Being interrupted suddenly, Zuo Yan didn't look very good.
"The Imperial Preceptor has never asked about the affairs of the court, so why are you free to come here today? Could it be that you are dissatisfied with His Majesty's imperial edict?"
Zuo Yan took the lead and gave Qing Xuan a big hat.
Unexpectedly, Qingxuan looked at him with disdain and suspicion.
"The ancestors of the Lan Kingdom have taught that in all royal funerals, someone must chant sutras, pray for blessings, calculate the auspicious time, and bury according to etiquette. Otherwise, the soul will not rest in peace under the nine springs."
The last sentence "no rest" seems to be announcing something.
Concubine Zuo, who had always looked gloomy, was stunned for a moment, and finally noticed something was wrong.
Qingxuan's face was expressionless and he just continued, "Today is not the right day for burial, sacrifice, enshrinement, and breaking of the ground. I dare to ask the Prime Minister, why did the second prince's funeral be chosen in such a hurry today?"
As soon as these words came out, Zuo Yan's expression changed.
You must know that it is better to seize power sooner rather than later, and of course to avoid long nights and dreams as much as possible.
Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to Jiang An's funeral. He just buried it as quickly as possible just for today's imperial edict.
However... this Qingxuan has always come and gone like a fairy, and even disappeared some time ago.
I also sent people to check, but I couldn't find any trace of him. Why did he suddenly come back today?
Qingxuan's words were not serious, but they not only caused the officials to whisper, but even Concubine Li, who was standing at the front, changed her face.
She turned back suddenly and looked at her brother in disbelief.
An'er was her biological child, and she died suddenly, and she was heartbroken.
But her brother promised her that she would give Jiang An a grand funeral.
Today's funeral, which was rushed out, was actually quite grand, so Concubine Li didn't doubt that he was there at first. Although the day was a little rushed, the deceased was the most important.
Unexpectedly, something happened regarding the edict.
She knew what Zuo Yan was thinking, but... she couldn't wait to announce the matter through An'er's funeral, and even... didn't even read the almanac. This was to make her An'er unable to rest in peace.
??!
This is the brother who has always been with me!
Even... even why was his brother so happy when An'er died?!
Was this matter instigated by the elder brother himself? Did he not even want the puppet emperor anymore and wanted to sit on the throne himself to satisfy his ambitions?
Countless thoughts were brewing in Concubine Zuo's mind, and she looked at Prime Minister Zuo in disbelief.
Beside him, a pair of plain hands quietly helped him up.
"Mother, my condolences!" Jiang Shu's eyes were red and she quietly helped her up.
These days, no one dared to face Concubine Zuo's anger. Only Jiang Shu, even if she was beaten, just remained silent to express her loyalty.
At first, Concubine Zuo was suspicious of Jiang Shu.
But she also knew that this could not be Jiang Shu at all. She had no real power and had not even left the house these days.
Even if I really couldn't help but ask her once, she would just answer calmly:
"My son truly regards his mother-in-law as his mother."
Because of this, Concubine Zuo let down her guard.
Looking at it now, is this really the case?!
She grabbed Jiang Shu's arm as if asking for help, but Jiang Shu let her hold him, with a sad expression on his face, but his eyes were deep and calm.
She suppressed the hatred in her heart and forced herself to calm down.
"Come here, please send Concubine Zuo back first!" Jiang Shu burst into tears and patted Concubine Zuo's hand in a comforting manner.
"Don't worry, mother, I'll go talk to the Prime Minister about your highness's affairs!"
Well, if you chat for a few words, the other party will be pissed off sooner or later.
The hall was still in chaos, Zuo Yan's face was extremely ugly, but facing Qingxuan, he couldn't say anything.
I just kept having doubts in my heart.
After Jiang He's accident, Qing Xuan disappeared. Now it seems... maybe Jiang He was saved by Qing Xuan?
No, it's impossible. Diancheng is so far away from Chongzhou, and the time difference doesn't allow it.
The only possibility is...Does Qingxuan also want to be the emperor?
