Chapter 534: Chaser
Since Dugu Xiaomeng married into the royal family and moved out of the mansion, the Dugu Mansion has become much quieter, and there is no longer the noise and noise of the previous ones. Even Aunt Jing is not used to it. Although only one person is missing, she feels that the mansion has less popularity, and sometimes she doesn’t even have a person to talk to.
Dugu Ruyuan is still busy with official business, and he goes out early and returns late. Dugu Xiaoyue often locks herself in the boudoir door and does not go out. Even if Jing Yisu shouts at the servants, he will not get a response for a long time.
The servants in the house were afraid that the master would serve his mother, so they often nodded or shook their heads, for fear that if they said something wrong, they would be upset and learn another lesson.
Jing Yisu missed Concubine Jing very much, but could not visit her. Just because the emperor ordered not to visit relatives after Concubine Jing was crazy. Even if she sent someone to inquire about the news, she found nothing. Occasionally, she was anxious to ask her husband, but there was no use of news. She was so anxious that she could do nothing.
"Oh~ Thank you, father-in-law, for your hard work. My sister asked you to come, right?" Faced with the sudden arrival of a group of palace servants, Jing Yisu was surprised and happy. She was hoping that Concubine Jing's crazy symptoms would improve, but she expected that what she had come was bad news.
"In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor ordered that Jing Yixian passed away on the eighth day of the eighth month. He was virtuous and virtuous, virtuous and orderly, and was a model for the palace. After a sudden death, I was heartbroken and posthumously named the queen to praise..." The leading palace maid was Xiao Caozi. He looked pale and did not want to say one more word, for fear of saying the wrong words and fear that he could not control his emotions.
Jing Yisu heard the intention of the first half of the death, hurriedly grabbed the corner of Xiao Caozi's clothes and cried, "You must have made a mistake. How could my sister die so well? Don't scare me, don't scare me..."
"Madam Dugu, don't do this, I know that you are sad, but this... is the fact, please feel sorry!!!" Xiao Caozi took two steps back and finally broke away from Jing Yisu's nonsense.
"How could it be? How could it be? Impossible... Impossible..." Jing Yisu cried as she beat the ground.
"Mom, accept the order!" Although Dugu Xiaoyue was so calm at such a young age, she was sure that the news of Concubine Jing's death was true, and she still held back and let a tear fall into the corner of her eyes.
"Xiaoyue, you are the only one left in your mother. Your aunt..." Jing Yisu turned around and hugged her daughter and started wailing.
"Mom, no matter when, you must not forget the rules and etiquette." Dugu Xiaoyue entrusted her mother to the servants to take care of her, and she respectfully knelt on the ground and raised her hands above her head to receive the imperial edict.
This is the first time since Dugu Xiaoyue remembers that his relatives have passed away. It turns out that people are crying when they are in pain. "The emperor's kindness is so great. The little girl will give thanks to the Lord for the long grace, and long live the emperor."
"Madam, Madam..." The servant next to him was not supported, so that Jing Yisu fell heavily to the ground and fainted.
"Take the wife back to the room first." Dugu Xiaoyue ordered her to carefully collect the imperial edict.
"Take good care of your wife, so I won't disturb you much." Xiao Caozi was very polite to Dugu Xiaoyue. After all, he was the Crown Princess's sister, "Miss Dugu, please stay."
"Dadfather-in-law, I'm not far away to see you off." Dugu Xiaoyue looked at the backs of a group of palace servants with tears in her eyes, and she squatted on the ground and shed tears silently.
The girl who was not yet in the hairpin should have lived happily, but now she has to face the grief of her aunt's death.
He pretends to be calm on the outside, but Dugu Xiaoyue is still a child in her heart, so helpless and weak that she can only use crying to vent her emotions.
"Xiaoyue, what's wrong?" Dugu Ruyuan heard that his father-in-law came to the mansion and immediately rushed back from Zongcha Mansion.
"Dad~Dad~" Dugu Xiaoyue hugged Dugu Ruyuan's legs tightly as if looking for support.
"Xiaoyue, stop crying, otherwise you... the aunt should leave without worry." Dugu Ruyuan knew that Concubine Jing had passed away.
"Dad, how could I leave just by saying goodbye?" Dugu Xiaoyue murmured in tears.
"Xiaoyue, suffering from madness is worse than death for your aunt. She doesn't even remember who she is. She often makes trouble for the people around her. Even the emperor scratches and bites it, which makes you feel tired and troubled. This... is also a relief." Dugu Ruyuan breathed a long sigh. The ability of Concubine Jing to pass away peacefully was also considered as the reason why his wife could feel at ease.
"Dad has seen the mad aunt look like she is crazy?" Dugu Xiaoyue has always missed Concubine Jing very much, but she never saw her.
"Well, no one is human, no ghost, but fortunately the emperor will never leave him and take care of him patiently." Dugu Ruyuan did not expect that the emperor would be so infatuated with Concubine Jing, "Where is your mother?"
"Dad, my mother fainted again." Before Dugu Xiaoyue could go to visit her mother, she wanted to adjust her emotions, but she knew that she was caught by her father as soon as she shed tears.
"Hey, your mother is really in trouble now. Xiaoyue, go and see your mother... The news of your aunt's death will definitely have a big blow to her. I must stay with your mother in the past few days, and I will enlighten her more." Dugu Ruyuan was most afraid that his wife would go to Tianfu City to make trouble and ask for someone. If the emperor was alarmed, it would be difficult to end.
"By the way, this edict should be kept for dad." Dugu Xiaoyue carefully handed the edict to her father.
"Give it to your mother." Dugu Ruyuan pondered.
"My mother should be sad again when she saw it. Although the emperor has prosely appointed my aunt, she has lost all her people. What's the use?" Dugu Xiaoyue pouted and looked resentful.
"What are you chasing your concubine?" Dugu Ruyuan was extremely surprised.
"Queen! My mother has been hoping to have a queen sister, but who knew..." This idea coincided with Jing Yisu, because since Dugu Xiaomeng became the crown princess, Dugu Xiaoyue has also begun to hope that she can have a queen sister, but her mother's wish has come true, and her wish is still at the level of thought.
"Empress?" Dugu Ruyuan snatched the edict and read it carefully from beginning to end, "Oh... this... can be regarded as a glorious family to the Jing clan." Dugu Ruyuan could not guess the emperor's real intention. He was so fond of him during his lifetime but he did not support him as the queen. It was so strange that he was posthumously named as the queen as soon as he died.
"Who else is the Jing clan besides my mother? Who can I tell the name of the queen?" Dugu Xiaoyue felt the pressure from the royal family for the first time. She wanted to change her secular vision with just a chasing vote. She began to worry about her sister's identity.
"You don't understand this. Anyone who can get along with your aunt can enjoy some of her honor." Although Dugu Ruyuan did not explain it directly, Dugu Xiaoyue already understood. In comparison, her sister is the biggest beneficiary.
Everyone knows that Concubine Jing’s sister is Mrs. Dugu, but few people know that Mrs. Xiao Dugu is the stepmother of the Crown Princess.
