Rebirth: The imperial concubine is no longer jealous, and the emperor panics

The emperor held the imperial sword and stood guard in front of the Queen Mother's phoenix couch, almost never leaving.

On this day, the old minister who came to see the advice broke his forehead and talked dry, but he almost seemed not to hear it.

Wang Dafu could only keep sending people to add ice to Cining Palace to ensure that the Queen Mother's body would not rot for the time being.

The Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng decorated the mourning hall in Fengxian Hall. But the ministers and wives who entered the palace didn't know whether they were going to Cining Palace or Fengxian Palace to mourn.

Seeing this scene, Fu Heng and Zong Zheng, the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, were so anxious that they had no choice but to come together to ask for help from Shen Feng.

"Master Taishi, why don't you advise His Majesty?"

"At this critical moment, I would like to ask your Majesty, Grand Master, to give your Majesty a good advice by remembering the teacher-student friendship that he taught you in the past."

Da Zongzheng was also considered the patriarch of the Lu family. He wiped away his old tears and said worriedly, "Master Shen, what will your Majesty do if you can't get over this hurdle?"

"He is an upright man. He can pass this test no matter what."

Although Shen Feng was full of worries in his heart, he still maintained Lu Lingchuan's imperial dignity.

Even so, he still turned around and entered the Queen Mother's chamber.

Deep in the curtain, a tired figure was still guarding the Queen Mother's couch.

Because Lu Lingchuan had not had any water or rice for a day since last night. At this time, the corners of his mouth were chapped, the corners of his eyes were scarlet, and his expression looked very dull.

Shen Feng advised, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has passed away. Let's let her go in peace."

The Queen Mother was once such a noble person, but to see her pass away like this today will only make people sigh with infinite sadness.

Lu Lingchuan looked at the Queen Mother sadly, without even raising his eyes to look at Shen Feng, "No, Master, you are lying to me, the Queen Mother is just tired. When she wakes up, she will joke with me again."

He stretched out his hand to tidy up her hair and murmured,

"Mother, my son will be doubly filial to you in the future. Please don't sleep, okay? Get up and say a few words to your son."

"My son has to read so many books and review so many papers every day. If you, Queen Mother, continue to ignore your son,..."

Lu Lingchuan looked lonely, and put his face against the Queen Mother's hand. He begged helplessly, "Mother, please don't sleep. My son, I beg you."

Shen Feng turned out of bed helplessly and ordered someone to call Xia Huaibei over.

"General Xia, I'll bother you with General Xia when I talk to Your Majesty later." Shen Feng used his hand as a knife and made a gesture.

He was afraid that Xia Huaibei would not dare, so he added, "Any blame your Majesty will have in the future will be borne solely by the veteran."

Xia Huaibei firmly held his hands towards Shen Feng and followed him into the inner hall.

At this time, Lu Lingchuan was kneeling in front of the Queen Mother, becoming more and more confused.

Xia Huaibei didn't wait for Shen Feng's signal. He strode forward, aimed his knife at the back of the emperor's neck, and chopped it down.

Lu Lingchuan's body went limp and he passed out completely.

Shen Feng said in a deep voice, "Here, take His Majesty back to Xingning Palace."

As long as the emperor is installed, all the chaos behind him will naturally be assisted by Da Zongzheng and the Minister of Rites.

The palace people filed in, holding Zhai clothes and phoenix crowns in their hands.

All the officials stood with their hands down, looking sad. The Queen Mother was not yet fifty years old. Why did such a good person pass away so suddenly?

I'm afraid it's another royal secret.

Shen Feng stepped out of the bed. At this time, the great monk Xiuyuan was still knocking on the wooden fish, looking at his nose and his nose, as if he had completely forgotten himself.

After the Empress Dowager's remains were sorted out, covered from head to toe with yellow silk, they were sent to Fengxian Hall via Dazongzheng.

"Amitabha!" Xiu Yuan clasped his hands together. He also stood up and followed the palace attendants who transported the Queen Mother's body to the Fengxian Hall.

Shen Feng stretched out his hand to stop him and said to the great monk Xiuyuan, "Master, please stay!"

"Amitabha!"

Xiu Yuan paused, and with a pair of clear and compassionate eyes, he looked back and said, "I wonder if the Grand Master has any advice?"

"I don't take advice seriously. I just want to know that the Queen Mother is usually in good health. Why did she encounter such a disaster today?"

"Amitabha!" Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said calmly, "When the Queen Mother committed suicide, the poor monk did not know about it."

Suicide?

Shen Feng thought, the emperor was filial and the empire was prosperous. The Queen Mother was living a good life, so why could she not think about it? This is really puzzling.

"If the Grand Master has no other advice, then the poor monk will go to Fengxian Hall to recite sutras for the Queen Mother."

Xiu Yuan bowed deeply to Shen Feng, then changed his pace and walked quickly.

It was already the You hour, and the clouds in the sky above the palace were surging, gathering into golden clouds on the horizon.

Shen Feng casually caught a young eunuch walking in a hurry beside him and learned that his name was Xiao Chun'er and that he had just joined the Cining Palace on duty.

Shen Feng told him to go to Xingning Palace to guard, "If your Majesty wakes up, you can report back to the side hall outside Qinzheng Palace at any time."

After seeing Xiao Chun'er accept the order, he went far away. Shen Feng then crossed the palace road and hurried to Qinzheng Hall.

Nowadays, all political affairs in the world are gathered here, and there are some urgent matters that cannot be delayed at all.

The emperor is now addicted to grief and unable to extricate himself. However, at this time, the army on the border is still fighting fiercely with Tubo. As the grand master, Shen Feng has the responsibility to stabilize the court.

Along the way, Shen Feng kept walking quickly with his hands behind his back, and his mind did not stop thinking about the political affairs of the previous dynasty.

After reading the memorials reported by various ministries for a while, and then listening to Zong Zheng and the Minister of Rites explaining the arrangements for the Queen Mother's funeral, Shen Feng pinched his eyebrows.

"Master Taishi, please have some tea and snacks." A young eunuch presented a lacquer plate to the desk.

Only then did Shen Feng remember that since entering the palace today, he has not touched anything.

"Is there any news from Xingning Palace?" Shen Feng asked, taking a sip of tea.

The tea is the Emei Piaoxue provided by the emperor, which is clear and sweet with an aftertaste.

"Eunuch Dafu is guarding His Majesty every step of the way. Your Majesty should not be awake at this time, otherwise someone will send news."

After hearing the little eunuch's reply, Shen Feng's eyes darkened. At this time, the emperor was not awake and no one was presiding over the funeral ceremony of the queen mother.

But when the emperor wakes up, what should he do if he still can't accept the result of the Queen Mother passing away?

He then ordered, "Send someone to Fengxian Palace to see if Princess Zhaoyang has entered the palace?"

There was such a deep hatred between Shen Yao and the Queen Mother in the past, but now, as the emperor's personal concubine, according to etiquette, she should also enter the palace to pay homage.

As a result, he didn't know if his daughter would be too unwilling.

"Master Taishi!"

"Master Taishi!"

The little eunuch shouted anxiously outside the palace, with his mouth open and breathing heavily.

Shen Feng put the pen in his hand on the pen holder and asked, "What's the matter?"

The little eunuch said anxiously, "As soon as your Majesty woke up, he rushed out of Xingning Palace with his sword in hand. Looking at the direction, he should be heading to Fengxian Palace."
