The dynasty has a daughter who is so tough

Chapter 232

Early the next morning, Lu Tiying went out of the palace to send Qihong away.

In front of the official road, Lu Tiying cupped her hands and said, "I will see you off after a long journey, and I will send you here. You can keep walking along the official road. If you hurry up, you can reach our Luzhou in about half a month."

Qihong nodded, cupped her hands and said, "Master Hou is so kind and virtuous, I will definitely repay you when I have the opportunity."

Lu Tiying smiled and nodded: "Let's go."

"Master Hou, the battle in the harem is hidden and turbulent, so be careful in everything." Qi Hong reminded.She also knows some things about the harem.

"Thanks for the reminder, I'll be careful."

Qi Hong cupped her hands: "Master Hou, take your leave, we will meet later."

"There will be a period later." Lu Tiying also cupped her hands.

Qihong turned around and got on the horse, flicked her whip, and galloped towards Luzhou.

Lu Tiying watched her back until she disappeared, then turned and got into the carriage.

In the carriage, Lu Tiying smiled and said to herself: "Oh, I hope Xueying won't recognize Qihong."

When telling Lu Heying that she wanted Qihong to go to Luzhou, Lu Heying told her in surprise that the reason why Lu Xueying failed to assassinate the queen was because Qihong defeated and captured her alive.

And I sent Qihong to Luzhou. With Xueying's personality, once she recognized her, she would definitely trouble Qihong.So she also mentioned this matter in the letter, if Xueying insisted, let Lu Xiaoman help persuade her.

At the same time, above the palace hall, Wei Kai also asked Eunuch Xu to read the imperial edict to abolish the empress.

There was complete silence in the hall, and all the ministers bowed their heads to listen, and no one showed any objection.

It will be a matter of time before the Du family collapses, but it's still a bit surprising to hear that Du Xiangchan has done so many bad things.

After the abolished edict was read out, all the ministers had no objection, and Wei Kai immediately sent someone to send the edict to Changle Palace.After the reading was announced, some guards took Du Xiangchan to the cold palace.

In Changle Palace, Xiao Tiaozi hurried into the gate with the imperial edict followed by a group of guards.

Xiao Tiaozi sang promises: "The imperial decree has arrived! Empress Du Xiangchan received the decree——"

"Eunuch—" the maid rushed out in a panic, "The Empress, the Empress... committed suicide!"

Xiao Tiaozi was startled, and immediately asked her to take it to see.

Hurrying into Du Xiangchan's bedroom, she saw Du Xiangchan lying motionless on the bed.The hair accessories are neat, the makeup is exquisite, the clothes are gorgeous, and even the shoes are well worn.With two hands clasped in front of his chest, his face was peaceful as if he had fallen asleep.

Xiao Tiaozi cautiously stretched out his index finger to touch her breath, his hand trembled, and sure enough, there was no breath at all.

Turning to ask the maid: "How long has it been?"

The palace maid looked sad: "I didn't see your empress getting up this morning, and she didn't dare to disturb her, so she just waited. It wasn't until I heard that the imperial decree was coming that I got the courage to come in and call my empress, only to find out..."

Xiao Tiaozi nodded, sighed, took out the edict and read it out.Then go back and report the situation to Wei Kai.

In the imperial study room, upon hearing the news of Du Xiangchan's suicide, Wei Kai still sighed.

She opened her mouth and said, "For Princess Haoyue's sake, let's give her a generous burial, posthumous title: Empress Sixian. I hope she can understand the word virtuous in her next life."

In the evening, Lu Tiying heard about Du Xiangchan's suicide.Because the little dancer came to report that the women in the harem spontaneously set up lanterns for Du Xiangchan by the Qingyi River.

"Oh, follow them." Wei Kai nodded.

Lu Tiying sighed helplessly, lowered her head and continued eating without saying anything.

Wei Kai looked at her and comforted her: "She has done too many evil things, and it will happen sooner or later. You don't have to feel guilty, it has nothing to do with you."

"I know." Lu Tiying nodded.

Seeing that she was still not very happy, Wei Ji said again: "Why don't you go for a walk by the Qingyi River with me after dinner, and you can also put a lantern for Lu Yunshuang. There is a saying in the dynasty that the dead The relatives of the relatives put a lantern down the river, and she can receive it in the underworld."

"Really?" Lu Tiying asked in surprise.

Wei Kai smiled: "The legend is like this." Naturally, he didn't quite believe it.

Lu Tiying looked serious: "Since everyone is doing this, I would rather believe it than believe it, then let's put another one after dinner. No, I'd better put a few more, except for Yun Shuang Yes, give some more to the female soldiers who died in battle. Sigh, I don’t know if I will receive one if I give it to the ancestors.”

Seeing her serious face, Wei Kai really wanted to laugh, thinking that a woman who dared to kill her alone would not believe these things, but unexpectedly she was serious.

