "I went to see my grandmother early in the morning. I heard that you are coming back, so I came here to have a look."

If it is a boudoir lady from an ordinary family, she will be fine when she knows that the chaos is over, but the Prince's Mansion is not an ordinary family, it was originally on the cusp of the crisis, Yixing's father is a prince, and her mother is a princess, and she is about to marry In the Prince's Mansion, she can't do it if she doesn't care about political affairs.

Qin Zhao also knew that she was worried, so he smiled and said, "I've been running for a long time, and I'm tired, why don't you go to Yulan Juli with the third sister, and the third sister will give me a sip of tea soup anyway."

Seeing her joking, Yixing lost most of her original sorrow, and scolded with a smile: "It seems like I can't bear to give you a sip of soup on weekdays."

When the two of them arrived at Yulan Residence, Yixing made tea for them, and they asked the maids to retreat. After hearing Qin Zhao's talk about the situation in each mansion, they knew that everything was fine, so they were happy, but Xuan frowned again. Said: "Uncle Prince and Uncle King Wei... don't know what will happen to Uncle King Jin and Uncle King Cheng."

Qin Zhao is not familiar with the palaces of several princes, and with her status, she is not qualified to run to the palaces of several princes, not to mention that it may be difficult for the crown prince and King Wei to save their lives this time, but they are the uncles of Yixing's direct relatives after all, so silence After a while, Qin Zhaofang said: "Prince and King Wei...you can only see how His Majesty will deal with it. After all, treason is a serious crime. I haven't heard that Prince Jin's Mansion and Prince Cheng's Mansion have anything to do with this disaster, so they won't be implicated. Three Elder sister, don't worry, hasn't my aunt gone to the palace? Even if she doesn't come back, she will send someone over. What's more, the queen's funeral, if your majesty wants to deal with anyone, she has to wait for the queen's funeral to pass. Third sister don't need to think too much, if there are no accidents, the news of the queen's funeral should be released in the palace tomorrow, then we will all enter the palace, and when we see Auntie, we will know everything."

Yixing was also sad when she thought of the death of her imperial grandmother who had always loved her.

However, due to the disasters of the past few days, I was very sad at first, and only eight points were left after being tortured.

But even though the news of the Queen's funeral has not officially come down, the palace has been arranged according to order, and all the people in the palace have changed into plain clothes, and the decorations in the palace have also gone to Dahong.It looked very depressed.

Although Yixing is not yet a filial piety, but she is still dressed in plain white dress, not the pampering of the past, coupled with worrying for several days, unable to eat and sleep well, instead, there is a kind of softness that is different from the past.

Sure enough, on the second day, the palace passed down a decree that all the masters of the Qin family are of high grade.Although the prince and His Royal Highness Princess Jinyang are in the palace, the palace has its own old concubine in charge.So he led Qin Zhao and Yixing into the palace to watch the funeral.

Even Qin Huaiyong and Yunhe Princess who lived in the three provinces also took them there.But Qin Yun and Qin Han stayed at home because they had no canonization rank. The old concubine asked Qin Louyue to take care of the twins, and Qin Louyue agreed.

Qin Zhaoyuan was still a little worried, but thinking that the chaos in the palace has calmed down now, it is probably the time when the guards are the strictest. The two people are not afraid of causing trouble when they are put in the palace, but they have a chance to cause trouble. At a time like this, they would not dare to borrow ten of their guts. The old concubine should have known well that they could let the two of them enter the palace.

And these two people also met at the mansion gate.Long time no see, Qin Huaiyong seemed to be getting older, Yun He was still amazingly beautiful, Qin Zhao only went forward to salute, but didn't say much.

The old concubine ordered everyone to get into the car.Qin Zhao was worried, so instead of taking his own ceremonial car, he and Yixing got into her car with the old concubine.Later, Qin Huaiyong and Yunhe Princess together.

From time to time, he arrived in the palace, and was led into the palace by his own palace servants.

The majestic and glorious imperial palace in the past has suffered disasters, but now it is completely empty. Qin Zhao is fine, but Yixing sheds tears in pain.

She has been coming to this imperial palace since childhood, has there ever been such a bleak scene?
The imperial grandmother who loved them the most passed away. The imperial grandfather was saddened by the death of the imperial grandmother's serious illness. The son who was born on his own and who had placed high hopes on him for decades stabbed him in the heart. Sprinkle a handful of salt on the wound, how can the old man not be sad?Even the Son of Heaven has the feelings of ordinary people.

The imperial grandfather, I don't know what's going on now.

Originally thought that after entering the palace, he could have a few words with A Niang, but A Niang is still in charge of the palace affairs at this time, and because of his rank, Yixing only glanced at A Niang from a distance.

Fortunately, although Yixing is only at the county level, she is the granddaughter of the emperor and empress. At this time, no one dares to find fault with her, but stays with Qin Zhao all the time.

Until the evening, after crying all day, he was also very tired and was in a daze, but Jinyang took the time to send a court lady to call the two sisters over to talk.

