Chapter 74: The Queen's Collapse

While all the future royal granddaughter-in-laws were pulling their hair out in the palace to memorize the royal genealogy, a big event happened in the court.

The reconstruction of the account books of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Beijing has entered the final stage. During the process of reconstruction of the account books, a large amount of corruption and deficiencies were discovered. The amount made the emperor angry. Even Sun Lao Shangshu, who had gone to Nanjing to retire, failed to save his life and was dismissed by the emperor.

Search your home.

Sun Shangshu was sentenced to Qiu, and his family was exiled to Lingnan.

So the emperor decided to redo the account books of other departments of the Six Ministries. At the local level, the BJ Household Department sent people to the Nanjing Household Department to first redo the account books of Nanzhili. Jinyiwei would also send people to assist.

In the end, Jin Yiwei really discovered a major case: seven years ago, the prince took his favorite Liangdi on a trip to the south of the Yangtze River in the name of patrolling salt.

In fact, people in the palace turn a blind eye to this kind of entertainment and don't care much about it.

But the problem is that His Highness the Crown Prince was having fun on this trip, but the money used by Jiangnan officials for his enjoyment was misappropriated money for river construction that year. In the rainy season, the river embankments collapsed, and forty people in five counties were embezzled.

Many villages were affected by the disaster, more than 30,000 people died, and more than 200,000 households of Dazhou people were displaced.

On November 24, the thirty-fifth year of Jingning, the queen died of illness in the Weiyang Palace. Before her death, the emperor named the deposed prince Prince Shen, which was regarded as the end of the relationship between the emperor and the queen as husband and wife.

However, it can also be said that the queen was angered to death in the end.

The timing of this incident was so coincidental that both the queen and the emperor knew clearly that there must be someone behind it.

However, the matter has come to this, and she can no longer turn back.

The prince was deposed six years ago, and perhaps from that time on, there was no room for change.

The queen gave her last breath, but still couldn't save it. When she closed her eyes, I don't know whether she was willing to admit defeat or die in peace.

The ministers in the court felt that the anger they had been holding back in their hearts had finally been released.

The mistake His Highness the Crown Prince made seven years ago became the last straw that broke the East Palace's back.

In order to nail this case, the only dandy Ning Yuan of Zhenbei Hou Mansion, who had been busy for more than half a month, was sleeping soundly in the Tianzihao wing of Yichun Building. Huang Huaide of Princess Pingyang Mansion rushed in and woke him up: "Get up quickly.

It’s over! The Queen has collapsed!”

"What?" Ning Yuan sat up with a pair of dark circles under his eyes and looked at Huang Huaide with somewhat unfocused eyes.

Huang Huaide then shouted at him: "Ah Zhao asked me to inform you that the Queen has died! He should have followed His Royal Highness Prince Su and the Princess into the palace by now!"

"Hey!" Ning Yuan then grinned, "If the queen dies, doesn't it mean she can't get married within a year? My grandmother can finally rest for a year, hahahaha!"

"Your Majesty, if you want to know that you can still laugh at this time, I won't chop your head off! I'll chop it off with a blunt knife!"

"Hey, isn't there no one here?" Ning Yuan shook his head, still not paying much attention.

"You change your clothes and leave quickly! If someone knows you are still sleeping in a brothel during the national mourning period, you are not afraid that the Marquis will whip you when he comes back from the north!" Huang Huaide waved his hands with a look of disgust.

In the palace.

The royal grandsons-in-law who are still in training collectively went to Weiyang Palace to mourn for the empress.

Song Qingyue prepared several handkerchiefs wiped with chili seeds in advance. She felt that she was blinded by the hot pepper. She really cried. She cried because of the pain of the chili pepper. She cried so miserably! Fang Yilan and Hu Yun'er

Meng Yuyan and several future sisters-in-law were also shocked.

I had been crying for about an hour, when suddenly a familiar-looking Xiao Huangmen came over and whispered: "Girl, you are already weak. Your Highness is afraid that you will break down from crying, so he specially sent a servant to help you to the wing."

Take a break before crying."

The dagger-like eyes of Meng Yuyan next to her immediately came to her. Song Qingyue felt that the quasi-emperor's granddaughter-in-law around her was bubbling with anger. Li Zhao was trying to attract hatred for her!

She hurriedly put down the veil, sniffed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, I can handle it, it's really fine! Just reply to him, I'm not that delicate!"

The little Huangmen didn't leave, but still advised: "Girl, don't be a slave! If you are like this, I won't be able to do business after I go back!"

Song Qingyue looked at Xiao Huangmen who looked like he was about to cry, sighed, and said, "Okay, I'll take a rest, just for a little while."

She knew what kind of temper Li Zhao was. He grew up in the military camp. No one could disobey his orders. If Song Qingyue refused to take a break, this little yellow man might no longer be able to work under Li Zhao. That was

Ruined his future.

Song Qingyue didn't want to be this evil person, she just wanted to take a break and do whatever she could.

When she arrived at the side hall, she discovered that she was not the only one being helped to rest.

But most of them were very old feudal lords. There was only one noble lady of similar age sitting behind a translucent double-sided embroidered screen, sobbing intermittently, and a very resentful cry could be heard.

This is really sad!

Feng Qi went to inquire about it and came back and said in a low voice: "Girl, this is Miss He Liu from Ningyuan Marquis Mansion."

"The one who was given the marriage gift to Prince Tai... Shenjun Prince's third son?"

Feng Qi nodded and continued in a low voice: "The third young master's biological mother was Liangdi who was taken to Jiangnan by Prince Shen seven years ago. She died suddenly last night."

"Ha." Song Qingyue sneered.

It was obviously a man who was at fault, but it was a woman who died in the end.

Does such a stupid prince still expect him to inherit the throne in the future? It's better to go home early and cool off.

But even if the third young master's future was completely ruined, Miss He Liu still wanted to marry him.

The imperial edict has been issued, and she has no way out.

It is indeed something worth crying about.

Song Qingyue leaned on the couch and closed her eyes to rest. She knelt for more than an hour. Her legs were so numb that she almost lost consciousness. Feng Qi rubbed her legs for her and said softly: "Girl, His Royal Highness is thinking of you. You should be happy."

.”

She suddenly opened her eyes.

No, it's not just Miss He Liu who has no way out. They, the wives of the emperor and the grandsons, all have no way out.

Miss He Liu just saw the end before herself.
