Chapter 448: Funeral Day

Eunuch Fu has been in the palace for thirty-two years since he entered the palace at the age of five. Eunuch Fu is very popular, and he has always taken care of the maids and eunuchs below him. Of course, those who can survive in the palace cannot be truly good people.

Looking at Eunuch Fu kneeling on the ground, Yuchen asked: "Say, who told you to murder the emperor?" In fact, Yuchen had a rough idea of ​​the murderer behind the scenes, and it was nothing more than a few people. Among them, Shu Yan Wushuang is the most suspected.

Eunuch Fu had been drugged before he brought it up, which was also to prevent him from suddenly attacking the queen. This time, Eunuch Fu's whole body is limp, but it doesn't hinder him from talking. Eunuch Fu shouted loudly: "God has eyes, let that poisonous woman taste the pain of losing a blood relative." When he said this, Eunuch Fu had a happy face. In Fu Gonggong's heart, what he killed was not the emperor of the ninety-five years, but only the son of his enemy. As for why Eunuch Fu made a detour to kill the emperor instead of finding the culprit, the Empress Dowager Song, only Eunuch Fu knows.

When Yuchen heard this, he knew that Eunuch Fu had an enmity with Queen Mother Song. In fact, during the more than 20 years that the Queen Mother was favored, countless people died at her hands.

Yuchen said with a cold face: "If we procrastinate, we must let him recruit the murderer behind the scenes." The crimes committed by the Queen Mother Song, but in the end she asked her children and grandchildren to pay her debts.

Logically speaking, the empress dowager song's biological mother should be notified of such a big event as the emperor's death. But Yuchen really didn't want to see her, so he didn't ask Queen Mother Song to come over.

Ever since the embarrassing things done by the Empress Dowager Song were discovered, she was under house arrest in the Compassionate Ning Palace, and she was not allowed to step out of the Compassionate Ning Palace. Later Zhou Jing succeeded to the throne, and after learning about the Queen Mother Song's deeds from Yu Xiyu, he still put the Queen Mother Song under house arrest. It was announced to the outside world that the Empress Dowager Song was ill and needed to rest. Now, Yuchen has a ready-made reason not to let the Queen Mother come out.

Eunuch Fu is very stubborn, even if the Zhenfu Division exhausted all means, Eunuch Fu failed to recruit the mastermind behind the scenes.

Nanny Gui told Yuchen about Eunuch Fu's details: "Mother, this man's surname is not Fu, but because he worshiped an eunuch surnamed Fu as his godfather, so he took the surname Fu. As for his real surname, it is temporarily Haven't found it yet."

Eunuch Fu’s family was too poor back then, so his parents had to sell him to the eunuch who came looking for a boy in order to survive. A contract was signed when it was sold, but the contract was later destroyed after Fu Gonggong gained power. The person in the palace who knows his exact identity has not yet been found out.

Yuchen asked: "What grudge does he have with the Queen Mother?"

Chen Yu shook his head and said he couldn't find it: "I guess only he knows about this." The person killed by the Queen Mother Song must be very important to Eunuch Fu. In order to save his life, Eunuch Fu didn't dare to tell the outside world about it. Otherwise, he himself would lose his life.

Yuchen said with a gloomy face, "Where is the other one?" A total of four people were found, and two of them committed suicide on the spot. Eunuch Fu is also dead now, and the remaining one is an old maid, and the palace is in a daze. There is no power in the palace, but seniority is older.

Nanny Chen also wanted to commit suicide at the time, but unfortunately she failed. She also doesn't have the backbone of Fu Gonggong, she would rather die than surrender. Under torture, she confessed.

Chen Yu shook his head and said, "Although I made a confession, the news of the confession is not of high value." Madam Chen obeyed Eunuch Fu's orders, and she didn't know who was behind Eunuch Fu.

Yuchen took the confession, looked at it carefully, and found no important clues: "Master Chen, who do you think is the mastermind behind this scene?"

Chen Yu said without hesitation: "There is no other person except Yan Wushuang. Empress, I have sent someone to ask Lord Lu to seal the city gate. Without the emperor's order, the city gate cannot be opened." This is to prevent Yan Wushuang from leading troops to attack. Into the palace.

At this moment, Shi Qin hurriedly walked over and said, "Empress Empress,

It's not good, Tang Jieyu ate something unclean and became red. "

Yuchen hurriedly stood up and said, "Hurry up and invite the imperial physician."

Physician Le administered acupuncture and prescribed prescriptions, tossed and tossed for a long time, but failed to save Tang Jieyu's child. Imperial Physician Le said: "Empress Empress, I have tried my best."

Misfortunes never come singly, and soon Yuchen got the news that Hu Xiurong had also given birth. Hu Xiurong is the youngest daughter-in-law of Lord Hu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, so her status can be regarded as the highest.

Hu Xiurong didn't eat something unclean, but was knocked to the ground by a maid in her palace. The method is simple and crude, but very effective. Hu Xiurong was less than three months pregnant, and the fetus was still unstable. Such a collision, how can the child survive.

Yuchen's face turned pale, the mastermind behind this scene was to eradicate the emperor's blood. At this time, Yuchen couldn't care less about anything else, so he sent twice as many people to protect Zhou Yan. If you are not a confidant, you can't get close to Zhou Yan at all.

In the middle of the night, the emperor woke up. Looking at Yuchen whose eyes were red and swollen, the emperor said, "What's wrong? The eyes are swollen like this?"

No matter how good-hearted Yuchen was, seeing her husband was about to die, she couldn't help crying; "Your majesty, your majesty will definitely get better."

