Chapter 1202 Have you ever thought of me?
Concubine Yun came to mourn Yao Xian on the fifth day after Yao Xian passed away. She won't admit that she didn't come five days ago because she doesn't want to accept the fact that Yao Xian has passed away. To her, this news was like a catastrophe, so that in the first few days, she thought that the whole Chun Palace was lying to her and joking with her. She punished several servants, trying to silence people's mouths, but the facts are the facts. After five days of tossing, Yun Pianpian had to admit that the news was true.
She came to Yao Mansion in white clothes, and when she got off the palace carriage, the common people knelt down to greet her, and they couldn't help being surprised when they saw Concubine Yun dressed like this.
That's no ordinary white dress! It is filial piety, the filial piety that only children and juniors wear. Concubine Yun is the imperial concubine, why did she wear such a dress to mourn Yao Xian?
Concubine Yun walked up to Yao Xian's spirit amidst people's doubts and guesses. She didn't even look at Emperor Tianwu who was sitting next to the coffin, and didn't take the incense candle in Yao Jingjun's hand. She just knelt down facing the coffin and tablet. , kowtowed to Yao Xian three times in full view.
These three kowtows made even Yao's family dumbfounded. The imperial concubine kowtowed to the common people, which is against the rules! Not to mention that Yao Xian doesn't even take on the position of imperial physician now,
As an ordinary citizen, even if Yao Xian is Concubine Yun's biological father, as long as she is still the imperial concubine, she cannot be knocked down.
But Concubine Yun kowtowed, and kowtowed these three heads to Yao Xian in front of everyone and Emperor Tianwu. Then without explaining, he took the incense candle and bowed three more times before inserting the incense into the incense burner.
Careful people found that during the kowtow, Concubine Yun's body was trembling slightly, as if she was enduring great grief. It felt like the Yao family was facing the death of Yao Xian. An outsider who cannot be hit by a pole.
But Zhang Yuan understands, and Emperor Tianwu also understands, they both know why Concubine Yun is doing this, and they also know that Concubine Yun came here in filial piety, because she sincerely regards herself as Yao Xian's daughter to send her father to mourn.
Emperor Tianwu wanted to talk to Concubine Yun, but just as he opened his mouth, before he could speak, Concubine Yun had already finished expressing condolences and turned around, looking like she was about to leave. He got anxious, stood up and chased for two steps, just in time to hear Concubine Yun asking Yao Jingjun: "When is Uncle Yao's burial?"
Yao Jingjun answered her: "After nine days of mourning, my father's coffin will be sent back to the ancestral grave thirty miles outside the city."
Concubine Yun nodded, "On that day, I will come over earlier to send Uncle Yao off with you."
Yao Jingjun hurriedly waved his hands: "You can't do it, you can't do it. Madam, you are a concubine, so it's unreasonable to bury your father."
Concubine Yun shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter, where did those rules come from? What's more, to me, he is my father." After she finished speaking, she didn't look at Yao Jingjun, and went straight out, but she stopped after walking a few steps , then turned around, looked at Emperor Tianwu who was staggering behind him, and said coldly: "Why are you staying here if you don't leave? Is it embarrassing?"
Emperor Tianwu was not annoyed when he heard this, so he stomped his feet and said to her depressedly: "Hey, Pianpian, do you think old boss Yao is too stubborn? I put aside my status and begged him like this, but he still doesn't like it." Ken came out to have a look at me. It just so happens that you are here, so you go and talk to him and tell him not to lose his temper and come out and have a drink with me."
Concubine Yun frowned at him, with anger on her face, she said: "Xuan Zhan, instead of deceiving yourself and others like this, you should cheer up and help your sons heal the world. We should leave a bright future for the children instead of the current mess. You are like this. When you encounter problems, you never take the initiative to think of a solution, but just avoid and shrink back. You feel that if you don't face it, Can you just pretend that nothing happened? Just like now, do you think that as long as you don't admit it, Yao Xian is still alive? Can he come back to life? Don't be naive, at your age, you don't have the capital to be naive anymore. Xuan Yao Xian is dead, you will have such a day sooner or later, and so will I. None of us can escape these ruthless years. So, why can't we do more good things while we are still alive? Leave more useful things for our children what about?"
Emperor Tianwu was stunned, Concubine Yun's words were replaying in his mind repeatedly, each word hit his most fragile nerve, and it hurt deeply. When she came back to her senses, Concubine Yun had already walked a long way and was about to get on the palace carriage at the gate of the mansion.
He turned his head to look at Yao Xian's spirit seat, and finally tears flowed from his eyes, which he couldn't stop.
Emperor Tianwu didn't go after Concubine Yun for the first time,
He turned back and walked back to the mourning hall, this time he didn't ask Yao Xian to come out for a drink, but took the incense candle himself, and put incense on Yao Xian seriously, that's all, he said to the spiritual tablet: "Old Yao! I can't be here with you anymore. Pianpian is right. You shouldn't leave a mess to the children. It's not easy for them. I am the one who should take the greatest responsibility for this country, so I have to go back. You also said before However, I can't be self-willed because I'm old, and I can't rely on how many sons I have. I am the one who sits on the emperor's throne. I can't shirk the responsibility of this world. Old Yao! Huangquan Road Go slowly, wait for me. The woman Yun Pianpian said, we will have such a day sooner or later, I guess I will be there soon, just wait for me, and then we can have another two drinks in the ground. "After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Xuan Tianfeng, and said again: "Feng'er, you rest first, and wait for the father to sort out the Dashun, and I will hand it over to you after everything is sorted out."
