Phoenix Hairpin - Chapter 678

[Chapter 678 Death Knell (1)]

Popular recommendation:

With the help of Queen Qiao and King Lu Lin of Xingyang, Prince Li Jing stepped out of the ice cellar step by step.

Liang Erlang personally guarded outside the ice cellar.

Seeing His Royal Highness, Liang Erlang’s eyes reddened and he knelt down.

The guards of the Royal Forest behind him also knelt down and salute: “I have seen His Royal Highness.”

“Everyone got up.” Li Jing didn’t have the strength to help Liang Erlang get up himself.

Liang Erlang banged his head three times, then got up, wiped his eyes and said, “The last general will open the ice cellar!”

Li Jingjing nodded and knelt down.

Queen Qiao also knelt down, and Lu Lin and others all knelt on the ground one by one.

The dignified emperor, who was not buried after his death, has been hidden in the ice cellar to prevent the corpse from rotting.

This is a helpless act of expediency, and it is really miserable.

Liang Erlang personally opened the heavy iron lock outside the ice cellar, called two guards, and pushed open the ice cellar door with him.

On a hot day, the ice cellar is chilling.

Mixed with an indescribable stench, it rushed into the nostrils.

Although the corpse is not corrupted, the smell of the corpse is inevitable after it has been dead for many days.

A total of five corpses were stored in this small ice cellar.

In addition to Emperor Yongjia and General Liang’s father and son, as well as the eldest prince, even the corpse of the Marquis of Guangping was placed here.

“His Royal Highness,” Liang Erlang choked in a low voice: “The last commander will go down and carry the emperor out by his back.”

Li Jing’s eyes were also red: “As a son of man, I should have carried the father and the emperor myself. I just hate that my injury has not healed, and I have no strength. I have to work for you!”

Liang Erlang held back his tears and whispered, “The last general’s father and brother are also below. The last general will memorize them one by one.”

General Liang died tragically.

Liang Dalang died heroically.

Both father and son, both loyal ministers and good generals of Great Wei, shed the last drop of blood for Great Wei.

Li Jing was in a heavy mood, but did not say much.

At this moment, nothing is right.

He couldn’t and couldn’t make any promises.

After Liang Erlang got out of the ice cellar, he quickly came out with Emperor Yongjia on his back.

At this time, the sun was hot, the sun was shining brightly, and it was a bit dazzling.

Everyone knelt, no one raised their heads, and no one made a sound.

There was only a painful cry.

Li Jing raised his head and looked at the stiff corpse that was frozen like a lump of ice, tears quickly spilling out of his eyes.

The father and emperor who looked down on the world’s wise and martial arts, died on the dragon couch like that, at the hands of the eldest son who loved him.

After his death, he was not able to be buried in a dignified burial, and has been placed in a cold ice cellar.

He once hated Emperor Yongjia, hated his father’s partiality, hated himself being neglected and scolded, hated his husband and wife being forced to separate, hated Emperor Yongjia for condoning Li Hao…

Now, looking at Emperor Yongjia, whose face was dead blue and stiff as ice, all the resentment and anger suddenly dissipated without a trace.

】

Only the pain of the heart.

Li Jing’s whole body trembled, tears were raging, and he wept silently.

Queen Qiao, who was beside her, also burst into tears.

When people die, all the grudges of the past are gone.

The so-called death of a hundred debts, all I can think of now is the benefit of Emperor Yongjia.

Lu Lin also looked up, feeling heavy and sighed.

It is really sad and deplorable that a generation of emperors who opened the dynasty should end up like this.

…

“Niangniang, His Royal Highness has returned to the palace.”

“Niangniang, the Crown Prince went down to the Wenhua Hall and welcomed the emperor into the mourning hall.”

“Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made people sound the death knell and spread the letter of mourning to the world…”

Lu Mingyu was lying on the bed, and news about Li Jing kept coming into his ears.

Li Jue and Li Xuan were overjoyed and excited: “That’s great, my father is back.”

Li Conan was also joyful, constantly shouting “Dad”.

Lu Mingyu had been on the couch for several days, but his face was still pale, and he spoke softly: “Brother Liang, don’t shout.”

Li Jing’s return is of course a great event.

However, with Emperor Yongjia’s funeral in front of him, there were laughter and laughter from the East Palace, which was obviously inappropriate.

Li Cong is still young and not very sensible.

Li Jue and Li Xuan both knew the reason, they quickly restrained their smiles and answered in unison.

The two siblings took Li Wan out and coaxed him slowly and softly for a long time.

Only then did Li Yun realize that he shouldn’t be smiling now, and the chubby face squeezed out a strange expression of wanting to cry or not: “Brother, elder sister, isn’t that the case?”

Li Xuan almost laughed.

Li Jue also thought it was funny, and said with a stiff face, “Yes, that’s it.”

Qiyun sat on the edge of the bed and smiled softly: “Niangniang, His Royal Highness is back. Niangniang can finally let go of her heart and rest in peace.”

yes!

Lu Mingyu raised the corners of his mouth and whispered softly: “The most important thing now is to calm people’s hearts, and to arrange the funeral properly. He may not have free time to return to the East Palace tonight. You keep people watching the movement over the Wenhua Hall, what’s the matter? The news, report back immediately.”

Qiyun said in a low voice.

clang!

The loud bell sounded suddenly.

Then, there was another clang.

One after another, incessantly.

Qiyun quieted down.

Lu Mingyu counted in his heart, ninety-nine-eighty-one, a total of eighty-one death knells.

This death knell means that the emperor has passed away.

At this moment, everyone in the palace knelt down, and the cries resounded through the sky.

In Yanxi Palace.

When Concubine Meng heard the sound of the death knell, her eyes darkened, her legs softened, and she fell to the ground.

The palace servants beside him turned pale in shock, and rushed over to help Concubine Meng: “Meng Concubine!”

Concubine Meng has fainted.

The palace servants burst into tears, and while helping Concubine Meng to the bed, they called for the imperial doctor.

However, the gate of Yanxi Palace has been sealed, and the face of the guards outside the palace gate is as frosty. The decree, no one can leave the palace gate.”

“But Concubine Meng is in a coma, so I have to ask the imperial doctor to take a look…”

“Please come back, girl.”

The palace servant touched his nose and turned around crying.

Concubine Meng lay on the bed with a miserable face, unconscious.

In desperation, the palace servants massaged Concubine Meng’s acupuncture points.

Concubine Meng was about to be crushed, and she woke up leisurely.

A pair of eyes stared straight at the palace man.

The palace servant was so frightened that his back was chilled, and tremblingly shouted: “Niangniang, Niangniang, are you alright!”

Concubine Meng smiled miserably: “I’m dead, I’m all dead. It’s good to be dead, I’m dead.”

The laughter was more infiltrating than the crying.

The Yanxi Palace has been sealed, and the news has been blocked at every level.

However, the turmoil in the capital a few days ago was still passed into the palace through the word of the person who sent it.

When Concubine Meng heard the bad news that the Marquis of Guangping had rebelled, she fainted.

For the past few days, she has been holding on to the last glimmer of hope.

Hope that these news are false, it is Queen Qiao who intends to send a letter to force her to commit suicide.

Now, the death knell has sounded.

Concubine Meng could no longer deceive herself.

Emperor Yongjia died.

Guangping Hou died.

Her son also died.

Concubine Meng smiled and spat out a mouthful of blood.
