After the death of Empress Qin, not only the sage cried out in grief and could not restrain himself, but everyone in the royal family was immersed in the same grief.Li Tai lay in front of the coffin crying and fell into a coma for several times. After a few days, he lost a lot of weight; Li Kun also knelt in front of the coffin and wept. Song also knelt silently for a long time, describing himself as haggard, as if he was going to be seriously ill.

In the face of the pain of losing their mother, the three brothers seem to have temporarily forgotten their past hatred and current fear, caring and supporting each other just like when they were young.Seeing this, Li Heng, Princess Qinghe and others felt a little less sad: at least the entrustment given by Empress Qin before her death had worked, and if she had a spirit underground, she should also feel relieved.

Li Hui followed behind the elders, and kept getting up, kneeling, sitting, crying, stopping, and bowing to the singing of the ceremony officials.After seven whole days, the unremarkable scenes seemed to have been deeply imprinted in his mind.And the grief is no longer just manifested as constant crying, but gradually penetrates into the heart.He instinctively felt that Empress Qin actually didn't want to see her children and grandchildren mourn too much and hurt her body, but hoped that they could live a comfortable life.

Although the mourning lasted only seven days, the three brothers Sage and Li Kun fell ill one after another because of excessive mourning.Mrs. Du arranged everything in an orderly manner, invited Zong Zhengqing King Jing to preside over the funeral, and troubled Li Heng to assist.After she finally breathed a sigh of relief, she also fainted to the ground in a daze during a cry.

"Aniang!" Princess Changning's pale face was enough to make anyone feel sorry for her.Immediately, Yan ordered the palace maid to carefully carry Du to the side hall to rest, and then quickly called the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment.The two good concubines from the East Palace, Yang Shi and Yuan Shi both came together to serve the sick, but were persuaded by Yan Shi to go out and continue kneeling.The East Palace has never been a calm place, she dare not entrust Mrs. Du to the care of these two seemingly kind and considerate concubine Liang.

Li Hui couldn't help thinking of the ending of Du Shi's early death in his previous life, and couldn't help feeling tense in his heart.

Not to mention that this aunt's calm demeanor in dealing with people has always been refreshing, even for the sake of the younger sister of Princess Changning, he also hopes that her life span will be longer.What's more, just as his grandfather has a grandmother, he can stay awake when he is emotionally intense-this aunt may have the same effect on his uncle.And as long as she has a certain amount of goodwill towards King Pu's family, she can influence her uncle's decision.

"Brother, will Auntie leave me like grandma... like grandma?" Princess Changning held his skirt tightly and asked suddenly, tears pouring out uncontrollably, "Grandfather is also sick, Grandpa is also sick, will they all leave us like grandma? Grandma let me do whatever I want... But what I want most is that they are all in good health, can always look at us, and always be by our side!"

Li Hui sighed softly and rubbed her head: "Of course not, they just fell ill because of too much grief, and they will get better soon. But, Yue Niang, you are already eight years old, not a child." Tong Yao. Although the elders and I will always guard you, you cannot rely on us for the rest of your life."

Princess Changning was stunned. As the eldest daughter, she was really well protected by Li Kun and Mrs. Du, and she almost grew up carefree until now.Therefore, although she has gradually become sensible, she still instinctively relies on her elders to solve any problems.She is more innocent than Xuancheng county lord, Xin'an county lord and even Qin Yun. She seems headstrong, but she is actually a well-educated little lady.Moreover, the bones are still full of childishness.

Come to think of it, no matter which parents they are, they actually hope that their children can spend their lives carefree.Especially with the status of Li Kun and Mrs. Du, they can't wait to pamper their beloved daughter all the time, hold her in the palm of their hands, and keep her innocent forever.However, being born in the royal family, it is doomed that no one can be innocent for a lifetime.Only if they are wise enough and free and easy enough, can the children of the royal family live comfortably enough.

Li Hui firmly believes that to achieve the realm of "do whatever you want without breaking the rules" as my grandmother said, you first need to have a strong and wise mind and heart.Otherwise, the so-called "follow one's inclinations" is nothing more than capriciousness-because people who are not wise enough will never know what the royal rules are, when they should participate in them, and when they should stay out of them.Once encountering adversity, only such a person can seize the opportunity and stand firmly again.

"Now that my aunt is sick and my uncle is also sick, isn't it your turn to protect them? How can you make them feel at ease when you can only rely on grandpa and grandma for the rest of your life? Moreover, only if you can protect them can you protect them?" It is the filial piety of being a son and daughter." Prince Xin'an, who has only raised his nephew for a few months, has no experience in raising younger sisters or daughters, and in his opinion, raising a young man and a young lady seem to be no different.So, he told his little cousin all his thoughts without any concealment.

The long-standing concept of life has been severely impacted, and Princess Changning was stunned for a long time, Fang said seriously: "Brother is right. Grandpa and Madam are sick, I can't just cry by the side and hope they get better quickly. But , I don't know what I can do to help them...I don't know anything..."

"Don't worry, learn slowly." Li Hui reassured, "If you learn it as soon as possible, you will be able to be on your own." As the future eldest princess, of course you need to have a long-term vision and keen intuition.With the help of such a daughter, can Empress Du sit back and watch the two favorite concubines fight in safety?

Not long after, the imperial physician's diagnosis came out.Du Shi was pregnant and passed out due to overwork.Although her pregnancy is a bit unstable, but because it has been nearly three months, she only needs to stay in bed for a period of recuperation and it will be fine.However, the fate of Du's heirs is also very difficult. She suffered from a miscarriage and suffered physical damage, and this birth was so sudden that the female officials and maidservants in the East Palace were extremely nervous when they were overjoyed.