Holding back a smile, he said, "It's okay, I'll ask someone to bring you some more, and you can give it to anyone you want."

Lu Tiying smiled and nodded.

After eating quickly, Lu Tiying was in a hurry to set off the lanterns.

Wei Ji had someone prepare dozens of lanterns for her, and the two of them took a car together to set up lanterns by an artificial river in the harem.

In the night, the carriage with bright yellow curtains slowly drove towards the Qingyi River.

There was a commotion by the river, and a concubine excitedly spread the news, "The emperor is here! The emperor is here!"

Upon hearing the news, everyone became excited.

Some hastened to arrange their dresses;
Some hurriedly asked the maids if their makeup was dirty;
Some were secretly worried that they would blame Du Xiangchan for putting lanterns on Du Xiangchan without permission;

……

The carriage was getting closer and the car stopped.

The girls quickly knelt down and saluted: "The concubine sees the emperor."

Wei Ji got out of the car, and stretched out his hand to lead Lu Tiying down.

He said casually, "Stay flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." All the girls stood up excitedly.

However, when he looked up, there was actually Lu Tiying standing next to Wei Kai, and he suddenly felt very angry.Why is it this woman again!

In fact, the reason why they spontaneously came to set up lanterns for Du Xiangchan tonight was not because they missed her or could not bear her death, but because they felt empathy for Du Xiangchan's tragic end inexplicably.

Under Wei Ji's great favor and sole favor on Lu Tiying, even the queen's fate is so bleak in the end, let alone himself?

Sure enough, Wei Ji took Lu Tiying straight to a riverside with few people, without even looking at them.

"Oh, it's really different." A concubine couldn't help sighing.

The people next to her immediately echoed: "Isn't it? It's also the emperor's woman. If she comes to set off lanterns, the emperor will accompany her in person, but we can't even get a straight look. What's wrong with the world."

"Forget it, let's not say a few words, if someone listens to it, I'm afraid I will put up lanterns for someone in a few days." An older concubine said bluntly.

As soon as she said this, the other concubines who wanted to speak held back their words.That's right, so what can you do for a while, except for bringing troubles on yourself, there is no benefit at all.

It's better to scold that Luzhou bitch in my heart, I heard that I have been cursed a lot, and sometimes it will come true!
All the girls glared angrily at Lu Tiying who was not far away, like a ferocious wolf in the dark.

"It's really cool by the river." Lu Tiying said suddenly, her sixth sense was also very sensitive.

Wei Kai immediately asked with concern: "Is it cold? I'll send someone to fetch you a cloak immediately. Little Tiaozi..."

"No need. I'm not so delicate. It's just that it's cooler than the Wanshou Palace, but it's also cool and comfortable."

Wei Kai looked at her and smiled: "That's fine, I won't be cold when I hold you."

As he spoke, he opened his arms and hugged her.Immediately, the women who saw it not far away were heartbroken, and couldn't help but gasped.

Lu Tiying took his hand away: "How can I let you go when you hold me?"

I hurried to the river and squatted down, and put the lanterns in the river by myself.

Wei Kai walked behind her: "Then I will stand behind you and protect you from the wind, right?"

The little Tiaozi next to him immediately flattered and said, "How can the emperor do this to block the wind, all of you come here."

When a few court ladies and eunuchs came over, they immediately ordered them to stand in a semicircle and block Wei Ji and Lu Tiying.

He also asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, Lord Hou, do you feel better?"

Lu Tiying shook her head with a speechless smile: "Your flattery skills are really second to none, no one in the world can beat you."

Wei Kai also smiled and said: "The fact is like this, but I am still very satisfied."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty..." Xiao Tiaozi said happily.

The concubines not far away saw the eunuchs and maids standing behind them, and someone wondered what that meant.

"Didn't you see this, man-made wind wall." said the concubine who complained the most just now.

Everyone suddenly realized when they heard this, and secretly lamented that Lu Tiying's treatment was really no one else's.Feeling sad and helpless.

Moreover, they had already finished playing and were going to go back, but Wei Kai hadn't left yet, so they didn't dare to leave.

However, Lu Tiying brought a lot of lanterns and thought it was very interesting, so she didn't leave for a long time.

Mosquitoes were rampant by the river, and the skirts of the concubines were exposed in many places, which just provided opportunities for mosquitoes.Originally, I also brought mosquito repellent incense, but it has been burned out after a long time.

As a result, I was constantly bitten by mosquitoes, which made me miserable.

Feeling depressed, she couldn't help but put all her dissatisfaction and complaints on Lu Tiying.

The next day, the incident reached the ears of the Empress Dowager Fang Yi, and the veteran Gongdou immediately had a plan.He called his confidant to the side and whispered a few words.

The next day, Wei Kai went to Changshou Palace to meet the Empress Dowager, and proposed to make Lu Tiying her empress.
