Chapter 481: Abandoned woman from the cold kiln conquers Prince Zhengtai 39
The queen's concubine lying in the tent was as thin as a firewood, with a sallow complexion, without the plump grace and extravagance of the past.
Her fingers were cold, and her bones were thin and bulging outwards, making Shu Ange feel uncomfortable.
His Highness the Fifth Kneeled in front of the couch, his eyes were red, holding back tears, he choked: "Mother, my son only asks for your health, you will be fine."
The Empress smiled with difficulty, and looked at His Highness the fifth with nostalgia, with deep reluctance and sadness in the depths of her eyes.
She used a little force on her hand and turned her eyes to Shu Ange.
Shu Ange knelt side by side with the Fifth Highness, and said solemnly: "Empress Empress, Siniang will do her best to take care of the Fifth Highness, and will never betray His Highness in this life."
After listening to Shu Ange's assurance, the empress's knitted brows were finally lifted. After she reluctantly said goodbye, her eyelashes trembled twice and closed her eyelids.
Seeing that the Empress closed her eyes, the Fifth Highness was struck by lightning, she burst out in tears, knelt forward and climbed two steps, pulled the Empress's arm and shouted loudly: "Mother, mother."
His voice was like a cuckoo crying blood, and Shu Ange was particularly uncomfortable to listen to.
However, when the Empress and the Empress spoke to the two before, her pulse was almost silent, and now she has no voice, and her face has faded from the blood.
Seeing the Fifth Highness lying down on the edge of the bed and crying, tears soaking the quilt, Shu Ange felt a lot of discomfort in his heart, and the tears also fell for some reason.
When her parents died that year, she was not as lost as the Fifth Highness.
It is too difficult to feel the same in this world. Unless you have experienced it yourself, who can understand the sadness like the sky is falling when your parents pass away.
When the Empress was on her deathbed, she was still thinking about the Fifth Highness and whether he was taken care of. How could it not be heart-wrenching.
The Fifth Highness cried out of breath, fell on the edge of the bed, choked and said, "Mother, open your eyes and take another look at Erchen."
Shu Ange wiped the tears from his face with his sleeves, knelt down and stretched out his hand to help the Fifth Highness, and said distressedly, "Your Highness, the Empress has died, please mourn. In this Qingning Palace, you are required to take charge of the overall situation."
Her words made His Royal Highness cry even more. He bit his wrist, tears poured down like rain, and he forcibly suppressed the howl.
Shu Ange pulled His Highness's wrist out of his mouth, and then burst into tears and said, "Your Highness, just cry, cry loudly, and when you're done crying, call the palace servants in and send the Empress off for a ride."
As if the Fifth Highness did not hear Shu Ange's words, he banged his head on the edge of the bed and shouted, "My son is not filial, and the mother is blamed for my son's unfilial piety."
When a parent dies, the child is sad and mourning first, followed by self-blame and repentance.
Any previous contradictions and conflicts will be infinitely magnified at this time, becoming a pain in the heart.
Shu Ange hugged the Fifth Highness from behind, pressed his head to his chest, and patted his back lightly with the other hand.
"Your Highness, the Empress must not want to see you like this. You are the only blood of the Empress. If you give up on yourself like this, even if you are under Jiuquan, the Empress will not be safe."
The Fifth Highness endured the cry with all his strength, and his teeth chattered. He held Shu Ange's arm tightly and said word by word, "I must avenge my mother, I must sit firmly on the throne, and let my mother rest in peace."
His body was shaking so badly that Shu Ange could only hug the Fifth Highness tightly, comforting him repeatedly: "I believe in you, Your Highness, you can definitely do it."
It is said that a man does not cry easily, but before he was sad, His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness cried intermittently for half an hour, his eyes were swollen from crying, and then he stumbled to his feet.
Shu Ange wiped His Highness's tears with a handkerchief, helped him arrange his clothes, and instructed carefully: "His Royal Highness, Your Highness is not in good health now, and your maiden's
The emperor was seriously ill, and the funeral of the queen could only be supervised by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
He could not have kept the vigil in front of the spirit, but His Highness the fifth prince was like a dead tree, and he knelt before the spirit as if he were empty.
The palace servants guarded the ever-bright lantern, Shu Ange guarded the Fifth Highness, the Empress was lying in the golden silk nanmu coffin, and there was only a faint weeping sound in the Qingning Palace.
The entire palace was covered with white curtains, and the white flags fluttered in the wind. The fifth prince was holding a delicate box, and his eyes were red and swollen.
This box was left to Shang Gong to hand over to the Fifth Highness before the Empress was critically ill.
There are not only handwritten letters dictated by the Empress, but also her own body, farms, shops and property left to the Fifth Highness.
The beloved son of his parents had a far-reaching plan. Before her death, the Empress did everything she could to pave the way for Her Royal Highness.
During the national mourning, the Empress Niangniang was posthumously named Empress Shenghui'an.
After completing the seventy-seven-forty-nine-day ritual for the Empress, His Highness the fifth was just out of breath, and after only three days, the Sage passed away.
For a time, the whole country was in mourning, and all the people shouted. The palace has not been completely relieved from the funeral of the empress, and is busy with the funeral of the saint.
On the third day of the late emperor's death, the Fifth Highness, upon repeated requests from the courtiers, set himself up and succeeded the emperor before the spirit of the late emperor.
A country cannot live without a ruler for a day. From now on, His Royal Highness will no longer be the crown prince. He has become the rightful master of the Tang Dynasty.
Maybe it was because the empress's funeral was too emotional, or maybe the king of a country no longer had the qualifications to be weak, and the five halls completed the succession ceremony expressionlessly.
After the national mourning, there is another national mourning. From the royal family to the common people, no banquets, no rituals and music, and no marriage are allowed for one month.
The funeral of the late emperor was very solemn. The late emperor was posthumously named Emperor Yizong Zhaosheng Gonghuixiao, and the two were buried together in the same mausoleum.
It is another seventy-seven and forty-nine days of rituals, and when everything is on the right track, it is already late autumn.
The weather is getting colder, and the water in the court is even more muddy.
The new emperor is young and has an unstable foundation, and there is no die-hard loyalist in the court.
The envoys sent by the Jiedushi, who had stayed in Chang'an City for more than half a year and intended to benefit from the change of power, waited for the opportunity and tried their best to obtain benefits from the new emperor.
His Royal Highness's dragon chair was not hot yet, so naturally he couldn't be too offended by those who were waiting for the opportunity to take a few pieces of meat off the new emperor for the master.
But under the teachings of Shu Ange, he was well versed in the art of balance, and skillfully threw out several attractive awards, which made the messengers rush like a cockfight.
His Royal Highness especially didn't like Xue Pinggui, so they didn't let them take advantage of it at all.
Jiedushi is good to pass away, and he can even take the opportunity to play the trick of killing three scholars with two peaches.
But the eunuchs in the palace who pushed the Fifth Highness to the top were all top-notch people, but they were not easy to fool.
The wheel of history is so powerful that Tian Lingzi was still appointed as a lieutenant of the Shence Army, but Xing Huwei was also given the same official position, which could check and balance Tian Lingzi a little.