Emperor Tianwu finally returned to the palace, and even took all the princes with him. After the Yao family experienced this incident, more people came to mourn Yao Xian. Even people who have never been ill before and have not received favors from the Yao family rushed here, just to get a taste of the emperor's air. Even the emperor himself came to condolences, why don't the people come?
There was a big funeral in Yao's Mansion, and Lian's Mansion, which was just across the wall from Yao's Mansion, was also holding funerals. The funeral in Yao's Mansion was sensational, while the funeral in Lian's Mansion lasted for a long time. After Feng Zhaolian left, Wu Lisheng immediately carved a spiritual tablet, placed incense candles, and even prepared the coffin. Now that the mourning hall is set up and the spirit banner is carried, she herself stays in the mourning hall all day, either burning paper money or arranging Feng Zhaolian's previous clothes.
The occasional cries from Yao's mansion made her mourn even more, and she leaned against the empty coffin and wept non-stop. The servant girl persuaded her earnestly, "Miss, don't do this, Your Highness is fine, why do you bother yourself like this? You haven't slept for two days and two nights, what should you do if your body is broken? If you continue like this, His Highness will be back. You yourself fell ill, and you can't look down on His Highness even more, wouldn't you regret it?"
Wu Lisheng laughed at her and said: "What good things are you thinking? Can he come back? Let me tell you, Feng Zhaolian will never come back after this trip. What do you think she is going to do? Chasing the Seventh Prince? No, He was looking for Duanmu Anguo to seek revenge. But Duanmu Anguo's old thief is not so easy to deal with. If Feng Zhaolian doesn't fight him to the death, he won't hurt him at all. This spirit was not set early. If you believe me, then Let me tell you, Feng Zhaolian died many days ago."
The little maid didn't believe it, "Miss said that when Qian Zhou harmed His Highness like that, His Highness was still alive, so this servant didn't believe that he would die. Didn't it mean that His Highness is a thousand years old? Miss should believe that His Highness can come back and remove this mourning hall." , live well, and guard this mansion for His Highness, and you will have to live well when he comes back!"
"What a silly girl." Wu Lisheng shook her head and sighed softly, "I'll just wait here. When His Royal Highness and Princess Yu return to Beijing, they will definitely bring him back. Either a corpse or ashes." Thinking about it, he analyzed it self-containedly and said: "It should be ashes. It is impossible to preserve the body after such a long journey and such a long time. It must be ashes." After finishing speaking, he looked at the ashes he had prepared. The coffin said with some regret: "It was a waste of money to buy this coffin. If it was just a handful of ashes, it would be useless. Anyway, the ashes are convenient, and I will take him back to the north at that time." He likes the glacier in the northern boundary the most, so he will be buried under the glacier, and I will accompany him, and if we agree to go to Baitou, we will accompany him until Baitou."
After Wu Lisheng finished speaking, she stood up, walked steadily to Feng Zhaolian's tablet, and murmured again: "Your Highness, the doctor Yao next door died, Princess Yu must be very sad. I am also sad, without you , What is the meaning of my life? Your Highness, Li Sheng has no regrets, nor regrets, but Li Sheng just wants to know, did you think of me when you closed your eyes? Even if it was just for a moment... ..."
Yao Xian passed away, and Xiang Rong, who was far away in Ji'an County, still heard the news. The news came when Yao Xian was seriously ill, Xuan Tianyi was the first to hear about it, after much deliberation, he still told Xiang Rong who was also sick.
After Xiangrong heard about it, she immediately decided to leave for Beijing, but the journey was far away, plus she was still ill, it would take half a month to get to the capital no matter how fast she traveled. In the past half month, the Yao family has already been organizing the funeral.
Xiang Rong calculated that he would not be able to arrive in Beijing before Yao Xian's coffin, and felt very uncomfortable. This time, Xuan Tianyi and An Shi came back with her, even bringing Bai Furong in the carriage. She coughed all the way, and when it was the worst, she even coughed up bloodshot eyes. An's heart ached, she always wiped her tears secretly, Xiang Rong didn't know how to persuade her when she saw it, so she could only hold An's hand and comfort her silently.
No one can diagnose her illness, but she is finally awake, and she is not always in a coma like before. But when she was sober, her condition was still not good, and sometimes Xuan Tianyi was afraid, so she would guard her yard night after night, for fear that this girl would suddenly disappear from this world. An Shi persuaded Xiangrong several times to let her see how good the Fourth Prince is. Since she has already rejected the Seventh Prince, she might as well look at the person who is obsessed with her.
But Xiangrong also said that when I was well, I did not give hope to Fourth Highness, and now that I am sick like this, I should not burden others.
