Chapter 683
Grand Princess Yi De looked at Mu Yunyao's extremely clear eyes and sighed in her heart: Royal Brother, there's nothing I can do for you, even sadness cannot last for too long, because I'm the Grand Princess and have many things to take care of. There are still many things I have to take care of …
Yao'er, your grandmother is fine. Today, Xu Qi came over to chat with me. Before his death, the Supreme Emperor specifically reminded him that as long as the royal family's children stayed filial for a full three months, they would not have to follow the customs of the commoners for three years. Thus, many of the ceremonies and sacrifices were gathered into the last three months, especially the first month when the Emperor wanted to lead a hundred officials to guard the Supreme Peace Palace and protect the Empress Min of the palace.
Fang Hua was too busy to come over, so she needed Mu Yunyao's help.
"There's nothing to do in the palace these two days. I'm just here to look after Grandmother." Mu Yunyao helped Grand Princess Yi De take her pulse. She felt her pulse become a lot more stable as she inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. "Where's mother? What's good for you today? I'll also dip it in bliss."
Princess Yi De was amused by her greedy look. "You are already an imperial concubine, and yet you're still acting like a greedy child. Aren't you afraid of provoking other people's jokes?"
"Grandmother!" Mu Yunyao pulled Grand Princess Yi De's arm and shook it, as if she was begging for mercy, causing Grand Princess Yi's smile to grow wider.
Senior Servant Qu saw that Yi De, the Grand Princess, had finally started to feel happy. Her heart was filled with joy. "This old servant will go to the kitchen to help Madame. I'll also help the princess take a look at what's good for her."
"Thank you, Senior Qu." Mu Yunyao nodded with a smile.
Xu Qi said, "I'll also go to the kitchen to take a look. Although I'm not good at cooking, being an assistant is still good."
"Qi'er, you've returned from a long journey. Have a good rest." The Grand Princess Yide spoke.
When I found out that you were sick, I felt like my entire body was on fire. I didn't even have time to put my luggage down before I rushed over. Now that I see that you're fine, my heart is finally at ease.
"Alright, then go. Be careful, don't hurt yourself." Seeing her insistence, Grand Princess Yi De didn't say anything further.
"Yes."
After Xu Qi and Senior Servant Qu left, Grand Princess Yi's smile faded, "Yao'er, how is the matter that I asked you to arrange?"
"I've already had the Shadow Squad secretly arrange everything. In forty-nine days, the Emperor will be buried. Nothing will go wrong."
"Alright, the two of them never looked like they were together when they were alive. After they die, we'll sleep together underground for a long time."
Mu Yunyao nodded. "Mm, I'll make sure to take care of this matter properly, but does the Emperor really not want to tell him?"
"There's no need. After you finish doing it, let this matter become an eternal secret."
"Yes."
In the kitchen, Xu Qi directed a maid to bring a variety of dishes to the Ronghua Residence. When she walked out of the kitchen, Xu Yanhan couldn't help but furrow his brows. He looked towards Senior Servant Qu and asked, "Senior, when did this Miss Xu return?"
"I've just arrived in the capital, so I've come to pay my respects to the Grand Princess."
Xu Yanhan furrowed his brows, "She's even older than Yao'er, now isn't the time for marriage?"
Senior Servant Qu nodded with a smile, "Yes, the Grand Princess also asked. She even said that after the country's funeral, she would be bestowed the right to marry, but Miss Xu refused."
Xu Yanhan placed the last dish onto a plate, and her eyes turned serious. This Miss Xu seemed to have been fond of Jun Yu in the past, but after the marriage between Jun Yue and Yun Yao was decided, she had no news of it. Now that she suddenly appeared, she couldn't help but feel worried. Senior Servant Qu, let someone secretly probe this Miss Xu's intentions. If she denies her mother's arranged marriage, then there might be someone she wants to marry. " She wanted to set up a card for Yao'er to block the admirers beside King Yue. If this Miss Xu had no other intentions, then that was fine too. But if she did, then so be it …
I'm sorry, bestowing the wedding decree, but it's not a matter of whether she wants to marry him or not.
"Yes." After experiencing so much, Madame Xu's skills had finally matured. I hope that Miss Xu doesn't have any other intentions in mind. Otherwise, the one who would be at a disadvantage would still be herself.
A month later, the Emperor's funeral had already lasted for forty-nine days. The vast funeral procession departed from the Imperial Palace and headed towards the Royal Tomb in a grandiose manner.
People knelt on both sides of the street and cried. Some of them even fainted because of their grief.
The servants of Shuntian were so busy that their feet couldn't touch the ground. They couldn't see where they were going.
Ning Junyu was dressed in a dragon robe and was dressed in filial piety. She and King Yue held onto the imperial coffin from both sides as they walked towards the Royal Tomb.
Mu Yunyao stood beside the empress Min Fanghua, looking at the white paper money dancing in the air, and listening to the earsplitting wail beside her ear. Tears rolled down from her eyes.
When the Royal Tomb was sealed, the officials were already crying so hard that their throats turned hoarse, unable to utter a single word. However, they did not leave, and after more than four hours, the crowd gradually dispersed.
The sky gradually darkened and the Royal Tomb became silent. The guards were all extremely cautious. Even though there was only the sound of the wind whistling past, they still guarded the Royal Tomb vigilantly.
In the deserted and uninhabited Eastern Tomb Mountain, a torch suddenly lit up. Borrowing the light of the torch, Mu Yunyao and the Titan King's tired faces were revealed.
Before long, a guard suddenly appeared. "Mistress, everything is ready."
Mu Yunyao nodded and turned to look at King Yue with concern. "Fourth Master?"
The corner of Yue Yang's mouth twitched. After being silent for a moment, he finally nodded his head: "Let's do it."
The shadow guard quickly moved forward and pushed against the mechanism on the mountain wall, pushing aside a flat rock that was tied up, revealing a tall and sturdy tomb.
The instant the tomb was opened, King Fu tightly held onto Mu Yunyao's hand. The strength behind the action was so strong that it made one's fingers hurt. Mu Yunyao bit her lip, feeling extremely stifled in her heart. After the Grand Emperor passed away, her grandmother called her over and had her instruct the Shadow Guards to steal his corpse. Hearing this, she almost couldn't believe her own ears, until her grandmother explained in detail,
Only then did she realize that this was the Great Emperor's own intention. He didn't want to be buried in the ice-cold Royal Tomb, he only wanted to protect his wife, who had been apologizing to him for the rest of her life. King Yue held onto Mu Yunyao's hand and walked into the tomb chamber. Although he said that this was a tomb chamber, what was constructed here was no different from a palace. Long lamps were lit one after another, illuminating the surrounding carvings and paintings, no one would have imagined that halfway up the Eastern Tomb Mountain, there would be such a tomb chamber hidden and buried by the Supreme Emperor.
The woman she loved the most. Mu Yunyao looked around her in shock. Finally, her gaze landed on the phoenix pattern coffin placed in the very center. That was the coffin of the late Empress, the mother of the Winged King …
