The queen wiped away her tears and ordered Eunuch Qing to sharpen his ink and draft a decree. She asked the imperial guards to take the decree to Prime Minister Leng's Mansion, transport Leng Xiao's body back, and bury it immediately.
People from Prime Minister Leng's Mansion had already hung up Leng Xiao's body and were preparing to whip the corpse. The imperial army arrived with a large group of troops and read out the Queen's decree.
Although the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were unwilling, Leng Zhenhuan was dead and the Prime Minister's Mansion was leaderless and they did not dare to disobey the Queen's decree.
As for the old lady, who had fainted several times due to excessive grief, she obviously couldn't make the decision.
The Forbidden Army took away Leng Xiao's body and sent it back to Prince Yi's Mansion.
The entire palace endured their grief and prepared a coffin to bury her.
The funeral was not grand, because Leng Xiao was the one who was convicted first. Now there is a lot of discussion in the court because of Leng Zhenhuan's death. No more disputes can be caused at this juncture, so the burial was not moved to the prince's mausoleum.
She just chose a geomantic treasure land, and when the turmoil calmed down in the future, she would find a way to restore her status as a princess and move her to the prince's mausoleum for burial.
The funeral was completed in two days. Aunt Zhu cried until she fainted. When she woke up, she felt uncomfortable holding the young prince.
Not long after she was just one month old, she lost her mother. How pitiful it was.
Nangong Yitian hasn't woken up yet, but the imperial doctor diagnosed that there was progress, and his pulse, heartbeat, and breathing were much stronger than before.
He woke up on the third day after Leng Xiao was buried.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you awake?" Master Wei was standing by the bed. When he saw him opening his eyes, he shouted with joy and sorrow.
Nangong Yitian slowly turned his eyes and looked in the room. Ape was also standing beside the bed, looking at him with red eyes.
He didn't find the person he wanted to see, his eyes were a little disappointed, and his voice was a little hoarse and low, "Where is Leng Xiao?"
Master Wei stretched out his hand to press the quilt for him, and his hands froze, "Princess..."
Nangong Yitian stared at him, his face was still very pale when he woke up, and he was much thinner, but his eyes were extremely sharp, "She's not here?"
Master Wei held back his grief and turned around to tell Ape, "Go and ask for the imperial doctor. He is resting in the side hall."
Ape turned around and went out, tears streaming down his face.
Nangong Yitian noticed something was wrong, "Where is the princess?"
Master Wei did not dare to look at him, but said softly: "The princess has returned to her parents' home."
"Back to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Nangong Yitian became anxious upon hearing this and struggled to sit up. However, he had been unconscious for several days and his body was very weak, and he could not hold himself up with his hands.
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Let's wait for the imperial doctor to check it out first." Mr. Wei did not dare to say anything, fearing that the prince would be too weak to bear it.
Nangong Yitian took a breath, grabbed Master Wei's clothes on his chest, and shouted, "Speak!"
Master Wei's lips trembled, his gray eyes looked at Nangong Yitian, his legs softened, he knelt down slowly, and said sadly: "My lord, my condolences!"
Nangong Yitian looked at him steadily, "Consolences?"
His hand softened, he let go of Master Wei, and took a deep breath, "I asked you where Leng Xiao went, and you asked me to express my condolences?"
Lord Wei couldn't hold back his tears, "The princess and Leng Zhenhuan died together!"
Nangong Yitian's eyes flashed for a moment, and he stared at Lord Wei fiercely, as if he was holding his breath.
"You haven't been in good condition since you took out the nails. Ape was afraid that something would happen to you, so he used his internal power to heal your injuries. Unexpectedly, you fell into a coma. When the emperor learned about it, he thought that the princess was plotting to kill you, so he issued a letter of divorce to her. Rushed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion..."
