"Gao Niang, please go on the road!"

Standing on the spring bench, Chu Jinyu listened to the eunuchs in mourning clothes yelling loudly, without any thought in her mind. She is the queen, and she was selected by the 24 divisions of the six bureaus and twelve supervisors. of.She had never met her nominal husband, the Emperor Sima Hui of Daying.

She was canonized yesterday, but even then, she is still a queen.

She is the most honorable woman in Daying, she is only 17 years old, at the same age, she has not experienced anything when she came to this world, and she is going to be buried for her husband whom she has never met.

Qin Tianjian drafted a burial list of 46 people. The Daying Dynasty had regulations. All queens, concubines with children, and daughters of heroes did not have to be buried.

But when they got together, they only got 45 people. The cabinet minister said that an odd number was unlucky, so he had to add another person, so he charged her with a crime, saying that it was unlucky for Emperor Gao to die when the queen was established. people.

But Jinyu felt that this reason was not wise, since he was an unlucky person, he couldn't go down to accompany the king.

After all, she was a Chongxi Empress, but the daughter of a fourth-rank official, her superiors selected her and sent her in without even discussing with her father.It is said that Emperor Gaozu was only 24 years old. He thought he could last for a few more years, and it would be better for her to get over the addiction of being a queen. Who knows that Sima Hui passed away last night without even stepping on the ground, but she wanted to... was dragged to be buried.

She was unwilling, why did she behave like this, she was also raised by her parents, she didn't want to be buried, she didn't want to die, she still wanted to live well.

I remember the year before last that I said that I would go to Jian'an to see a famous actor sing an opera, and that I would go to Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea to burn incense, and...she still has a lot of things to do, she really doesn't want to die.

Along the corner of the eyes, two rows of concubines passed by one by one. Everyone's face was bloodless, and a row of benches stood in front of her. She was numb. Could it be that she was really going to die here today, and went to accompany her That ridiculous husband?

The little eunuch behind him helped her onto the spring stool, but she was too stiff to move, her hands and feet were cold, she didn't feel that it was a June day at all, she only felt the chill from the soles of her feet to her heart.

She wanted to cry, she was shaking, she was scared.

The little eunuch piled up the flesh on his face, showing his big yellow teeth and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the neck will go in later, and a servant will pull a stool for you. It will pass in less than a quarter of an hour. There is no major pain."

Hearing his words, Jinyu wanted to turn around and slap him twice, and he had never been hanged before, so how could he know what it felt like.But she is not in the mood at all now, her palms are tightly curled up in the large linen mourning dress, her eyes are crying but there are no tears, who will save her?

A concubine next to her suddenly broke out, struggling to rush out, wailing: "I'm not a concubine, I'm just a court lady, Your Majesty has never favored me, I don't want to be buried."

Jumping off the spring stool, he ran towards the threshold. Before his feet stepped out of the threshold, he was dragged back. He was holding on to the pear blossom door with his fingers and refused to let go. He was dragged and pulled a long scratch. The old eunuch Going forward to comfort her, she said, "Your Majesty is now a concubine honor, and she is no longer a slave. Didn't your majesty accompany you the night your majesty passed away? Don't worry, your majesty will be the first to favor you when you get to the other end."

Anyway, he was still pulled onto the spring stool, and his head was pushed into the rope ring.The wailing sound of the whole hall and the fluttering of white flags made people feel the fear of dying.The little eunuch helped her onto the spring stool, and put her head into the rope ring. She was unconscious of all the movements. She felt that she was no longer alive. This was the last moment, and it should be her empty shell.

I remember hearing a scholar say that when you hang yourself, you put your head into the rope loop, and the stool underneath is pulled out, and you can't breathe from your throat immediately, and you can die completely in just a blink of an eye.

That kind of feeling, even thinking about it, makes people feel out of breath.

In just a split second, the door of the Zhongzheng Hall suddenly opened, and an eunuch wearing a plain face came in. Through Jinyu's eyes, maybe she was crying. The person she saw was blurred, and she I couldn't hear any sound, the small wooden bed underneath was taken away, I just felt breathless in my throat for a moment, my whole head was in a daze, as if I had an illusion of being isolated from the world, but I just saw the jade-faced talent in front of me Know that you are not dead yet.