The emperor said to Chen Yu: "You all go down." This is something to explain.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu immediately withdrew all the people in the palace. In the dormitory, only a family of three remained.

The emperor said a lot to Zhou Yan.

Hearing these last words, Yuchen gritted his teeth and dared not let himself cry again. But tears had already blurred her eyes.

After talking for a long time, the emperor asked Zhou Yan to take out a black box from his wooden box, and said: "This is the token to mobilize the dark guards. With it, the dark guards will obey your orders. Yan'er , you must keep it well!"

After all, Zhou Yan was only a five-year-old child, and he cried convulsively when he heard this: "Father, you will be fine, you will be fine."

The emperor wanted to touch his son's head, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand now. The emperor looked at Yuchen and said: "Yuchen, I promised you that I would grow old with you forever, I have to break my promise, I'm sorry."

Yuchen couldn't bear it anymore, hugged the emperor and cried, "Your Majesty, don't say such depressing words, you will definitely get better. You will definitely get better."

The emperor shook his head and said, "I know my own body. Yuchen, you must take care of yourself when I'm not by your side in the future." After saying this, he slowly closed his eyes.

"Your Majesty..." A burst of heart-piercing cries echoed over the palace. When the people outside heard the voice, they all knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

"Boom, boom, boom..." The death knell in the palace rang. Only in the case of death, the death knell in the palace will ring. The number of times the bell rings is different for different identities. When the emperor died, the number of knocks was the most.

The Empress Dowager, who had been under house arrest in the Palace of Compassion and Peace, was awakened by the sound of a bell in her sleep. Hearing the continuous ringing of the bell, the Empress Dowager Song said with a pale face: "Whoever died, this is who died." In the past two years, what she said to the Empress Dowager Song was like years.

Nurse Ju, who was serving beside her, her legs softened, she knelt on the ground and said, "Empress Dowager, the emperor has died."

When the Empress Dowager Song heard this, she kicked Nanny Ju's heart, and cursed angrily: "How dare you curse my emperor's son, come, someone, pull this lowly servant girl out and stick her to death." The palace worshiped the Buddha and chanted sutras, but the hostility on the Empress Dowager Song did not subside in the slightest. Over the past year, more than ten court ladies and eunuchs have died.

Nanny Ju prostrated herself and begged for mercy: "The Empress Dowager, please spare me, I beg the Empress Dowager, please forgive me!"

The Empress Dowager Song ignored her pleading, got up and got dressed and was ready to go to the Qianqing Palace. It's a pity that before he left the bedroom, he was stopped by the eunuch, Eunuch Ping.

Eunuch Ping said: "The empress dowager, the emperor has an order. Without the imperial decree, the empress dowager cannot take half a step in the palace of compassion." The main reason is that the emperor died, and the empress did not send anyone to inform the empress dowager Song. It can be seen from this that the queen has no intention of releasing the Queen Mother Song at all. Anyway, when the previous emperor passed away, the Empress Dowager Song did not show up. It is not surprising that the Empress Dowager Song did not show up for the emperor's funeral.

The Empress Dowager Song was full of anger, and scolded: "Go away, if you dare to block my way again, I will kill you without a place to bury you." The confidants of the Empress Dowager Song were all executed by the previous emperor. The current staff of the Compassionate Ning Palace were all reassigned from the Ministry of Internal Affairs later. Zhou Jing became the emperor, except for not letting the Queen Mother go out, he did not treat the Queen Mother badly in terms of basic necessities of life.

Eunuch Ping was not afraid of the Empress Dowager Song, so he said venomously: "Empress Dowager, there is no imperial decree. If our family lets you out, I will not be able to bear the blame of the Empress Dowager." The emperor passed away, and the successor It must be His Royal Highness. The relationship between the Queen and the Queen Mother Song is not good. He can't curry favor with the Queen, but he can't offend the Queen either.

The Empress Dowager Song never expected that one day she would be humiliated by eunuchs and maids who were like ants. Furious, he fell to the ground.

Eunuch Ping said in a sharp voice: "What are you still doing, help the Queen Mother to the bed quickly." Eunuch Ping himself did not do anything.

Master Lu Er got the queen's handbook to arrest Yan Wushuang, and Master Lu Er took five hundred people to Duke Yan's mansion without hesitation. At this time, it is better to catch it by mistake than let it go. Even if Yan Wushuang's army of 150,000 troops is tens of miles away from the capital, Yan Wushuang must be arrested.

Yan Guogong's mansion is not so easy to enter. After paying hundreds of corpses, Master Lu Er finally rushed into the Duke's Mansion with his people.

Looking at Yan Wushuang who was sitting at the top with an expressionless face, Master Lu Er said sharply: "Why do you want to kill the emperor? Do you know that if you do this, the world will be destroyed."

Yan Wushuang sneered, and said: "The world has fallen apart a long time ago, and now it's too funny to talk about the big one." The voice was indescribably hoarse.

Master Lu Er took three steps back, stared at the people on the seat, and said, "Aren't you Yan Wushuang? Who are you?" The appearance looked similar, but Yan Wushuang's voice was not.

Yan Wushuang laughed straight, and said, "I'm just a very inconspicuous person next to the lord." The emperor died, and the lord's plan was about to come true, so he deserved his death.

Master Lu Er looked at Yan Wushuang on the chair, and remembered that Yan Wushuang spent half of his time in the Duke's mansion after arriving in Beijing. If he guessed correctly, the person staying in the Duke's mansion is the double in front of him. No one knows what the real Yan Wushuang has done this year. Such means and ability made Master Lu Er a little frightened.

Even the fake Yan Wushuang was not captured without a fight. After killing more than a dozen soldiers, he was shot to death by an arrow. (to be continued)
