Damn my ex got struck by lightning

"The late emperor passed away early, and the emperor's heirs are weak. There is no one to accompany him on the road to Huangquan, so he must be very lonely. Shu'er, in these two days, you draw up a list of burials for the Ministry of Rites. When the time comes, these few people will go down to accompany the late emperor."

The Empress Dowager's complexion was obscured by the flickering candlelight. After taking off the makeup and the twilight dress, the majestic temperament suddenly weakened a bit, revealing a little softness.

But at this moment, those blue and clear eyes contained a coldness that reached the bottom of people's hearts.

Yan Shu and Concubine Yi, who were sisters in Fengqi Palace half an hour ago, now sit next to each other in Renshou Palace, and I sit next to you.

Yan Shu calmly rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, damn it, do we have to talk about such an underworld topic at night?Besides, when people are dead and they are buried with the living, she is insane, she will not do such a job that lacks virtue!

"Aunt, is that why you called Shu'er here?" Yan Shu asked.

The queen mother hummed, and pinched her brows, her thin and white face showed a bit of fatigue. "Originally, Aijia wanted to leave this matter to others, but after thinking about it, Aijia thought it was time for you to be on your own. Aijia is getting old, and I can't do everything by myself. This matter is for you Let's work out."

Is it okay to try with your life?

There were 1 rejections in Yan Shu's heart. This cruel and ignorant system of burial should be abolished. She said, "Auntie, Shu'er thinks that the matter of burial is no small matter, and it needs to be discussed in the long run."

The Empress Dowager said: "Of course the Ai family knows, so I'll call you here to discuss."

Now the trend has completely deviated from the original work, Yan Shu feels that his advantage of traveling from the perspective of God has nowhere to play.The original text did not explain that there was a sacrificial burial system in this dynasty.

As for how long their sacrificial burial system has lasted, and whether it is possible to abolish it, she has no idea.

"Auntie, what Shu'er wants to ask is..." She didn't have any confidence in her heart, and she didn't know how the Queen Mother would respond to this question.But she has to do this. If she doesn't take the first step to test the attitude of the highest authority, she won't be able to make corresponding judgments and strategies, and she can only catch her blind.

It might even backfire.

"Can the sacrificial burial system be abolished?"

"Shu'er?" The queen mother Huo De stood up, staring at her in surprise. "You, you are..."

Even Concubine Yi, who is not in the right mind, looked at her in surprise.

It's okay, okay, I didn't get scolded, which means I have a chance.

"Nonsense!" The next second, the Empress Dowager pointed at her and scolded: "Aren't you a fool in Fengqi Palace? Isn't the system a joke? This is the rule set by the ancestors. Do you say it is abolished? Really? Ignorance! Aijia is really going to make you mad!"

Yan Shu: Hasty.

She panicked and confessed: "Auntie, Shu'er made a slip of the tongue, Shu'er was wrong."

The Empress Dowager avoided her hand shamelessly, and said solemnly: "Shu'er, Aijia thought you had grown up, but I didn't expect that you were still such a child at heart, acting as you please, regardless of the consequences. Aijia is so disappointed in you gone."

Yan Shu showed a sad expression.

Concubine Yi at the side shrank her head. Would she like to say a few words for the empress?Forget it, let's not add to the chaos, it will be troublesome to get on fire, the empress dowager is deeply loved by the empress dowager, there must be a way to appease the empress dowager.

"Auntie, Shu'er has a reason..." Yan Shu's eyes were red like rabbits, he carefully tapped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and said with a choked voice.

In view of the fact that the original female supporting role opened her eyes to tell lies and had too many previous convictions for running the train, the queen mother had to think carefully about the words that came out of her mouth.

"Let's talk about it first."

Yan Shu's slender eyelashes drooped down. Although he didn't shed a single tear, he did enough to look pitiful.

"Shu'er dreamed of the emperor last night."

The Empress Dowager's complexion changed slightly.

Yan Shu continued to sob and said: "The emperor said that he and the concubine are very happy to be a ghost couple now, and told the concubine not to cause trouble. He doesn't want to see other concubines. The emperor said that he only wants to win the hearts of one person, and the white head will not be separated. If The courtiers and concubines disobeyed his wishes, so they came to pester them every night, so that they could not rest in peace."

With quick wits, she could only pull the dead male lead out.

