Nan Yandao: "Add more people to guard, don't let anyone get close to the coffin of the little princess."
He Yi froze for a moment: "Huh?"
As the chief assistant of the cabinet and half of the prime minister before, he is very clear about court etiquette.
Although the death of the little princess is a big event, but this little princess died at birth, and she didn't have any title. In addition, her mother is now a criminal woman, and she wasn't even thrown into the cold palace. She was sent directly to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and then the emperor was still alive. In this case, her funeral cannot be held in a big way.
Why did the imperial concubine ask for additional manpower
He hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, is there anything to worry about?"
"..."
Nan Yan couldn't explain this matter clearly for a while, although everyone present could believe it, but the outside didn't know if the wall had ears, so she could only say: "In short, just follow the instructions of the palace."
"… yes."
He Yi probably sensed something from the tangled eyes in her eyes, so he didn't ask any more questions, and responded directly.
Then he said: "Then, I will take my leave first."
After speaking, he backed out.
As soon as he left, Eunuch Yu who stayed behind seemed to feel that he was a little redundant, and said softly: "Then, the imperial concubine and the emperor will rest first, and the slaves and maids will wait outside with people. If there is any order, the empress can just call people." That's right."
Said, also want to leave.
As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Ran Xiaoyu still standing by the bed, so he whispered to her again: "Miss Yu, why don't you come out quickly, do you really want to be beheaded?"
"..."
Ran Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, looked at him and then at Nanyan.
At this time, Nan Yan couldn't help feeling that the situation was over.
He could only sigh helplessly: "You go out first, I will call you if there is anything, so you should listen to me."
"yes."
Ran Xiaoyu also backed out, but was pulled outside by Eunuch Yu, and then the door was closed.
After they were all gone, Nan Yan lowered her head again and looked at the person in her arms.
He, it's really a place.
The whole person was lying on the bed, with his head just in his arms, and his hands wrapped around his waist. He was already warm and not afraid of the cold, so holding himself at this time, even if he didn't cover himself with a quilt, was like hugging a The stove is very comfortable.
Nan Yan sighed again, and could only pull out a thinner blanket from the bed, put it on him, and lay helplessly on the head of the bed, half-closed her eyes.
The person who fell into her arms, who didn't know whether it was because of the warmth or the comfort, slightly pursed the corners of his mouth that had been tense before.

By this time, the sky was already bright.
Xiao Shunzi followed He Yi, and hurried back the same way. There was already a commotion in the classroom, and some ministers who were waiting outside also came here, asking what was going on.
In the past few years since he took the throne, Zhu Feng has seldom left people in the early court like this.
Of course, it is not without precedent.
The last time was shortly after conferring the imperial concubine, she stayed in Yikun Palace.
But soon everyone found out that something happened in Jianfu Palace last night. Concubine Ning gave birth to a dead baby, and she was also found out for several crimes. Now, she has been thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
No wonder no one saw Minister Honglu Si early this morning.
Originally, a few days ago, because Concubine Ning was favored and conceived a dragon son, this minister of Honglu Temple was extremely proud, and many ministers in the court also flattered and flattered him, which made him want to It's skyrocketing.
However, when something happened today, no one even asked about his whereabouts.
Everyone just whispered about other things.
And everyone's eyes slowly focused on another person.
At this time, He Yi walked up to the crowd and said to them: "Everyone, because the little princess died, the emperor is in great grief, and the court is over today, you should go back and do your own business first."
Everyone said: "Yes."
After saluting, everyone prepared to retreat, and many people walked towards Gu Tingqiu at the same pace.
Everyone said: "Master Gu."
Gu Tingqiu also got some news early in the morning. At this time, while being shocked, he naturally thought of something, but before he could think about it slowly, many people surrounded him.
"Master Gu, I haven't been close to Mr. Gu for a long time."
"That's right, Mr. Gu. Your lord looks haggard recently. It seems that he is worried about the government affairs. You should take a good rest."
"Xiaguan has prepared bouillon at the mansion, Mr. Gu, please show me your face."
…
Hearing these people's words, Gu Tingqiu was a little dizzy for a while, but fortunately at this time, He Yi's voice came from behind: "Master Gu, stay a step."
As soon as they heard him speak, everyone immediately fell silent.
Gu Tingqiu hurriedly turned back: "Master Heyi."
He Yi said: "I still have something to discuss with Mr. Gu, you should go back first."
Everyone had no choice but to back down obediently, Gu Tingqiu was relieved, turned his head to look at He Yi who was smiling but said: "Thank you, Mr. He Yi."
He Yi also smiled: "Where is it?"
A few days ago, when the imperial concubine fell out of favor, although Zhu Feng did not belittle Gu Tingqiu and his disciples because of this, these people still wished to stay away from him in the early court. Now, when they see Concubine Ning collapsed, they also know The imperial concubine was about to rise, and immediately changed her face.
It can be seen that the world is hot and cold.
Gu Tingqiu said again: "I don't know what is the important thing that Mr. Heyi called to stop me?"
He Yi said: "Originally the imperial concubine told me to go down to do some important things, because I am the chief assistant of the cabinet, so I want to inform everyone that the cabinet is temporarily closed today. But, I didn't see General Xu and Master Wu."
"General Xu?"
Gu Tingqiu thought for a while and said, "I saw General Xu leave early in the morning."
"Is there a problem?"
"I heard that it was the empress's order that the little princess's funeral should be arranged in the Taimiao, but it should not be too deserted, and I was worried that someone would disturb it, so I asked General Xu to send troops to surround the Taimiao and not allow anyone to enter the Taimiao. step."
"oh?"
He Yi froze for a moment, but immediately came back to his senses.
Queen... so fast.
Although this empress seemed to be silent, she was the daughter of a general, and she was not slow to react when encountering such a thing.
He said: "If this is the case, then I will save trouble."
Hearing his words, Gu Tingqiu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him: "Why, this is what the imperial concubine told Mrs. Heyi to do?"
He Yi nodded.
The expression on Gu Tingqiu's face became more dignified.
He took a step forward, leaned in front of He Yi, and said in a deep voice: "Apart from Concubine Ning and the little princess, is there anything else?"
