Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

In just a few steps, the eldest princess' condition took a turn for the worse, and Doctor Cui didn't even have a chance to give her first aid. She only exhaled a breath before her chest stopped rising and falling.

Doctor Cui pressed several acupoints hard, but it was of no use. The princess lay there quietly, but her gradually decreasing body temperature showed that she was not asleep.

Song Gege hadn't reacted yet until Doctor Cui silently put down his hand. She stepped forward in panic, pushed Doctor Cui away, and put her hand under the nose of the eldest princess with trembling hands. She didn't feel the weak but present breath. She touched the artery on her neck like crazy, tilted her ear to listen to the heartbeat, held her wrist with her hand to feel the pulse, but there was nothing.

When the Fourth Prince came in, she was hugging the eldest princess tightly, using her body temperature to warm her. When she saw the Fourth Prince, she revealed a fragility that was not in this world, and said, "Master, my eldest sister is still warm. Please go and ask the imperial physician. My eldest sister is still alive!"

The Fourth Prince stood silently outside the door. It was raining heavily again. Even in Fei Pavilion, there would be no more crying sounds. The owner of that sound had gone to heaven.

There were quite a few children who died prematurely in the palace, and there was a whole set of procedures for them.

If they were princes, that is, brothers whom the Fourth Prince did not know whether to call elder brothers or younger brothers, they would be buried in vermilion coffins and buried in Huanghua Mountain (near the Eastern Qing Tombs in Zunhua, Hebei). Their burial places were called "garden mausoleums" according to the ranks of concubines and princes, but the systems were different, that is, "only open graves and flat burials, without sealing or planting trees", and there would be no buildings such as tomb mounds and stele pavilions, so the system was relatively simple.

As for the burial level, it depends on the favor of the biological mother. For example, the fourth prince born to Dong Efei, who was called "my first son" by Shunzhi, died before he was a hundred days old. In order to comfort Dong Efei, Shunzhi ordered that he be buried with the ceremony of a prince, that is, everyone had to wear mourning clothes, and princes, ministers, and ladies of the inner and outer courts gathered in the palace to offer sacrifices twice a day, and important festivals had to be carefully prepared.

Princesses were much more miserable. They could only find a place with good feng shui to bury their children. Their biological mothers had no way of knowing where their daughters were buried, and even whether they had been embezzled by evil-minded people. Therefore, concubines who lost their daughters in the palace often set up Buddhist temples to worship Buddha, and put the birth dates of their children who died young under the incense burner, praying for peace and happiness in the next life.

The Fourth Prince was a bald prince himself, so naturally his children were buried quietly in a place with good feng shui, without marking. Not to mention the Fourth Prince, wasn't it the same for the Crown Prince's children? In the Forbidden City, only one person's children would receive preferential treatment, and that was Kangxi. As long as he wanted, what difference did gender make?

The palace, which is not visible to the outside world, has buried countless lives, but people are very taboo about the dead. The dead must be dealt with early, and Song Gege cannot be allowed to hold Da Gege tightly. The young eunuch in charge of this job is afraid of delaying the task, and of course the explanation given to the public is that they are afraid of missing the auspicious time for burial.

Originally, he ordered his personal maid to carry the eldest princess out, but Princess Song was like a tigress protecting her cubs. She used her body to block anyone who came to snatch the eldest princess. The Fourth Prince loved Princess Song the most because she was gentle and fragile, but now Princess Song was so fierce that no one dared to approach her.

This was not a solution, so the Fourth Prince stepped forward and scolded Song Gege, "Do you want to make it so that my eldest sister can't even die in peace?"

Song Gege was afraid of hurting the eldest princess, so she had to let go. Hearing this, she loudly retorted: "Feel it, the eldest sister has body temperature, feel it!"

The Fourth Prince held the eldest princess in his arms, feeling her slowly getting colder and stiffer, and ordered, "Take all the things you have saved for the eldest princess, as well as the little clothes she likes every day."

Su Peisheng followed orders and led his men to pack up things carefully. Jinzhan counted them one by one, "This is the gold bracelet that the master awarded me last year. That one is the gold and jade necklace given by Concubine Yi, who said it was for the eldest princess as a dowry... and that tiger-head hat was made by the princess herself. The eldest princess likes it very much. She refused to change it even though it was worn out."

