On the last day of May, the Holy Spirit died.
The death of the Holy Spirit was very sudden, suddenly to the Tai Fu House, Wei Chang Ying dismissed the idlers, and even the second son Shen Shuxie, who is still not very good at talking and walking, did not stay behind, and is talking with the dusty Qin Ge, Yan Ge, discussing how to send Ying Ge this is the Wei family's "Biwu" in the training with Qin Ge, but not similar to Qin Ge and other people with ordinary appearance, but born of a delicate and charming into the palace. "in the Wei family" Biwu "together with the qin ge, but not like the qin ge and other people look normal, but born a delicate and charming female dead sent to the palace exams.
When he heard someone violating his command not to disturb him and banging on the door, Wei Changying thought something had happened to his two sons and stood up to call someone in, but he didn't want to hear Huang's voice change before she crossed the threshold "His Holiness has died!"
Wei Changying, Qin Ge, Yan Ge and the veiled Ying Ge were stunned to the point of being dumbfounded!
Wei Yu was executed with minced meat, and the Wei family was disgraced.
Although it was said that the scholars were sympathetic to the Wei family's unluckiness when they were faced with a dim king like the saint, the face that was lost as a result of this couldn't just be ignored couldn't it be that the Wei family hadn't suffered enough in the past few years? Of course, what to do publicly is certainly not.
Since Wei Huan's ankle was still not fully healed at this time, Elder Lady Song and Wei Zheng Hong's mother and son thought about it and sent Qin Ge and Yan Ge, who had served Wei Chang Ying before, to accompany Qing Ge, who had been selected from the dead soldiers, to try to send Ying Ge to the palace to wait for His Majesty to go on the road soon through Wei Chang Ying.
Only earlier did the women discuss which state or county they would like to fake Inge's place in the palace ......
But I did not expect, this thing is actually so ...... Wei Chang Ying shocked, the heart messy, surprisingly, the first thought Wei Xin Yong "Hoped that our Wei family members are this can not personally revenge life?"
After calming down, Wei Changying asked about the circumstances of the death of His Majesty, but Huang didn't know much it was said that His Majesty died suddenly while summoning Zhong Xiaoyi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and that he died with blood flowing from his seven orifices, which was clearly poisoned. However, the doctor put Zhong Xiaoyi whole body checked all over, even jewelry in the beads and flowers are dismantled to see, jade bracelet bracelet a kind of inch by inch to knock over, also can not find out what contains poison.
In this case, of course, Zhong Xiaoyi is a loud cry of injustice, and even suspected that there are other people with chronic drug murder of His Majesty, deliberately lured himself to come to take the blame. As for the point that the emperor summoned her because she asked for an audience first, Zhong Xiaoyi contemptuously said "As a concubine, I should serve the emperor, what's so strange about asking for an audience with the emperor? His Majesty did not order my concubine not to seek an audience without a call!"
In short she refused to admit anything!
Later, Prince Shen Bo arrived, stroking the remains of the saint cried, commanded to punish Zhong Xiaoyi, Zhong Xiaoyi simply learned Huo Shenyuan to touch the pillar to kill himself ...... and her followers of the palace that is a question of the three do not know because it is said that from the majority of months ago, Zhong Xiaoyi on the pretext of the mind The reason for this is that Zhong Xiaoyi is said to have moved to a faraway place on the pretext that she was in a bad mood and was living alone.
Because of the newcomers into the palace one after another, Zhong Xiaoyi's favor is not as big as before, so the palace people are far less attentive than before, but happy to relax. This half month Zhong Xiaoyi have happened some things, and with whom private dealings, in addition to Zhong Xiaoyi himself is afraid that no one knows so this matter is a little bit can not be investigated.
What's more, the dynasty and the countryside, including the crown prince, from the bottom of their hearts, expect the emperor to die has wanted to go crazy ......
Therefore, once Zhong Xiaoyi died, some people casually put up a folding paper to indicate that what happened is "Xiaoyi Zhong's because of the newcomer to the palace, favor, and thus love begets hate, so as to regicide"...... Zhong Xiaoyi is not from a prestigious family, and the scholars are certainly very favorable to her to take the blame. very much in favor.
