C365 Great disorder

The empress's funeral was held, the world was covered with silk, and everyone wore a solemn and worried expression. Even the joy of New Year had been washed away.

The empress's catalpa palace was located in the Long Term Palace, but no one knew that it was actually an empty coffin.

The men's faces were solemn. The women were crying sorrowfully, no matter how much they used to envy the Queen, who was the sole love of the household. When the lights were extinguished, the hearts of the majority of the imperial concubines would still be sorrowful.

Even Imperial Consort Bai, who had been hoping for the Empress to die faster, had a lost look on her face as she knelt in the midst of the wailing. It should be said that the Queen was dead, so she could get what she wanted, but her heart was not as relaxed as she imagined.

Morong Gan lowered his hands and stood at a corner, his gaze a little weak, his face also a little haggard. He had not slept the entire night, and was so busy that his feet almost touched the ground.

On the altar, all kinds of offerings were piled into sharp towers, and the eunuchs kept walking around to fill the candles. From the back of the mourning hall came the chanting of the Taoists, paper money was burning in a purple copper pot, and blue flames were constantly licking the yellow paper, turning it into ashes. The smell of the burning paper was mixed with the fragrance of incense, as well as the sky filled with people and their wails, it was very depressing to stay here for too long.

He went outside to take a breath of fresh air, and in the light, someone slowly walked over. "You don't look too good. Are you tired? Go rest in my palace."

Morong Gan shook his head: "I'm fine, you are too old, there is no need to always stay here, if you feel tired, you can go back."

Grand Consort Rui looked at his son in front of him. It was likely because he did not rest well, he had a green shadow right now, and after not seeing him for a while, he had lost a lot of weight, and had distanced himself from her.

"Han'er, I know what happened last time. You've always blamed me in your heart, but …"

"There's no need to speak about Grand Consort," Morong Gan said coldly. "Now is not the time to talk about that either."

The Grand Consort Rui felt embarrassed and did not know what to say. "Royal Consort, she, why hasn't she come?"

"You're here. It's time for you to have some ideas about her again, right?"

"Man!"

"I still have things to do, Grand Consort, please do as you please." From start to finish, Morong Gan had not even glanced at her, as she turned and left.

Grand Consort Rui watched his back and sighed sorrowfully. She wondered if she would do his best to take care of her affairs when she left.

Nanny Rong did not dare to see Morong Gan. Seeing that he had left, she came out from behind the tree and supported her arm: "Grand Consort, go back and rest. Your body cannot hold on any longer, come back at night."

Grand Consort Rui could only sigh, "Rong'er, is this one wrong? But This Dowager is really doing this for his own good! "

"Grand Consort, we should forget about the matters of the future Duke." Grand Consort, we should ignore the future Prince's matters.

"I heard that the emperor had a grudge with him recently. I wanted to ask him about it, but he completely ignored me …"

"Grand Consort need not worry about this matter. Look, the Emperor still values the Prince. Otherwise, why would he let him handle the Empress' affairs?"

"Speaking of the Emperor, I also worry about him. He has been by my side for a few years, and I know his character, he is a righteous and loyal person. The empress going there all of the sudden had a huge impact on him. "Sigh, it's almost the new year, I didn't expect something like this to happen, the empress is still lucky."

"Who knows," Nanny Rong replied. "Empress has everything that is virtuous and virtuous, what a pity."

Morong Gan alighted from the emperor's carriage, and a young eunuch standing at the door hurried forward to pay his respects. "My respects to Your Highness."

"Where's the Head Steward?"

Before the young eunuch could reply, Gao Shenghai's voice had already sounded out. Following him to the door, he knocked on it, "Your highness, you have suffered greatly."

Morong Gan asked, "How is your majesty? Have you eaten? "

Gao Shenghai tweaked his red eyes, and sighed: "The Empress has left, how could the Emperor have the heart to eat? From last night to now, he did not eat or drink, and he just stared at them in a daze.

"I'll go and talk to him."

Just as Morong Gan was about to step in, two guards wearing silk clothing pulled their swords from their waists, stopping him.

"No way, Your Highness!" Gao Shenghai hurriedly said, "The emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to go inside and scratch.

Morong Gan frowned, "How can he not eat or drink? He's the emperor, could it be that he doesn't even want the Land of Han-Yang?"

"Your highness, please give the emperor some more time. The emperor is a person with great intelligence, this servant believes that he will be able to endure it."

Morong Gan swept a glance over the two Imperial Guards, "You are one of the emperor's men, so advise him, be sure to eat something. Also, early in the morning the day after tomorrow, I will send someone over to install the coffin."

"Yes. Your highness, please be at ease. Your servant will definitely properly advise the emperor."

At the same time, the people in the manor started to wake up one after another. The sun was already high in the sky, it was obvious that they had drunk too much last night.

The whole country was in mourning, of course, and this was not a good thing. The Prince Chu was his manor, so naturally, they had to set it up immediately.

He didn't think much of it when he reached the courtyard and saw that the door to the courtyard was wide open. But when he went in, he saw that the room was very quiet, and that the two maidservants were nowhere to be seen. The bed in which the princess was sleeping was covered by a curtain.

He did not dare to be impudent, only taking a look inside the servant girl's room, and it was also quiet. Beside the bed, there was even an account hanging by the side of the bed, but he did not care, he just lifted it off the bed.

He rushed to the bed of the wangfei in a hurry and lifted the curtains to remove the quilt. There were clothes stuffed under the blanket as well. He backed up a few steps and almost fell down on his butt.

In the middle of winter, Yu Gui was sweating profusely and hurriedly gathered the people around him to search. In the end, he found the two Pro-guard s in the forest that were still unconscious.

Now that things had gotten out of hand, Ye Zichen went to find the other two. They had also eaten meat and drank wine last night, so they were currently unconscious within the room.

No matter how stupid Yu Gui was, he could guess what had happened — Princess Chu had run away!

He quickly got on the carriage and rushed to the Prince Chu Palace without stopping. If something like this happened to him, the prince would definitely skin him alive, but even if he was to be cut alive, he had to go and report it.

When he came to the palace, he found that the Prince Chu was not there. He said that the empress had died and the prince had gone to the palace.

Yu De Gui was so anxious that he rubbed his hands, he could only tell Hao Pingguan and ask him for an idea. Hao Pingguan was also dumbstruck when he heard it. The Royal Concubine had ran off, how could he have any ideas …