Ruan Lanye pushed the door open and came in, saw the person on the rope, was startled for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and immediately raised his jaw to look at the spectacle, the boundary between life and death was right in front of his eyes, A person who lives well for a moment turns into smoke in a blink of an eye. Life is really wonderful.

Chu Jinyu's eyes were blurred, she saw the man stretching out his hand and pointing at her, and she lost consciousness after that.

The hall returned to silence, and behind him, Eunuch Cao bowed his waist and said, "Eunuch, if you have any orders, just give the servants."

Ruan Lanye raised her eyebrows, pointed at Chu Jinyu with her orchid, and said flatly: "That's her, let's put it down quickly."

Father-in-law Cao waved his hand immediately, and the little eunuch behind him hurriedly stepped forward to remove Chu Jinyu, hesitatingly stepped forward and asked in confusion: "Eunuch, there are exactly 46 people on the list sent by the Supervisor of Rites earlier, Eunuch What is the meaning of this?"

The person in front of me is the head of the chief inspector of ceremonies. It has always been a tradition in Daying that the chief inspector of ceremonies is in charge of all affairs in the palace, not to mention that he also holds the power to approve awards proposed by votes. This power is one person under ten thousand. On the other hand, no one dared to provoke him except the emperor.

Ruan Lanye wiped her hands with a handkerchief, covered Eunuch Cao's face, and complained, "Stay away from our house!"

Little Eunuch Cao was terrified immediately, and hurriedly backed away three or four steps away from him, he forgot that the palm-printing father-in-law in front of him had a habit of not liking people getting too close, and he had to stand four or five steps away even to reply.If he bumps into him and doesn't go smoothly, even walking and taking the wind can make him angry and throw the handkerchief in his hand on that person's face.

Ruan Lanye covered her mouth and said: "In Qixiang Palace, Concubine Shun and the first emperor and his wife are deeply in love. They just hanged themselves to the sky, and the number of them became 47. It's not very auspicious. If they are all dead, then withdraw from here. Just one."

He said it lightly, as if human life was just a number in his mouth.

Ruan Lanye squinted at Chu Jinyu who was being carried down, her eyebrows and oval face were clean, unlike other people who had to smear after death.With the closed eyes, I couldn't see the eyes clearly, only the eyelashes were a little long, and a piece of green was illuminated by the blue light.Lying there motionless, his slender figure was upright, and his appearance was a bit pitiful.

He stood up with his hands behind his back, no longer looking at the people below, and sat in the circle of the pear flower chair and said, "Emperor Gao has just passed away. Although he was conferred only yesterday, he is still a queen anyway, so send him to Xiaoluan Palace." .In this life, I will only be accompanied by the ancient Buddha with blue lanterns. Look at this flower-like person, it’s pitiful.”

It is rare to say such pity words from his mouth. Usually, strangling a person to death is like crushing an ant. This hell Shura would actually have a heart of pity. I don’t know if it counts as Chu Jinyu Good fortune cultivated in eight lifetimes.

Little Eunuch Cao was shocked. The first emperor had few heirs. This Concubine Shun came as a tribute from Korea. She has a son and a daughter. Now that the crown prince is not established, no one dares to slander who will be the master of the world in the future.Logically speaking, such a thing shouldn't happen at this juncture. No matter which prince ascends the throne, this mother-in-law can always be named a concubine and sent to the fief. Life in the future will be more comfortable than staying in the palace.

The strangeness is probably not simple. In the previous dynasty, there was Li Xuan serving there, and it is not surprising that there is another concubine Shun. Those ministers in the previous dynasty are most taboo about foreign relatives being in power. According to this theory, Shun is probably the one who will ascend the throne in the future. The prince under the concubine.

It's really sad to think about it, even if my own son becomes the emperor, so what, I don't see it with my own eyes.

45 coffins are placed in the main hall, plus Concubine Shun in Qixiang Palace, just enough to make up 46 people. After the coffins are filled, they will be sent to Fengxian Hall, and then sent to Tailing on the 26th of the coffin. So logical.

Ruan Lanye shook her hands and shook her face, fearing that the bad luck would contaminate her body, she raised her feet and stepped out of the main hall gate, the sky outside was already dark and murmuring, she looked up at the sky, the starry sky was densely covered, and Fu Tianer was on the tree at the edge of the sky barking non-stop.

In this world, the seventh emperor of the Daying Dynasty was sent away, and by dawn, the eighth new emperor would be ushered in. Calculated the year name, it was the first year of Tianshun.
