Qingchuan History

Chapter 516 Chaos
Ruan Zhongdan ordered all the ministers to stand up and said a few words on the occasion.Then there was another minister who heard about the death of the prince mentioned above, please make a decision as soon as possible, and announce it to the world, so as to calm the panic in the court.

There are many opponents of Ruan Trong in the silent majority.After the abdication of the system was proposed, the opinions of this group of people were divided again, so that the scene was so peaceful at the moment, and no one came out to attack.

Perhaps it is also because of the presence of the two kings Qi and Wei, border entanglements suddenly arise, and there are hidden worries about the country's calamity.

Ruan Zhong also took advantage of the momentum and led the crowd to the palace. When he approached the Yingchen Palace, he ordered the distinguished guests to take a rest at the Fuxi Nuan Pavilion, and he went to the East Palace to preside over the situation with the Holy King and the Crown Princess.

"Xueyin, are you going?" Ruan Zhong asked.

It stands to reason that at least one member of the Ruan family should be retained as the host to accompany the state guests, and both Ruan Xueyin and Ruan Moxi are suitable candidates.However, the prince's passing away is strange, and Ruan Xueyin is proficient in medicine and visited the prince before he fell ill, so she should be there due to circumstances.

What's more, she wants to go.

Jing Tingge also wanted to go, but because there was no grand reason, seeing that the two groups of people were about to part ways, she called Ruan Xueyin:

"I'm very sleepy, go to your place to sleep for a while?"

Jing Tingge had been to Yin Palace when he was young, so he knew where Yu lived.From here to Yuju, you must pass through the East Palace, and then take the opportunity to follow.

Ruan Xueyin couldn't guess what she was planning, she nodded slightly and asked Ruan Zhong what she meant.The teachers and sisters just borrowed the bed to take a nap, there was no reason to refuse, so they went to their own things, the white-haired Ruan Tie didn't move, and said slowly:

"I won't go. What is the result? I have decided to come to Dailu to report. How to arrange the funeral ceremony, I will also give you an exact explanation."

"The holy king is sure not to come to make a decision in person." Ruan Zhong said.

"Death is irreversible, and it only adds to the sadness. The reason, purpose, and whether it can be used as a blade, leave it to those of you who need it."

The crown princess went out of the palace to report that Madam Shu was sitting guard in the East Palace.

The sky was completely dark, and it was rare for Madam Shu not to be red. Standing in front of the East Palace in a plain robe, she stood like smoke at dusk. Her skin color was even paler than usual, and her lip balm, which was deliberately lightened, could not conceal her beauty.

"She has a beautiful face, she doesn't look old after all these years." Jing Tingge whispered from a distance.

Compared with twenty-year-old delicate flowers, it is natural to see their age, but they are outstanding among forty beauties.Before today, Ruan Xueyin was not interested in her appearance, words, or actions, but from now on, she has to pay attention to every word.

The other party watched the holy car arrive, and quickly stepped down the steps to greet him. After saluting, he found that there were only a few young people, and asked rather sadly:
"Isn't the Holy King coming?"

"The sage is tired, and I am afraid that the prince will be sad, so he returned to Dailu." Ruan Zhong said, "Once everything is settled, I will send someone to report it."

Mrs. Shu nodded, "Alright." She looked at Jing Tingge carefully for a moment, then smiled, "Long time no see, Miss Jing has already turned out to be the most beautiful girl in the world."

The last time Jing Tingge entered the Yin Palace was ten years ago, it was indeed a long time, and it was enough to make people sigh.

"It's not as good as Mrs. Shu's face for decades." Jing Tingge also smiled, because of the death of the prince, he didn't dare to go too far, "Years ago, I always remembered the prince's honesty and friendliness. Hearing the bad news today, I really regret it , so I begged His Majesty Yin to allow me to visit with you."

When a person is dead, the words of visitation are not considered appropriate.The most important thing is that Ruan Zhong never said that she was allowed to enter the East Palace. This performance on the spot was really unexpected and effective——

After all, he is a distinguished guest from a friendly country, so it is not good to tear down the stage and say that there is no such order; he has already arrived at the gate of the East Palace, it is even more difficult to send someone to forcefully send Jing Tingge to Yuju to rest.

I had no choice but to admit defeat, and a group of people entered the gate in silence.Prince Ruan Ji was found to have passed away in the middle of Shen Shi, more than an hour has passed since now.The imperial physicians were waiting in the vestibule, seeing Sheng Jia bowing down, the leading imperial physician ordered Xu Xu to describe the prince's recent illness, and also carefully reported what he had observed in the sleeping hall.

