Chapter 285 The Funeral
Seeing Yan Ruxue's surprised look, Li Yi gave a wry smile. "Yes, you are right. If our information is correct, she did murder her husband. This royal family is like this. Family affection is almost non-existent. Even if it is a biological child, it is good to use it when necessary." No mercy!"

Yan Ruxue frowned slightly, feeling indescribable in her heart. Although Li Yi said it was fine, she was still deeply worried. After all, Empress Wei had already grasped the power, and what Li Yi and the others did now was wrong. Once caught a little bit of the handle, it is the crime of implicating the entire family!
However, she will not try to persuade Li Yi, because she knows that this matter is no longer the matter of their Bai family!

Li Yi took a shower, fell asleep for a while, and got up again when he was having lunch.

Yan Ruxue couldn't help being shocked when she saw Li Yi got up. "Why are you up? You haven't slept all day and all night, why don't you sleep a little longer!"

Li Yi smiled wryly. "Can't sleep! There are not many clans in Shendu, and the emperor's princes are too young, so I'm going to guard the spirit, and prepare two more sets of clothes for me. I will be in the palace for a few days , the mansion will be taken care of by you for the past two days, you need to spend more time on your mother's side! There are two children! You should not do anything in Wei's mansion for the past two days, and you have to inform the elder brother and the second brother , and uncle and the others, don’t be impulsive now, as long as we don’t let the Wei family get hold of it and preserve our strength, then we’ve won! Aunt Huang Biao is looking for candidates. Once a candidate for the new emperor is found, Huang Biao Auntie is ready to make a move!"

Yan Ruxue didn't say anything, she put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand, turned around and went to the side room to help Li Yi pack up her clothes.

Seeing this, Li Yi smiled. He was as smart as her, and he didn't need to explain some things too clearly!

Glancing at Xiao Yi'er who was wolfing down, Li Yi warned softly. "Whether I'm at home these days or not, you have to listen to your mother carefully, do you know?"

Xiao Yi'er stuffed a piece of braised pork into her mouth and muttered. "I've always listened to my daddy!"

Li Yi hesitated and sighed helplessly, this son was really sent by heaven to punish him!Picking up Yan Ruxue's bowl and chopsticks, he probably won't be able to eat any proper meals these days!

When Yan Ruxue came back and saw Li Yi holding her bowl and chopsticks, she couldn't help but stare. "There are clean bowls and chopsticks next to you, why do you take my used ones!"

Li Yi smiled and did not speak, and continued to eat.

Li Yi is such a scoundrel, Yan Ruxue had no choice but to pack up some snacks that could last for Li Yi. She didn't know the rules of guarding spirits in this god city, but she also saw it when she was in Liangzhou. If the family is old, it is definitely hard work to guard the spirit. She believes that the emperor's spirit is definitely more difficult to guard than the spirit of ordinary people!

After the three-day vigil is over, it will be an auspicious day. Although Yan Ruxue is a princess, it is only a continuation, and the old princess is sick, and Yi'er is young, so Li Yi asked for permission Yan Ruxue wears Xiao Xiao at home, the successor concubine of an ordinary county king, not a great person, the new emperor and empress Wei agreed without paying much attention.

Yan Ruxue didn't want to catch up with the excitement, but Li Yao, Yan Chen, Bai Han and other famous people in the mansion have gone, and they must go!

It wasn't until ten o'clock in the afternoon that a group of people returned to the palace. Bai Han came in through the door of the white house, while Bai Li sneaked into the palace early and waited for everyone with Yan Ruxue.

A group of people sat together in the small flower hall of the palace, Yan Ruxue looked at Li Yi and couldn't help feeling distressed, but in three days, Li Yi had lost a whole circle of weight, his beard covered half of his cheeks, his face was full of vicissitudes, That scar is even more abrupt!
Once she sat down, Bai Li asked Yan Ruxue the same question that day. "I said brother-in-law, you entered the palace as soon as you heard the death knell, why did you let that old witch succeed!"

Li Yi sighed. "When we heard the death knell, the emperor had already passed away for more than a day. Empress Wei had already assigned consorts Wei Jie, Wei Guan, Wei Weiqing Wei Song, Zuo Qianniu Zhonglang General Wei Kai, Chang'an Ling Wei Bo, Lang Gao Song was divided into commanding these soldiers and horses, and Wei Yuan, a member of Zhongshushe, was ordered to inspect the six streets in the city. He also ordered Xue Sijian, the general of Zuojianmen and internal servant, to lead [-] soldiers to Junzhou to defend Junzhou to guard against Junzhou. Inspector Qiao Wang Li Chongfu. Empress Wei appointed Pei Tan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and Zhang Xi, Minister of Industry, as the third ranks of the Tongzhongshu sect, so that they would still be left behind in the eastern capital. Empress Wei also appointed Zhang Jiafu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, Cen Xi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Cen Xi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. The servant Cui Shi is a colleague, she completed these actions almost overnight, we have no precautions... Otherwise, you think the Shenwu army I brought back, and the imperial cousin are really dry Is it?"

Hearing this, there was a moment of silence in the flower hall, and then Bai Li said with a wry smile. "Brother-in-law, this Wei Shi has become the empress dowager. Now she alone has the final say whether it is the harem or the previous court. What should we do? Or I will take people to assassinate the Wei family directly! "

Yan Ruxue gave Bai Li a white look. "Second brother, when will you be able to change your impulsive bad habits! Even if you count the people from the two sects under your command, are you sure you can kill all the members of the Wei family? What's more The current Wei family's guards are estimated to have more than doubled!"

Bai Li was immediately discouraged, he was not sure!

Li Yi's answer was the same as that day. "Don't worry, Cousin Huang is looking for a candidate for the new emperor! Once the search is complete, she will do it, and her temper is completely up to us!"

Bai Han frowned slightly. Bai Li and Yan Ruxue were not in the court, so he didn't know the current situation in the court. Although Empress Wei seemed to have monopolized power, in fact she just got an empty title However, it is Princess Taiping and Wu Sansi who are really powerful in this court! "Princess Taiping's ambition is well known! Will she be willing to be inferior to others?"

Li Yi smiled helplessly. "Of course she is not reconciled, but it is impossible for her to ascend to the throne by herself, and since her mother, Empress Wu, it has become a big taboo for women to be in power, and there is no force willing to support her , Therefore, she must choose someone she likes! Support the throne, so that at least she can maintain her current position for the rest of her life!"

Bai Han nodded.

Bai Li frowned and asked inexplicably. "Then why should she go far away? Isn't your surname Li too? Why didn't she push you to the throne?"

"Cough cough..." Li Yi coughed lightly. Princess Taiping approached him, but he was not interested in that position, and he didn't want to be forced to marry a lot of women he didn't like and put them in trouble there! "Because I'm not obedient enough!"