Combined with the idiot behavior of the emperor towards the imperial concubine during his lifetime, it is not impossible to conceive such a dream.It's just that he didn't expect that the emperor would be so worthless, he would not want a lot of beauties, but insisted on that cruel and ruthless imperial concubine, and finally lost his life.

The Empress Dowager beat her chest, lamented again and again, how would she face her ancestors a hundred years from the things that have done more than fail.

"Auntie, please save Shu'er." Yan Shu, who was struggling to brew a tear, grabbed the Queen Mother's wrist excitedly, crying miserably. "The emperor comes to pinch Shu'er's neck every night. Shu'er has not been able to sleep for several days. You see, Shu'er is getting thinner day by day."

Concubine Yi followed and nodded in agreement: "The Empress Dowager, the concubine also thinks that the Empress Empress is quite haggard."

Guiltyly, Yan Shu brushed his sleeves against his face, which just happened to block the eyes from the Queen Mother, it is impossible to be thin, thank goodness if you don't get fat after eating big chicken legs every day.

The Queen Mother's attitude softened: "Shu'er, why didn't you tell the Ai family about this earlier?"

Yan Shu: "Shu'er doesn't know how to speak, and I'm afraid that if I say it, my aunt will worry."

"It's hard for you to think about your family at this time." The Queen Mother returned to her usual kindness to her, but her face was solemn, and her two thin eyebrows were twisted together. "Although it was the intention of the first emperor, the ancestral system cannot be abolished easily. Tomorrow, the Ai family will summon several important ministers to discuss it together. The Ai family will let you know the final result."

Yan Shu has no objection, it's good to hold on for a while.She is not the heroine, she doesn't have a powerful halo and golden fingers, no matter how much the queen mother dotes on her, she will not make drastic corrections because of her few words.

Next, we can only take one step at a time.

After leaving Renshou Palace, Yan Shu was not in a very happy mood, and lost interest in enjoying the night view.Concubine Yi, on the other hand, was as lively and cheerful as ever, heartless and heartless.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that for Concubine Yi, burial is just a matter of following the ancestral system, just like drinking water and eating, because this is the environment she lived in since she was a child.

Yan Shu is not the Holy Mother, but the education she has received since she was a child does not allow her to stand on the sidelines on the issue of human life.Whether or not to help is one thing, but whether to do it is another matter.

"Empress, there are still some sachets in the concubine's palace to dispel evil spirits, and I will ask Xiu'er to bring them to you later. Wear it on your body when you sleep at night, and you will definitely not have nightmares again." Concubine Yi Whisper.

Yan Shu turned his head and looked at her seriously: "Concubine Yi, what do you think about the funeral?"

Concubine Yi, who was cueed, looked puzzled.

Subconsciously, she wanted to avoid such a deep topic, but when she saw the face that was six points similar to the queen mother, she was scared.

Concubine Yi opened her mouth, Yan Shu cut her off with a sigh.What's the use of asking Concubine Yi, this sister is not as good as her vicious female partner.

"It's getting late, Concubine Yi, you should go back to rest earlier. I appreciate your kindness, but you keep the sachet for your own use. I have some prepared in the palace."

After the next day, the Empress Dowager really summoned the most important officials of the court to the imperial study to discuss the burial of the late emperor.

At noon, Amu was ordered by the Queen Mother to deliver news to Yan Shu at Fengqi Palace.

"Empress Empress, Empress Dowager asked me to hand over this list to you. If there is nothing wrong with it, I will submit it to the Ministry of Rites."

At a glance, there are eighteen names, some of whom Yan Shu recognizes, and some of whom Yan Shu doesn't.

People have a little bit of empathy, and it is a lie to say that they are not uncomfortable.It's already very miserable for eighteen beautiful little girls to spend their time in the harem, and now they have to be buried with the dead.No matter how you think about it, it is a human tragedy.

What puzzled her the most was that the queen mother said last night that she would do the drafting of the list, but after one night, she finished the list in such a hurry.

So weird.

She frowned and asked, "Amu, did the Queen Mother ask you to bring something?"

Amu Fu said, "May I take a step to speak?"

There was an inside story, Yan Shu waved his servants away.

A Mu stood beside Yan Shu, and said in a low voice: "Go back to Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager has ordered the imperial dining room to make nourishing soup for you every day, and the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital will come to see you later and treat you for a few days There will be no more nightmares. The Empress Dowager also said that the number of people this time is the smallest since the beginning of the dynasty, which is already a great concession. Presumably the former Emperor Quanxia knows and understands, and will not take his anger on the Empress. The Empress Empress can rest assured. "

Speaking of this, Yan Shu knew that there was no room for change.

