The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 150
The streets of the capital were gloomy as death songs echoed along the streets. The trumpet was blown so heart-wrenching. The sound of the drum knocks on the heart of anyone who hears it. The song of death makes the atmosphere of mourning more and more felt.
A man in white walked over and spread coins and white pieces of paper in front of the coffin carried by four men of great stature. There were also some female servants who spread various flower petals every once in a while.
Pei Qin Yang walked behind the chest with a flat face that looked emotionless. The concubines also followed behind Pei Qin Yang to accompany Zhu Man Xie who had been the leader of the women.
Like everyone else, these concubines also wore all-white clothing as a sign of their mourning. Nevertheless, their faces did not at all indicate that they were in a grieving mood. Their lips are still adorned with red cibabar although only faintly visible. Even their cheeks do not forget they give blush cheeks so as not to look pale. The most striking is their eyes that look shining even though their lips are tightly closed with a flat line typical of people who are sad.
Everyone on the street pulled over with their mouths tightly locked. No one dared to say anything in the quietest of times. No one discussed how Zhu Man Xie ended up dead or how he died. They simply pulled over and quietly scrutinized the faces of everyone who walked inside the entourage.
Since Zhu Man Xie had been stripped of his empress title, he had no right to be buried in the royal tomb. He will be buried at the Zhu family cemetery on the west side of the capital. Then, other than Pei Qin Yang, none of the members of the royal family took Zhu Man Xie's corpse to his final resting place. And all this did not escape everyone's sight.
After the funeral procession held at the residence was completed, most of the mourners returned home. The ones still waiting around were the nobles who had close ties to the Zhu family who still needed to curry favor with the family. Pei Zhang Xi returned to the headquarters of the Yunguang bureau to finalize the final report before finalizing his resignation procedure.
"Crown Princess, a eunuch came from the palace to give orders." Xiao Bei walked into Lu Jing Yu's room hurriedly as Lu Jing Yu was breastfeeding the little prince.
"What's wrong? Say it clearly." Lu Jing Yu handed the little prince who had fallen asleep to his nanny. The nanny knew how to behave and immediately took the little prince out of the room.
"In the front hall... Eunuch Wen came looking for you. Like there's something terrible to see from his face." Xiao Bei said in a panic.
"All right, I understand. Come with me ahead. I want to see what happens." Lu Jing Yu stood up and put on her outer robe.
In the front hall, Eunuch Wen waited anxiously. He immediately stood up as soon as he heard the sound of footsteps coming into the hall. His old face looked older as he felt anxious.
"Greet Your Highness the Crown Princess." Eunuch Wen never forgot his obligations even though he was in a state of anxiety. He bowed and saluted with reverence.
"Stand eunuch Wen." Lu Jing Yu waved her hand. Although he was not so fond of everyone who would slightly bow his body to him even though he was much younger than them, he still had to respect the customs of the existing customs.
"Eunuch Wen, please tell me what's the matter until Eunuch Wen personally comes here."
"This is the Crown Princess, I came to.ari on direct orders from His Majesty the Emperor on the advice of the imperial physician."
"Empire physician?" Lu Jing Yu muttered in disbelief.
"Yes Your Majesty. The servant also did not understand clearly, but this matter was related to the Queen Mother."
When Lu Jing Yu reached the Peace pavilion that was the pavilion that belonged to Suri's mother, the atmosphere seemed tense there. Everyone's face showed that they were feeling anxious. None of them dared to make a sound until only the sound of Lu Jing Yu's footsteps could be heard echoing along the way. Lu Jing Yu herself wasted no time and walked quickly towards the main room where the Queen Mother's room was located.
In front of the room, emperor Pei An Long sitting on a stone bench looked extremely tense. His face implied that the number one man in the empire was being anxious. While the Emperor who when the state of Suri's mother was first down that day looked flat today also showed a very visible ripple. The old man loved Suri's mother no matter what.
In the past the Emperor could maintain his composure as he was about to give up the Queen Mother. But lately the state of Suri's mother actually improved from time to time so that her hopes gradually emerged. That is why when suddenly the state of the queen mother deteriorated again just overnight, the almost unshakable Emperor majesty began to collapse. And his face looked ten years older overnight. His shoulders that were used to looking sturdy today looked withered.
Other than those two, there were hardly any other members of the royal family. They might as well have just arrived at their residence from attending Zhu Man Xie's funeral service and had not heard of it.
Seeing Lu Jing Yu coming, everyone started to move.
"Greetings Grandpa. Greetings father." Lu Jing Yu saluted the two people in turn.
"Wakeup. No need for formalities next time." Emperor Pei An Long waved his hand.
"Thank you Dad." Lu Jing Yu stood up.
"The palace chief said the last time you came here, you said some good and bad things to me. And it turned out that it was all true after the palace healer thought about it. That's why you've been doing so much better in the last few days." Emperor Pei An Long paused and sighed. He had just returned from Pei Qin Yang's residence and had news from the Peace pavilion that the Suri mother's condition had suddenly deteriorated.
"Suddenly, my mother's condition began to deteriorate today. The doctor said the condition of the mother was very worrying. If you find out about the bad good about the mother's illness. Maybe you can also help make the mother's condition stable again."
"I understand Dad. I'll see what I can do for grandma." Lu Jing Yu was unable to confirm before she learned of the Queen Mother's condition.
"Let's go in and see your grandmother."
