Chapter 156: The Emperor Dies
"Did you hear that last night a female guest tried to climb into my bed, but I caught her."
"What, who is so brave?"
"I don't know. Let's go and take a look."
Before the two of them left, Su Cheng came over and called them, "What are you talking about?"
Upon seeing this, the two maids quickly knelt down and saluted, "Greetings, Third Master and Third Madam."
"What are you talking about here, what female guest?" Su Cheng asked again.
The two of them stammered and told each other what they had heard. Su Cheng and Qi Yuechan looked at each other with worry in their eyes.
Female guests, there were no other female guests from the Su family yesterday except Su Wan. Then there were only the Qi family. Qi Yuechan had some plans in her mind, but she just couldn't believe that she would do such a thing.
Seeing his wife's worried face, Su Cheng held her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, let's go see it first."
Qi Yuechan explained: "I'm afraid that the Qi family will offend my second brother. What should I do then?"
"It's okay, don't worry. Even if my second brother is drunk, no one can get close to him." Although he said this, Su Cheng's face did not look good.
Qi Yuechan was anxious. If she walked a little faster, she would feel pain in her body. Su Cheng pressed her pace and she slowed down. "It has already happened. There is no point in being anxious. Walk slowly."
Qi Yuechan nodded. Fortunately, most of the people had already left. After thinking about it, she asked someone to notify Madam Qi.
She discussed with Su Cheng in the morning that since Su's parents were not there, they would go to offer tea to Su Yi. It is said that the eldest brother is like a father, and the second brother is also an elder brother, so it is natural that he is the same.
Su Cheng felt bad when he thought about his parents not being around when he got married, and his elder brother and Huanhuan were not around either. When his wife made the proposal, he readily agreed.
The two went to the main courtyard, where a man was tied up with a rope. Just as Qi Yuechan guessed, it was Wang Qing.
Su Yi sobered up the moment Wang Qing approached her yesterday, even though she had deliberately dressed up as Liu Huan, and even though she was so drunk that she couldn't tell east from west.
But the smell of a person will not change. Liu Huan does not use perfume and there will be no smell of inferior perfume on his body.
Thinking that last night was Su Cheng's wedding night and he couldn't disturb him, he tied him up in the yard all night until the maid who was cleaning saw it today and spread the news.
"cousin……"
Wang Qing was both happy and scared to see Qi Yuechan, and then looking at the maids who were watching, she felt that she had been extremely humiliated.
Qi Yuechan suppressed her anger and asked, "What are you doing in the Second Master's yard?"
Wang Qing complained aggrievedly, "I was passing by outside last night, and Lord Su tied me up and brought me in."
"Why didn't you go back with me yesterday?"
Wang Qing pretended to be calm and said, "I felt uncomfortable yesterday, so I thought about staying overnight at the Su Mansion. Who knew this would happen? Cousin, please let me go."
Qi Yuechan saw the clothes and hairstyle she was wearing, which was Liu Huan's most common outfit before. It was clear evidence that if she could believe it, there must be something fishy.
"I have asked someone to notify mother, and someone will come to take you back when the time comes."
Wang Qing was completely frightened at this point. "Cousin, I know I was wrong. I won't do it again."
If she was taken back by the Qi family, they would definitely send her back. She didn't want to go back to her hometown. She had already told her sisters that she came to Beijing to live a good life.
"Cousin, please beg Lord Su for me. Liu Huan might be dead and won't come back anyway. If I don't want to be his wife, I can just be a concubine and stay in the Su Mansion, okay?"
Qi Yuechan felt her husband's body tense up, so she stepped forward and slapped Wang Qing, and ordered the maid beside her, "My cousin is sick and confused, why don't you take her away?"
"Cousin, cousin, please help me. I can still help you in the Su Mansion in the future..." Seeing that she was getting more and more outrageous, the old woman took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into her mouth, then quickly took her out.
Qi Yuechan looked at Su Cheng apologetically, "Brother Cheng, my cousin she...she..."
She didn't know how to explain. She knew that her husband was always thinking about Liu Huan. She also knew that Liu Huan was a taboo in the Su family and a thorn in the heart of every member of the Su family.
She hated Wang Qing so much in her heart that she wished he would disappear from her life forever.
Su Cheng shook his head, "Nothing, this is none of your business, don't think too much, let's go in."
Before he entered, Changbai came out and said, "Third Master, the master is still sleeping, you should go back. The master said yesterday that it would be better to save the tea ceremony for when he meets the two elders later."
The two of them were turned away, and Qi Yuechan was very worried, "Is the second brother angry?"
Su Cheng pulled her around and said, "He's not angry. Let's forget about it and don't mention it again."
He knew the reason, but he felt there was no need to tell his wife, and he didn't want more people to know about Huanhuan and Su Yi.
After the two of them returned, someone came from the Qi Mansion.
It was the nanny beside Madam Qi. Without saying a word, she asked someone to drag Wang Qing onto the carriage.
When Qi Yuechan returned home, she found that she was not there. After asking, she learned that she had been sent back to her hometown. The old lady even claimed to be ill and refused to see Qi Yuechan even when she returned home.
"Are you okay in the Su Mansion?"
Qi Yuechan looked shy and said, "Brother Cheng treats me very well."
Madam Qi asked again, "Did Master Su give you any trouble about this?"
Qi Yuechan said: "No, he has not been at home these days. I don't know what he has been doing."
Mrs. Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief. "If she makes you lose face in the Su family, I won't let her go back alive. She is really from a small family and cannot be put on the stage."
Qi Yuechan didn't want Madam Qi to keep holding on to this matter, so she changed the subject and asked, "Where's Dad?"
Madam Qi dismissed the people around her and said, "If the emperor is dying, your father would have gone to the palace yesterday."
Qi Yuechan was surprised, "How could it be?"
"It is said that he was harmed by a concubine, but the details are unclear. Don't ask about it. Stay in the Su Mansion and don't go out. No matter who sits in that position, it can't affect us."
After Qi Yuechan returned, she stayed at home, and the noble ladies and young ladies in the capital also tacitly agreed not to play mahjong. They closed their doors and waited for the death knell to ring.
Five days later, late at night, dull bell sounds came from the direction of the palace, each one carrying a tone of depression and weeping.
Su Cheng quickly stood up and woke up Qi Yuechan beside him, "Hurry up, let's go to the palace."
The clothes had been prepared long ago. Su Cheng's official position was low, so he could not enter and could only kowtow outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The whole country mourned the death of the emperor, and the news was quickly transmitted to every province over 800 miles. Officials of all ranks changed into mourning clothes, and officials above the fifth rank went to the capital to mourn.
Even in the small Heshui Village of Nanchang County, everyone was immersed in grief.
Liu Huan changed into plain clothes and fasted for seven days as a farewell to this wise ruler who had been in power for decades and whom he had only met once.
The emperor passed away and the prince succeeded him. The new emperor ascended the throne and pardoned the whole nation.
The people will be exempt from taxes for three years, and all prisoners whose crimes do not warrant the death penalty will have their sentences reduced by three years, regardless of whether they are serious or not.
By the time the news reached Heshui Village, 49 days had passed.
