One-acre three-point land of the miracle doctor and peasant girl

Chapter 265 The Empress Dowager Died

Crying for the queen mother, even if you are sick, as long as you are not dead, you have to crawl, otherwise the crime is the same as disobedience.

The capital was already under martial law, but now that the news has spread, the investigation has become even stricter.

Along the way, Luwu saw many officials from Jingzhao Yin’s Yamen, as well as the Imperial Forest Army. When they saw people wearing red clothes that had not been replaced, they arrested them and put them in prison. After hearing the death knell, it meant that the royal family had a funeral. His clothes dangling in the street are purely courting death.

Going round and round along the way, I finally got back to the mansion, and just happened to run into officials from the Ministry of Rites who came outside to report the funeral. The little eunuch in the palace delivered the emperor's oral order, the empress dowager is dead, didn't you hear that it was better yesterday?Why did it suddenly disappear?

"Luwu, how's the situation outside?"

Hongxue asked people to move all the festive decorations in the house into the storeroom. Those heavy and heavy furniture were really worthless, so they covered them with white cloth.

It can also be regarded as the only old man in the royal family who has kind thoughts towards Shan Yucheng, and he should do his filial piety.

As for herself, she was already "sick" and already dressed very plainly, so she only needed to change the bright red quilt or something.

"It's already under strict investigation, and it's hard to come back."

Lu Wu patted her chest, her face was pale, fortunately she was wearing a plain white dress in the morning, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to return to the palace.

"Miss, just now someone from the palace asked you to cry, but you are still 'sick', there is no shelter in the inner city, you see, the sun is hot today, so you are not afraid of you fainting? How can these people So inhumane?" Luwu said angrily.

"I'm afraid this trip was specially prepared for me by some people. If I don't go, the other party can justifiably enter the mansion to search, or they can simply condemn me for disobedience." Hongxue said with a smile, "If I Go, if a person who has been ill for so long does not pass out, it is against common sense, and I am deceiving the king."

"Then Zensheng is good?" Lu Liu came in after changing her clothes, and asked anxiously.

To put it bluntly, Hongxue felt that all of this was aimed at herself, so the empress dowager must be Shan Yuwenhao...

The empress dowager, although Shan Yuwenhao is not the mother of the empress dowager, but the relationship is pretty good on weekdays, even if it is pretending, he must go through the show to the end, and he will definitely be sad for a while, but there are high-ranking wives in the court who want to cry, this is Rules, I have no other choice.

For royal funerals, Hongxue knows only a few rules, let alone mentioning the four maids around her.

Fortunately, the butler, Lu Song, knew a lot. The house was organized in an orderly manner, and the servants were busy in an orderly manner.

Hongxue put on a plain white dress, dressed properly and simply, with only the calm green willow and green man, and went out of the house in a carriage at the second door.

At this time, someone must be able to sit in the mansion and help with some trivial matters. It must not be based on the rules and let people pick out the problem. Now there are many people in the capital who are staring at Cheng Wang's mansion.

Arriving at the gate of the inner city, many officials and wives have already arrived. Almost all of them are in plain clothes and their faces are facing the sky. At this time, everyone is smart enough not to wear makeup. After a while, the death knell rings again, and everyone will kneel down and cry, with snot and tears , will take makeup.

Regarding the crying spirit, the wives of each family have their own positions, the front is the concubine, the concubine of the prince, and the wife of Yipin at the back, and so on. Hongxue happens to be in the second row, which is the same as the position occupied by the vegetable vendors during the market. , Use white lime to delineate an open space, probably to take care of these ladies, and a small table is arranged next to each of them, with teapots and tea bowls on it.

Because Hongxue had nothing to do with the wives and concubines of the officials, and no one came up to talk to her, the princes and concubines saw that she was recovering from illness, and even moved to the side unobtrusively. Sick.

On the other hand, after seeing Hongxue, the crown princess over there walked over quickly.

"See Princess Concubine." Hongxue actually didn't want to kneel at all, but she still had to do what was necessary.

But before she knelt down, she was held back by the Crown Princess and said, "Sister, you don't need to be too polite. In fact, in terms of seniority, you are still a generation older than me. I should call you Aunt Huang."

Hongxue was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that when she married Shan Yucheng, the queen mother was afraid that her status would be too low and that others would look down on King Cheng, so she adopted herself as a foster daughter. Yu Wenhao's younger sister?Thinking of this, she felt a little sick.

Seeing that Hongxue didn't speak, the Crown Princess looked at her sickly look, and said concernedly: "Sister Ting, can you hold on like this?"

Hongxue tapped her eyes with a handkerchief, her eyes turned red immediately, tears flowed out, and her expression was also mournful, she looked really sad for the Queen Mother's death, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you for your concern, concubine I only hate myself for being ill all the time, for not being able to fulfill my filial piety in front of the Empress Dowager, and now...now...she is gone...No matter what, my concubine will come to see her off..."

The Crown Princess stared at Hongxue's handkerchief, and Hongxue knew she was suspicious, so she handed the handkerchief forward and said, "If the Crown Princess likes the pattern on it, I can ask someone to send some to the Prince's Mansion some other day."

"My sister was joking, but my sister just thinks that my sister and King Cheng are a perfect match, and they are both so filial." The princess sniffed it unintentionally, but there was no smell on the handkerchief, and she immediately laughed: "Sister, take care of yourself, If you feel unwell for a while, even if you send a servant girl to look for your sister, the Queen Mother will be considerate."

Hongxue nodded her thanks, watched the princess go back to her original position, and smiled in her heart: I'm afraid she came to test me, since I didn't do good things for Shan Yukun, then I should also suffer a bit, Miss Jiao like you, How would you know that some medicines are colorless and tasteless, you still want to see it?It is impossible in the next life!
The sun at noon is the hottest time of the day. It burns on the skin and feels hot to the touch, making people feel like they are on fire. It is best to stay indoors on such a day, or go to the village to escape the heat and drink A cup of iced sour plum soup can relieve the heat and calm the irritability of the mind.

At this time, at the gate of the palace in the inner city of Kyoto, a large number of official wives in plain dresses have gathered. Almost everyone is frowning, and there is a faint look of sadness on their faces. I don't know if it is because of the sudden death of the Queen Mother. , still worried about crying under the sun.

"Dong dong dong..."

The death knell sounded again, all the wives present knelt down in their seats, and the officials from the Ministry of Rituals read the eulogy in front, and the female officials sent from the palace generally meant that the queen mother was infected with the cold and worried about the front-line war, so she stayed all day. Worrying and sleepless at night, he couldn't stand the toss when he was old, so he died.
