Qi State.
Today is the day of Cheng Zheng's funeral. No matter how unwilling Zhao Rao is to accept the truth, no matter how reluctant he is to let go, it still cannot change the reality. The man she loved most is dead, leaving her to face all the monsters and monsters alone.
"Your Majesty." A soft voice came, and Zhao Xiang walked lightly into the dormitory from outside, "The time has come."
Zhao Rao organized the funeral for Cheng Zheng as his wife, and she was needed for the final burial in the coffin.
"Is there any news from Jin State?" Zhao Rao asked.
"There is no reply yet." Zhao Xiang whispered, walking over to tidy up Zhao Rao's hair, "No matter what Jin Guo's reply is, Jin Guo cannot tolerate Lu Yaoyao."
Zhao Rao squeezed the comb in his hand tightly, "I must see Lu Yaoyao die in front of me."
"My sister sent someone to find out where Lu Yaoyao has been in the past four years." Zhao Xiang said. She knew that Zhao Rao hated Lu Yaoyao. However, Lu Yaoyao was able to kill Cheng Zheng so easily, which shows her martial arts skills. It was so powerful, unless she was not the one who took action that night, but besides her and Mo Rongzhan, who else was hiding behind it?
She had already confirmed that Murong Zhan was escorting Zhao Ning out of the city that night, so it could not be Murong Zhan who killed Cheng Zheng.
Zhao Rao saw Cheng Zheng killed by Lu Yaoyao with her own eyes, so she was really curious about where Lu Yaoyao's martial arts came from? Why could she kill Cheng Zheng?
"The rumor is that she and Mo Rongzhan went to sea." Zhao Rao wanted to know which sea they went to. Seven years ago, Lu Yaoyao went to sea for two years and brought back 100,000 elite soldiers, killing Dongqing Kingdom. She left no trace behind, founded the Yuan Kingdom, became the first empress in history, and proclaimed herself the Concubine of Heaven. Four years ago, she and Mo Rongzhan disappeared with their son. Everyone thought they must be dead. , even the emperor of Jin Kingdom was changed. Who knows, they just showed up and killed Cheng Zheng.
"Going to sea was just an excuse. No one saw Lu Yaoyao and the others going to sea back then," Zhao Xiang said.
Zhao Rao said coldly, "Whether we go to sea or not, in short, I will not let Lu Yaoyao go. If I can't kill her, then I will deal with the people around her. She can protect only a few of them." "
"Your Majesty, it's time to set off." Zhao Xiang reminded.
They were still going to see Cheng Zheng off. Although Zhao Xiang didn't like Cheng Zheng before, she didn't want to dwell on the past because the deceased was the most important person.
Zhao Rao's hand shook. She held Zhao Xiang's arm and walked step by step to the mourning hall. Everyone was waiting for her words.
The cold wind was biting, and the plain palace was immersed in silent sadness. Zhao Rao stood in front of the coffin. She did not look at Cheng Zheng for the last time, and she could not wake up after looking at him. She would always remember the moment he fell in front of her. This scene, **** every night, reminds her all the time that she must seek revenge on Lu Yaoyao.
"Put it in the coffin." Zhao Rao whispered. She had lost a lot of weight recently and stood upright in the cold wind, showing a bit of desolate coldness.
Seeing them carrying Cheng Zheng's body and placing it in the coffin, Zhao Rao's eyes were frighteningly red, but not a single tear fell.
At Zhao Rao's insistence, Cheng Zheng's coffin will still be placed in the imperial mausoleum. It will not be moved out until Zhao Rao's own mausoleum is built. It will be buried with her a hundred years later, because all the ministers who objected have been After being demoted, the opposition voices in the court were almost no longer heard.
The desolate mourning song sounded, and Cheng Zheng's coffin was gradually sent out of the palace.
"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, a sharp shout came, and neat horse steps appeared in unison. Hundreds of soldiers blocked the front of the funeral procession. "Cheng Zheng must not be buried in the imperial mausoleum! Zhao Rao, our Zhao family has been in existence for hundreds of years. There has never been anyone other than the royal family in the imperial mausoleum, and you cannot violate the ancestral precepts."
"Zhao Lan, what do you want to do?" Zhao Rao's voice became colder, and he looked at Zhao Lan standing in front of him with a serious look.
In addition to Zhao Lan, there were three consorts with their soldiers blocking the palace gate.
Song Hongao strode out and frowned at Zhao Lan and the third prince-in-law, "Third princess, third prince-in-law, you are not allowed to bring troops into the palace. Are you trying to force the palace?"
"We don't want to do this, but Zhao Rao is unfaithful and unjust, and now he has done such a treasonous thing. As a princess and the sister of the fifth prince, she must bring order to the chaos so that she can still look good to her father when she meets him in the future. "Zhao Lan shouted in a clear voice.
"Rebellious and unethical?" Zhao Rao chuckled, "Aren't you treasonous and unethical now?"
Zhao Lan said, "I am here today for the sake of the Zhao family's orthodoxy!"
"Orthodox?" Zhao Rao raised his lips and smiled slightly, looking coldly at the hundreds of soldiers with swords, "It seems that in addition to these domestic soldiers, there should be many elite soldiers surrounding the city."
"Those are all former loyal ministers of my father, Zhao Rao. You were bewitched by Cheng Zheng before. As long as you hand over the throne, you will still be the eldest princess of Qi." Zhao Lan said.
The third prince-in-law then said, "Yes, the fifth prince is the real emperor. He is the prince bestowed by the late emperor. You should not be like Si Chen. Two years after you took the throne, how many ministers in the court really respect you as the emperor? You If you don’t believe me, ask other ministers if they sincerely worship you.”
Zhao Rao raised his lips and smiled, then raised his eyes to look at the minister behind him, "Really? Is that what you think?"
"You don't have to be afraid of her anymore. She is just a woman who relied on Cheng Zheng to get where she is today. Cheng Zheng is dead and no one can threaten you anymore. General Huo's troops are outside the city. As long as Zhao Rao dares to use his troops, They will break into the city immediately." Zhao Lan said loudly, trying to persuade the ministers to rebel against Zhao Rao.
"I'm really curious, who gave you the guts and courage to say these words here." Zhao Rao smiled lightly, not afraid that Zhao Lan would instigate the ministers in the court.
Zhao Lan ignored Zhao Rao's words and still said to the ministers, "The fifth prince is the real emperor. As long as you are loyal to him, he will definitely protect your glory and wealth in the future."
The sword in the hand of the Third Prince Consort was pointed at Zhao Rao, "Or do you want to be a rebel and let this witch harm our country?"
"Marquis of Zhenguo, the late Emperor treated you well, are you going to violate the late Emperor's last wish and help the tyrants to commit evil?" Zhao Lan turned her eyes to Song Hongao.
"The late emperor once said when he was alive." Song Hongao said calmly, "The eldest princess has her own style and is the hope of Qi's future."
It is well known that Song Hongao was a confidant of the late emperor. Since he said this, it proves that the late emperor must have said this. The late emperor once believed that Zhao Rao had the ability to govern the country.
Zhao Lan's expression changed, especially those ministers who didn't move at all. They obviously didn't intend to share the same hatred with her, "Song Hongao, what did Zhao Rao bribe you with? Where was your backbone when you resigned?"
"What I did was all for the sake of Qi State." Song Hongao said lightly.
"Okay, okay! Then don't blame me for not giving you a choice." Zhao Lan sneered. The grudge between her mother-in-law and her brother was finally settled with Zhao Rao today.
