Chapter 496 The Incident At The Funeral (Part One)

"Word came from the imperial tomb that it was wet and the little grandson was seriously ill. I'm afraid he can't survive this time." Sitting opposite Yun Shang, Li Qianmo said gently.

"The little grandson?" Yun Shang squinted and thought for a moment without thinking who the so-called little grandson was.

The puzzled look in Yun Shang's eyes brought Li Qianmo back to his senses. He explained immediately, "he is the son of the former crown prince. He is three years old now. I heard he is a very smart boy. The emperor used to dote on him very much. After the former crown prince died, his son went to the imperial tomb to guard the tomb with his mother. The tomb should have been guarded for three years, but it's only been three months till now. "

"Really?" Yun Shang swirled the cup in her hand, sipped the tea, and said, "the empress is really very impatient. Now that the Prince Rui is out of the Jin City, and the eleventh Prince just went to guard a remote place, the only prince who has become the strongest in the imperial city is the seventh prince. Although the little grandson was young and had a different background, he was still the empress' grandson. The royal family doesn't have a strong relationship with their family members, let alone grandson, father and son.

"Of course it is. Otherwise how could it be a coinciden

Li Qianmo told Yun Shang that the emperor had sent two imperial physicians to the imperial tomb to treat the little grandson. The morning of that day, the imperial physicians reported to his majesty that the little kid was invaded by the moisture in the imperial tomb. If he stayed in the imperial tomb, he would die soon. After the report of the Imperial Hospital, silence engulfed the hall. After a long time, the seventh prince stepped forward and said, "father, the little kid is the only descendant of my late brother. The crown prince has passed away, but the little kid is still a descendant of the royal family. We worship the word of filial piety in the State of Xia, and the little kid guarded the tomb for brother because of it. But we can't watch him sacrifice his own life because of that. "

Xia Huanyu glanced at the seventh prince who looked so sad. After a while, he said flatly, "what do you think we should do then?"
