The Best Fake Eunuch

"It's your fault, old man. Do you know what's going on? You just teach people a lesson? It's just because the yin talisman is really difficult to solve, so we have to..." Xiao Chen still wanted to reason with Zhang Jiuzhi.

"Xiao Chen!" Ouyang Yunxiu scolded coquettishly, "Stop talking."

"Good words don't sound good!" Zhang Jiu pointed, "Let's all go, don't bother me if you have nothing to do in the future!"

"Tsk tsk tsk... These words are really boring, as if anyone is willing to scold if they have nothing to do!" Xiao Chen was not willing to listen to his words, "Master, Yunxiu, let's go!"

"Go, go, close the door." Zhang Jiuzhi waved his hand, and lay down on the bed by himself, closing his eyes. This day will not stop.

"Oh right, I might really bother you these few days, your old man needs help." Xiao Chen went out, but opened the door to probe again.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Jiuzhi opened his eyes instantly.

"Digging graves and robbing imperial tombs." Xiao Chen said.

What Xiao Chen wants to steal is not the imperial tomb, but the imperial concubine.

Duanmu Nanqiao is going to die this morning, and the coffin should be set up here. According to their agreement, Duanmu Nanqiao will leave a last word, asking the emperor to keep everything simple when handling her funeral affairs, so that she can be buried as soon as possible.

So her funeral ceremony should not be too complicated, and she will be buried within three days.

Although Ouyang Yunxiu said that she could survive for seven days, Xiao Chen didn't want her to lie alone in the cold coffin on the ground for seven days. As long as there was a chance, he would dig her out as soon as possible.

After returning home, he took the time to take a nap. When Chen Shi came, there was a bad news from the palace. The imperial concubine suddenly fell ill and passed away this morning. Eunuch Xiao was asked to enter the palace immediately to help take care of her funeral.

When Xiao Chen entered, the Bixiao Palace was already completely deserted, and the sound of crying could be heard from a distance, all the empresses, noble concubines and concubines came, crying out of grief one by one, there was no need to tell the truth from the fake one by one.

But Murong Danqiu was really crying, she was very close to Duanmu Nanqiao, suddenly hearing the news of her death, she was really sad, pear blossoms were crying like rain, her eyes were red.

Xiao Chen also pretended to cry a few times when he came over, and immediately got into the mood, and began to help with the funeral affairs as the owner of the West Factory.

In other words, he is quite experienced. After all, he also participated in the whole process of the prince's funeral last time, so the command was well-organized and orderly.

When Li Wanjiang heard the bad news, he couldn't help sighing twice. My beloved concubine left me at a young age, which made me feel quite sad that a white-haired person would send a black-haired one.

It was supposed to be a grand funeral, and the whole country mourned, but since the imperial concubine left everything to be simple, let's follow her wishes.

Otherwise, she would have failed her painstaking efforts!

Tell the Ministry of Rites that I want to give her a posthumous title, among other things, my beloved concubine with the word Renming is also worthy of it...

You must know that royal funerals are extremely costly. Last time the crown prince died, he spent more than one million taels of silver in all kinds of ways. This is only a direct expense, and I'm afraid there will be more indirect expenses.

Not only burning money but also delaying many things, because the ministers in the imperial court have to come to worship in front of the spirit every day, and relatives and nobles among them have to come to watch the spirit and cry at night.

Generally speaking, a funeral of this type would take at least seven to forty-nine days. After such a tossing, not only would it not be possible to properly handle government affairs in a timely manner, but it would also make everyone exhausted.

It's okay for the young ones, but the older courtiers can't stand it, and it would be even more of a delay if they were bedridden because of it.

Duanmu Nanqiao left his last words to ask the emperor to keep everything simple, which was in line with Li Wanjiang's wishes, and of course he had to do so.

As for the cause of Duanmu Nanqiao's death, it was actually a sudden death, but it must not be said that way. The cause of death reported by the imperial physicians after consultation and discussion was accidental wind and cold, so he couldn't afford it.

Because the imperial concubine's body is very weak, and she herself has some medical skills, she also prepared some pills for invigorating the middle and nourishing qi to take all year round.

She had already felt unwell a few days ago, but she didn't notify the Tai Hospital to give her a diagnosis and treatment, but prepared some pills herself, so...

Therefore, the death of the imperial concubine was probably caused by her own negligence of her illness and taking medicine indiscriminately.

This is not important anymore, what is important is to give the world an official statement, as long as it can be justified and not so scary.

But the medicines and prescriptions she took during her lifetime must be sealed up, because these have to be shown to Uncle Guo Duanmu Nanfeng.

Li Wanjiang's brother-in-law has a special status, which is very important to Da Zhou, so he must give others an explanation.

It would be bad if my brother-in-law misunderstood that he, the emperor's brother-in-law, had harmed his sister.

Duanmu Nanfeng arrived on the second day after Nan Qiao's death. The reason why he came so quickly was because Li Wanjiang called him to Beijing a few days ago, but he unexpectedly happened to be in time for his sister's funeral. Xin Jiaoji, as soon as he arrived at the coffin, he passed out without crying out loud...

After waking up, I cried to death, knelt down before the coffin, refused to eat or drink, and no one could persuade me.

It was useless for Li Wanjiang to persuade him personally.

We all know that he only has such a sister, so it is understandable that he is so sad.

But he definitely can't go on like this, the journey is tiring, there is no water, and the grief is too much, if the body collapses, it will be very bad.

In the end it was Xiao Chen who took the initiative to ask for Ying, and went to persuade him, it was strange to say, after some persuasion by him, Duanmu Nanfeng was really willing to get up to eat, and the sadness seemed to have dissipated a lot...

Li Wanjiang thought to himself that this kid doesn't know some magic spells, right? I can't even try to persuade you in person, so why don't you just do it?

Find him and ask!

Xiao Chen said that it was actually not his own credit, but Ouyang Yunxiu, the eldest lady of the Ouyang family, who helped.

Your majesty, you must know the Ouyang family, right?

Their disciples are quite proficient in metaphysics. I wondered if she used some kind of soul-calling spell to summon the soul of the imperial concubine to persuade the uncle of the country, so the uncle of the country could barely restrain the sadness. pain.

How did the minister know Ouyang Yunxiu?

It still has to start with the encounter with a few monks from Tianzhu in the imperial mausoleum a few days ago...

If it weren't for this young lady who made the move, the ministers and others might have been killed by those bald donkeys at that time!

Of course Li Wanjiang knew about the Ouyang family. In fact, he had ordered Ouyang Shanglue, the patriarch of the Ouyang family, to come to Beijing for an audience.

Since their eldest lady is here, why don't you bring her into the palace to meet me?

Xiao Chen said in his heart that I actually brought it, but you weren't there on the day when the Emperor died.

But what he said was that the minister could not do this.

Why? Because the Ouyang family is a sect after all, and their mystical skills are said to be really mysterious.

Your majesty, you are a body of gold, how can you easily see these people from the rivers and lakes?

The son does not talk about strange powers and chaotic gods, or he respects ghosts and gods and stays away!

The minister dared to speak out, the emperor should stay away from these sects of gods, ghosts and ghosts...

It's all right to say.