Jinzhan couldn't hold back her tears. This unhealthy child brought countless joys to Lian Fei Pavilion. More than a month ago, Princess Song was still enthusiastically packing up the belongings for the eldest princess, saying that she was a lucky doll who was born with such a rich family background. When the day came for her to be exposed, the whole capital would be amazed.

No matter how many things you have, there will be a time to clean them up. Pack them up and go with the eldest princess.

Su Peisheng came back with the things and waited for the Fourth Prince's next instructions.

The Fourth Prince had personally changed his daughter's clothes and placed her in a small coffin. This was against the rules, but the Fourth Prince insisted on doing so.

When Princess Song saw this scene, she walked to the coffin in a daze and put the silver bracelet with a bell on her hand into the coffin. This silver bracelet did not suit Princess Song's identity, but the eldest princess liked to listen to sounds. In order to make the eldest princess move more, Princess Song asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make this bracelet. It was light but the bell sound was very crisp, which was convenient for teasing the eldest princess.

Everything was packed up and the coffin was closed. The eunuchs were going to carry the coffin. The Fourth Prince told Su Peisheng, "You go with him and take care of everything."

The eunuch carrying the coffin could not help but curse in his heart, this Fourth Prince is really nosy, a princess died, and he still wants people to follow him. He just saw that there are many good things in the coffin! He could have made a lot of money, but it's really unlucky. No wonder he can't raise a child.

Su Peisheng also climbed up step by step, so he knew the twists and turns here, and knew what the Fourth Prince wanted him to do. When the eldest princess was buried, Su Peisheng gave big red envelopes to all the people who worked on it, which was definitely more valuable than selling the things underground, to stop these black-hearted coffin diggers.

What about these eunuchs? They originally thought that they had to take risks to get something in return, but they didn't expect that this eunuch Su was so sensible and no longer cared about the things underground, which were much more than what they could have gotten.

Su Peisheng came back to report, stepped over the fire basin, and dipped pomelo leaves in salt water to remove the bad luck before he dared to enter the Fourth Prince's mansion. After all, he couldn't bring bad luck to his master.

The Fourth Prince was not in the front yard. He was accompanying Princess Song. In the past few days, he had converted the eldest princess' room into a large Buddhist hall. Princess Song did not care where the Fourth Prince was. She just kept writing the "Earth Store Sutra". The Fourth Prince was burning the scriptures copied with blood and ink. These scriptures could not save the eldest princess' life, so they would protect her safety after death.

The Fourth Prince was busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty and could not remain immersed in grief. He was also thinking about what had happened this time. If there had been someone in charge of the backyard who had arranged all the affairs early on and checked on the eldest princess, would this not have happened?

He turned the Buddhist beads in his hand and gave instructions after a long time. He gave the treatment of concubines to Song Gege and Qi Gege, let Yixiu take charge of the affairs in the backyard, Zhao Jia Ma to assist, Qi Yuebin to study, and Guaerjia was confined to copy scriptures and pray for the eldest princess.

Song Gege did it out of guilt, Qi Gege wanted to provide checks and balances, and the Fourth Prince still didn't dare to let Yixiu's family dominate.

The order was soon known to the backyard. Song Gege was neither sad nor happy about this. The eldest princess took her soul away, and all treatments were the same. If this was the retribution for forcing herself to get pregnant and acting arrogantly, why did they take the eldest princess away and let her die!

Liu Youyou was also praying for the eldest princess. The passing of life was never a pleasant thing. As for the two assistants arranged by the Fourth Prince, wasn't it normal for him to be so suspicious?

Guaerjia knew that she had caused a big disaster, and there was no one around her to give her smart advice, so she could only wait for the punishment from the Fourth Prince. Now the guillotine has fallen.

Wangshu Pavilion was actually the happiest, after all, Qi Yuebin had picked up a bargain. However, Qi Yuebin knew that if he showed off now, he would only bring about his own destruction, so he instead disciplined the servants in the courtyard more strictly.
