Chapter 409

After entering the Shouan palace, the fifteen people trembled, clenched their lower lips and dared not go into the inner hall - at this time, the coffin of the Empress Dowager was stopped in the inner hall, and the ministers dared not release it at will, so they had to wait for Lian Chengming to come back with the fifteen before they were buried.

Seeing this, Lian Chengming sighed and turned to Liu Ruyan: "stay with her. I'll go in and have a look."

The Empress Dowager's sudden death is unexpected to everyone, even Chengming, but now he can't show any weakness. After that, the Empress Dowager's death will be buried, mourn, appease the people, appease the courtiers, and there are many things waiting for him to do

The atmosphere in the inner hall of shou'an palace was quiet and dignified. The candles were reflected in circles of halo, rippling in the room. Several palace people stood aside with their heads down and hands down. Even if Chengming came in, there was no movement.

Before the lid of the coffin was closed, the Empress Dowager was dressed neatly and lay there with her eyes slightly closed, motionless, pale as a piece of paper.

Lian Chengming's hand trembled, and then quickly held the edge of the coffin.

The next day, on the court hall, Lian Chengming was preparing to arrange the funeral of the empress dowager, but the courtiers mentioned lihou.

"Your Majesty, now that the Empress Dowager has passed away and there is no owner in the harem, please set up the Empress Dowager as soon as possible to stabilize people's hearts!"

"What Lord Yang said is very true. Your majesty has few descendants. The death of the Empress Dowager has caused unrest. It is necessary to stand up in time at this time to stabilize people's hearts."

Several courtiers said a word to me. Before the Empress Dowager was buried, he was so anxious to set up the Empress Dowager. Lian Chengming had a headache. He said, "I have my own idea about setting up the Empress Dowager. Princess Hui has been in the imperial palace for many years. She has made great contributions to clearing the rebellion in the prince Qin's residence. She should hold the Phoenix seal and take the second place."

Lian Chengming then stood up, rubbed his sour eyebrows and said, "well, I've made up my mind about this. I'll retreat."

"Your Majesty -" several adults were very unhappy. Led by Yang, the father of Princess Yue, there was nothing they could do to see Lian Chengming leave. Lian Chengming didn't give them any chance to refute.

Lian Chengming walked down the steps and entered the inner hall. He couldn't help feeling sad. At this time, he didn't know whether it was good or bad to push the back to Liu Ruyan.

He really doesn't want Liu Ruyan to be involved in many disputes in the harem, but if he wants to hand over the latter position to others, Lian Chengming is very worried.

Before the Empress Dowager was buried, Qin Jiayan's whereabouts were still unknown. Now the problem of lihou was put in front of him. Lian Chengming looked up and felt a pain on his forehead.

On the same day, after going down to the imperial court, the event of establishing the queen was scattered around the imperial palace. At this time, most of the imperial concubines were vigil for the empress dowager, and those who knew the news were complaining about imperial concubine Yue.

During the three years when Liu Ruyan was not in the harem, concubine Yue was cautious and very gentle. She treated everyone very gently, which was highly praised by the harem and accumulated a lot of popularity in the harem.

Now Liu Ruyan is still a child's mind. Although lianchengming instilled so many memories into her and Liu Ruyan recovered a little, she is still a brain problem in the eyes of the public. It makes the empress imperial concubines very unhappy to let such a person replace the educated and reasonable Yue imperial concubine.

These empress concubines are new comers in the harem. They naturally have no good face for Liu Ruyan.

Jane whispered a few words to Liu Ruyan and passed the news to Liu Ruyan, but Liu Ruyan was ignorant and wanted to ask, "what is the post establishment and what is the benefit?"

But in zhen'er's eyes, Liu Ruyan knew that she could not ask such questions in front of the Empress Dowager's spirit, so she stopped talking.

Until he returned to Zichen palace, Liu Ruyan said his question.

Zhen'er sighed and explained, "empress, after you are established, you will be canonized as the queen, take charge of the Phoenix seal and manage the whole harem."

"Manage the whole harem?" Liu Ruyan was surprised, "just those people?"

After a pause, Liu Ruyan immediately waved his hand and said, "no, no, these people are fiercer than each other. How can I manage it? I can't manage it!"

"Empress!" zhen'er hates that iron is not steel. Where did anyone push the Phoenix position out? "The person in charge of the Phoenix seal must have no evil thoughts. Everyone in the harem is eyeing and full of bad water. Your majesty trusts you!"

"But... But I can't..." Liu Ruyan was at a loss and hurried back to Zichen palace. She looked tired. She didn't think about it any more. Seal it. She was just a queen and could do anything.

But Liu yuanzhan didn't feel right about this decision, so he went to the imperial study after going to the next Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of the state wants to see you." Duke Xu came in and spread a word. He felt that Liu yuanzhan's face was not very good, and he couldn't help feeling strange in his heart.

Why did Liu yuanzhan look so ugly when his daughter was about to be sealed.

"Please come in."

"Yes."

Grandpa Xu opened the door for Liu yuanzhan. There was snow outside the door. It had snowed for a long time in winter. At this time, the snow was as thick as an ankle. The falling snow was still flowing, and there was no meaning to stop.

Liu yuanzhan fell some snow on his body. When he came in, he took a picture of himself outside the door before he went in.

Liu yuanzhan's intention was generally understood by even Chengming, so he came over from behind the desk, held Liu yuanzhan in time when he wanted to salute, and said, "the Duke of the country doesn't have to stick to these false rites. Sit down."

Then let father-in-law Xu sit down and serve tea. Liu yuanzhan was no different. Lian Chengming covered up and immediately said, "I hope your majesty can take back the will behind the seal."

Liu yuanzhan raised his head and looked at Lian Chengming with meaningful eyes, "Now Princess Hui is like this, not to mention that all the subjects are not satisfied, but that no one in the back palace is willing to obey. If it causes unrest, I'm afraid that Princess Hui can't cope with it. I'm afraid I'm brave and understand your Majesty's intention for Princess Hui. Even so, I hope your majesty won't push her into such a dangerous situation. With her current temperament, she can't deal with it calmly, let alone protect herself 。”

With that, Liu yuanzhan stood up and saluted Lian Chengming with a fist, saying, "I hope your majesty will immediately take back the old minister's love for a daughter and take back the will behind the seal."

Lian Chengming originally wanted to change the topic and talk to Liu yuanzhan about something else, so that Liu yuanzhan would retreat in the face of difficulties. But he didn't want to wait for him to speak. Liu yuanzhan was so direct. He couldn't help but sigh and help Liu yuanzhan up and say: "The imperial decree has been issued, and the post seal ceremony will be held seven days later. When the Empress Dowager is buried, the meaning of the few in the court hall will be very clear. I have made up my mind and can never withdraw."

"As for the safety of Princess Hui, I will keep it. I hope the Duke believes it."
