The flowers and trees were still for a few moments, then there was a rustling sound, and a palace maid emerged from the flowers and trees.

The palace maid crawled over on her knees and looked around, as if she was afraid that someone would see her.

Mo Wen saw it and said, "It's Cuizhu, the eldest maid next to Lin Guiren."

Mo Xiang asked Cuizhu coldly: "What are you doing sneakily here?"

Cuizhu kowtowed to Dongming Ziyu and said, "Your Majesty, it was Lin Guiren who asked this slave to wait for the Prince here."

Dongming Ziyu said coldly: "Say!"

Cuizhu kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is something that Guiren Lin didn't say just now. At that time, the tenth prince pinched the face of the fourteenth prince, and then the emperor also kissed the face of the tenth prince. Because the tenth prince had already washed his face several times, he had already washed his face. There was nothing that could be verified, so Lin Guiren did not say anything. After all, Lin Guiren and the Fourteenth Prince will still have to live in the palace from now on."

Dongming Ziyu narrowed his eyes. Indeed, it was no secret that the late emperor liked to kiss the fourteenth prince's face.

"I know, please go back."

"Yes!" Cuizhu took small steps, ran into the shadows, and walked along the base of the wall.

Dongming Ziyu let out a mocking sneer. His father took great precautions, but he probably died in the hands of his son in the end.

Slowly walking into the mourning hall, looking at the corpse on the coffin bed, I couldn't understand why my father had planned this life.

Unparalleled in dignity, he looks down upon the world and all sentient beings.

But he is a real loner, and the final ending is not a coffin?

Dongming Ziyu sent the imperial doctor to see the fourteenth prince, and sure enough, nothing was found on the little guy's face. The fourteenth prince was still alive, so he couldn't be dissected and examined, so the matter had to be left alone.

Of course, Dongming Ziyu did not tell the prince that there was no evidence. After all, Lin Gui and the fourteenth prince had to live.

The second day is Xiaolian, and the third day is Dalian.

Dalian is to seal the coffin lid to completely separate the world of the dead from the living.

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Zheng cried with runny nose and tears.

In the past few days, his originally gray hair has turned completely white, and his already stooped waist has become even more stooped.

He has served the emperor all his life, and their relationship is no longer as simple as master and servant.

He arranged the emperor's remains and wiped his tears with his sleeves, "Your Majesty, please go away. I'm waiting for you, old slave!"

The master of ceremonies from the Ministry of Etiquette shouted: "The auspicious time has come, let's cover the coffin!"

Eight eunuchs lifted the golden sandalwood coffin lid and placed it on the coffin.

A craftsman comes forward and activates the mechanism on the coffin lid. The coffin lid will be locked inside and cannot be opened from the outside. If it is opened by force, there will be hidden weapons, poisonous gas, etc.

After the coffin was covered, the filial sons and grandsons, concubines, palace maids and eunuchs dressed in mourning clothes began to worship the crying spirit.

Paper ashes were flying in the hall, and the cries were loud. Everyone was crying miserably, but it was not clear whether they were crying about the emperor or their own fate.

Shangguan Ruoli pretended to be pregnant with a handkerchief and wished he could go out for a breath of air. This kind of atmosphere was really not suitable for pregnant women.

Eunuch Zheng threw the last bunch of paper money in his hand into the brazier, stood up, and shouted in a shrill drake voice: "Your Majesty! This old slave is here to serve you!"

Then, he ran towards the coffin and hit his head on the corner of the coffin, causing blood to splash everywhere.

It happened so fast and unexpectedly that no one could stop him in time, and saw his white hair dyed red with blood.

Shangguan Ruoli covered Ling Yao's eyes, and Ling Yao hugged Shangguan Ruoli's neck and cried loudly, "Mother, concubine, death is terrible, Yao'er won't let you die! Nor will my father die, Yao'er wants to learn medicine. !”

