The news of the emperor's death spread throughout Jingguo in an instant. The palace was completely deserted, and the clothes of all the palace residents were changed to plain white.
Shen Luoxi walked along the palace road with Xiao Yueze and Xue Yu. The palace people along the way saluted her, then lowered their heads and sobbed.
The crying echoed intermittently in the palace, making the atmosphere in the entire palace very depressing.
"Hey, the late emperor has passed away, and the prince is so busy that he can't be seen. The princess has to go back and forth between the palace and the palace all day long, which is really hard." Xueyu said in a low voice.
Shen Luoxi didn't take it seriously, it wouldn't last long.
But now there is a problem. Cang Yunxuan previously said that he would write a letter to He Li, but now it has been several days and there is no movement in He Li Shu.
She mentioned it to Cang Yunxuan directly several times, but Cang Yunxuan would deal with it every time.
After many times, Shen Luoxi could tell that Cang Yunxuan was deliberately delaying it, but now the late emperor's funeral and Cang Yunxuan's enthronement were important matters at the moment. Although she could see Cang Yunxuan, she couldn't say a few words. .
Most of the time, she stood aside and watched Cang Yunxuan talking to the ministers like a decoration. She really couldn't wait for Cang Yunxuan to finish his work and left first.
Shen Luoxi stood in front of the imperial study room. The eunuch outside the door flattered, "See the princess. His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is discussing state affairs with the ministers inside. His Highness has previously ordered that if the princess comes, he will have his servants take the princess to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Shen Luoxi was confused, "Why did the prince ask me to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs? I can't help much with the enthronement."
The eunuch smiled and said: "Why can't the princess help? His Royal Highness Prince Xuan has ascended the throne, and the princess is the mother of a country. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is rushing to make the clothes for His Royal Highness Prince Xuan to ascend the throne these days, but there are no clothes for the princess yet."
"Princess, please hurry up and follow the servants so that the Ministry of Internal Affairs can prepare. Otherwise, it will be bad if the ceremony is delayed."
Shen Luoxi remained silent, Cang Yunxuan had no intention of letting her go.
If she followed the eunuch to the House of Internal Affairs and talked about this matter with Cang Yunxuan, Cang Yunxuan would definitely find other reasons to deal with her and delay the divorce again and again.
After all, from ancient times to the present, there is no precedent for emperors and empresses to reconcile.
Shen Luoxi narrowed his eyes slightly and ignored the eunuch's words, but asked: "How long have you been talking to your Lordships for how long?"
The eunuch looked at her in confusion, not understanding why she asked so suddenly, but he still answered honestly, "About half an hour."
Shen Luoxi nodded, "Go in and deliver a message for me, saying that I have something urgent to see the prince."
"this……"
The eunuch looked troubled, not knowing whether he should listen to Shen Luoxi or not.
"Father-in-law, tell the prince as I said, and the prince will understand."
Shen Luoxi smiled and put something into his hand, "Excuse me, please show this thing to the prince when you talk to the prince."
The eunuch lowered his head and glanced at the white porcelain bottle in his hand. The bottle was unremarkable, without even a pattern. He really couldn't tell why, but Xiao Yueze, who was behind Shen Luoxi, suddenly stepped forward and gave him a few golden beans. .
He hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I will pass on the message right away."
After all, who can have trouble with money?
Shen Luoxi watched the eunuch's back disappear in front of the imperial study room, then turned to look at Xiao Yueze.
Before she could speak, Xiao Yueze said first: "If you don't do this, the eunuch will not help the princess at all."
Shen Luoxi was helpless, "That's not what I meant, you..."
Before she finished speaking, the eunuch came out.
"His Royal Highness King Xuan lets the princess in."
Shen Luoxi raised her eyebrows, and just as she was about to follow her in, the eunuch stopped Xiao Yueze and Xue Yu behind her.
"His Royal Highness Xuan Wang said that the princess is the only one to be seen, and others do not need to follow her in."
Xiao Yueze frowned slightly, and Shen Luoxi turned to him and said, "You and Xueyu are waiting for me outside."
After saying that, she followed the eunuch and walked in.
Xiao Yueze looked at her back, a bit of irritation flashed in his eyes.
In the imperial study, Cang Yunxuan was discussing matters related to the enthronement ceremony with several ministers, and Shen Liubai was among them.
"Your Highness King Xuan, the princess is here."
Shen Luoxi and Shen Liubai met their eyes, and then saluted Cang Yunxuan, "See you, Your Majesty."
Cang Yunxuan said a faint "Yes", raised her eyes and said to the minister: "You guys go down first."
"yes."
Everyone retreated. When Shen Liubai passed by Shenluo River, his steps slowed down and his lips moved slightly.
Shen Luoxi nodded calmly, and after the ministers left, the imperial study became quiet.
Cang Yunxuan picked up the bottle and played with it in her hand, "I know why you asked the eunuch to bring this to me, but there are more important things at the moment. Why do you bother me with this matter now?"
"Shen Luoxi, don't you know what time it is now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression darkened.
Facing Cang Yunxuan's questioning, Shen Luoxi's expression remained calm.
"If the prince keeps his promise, I will not mention this matter at an inappropriate time." She looked at Cang Yunxuan coldly, "So when does the prince plan to give me the He Li Shu?"
Cang Yunxuan tightened her lips and stared at her face, trying to see signs of struggle on her face, but Cang Yunxuan saw nothing, only a hint of determination.
He secretly clenched his fists, "When the enthronement ceremony is over, this king..."
"After the enthronement ceremony is over, it will be impossible for me to leave the palace again." Shen Luoxi interrupted him, "How long will the prince delay?"
Cang Yunxuan was speechless by the rebuke. He frowned, opened his mouth and finally managed to say, "Go back first, I am very busy now."
Shen Luoxi was unmoved and directly took out a letter from the space that had been written long ago.
"I know that the prince has been busy with the emperor's death and the enthronement these days, so I have already written the letter of separation. As long as the prince stamps the gold seal, the matter will be completed."
Seeing the book of He Li in Shen Luoxi's hand, Cang Yunxuan was stunned. He thought that Shen Luoxi asked the eunuch to give him the medicine that suppressed the poison in his body just to remind him about He Li. Unexpectedly, Shen Luoxi asked the eunuch to give him the medicine that suppressed the poison in his body. Even He Lishu is ready!
Cang Yunxuan clenched her fists and gritted her teeth: "Are you so impatient?"
"Get out, I don't have time to deal with this matter now!"
He stepped forward and grabbed the He Li Shu from Shen Luoxi's hand, and then loudly asked the eunuch to take Shen Luoxi out of the imperial study.
Shen Luoxi glanced at He Lishu who was crumpled into waste paper, and the next moment he was respectfully invited out by the eunuch.
When Xiao Yueze outside the door saw Shen Luoxi finally coming out, he asked softly: "Is the princess okay?"
He waited outside for a long time, wanting to listen to what was going on inside, but the eunuchs in front of the imperial study didn't give him a chance.
"It's okay." Shen Luoxi said coldly: "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion now, let's go."
