The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

  Chapter 381 Preparation for Funeral

  Xiao Xixi took out the package of dried mutton from the bag.

  This lamb is air-dried, and it is chewed particularly vigorously.

  Xiao Xixi chewed the dried lamb while driving the mule cart, still not forgetting to ask.

   "Aren't you still alive, why do those people say you are dead?"

   Luo Qinghan sat in the dilapidated mule car and explained with a cold expression.

  "It should be a rumor spread by Qiu Yuan deliberately. He wanted to create the illusion that I was dead, so that he could plant Qiu Lei in his favor, and then kill Qiu Lei in a fair way.

  Actually, according to Qiu Yuan's plan, he should kill me first, and then blame Qiu Lei.

  It's a pity that my life is too hard. I escaped by luck and disrupted his plan.

  He had no choice but to spread rumors so that everyone thought I was dead, and sent people around to arrest me, hoping to kill me. "

  Xiao Xixi: "What are you telling about Qiu Yuan's picture? Every day, I work hard, either to kill this or the other. I guess he can't even sleep well at night. Doesn't he feel tired?"

  Luo Qinghan: "This is the charm of power. He can make people forget fatigue, abandon dignity, and abandon humanity."

  "You must never become a person like Qiu Yuan in the future. It's boring to live like that!"

  Her tone is like educating her own children not to learn bad things from others.

   Luo Qinghan responded in a low voice: "Well, I won't be as stupid as him."

  As they drove slowly, the news about the prince’s murder had been rushed to Shengjing with 800 miles.

  The emperor was furious when he learned of this, and ordered the punishment of King Chen Liu on the spot!

  Regardless of the person who assassinated the prince, since the prince died in Chenliu County, it is the dereliction of Chen Liu!

  But the second message was sent to Shengjing again.

  The man who murdered the prince was Qiu Lei, the second son of the Chen Liu Palace!

  Qiu Lei even put Wang Chen Liu and his two brothers under house arrest. After he wanted to kill the prince, he directly rebelled.

  At a critical moment, Qiu Yuan launched a mutiny and killed Qiu Lei himself, preventing the rebellion.

  Qiu Yuan’s righteous act of destroying relatives really shocked many people.

  Even the emperor was a little surprised.

  Originally, according to the law, Qiu Lei murdered the prince and raised troops to rebel. He must be full of crimes.

  But Qiu Yuan's actions to kill relatives have won the favor of many civil officials in the DPRK.

  Many civil officials played to intercede for Qiu Yuan.

"Your Majesty, if it is not for Qiu Yuan to kill his relatives and kill the rebels with his own hands this time, I am afraid that the entire Chenliu County will be under the control of the rebels. And we are far from the mountains of Chenliu County. If we want to send troops to suppress it, it will cost a lot of money and money. Manpower. And now that Qiu Yuan has killed the rebel and surrendered to the court, this is tantamount to saving the court a big trouble, and we should adopt a gentle policy for him."

"Although Qiu Lei's treason is unforgivable, Qiu Yuan is also a victim. He was involved by Qiu Lei. Now that he can righteously kill his relatives, it means that he is still very loyal to the court and his majesty. If his majesty can recruit him, he will It can make him more loyal to your majesty, and at the same time, this move can also show the world your benevolent heart!"

"Now that King Chen Liu is seriously ill and can no longer lead the charge, Qiu Lei almost rebelled. People in Chen Liu County must be panicked. If you do anything to Chen Liu Prince's Mansion at this time, it will probably cause Chen Liu to have more branches. Weichen thought, now. The top priority is to stabilize the situation in Chenliu County, and other matters can be settled slowly later."

  ……

  The emperor just listened to the previous words, but when he heard the last words, his heart was finally touched.

  He cares more about the situation in Chenliu County than those fictitious names.

  Especially, King Chen Liu still holds the power of fifty thousand Chixiao Army in his hands, which should not be underestimated.

  As for the death of the prince, it may seem shocking at first, but when you think about it, the impact of this incident is actually not as big as expected.

  After all, the emperor had many sons, and the prince was just one of them.

  Even without this prince, there are still other princes.

  Of course, no one dares to say these words directly, at most they can only think about it in their minds.

  After talking about Qiu Yuan, the ministers all persuaded the emperor and asked the emperor to mourn.

  The emperor looked sad, his eyes flushed, and his whole body was deeply tired.

  He waved his hand, expressing that he wanted to be alone and quietly.

  The ministers retired and left.

  The emperor stayed alone in the imperial study room for a long time, and then ordered the summoning of the small county king Nie Changping.

  He asked Nie Changping to go to Chenliu County with will. He must find the corpse of the prince and find out the truth about the murder of the prince.

  Nie Changping took the order to leave.

  He has a different idea from the emperor.

  He felt that the prince would not die so easily.

  In fact, even if the emperor did not summon him, he would take the initiative to ask Ying to go to Chenliu County. Unless he was allowed to see the corpse of the prince with his own eyes, he would not accept this reality.

  Nie Changping took a hundred guards, dressed lightly, and set off overnight, heading straight for Chenliu County.

  Although the prince’s body has not been transported back, preparations for the prince’s funeral have begun in the palace.

  No matter what everyone thinks, it looks sad on the surface.

  Queen Qin took the lead in hanging up the white banners and ordered the imperial dining room that everyone in the palace must be vegetarian for the next three months.

  The concubines can no longer wear bright clothes, all of them put on plain dresses.

  The princes began to move frequently, and took the initiative to show their favor to the Qin emperor.

  Now the prince is dead, and there are no other children under Qin's knees. If she wants to be safely promoted to the queen dowager, she must choose one of the existing princes as the object of support.

  This is a great opportunity for the princes, and no one wants to miss it.

  Qin Huang still had that cold look behind him, and he was not close to anyone, but Qin's family had already begun to contact other princes in private.

  The dozen or so concubines in the East Palace all cried to death.

  The weakest concubine Bai Fang cried and fainted several times.

  According to the ancestral system, when the prince dies, all his concubines have to be buried.

  But because the prince’s body has not been found, the emperor has not officially decreed their burial, but everyone knows that the burial is only a matter of time, and these young and beautiful concubines will not be able to escape in the end.

  ……

   Luo Qinghan can probably guess what is going on in the palace.

  As soon as he died, all the ghosts and monsters appeared.

  Especially those of his brothers, in order to fight for the crown prince, they are afraid that they will have to break their heads.

  Luo Qinghan doesn't care about these things. What he is more annoying now is another matter.

  The several necessary roads to Shenbao County were all blocked by the Chixiao Army. They strictly checked the pedestrians, and once they found suspicious people, they would immediately arrest them.

  Luo Qinghan and Xiao Xixi do not have a guide or a text, and once they are found, they will definitely be exposed.

  They have to find a way to get in.

  ……