"It's good news." Because Li Hui is a gentleman, and Princess Changning is young, Yan Shi was a little vague when talking about this matter, "She has been very tired all the time. And I have to take care of palace affairs. Take a good rest during this period, maybe you can improve your health."

Li Hui probably guessed it, and suddenly felt that the matter of life and death is really wonderful.It is an indescribable grief that the grandmother passed away after a long illness; it is an uncontrollable joy that a new life will be welcomed into the royal family.He wasn't the only one who felt that way. After Li Kun heard the news, his pain was slightly relieved.The sage who also heard about this incident sent a message to him: "Your mother has always missed you, tell her this good news, she will be very happy."

Therefore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took his sick body to comfort Queen Qin's spirit.At this moment, I don't know how many people are expecting that Du Shi's child will be a young man, and how many people are expecting that this is another little lady.After all, the identity of the original wife's legitimate son has far-reaching implications and concerns the interests of too many people.Silently, there was an undercurrent surging in the Taiji Palace, East Palace and Chaotang.These undercurrents are intertwined with the shock brought about by the death of Queen Qin, and there will be a huge wave suddenly rolled up at no time and place, which catches everyone by surprise.

Because the Queen of Qin had long intended to have a thin burial, she could not afford to seal the tomb with earth, and used the mountain as her mausoleum. Therefore, the construction of Zhaoling Mausoleum had already begun under the auspices of Yan Lide, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Yan Liben, the master craftsman.Up to now, the Zhaoling Mausoleum has been completed, but the saint has not issued an order to bury the Queen of Qin for a long time.After the seven days of mourning, he kept the queen's coffin in the Lizheng Hall.Just like when she was alive, the servants in the palace still serve her as before, and the usual expenses are the same.

The ministers were about to persuade them, so the sage made another decree to adopt the common man Li Song to Shaoshang's younger brother, the king of Chu.Because Li Song committed the crime of treason many years ago, which cannot be pardoned, he was ordered to become a monk and practice, and he was not allowed to succeed to the throne; Li Jue, the king of Chu, was the governor of Jingzhou, and ordered the Chu king's lineage to go to the fiefdom of Jingzhou to take office immediately.

Adopting all of Li Song's family will undoubtedly surpass the young king of Chu who has already succeeded.But all the ministers also understood that the Su family and Li Jue had suffered so many years with Li Song, the sage really couldn't bear to separate their mother and son.So, after being completely ignored by the sage after several times of admonishment, they had no choice but to turn a blind eye.

When receiving the decree, Li Song's family was still offering incense to Empress Qin's spiritual throne in the Lizheng Hall.The rest of the royal family were also present, and everyone's face was still pale, with unconcealable grief and fatigue.

After hearing the decree, Li Song was completely stunned, and looked up at the emissary delivering the decree in a daze; Su Shi covered her lips in amazement, and suddenly looked back at Queen Qin's spiritual seat, tears streaming down her face; Li Jue shook his head in a daze. It seemed unbelievable.As for the married Yichuan county lord, ecstasy suddenly burst into her eyes, and then quickly faded away—she was married as the daughter of an abolished prince, and she has an elder brother who is heir to the king of Chu, and her life can no longer be changed .

"Grandpa...do you want to succeed me?" It took a long time for Li Song to accept the order, trembling in his hoarse voice.

The palace envoy didn't answer, but bowed his head to salute them: "I congratulate Princess Chu, King Chu, and Princess Chu."

"What's there to congratulate?!" Li Song was furious, and threw out the decree viciously, "Haha! Haha!! Auntie just left, and he...he couldn't wait—" Fortunately, Li Jing's figure Being nimble, he rushed out and caught the edict, hurriedly put it in his arms and returned to the palace to hand it to Li Jue for safekeeping.

Seeing the imperial decree is like seeing the emperor, no one has ever dared to treat the imperial decree so slowly, and the palace envoys who delivered the decree changed their faces in fright.Li Kun took a few steps forward, stood in front of Li Song, and interrupted him: "How can you be so rude to Grandpa?! Grandpa's move must have been carefully considered." As a prince, he understands it better than anyone else. This edict is also easier than anyone else.This is not only a love for Li Song's lineage, but also a solution to his confidant's troubles.

"Grandpa?" Li Song sneered, "Your Majesty is no longer my grandpa, but just my father." After finishing speaking, he gave the empress Qin's spiritual seat a big gift, and then shook his head Leaving the Legislative Hall.

Mrs. Su made an apology to Li Kun on his behalf, said goodbye to Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Wang, turned around and kowtowed to the throne of Empress Qin, and said in a low voice: "I know, this must not be A Weng's idea, but A family's. Decision... Thank you, my family... Jueqing, A'an, let's go back to the other courtyard. Hurry up and tidy up, and go to seal the land after a while."

An shi gently helped Li Jue up, but Li Jue still looked at his cousins ​​in a dazed way, and burst into tears.From then on, they were no longer cousins, but clan brothers.Although their blood is similar, they are farther and farther apart in patriarchal clan.

Li Xin and the others couldn't bear it anymore, sent them out of Miyagi, and made an appointment to visit another day, so they reluctantly said goodbye.

The author has something to say: Xiaojun Wang: As a child, how can you not protect your parents?You must not rely on them for everything, you must be self-reliant, understand?
