Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 632 Pleading

  Li Chang's coffin was carried into the mourning hall and placed in the same place as Yu's coffin.

  According to the rules of suspending the spirit, the coffin must be opened so that people can look at the remains.

   The Duke of Dongping coughed and said, "The emperor has a decree, so there is no need to open the fifth prince's coffin."

The    was subjected to autopsy and then stitched up, which is considered a kind of death without a whole corpse. There is nowhere to look at the remains, so everyone should not look at it.

  The eldest prince and the fourth prince and Li Chang are brothers after all. No matter how disgusted they are on weekdays, they are not happy.

   Princess Jing'an couldn't help but ask, "Where's the third brother? Why didn't he come?"

   Everyone looked at the Duke of Dongping in unison.

   When Li Hao was mentioned, the Duke of Dongping felt a pain in the bridge of his nose.

   Yao Shangshu and Zhu Shilang Min Shilang from the Punishment Department have been interrogating in the dungeon of the Zongren Mansion. However, Li Hao's mouth was harder than a stone, so he didn't plead guilty. Just open your mouth to see Emperor Yongjia, or just keep your mouth shut.

  Emperor Yongjia only gave three days for the interrogation. Look at the posture, let alone three days, thirty days may not ask for a result.

   Of course, the Duke of Dongping couldn't say anything about such matters, he just replied: "The emperor has a decree, and the case is not investigated for a day, and the third prince cannot leave the dungeon for a day."

   The eldest prince and the fourth prince looked at each other quickly.

   It seems that the assassination of the prince was done by Li Hao.

   Otherwise, Emperor Yongjia would never be so ruthless.

   Speaking of which, they were all tired of Li Hao, not to mention being restrained by Emperor Yongjia, and everyone in the house was interrogated by the Ministry of Punishment. Thinking about it makes me feel bad.

   A figure rushed over suddenly, and threw himself on his knees in front of the Duke of Dongping County, with a shrill voice: "Uncle Wang, I beg you, let His Highness come back! I'll kowtow to you, I beg you."

   While crying, he banged his head.

   Everyone was surprised.

   The Duke of Dongping, in particular, was both shocked and annoyed, and repeatedly avoided it: "The third prince and concubine quickly get up. I can't afford to kowtow like this."

   Li Hao has not been convicted yet, Meng Yunluo is still the princess. How can there be a reason for a prince and a concubine to kowtow like a courtier.

  Meng Yunluo's eyes were red, her long hair was loose, and she looked like she had lost her mind, and continued to kowtow forcefully. After a few thumps, blood oozes from his forehead: "His Royal Highness is imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion. Uncle Wang is Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion. It is only a matter of words to let His Highness come back. I beg Uncle Wang. "

  Dongping County King's whole body trembled.

   Where is this request, it is clearly to bake him on the fire! He is a sectarian and a man, where does he have such great ability?

   The Yu family members in the mourning hall were even more angry.

   Meng Yunluo's actions are no different from disturbing the mourning hall. Yu Shi was already dead, and he could not stop in the mourning hall. It's really deceiving!

   Madam Yu was so angry that she dared not speak.

   Princess Hui'an raised her eyebrows, and was about to speak when she saw a figure flashing to Meng Yunluo's side quickly, and a knife in hand slashed.

   Meng Yunluo didn't even shout, she rolled her eyes and fell down so softly.

  People: "..."

   As expected of Lu Mingyu, when he can do something, he never talks much.

  Lu Mingyu ordered with a sullen face: "Come here, take the third prince and concubine back to the wing and continue to rest." After a while, he said: "Don't open the door without my order."

   The two palace servants tremblingly "helped" the third prince and concubine who had been knocked unconscious to retreat.

  The mourning hall is finally quiet.

  The Duke of Dongping breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

   Yu Shangshu and Mrs. Yu came over to salute together tremblingly: "Thank you, Crown Princess."

  Lu Mingyu sighed softly and stretched out his hand to help him: "You two, please get up. It was my lack of thought that caused the third sister-in-law to make trouble in the mourning hall. Don't worry, in the next few days, there will be no such thing again."

   Yu Shangshu's gratitude to Mrs. Yu does not need to be elaborated.

  …

   Before dark, Lu Mingyu returned to the palace.

   The first thing to do after returning to the palace is to go to the Wenhua Hall to face the saint.

   This time, no one stopped Lu Mingyu. She entered the emperor's bedroom smoothly.

  A screen was erected in front of the dragon couch of Emperor Yongjia. I can only hear his voice, but not see his people.

   It seems that Emperor Yongjia has accepted the fact that he wants to rest in bed for a long time. You can't see your courtiers forever. They came up with such a way.

  Lu Mingyu stood outside the screen and saluted: "Daughter-in-law Lu, I have seen my father."

  Behind the screen, the slightly weak voice of Emperor Yongjia came out: "No ceremony, flat body."

   "Thank you, Father." After Lu Mingyu got up, he didn't wait for Emperor Yongjia to ask questions, and then he shared what happened today. Meng Yunluo's rioting in the mourning hall was an understatement. The focus is on succession.

"...Yu Shangshu and Mrs. Yu's grief for the loss of their beloved daughter is very touching. The daughter-in-law made her own decision, saying that she would choose a child from the Li clan and adopt it to the fifth brother and five younger siblings. In this way, they had a child kowtow before their death. , there was also a filial son during the funeral. Please allow the father and the emperor to approve!"

   was silent for a long time after the screen.

  Lu Mingyu was not in a hurry and waited patiently for a response.

   She did this with a sense of forgiveness and generosity. Emperor Yongjia has no reason and will not refuse.

  Any father would not want his son to cut off the incense after his death.

   This is a jade screen, and across the screen, only a slim figure can be vaguely seen. Emperor Yongjia stared at this figure silently, with a complicated and indescribable mood.

   "You did a good job in this matter," Emperor Yongjia said slowly, "I'm sure!"

"The Duke of Dongping County is Zongzheng of the clan's house, and he has the family tree of the Li clan. You hand over this matter to him, and pick a child of the Li clan to adopt it under the name of the Li Changyu clan. After the funeral, you will be named a prince of the county. It is."

  According to the rules, the prince can be named the king of the domain in the future, the eldest son can be named the prince, and the rest of the sons can be named the king of the county.

   An adopted child, who was conferred the title of the king of the county, is already rich and noble for the rest of his life.

  Lu Mingyu replied softly and left.

After Empress Qiao knew about this, she also felt that Lu Mingyu did a good job: "Li Chang is already dead, no matter how many sins there are, one life is enough. It is appropriate to adopt a child and pass on Li Chang's lineage. "

   Anyway, it is the title of a county king, just spend some money to keep it. In the future, it is impossible to feudal fiefdoms.

  Lu Mingyu hummed and said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness is known for his kindness. I, the Crown Princess, can't hold back His Highness."

   Queen Qiao was amused, took Lu Mingyu's hand and said, "Not only did he not hold back, but he was also a first-class virtuous helper."

  Lu Mingyu pursed her lips and smiled.

   After joking and laughing, Queen Qiao whispered again: "You brought up the matter of adoption, and the rest of the Yu family will take care of you. For specific matters, don't get involved. Let the Duke of Dongping handle it."

   So as not to try too hard and make Emperor Yongjia taboo.

  Lu Mingyu nodded slightly: "Don't worry, mother, I know what to do."

   We recommend Jiushilu's new book "Treading the Branches", and the relatives of the book shortage can search and have a look. Qin Luan dreamed of his master. The master said, let her go down the mountain and go back to Beijing, save a person, and give up a kiss.