After coming back last night, she deliberately looked up some history about this dynasty, and the number of buried monarchs started at [-].The queen mother did not lie to her, which is indeed a big concession.

The list will stay in Yan Shu's hands for a day, and Amu said to pick it up the next day.

When the emperor was buried at the end of the month, the [-] people on the list would drink poisoned wine and enter the imperial mausoleum together after their identities were verified.The link in the middle is one link after another, even if Yan Shu wants to do something, he can't do it.

Anyway, she is a time traveler, so why can't I give her a golden finger!

It doesn't need to be thick or long, it's okay to be short, she doesn't pick.

Yan Shu rested his chin on one hand, fiddling with the list frowningly.The red and green sisters and Chao Qingyue, who were serving her closely, understood why she was bothered, and surrounded her to comfort her.

Luying glanced at the list, suddenly her eyes lit up, she pointed to a few names and said with a smile: "Madam, aren't these people who have spoken against you before? If they know that they are on this list, they will definitely come and beg Empress, yours! In this way, won't you be able to vent your anger again?"

Hong Ju: "Yes, Madam, you can still vent your anger."

Yan Shu glanced at the two sisters, and said coolly: "What's wrong with you, I don't think it's a big deal for you two to watch the fun, I wish the whole harem could be buried with the late emperor."

The two sisters' necks felt cold, and they immediately retracted their bodies, for fear that their names would appear on the winning list in the next moment.

Seeing their cautious appearance, Yan Shu felt extremely bored.For the first time, she felt lonely. If there was someone from the same world as her by her side, she might not be so helpless.

"Your Majesty, is there no other way?" A sigh came into my ears.

Yan Shu looked up suddenly, Chao Qingyue squeezed behind her at some point, the faint scent of saponins lingered on the tip of her nose, her watery eyes stared at the list on the table, feeling a little sad.

Yan Shu was a little excited, Xiao Chao couldn't bear it as much as she did, otherwise why would he ask like that.

"Xiao Chao, you can't bear it?" she asked.

Chao Qingyue nodded lightly, she did not want such a thing that violated human relations and morality to happen.Avoid it if you can.

She believed that the empress and her thoughts were the same.

"Ma'am, can we do something?"

Her clear and bright eyes made Yan Shu's old face hot. To be honest, there was nothing she could do.

She's just an ordinary vicious female supporting role.

"Xiao Chao, I have already done what I can do." She said honestly, "Maybe the result is not satisfactory, but this is the only way I can do."

After saying this, Yan Shu looked away.

Originally thought that Chao Qingyue would show a disappointed or angry expression, but unexpectedly, Chao Qingyue was very sensible.She not only understood Yan Shu's situation, but also felt Yan Shu's uneasiness.

"There are nine times out of ten unsatisfactory things in the world, and this servant knows that the empress has tried her best." Chao Qingyue said softly, "The empress has worked hard."

Yan Shu was warmed by her words "Your Majesty has worked hard".

A strange feeling spread in her heart, as if she thought she was on a deserted island, but suddenly found that she was not the only one on the island.

In the end, the list was returned to Amu intact.

On that day, the chief eunuch took the imperial decree and read it everywhere, and there was a moment of mourning, and the whole harem was filled with death.

"Your Majesty is bad, Jiang Meiren hanged herself in her room!"

"Oh, empress, Jiang Zhaoyi committed suicide by swallowing gold!"

As soon as the imperial decree was issued, Yan Shu ran around in the harem profusely sweating.If it wasn't for the empress dowager who couldn't get away, Yan Shu would never have cared about this muddy water, what's the use of rescuing people, the root of the problem has not been solved, and those who are determined to die will still die a second time.

puff-

"Ah, Miss Liu fell into the water! Come quickly!"

"Master, how can you leave this servant alone, without you... this servant can't live, and this servant will come to accompany you!"

puff-

"Oh, sister You'er also fell into the water, come and save them!"

Now the dumplings, one after another.Not far away, Yan Shu kicked off his shoes and socks vigorously, while sprinting for a hundred meters, the fast red and green sisters stopped him.

God, what is the empress doing? ?Save people?But she can't swim!

