Chapter 256
This is a mountain forest, and there is silence all around. From time to time, a dark wind blows over the tombs, accompanied by the strange chirping of insects, which is strange and terrifying.
Cao Qian got out of the car, carefully looked around and asked, "Everything is ready."
"It's done." The confidant replied.
"Move quickly." Cao Qian raised his feet and walked to the cemetery without fear.
The confidants lifted the stiff Master Cao from the car, entered the cemetery, and placed him in the coffin that had been prepared.
Several people waiting here immediately closed the coffin lid and carried the coffin for burial.
Master Cao has been ill for many years, and his tomb has been repaired long ago.
This is the ancestral tomb of the Cao family. Cao Qian stood in front of the tomb and watched Grand Master Cao being buried.
"Sir." The confidant brought a basket of incense candles and paper money.
Cao Qian took it, knelt down and lit it.
After burning the paper money and putting incense candles, Cao Qian kowtowed several times with a look of shame on his face.
Grand Master Cao of the Rongguang I Dynasty died, but he was not buried with splendor, but was buried in such an inhumane way.
"Sir, it's getting late." The confidant reminded him in a low voice.
Cao Qian stood up and said sternly: "Watch day and night, and don't let anyone get close."
"Yes." The confidant responded cautiously.
After taking one last look, Cao Qian got into the carriage wearing a black robe and left quickly.
In more than an hour, it would be daybreak, and he would have to rush back to Cao Mansion, change into court clothes, and go to court.
Before dawn, Yu Zheng got up as usual, changed into court clothes, washed up and went to court.
"Master, there is something going on in the Cao family." Zhufeng reported in a low voice.
Hearing this, Yu Zheng went to the study.
The secret guard waiting in the house saw Yu Zheng and immediately saluted.
"Say." Yu Zheng looked solemn.
The secret guard reported what he saw at night truthfully.
Yu Zheng was shocked when he heard this: "Master Cao is dead?"
The secret guard said: "My subordinates were far away and could not see the person clearly, but Mr. Cao knelt down and burned the paper money and kowtowed."
In this case, the person buried must be Grand Master Cao.
But when Master Cao died, the Cao family did not hold a funeral and buried him quietly behind his back. What was their intention?
"Master." Zhuiyun called.
Yu Zheng knew it was time to go to court.
Before leaving, he ordered: "Keep staring at Cao Qian."
"Yes." The secret guard took the order.
On the carriage going to court, Yu Zheng thought about it and probably guessed Cao Qian's intention.
Cao Qian deliberately held a big birthday party to make Grand Master Cao appear, and then concealed the news of his death and buried him quietly. Cao Qian wanted the world to think that Grand Master Cao was still alive, so as to maintain the stability of the Cao family.
Cao Qian's move was quite cruel.
When he arrived at the court, Yu Zheng observed Cao Qian calmly and saw that his expression was heavy and his eyes were tinged with black and blue, obviously he had not slept all night.
So filial.
After the dispersion of the dynasty, Cao Qian did not leave the palace immediately, but went to the Queen's Yongning Palace.
The queen, dressed in plain clothes, had been waiting for a long time. When she saw him coming, she hurriedly got up and ordered the palace door to be closed.
"Father, he..." When the queen spoke, her voice was choked with sobs, and tears burst into her eyes uncontrollably.
Cao Qian nodded at her: "I have buried my father and things went smoothly."
The queen wiped her tears and choked: "Thank you for your hard work."
From the time she returned to the palace on the night of the birthday banquet, the queen quietly observed her mourning in Yongning Palace.
But all she could do was to kneel in the direction of Cao's mansion until midnight every night, not even daring to burn a piece of paper or a stick of incense.
Such filial piety is really shameful.
There was silence in the hall for a moment, and Cao Qian said solemnly: "Opportunities are hard to come by, we must seize them."
The queen nodded with red eyes: "Go ahead and do it."
"The prince's side..." Cao Qian hesitated slightly.
"You can't tell him." The queen was very firm.
She knew her son's temperament very well.
"After it's done, it doesn't matter what he does. But before it's done, we must not let him know half of it, otherwise my father's hard work will be in vain."
