Chapter 407: Rising Spirit
What Yu Shengsheng expected was exactly right.
On the day of the queen's funeral, Su Huaiyuan went to the palace early in the morning, and Su Yanshu came to urge her to go with him.
Madam Su also changed into a white dress: "Let Shengsheng share a carriage with me."
Su Yanshu nodded: "Okay, when we get there, let Shengsheng come with me."
Madam Su was surprised: "Shengsheng is a girl, it's more appropriate for her to follow me."
"This is what father meant. Mother, please follow his instructions."
Mrs. Su didn't understand and looked at Yu Shengsheng, who nodded in agreement.
Su Yanshu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that she agreed. She was being very difficult to deal with and he thought it would take some effort to talk her down, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.
After getting on the carriage, Madam Su sighed softly, "Your grandmother can't go, Zhiyi can't go either, and Cheng Zishan can't go either. It's just the two of us..."
Yu Shengsheng said nothing, leaning against the pillow and closing his eyes to rest.
Madam Su whispered, "Are you still sleepy? I got up too early today. There's nothing I can do. This kind of thing is just too tedious. Take a nap first. I'll call you when we get there."
Yu Shengsheng didn't hesitate and fell asleep.
Mrs. Su felt mixed emotions, but she comforted herself, "Never mind, as long as he agreed to ride in the same car with her, it was progress, and things would get better slowly."
All the people from various prefectures who wanted to participate had to go to the palace first, leave the palace with the queen's coffin, and then follow behind out of the imperial city. Only then could they each get on a carriage and go to the imperial mausoleum.
Following this process, it would take until night time for the queen to enter the mausoleum.
Whether you walk at night or stay overnight in the imperial palace depends on the specific time and arrangements.
Anyway, it's destined to be a tiring day.
Yu Shengsheng wasn't tired at all.
She was in Fu Qingyin's large carriage at this time, accompanied by Lu Hu and Jin Bao Bao, and all three of them were wearing the clothes of the Red Dragon Guard.
Especially Yu Shengsheng, who was wearing a thin mask and her eyebrows and eyes were also modified, looking completely different from her previous appearance.
Jin Baobao and Lu Hu also disguised themselves to some extent. After all, they were her maids, so if people recognized them, they would know that she was nearby.
As for the "Yu Shengsheng" who was with Madam Su, he was a disguised form of Fu Qingyin's secret guard.
After receiving the imperial edict two days ago, Su Huaiyuan told her that she would go with the Su brothers. She then informed Fu Qingyin. Fu Qingyin was already prepared and made this arrangement.
Last night, when Hei Bai brought "Yu Shengsheng" to her, she was stunned.
I didn't expect they could be so similar.
Except for her voice being a little hoarse - but that didn't matter. She wouldn't speak unless it was absolutely necessary, and if she did, she would say as little as possible. She spread the news in advance that she had caught a cold and had a sore throat.
Yu Shengsheng got into Fu Qingyin's car, feeling extremely happy. Fu Qingyin also went into the palace, but she didn't need to, so she waited in the car with Jin Baobao and Lu Hu.
The car is fully equipped with everything you need for food, entertainment and rest.
Yu Shengsheng gently lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked outside. There was a lot of traffic outside and many familiar faces.
Most of the people who attended the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet last time were these people.
However, he was in high spirits last time, but this time he looked serious.
The one who died was the queen. Although she couldn't cry easily, she certainly couldn't feel the slightest bit of joy.
The carriages usually stopped silently, and people dismounted quietly and lined up at the palace gate according to first come, first served.
Jin Baobao whispered, "Miss, isn't that a member of the Lu family?"
The female member of the Lu family who came this time was not the old lady, but Madam Lu, and she did not bring the younger generation with her. Lu Xingyao followed Lord Lu and Prime Minister Lu.
"Lu Xingyue didn't come," Jin Baobao said with a little regret.
"She'd better not come to this place where there are so many people and she can't laugh heartily. Otherwise, she will feel uncomfortable and have to go through so much trouble. Her body can't stand it. If she gets sick again, it will be troublesome."
"That's right," Jin Baobao nodded and pushed the peeled nuts in front of Yu Shengsheng.
Yu Shengsheng lowered the car curtain and waited patiently.
If you feel sleepy, just take a nap. It’s still early and you have to go through the procedures inside.
Inside the palace.
The emperor looked grief-stricken. The emperor and the empress had always had a good relationship. The emperor was heartbroken and almost fainted several times. The prince also came out of the East Palace and was released from prison. His eyes were swollen from crying. He knelt in front of the emperor and begged him to rest and take care of himself.
After all the officials pleaded again and again, the emperor went to rest and let the prince take charge.
The prince was dressed in plain white mourning clothes, and looked completely different from when he was in Hongyuan Temple.
But the officials who saw him that day already knew exactly what kind of person he was.
They knocked and kowtowed, and there were bursts of wailing in the palace, as white as snow, covering the deep palace. Until a loud singing of "Arise, the queen's coffin" was slowly lifted up, leaving the central palace and walking towards the palace gate.
Yu Shengsheng heard several gunshots outside and realized that they had set off.
The arranged Red Dragon Guards came to the car to remind her. According to Fu Qingyin's instructions, as soon as the team came out, she would be taken to Fu Qingyin by the Red Dragon Guards.
After we leave the city, we will get on the carriage together, so as to avoid being discovered by others if something unexpected happens, which would be a serious crime.
Yu Shengsheng got out of the car and followed the Red Dragon Guard to wait nearby. Hearing the deafening music and seeing paper money flying everywhere, Yu Shengsheng felt unhappy.
Fortunately, Fu Qingyin was spotted soon. He was wearing his official robe inside out today, with the red inside and the black outside.
It is not as lively as before, but more solemn and solemn.
Fu Qingyin also saw her and slowed down his pace. Several Red Dragon Guards came up to him, as if reporting something to him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Shengsheng was brought to his side, just behind his right side.
Fu Qingyin glanced back and saw that she was lowering her head, observing others, following the footsteps and postures of the other Red Dragon Guards.
The clothes she wore had also been altered by Nanny Zhou. Even the smallest size was too big, so they had to be altered manually.
Seeing how cute she was, Fu Qingyin's heart moved slightly, and he wished he could pick her up and hold her in his arms right now.
The team walked and stopped, and finally got out of the city gate. After a few more cannon shots and some crying, everyone was able to get on the carriage.
The team's progress finally accelerated and they set off towards the imperial mausoleum.
Yu Shengsheng had just gotten into the carriage when Fu Qingyin followed. Jin Baobao and Lu Hu went to the car behind.
Yu Shengsheng was about to speak when Fu Qingyin came up and hugged her. She raised her head and was about to ask him what was wrong, but he leaned down and kissed her again.
Yu Shengsheng looked confused and dizzy. She was not released until she was almost out of breath for a long while.
Fu Qingyin looked at her blushing face and couldn't help laughing. He held her face and pecked her twice.
"We still have some distance to go, you can get some sleep."
"Today is destined to be a troubled day."
Yu Shengsheng nodded, hugged the soft pillow and was about to sleep, but Fu Qingyin took her back into his arms and placed her on his lap.
"Go to sleep."
Yu Shengsheng felt embarrassed. She had thought that she would never sleep, but as the carriage swayed, Fu Qingyin's smell was particularly pleasant, and before she knew it, she fell asleep.
I was really tired from the journey just now.
