Comprehensive film and television: The cool life of the female supporting role after the cross-dress

After Suiyuxuan, Yikun Palace, and Lingyun Peak, Jingren Palace also burned down. And the accident was even more serious.

The deposed Empress Ulanara and her two servants died from the poison, while Su Peisheng and Xia Qian were protected and suffocated by the smoke before being burned to death. Their bodies were completely charred, with no visible skin.

There was also a "living body" that was burned to a bloody mess, unrecognizable, and half paralyzed, but still breathing.

It was impossible to tell who it was at first, and the autopsies of the other corpses revealed that they were all women and eunuchs, so the living person could only be Yinzhen, the emperor.

The Imperial Hospital was busy, taking turns to stand guard for twelve hours, while Ye Bingshang led all the concubines in the palace to kneel outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation and pray for Yinzhen who was being rescued.

It was impossible to keep such a major event secret, and important officials of the imperial court and princes of the royal family came one after another, waiting outside the palace for news.

Whether out of genuine emotion or just pretending, Concubine Qi Xinchangzai had already started crying, Concubine Mi Qi was staring at the candlelight with wide eyes, trying to force out tears, and An Lingrong was protecting her not-so-big belly, wondering what she was thinking.

"The emperor is not dead yet. Are you crying now to curse him?"

Ye Bingshang knelt in the front and turned her head to look behind her. Her Dongzhu earrings swayed with her movements and her pair of autumn-water eyes were no longer gentle as water, but majestic instead.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Qi and Concubine Xin choked up, tears streaming down their faces. They didn't know whether to continue crying or not.

"Empress, I am too worried about the Emperor. The Third Prince cannot lose his father right after getting married." Concubine Qi wiped her tears and spoke the truth.

If Yinzhen died at this time, wouldn't her Third Prince have to observe a three-year mourning period shortly after his marriage, and she wouldn't be able to hold her grandson for three or four years. She would be so sad that she wanted to cry.

Although Concubine Xin didn't say anything, she meant the same thing. Her daughter, Princess Shuhe, was born in the palace, and was much older than Wen Yi. She should be old enough to discuss marriage now. Three years of mourning at this time was really...

"The emperor is dying, and the queen mother is seriously ill. As the mother of a country, I must manage the harem for the emperor." Ye Bingshang stood up with the help of Fang Zhi, "I have decided to confer a large title on the harem to pray for the emperor's blessing."

"The Queen's sincerity will surely move the gods and bless our Emperor!"

"We, the Empress, thank you for your grace!"

None of the royal family ministers or concubines tried to stop him.

It was unclear whether Yinzhen could be saved after being seriously injured. Even if he was saved, he would not be able to continue to govern. It was a foregone conclusion that Crown Prince Hongxing would succeed to the throne. Anyone who opposed Ye Bingshang would be opposing the future Queen Mother.

"Concubine Yu and Concubine Jing were promoted to Noble Concubine, Concubine Mi and Concubine An were promoted to Concubine, Concubine An was granted the title Rong, Concubine Qi was promoted to Concubine Qi, Concubine Xin was promoted to Noble Lady, and the rest of the Concubines and Promises were promoted one level each."

Except for Concubine Qi, who was not promoted because the position of Imperial Concubine was full, Ye Bingshang did not leave out any of the others, regardless of whether they were favored or not, or whether they were her own people or not. Her intention to win over people's hearts was obvious, but it was exactly what these people wanted.

After three days and three nights of this, Yinzhen's life was still not saved.

The death knell of the Forbidden City has sounded.

"The Emperor has passed away——"

The imperial doctors said: "We are incompetent."

It is said that when Yinzhen died, his eyes were wide open and he died with his eyes open.

Ye Bingshang looked distressed and sighed, "How can the emperor, as the Son of Heaven, be buried in Tailing with such honor?"