"Both the king and the holy king are not in the palace, and the ministers and concubines are in a panic and have to send the order of the imperial physician to come and see. I have not obtained the imperial edict to make a claim, and I ask the king to forgive me."

The concubine's face was sad, and she said that she was about to kneel, but was stopped by Ruan Zhongxu, and she lowered her eyes and continued to reply:

"His Royal Highness has always had the habit of taking a nap, but he didn't get up when it was time to wake up today. The concubine didn't think anything at first, but said that he was unwell recently, took medicine and slept too much, so he didn't bother him; until it was half past the time, he still didn't move. No, when you enter the room and lift the bed curtain—”

With sobs, she couldn't continue, Madam Shu answered softly:
"When people from the East Palace came to report near you, the concubine was also taken aback. I was afraid that there might be something wrong with the imperial hospital, so I hurried over to have a look. After confirming that it was correct, I didn't dare to delay. It is also the concubine's responsibility to let the princess drive out of the palace to report. I mean, Your Majesty—”

"It happened so suddenly, it's very appropriate, Mrs. Shu has worked hard." Ruan Zhong said quietly, "Is the prince buried now?"

The crown princess wiped away her tears in a daze, "Your Majesty has not arrived, so I dare not act rashly."

Ruan Zhong frowned, "Still in the bedroom?"

"Yes."

"Now that you're here, let's go and have a look."

It was only more than an hour, and it was severe winter, and even with the earth dragon, the room was still not too hot.Ruan Ji's face was peaceful, his brows and eyes stretched out on his chubby round face, as if he was in deep sleep.

Only no breath of life.

Ruan Zhong and Ruan Xueyin are siblings, they went directly to the couch.Ruan Zhong gave Ruan Ji a wink, Ruan Xueyin understood, knelt down and gently pulled Ruan Ji's cold hand, as if saying goodbye.

Ruan Zhong is the king, so he can't kneel; Ruan Xueyin kneeling is reasonable.She pulled for a while, then stood up, expressionless, Ruan Zhong then said:

"Since the imperial hospital has checked that there is no abnormality, let the prince enter the coffin for safety. The funeral must be grand, and all palaces will wear plain clothes for half a month. Singing and dancing are prohibited, and fasting for three days will pray for the prince."

The funeral in the East Palace is no more than a national funeral. According to the Qingchuan royal family's centuries-old tradition, only one family should serve it.

It was concluded that the cold and desolate East Palace became busy, and several people returned to the vestibule to prepare to go to the Fuxi Nuan Pavilion. Jing Tingge bowed to Ruan Zhong:
"Ting Ge asked to enter the medicine garden."

Ruan Zhong was slightly surprised, and said for a while: "The medicine garden is under the jurisdiction of the Holy King—"

"Now His Majesty is the Lord of the Yin Kingdom, and every corner of the Yin Palace is under His Majesty's jurisdiction."

Reasonable and touching. "But the medicine garden has access control, and the Holy King is required—"

"Xiaoxue can go in." Jing Tingge said quickly.

The key is indeed still with Ruan Xueyin.After that night, Ruan Bi continued to sleep deeply, and there was no chance to pay back.She didn't answer by default.

"If that's the case, we still have to ask someone to ask for instructions in Dailu, so we can show respect." Ruan Zhongji insisted.

"Your Majesty is kneeling outside because of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and you want to be filial and respectful to the Holy King?" Jingting's song was joking,

"Don't say that your Majesty's desire to reform the abdication has ruined Ruan's Gangji, and there is no need to do this kind of work again; let's just talk about the medicine garden. When Shengjun told the past in the most happy building, there was a room full of people. What happened to the East Palace medicine garden? I'm afraid it won't be long. It is going to be passed on to everyone in Qingchuan, so why hide it?"

Also very reasonable.Ruan Zhong glanced at Ruan Xueyin, Ruan Xueyin gave a blessing,
"If your majesty is interested, you can take a look at it together." After a short pause, he continued:
"Madame Shu too."

Mrs. Shu seemed surprised, and nodded slightly, "It is indeed a rare place, so I am happy to see it."

"Why did you call her together?" The four of them walked through the secluded forest to the medicine garden, Jing Tingge whispered.

"She has a way, you go and talk. She doesn't know you well, so it's easier to get something if you ask."

Jing Tingge raised his eyebrows: "What kind of net did you draw, just because she can read faces, palms, and celestial phenomena and encouraged Ruan Bi to send you to Pengxi Mountain?"

"Is that not enough?"

Jing Tingge was startled, "That's enough." He followed his advice and quickly walked towards Madam Shu.

Ruan Zhong slowed down and came to Ruan Xueyin's side. "You have judged everything correctly, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it."
