Chapter 441: The Country of Free and Easy Women 17
Mu Xue asked Ning Shu to abolish her just to retreat and advance, and some ministers put pressure on Ning Shu.
Ning Shu looked at these people and said sarcastically: "It's my daughter who died, you people are talking without any pain in your waist. Mu Xue, your sister died because of you, don't you feel guilty?"
Mu Xue knocked her head on the ground, and said in a muffled voice with a nasal sound, "I have never thought of killing the fourth princess. I am not worthy of being a crown prince. I beg you to abolish me."
"Your Majesty, think twice." The minister shouted immediately.
Ning Shu looked tired, and finally waved his hand and said: "The Crown Princess should reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors. Without my order, she cannot leave the Crown Princess's Mansion."
"I thank you for your grace, my mother." Mu Xue knocked her head on the ground.
Ning Shu looked at Mu Yao on the stretcher, "Prepare the coffin for the fourth princess."
Ning Shu staggered when he walked. If it weren't for the support of the female official Qiu, Ning Shu would have fallen to the ground.
Mu Xue looked at Ning Shu's back with deep eyes.
After returning to the bedroom, he fell on the couch without any strength. After a long while, he said, "Bury the fourth princess as quickly as possible."
The female official Qiu replied yes.
Because there was no ready-made coffin, Ning Shu gave Mu Nishang's imperial coffin to Mu Yao. The minister wanted to say that this was against the rules and etiquette, but seeing Ning Shu's red eyes, full of coldness and hostility, he dared not say anything.
The Crown Princess was originally in the wrong in this matter. The Crown Princess was only confined, but the fourth princess died.
Now it is very dangerous for them to speak for the Crown Princess, and they dare not provoke Ning Shu again.
The body of the fourth princess was put into the coffin as quickly as possible and prepared for burial the next day.
The outside world just said that Her Majesty the Queen could not accept the death of the fourth princess and just wanted to bury her quickly. Another intention was to protect Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess.
Late at night, a white sail was hung in the hall with a weak oil lamp, and the bean-sized flame occasionally jumped.
The gorgeous coffin was placed in the middle, giving off a gloomy feeling. Ning Shu walked into the hall, pushed the coffin open with great effort, reached out and patted Mu Yao's face, and said, "Hey, wake up."
Mu Yao was pale, wearing gorgeous clothes, lying motionless in the coffin. Ning Shu pinched Mu Yao's nose in a bad mood. At first, Mu Yao still endured it, but finally she couldn't hold it anymore and opened her mouth to breathe.
"Ouch, my head." Mu Yao climbed out of the coffin with difficulty and touched the back of her head. "Mother, my son's head hurts so much, why don't you bandage it for me?"
"Why bother with this effort when he's already dead?" Ning Shu waved his hand, and the secret guards outside came in, holding a stone in their hands, and put the stone into the coffin.
"Nail the coffin shut." Ning Shu's two secret guards ordered.
Ning Shu leaned against the pillar of the hall, looked at Mu Yao who kept touching the back of her head and said, "Live a good life with Yuan Jun in the future."
"He told me that he would go to the imperial mausoleum to guard your grave in the future." Ning Shu felt that the current Yuan Jun was different from the Yuan Jun in the plot. The current Yuan Jun was criticized a lot because of his infidelity. He had to face other people's strange eyes wherever he went. No matter how ambitious he was, it would be gone.
And Ning Shu could see that Mu Yao's death was a blow to Yuan Jun. After all, Mu Yao treated Yuan Jun sincerely. When Yuan Jun was in despair, Mu Yao never left him. He
planned to spend the rest of his life in the desolate imperial mausoleum as a gravekeeper.
"Thank you, mother. I got it." Mu Yao said with a smile, "Thank you, mother, for everything you have done for me."
"Now I will go out and travel around the world." Mu Yao said, "I will travel around the world with Yuanjun and the one I truly love."
Damn, what a good life. I am so jealous. She is so miserable. She will die soon and still has to worry about it every day.
"Go with the funeral procession tomorrow. I will send someone to protect you." Ning Shu instructed, "Don't let anyone notice you. Can you do it?" "I can do it." Mu Yao patted her chest and promised, "I will not cause trouble for my mother."
Ning Shu saw that the secret guards had nailed the coffin shut, patted Mu Yao's shoulder, and turned to leave the hall.
The next day, Ning Shu watched the long funeral procession leave the palace. Mu Yao mixed in the funeral procession. Mu Yao looked back at Ning Shu who was standing on a high place and wanted to wave goodbye, but considering the occasion, she could only follow the procession obediently.
Seeing Mu Yao leave the palace, Ning Shu breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the sedan chair back to the palace.
Ning Shu didn't go to court for several days in a row. Ning Shu didn't want to go to court in the first place, and now he found a reason, because he was too sad to lose his daughter and didn't want to go to court. Whoever asked me to go to court
would kill me. It gave Ning Shu's dying body a rest.
What disappointed Ning Shu was that this incident did not deprive the crown princess of the position of crown prince. This level was obviously not enough.
And the ministers were so strongly opposed because Mu Yao was already dead, there was no need to sacrifice a living person for a dead person, dead people are worthless, and besides, a living Mu Yao is not as valuable as Mu Xue.
Mu Xue was confined indefinitely by Ning Shu, and Liu Changqing didn't say anything. He still sent Ning Shu a tonic soup, and then held Ning Shu's ugly hand and told her: "Your Majesty, you need to take care of your body."
Ning Shu: ...
Anyway, Ning Shu couldn't understand what Liu Changqing meant.
In the dead of night, Ning Shu caught Mu Qing, who had been hanging out for a long time, in front of him. Mu Qing was still wearing ordinary clothes made of not very good fabrics.
When she saw Ning Shu, Mu Qing's face was alert and suspicious, and asked: "What do you want me for?"
Mu Qing has been cautious during this period. She really doesn't know what her nominal mother wants to do to leave her aside. Now she is cautious in the cold palace, always feeling that this person has bad intentions.
Ning Shu looked at Mu Qing like a hedgehog with spines all over its body, and asked, "How have you been lately?"
Mu Qing: ...
Mu Qing's current mood can only be described as a thousand grass mud horses. Asking her if she is doing well is obviously ironic and mocking.
It's playing tricks on people.
Mu Qing grinned, "I'm doing very well, very well."
Ning Shu nodded, took a memorial, "Come and read it."
Mu Qing scratched her head in annoyance, picked up the memorial and read it. After reading it, Ning Shu asked her for a solution. Mu Qing said directly that she didn't know.
Ning Shu glanced at her and took out a memorial for her to read. After Mu Qing finished reading it, Ning Shu asked, "If it were you, how would you handle this matter? What exactly is the mind of this minister who submitted the memorial?"
"I don't know." Mu Qing said directly.
Ning Shu took out another memorial, "Read it again."
Mu Qing could see that if she didn't come up with a solution tonight, she would keep reading memorials.
Old witch.
