Gu Yuqing placed the hand on Concubine Hui’s shoulder and pressed her hard against her.
Feeling the warmth of Gu Yuqing’s palm, Concubine Hui calmed down a little, and still held the teacup tightly, but she remained motionless. “What?” asked the Minister of War.
The Minister of War immediately saluted and said, “Empress, I am not my opinion on Your Majesty’s edict, I have no opinion in my heart.”
For Xiao Yu’s biological mother, the future Empress Dowager, the Minister of War wished that he could kneel down on his knees to express his respect at this moment.
“Oh… As far as I know, the Fourth Highness did not attend the New Year’s banquet on the New Year’s Eve night. Although the explanation given by Your Majesty was that the Fourth Highness was playful and hunting in the West Mountain Palace,…” After swallowing several times, the Minister of War said, “But at that time, the Fourth Highness was actually seriously ill and unconscious, and was recuperating in Your Majesty’s imperial study.”
As soon as he said this, except for the insider, the remaining court officials immediately took a breath.
I was unconscious and could not even attend the palace banquet on the New Year’s Eve night, and even recuperated in the imperial study. It can be seen that the Fourth Prince’s illness is serious.
Today is the night of the New Year, but in just a few days, can the Fourth Highness take over this important task?
A pair of eyes looked at Concubine Hui.
This is because we have to preside over the national funeral and always deal with the evil deeds of the King of Nan’an and prevent the border countries from taking the opportunity to cause trouble…
Xiao Yu was originally an ignorant, but he was seriously ill at this moment. This…
Concubine Hui breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that they were worried about this…
He cleared his throat with a cough, and Concubine Hui became more confident. “Although Yu’er was ill a few days ago, the Empress Dowager and His Majesty suddenly died last night. Yu’er struggled. Although he had not recovered yet, I think it would not be…”
As he said, Concubine Hui paused and turned to the eunuch general manager and said to the eunuch general manager: “Go and invite the fourth prince to come here.”
The eunuch general manager Yingnuo turned and left.
Before, he discussed the establishment of the crown prince. In order to avoid suspicion, Xiao Yu naturally did not appear. What’s more, the emperor and the empress dowager “just” died. At this time, he should not have the heart to think about anything else. What he had to do at this time was to lead the princess and concubines in the empress dowager’s bedroom to guard the body of the empress dowager and the emperor – sad!
After all, he is the biggest among the princes in the palace and among the princes! (Although Xiao Yan is still alive…)
As soon as the eunuch general left, the palace of Yangxin was immediately filled with sorrow.
Of course, except for Gu Yuqing and Concubine Hui.
What they both were worried about was whether Dong Ce could play Xiao Yu well in front of the court officials.
And the commander of the Imperial Army and Tao Ye were in great pain.
Not only do I feel anxiousWill Dong Ce reveal his feelings? He is even more worried that Xiao Yu will really take power in the future. Can he deal with those difficult problems…
The eldest prince Xiao Yan is a good one, but his identity is still a ghost who has been dead for a long time…
Alas!
Tao Ye was so worried.
Your Majesty, what are you doing? You have to die during the New Year… Are you trying to force us to death!
While worried, Dong Ce, who pretended to be Xiao Yu, came in with the eunuch general manager all the way.
Although the court officials only learned that the empress dowager and the emperor had died, “Xiao Yu” was already wearing a filial piety dress.
When the Empress Dowager was alive, she was particularly kind to Dong Ce. At this time, Dong Ce’s sadness was revealed.
