Chapter 644 Suicide
A turmoil ended with Princess Xiang Zhuang committing suicide in fear of crime.
Xie Zhiwei went to the palace to check the emperor's pulse, used needles, and prescribed medicine, then left the palace to attend the funeral.
When a person dies like a lamp being extinguished, all past faults and sins disappear in smoke, all the lanterns in the palace are covered in white, and soul banners are raised on the sacred pole.
After pretending to be restrained, the Zhuang family did not stop in the Yin'an Hall, but set up a platform to put the coffin in the west hall in front of the Yin'an Hall. , from time to time howl a few words.
Xiao Lingsu's face was numb. She seemed to have no emotion in her heart. It showed on her face, making it hard to see if she was sad or not?
Xiao Ke put his toot in his arms and put his hands on the ground. No matter who came, he didn't bother to raise his head and talk to people.
Prince Xiang was dressed in filial piety, and was supported to sit on the right seat in the Yin'an Hall. Anyone who came to offer condolences would come over and salute him.
Xie Yuanbai was promoted to be the commander of the Yuntai camp. Originally, the Yuntai camp followed Han Jinyi in the rebellion. All the generals above the general banner were all beheaded and the nine clans were wiped out. Now there are not many soldiers left under his command. He is ordered to take all these soldiers to the battlefield in Western Xinjiang , I left Beijing early in the morning.
Xie Tiao changed into plain clothes and came to express his condolences. King Xiang finally came down from his throne. As soon as he met Xie Tiao, he held Xie Tiao's hand, "Master Xie, there are several tragic events in life. This king is one of them." Things never come to fruition, father lost when he was young, wife lost in middle age..."
Xie Tiao was afraid that he would be speechless, so he said "bereavement in old age", so he quickly stopped him, "My lord, there is a saying called Wujitailai, when a person encounters something, he should think about it in a positive way. Although the lord is gone now, the concubine is gone, fortunately the children have grown up and will be able to take care of themselves in the future, the lord only needs to enjoy his old age in peace."
"It's true, Mr. Xie. Speaking of which, I would like to thank Mr. Xie for raising a good granddaughter. This king has a good daughter-in-law. Otherwise, there is no one to take care of the housework for such a big event in the palace. I'm afraid I'm going to cry."
From the day Xie Zhiwei came back from the palace, the match cards of the Wangfu were delivered to Xie Zhiwei. She even met the stewards of the Wangfu, and after straightening out their functions, the order of the Wangfu was orderly. Orderly, everything in order.
These people were originally working in the hands of the Zhuang family. The division of labor was unclear, and they fought endlessly with each other.
But Xie Zhiwei only listened to their division of labor, made some adjustments, and set a few rules, and the several managers felt that the errands were much smoother.
Although Xie Zhiwei is young, but his status is high. Needless to say, His Royal Highness, everyone knows that the prince regards this little princess as his lifeblood, and the old prince even asks the princess about everything. The princess's majesty has long been established , she gave an order, and no one dared to refuse.
Xie Tiao has always known the ability of his granddaughter, so he smiled and was not humble, "My lord, the good granddaughter raised by the official, but I gave it to His Royal Highness Chen Wang for nothing!"
Complacent, Prince Xiang forgot that his family was still having a funeral, couldn't help laughing, suddenly realized something was wrong, and pretended to cry a few times.
It was Yuan Shi who came from the side of the female family. She was very happy, but she still pulled Mrs. Wu Anhou and wiped her tears, "My daughter's life must be really hard. I have passed the gate of the palace, and I haven't had time yet. As for being filial to your mother-in-law, this mother-in-law will pass away, alas, in the future such a big palace will require my daughter to help her, just thinking about it will make my heart ache."
Mrs. Marquis Wu'an came here on business, so how could she hear Yuan's hypocritical words?
Fortunately, when Xie Zhiwei heard that his mother was coming, he hurried over to arrange a few things. Seeing that his mother was about to salute, Yuan Shi grabbed her, and tears really flowed out at this moment , "Mei Mei, you've lost a lot of weight!"
Xie Zhiwei's eyes were red, and she was almost made to cry by her mother, "Mother, my daughter has lost weight, she has grown much taller."
Yuan Shi hasn't seen her daughter for a long time, and looked at her back and forth for a long time, "Is this matter still manageable? Do you want mother to stay here and help you?"
How could anyone stay to help with funeral arrangements? Xie Zhiwei didn't want to bring the bad luck of the palace back to her natal family, so she hurriedly said, "It's nothing, the family can't do without mother, my father went to Weizhou, if mother wants to go with me, I can tell Ah Xun, let Ah Xun Find a way to let my mother and younger brother join the army and settle down in Jingzhao Mansion."
In the next few years, the situation in Beijing and China will definitely be very bad. If she went to Zhending Mansion, she would really worry about her mother and younger brother.
Yuan Shi's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Can this work?"
"Of course it can be done, but for this matter, I will turn around and ask Ah Xun. It also depends on whether grandfather has made arrangements for it?"
Saying that, Xie Zhiwei took his mother to the Xichuan Hall, and after expressing condolences, he hurried back without eating.
Marquis Wu'an was afraid that Yuan would drag Xie Zhiwei to talk all the time. Seeing her leave, she was overjoyed. After offering her condolences, she took two quick steps, pretending to meet Xie Zhiwei by chance, and said, "Princess, can I take a step to talk?"
Xie Zhiwei was about to go back to the Ninghui Courtyard to rest, so he led her to the side wall of the palace, "Madam, please tell me!"
Madam Wu Anhou sighed and asked, "Your Majesty entrusted someone to come out to speak, and said that now I am afraid that only the princess is willing to lend a helping hand. The Empress Dowager returned to Beijing, but she did not hear from the Eighth Prince. The Empress Dowager is worried. Extremely."
Xie Zhiwei looked at Mrs. Marquis Wu'an with sympathetic eyes, her heart moved, and said, "Ma'am, His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince is the direct grandson of the Empress Dowager, since the Emperor has handed over the Eighth Prince to the Empress Dowager, there is no reason why the Empress Dowager will ignore it." .I heard that since ancient times, it has been easy to share adversity, and to share wealth and wealth.”
"Ma'am, the empress and the emperor are husband and wife. No matter how much the empress has paid to the emperor, it is what the empress should do. If you say that you want to repay it, it is absolutely wrong."
She nodded slightly towards Madam Wu Anhou, "Madam, that's all I have to say."
After finishing speaking, Xie Zhiwei turned and left. Mrs. Wu Anhou looked at her back, she was extremely shocked, and she was enlightened. Such a young girl understands the truth. How can her sister-in-law who has become a queen and lived in the palace for half her life don't know?
It's because of not understanding that it ended up like this, right?
Mrs. Marquis Wu'an left from Prince Xiang's Mansion and returned to the Hou's Mansion. Before entering the door, the mother-in-law next to Mrs. Tai came forward and asked, "Mrs. Tai is still waiting for Mrs. Madam to reply!"
