Chapter 53 Kill the Emperor and Become the Queen Mother (53)

It was so late, and there was not even a night watchman at the door of the imperial study...

Nan Yue opened the door and stepped inside...

It doesn't look like he was attacked by an assassin...

The woven gold cloud shoes stepped forward step by step, passed the outer room, passed by the fallen documents, and then stopped in front of the innermost desk...

The man in the dragon robe collapsed on the chair, and the young man beside him tried to close his wide eyes with trembling hands...

The boy's eyelids drooped slightly, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes...

"Xiao Yanzhi."

Hearing her voice, the young man suddenly came back to his senses, withdrew his hand and stood up, looking at her with red eyes, seeming extremely helpless, "Sister, father, he, he..."

"I saw it, he is dead." Nan Yue said in a calm voice.

When 444 saw the target die in such a miserable way, he cried even harder.

In the system space, Liu Liu cooperated very well and played a sad song for it...

Xiao Yanzhi's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he was at a loss. "My father came to review the government affairs I handled, and said he wanted to talk to me alone. Everything was fine at first, but I didn't expect... he suddenly spit out blood and fell down, and he was no longer breathing..."

Nan Yue looked at the blood on the table, and then looked at the few drops of blood on Xiao Yanzhi's clothes...

It is quite shocking for the lamb to see a grown man suddenly vomiting blood and dying in front of it.

She carefully observed the already cold Xiao Chenfeng and said with certainty: "He died suddenly from a surge of blood in his heart and a cerebral hemorrhage."

But it stands to reason that when one feels a splitting headache, one would call for the imperial physician. And Xiao Chenfeng's expression shows that he must have been severely stimulated before his death, and his body could not bear it...

"Don't stay here, wait until dawn to announce it to the world." Nan Yue didn't show any expression, but her words were comforting him.

The boy nodded obediently, walked around the table and came to her, his eyes slightly red, it seemed that he was really scared...

Amidst the bloody smell, a faint fragrance wafted over...

Nan Yue frowned and was about to smell it carefully to identify it.

Suddenly, the young man's slender jade-like hand took a brocade handkerchief and gently covered her mouth and nose. The handkerchief was placed in his lapel, and it felt a little warm when he covered it, and it had his unique scent of pine and bamboo.

The boy's eyes were still red, but his gaze was clear. He said with concern: "Sister, there is a strong smell of blood here, it's not pleasant, please take care of yourself."

Nan Yue did not reject the good intention of the sheep. She took the handkerchief and looked around the room. When she saw that the incense burner in the corner was no longer burning, her eyes paused...

"Sister." Xiao Yanzhi called her.

Nan Yue retracted her gaze and tugged at his sleeve, "Go back and change your clothes first, I'll take another look."

Xiao Yanzhi lowered his head and saw the blood stains on his body. His face turned even paler, and he looked inexplicably pitiful and helpless...

Nan Yue had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​investigating the matter seriously and pulled the stimulated boy out of the imperial study.

The night wind blew, and the boy's cold fingertips gently touched the back of her hand...

"Sister, Yanzhi is so cold." The boy was in the voice change period, and his voice was a little hoarse, but not unpleasant.

Nan Yue was thinking about something, "Wear more clothes when we get back later."

Xiao Yanzhi fell into strange silence.

Nan Yue's mind moved, and she comforted him unnaturally: "Don't think too much."

After all, the Dog Emperor was his father, and he died suddenly in front of him. Even if he had no feelings for him, he would still feel a little sad.

Xiao Yanzhi lowered his eyes and said softly, "Yanzhi has a sister, so she won't be too sad."

……

On October 21, the 79th year of Great Yan, Emperor Wenxi died, and the crown prince ascended the throne and changed the reign title to Mingyao.

Empress Huide, surnamed Su, was honored as the Tiansheng Empress Dowager.

His biological mother, Ye, was posthumously named Concubine Jingxian.

……

As the mourning period has not yet ended, all matters concerning the enthronement are kept simple.

Compared to the previous dynasty, the harem is much busier...

Xiao Chenfeng had a lot of concubines, but at least about twenty or thirty of them.

Dayan was not as conservative as the previous dynasties and would not allow concubines to be buried alive with the dead.

Although the new emperor is young and will not take concubines for the time being, it is obviously not appropriate for the previous emperor's concubines to live in the original palace.

The concubines who had offended the empress dowager were terrified, fearing that the empress dowager would ask the new emperor to banish them to the cold palace, or to guard the imperial tomb, or even worse, to become nuns.

So they suppressed their fear and went to Fengyi Palace to find the Queen Mother...

Nan Yue was so annoyed by them one after another that she directly issued an order that those without children should live in the temporary palace, those with sons should be given a small piece of land, and those with daughters should take their daughters to live in Shengjing Mansion. In any case, they should not come to her.

Xiao Yanzhi supported her decision and only left Xiao Jinnian behind...

Nan Yue knew that he had a good relationship with the fifth prince, so she didn't say anything.

"But I should move to the Cining Palace."

Nan Yue is the empress dowager now, so it is not good for her to continue living in Fengyi Palace, after all, that is where the queen lives.

Hearing her words, Xiao Yanzhi paused with his red brush and said in a gentle voice, "The Cining Palace has not been renovated for a long time. I'm afraid you won't be able to get used to living there. You should continue to live in Fengyi Palace for a while."

Nan Yue thought so too. Xiao Chenfeng's biological mother died before he ascended the throne. The Cining Palace has been empty for many years and no one has lived there.

She has been living in Fengyi Palace since she came to this world and has gotten used to it.

There was no need to worry about such a small matter. She said in a deep voice, "Then I will move out when you are ready to establish a queen."

Xiao Yanzhi raised the corners of his lips slightly and said with a smile: "Actually, if Sister wants, it's no problem for her to live here for the rest of her life."

Nan Yue shook her head, just listened and didn't take his words to heart.

The boy is talkative and only knows how to make her happy, but he won't think like that after he gets married.

Xiao Yanzhi saw that she didn't believe him and didn't say anything else. After a long time, she knew that he was serious.

Nan Yue issued the imperial decree and returned to Fengyi Palace.

A moment later, an older eunuch came in from outside. It was Lin Hai.

"Is everything settled?" Xiao Yanzhi asked.

Lin Hai replied respectfully: "All the calming incense has been replaced, and the medicinal residue and tea leaves have been destroyed. No one can trace it back to you."

After a pause, he said, "Didn't the imperial physician find out what's wrong? Why are you..." so worried.

Xiao Yanzhi's eyes dimmed. The imperial physician couldn't find out what was wrong, but she could...

She taught me all these...

Now that he was sure that no traces were left, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lin Hai: "Sorry, I can't transfer you to my side for the time being."

Lin Hai bowed quickly and said, "I'm sorry to bother you." After all, he had served the previous emperor, and now he was serving the new emperor, which inevitably aroused suspicion.

He smiled and said, "Although my godson is a little stupid, he is loyal. You can use him with confidence."

"I know everything."

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and chatted with him for a few more words before letting him leave.
