Chapter 427
Lu Heng took off all her clothes, but he was well-dressed. After arriving at the classroom, Wang Yanqing became angry when he saw him like this, and kicked him hatefully.
Lu Heng held her slender ankles and raised her legs: "Good, I'll talk about it later."
He continued this for a while until it was dark. After Wang Yanqing took a bath and changed into his middle clothes, it was midnight again.
After she got on the bed, she turned her back, ignored him with a cold face, and even slept with two quilts. Lu Heng was very cheeky at this time. He hugged her with the quilt from behind, coaxed her in a low voice, and pulled the quilt off bit by bit while she was not prepared.
When Wang Yanqing realized, she and Lu Heng were closely dependent again.
Wang Yanqing fell asleep in a fit of rage, and was scolding this bastard in his dreams. I don't know if she was angry and slept uneasy. In the middle of the night, she woke up suddenly and found that there was no one behind her.
Wang Yanqing was startled, and subconsciously touched the bedding next to her, and felt relieved when she felt the warmth. Wang Yanqing put on some clothes and went out, and just walked out of the bedroom, he came back.
Lu Heng didn't light the lamp, and walked back in the thin moonlight. Seeing that it was her, he hurried over to catch it, and asked in a low voice, "Wake you up?"
"No, I suddenly want to drink water."
Lu Heng lit the lamp next to him and poured her a glass of water. Wang Yanqing's drinking was just an excuse. She took a sip and looked at him quietly by holding the cup.
Wang Yanqing asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Heng sighed, and suddenly leaned over to hug her: "The news came from the palace just now that there was a fire in the West Palace."
"The emperor..."
"Sinedo Lake, the emperor is fine."
Wang Yanqing was relieved and said, "That's a false alarm."
Lu Heng was silent for a long time, leaning against her neck and said, "No. After the fire in the West Palace, it just spread to Empress Fang's bedroom. Empress Fang was trapped in the sea of fire, but the passage to the West Palace was locked, and the Empress could not be rescued."
Wang Yanqing's eyes widened, the palace was locked every night, and no one was waiting to leave the Forbidden City. However, the night eunuch will have a spare key on him.
The queen's bedroom was on fire, why was it too late to unlock it?
Wang Yanqing was silent for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "Does the emperor know about this?"
"I know." Lu Heng also said in a voice that only two people could hear clearly, "He ordered people to close the gate of the West Palace, but he didn't put out the fire."
Wang Yanqing was completely speechless.
Lu Heng knew that it was many coincidences. It was just today on the Dragon Boat Festival that the emperor saw the eldest princess and saw Nvsiren; it happened that the eldest princess bumped into Empress Fang, and Empress Fang’s subconscious disgust stimulated the emperor; it just happened that a fire broke out tonight, trapping Empress Fang’s bedroom; just because the emperor was angry, he ordered Eunuchs are not allowed to save people...
Perhaps after a period of time, the emperor's temper dissipates, and he will regret not saving Empress Fang. After all, Empress Fang has a real life-saving grace for him. But fate is so ridiculous. Coincidences that rarely happen in ordinary times, but they collide in series today.
Wang Yanqing and Lu Heng both stopped talking, Wang Yanqing put down the water cup, and the two returned to chat in silence. After lying down, Lu Heng took Wang Yanqing into his arms, but Wang Yanqing did not push him away.
The two embraced each other and slept through the night until dawn.
The next day, news of Empress Fang's death came out. It was only said that the candles of the Dragon Boat Festival lit the palace, and it was too late to put out the fire, resulting in Empress Fang's death. The queen of a country was actually burned to death, which is simply appalling. However, the harem, which had just experienced the fire last night, was very secretive about it, and no one was willing to mention the fire.
Three days later, an edict came out from Xi Nei, and the edict said: "The empress is more dangerous than saving me, and she will be buried in the Yuan Dynasty."
The emperor pursued the posthumous Empress Fang as Empress Xiaolie, issued a decree to the world, made the posthumous ceremony in person, and wanted to present Empress Fang's tablet to the Taimiao Temple.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites said that this was not in line with the rules. Empress Fang was the successor, and the Emperor Tai Temple was treated only by the Queen of the Yuan Dynasty. Her tablet should be placed in the east room of Fengxian Hall. But the emperor insisted, and the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites repeatedly advised the emperor to change his mind, so he had to put it on hold for the time being.
The death of Empress Fang seemed to have made the emperor make up his mind. After Empress Fang's mourning period ended, the emperor gave all concubines and concubines who had given birth to children in the harem. Concubine Du Kang and Concubine Lu Jing were still concubines, but their monthly salaries rose to the status of imperial concubine.
Most of the women in the harem were beaming, except for Wang Guifei. Concubine Wang originally thought that it was her turn to be the queen of the book this time, but she did not expect that she had to be concubine Huang in the end, and was greatly disappointed in her heart.
The courtiers all thought that the emperor was hurt after burying Empress Fang, so he treated the concubines and concubines of the harem leniently. But Lu Heng knew that it wasn't, the change in the status of the concubines was just a hot spot, and the next thing was the emperor's real purpose.
Moreover, Lu Heng also knew that in the future, there would be no more queens.
The emperor buried three empresses one after another. The Yuan empress Chen died due to a miscarriage, and the Zhang family died of depression. The third empress, Fang, was dignified and respectful. Did nothing wrong, but was burned to death.
The queen seemed to be a curse, and the emperor realized that perhaps leaving the queen's seat vacant was the best way.
Sure enough, after conferring the concubine, the emperor conferred all three princes in one breath. The emperor issued an edict to establish the second prince as the crown prince, the third prince as the king of Yu, and the fourth prince as the king of Jing. The three books were sent to the harem together, and the courtiers speculated on the candidate of the prince for several years, and it was settled.
