Zhu Feng turned to look at him: "What's the matter, so anxious?"
Xiao Shunzi said out of breath, "Duke, you have entered Beijing."
"Um?"
Zhu Feng frowned, Nan Yan also raised his head, and the two subconsciously looked at each other, but Nan Yan immediately buried her face.
Zhu Feng said: "Didn't the Duke leave Beijing a while ago? Why did he come back suddenly?"
Xiao Shunzi said: "I heard that the Duke knew about the affairs in the palace, so he rushed to attend the funeral for the little princess."
"... funeral?"
Zhu Feng's heart sank slightly.
As for Nan Yan who was sitting beside him, his breathing became even lighter, and all the voices in the entire Yikun Palace suddenly lost their voices.
In fact, when they woke up early in the morning, both of them were thinking about this matter.
The funeral of the little princess.
The coffin of the little princess is still in the Taimiao, and today is the day when her coffin will be sent to the imperial mausoleum.
Although everyone called her "little princess", everyone knew that she was born as a dead baby and didn't have any titles. In this way, it was regarded as extremely ominous. As the emperor, Zhu Feng was definitely not You can go to the funeral for such a child.
And the little princess's mother, Feng Qianyan, has already been executed, and her mother's family has been convicted one after another, so her funeral should not be a major event.
Zhu Feng just asked Eunuch Yu and the others to do it.
Unexpectedly, the Duke of the State came back to attend the funeral of the little princess when he found out about it.
Zhu Feng couldn't go, but the officials could still go. There was even news early in the morning that He Yi took some officials to see him off.
Xiao Shunzi said softly again: "Concubine Hui and the others have also passed."
"..."
When Nan Yan heard it, her breath sank again.
But Zhu Feng was silent, only a faint gleam in his eyes.
Nan Yan thought for a while, then said softly: "The emperor should not come out today, but as a noble concubine, I should go and have a look at this time."
Zhu Feng looked up at her: "You want to go there?"
"Yes."
"You don't need to come forward for this matter."
"Feng Qianyan's incident was caused by my concubine after all, so I should go and have a look."
"But your body—"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the concubine is already much better."
Hearing what she said, Zhu Feng was still a little hesitant, but Nan Yan had already got up and knelt down to him: "Please give me your permission."
"..."
Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng finally only sighed softly, and then said: "Then you promise me, go and have a look and come back, don't-worry too much."
Hearing these words, Nan Yan's heart moved slightly.
But she still said immediately: "The concubine obeys the order."
After she finished speaking, she asked someone to clean up immediately. Zhu Feng told Ran Xiaoyu and the others to follow her properly, and then she went back to the imperial study. Clothes, then went to Taimiao.
Along the way, I felt the cold wind howling.
Fortunately, the Taimiao was not far from the imperial palace, and the carriage stopped shortly after it left. Before Nan Yan could reach out and open the curtains, the curtains were blown up by a gust of wind.
Nan Yan saw the flags fluttering on the walls on both sides of the Taimiao at a glance, hunting in the wind.
There are also neatly lined up guards outside.
If I remember correctly, they were all soldiers brought by General Xu Shifeng.
This place was originally a quiet and solemn place, but in the wind, there were some human voices mixed in, and it sounded bad, as if they were arguing about something.
Ran Xiaoyu and the others had already got out of the carriage, and supported Nan Yan to go down as well.
As soon as he stood still, he saw a smooth and clean avenue under his feet. It was cleaned spotlessly, and it was as white as a white train, leading straight ahead.
The coffin of the little princess is parked in the side hall on the left side ahead.
At the door of the side hall, a group of people were standing.
The dispute in the wind just heard seems to be what they are talking about.
Ran Xiaoyu craned his neck to take a look, then said, "It's Duke Cheng, and some court officials."
"oh?"
Nan Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
The first time she saw it, she saw a man in white clothes, with a graceful body and a feeling of being exiled from the crowd.
"Is that—?" she asked.
The person turned his back to them, Ran Xiaoyu felt familiar, looked carefully for a long time, and then said softly: "It's Lord Heyi?"
"oh?"
Everyone around was startled.
Ever since He Yi joined Zhu Feng as an official, they all saw him dressed in official clothes, with a mature and dignified appearance, and almost everyone had forgotten his identity before he became an official.
Today, however, he was wearing a snow-white long robe, with a sense of ecstasy in its splendor. This was a dress he hadn't worn in a long time, but it shocked Nan Yan's mind.
Suddenly, it seems to be back to the beginning.
Nan Yan was silent for a moment before saying, "Go and see."
"yes."
Ran Xiaoyu supported her, followed by Aunt Tongyun and Nianqiu, Tingfu and the others opened the way ahead, and they reached the gate of the side hall after a while.
Here, it was Duke Cheng Wu Yingqiu and He Yi standing face to face.
Behind each of them, there are some officials who are close to each of them, and they are all talking about something.
He Yi smiled and said, "Unexpectedly, the Duke is also back."
Cheng Guogong Wu Yingqiu looked at the fairy-like crane clothes in front of him, and said with a smile: "I have heard about the important events in the palace, so I have already arrived in Henan, and I hurried back. I didn't expect to meet the crane clothes here." Master Yi."
He Yi smiled and said: "I am here specially to see off Her Highness the Princess."
Wu Yingqiu said, "That's right, just right."
"..."
"The old man also rushed back to see off Her Royal Highness."
"..."
"Let the old man go in first, and offer a stick of incense to the princess."
As he said that, he wanted to go inside.
But just as he was about to lift his feet, he saw the figure of He Yi walking away, and suddenly blocked in front of him, only smiling, and Wu Yingqiu also kept smiling, but in those old eyes, there was There was a cold light: "Master Heyi, why, are you unwilling to let the old man in?"
He Yi smiled and said, "How dare you."
"..."
"It's just that the time is almost here. If the Duke wants to go in again, he may miss the time for the little princess to wake up."
"The old man is just offering a stick of incense, it will be soon."
"But the time is of the essence."
"Master Crane!"
Speaking of this, Wu Yingqiu's face darkened, and he said coldly: "You have repeatedly obstructed me, why, are you not letting the old man go in to offer incense for the little princess?"
"This—how dare you."
He Yi only smiled, but he didn't let his footsteps move at all.
But at this time, Concubine Hui Wu Wan's cold voice came from beside her: "Then you still get out of the way!"
