Chapter 283: The whole city went to mourn

"Mother, my condolences."

"The legitimate son of Jingxi is only a few years old, and you still need to take charge of everything!" The eldest princess saw that the Queen Mother looked ugly, and was afraid that the Queen Mother would not be able to hold on, so she hurriedly talked about Yuzhou.

 "Yes, yes, there is also a jade boat."

"Poor Yu Zhou, his father lost his father when he was less than ten years old. What should we do?" The Queen Mother hurriedly wiped away her tears.

 "Where is the jade boat?"

Lu Chaochao showed his little head: "I don't know, maybe I'm hiding somewhere to cry."

"Mother, my father left early, and you still need to take care of everything. You can't fall." The emperor held the queen mother's hand, his eyes were red, and he did not dare to let tears fall.

 "Go to Jingxi Prince's Mansion."

The Queen Mother felt severe pain in her heart, but she did not dare to fall down, so she had to get up.

 "Mother, this is unreasonable." Some courtiers advised.

The Queen Mother's eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth and yelled angrily: "Isn't that right? That's the biological son of the Ai family. Who dares to say that it's not right?"

The courtiers had no choice but to bow their heads and retreat.

"Let's go to the Prince's Mansion in Jingxi first. Jingxi has the same mother as me, and I will personally see him off."

"There is Yu Zhou, how can he take charge of the overall situation as a child?" The emperor waved his hand and refused to allow the officials to dissuade him.

"Where is your conscience?" the emperor scolded, and everyone had to give up.

The royal family hurriedly left the palace, and the civil and military officials also hurriedly ran out of the palace.

 "Quick, quick, quick, order people to prepare mourning clothes."

　　"Go back quickly and inform my wife to come with me to the funeral at Jingxi Prince's Mansion."

The officials did not dare to hesitate, fearing that they would fall behind the emperor, and the carriages ran away.

The Queen Mother was leaning on the carriage, looking in a daze, and it was extremely laborious to breathe.

"Jingxi came to pay his respects to the Ai family in the morning. At that time, nothing was wrong at all. Why did she leave so suddenly?" The Queen Mother lost all her strength. She sent away her husband, and now she has to send away her most beloved youngest son.

 It was like carving out the flesh on the tip of her heart.

 "Probably, it's an acute illness."

"Yu Zhou is young, and I can't explain why." The emperor sighed, with deep sadness lingering on his brows.

"Yuzhou lost his father when he was only a few years old. What will he do in the future? You, last time you beat Yuzhou until he couldn't get out of bed for three days just because he gave Chaochao a drop of wine. Now think about it, don't you regret it in the future? "

 The Queen Mother looked at the emperor complainingly.

 The emperor felt guilty.

"In the future, you are not allowed to treat Yuzhou like this. Children who have been without a father since childhood are always more sensitive. I feel sorry for my Jingxi, and also for my Yuzhou...and the princess, hey." The Queen Mother raised her hand to wipe her tears.

"Whoever attacks Yuzhou again in the future, the Aijia will not spare you!"

"The Ai family has lost Jingxi, and Yuzhou is the only one in Jingxi. No one is allowed to touch him." As soon as the Queen Mother said this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Who can bear to criticize a child who lost his father when he was young?

 "Everything is done according to the mother's wishes."

"If the Queen Mother is reluctant to part with it, she can keep the jade boat by her side and let the Queen Mother teach her herself." The emperor spoke, and the Queen Mother nodded lightly.

 The eldest princess also felt extremely regretful.

 A few days ago, Xie Yuzhou was lawless and fed Chaochao wine, and she also specifically asked Jingxi to hit him harder.

Xie Yuzhou was so hurt that he lay in bed for three days.

Now that I think about it, I only feel a deep sense of guilt.

　　There were low sobs in the carriage, and the eldest princess and the queen mother shed tears.

 The mighty carriage stopped at the Jingxi Palace.

　　It was deserted outside the palace, with not a single person offering condolences.

Wang Yuanlu helped the emperor get off the carriage.

 The Queen Mother and the eldest princess followed closely behind, and Yushu carried Lu Chaochao down.