Luying hurriedly shouted from behind: "Xiao Chao, stop your empress quickly!"

Chao Qingyue followed closely behind Yan Shu, saving people was the most important thing, she didn't have time to care so much, just as Yan Shu jumped into the lake, she also jumped in with her hind feet, splashing two beautiful water splashes.

The red and green sisters rushed to the lake panting, and when they saw Yan Shu's hair accessories and Chao Qingyue's shoes and socks on the shore, they almost fainted.

Xiaochao's dead girl, it's fine if she doesn't stop the empress, but she even jumped in with her!What is she crazy about?

Luying is anxious like an ant on a hot pot, she doesn't know how to water, if she goes down, she will die.She had no choice but to desperately beg Yan Shu on the shore: "Empress Empress, I beg you, come up quickly, if you make any mistakes, the Queen Mother will be very sad!"

Hong Ju also begged: "Yes, Madam! Come up quickly!"

"Niang Niang, today's weather is not as good as before, the water is cold, your body is not good, how can you bear this fall into the lake, come up quickly! I beg you!"

Yan Shu: What a fuss.

She holds her breath underwater for up to 10 minutes, and is proficient in synchronized swimming in backstroke and breaststroke. Saving someone is just a matter of convenience.

Yan Shuyou traveled very fast, and soon reached the place where Liu Meiren fell into the water.There was no sign of Liu Meiren on the lake, so Yan Shu dived into the bottom of the lake in one breath, searching for Liu Meiren's trace.

The view at the bottom of the lake was dim, and it took Yan Shu some time before he saw a slender shadow.

She slowly groped over, grabbed her waist, brought her out of the water together, and slid desperately towards the shore.

After a while, she began to feel a little detached, because she forgot that this body was a landlubber, and holding her breath for 10 minutes was a delusion.The success of catching people was purely due to her exercise during that time, which improved her physical fitness.

Luying and Hongju were overjoyed when they saw Yan Shu surfaced out of the water, they lay down on the bank and stretched out their hands to pull her.

And Yan Shu lived up to expectations, and went ashore with Liu Meiren who fell into the water.

"Your Majesty, you scared the servant to death just now! The servant disappeared after seeing you, and thought you..." Lvying cried and laughed at the same time, carefully wiping the water droplets on Yan Shu's face with a handkerchief.

"I'm fine, Luying, go over there." Yan Shu half-dragged and half-carried the unconscious Liu Meiren to the open space, ready to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. "Other people leave when they have nothing to do, don't surround them, it will save the air from not circulating."

The red and green sisters didn't understand what air was, but they still knew the meaning of Yan Shu's whole sentence.Quickly got up to help disperse the crowd.

Yan Shu clasped his hands between Liu Meiren's chest and continued to output. During the ups and downs, he suddenly heard Hongju muttering something in a low voice.

"Why haven't Xiao Chao and Yu'er come up yet..."

Yan Shu's heart was shocked: Fuck me?

She immediately turned her head to look at the lake, and there was no one there.

Xiao Chao jumped down after her, if she hasn't come up yet...

Yan Shu felt cold all over his body.

She briefly explained to Luying Hongju and jumped into the lake again.

Chao Qingyue felt that she was really unlucky, and originally wanted to be a hero to save the beauty and perform well in front of the goddess.Who would have thought that if he failed to save someone, he would have to pay for his own life.

I just don't know if I can wear it back after I die.

If she could go back, then of course she would be happy, if not, hey... then she would be considered unlucky.

I heard that the death condition of the drowned person is ugly. When she is salvaged, will her hair be soaked? Thinking about it, it feels terrible. It must be ugly to the sky, right?

Don't let the empress see it.

When her consciousness fell, Chao Qingyue was full of rambling thoughts, and the sci-fi and horror movies she had watched before were playing in front of her eyes.She secretly thought, there shouldn't be great white sharks and crocodiles that eat people here, right?Big octopus is not good either, she doesn't want to be twisted into seven or eight pieces.

If there must be some unknown creature, then she hopes it is a mermaid.

The kind little mermaid meets a dying human girl. In order to save the human girl, she embraces the human girl in the blue water and tenderly offers her kiss...

Ah~ I can't think about it anymore, she is going to die.

Before she closed her eyes, she vaguely saw a voluptuous and slender figure swimming towards her at high speed.

Hey, is that a mermaid?She really came...
