gone……
Lu Zheng was startled. She shouldn't have. Even without her treatment, the eldest princess would have been able to survive for a while. How could it happen so quickly...
"Eunuch Fu just sent word that the prince is already changing his clothes. Do you want to go with me, girl?"
Death is the most important thing. Even if there is any quarrel with the previous generation, Xiao Qi is the younger generation after all. Xiao Chunan is not in Beijing, and Xiao Qi represents Lingyang Palace, so there is no reason not to go.
"Find me something plainer."
"yes."
Although the eldest princess Wen Hui was just her former patient and they had no friendship at all, Wang Zhi...
He has left Beijing, and Lu Zheng wants to go to the eldest princess's mansion on his behalf to see the elder off...
Xiao Qi stood in plain clothes waiting for Lu Zheng outside Cangwu Courtyard. Lu Zheng, who had changed her clothes and came out, saw Xiao Qi was lost in thought. She glanced at Xiao Fuzi, who shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not understand Xiao Qi's words at this time. mean.
Lu Zheng stepped forward and patted Xiao Qi's shoulder, "Let's go."
Xiao Qi nodded slightly, and the two of them walked side by side towards the door of the mansion.
The carriage slowed down before it reached the eldest princess's residence. If you listen carefully, you can hear crying coming from a distance, and Chang Ping's voice came from outside the carriage.
"Your Majesty, there are too many carriages ahead, do you want to get off and walk?"
Xiao Fuzi quickly opened the car curtain. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned. He had never seen any noble minister in the capital getting close to the Han family. What happened today?
"Master..." Xiao Fuzi turned to ask Xiao Qi for his opinion.
Lu Zheng naturally saw the long queue outside, and there were many people wearing plain clothes walking towards the Princess's mansion with sad expressions.
Xiao Qi lowered his eyes, and several people got out of the carriage. As soon as they got off the carriage, a voice called him not far away, "A Ci."
Xiao Qi turned around and saw Xiao Tan supporting the old princess of Jinyang. Behind him were the princes of Jinyang and his wife, as well as several young men, including the concubines of the prince's palace. Together with the guards and the wife, it was really a huge group of people.
The old princess's eyes were slightly red, thinking she had cried a lot.
Xiao Qi stepped forward to greet him, and the old princess raised her hand to signal him not to be polite. The old princess looked at Lu Zheng next to Xiao Qi. This must be the doctor Lu who saved her.
She was getting better and always wanted to see Miss Lu, whom her grandson often mentioned, but Xiao Tan always said that Lu Zheng was very busy and had many patients. Except for sending people to deliver things to Lingyang Palace, she had not seen anyone until now.
"This must be Divine Doctor Lu."
Lu Zheng followed Xiao Qi's example in greeting the old princess, "I've met the old princess." The old princess hurriedly raised her hand to support her. She didn't want her to salute, how could she accept the salute of her savior.
"It's not a good time to talk today. I hope Divine Doctor Lu will come to our house to be a guest someday, so that my old lady can entertain you well."
Xiao Tan told her that it seemed that what Dr. Lu loved most was food.
Lu Zheng twitched her lips and nodded in agreement. The old princess's eyes fell on Xiao Qi's face, "Your father is not in the capital either. You and Tan'er will go in together soon."
Xiao Qi nodded in agreement. The old princess turned back and glanced at King Jinyang. King Jinyang hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and Xiao Tan fell one step behind to talk to Xiao Qi.
"Grandma will take the first step. I'm afraid the Han family will be too busy today..."
Seeing Xiao Qi looking at him, Xiao Tan explained, "I heard that my aunt's last words were to keep her funeral affairs simple. But when the news came to the palace today, His Majesty was discussing important matters with a group of veterans in the Taiji Hall. Several veterans came together. When I heard that my great-aunt was gone, I lost my dignity in front of the palace..."
Xiao Tan's eyes fell on his grandmother's back again, "After hearing the news, my grandmother felt sad for a while, and then summoned the servants in the house..."
On the way here, she saw so many old officials coming to pay their respects, and Xiao Tan seemed to understand what her grandmother said.
"Grandma said that although her status is no longer as prominent as it used to be, no one was born as noble as her back then. She had a gentle and kind temperament. She helped and saved many people back then. Those people will never forget her. Of kindness..."
"As an emperor and as a courtier, death is the most important thing. Remembering the old master will not offend anyone..."
Xiao Qi glanced at the crowd in front, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. The old master was actually here too.
When he arrived at the gate of the eldest princess's mansion, where Xiao Qi looked, he saw elders from three dynasties and above with their families coming to pay their respects, and all of them cried sadly.
"Eldest Princess...Eldest Princess...I'm here to see you off..."
"Your Highness... Your Highness... I am here to see you off for the last time..."
"Your Highness... Wuwu... Your Highness..."
There were not many servants in the eldest princess's mansion, and the mourning hall at the entrance had already been arranged. However, Han Ling did not expect so many people to come. Fortunately, the old princess of Jinyang and the old lady of Zhenbei Hou brought people to help.
Lu Zheng followed Xiao Qi. She had never seen such a large-scale worship ceremony. Her eyes swept over the old people who were crying one by one. The faces on every face were full of grief, they were really sad.
Lu Zheng couldn't imagine what the era was like when the eldest princess lived, but she knew that these people who came to worship her must have respected her in their hearts.
The old man walking at the front was the old man. The old man with a white beard had tears in his eyes. Lu Zheng could tell that he was awake today.
"Your Highness... Your Highness... why are you walking in front of me..."
"My Highness——"
This heart-wrenching cry made many people red-eyed and lowered their heads to wipe away tears.
Princess Wen Hui, who was lying in the coffin, no longer felt the grief of everyone. She looked peaceful.
I wonder if he saw the person he wanted to see at the last moment of his life. The corners of his mouth even slightly raised, and he held a bamboo dragonfly in his hand...
Lu Zheng followed Xiao Qi to worship, but did not see Han Chun.
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Zheng found Han Chun in the backyard with red and swollen eyes from crying. The girl was hiding in the corner with her hands and knees folded. When she heard footsteps, she suddenly raised her head and revealed a pair of frightened eyes.
When he saw it was Lu Zheng, Han Chun's tears began to roll down again.
"Sister Lu..."
Lu Zheng knelt down in front of her and raised his hand to wipe her tears. Seeing that her expression was abnormal, he raised his hand to touch her forehead, which showed she felt a little fever.
"You are sick, why are you here alone?"
Lu Zheng casually took a pulse. Not only did he have a fever, but he also had symptoms of panic. Why was there no servant around him?
Han Chun glanced at the eldest princess's yard. She looked a little dazed and murmured: "Grandma is gone...she doesn't want us anymore..."
"She really doesn't want us anymore...Daddy will be very sad..."
"Grandma said a few days ago that she would accompany us back to our hometown in Yangzhou...she didn't mean what she said..."
Han Chun suddenly became incoherent. Her expression changed and she denied what she said, "No... no... grandma is not such a person. She has never lied to us before... grandma was harmed..."
"Chun'er!" A panicked voice interrupted Han Chun's words, and Mrs. Han walked over quickly.
She looked a little panicked, "Why are you hiding here when your child is sick? Go back to your room and rest." Mrs. Han went to pull Han Chun.
Although Han Chun hadn't finished speaking, Lu Zheng understood clearly. What she meant was...the eldest princess was killed.
