Legend of Qingling Dance

Chapter 17
As usual, the prince naturally had to keep vigil all night.After the Nine Blessings, the prince began to kneel before the spirit, all night long, to show his pure filial piety.

The fifth prince Wei Wang Zhou Daiguang, the seventh prince Hui Wang Zhou Daiting, the ninth prince Chun Wang Zhou Daiying, and several princesses including Heshun, Hefu, Heqing, and Hetai got the permission of Mrs. Li to start the vigil from the third night.

The concubines have to cry day and night.

As for the first-class wife Anli in the palace, because she and the empress were sisters in life, she was shocked and mourned when she heard the sad news, and immediately fainted in the Anhe Palace. In addition, Concubine Wen Gui also presided over the funeral and mourning.

"Mei Guiren, you kneel under Zhang Guiren."

After all, Mei Guiren dragged her sick body over.Kneeling pale among the weeping concubines, his body was on the verge of falling.

The musician played the mourning music again, and Concubine Wen raised her handkerchief and began to mourn.All the concubines also wept mournfully.

The ever-burning lamp in front of the spirit shone brightly, and from a distance, the Yide Palace was exceptionally brightly lit.

In the middle of the night, the heavy night fell on the city of Xijing, like a nameless beast dormant in the darkness.

Bursts of cold came over, and Emperor Xiaoming, who was sweating profusely, suddenly woke up from the nightmare. He sat up suddenly, and exclaimed heart-piercingly, "Jin'er!"

Liu Meiren, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened and shook Emperor Xiaoming's arm in panic: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Emperor Xiaoming's eyes were scattered, he roughly pushed Liu Meiren's tender body away, and shouted: "Guan Wen!"

An old eunuch came in in response, and his old voice was very respectful: "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."

Emperor Xiaoming was panting heavily, and there was still deep fear in his chaotic voice: "Where is the crown prince? Has the crown prince returned yet?"

Guan Wenqi said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? The prince has come back to see you and is now keeping vigil at Yide Palace."

Liu Meiren Fang Chengyulu, Emperor Xiaoming is still on the rise, it is the time when thousands of people love her.

She didn't know why Emperor Xiao Ming was so uncharacteristically furious tonight, she was really frightened, she wrapped her clothes and shivered on the side, her immature and beautiful eyes were full of terror.

Emperor Xiaoming looked at her, and suddenly felt disgusted by Liu Meiren's timid and ignorant appearance, so he said coldly: "Go down!"

The monarch has always been unpredictable, Liu Meiren dared not disobey, so she had to kowtow obediently, put on her clothes and got off the dragon bed with tears in her eyes.

Emperor Xiaoming leaned slumped on the soft and gorgeous big welcoming pillow, still terrified in his heart: "Guan Wen... How did the queen die? An Li... What exactly is An Li going to do?"

Guan Wen stole a glance at Emperor Xiaoming, lowered his eyes and replied: "The empress died suddenly of a heart attack. Yi Yuanpan, Jiang Taiyi, and Qin Taiyi from the Imperial Hospital were all in Yide Palace at that time. Madam Li was furious and had already died. Immediately execute Imperial Physicians Jiang and Imperial Physician Qin."

Emperor Xiaoming said impatiently: "I'm not asking this! I'm asking about An Li, what has she done recently?"

Guan Wen sighed, knowing that Emperor Xiaoming was not completely confused, he bowed his head and said respectfully: "At nightfall, Mrs. Li brought Princess Yuxiang into the Anji Mausoleum. But rest assured, Your Majesty is staying on the Tianheng Stone. The name is orthodox in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and there is a white tiger pendant to protect His Majesty's natal stone, and His Majesty's country will be eternal and stable."

Emperor Xiaoming's expression was shocked: "She really went to the Dark Ji Mausoleum again! That's right, my widow... sensed a strange aura from the white tiger pendant... the omen should be Chu Jun..."