The Queen Mother wiped away her tears and choked up: "The princess is young after all and has nothing to do. Jingxi is already dead. The lanterns in the house have not been replaced yet. The white flags and other things have not been prepared yet..."

"This coffin is a gift from me." Lu Chaochao pointed to the rosewood coffin in front of the door.

She spent a lot of money to buy this all over the city.

"Chachao is very interested." The Queen Mother touched her little head.

"Hurry up and order someone to knock on the door. I'm afraid there will be chaos in the house and no one will take charge of the overall situation." The Queen Mother cheered up, her face was bloodless. Wang Yuanlu went to knock on the door himself.

　　After taking several shots in succession, I heard the concierge yawning and shouting.

"I'm coming."

 As soon as the concierge opened the door, he was so frightened that his legs went weak.

With a pop, he fell to his knees on the ground.

 He actually saw the emperor's ceremonial guard.

 "Things that you can't see, get out of here!" Wang Yuanlu ordered his people to drag the concierge away, and immediately helped the emperor to enter.

The civil and military officials had already changed their clothes, lowered their heads, and followed behind them with solemn expressions.

 Everyone walked into the palace in a mighty manner.

It was quiet inside Prince Jingxi's palace. The Queen Mother frowned as soon as she entered the door.

"What a nonsense, nothing has been arranged!" The Queen Mother felt sorry for her son who died and had no one to take care of him. She felt aggrieved and heartbroken.

"Bring the coffin in quickly and place it in Jingxi first." The Queen Mother wiped away tears.

 The servants in the palace were confused.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the Queen, and the two princesses..." The chief steward of the Jingxi Palace knelt on the ground with a confused look on his face.

 "Wait, what are you doing carrying the coffin?"

 Why is everyone crying? What are all the civil and military officials doing wearing mourning clothes? !

"Where is Jingxi? Is there any arrangement for it?" the Queen Mother asked in tears.

 "Let it go?!" The chief steward's pupils were shaking. What do you mean by this? Obviously the prince and princess have just had lunch and are taking a nap now.

 The emperor's eyelids suddenly twitched.

 He had an ominous premonition.

 "Take me to see Jingxi!" The emperor had no time to explain, so he said solemnly.

The chief steward wanted to go back and report, but everyone looked solemn, so he had no choice but to take the person to the backyard.

The emperor kicked open the door.

Xie Jingxi sat up suddenly in fright.

"You bastard, you are seeking death. Why did you make such a big fuss? I almost scared you to death..." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his beloved royal brother, the empress dowager, the eldest princess and others...

 A swarm of swarms came into his bedroom.

 He vaguely looked behind him and saw a large crowd of people, including all civil and military officials.

"What...what's going on? I broke the rules of heaven by taking a nap?!" Xie Jingxi was so frightened that he jumped out of bed and knelt on the ground.

 The princess was hiding under the covers, too shy to show her face.

The Queen Mother's choked voice suddenly stuck in her throat, and she looked at her lively son in shock.

The eldest princess's eyes were as swollen as walnuts, and she could only look at her resentful younger brother with faint eyes.

Wang Yuanlu swallowed hard.

Damn it, this is a huge misunderstanding.

"Why are you here?" The eldest princess's voice was hoarse, and she looked at him with gritted teeth.

"I'm not here, where should I be?" Xie Jingxi looked confused, and I took a nap. What the **** is going on!

"You shouldn't be here. You should be in the coffin." Lu Chaochao pointed to the dark rosewood coffin outside the door.

"Bah, bah, bah, bad luck. That's nonsense. I'm alive and well, so why should I be put in a coffin!" Xie Jingxi spat with an unlucky face.

 The emperor was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"Xie Yuzhou is spreading rumors that you are dead!"

"The whole capital is coming to express condolences to you!" The emperor said something sinister, which scared Xie Jingxi's eyes.

Hum, bang, bang.

The door of Jingxi Prince's Mansion was knocking loudly.

"Open the door, I'm back!" Xie Yuzhou squinted his eyes happily.

 Escaped the exam, and escaped a beating, how beautiful it is...

 I'm so smart!
