Chapter 220 She Must Be Yan Ruqin
Emperor Jing of Wei was worried that Concubine Yun would come up with some harsh conditions, but with so many people watching, he couldn't just reject her directly: "Tell me what you want."
"Your Majesty, I know that children who pass away before the age of three cannot have a funeral. But I dare to ask you to hold a funeral for Chengsi. It doesn't need to be a big one. Just let Chengsi's relatives come to see him off. This will also complete the relationship between us and Chengsi for this month."
This matter was not excessive, but if it was done, the censors would inevitably make irresponsible remarks, and Emperor Jing of Wei did not want to add to the trouble.
"Your Majesty, I am also a mother, and I understand how much Concubine Yun loves her son." Concubine Shu advised, "Your Majesty usually loves Chengsi the most. If you can't even agree to Concubine Yun's request, I'm afraid Concubine Yun will be even more distressed."
After listening to Concubine Shu's words, Emperor Jing of Wei pondered for a while, and finally nodded his head in agreement: "It can be done, but the heir is under three years old after all, so he cannot be buried in the imperial mausoleum."
"I understand this, of course. He has a short life and does not belong in this palace. I want to see him off in a secluded place."
Hearing Concubine Yun's tactful words, Emperor Jing of Wei was pleased: "It's good that you know your limits."
Perhaps because he felt that Su Chengsi's death was an unlucky omen, Emperor Jing of Wei stayed for a while and then left.
Concubine Yun personally sent Emperor Jing of Wei away, but she leaned against the door frame for a long time without saying a word.
"My queen, what happened to you?" The maid stepped forward and asked, worriedly.
Concubine Yun smiled, revealing a bit of coldness and self-mockery: "The emperor does not want to agree to this request. If Concubine Shu had not asked, this would not have happened. It seems that even if we are both concubines, we are not the same in the emperor's heart."
Concubine Yun suddenly thought of the position of Imperial Noble Concubine. Now the Queen was only in name only. As long as she became Imperial Noble Concubine, she would be the real master of the harem. What would a Shu Noble Concubine matter to her?
"Please bring the new clothes made for Chengsi." Concubine Yun opened the tightly closed door, and Su Chengsi's body was placed inside. She changed Su Chengsi's clothes with her own hands. Looking at the baby who had stopped breathing, the pain in Concubine Yun's heart dissipated a lot.
Chengsi, the only thing your mother can do for you is revenge. When your mother has avenged you, you can rest assured.
Outside the palace, Muyuan followed the Yan family's carriage to the Yan Mansion.
Madam Yan got off the carriage with a happy look on her face. When she saw the closed door of the Yan Mansion, she was a little dissatisfied: "What's going on? There's not even anyone to pick me up?"
Yan Ruqin stood beside Madam Yan and had a bad feeling in her heart.
The door was opened a little, and the doorman ran out. When he saw Yan Ruqin, his eyes were filled with contempt: "Madam, something happened. Aunt Fu from Zhuangzi is here."
Yan Ruqin frowned slightly. She naturally remembered Fu Gu. When she was in Zhuangzi, Fu Gu was the most ruthless person who tortured Miss Yan. She should have died in the fire. How could she appear in the capital?
"Didn't Zhuangzi's tomb have been burned to death? Why is Fu Gu still alive?" asked Madam Yan.
The concierge said anxiously, "Madam, please come and take a look. The second young lady is so angry that she almost has a seizure."
Upon hearing that Yan Letang was ill, Mrs. Yan immediately became anxious. She no longer cared about anything else and rushed into the Yan Mansion.
