Reborn Daughter

Chapter 697 The Grand Finale (17)
When they arrived at Changle Palace, the Empress Dowager was already sitting in the outer hall. Concubine Xia still had a few concubines who had not been dismissed by Lan Qingzhong. Hong, when they saw Ding Zi coming in, they saluted one after another. Although they were concubines and concubines, in terms of seniority and dignity, naturally Ding Zi, the princess of Zhenguo, was more honorable. Ding Zi quickly returned the salute.

The queen mother beckoned: "Go to Ai's house and sit here."

Ding Zi turned around and sat on the Queen Mother's side, holding the Queen Mother's hand and silently comforting her. The other concubines couldn't help but have red eyes when they saw it. Although the Prince didn't send them away now, their identities are really embarrassing now , most of the people here will be sent to the nunnery to practice after the emperor's burial, and they will stay in the end. Thinking of this, they were really sad.

Ding Zi stayed in Changle Palace for a while, and the auspicious time for the state funeral had arrived, so the royal family members and court ministers who came to the palace attended one after another. In the back row, two rows of men in white clothes stood outside the main hall.

First, a ritual official took the book with the merits of the deceased emperor and read it out. After reading it, it was a few more national funeral ceremonies, and then it was time to cry. But when the eunuch yelled, the scene began to cry.

Ding Zi talked about this several times, the emperor who wanted to kill them had no feelings at all, and she was very happy that the emperor died and they would have less trouble, but as the princess of Zhenguo who was appointed by the emperor, she always had to put on a show, otherwise she would be caught. , It's not good for Prince An's Mansion, she had already made some stimulating potions on the veil beforehand, and as soon as the veil was wiped on her face, her eyes would "snap, slap, slap" and fall out non-stop.

Then came the spirit, and moved the emperor's coffin to the royal mausoleum. As a child of the royal family, there is a tomb in the royal mausoleum, but the emperors of all dynasties are very particular about it. Not to mention the luxurious tombs built early, Even the funerary objects are all of value.

And this road requires people to walk, Ding Zi is standing in the front, she supports the Queen Mother, and wipes her face with a veil from time to time, but her brows suddenly frowned, she lowered her head, and looked around with the corners of her eyes, A little doubt flashed in her heart, just now she always felt that someone was watching her all the time, but after such a sweep, there was nothing, could it be just her illusion?

"What's the matter, what's wrong?" The queen mother asked softly, pinching Ding Zi's hand.

Ding Zi immediately shook her head: "No, I made the imperial grandmother worry, and Zi'er is fine." But the doubt in her heart did not subside. As soon as she turned her head, she felt that there was something staring at her from behind, and Ding Zi walked away silently. After a while, I turned around suddenly, but what I saw was a group of wives who bowed their heads and covered their faces with handkerchiefs, crying bitterly, there was nothing suspicious at all.

Ding Zi had a bad feeling in her heart, the emperor's funeral, I am afraid that something else will happen out of nowhere!

On the other side, Yun Xiyu, as the fifth concubine, was naturally standing in the front row of the women's family, and couldn't help tugging at Ding Zi's sleeves: "Zi'er, why do I feel like I'm going to be out today? Like something."

Her cousin is very sensitive, but Ding Zi can't help but think that it is indisputable that Lan Qingzhong is the first heir after the death of the emperor, and the queen died, saying that she was thrown into the cold palace. Fu Ming knew what crime the queen had committed, and now only Lan Qingzhong could save them. Now is the time to try to please Lan Qingzhong, so naturally there will be no accidents, the most likely ones are the princes.

However, the fourth prince has been claiming to be sick all these years. Although his mother and concubine's family has some power, it is not right to compete with Lan Qing for fame, and the strength is not equal. Is it self-destruction?Besides, Lan Qinghua, he looks like that, and he hasn't been back to Beijing for many years. There are almost no people who recommend him in the court.

But why, she is so worried in her heart, and this worry is about the matter of the throne, she always feels that something will happen today!

But seeing Yun Xiyu worried, Ding Zi patted her hand: "Don't worry, nothing will happen!"

The way to send the coffin was very peaceful, but there were cries from time to time, showing their respect and reluctance to the emperor. The surrounding crowd was accompanied by stern-faced imperial guards armed with weapons. In order to protect the success of the funeral, they also In order to protect the safety of the mourners, almost all the soldiers and guards of the imperial city were used today to accompany them.

Seeing this, Ding Zi suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

All the troops have been sent over, what about the palace!Isn't the palace like an empty city right now?
Because according to normal people's thinking, those who came to participate in the emperor's burial today are all the most honorable people in Daqi, and the safety of these people is the most important, so it is right to send heavy troops to protect it. The concubines, maids and eunuchs in the palace also accompanied a bunch, and funerals are still a matter of honor for these people, no one will stay in the palace, isn't the current palace just an empty city?
If someone sends troops to occupy it now, wouldn't it be possible to capture it without any effort?

Ding Zi was startled by her own thoughts, and she couldn't help tightening the arm supporting the queen mother. The queen mother felt strange, and when she turned her head, she saw Ding Zi's expression was extremely cold and serious, and her heart tightened: "Zi'er, what's wrong with you?" ?”

"Grandmother, Zi'er suddenly thought of..."

At this time, the team has already left the palace, and walked out of Huangjie Street, ready to walk to Chengdong Street. After leaving the city, they have to walk five miles to reach the Royal Garden Mausoleum. Today is destined to walk a lot, so be careful not to get tired Some people were miserable, but before they left the city gate, there was a sudden noise in front, followed by the sound of weapons colliding.

Then suddenly a woman's scream sounded from behind the line, and Ding Zi's heart skipped a beat, it's broken, something happened!

At this time, Lan Qingzhong had already led the Imperial Forest Army to check the situation, but just after Lan Qingzhong followed, the fighting sound became more intense.

"Ah, ah!" The screams from behind became more intense. Ding Zi and Yun Xiyu protected the queen mother, and quickly pressed the queen mother against the wall on one side. It was safe for the two of them to protect, Ding Zi lowered his eyebrows, Thinking in my heart, who is it and what is the purpose!
But at this moment, the crowd suddenly became chaotic, one or two... The crowd screamed like they suddenly collapsed, a group of shirtless men, and a group of people dressed as ordinary people, armed with weapons, suddenly rushed into the funeral crowd. The group of people slashed and killed people when they saw them, their methods were fierce, and their shots were quick. After a while, the noble ladies behind were all dead.

"Daliao people, Daliao people, they are taking revenge!"

"Ah, I don't want to die..."

"Help!"

The howling sound was endless, and Ding Zi frowned tightly, something was wrong, something was wrong!
The people of Daliao are looking for revenge, so it should be Lan Qingling and her. Why did they make trouble for the dead emperor? Lan Qingzhong is leading the imperial army at this time, and they have already fought with these people, but today the mourners There are so many, and this group of people kill people when they see them, and it feels like killing one to earn another.That feeling is meant to destroy...
