My Empress From The Future
FUNERAL SERVICE II

The Emperor apparently did not object to Meihua's idea. At that moment the three were gathered in the hall of the Golden Palace.

"Greetings to the Emperor and the Empress."

"Wake up, sit here!"

"Good." As soon as Mingfen secured his sitting position, Meihua began to say.

"Sister Ming, the Emperor has agreed to your request. After this you are free to leave the palace. But is it worth your sacrifice? You can't come back here forever. You can't be in touch with them, you'll be considered 'dead'."

There was a single tear that almost fell from Meihua's eyes as she said that. After all taking off such a kind and considerate sister to him, like Mingfen was heavy.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, thank you for your generosity. The empress thank you. Servants do not feel in doubt, simple life like ordinary people is the desire of servants since childhood. Parting with family is certainly hurtful, but I'm willing."

I know that your desire may have been Mingfen since childhood, coupled with the presence of Xiao Wu, who is ready to share your likes. You must have no doubt, inner Meihua.

"You will be considered 'dead' by your family, you will be considered 'dead' as a concubine. You're gonna lose all your luxury and make a living, is that worth it?" It was the turn of the Emperor who asked.

"Hamba has no doubt, Your Majesty," Mingfen replied with a confident look.

"good. Tonight go, take Jingmi with you. Never go back to the capital or go back to your family. Eunuch Kang will announce your 'death' due to illness. The funeral will be held in private" the Emperor said.

Mingfen. After saluting, the girl left the Golden Palace hall accompanied by Jingmi. Meihua began to cry, begging the Emperor to deliver Mingfen to the palace gate and approved by the Emperor.

When Meihua arrived at the Pearl Palace, Mingfen was changing into an ordinary outfit. He and Jingmi only brought enough necessities.

"Sir Ming,"call Meihua quietly.

"Sister Meihua, why are you here?"

"I want to take you to the palace gate, may I?"

"Of course." Mingfen smiled gently. "Sister-grandmother thank you for granting my request. Later if we're still a match, we'll meet again."

"Sister, you can't come back here. But brother can visit you. Tell me where you're going, so you can come whenever you want" Meihua said hoarsely.

"Since childhood I have always wanted to live in a beautiful village, on the edge of a large lake. Maybe Yinghua's village suits me."

"Yinghua Village is very far away, send a letter as soon as you get there. Here take it as a supply for you," Meihua extended a bag of gold to Mingfen.

"Sister, there's really no need to be so bothered. Brother has brought his own money, "reject Mingfen.

"Don't refuse! Bring it! I don't feel calm if you live hard."

"Thank you brother. I'm sorry."

The girl who was trying hard started crying.

"It's okay. The important thing is that you are happy" Meihua said as she hugged Mingfen. The two hugged tightly and for quite a while, both of them shed tears, as did Jingmi.

"Let's take me until you get on the horse-drawn carriage" Meihua who let go of the hug first time. Mingfen just nodded. The three of them walked together towards the palace gate. There Li Mei had been waiting with a chariot driver that Meihua had prepared. And it turned out that the chariot driver was precisely Xiao Wu himself.

"Sister, how far to take, will still be separated. Just get here. Brother come back soon, don't get sick. One more thing, please give this letter to my family," Mingfen gave Meihua a letter.

"good. Take care of yourself and your health. Be careful on the road."

The news of Ming's 'death' of honorary concubines has been announced. People were shocked to hear the announcement. The Chu family seemed to be getting a hard blow. Even Chu Fan Yao had fallen ill from hearing of her daughter's death. Concubine Ming died of a highly contagious disease, so her funeral was held in private.

The palace gave three months of mourning. The entire palace and its inhabitants wore white clothes. Even the Emperor wore his white robe embroidered with dragons.

The sun seemed to dim, the entire country of Wu was sad. On the way, Mingfen who heard the news, fainted from crying too much. This was a decision he made for his own happiness.

To my father, Chu Fan Yao was firm yet gentle and fair-hearted.

Dad, when you read this letter, maybe your daughter has gone far away from you. Please don't be sad. Take care of my father's health for me. Mingfen purposely hid this disease from you so that you do not feel anxious. Dad, trust me your daughter will be happy here. Your daughter will always wish the best to my father and the entire Chu family wherever I am.

Father, if rebirth really exists, then allow this daughter of yours to be your daughter again in the next life. Allow your daughter to be devoted to you in the next life, for in this life your daughter is not at all devoted to you.

So this letter Father, for the last time, forgive Mingfen and trust me he will be happy.

From Mingfen, the unfilial princess.

The current law official was Chu Fan Yao, the real father of Consort Ming. Passing through the various state examinations, Chu Fan Yao was appointed a law official at the beginning of Emperor Tian Yi's reign. Since the past Chu Fan Yao had always carried out her duties honestly and fairly, so the Emperor had always treated her well.

One thing that until now had been her only regret was one, unable to make Hua Rong her official wife. Hua Rong is the mother of Mingfen, who was once just a servant. Due to their difference in status, the young Fan Yao could only resign herself to the arranged marriage arranged by the family.

Hua Rong was finally only able to become her unofficial wife and live in the residence with all the humiliation aimed at her. Depressed continuously, Hua Rong's health had gotten worse since she conceived Mingfen. When finally Mingfen was born into the world, Hua Rong had to pay for it with her own life.

Deeply saddened and disappointed that the woman he loved died, Fan Yao avoided the little Mingfen. Not without reason, as she grew into a girl, Mingfen's face was so similar to that of her mother. The figure of Hua Rong who became his soulmate, returned to their Princess. It brought him a deep sadness.

It was Mingfen's face that was too similar to his mother's, which made him always get humiliation and ill treatment from the first Mother and all her siblings. However, little Mingfen was in fact very strong, growing into a kind and cheerful girl.

Now his little Mingfen, which he could not protect, had to leave his life again. The little Mingfen who had grown up, had to marry into the royal family. Now his daughter really won't be back.

The news of Mingfen's 'death' became a hard blow to him. What sin did he commit that his wife and daughter had to leave him alone in this world?

Now Chu Fan Yao was not as young as she had once been. Unlike the Chu Fan Yao that he once was, though wisdom remained visible in his every action. However one thing was certain, the current Chu Fan Yao was nothing more than an empty shell, left behind by her heart and soul. It was like going with his wife and daughter.
