Chapter 61 Chu Bufan's Death

The fact that Mingqi went from Yongting Palace to Wenxiu Palace happened several times after that.

Mingqi obviously went to Yongting Palace those few times, but in the end he left again.

And after Mingqi left Yongting Palace, he either went to Changruo's Wenxiu Palace, Qi Xiayun's Changchun Palace, or Han Yuting's Fucui Palace.

In this way, in one month, Mingqi only stays in Yongting Palace for about two or three days.

When they first saw Mingqi leaving Yongting Palace, some people wondered if Li Wan had offended Mingqi, and they were waiting for Li Wan to be deposed and punished, but they happened to see a large number of Mingqi on the second day. The rewards entered Yongting Palace.

In this way, it is impossible to define whether Li Wan is favored or not.

But that's exactly what happened. Apart from attracting attention at the beginning, Li Wan became more and more transparent. She was still better with Chang Ruo and the others, but there were fewer and fewer people in the palace who would always pay attention to her.

In addition to the attitude towards Li Wan, Mingqi has another thing that people can't see through, and that is Zhang Shuyue.

Zhang Shuyue entered the palace on the same day as Li Wan. Logically, judging from what happened when Mingqi favored the eldest Ruo Han Yuting and the three of them, Mingqi should declare Zhang Shuyue to be in bed after favoring Li Wan.

But in fact, Mingqi has never turned over Zhang Shuyue's signboard, and Zhang Shuyue, who lives in Chuxiu Palace, seems to have been forgotten by Mingqi.As for Mingqi, Changruo's Wenxiu Palace was the most visited, followed by Qi Xiayun's Changchun Palace and Han Yuting's Fucui Palace.

Day by day, the weather is hot day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it is July, the hottest month of the year.

A great event happened on the third day of the seventh lunar month. Chu Bufan, the prime minister of the three dynasties, passed away.

The news came after dark. At that time, I couldn't sleep because the weather was too hot. I was sitting in the side hall drinking the sour plum soup made in winter and spring. I fanned the wind, and put several basins of ice around the soles of my feet.

"Where did you hear this news?" When An Fulai rushed in to tell me the news, the sour plum soup in my hand dropped to the ground out of surprise, and Qi He and Fang Hao fanned each other. The movement also stopped.

"Back to the queen mother, it's over there in the imperial study." An Fulai replied.Xu Shi just rushed to tell me about it. Because he ran too fast, not only was his whole body drenched in sweat, but he was also panting for words.

"Master Chu passed away suddenly, and many matters in the court that he presided over are now in a mess. The emperor and the ministers of the court are discussing these matters in the imperial study. Xiao Yunzi is worried that the queen mother will not know about this matter. It’s a matter, so I took the time to find someone to talk to the slave.” An Fu said.

"Did the people sent by Xiao Yunzi say when and why Master Chu passed away?" I nodded and asked again.

Although Chu Bufan is already in his 70s, his body has been in good health all these years, and he seldom heard of illness.He was still safe and sound when he went to court this morning, but now the news of his death suddenly came, which was so sudden that people couldn't believe it.

"Back to the Queen Mother, I told you, the specific time is not much, about the time from Shenshi to Youshi." An Fu said, and after speaking, he said: "The person who brought Xiao Yunzi was called Lu Gonggong. According to the news from the Chu family, Mr. Chu was fine when he returned home in the evening. He talked to his family members for a while after returning home, and then went into the study to work. The Chu family also saw that it was long after dinner time, but Master Chu has not been seen coming out of the study, so let the servants go to the study to call."

"Unexpectedly, the servant knocked on the door outside the study room for a long time but Master Chu didn't answer. The servant was worried about something, so he broke open the door and entered the study room. As soon as he entered the study room, he saw Master Chu lying motionless in front of the desk, waiting to leave. In the past, I felt for the pulse and found out that Master Chu had already died. It is said that when the servants found Master Chu, his body was cold and began to stiffen." An Fulai said again.

When I heard this, I felt really uncomfortable.

I have said before that although Chu Bufan is sometimes stubborn and incomprehensible, everyone can see that he is dedicated to doing things for the court.

So even though he and Mrs. Du were dissatisfied with Mingqi's insistence on marrying Changruo, I still admire his loyalty to the court, so although I punished Mrs. Du, I didn't let this matter get out. During the annual banquet last year, I personally explained the reason to him.

Thinking of the way Chu Bufan kowtowed in front of the imperial study room last winter in order to ask Mingqi to give up Na to marry Changruo, I still can't believe that it was he who died just now that Anfu said.

And now hearing that he was still working in the study before his death, I felt even more uncomfortable.

"How is the Chu family doing now?" I asked.

"It's not good to go back to the Queen Mother," An Fulai shook his head after hearing what I said, "Mrs. Chu passed out after hearing that Master Chu was gone. It is said that she is still awake. Several sons of Master Chu It's not a big deal, so the Chu family is in a mess right now."

"The Ai family remembers that Master Chu has a great grandson, what's his name?" I frowned after hearing An Fulai's words and asked.

"Returning to the Queen Mother, her name is Chu Lin. She has just reached the attention of the weak crown this year. She is the grandson of the Chu family." An Fulai replied, "This Chu Lin has always been Master Chu. When Master Chu had an accident, he was still in Lushan Academy, but the Chu family Someone has already been sent to Lushan Academy to pick him up, and I think he will be arriving at the Chu family soon."

"That's good." I nodded when I heard the words, thinking that this Chu Lin was brought up by Chu Bufan, and his ability should be good. If he presides over Chu Bufan's funeral, nothing will happen, so I went Take it easy.

"An Fulai, pass on the password of Ai's family, and order the imperial hospital to send several imperial doctors to the Chu family immediately. No matter what happens, don't let Mrs. Chu have any accidents." Something went wrong, so he hurriedly ordered.

"No, the slave will do it here."

"Go."
