C48 He wanted her to lose her soul, wanted her to cut the weeds at the roots … (1/2)
After being silent for a while, Great Deity Official suddenly said in a low voice: ”Imperial Consort Hui has a loyal personality, and is unwilling to serve others. He paused for a moment, then continued, ”Today is the Imperial Consort Hui's Empress. If one day the Shen Qing falls in love with the Lady Qiong, I wonder if Your Majesty will be as generous as he is now?”
”What did you say?” Mo Hua's heart trembled, and he raised his head to look at him.
Great Deity Official smiled indifferently, ”Please rest assured Your Majesty. Shen Qing said that he would not fall for anyone.”
Imperial Consort Hui's funeral was simple and solemn.
It was said to be simple because she was a palace maid. Other than a few close ministers, no one else had been informed about Imperial Consort Hui's funeral.
They said it was grand because of the funeral requirements. The funeral procession, the instruments of music, and even the items to accompany the funeral were all done according to the ranking of the imperial concubines.
Ye Qiongjiang wore a plain dress and stood at the entrance of the Jade Dew Hall. From afar, she watched as the Imperial Consort Hui's coffin was carried out of the palace.
There was no spirit hall, after all, it was just a ”palace maid”, and inside the coffin, there was only the robe of the Imperial Consort Hui. She had jumped off a cliff and died, and her corpse would probably never be able to be found.
Imperial Consort Hui, the Imperial Consort Hui that had followed Mo Hua for many years, was just given to another person like that …
How pathetic were the women in this palace?
Perhaps one day, it would be his turn?
If such a day ever came, how shameful, resentful, aggrieved, sorrowful, and heartbroken would be …
Ye Qiongjiang felt that she was in the same boat with Imperial Consort Hui in her state of mind before she died.
”Sister Qiong Fei also came out.”
Imperial Consort Lan, accompanied by Begonia, slowly walked over, holding a young eunuch who was eleven or twelve years old in his hand. Today, she was wearing a light purple robe with a thin pink veil covering it. It was crystal clear and beautiful like a flower.
”Greetings, big sister Imperial Consort Lan.” Ye Qiongjiang's pupils constricted as she silently bowed.
Imperial Consort Lan walked over and stood beside her. She glanced at the Imperial Consort Hui's coffin that was being carried by the servants and lightly smiled before sighing, ”Lin Hui is our sister from the past, so I have to send her off.”
The Imperial Consort Lan giggled. ”This was given to me by the emperor yesterday, and this is the first time I'm wearing it today. Elder sister's thought of sending Lin Hui off and wearing a new set of clothes also shows my respect.”
Ye Qiongjiang was extremely angered by her words. She had just let out a cold snort when she heard the eunuch Imperial Consort Lan brought over: ”Esteemed Empress Lan, those flowers are so pretty. Can I go pick them up?”
The hand they were holding together loosened. As a young boy, the eunuch let out a hint and naturally rushed out. Imperial Consort Lan, however, shouted lightly from behind, ”Don't — —”
The young eunuch could no longer hear her cries and immediately ran over. Squatting in front of the coffin, he used his front lapel to wrap the flower petals before turning his head and laughing saying, ”Esteemed Empress Lan, these flowers are so beautiful!”
Imperial Consort Lan acted panicked, ”Come back quickly, come back quickly!”
”Hey!” That flower is also beautiful! ” It was a little far and Imperial Consort Lan's voice was soft, so the young eunuch was unable to hear it.
The young eunuch saw one of the palace maids that had just been scattered from both sides and happily drilled his way to the side, reaching out to pick it up. He stuck out half of his body just in time to block the leg of the attendant who was carrying the coffin.
The attendant staggered and tilted his shoulder.
The attendant who was carrying the coffin behind him was stopped by him, almost colliding with his body, causing a chain reaction, causing the entire coffin to tilt down. With a ”Clang” sound, the coffin that was painted with the golden engravings fell to the ground, with a creaking sound, the lid was ajar, revealing the crown on the coffin!
”AHH!” The attendant who carried the coffin and the palace maid who was in charge of spreading the flowers were both shocked.
It was said that life and death were separated from death by Yin and Yang, and the dead could not see the light. Although the coffin was only a cloth, it represented the Imperial Consort Hui. Perhaps it would imbue her soul with it.
Now that the lid of the coffin was half-opened and the sun was shining on it, if there really was a soul that spoke, then it would probably be destroyed.
The lips of the Imperial Consort Lan who was watching from afar slightly curled, revealing a cold and arrogant smile.
He wanted her, and her soul would be destroyed.
”What's going on?” The loud noise at the back alarmed the imperial guards who were clearing the way. The entire funeral procession stopped, and a high-ranking officer came out of the crowd to check on the situation.
The emperor had specially arranged for this funeral to be handled with caution. Originally, the short journey from the harem to the funeral home had also included the dispatch of two teams of imperial guards to clear the way. This showed how much importance the emperor attached to the funeral home.
The Emperor and the Minister were waiting at the funeral home. They didn't expect such a thing to happen.
”What happened?” Lifting the culprit, the young eunuch, up into the air like a chick, the high-ranking officer looked at the coffin on the ground and his face changed drastically, ”Just what is going on? Where did this young eunuch come from? ”He actually dares to charge into the funeral procession!”
He angrily commanded, ”What are you all still standing there for? Why don't you hurry up and close the coffin and lift it up again? ”
