Arriving at the Changchun Palace, he saw his concubines and servants kneeling on the floor, all of them wailing in grief, as if they were extremely reluctant to see this dignified empress.
At the same time, the various princes and princesses arrived.
It was a rule of the palace that when Wei Wen died, he would still be the empress. No matter whether or not his name was already unknown, everyone would have to come and cry, even if they had to cry for an entire day and night. Some of the people who did not have tears in their eyes would pinch themselves to take a deep breath, and they would also cry.
Lian Ru Yue, seeing the sorrowful scene before her eyes, suddenly thought of herself. She didn't know if Feng Qianyue had the patience to arrange a decent funeral for her after she died in her previous life, or if he would just abandon her and hastily bury her in the barn?
"County Lord, County Lord, the Princess is inviting you in."
Just as she was quietly daydreaming, Zhi Li's eyes were bloodshot as he quietly walked over and said to Lian Ruyue.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Lian Ru Yue stood up and followed Xi Li into the hall. Instantly, countless pairs of eyes landed on her body.
As he passed by the crowd, he couldn't help but shed tears. "County Lord, you don't know how difficult it has been for the Princess recently."
"The empress is in critical danger. She's still young, and has suffered too much. When she was young, she was still an arrogant little princess." Lian Ruyue thought back to when she first met the Eleventh Princess. At that time, Feng Lingyue was truly arrogant and despotic. She didn't know how high the heavens were or how deep the earth was.
"No, that's not it. My princess used to be arrogant and despotic, unreasonable, but she was actually the kindest, strongest and bravest of them all. When Changchun Palace didn't have any servants, she took care of the Empress herself, herself, and the people in Changchun Palace. She grinded her palms until they were thick and rough, but she didn't cry out her fatigue. "But this time, she's in a terrible situation. Because Princess Thirteen kept bullying her, and she didn't dare retaliate. Today, just before the empress's funeral, Princess Thirteen told Spring mama to tie up our princess' deer and kill her."
What...
Lian Ruyue paused her steps, "How could this be?"
He was a simple and gentle princess, but why would she do something so outrageous? Feng Yang had always wanted to be understanding, but Feng Yang had always been gentle and considerate, so why would she do something so outrageous?
"But what weakness does Princess Eleven have that is in the hands of Princess Thirteen?" Lian Ruyue asked.
The Concubine shook her head, "This servant isn't sure either. I asked the princess, and the princess told me not to bother with it."
As she spoke, Lian Xiyue had already followed Qigong into the palace. In the empress's chamber, the servants were changing the empress's robe to prepare her for burial.
Feng Lingyue sat alone on the ground, leaning against a nearby chair. Her eyes were rimmed red, and her gaze was dreamy. Her appearance was like a fragile porcelain doll, as if it would break apart at a touch.
The entire hall was empty, making it seem even more lonely and desolate.
Lian Ruyue's heart slightly trembled when she saw this scene. She had always felt a pang of sadness in her heart. Originally, when the empress was beaten into the cold palace, Princess Eleven had already lost her former grace. Now that the empress had died, what should she do by herself in this vast palace?
She walked over and squatted down next to Feng Lingyue. Without saying a word, she pulled her hand into her palm. Her hand was ice-cold, without a single trace of warmth.
Sensing someone nearing, Feng Suiyue's lifeless eyes lightly blinked. She slowly raised her head, and when she saw Lian Ruyue's face, her lips moved, and she said, "Lian Ruyue, you're here."
"Princess, please take care of yourself." Lian Ruyue softly said.
"…" Feng Lingyue revealed a pained smile, and leaned her head on Lian Ruyue's shoulder. Her dried eyes once again filled with tears, and she choked with sobs, "I don't know why, but when I heard that you had also come, I wanted you to come in and accompany me for a while. Right now, I'm really very scared, very scared, I've never been this scared before.
The Queen Mother is dead, the Abandoned Prince has long been driven out of the Winter Palace and imprisoned in Yan Province. There is no one by my side, except for you, I have no other friends.
Lian Ru Yue felt Princess Eleven's body was shivering. Her voice was also trembling as she spoke. Her hands became increasingly cold.
"Princess, don't be afraid. You're an honorable princess, and even if the empress leaves and the crown prince is placed under house arrest, you won't be able to change this fact. Princess, you have to keep your spirits up, and don't let anyone see that you're weak. The least important thing in this palace is weakness."
Hearing Lian Ru Yue's words, Feng Jianxue's heart trembled. She slowly rose from her embrace and looked at her with sorrow and helplessness. She then sighed deeply.
"What's wrong, Princess? Is there something hard to say?" The Princess might as well talk to me. " Lian Ruyue felt something strange when she saw her reaction.
Lian Ruyue, you're right. Originally, I was an upright and proper princess, and even if my mother left and Big Brother Crown Prince was useless, no one else would trample on me. I, Feng Ling Yue, will raise my head and not be weak. "But, but …" Feng Lingyue's eyes trembled, and her voice trembled. She seemed very scared, as if she needed some strength as she tightly gripped Lian Rue's hand.
"But what …" Lian Ruyue's heart jumped as she asked.
"But what if I am not the real princess? "If I …"
"Shh!" Lian Fu Yue hastily covered Princess Eleven's mouth. She looked to both sides before lowering her voice and said, "Princess, we have ears on the wall." She was called in by the Eleventh Princess. Who knew how many pairs of eyes were staring at her!
Then, she raised her voice again. "Princess, don't be too sad. The empress's spirit in heaven will definitely protect you."
"…" Feng Lingyue sobbed a few times.
Lian Ruyue, who was closer to Feng Lingyue, asked in a low voice, "Just now, who was the one who said that to Princess?" Is someone deceiving the princess? "
Feng Lingyue shook her head and pretended to cry in Lian Ruyue's heart. She suppressed her voice and told her that she was not a princess.
Lian Ruyue tightened her grip on her hands as her heart received a great shock. Compared to the fact that the Lian Fu was not the legitimate son of the Lian Family but rather the prince, the fact that the Eleventh Princess was not the real princess also stunned her for a long time.
She suddenly recalled the end of the eleventh princess in her previous life.
Her heart sank again. In her previous life, the news of Princess Eleven's illness had spread around the palace before and after her death. Furthermore, she hadn't entered the family tree or erected a memorial tablet after her death.
Could it be!
Was it because the Emperor found out about her fake princess background, gave her to death in secret, and then declared her to be ill?