The crown prince cried while remembering the saint, oh, now the late emperor, and after remembering certain redeeming qualities of the late emperor that God knows whether he did or did not have, he just accepted it so lightly.
The late emperor died, the new king ascended the throne, the former to offer condolences how to say that Wei is not dead, the late emperor is no longer good, the subjects of the righteousness to do; the latter need to celebrate, although the Wei almost almost, do a day of Wei ministers to do a day of loyalty it.
So all the people first changed the mourning clothes into the palace to cry, according to the rules of Wei, the courtiers into the palace, the Prince in front of the spirit of the seat, the next day on the opening of a number of days have not opened the main hall of the great dynasty, held the ceremony of enthronement although the Harem has not been Kung Fu sealed, but the new king to assume the position of the civil and military officials can not be dressed in mourning clothes on the court, and to go to change the uniforms to congratulate the king.
After the congratulations, and then continue to cry. According to the rules is to cry for seven days, this time in June heat, cicadas chirping mania, blazing sun, extraordinary sad. Even though the temple shelved full of ice, and in the side hall put a lot of cool soup drinks, but qualified to enter the palace to cry, which is not the body is expensive?
With all this fuss, almost every household, from the hundred officials to the women, has put down someone.
For example, in the House of Fu, Mrs. Su and six daughter-in-law Huo Qingling only cried to the next day, they fell ill together. The former because of a bit of age, and not like Shen Xuan military generals, long years of martial arts, can still support; the latter fell ill because it is expected, Huo Shenyuan buried not yet a few days, Mrs. Gu this time to cry and even still can not get up, to sister-in-law and the Palace of the sin, Huo Qingling has been sickly, can last a day or two has been very good.
Because too many people are tired and sick, the new king passed a decree of grace, so that the younger among the grants stayed to cry for seven days, and the older grants could go back to their homes to mourn.
In this case, Wei Chang Ying and Pei Meiniang were the ones who were left behind by the Shen family to answer the call of duty.
This is not the husband's family to bully them, Liu's and Duanmu's age to say not light, say not young it is also only the early thirties. But Mrs. Su and Huo Qingling fell ill, the fifth daughter-in-law Su Yuyin is far away in the Western Liang, the large Tai Fu House can not be no one to preside over it? Of course, Liu's one person can manage over, but Mrs. Su taking into account that there are three young grandchildren at home, can not no longer add an elder to look at the point Shen Zang Ning that aunt to take care of nephews certainly no one can rest assured that at this point she is not as reliable as Shen Shujing it.
Therefore, Mrs. Su reported another heatstroke to Duanmu Yanyu, so that she could stay home to watch the children ...... Of course Pei Meiniang can also watch the children, the question who called her the eldest daughter-in-law of Xiangning Bo's house?
So the two sisters-in-law can only secretly sigh bad luck, pinched Huang's overnight made out of the medicine bag, kneeling in the temple followed the few people have a cry without a sound.
This is a long time to cry naturally uninteresting tight after all, I'm afraid that in addition to Deng Guifei and other concubines on this hall, there is no sincere for the late emperor's great line of sadness ...... Wei Changying cried lack of to look at the slash Duanmu Xinmiao, thought to quietly move over and ask her if there are any medicines and so on, can temporarily hide a lazy good. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money to pay for the services of the company, and you will be able to get a good deal of money to pay for the services of the company.
But back then, Deng Guifei threaded the needle, so that Duanmu Xinmiao went to Xiliang to cure Shen Zangfeng that time, up to heaven. Later, Duanmu Xinmiao returned to the imperial capital, the saint sealed her a county ruler. Then now she can only come over together to kneel ...... Instead, Duanmu Xinmiao's sister, Duanmu Weimiao, the saint's first daughter-in-law, Empress Dowager Cai Wang, fainted decisively on the way back to the royal residence after the end of the weeping yesterday, and was sympathetically treated by the new ruler, and didn't have to come this day.
However, when Wei Changying took a look, he happened to see Duanmu Xinmiao's back, and it was she who got up and walked out, looking as if she was going to change her clothes.
Wei Changying was feeling tired after kneeling for a long time, so she was overjoyed at the sight of the situation, wondering why she hadn't thought of this good way to be lazy. She asked Pei Meiniang in a low voice, "Meiniang, do you want to change? I saw sister Xinmiao go."