Finally, after discussing with everyone, they wrapped Yinzhen's bloody body with white cloth bit by bit, sealing it from head to toe without leaving any gaps. (Mummy)

The country cannot be without a ruler for a day, so the four-year-old Crown Prince Hongxing succeeded to the throne, and the Empress Dowager Ye Bingshang ruled the country from behind the curtain.

Naturally, this matter was opposed by conservative old ministers, but Ye Bingshang had been operating in the palace for many years and had gained the support of many forces and concubines' families. He also demonstrated his strength and sincerity by conferring titles on the six palaces.

The maternal clan Shen Jia and maternal grandfather Liu were the first to express their support, followed by the Fu Cha clan and the Guaerjia clan.

Both sides insisted on their own opinions and the situation was deadlocked.

Ye Bingshang did not delay and directly issued an edict in the name of Hongxing to posthumously confer the title of Prince Rui on the eldest son of the previous emperor, Honghui. She also adopted the son of a powerful prince with many children and grandchildren as her heir to continue the bloodline and thus gain the support of this prince.

The second decree was to bring General Wang, the Fourteenth Prince, back to the capital to take over the imperial mausoleum and gather the military power in the northwest that had been dispersed since Nian Gengyao's death.

With Shen Jia's military power and the support of the Fourteenth Master, Ye Bingshang's behind-the-scenes rule was finally settled.

The Fourteenth Master was dressed in a dark uniform. Years of guarding the imperial mausoleum had not dulled his spirited spirit. He walked forward with a bold move.

"Your Highness, I, Aixinjueluo Yinzhen, pay my respects to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager."

He performed the ceremony in a standard manner, without any fault to be found, except for the calm and arrogance between his brows which showed his contempt, even his disobedience, for the new emperor and his son.

Ye Bingshang chuckled: "Hearsay is believing. After meeting the Fourteenth Master today, I finally understand why the late emperor praised you so much." Why does he dislike you so much?

"You're joking, sister-in-law. Fourth brother will never mention me, and even if he does, he will definitely not say anything good." The Fourteenth Master grinned and spoke in a sarcastic tone, refusing to pretend anymore.

It seems that this pair of brothers dislike each other.

Ye Bingshang raised her eyebrows and said, "The Empress Dowager is always thinking about you. You should go to Shoukang Palace to see her first, and then come to Yangxin Palace to discuss government affairs with me and the Emperor."

When the Fourteenth Master heard Ye Bingshang mention the Grand Empress Dowager, he began to show his childish emotions and no longer spoke in an overbearing manner. He thanked her and left for Shoukang Palace.

In addition to handling Yinzhen's funeral, Ye Bingshang also had to deal with many trivial matters, such as the murderer who killed the emperor and the later years placement of the late emperor's concubines.

Because traces of burning fireworks were found in Jingren Palace, and Yinzhen, Su Pei, Shengxia Ke and others died together in Jingren Palace, the court officials always believed that it was Ulanara who bore a grudge against Yinzhen after being deposed, and that was why she took revenge.

The fact that the deposed empress succeeded in murdering the emperor was unheard of and unprecedented at the time, which aroused the anger of many clan members. They all petitioned the emperor to the death, saying that only by executing all nine clans of the Ulanara family could the late emperor's spirit in heaven be at peace.

From then on, the entire Ulanara clan and their in-laws, including the lineage of the deposed empress's mother, Gioro, disappeared from the stage of history.

The family who chose to marry Qingying to the Ulanara family because Qingying guarded the Fourth Prince's tomb now regretted it deeply, but they were powerless to do anything.

Qingying herself could not escape either. Her noble pride had long been shattered by the physical and mental fatigue after guarding the tomb and the cold words of everyone.

At this time, she was unkempt, pale and thin, with chilblains all over her hands. She no longer had the dignity she had accumulated from the luxurious clothes and food in Jingren Palace. Before she died, Qingying finally couldn't hold back her tears.

She regretted that she should have listened to her aunt's arrangement and married the Third Prince. If she had become the Third Prince's legitimate wife, she would not have to suffer so much and could have escaped this disaster. But regret was of no use.