Guan Wen turned pale with shock, and quickly persuaded: "Your Majesty, be careful! Your Majesty is grieved for the death of your mother, so you will have such wild thoughts. The prince is smart and kind, and the people praise him for five years of flood control! Your Majesty, auspicious people have their own celestial features, and they must not come out." What an ominous statement!"

Emperor Xiaoming narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had not yet escaped from the nightmare, and his voice was extremely tired: "You don't understand..."

He closed his eyes, the wrinkles on his face were like old bark: "Nineteen years ago, the celestial phenomena suddenly changed, and the Southern Suzaku Palace suddenly lost all its brilliance, and the white tiger pendant had tears in its right eye... Sure enough, the Nanyue Yuwen Clan was almost wiped out!  … ..."

Guan Wen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, God's will is unpredictable, and the signs may not be accurate! Don't you see, Your Majesty, the new ruler of Nanyue is an unborn genius!"

Emperor Xiaoming let out a wry smile: "How can my Great Zhou compare with Yuwen's?"

He raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his brow: "Is there anyone else in the palace tonight?"

Guan Wen thought for a while and replied: "The crown prince of the Northern Qi Kingdom traveled to Xijing more than a month ago, and he has never been willing to go back. He never asked about government affairs in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and I heard that he has a good relationship with the princes and princesses of His Majesty. "

Emperor Xiaoming remained silent for a long time.

Guan Wen wanted to persuade him to continue to rest, but said: "Your Majesty, if Liu Mei is not to your liking, how about the old slave sending Sumei over to accompany you?"

Emperor Xiaoming shook his head stubbornly, and said after a while: "Prince Xuan, come here."

Guan Wen was secretly surprised, but quickly said in his mouth: "Yes."

Emperor Xiaoming settled down a bit.

However, a quarter of an hour later, suddenly, the sound of a long arrow piercing through the sky resounded through the night sky!

Immediately, there were noisy voices, some screamed, some cried, and there were chaotic and hurried footsteps everywhere.

A palace guard shouted loudly: "Quick! Quick! Protect Your Majesty!"

Emperor Xiaoming was shocked: "Here comes someone! What happened?"

Jiang Yishuo, the commander of the guards in the palace, hurried in, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, something is wrong, the crown prince is rebellious!"

Emperor Xiaoming was shocked and angry: "Nonsense! Where is Guan Wen? Where did he die?"

Guan Wen trotted all the way in and knelt down: "Your Majesty, the prince has really turned his back!"

Emperor Xiaoming roared: "What is he against? I don't believe it!"

He got up, put on his clothes and was about to go out.

Guan Wen hugged his leg: "Your Majesty, it's dangerous outside! The prince's subordinates are killing people everywhere, your safety is of the utmost importance!"

Emperor Xiaoming said angrily: "Tell me, the prince is guarding the spirit well, why is it the other way around?"

Guan Wen said hesitantly: "...I am guarding the spirit. I dare not say it."

Emperor Xiaoming roared: "Do you want to die? Say it!"

Guan Wen looked depressed and sweated profusely: "People from Yide Palace came to report that the crown prince kept vigil until midnight, and retreated to rest in the side hall. Somehow, Mrs. Mei Gui was also there! According to the testimony of people from Shuying Palace, The prince coveted Mei Guiren for a long time, for this reason, Mei Guiren committed suicide once by taking poison!... The prince saw Mei Guiren this time, but he couldn't control himself...Mei Guiren screamed loudly, resisting death, and attracted A large number of palace guards were killed. The prince became angry and turned against him!"

Emperor Xiaoming was trembling with anger: "It's nonsense! It's nonsense! Where is Mei Ruofen? Take her here!"

Guan Wen hurriedly said: "Mei Guiren felt that it was difficult to meet people, and he was killed by a head bump at that time!"

Emperor Xiaoming couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear in astonishment, he slumped on the couch as if his spine had been pulled out.After a long time, an old tear slowly fell from the eye socket.
