Chapter 282: I heard you died

"Then let's go." Yuan Shoufu glanced at him.

"Ah? Really, really let's go? Really, really, I don't have to take the exam?" Xie Yuzhou was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes.

 Remembering Lu Chaochao's expression, he also pretended to be sad.

 "Send the prince home personally." The chief minister looked at the book boy beside him.

 The little book boy replied in a low voice: "Yes."

Xie Yuzhou moved his mouth, wanting to refuse, but he was afraid that the master would not let him go, so he could only nod in agreement.

While the first assistant was not paying attention, he stuck out his tongue at his classmates, made a face, and ran out of the school happily.

Lu Chaochao just walked out of the door, his eyes rolling.

"Use my personal money to buy a rosewood coffin for my grandmother. To show my filial piety." I would like to thank my grandmother for giving me a three-day holiday.

Before Lu Chaochao climbed onto the carriage, he saw Xie Yuzhou coming out.

 "Why are you leaving too?" Lu Chaochao looked curious.

Xie Yuzhou raised his chin: "My father is dead!"

"I'm going home for the funeral! No need to take the test..." He swung his butt, as if a tail was wagging.

Looking at Lu Chaochao with dismay, don't think you are the only one who doesn't need to take the exam!

 Lu Chaochao's eyes widened in shock.

"ah?"

 "Then…then express your condolences." Dad is dead, why is he so happy?

"Humph, your grandmother is dead, and I will give you three days' leave. My father is only worth one day's leave." Xie Yuzhou looked unconvinced. It was really worthless.

 Fortunately, there is no need to take exams and no need to get beaten.

 When he left angrily, Lu Chaochao's face became a little solemn.

"The King of Jingxi is the youngest son of the Queen Mother. How sad the Queen Mother and her grandmother are."

"Jade Book, please order two red sandalwood coffins."

　　"I will send a pair to Jingxi Prince's Mansion first. Then I will go to my grandmother's house for the funeral..."

 After a while, two dark coffins walked on the street.

"Princess Zhaoyang, what's going on?" The eldest princess happened to leave the palace and saw Lu Chaochao's sedan followed by two coffins.

Lu Chaochao said with a sad face: "Eldest Princess, please express my condolences."

"Brother Yuzhou just came to announce the death of the King of Jingxi. You should give more advice to the Queen Mother and Grandmother. Grandmother is old. She...hehehe, aunt princess!"

"Hurry, hurry, help aunt!" Lu Chaochao was so anxious that he almost jumped off the sedan.

The eldest princess didn't even come up for a breath, and fell backwards straight up.

The maid behind her reacted quickly and rushed forward, barely holding her back.

The eldest princess's face was pale, her eyes were dull, and she was covered in cold sweat. She suddenly shivered violently.

"Chao...Chao Chao, who do you think is dead?" The eldest princess's face was completely pale.

His whole body was shaking like chaff, and his lips were trembling.

 She pulled Lu Chaochao to tears: "Chaochao, who died?" There was a cry in her voice.

"Brother Yuzhou just now said that the King of Jingxi is dead. You...you must express your condolences." Lu Chaochao looked at the eldest princess carefully.

The eldest princess looked at the maid behind Lu Chaochao.

Yushu and Yuqin looked at each other and said, "Just now, I did hear from Crown Prince Yuzhou that the prince has passed away."

 It's just that there's something wrong with his expression.

"Your Highness!" the maid hurriedly called.

The eldest princess was unsteady and slid straight to the ground.

"How could this happen? How could this happen! How old is Jingxi? God, how could you do this!"

"Oh my god, how should the mother bear it! If a white-haired person gives a black-haired person, it will cost the mother the life of the queen!" The eldest princess burst into tears and burst into tears.

The maid and slave could barely hold her up.

"Mother, how should I explain to my mother!" Jingxi was in his prime, why did he leave!

"He was fine in the morning, so why did he leave!" The eldest princess felt weak all over, her hair was in a mess, and she hurriedly climbed onto the carriage. "I want to return to the palace to report to the emperor, what should I do..." The eldest princess seemed to be confused.

Hurrying to enter the palace.

"Chaochao, Chaochao... you come with me into the palace, the queen mother likes you, please persuade her more." The eldest princess did not dare to accept this cruel truth, so she had to hold Lu Chaochao and not let go.

 She was already panicking.

Lu Chaochao looked helpless: "My grandmother is also dead. I have two games to attend today."

 You can see the eldest princess crying.

"Okay, okay, don't cry. I'll go with you to see the emperor's father..." Lu Chaochao led the eldest princess into the palace in a grand manner.

The eldest princess had already cried until she collapsed along the way. She cried until her voice became hoarse and she didn't even have the slightest strength to get out of the sedan chair.

The palace maid had to carry her into the palace herself.

 "Where is the emperor's father?" Lu Chaochao asked.

 "Your Majesty is in the imperial study."

In the past few days, envoys from the Southern Kingdom have come to Beijing, and officials are discussing important matters in the imperial study at night.

"Princess Zhaoyang, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, you...what's going on?" Just as the **** Wang Yuanlu was about to stop him, he saw the eldest princess slumped on the back of the palace maid, and his brows suddenly froze.

"Hurry, go and report to the emperor." The eldest princess struggled to get up.

The eldest princess's hair was disheveled, her eyes were red and swollen, she was in a miserable state, and her voice was trembling.

The maid held her hand and could feel her whole body shaking violently.

 "Jingxi, dead."

 "Jingxi passed away." The eldest princess said every word, weeping blood at every word.

Wang Yuanlu suddenly raised his head. His expression, which had always remained unchanged, changed drastically at this moment.

 He didn't have time to say a word.

 Turn around and push the door open.

"Your Majesty, King Jingxi..." With a pop, Wang Yuanlu knelt in front of the palace with a white face.

The emperor stood in front of the desk, frowning slightly: "Jingxi? What's wrong with Jingxi?"

Wang Yuanlu pursed his lips tightly and looked extremely ugly.

 The emperor noticed something was wrong and raised his head to look at Wang Yuanlu. Wang Yuanlu has been with him for many years, and he has already mastered the skill of not changing his appearance even if the mountain collapses in front of him. At this moment, Wang Yuanlu's expression was so serious that the emperor's heart skipped a beat.

 "Your Majesty, please show your condolences."

"Jingxi, I'm dead." Wang Yuanlu knocked his head on the ground and replied with a trembling voice.

  Click.

 The tea cup in the emperor's hand was smashed to pieces.

It was as if all the strength in his body was drained out in an instant, and he staggered and fell onto the dragon chair.

"You, what are you talking about?" The emperor pointed at Wang Yuanlu and asked in a hoarse voice.

Wang Yuanlu cried and said: "The eldest princess and Princess Zhaoyang came in person to announce the funeral. King Jingxi has passed away!"

Upon hearing this, all the officials knelt down in front of the palace.

 "Your Majesty, my condolences."

"The Queen Mother!" A mother's shout suddenly came from outside the royal study.

The faces of the eldest princess and the emperor darkened. They managed to get up and ran towards the door.

 I saw that the Queen Mother's whole body was weak, and she had already fainted from fear.

 "Quickly, send the imperial doctor!" the emperor shouted sternly.

The imperial doctor held the golden needle and pushed it in slowly, and then the Queen Mother suddenly lifted it up.

She opened her eyes and burst into tears.

 "Jingxi from the Ai family! Jingxi!" The Queen Mother's heart was as sharp as a knife.

"My late emperor, Jingxi is your favorite son, how could you bear to take him away!!" The Queen Mother's voice was stern, all the officials knelt on the ground, and the atmosphere was heavy