Seeing Princess Jinyang again, Qin Zhao was also taken aback. He hadn't seen her for more than a day. Jinyang's haggard eyes were sunken, and his eyes were red.I'm afraid I didn't sleep at all.Coupled with the commotion in the past few days, how long has it been since he had a good night's sleep?

Qin Zhao hurriedly persuaded: "I know my aunt is sad, but at this time, my aunt has to take care of her health. Seeing you like this, not to mention the third sister, even I am very worried."

Jin Yang took the hands of the two of them and said to Qin Zhao: "Good boy, your third sister has been spoiled all the time. I'm afraid I'm too busy to take care of you these days. Take good care of your third sister."

Qin Zhao naturally should be.Jin Yang confessed a few more words.Qin Zhao was worried about Qin Huaiyu and hurriedly asked about the situation.Jin Yang said: "Everything is fine, just a little tired. It will be fine after a few days."

Yixing, who had been silent for a while, suddenly said at this moment: "Aniang, the imperial grandfather..."

Jin Yang sighed: "Father is okay, he is just sad. How can he not be sad when your imperial grandmother is gone? When encountering such a thing, it is a double blow. If your imperial grandmother is here, why is it so. "

Yixing cried for a whole day, and at this moment she couldn't help but shed tears again: "Aniang, Uncle Prince and Uncle Wei Wang..."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he was reprimanded by the promotion: "Shut up." After a pause, Fang said sadly, "Axu doesn't have Uncle Prince and Uncle Wei Wang anymore. Never mention it again in front of others."

In the end it was his own uncle, Yixing didn't give up and asked: "Then they..."

Jin Yang knew what his daughter meant, and heaved a long sigh: "I was imprisoned in the palace, and I will only deal with it after your grandmother's funeral. You don't have to worry about these things, it's not your question."

After hearing this, Yixing only let out a "regret".

However, when Jin Yang said this, Qin Zhao felt that Emperor Li only imprisoned the crown prince and King Wei instead of killing him directly. up.But being demoted to common people and imprisoned for a lifetime is a fate that the two cannot escape.

Others involved in this matter will not be so lucky.

It's just that they are in the palace at the moment, and they can't do anything wrong, so they never dare to ask more questions.I don't know the news outside the palace yet.

Jin Yang only took time to see her daughter and niece. Now, as the emperor's eldest daughter, she was in charge of the empress's funeral and had no time to talk to the sisters.

After saying a few words, he sent Yixing and Qin Zhao out.Seeing that Yixing was so tired, he wanted her to sleep with him for a while, but then he thought, at this time, one more thing is worse than one less thing, if it is rumored that Yixing only cared about sleeping during the national funeral, and it was not because of the death of his grandmother And sad rumors, that's really not a good thing.

Qin Zhao pulled Yixing to go out, but Yixing turned his head to Princess Jinyang and said, "Aniang, I want to visit the imperial grandfather, okay?"

Jin Yang was taken aback.

At such a time, no one dared to go to the emperor's side, for fear of suffering from the fish pond. Even though Jinyang himself was sad and worried about His Majesty, he was cautious when he really came before His Majesty.

Doing less and making less mistakes, Jinyang wanted to refuse, but seeing Yixing's pitiful eyes, he could only nod.

Yixing is just the daughter of a princess family. Although her father is a prince, he is a prince with a different surname. She herself is only a county head.The empress loved her so much, and she was so innocent, no matter how suspicious Emperor Li was at this time, he would not have any doubts about Yixing.She is also the granddaughter of Emperor Li's direct relative, if she goes to comfort the old man, it will be a comfort to the old man after all.

No matter how scary the emperor is right now, he is also Jin Yang's father.Jin Yang is also Emperor Li's favorite daughter, saying that the Tian family has no family ties, but how can family ties be easily wiped out?Even if she didn't want Yixing to take risks, she still wanted to comfort her father.

Finally nodded.

But he told Qin Zhao: "I don't worry about A Xu going alone, A Zhao, you have always acted safely, so you can send A Xu there."

So he called the maids and eunuchs, and led them to visit Emperor Li.

After Qin Zhao listened to the order, he broke out in a cold sweat.

But at this time, she couldn't help but refuse.

Knowing that His Majesty the Emperor is definitely in a suspicious, violent and sad state at this time, she wished she could find an outlet, but she had no choice but to bump into it.In case the old emperor just wanted to vent his anger and she hit the muzzle of the gun and lost her life, who would she cry for?
There were maids and eunuchs at the front and back, even if Qin Zhao wanted to tell Yixing a few words, he couldn't speak.

Trembling outside the Taiji Palace, the eunuch reported that it was the Lord of Fuling County and the Lord of Yixing County asking to see him.

Fortunately, from time to time, a eunuch came back to spread the word, saying that His Majesty had rested, praised the two of them for their filial piety, and sent them away.

Qin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly wiped his cold sweat.For the first time, I felt that since I traveled through time, I have circled around the gate of death again.This feeling is too bad.
