The stunning medical concubine defies the world

Chapter 426 The War of the Kingdom, Who Is the Murderer (18)

According to the customs of Dongyue, no. 14 days after the death of the monarch, the state funeral should be held, and the body should be removed from the ice room in the imperial palace and placed in the imperial mausoleum.

On the day of the Eastern Empire's burial, before dawn, Dongyue's Manchu civil and military officials had already gathered on both sides of the steps, quietly waiting for the Eastern Emperor's coffin to be carried out of the imperial palace.

The morning light gradually rises in the sky, the dark night slowly dissipates, the wind blows through the clouds, and at the end of the rolling hills, there is no ray of sunshine. The good weather of the previous few days has all dissipated today.

Suddenly, a long horn sounded from above the imperial palace, all the officials turned sideways and knelt down slowly in the direction of the imperial palace above the heavenly steps.

After the sound of the three horns dissipated, the tightly closed gate of the imperial palace suddenly opened slowly.The gate of the Nine Heavens Flying Dragon Xuanyu Palace made a heavy sound in the silent morning wind, like a heavy sigh between heaven and earth.

After the Nine Heavens Flying Dragon Taoist door was opened, Mu Qingxiu, dressed in mourning, walked out of the imperial palace slowly, holding the spirit tablet of the Eastern Emperor in his hand.Following behind were the empress Tong Xuexin and Mu Qingning, and then Dongyue's concubines and princes and daughters.

"The emperor's coffin is out, worship." The ceremonial officer who had already been waiting in front of the gate of the emperor's palace saw that all the concubines and princesses had come out, and immediately took a step forward, shouting loudly towards the sky steps.

As soon as the words fell, all the officials bowed their heads in worship.At the same time, the horn sounded from above the heavenly steps again, and the sad sound almost spread throughout Dongyue.

When the second horn sounded, along with a heavy sound from inside the imperial palace, the 32 generals of Dongyue, headed by Mo Zhan, each wearing mourning clothes, steadily carried the Xuanyu ice coffin from the imperial palace. out.

Seeing the Xuanyu ice coffin containing the Eastern Emperor come out of the imperial palace step by step, the many concubines and princes and daughters kneeling outside the imperial palace finally couldn't bear it any longer and burst into tears.

"Mother, if you are sad, you can cry." Mu Qingning turned her head and looked at Tong Xuexin, who had dull eyes and no expression on her face, bit her lips lightly, and said with a sob.

Mu Qingning and Mu Qingxiu rushed back to Dongyue last night, and she was already extremely tired after traveling day and night.In addition, Mu Qingning was so sad that she couldn't hold on outside the Dongyue Emperor's Palace, and passed out.

When she woke up, she was already in the Eastern Moon Palace. At first, Mu Qingxiu wanted her to rest for a while, but Mu Qingning overheard the servants in the palace saying that Tong Xuexin had been silent since the death of the Eastern Emperor. , I hardly ate anything, and I lost a lot of weight.

Mu Qingning was worried about Tong Xuexin, so she dragged her tired body to Tong Xuexin's place.

After seeing Tong Xuexin, Mu Qingning was startled.Although it was late at night, Tong Xuexin was still awake, sitting blankly on the bed, staring blankly at a hosta in her hand.

Mu Qingning recognized that it was a token of affection given to her by the Eastern Emperor back then. Tongxue had very few ornaments on her heart in these years, but this jade hairpin was never missing.

After guarding and persuading Tong Xuexin for a long time, she acted as if she hadn't heard a word.Except for the porridge, the things sent by the palace people were almost untouched.

In just half a month, the originally magnificent woman looked like a rapidly withering flower. A few strands of white hair grew on her temples, and there was no trace of life on her body.

Mu Qingning was afraid that Tong Xuexin would do something extreme, so she stayed in the bedroom to accompany her until this morning when she heard the sound of the horn outside, there was a gleam of light in Tong Xuexin's eyes.
