Who is the white moonlight these days? We are just following the plot

On the fifth day after the imperial concubine of the Taifeng Dynasty was placed in her coffin, the emperor was reluctant to bury her.

It was already spring, and the corpse would rot if left for too long. The head of the Imperial Household Department was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

He went in and out several times, and finally gritted his teeth and knelt down to ask the emperor to allow the imperial concubine to be buried.

Li Zhao had not eaten for five days and was visibly thin.

"Go back."

"......"

The chief steward of the Imperial Household Department was so overwhelmed by the emperor's majesty that he dared not say anything and had no choice but to retreat.

In Yonghe Palace, everyone was walking on thin ice, fearing that they might accidentally touch the emperor's reverse scale.

The imperial concubine was framed by people from southern Xinjiang when she was about to give birth, resulting in her death in childbirth. That night, Princess Amire of southern Xinjiang, who was imprisoned in Wei Prison, had her neck chopped off by a knife.

Everyone in the palace was in danger. The Imperial Guards were dispatched to conduct body searches of everyone in the palace. Anyone without a palace badge and registered information was treated as a spy and imprisoned.

The emperor never left the imperial concubine's coffin, remained silent, and looked at the corpse in the coffin every day.

Except for Prince Ruiping and Taoist Huang, no one dared to step forward.

The days following Wen Yuan's death were all sunny and warm.

The sunlight fell on the golden nanmu coffin, making it sparkle.

Inside the coffin, Wen Yuan was lying peacefully, wearing a goose yellow brocade quilt and a phoenix crown on his head.

Five days have passed, and she is still the same as when she left.

Li Zhao's eyes never moved away for almost a moment.

Ever since hearing from Li Heng that Ji Xingyao suddenly disappeared before his eyes, Li Zhao was afraid that Wen Yuan would do the same, so for the past five days, he stayed by her side, fearing that she would disappear in the blink of an eye.

“&**￥&&&**”

Master Huang sat cross-legged at the right rear of the coffin, holding a wooden sword in his left hand, drawing talismans with his right hand, and muttering something.

He drew a few talismans with the coffin as the center, and used his telekinesis to drive his mental power, trying to find clues to the other world.

Like Li Zhao, Huang Dashi had hardly eaten for five days.

His lips were already cracked and peeling, but he didn't feel tired at all. Instead, the intense excitement made him more and more awake.

The first time he saw the concubine's body, he was very sure that the concubine came from another world.

As he walked into the Yonghe Palace, Master Huang just sniffed lightly, and the strong otherworldly aura suddenly rushed into his body, almost knocking him down.

"Another world... The breath of an other world is so strong." Master Huang covered his nose with his hands, his eyes shining, and he almost lay on the coffin.

"Master Huang!" Li Zhao stopped him.

Huang Dashi came to his senses from his huge impulse. This was the imperial concubine, and she would not tolerate his presumptuous behavior.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me." Master Huang suppressed his excitement and bowed respectfully to Li Zhao.

Nowadays, all Taoists are pursuing longevity, but Master Huang has no interest in this.

Ever since he accidentally got a glimpse of the secrets of another world, he has been fascinated by it.

But he only had the secret method, but had never seen people from other worlds. He only talked about it on paper, and was ridiculed by his senior brothers for a long time.

He refused to accept the result and vowed to find the person from another world.

He had been searching for years, and now the person from another world was right in front of him, how could he not be excited.

If the person from another world wasn't the imperial concubine, he would have touched her.

Unfortunately, my senior brother had been researching the secret of longevity for many years, but died of poisoning two years ago after taking too many pills. Otherwise, Master Huang would definitely have shown off in front of him.

Master Huang was obsessed with the mysteries of the other world and had been following the emperor almost non-stop for the past few days.

Strangely enough, the imperial concubine's body showed no signs of decay.

Master Huang felt that even after another five days, the concubine's body would still be intact.

King Ruiping said that the body would disappear into thin air in a month, and that Master Huang didn't have much time left.

He calmed down and devoted himself to research, vowing to find the secret of the other world within a month.

After the hour of Wei, Eunuch Zhou arrived.

"Your Majesty, please eat something." Eunuch Zhou pleaded in a low voice while holding the meal.

Li Zhao turned a deaf ear to it.

Eunuch Zhou watched helplessly as the emperor's robe became looser and looser, and sighed with worry.

After he tried to persuade him several times, Li Zhao became angry and Eunuch Zhou did not dare to persuade him anymore.

When Nanny Li saw Eunuch Zhou sighing, she also sighed.

She thought for a moment and said, "I'll go call Xiaoying over."

"Don't." Eunuch Zhou held Madam Li back, "Xiaoying and the wet nurse are taking care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince together. How can we let them be distracted?"

When mentioning the young prince who had just been named the Crown Prince, Nanny Li's eyes turned red again.

"I just want Xiaoying to bring the little prince here. The emperor, for the sake of the crown prince, might eat a little."

Eunuch Zhou shook his head uncertainly. After all...

He looked up at the emperor, and some words were kept in his heart and he did not say them out loud.

After a while, Xiaoying came to the imperial concubine's coffin, holding a five-day-old baby in her arms.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is crying again. I am useless and can never comfort him. Could you please hold him?"

Li Zhao lowered his eyes and looked at the coffin. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Wow, wow..." The baby's voice was as soft as a mosquito. Sakura quickly patted his back and comforted him in a low voice.

In fact, the little prince is very obedient. He rarely cries and sleeps well most of the time.

Sakura coaxed him gently a few times, and soon, he stopped crying.

The sun began to grow higher, and the little prince could not stay outside for long.

Sakura waited for a long time but the emperor didn't even look at her, so she could only leave sadly with the prince in her arms.

She looked down at the prince sleeping peacefully in his cradle and felt heartbroken.

Xiaoying was not present on the night that the imperial concubine passed away, but she pieced together the whole story from the few words that Nanny Li said.

Even though the imperial concubine once wanted to abort the little prince, at the last moment of her life, the maternal love in her bones finally overcame her reason, and she used up her last bit of strength to leave the hope of life to the child.

The crying of the child suddenly relaxed everyone's tense hearts, but the emperor discovered at the first moment that the imperial concubine had died when the child cried.

From the time the prince was born until now, the emperor has never looked at him.

Two days ago, the little prince, who had not yet been given a name, was made the crown prince by the emperor, but this still failed to change the emperor's attitude.

Li Zhao was unwilling to see the child, even though this child was the only royal heir he had been waiting for for many years.

He hates himself.

He clearly said, Bao Da.

But why did the big one die and leave behind a small one?

Li Zhao didn't like this child. His birthday was Wen Yuan's death anniversary. How could Li Zhao like him?

Childish and innocent.

But he insisted on being punished together with others.

*

The date for the imperial concubine's burial had been set, but the emperor was reluctant to agree, and the situation was at a standstill for a while.

The head of the Imperial Household Department was helpless and could only ask Prince Ruiping to persuade the emperor.

Li Heng could best understand his brother's state of mind, but he still had to consider the overall situation.

"Brother, please bury the Empress Dowager. If her body disappears in public, it will lead to countless rumors. I'm sure she wouldn't want her identity known to others."

A word to wake up the dreamer.

Li Zhao finally agreed and agreed to bury the imperial concubine.

Afterwards, Li Zhao posthumously conferred the title of Empress Jingyu on Consort Wen Yuan and named the crown prince Li Jingchuan.