Pei Meiniang wiped her eyes while wrapping the medicine capsule in a handkerchief and whispered, "I can still hold out this time, I'll go back when I can't hold out any longer."
"I'm going to get some air." Wei Changying felt that there might not be any benefit in going after him at this time, so he got up.
...... She was careful to avoid many of the women, along the corner of the wall into the side of the hall, look around, but did not see the shadow of the Duanmu core Miao, tried to shout a few times toward the screen behind the people did not hear people answer, so I went over to see, only to see the clothes of all the things on display, but it is empty without a person.
Seeing this, Wei Changying felt a little strange in his heart. Upon closer inspection, he saw that there was a small door leading from the side hall to the harem.
Wei Changying hesitated, first returned to the door when he came in and looked at it, seeing that no one was going to come in for the time being, so he tiptoed to the small door, quietly opened it, and took a look outside it was a not too big and not too small courtyard, with a lot of flowers and grasses planted, and it was in full bloom at the moment.
The white mourning clothes were hard to find inside the dense green and light blue, but with Wei Changying's eyesight, he still saw a few traces of grass and leaves being swept by the train of the skirt.
She was suspicious it seems that Duanmu Xinmiao is really just walked from here, just the light of this crying spirit, temporarily leave a moment is permitted, long time to leave is a loss of courtesy. Now the new king just ascended to the throne, or the clan up, this face always have to give Shen Bo's right?
Duanmu Xinmiao is by no means an unintelligent person, and there must be a reason for her to do so just this reason, was it prepared when she left the main hall of the weeping spirit, or was it by chance that she entered this side hall?
After thinking for a moment, Wei Changying lifted the hem of her skirt and quickly chased after the trail of flowers and leaves.
Regardless of whether Duanmu Xinmiao had walked away from here intentionally or by chance, she had obviously left in such a hurry that she had left her mourning attire trailing and sweeping many blades of grass and flowers along the way. Following these traces, Wei Changying easily found her next to a rockery.
Originally, she wanted to go straight up and ask what was going on, but when she was about to say hello, she was surprised to find that Duanmu Xinmiao wasn't alone by the wigwam, but there was another plain-clothed courtesan who looked a little familiar in profile.
Wei Changying recalled that the first time she entered the palace, it was on Princess Linchuan's birthday, and she was having a banquet in the Changle Palace. The palace maid who was sent to serve her was the one who was meeting with Duanmu Xinmiao in private at the moment. It was several years ago, Wei Changying could not recall the name of this court lady, but she and Duanmu Xinmiao were a bit sneaky, so she stopped her voice, took two steps back, and hid behind a tree to watch.
In the middle of summer, the palace people less travel, coupled with the late emperor's great line soon, are busy for the funeral ceremony. At the moment this place is very quiet, bursts of cicadas more and more seem to be empty and secluded.
After Wei Changying held his breath, he was able to occasionally hear a few words floating around, "...... Here it is." The court lady took out a bulging object from her sleeve, and she didn't know what was in it, anyway, she had a scornful look on her face, and held it carefully, eager to throw it away and not quite daring to do so.
"Quickly give me ......" Instead, Duanmu Xinmiao obviously attached great importance to this object, and busily took it and hurriedly hid it in his arms.
"...... wrapped in a pad ...... is really okay?" Something was given, but that courtier was still not too assured, and asked with great concern.
"Don't worry ...... there is no hatred ......" Duanmu Xinmiao got the things, looked a lot more relaxed, lightly said a few words, turned around to go.
That courtesan seemed to be relieved and seemed to still be a little worried, but seeing this scene, she suddenly realized that there were still words left unsaid, and busily ran to her to stop her, saying, "That Deng Gongzi?"
At this time, because he had taken a few steps towards Wei Changying's side, he could hear more clearly.
But I heard Duanmu Xinmiao say carelessly, "Where is something so subtle, I made it up to coax your Niangniang."
"......!" That courtesan was clearly choked by her shamelessness and stood there at a complete loss as to what to say!
Duanmu Xinmiao, on the other hand, was content to cross over to her and head off!