"Okay! Be good." Shangguan Ruoli just wanted to calm the child's emotions now.

The prince was also quite moved and said: "I will make Eunuch Zheng the Marquis of the Protector of the Country and he will be buried with my father."

My father was suspicious and ungrateful, so it was not easy to have someone who would follow him to death.

In this way, Eunuch Zheng was buried with the late Emperor.

Because the late emperor died suddenly and there was no posthumous edict for the concubines to be buried with him, the concubines who had no children escaped the disaster.

The emperor was buried in the imperial mausoleum, and the tomb door was sealed with a bang, announcing that the late emperor had completely disappeared from this world.

One month later, Dongming Zijin held a coronation ceremony and officially ascended the throne, becoming the new emperor of Dongming with the reign name Kang.

Because the late emperor was newly mourned and the enthronement ceremony was kept simple, the memorial and credentials were sent out a month later, waiting for officials from all over the country and the other three countries in Canglan Continent to come to congratulate him.

Because there was a national mourning in Dongming, Liya stayed in the post house and stayed at home. At the coronation ceremony, she presented the credentials of King Miaojiang, saying that she would use Miaojiang as a dowry and marry Emperor Kang as his queen.

Suddenly the court was in an uproar, and the courtiers all held their own opinions. Some supported, some opposed, and some were neutral.

Emperor Kang objected on the spot. His queen would not be of a foreign race. Dongming had no reason to altruistically marry a princess from another country. He did not care about Miao territory and had no interest in Liya.

Emperor Kang didn't care if the rules were irregular. He just didn't want someone who played witchcraft to enter the palace, and he really didn't like Liya's type.

Liya's little face turned pale with anger, and she uttered heroic words on the spot: She is already his, and he is hers, and she will not marry anyone who is not her husband!

After leaving the palace, Shangguan Ruoli got on the carriage and said with a smile: "This Liya is really brave. She makes such bold words. If she really can't marry the emperor, then who in the Dongming Continent will dare to marry her?"

Dongming Ziyu said calmly: "He is a Miao princess, so he has no worries about getting married. Besides, the Miao people don't care about this either."

Shangguan Ruoli asked in confusion: "What does Miao territory mean? Using Miao territory as a dowry, does this mean that it will be merged into Dongming?"

Dongming Ziyu smiled lightly: "The King of Miao Territory was forced by Nanyun. In the past few years, Nanyun Youhan has been attacking Miao Territory and wants to take back Miao Territory."

Shangguan Ruoli remembered that Miao Territory was originally Nanyun's territory, and he broke out and became king three years ago. "So Miao Territory is a hot potato. Accepting it means becoming Nanyun's enemy and having to send troops to garrison it."

Dongming Ziyu nodded, "However, this is not something we should worry about. We should leave Beijing and go to the fiefdom."

Shangguan Ruoli nodded, but the emperor did not want to stay. If they stayed, even if they were helping, they might not know about it, and they might think they wanted to stay in the capital.

Fortunately, after the late emperor's fiefdom edict was issued, they started to make preparations. The property had been dealt with, and the things that were to be transported to the fiefdom were gradually transported by carriages and ships.

Therefore, they only need to pack their belongings and set off immediately.

Dongming Ziyu said: "Tomorrow we will enter the palace to say goodbye to the emperor, and then follow up with Guan Tianxiao and Xiao Fei to say goodbye. Let's set off early the next morning."

"Yeah." Shangguan Ruoli has no objection. He has to leave sooner or later, so he can save himself from staying in the capital and make people miss him so much that he can't sleep.

Besides, once you have your own territory, if you don't do your own construction, why are you staying in the capital and recruiting gangsters?

When they arrived at the gate of Prince Xuan's Mansion, they saw Liya waiting there with A'Zhu, two maids and a pair of guards.

Before they got out of the car, Liya rushed over and shouted: "Prince Xuan, Princess Xuan, you have to help me!"
