Chapter 280 – Who is the letter from?
“It was the night before yesterday, when I received the report.”
Zhao Su’s heart fluttered, the night before yesterday, wouldn’t that be precisely at the Subterranean Cloud Temple? It turned out that he hurried back to the palace because of this incident!
Even if she is not the people of this era, also know the royal tomb accident, means what, this year’s people is very feudal superstitious ah, in the production technology is low today, engineering collapse is a very common thing.
But in the eyes of the world is not, in their view, the reason why the emperor can become the emperor, is a royal gas, to rely on the support of the dragon vein, under the sky, but where there is a natural disaster, will make people associate the punishment of heaven, this time directly collapsed is the founding emperor’s palace, can not make the big open brain?
The key is that the emperor has only been on the throne for three years, his feet are not yet firmly established, if the rumors spread to the court at this time, it will be very troublesome. That’s why his decision at this time was so necessary.
“Why does it have to be this kind of thing?”
Even though Empress Lu’s body was still taut and straight as usual, her blanched face at this time revealed the shock in her heart. “Is something wrong with your father’s casket? Has someone been killed? Did anyone go to rescue it in time?”
“The location where my father’s casket is parked is still some distance away, and there have always been special people guarding it at all times, so it has not been affected. However, the casualties in the underground palace are not small, but I have already explained to Marquis Qingyun to make proper arrangements.”
“When something like this happens, the aftermath is the most important! It must be handled properly!”
“Yes.” The emperor nodded. “If I go out for a few days, I’ll ask you to take care of the court in the palace.”
“You can rest assured to go.” Empress Dowager Lu gazed at her eyebrows and raised her sleeves, and instructed: “Take a close look at your father’s coffin for me, and make sure not to let him be disturbed.”
“My son obeyed.”
The emperor saluted and got up, glanced at Zhao Su, and went out.
Zhao Su followed her up, and when she reached the door of the palace, the emperor turned around, looked at her and said, “I can’t take you out this time.”
Zhao Su nodded: “I know. You take care.”
“I have my father-in-law with me, nothing will happen.”
Zhao Su could see that he was pretending to be relaxed, but in that case, her heart was also a little more solid. Marquis Qingyun such a fierce general to lead the escort, naturally nothing can happen.
“The movements in the capital, you also pay attention to pay attention, wait for me to come back to tell me.”
The emperor stroked the top of her hair and took big steps down the hipped corridor.
Zhao Su or the first time to look at his back like this, tall and majestic palace, his gradually walking away from the figure of some silent squatters.
Back in the palace, Empress Lu was lost in thought, sitting against the light, she looked a little sad.
Zhao Su in the previous emperor stood position, quietly did not speak. When the emperor and queen love, through all the hardships and never leave each other, Empress Dowager Lu is strong, but also a person with seven feelings and six desires, the face of her husband’s untimely death, she must have suffered an unimaginable pain.
But under this pain, she still held a positive attitude towards life, and was happy to be a widowed Empress Dowager, feeling the beauty of the rest of her life. Maybe she tried her best to help those weak women, is used to forget the pain of the loss of spouse tool, but the wreck of the mausoleum, and her this pain to tear out.
“This life of my husband, it is not easy.” Empress Dowager Lu spat out quietly, “He was ill-fated, born excellent, hard-working, and fought out of this country, but did not have the time to spread the grandeur, and went away early. I sometimes feel hard for him, fate is too unfair, should let him live more years.”
Zhao Su advised, “The late emperor was also too tired, perhaps God is sympathetic to him, want to let him rest in peace.”
Empress Lu smiled bitterly, “This is only comforting.”
Zhao Su felt the same way. She walked over to help her pinch her shoulders, “Is it because of the heat that the Empress Dowager hasn’t had a good night’s rest? Do you want to ask the doctor to prescribe a prescription to adjust the condition?”
She was always curious about why Empress Dowager Lu was so preoccupied.
Empress Lu did not answer, but said: “The eldest princess that remnant armor, have the whereabouts?”
“I haven’t heard yet, but it is said that Duan Shu has already sent a letter to Marquis Wei Yuan. I’m sure we’ll have a clue when he returns.”
Empress Lu mused, “Did you know? At first, the emperor’s son-in-law – that is, the old Weiyuan Marquis – had once requested that the eldest princess be buried in the imperial tomb.”
“……”
Zhao Su really do not know this layer. “Then the late emperor did not agree?”
“Not did not agree, but at that time, the mountain is long and far away, the remains transported back to the capital is inconvenient, we also do not want her to be more tortured, consider again and again, in the place where she sacrificed, set aside a piece of land, dedicated to her to build a princess mausoleum. Also gave a posthumous name.”
Speaking of here, Empress Dowager Lu brow and condensed up, “at that time think thoughtful, now think about it, but think that maybe transported back on the good, then Qinglian this child will not be the initiative to ask for orders to go far away to Guangxi to inherit the will.
“I often look at my mother’s grave there, and I can’t help but miss her, can I? She only had this one son, and after all she wanted him to spread his wings and carry on the spirit of the Huo family. Now for a relics to exhaustion, if the rush out of a failure, but also not for my desire also.”
Zhao Su can’t help but be curious: “Wei Yuan Hou went to the concubine side, how to take Yan Ping County Lord also took away?”
The Empress Dowager Lu, who was serving tea, paused and turned her gaze, inexplicably deep.
Zhao Su wondered, was about to probe, Gao Shu came in and reported: “He Shangshu’s wife, Xie Shangshu’s wife, the same delivery folders into the palace to ask for peace.”
Empress Dowager Lu received the folding looked, and then murmured: “Pass them into the palace to talk.”
Said turned to Zhao Su: “The emperor out of the palace these days, we say to the public that the doctor gave the body formula, according to the usual to rest for a few days.”
On this kind of rhetoric natural they are already familiar, Zhao Su just nod and listen to it.
Out of the palace to go to the dining room on the way she can not help but pondered the previous question, Empress Dowager Lu gave the eyes, that look does not seem to be because of her topic changed too quickly and surprised, could it be that she is avoiding?
Forget it, it doesn’t matter if it is or isn’t.
She still take this time to the Tang family and Cheng family to feel clear about this before saying it.
The two Mrs. Shangshu went into the palace to pay their respects and were kept by Empress Dowager Lu for refreshments before leaving. Zhao Su made the meal and watched her eat a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup before she left the palace.
After returning to the house, she asked about Hua Qianrong. Xiao Ju said, “It hasn’t come back yet.”
Zhao Su looked up at the darkening sky and went back to her room first.
The Jade Rabbit rose in the east and shone in the north and south of the river.
While the capital was quiet, in the General’s residence on the Guangxi border, a young man with silver armor was reading under the hipped porch with a sealed document.
The dim yellow light shone down from the top, illuminating the peaks of his thick eyebrows locked together, and pulling out long shadows on the ground of his handsome figure. The mountain breeze ruffled the strands of his hair that he hadn’t yet had time to brush because of practice, but it hadn’t shaken his frozen expression.
“Brother.”
A soft female voice came from behind him, and the man folded the letter up and slowly turned around.
“Who is the letter from?”
The young girl’s stunning face caused the moonlight that filled the court to lose its color. She said in a warm voice, “I just heard that someone came from the capital, was it sent by Second Brother Duan? Is he already in the capital? Were they okay along the way?”
