Ji Huangzhen's eyes flashed slightly, and he saw the Empress Tan Tai Zijun sitting on the sofa beside him.
When she saw the empress's condition clearly, she was shocked again. She hurried over and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
The Empress Tan Tai Zijun looked extremely weak at this moment.
There were still spots of blood on the skin of his face, and his face was as pale as snow, which made the bloodstains even more conspicuous and hideous.
She leaned back on the sofa and whispered, "Aunt Ji, do you know how the late emperor's... body ended up in my bedroom?"
Ji Huangzhen looked at her cautiously, frowning and saying, "Your Majesty? What's wrong with you? Have you forgotten what just happened?"
Empress Tantai Zijun closed her eyes and said, "...I really can't remember. Aunt Ji, please tell me."
Ji Huangzhen looked at her carefully and said, "Just now, your majesty, his subordinates, and a group of royal guards went to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage to the late emperor..."
As she spoke, she recounted what had happened before, and at the end, the empress asked those people to leave first, and then she and Ji Huangzhen left the imperial mausoleum.
Moreover, when walking with Ji Huangzhen, he always remained invisible.
Having said that, the Empress Tan Tai Zijun also understood.
She frowned and said, "...That means I brought this thing back from the imperial mausoleum myself."
"But I... I really can't remember why I brought this thing back."
"Aunt Ji, please help me. I have suffered serious internal injuries and need to summon the imperial physician."
Ji Huangzhen was anxious: "Your Majesty is injured?! When did it happen?! Who is so bold as to hurt His Majesty?!"
"Is it... that thing?"
She pursed her lips at the human skin and bones of Tan Tai Hongyuan wrapped in the golden sheets.
Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun held her forehead and thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No... Aunt Ji, don't ask any more questions. Hurry and get rid of this thing. Also, redecorate my bedroom."
"During this period, I will be staying in the medical room, with the imperial physician on duty 24 hours a day."
Ji Huangzhen looked at the back of Empress Tan Tai Zijun as she hurriedly left and sighed in his heart.
But, that’s the emperor!
What can she do?
I can only keep these things in my heart and do my best to help the empress.
She glanced at the human skin and bones wrapped in the golden sheets, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.
After thinking about it, she realized that she still had the key to the imperial mausoleum, and hadn't had time to return it to the clan leader, Tan Taiqing. She still had time...
So Ji Huangzhen went to the imperial mausoleum again and put the human skin and bones of Tan Tai Hongyuan back.
Although she did not have the bloodline of the Tantai clan, she was lucky enough in the imperial mausoleum.
From the time I went in to the time I came out, nothing unexpected happened.
Ji Huangzhen breathed a sigh of relief, quickly closed the door on the sword monument of the imperial mausoleum, and left quickly.
After returning to the palace, she took action herself and first repaired the human-shaped groove in the empress's bedroom, and then called the empress's maid in to help her move.
She didn't plan to let the empress live in this palace anymore.
Just renovate it and turn it into a sanctuary, to suppress the bad luck brought by the human skin and bones...
She ordered the royal craftsmen to find another palace and renovate and redecorate it according to the appearance of the empress's original bedroom.
After arranging these things, she went to see Empress Dowager Li Fengen and talked about rebuilding the bedroom for the empress.
"Empress Dowager, that bedroom was previously occupied by... the pseudo-imperial princess, Tan Tai Jing. Now it's given to our noble Majesty, and he feels a little uncomfortable there."
"He specifically called me over today and said he wanted to redecorate it."
"I thought, since you don't like it, then why not just not live here? Let's find another palace and build a new bedroom for Your Majesty."
"Empress Dowager, you love Your Majesty so much. Please don't blame me for just thinking of this now... I've wronged Your Majesty..."
Empress Dowager Li Feng'en was very surprised after hearing this and said, "Your Majesty doesn't like that bedroom?"
"I've never heard her talk about it before?"
Ji Huangzhen smiled and said, "I probably could have endured it before."
"Now that there are so many things going on, and on top of that... I went to the imperial mausoleum and felt unwell after returning. I've already gone to the imperial physician for treatment. I think I can't bear it anymore."
Empress Dowager Li Feng'en understood and nodded quickly, saying, "So that's how it is. Then we should quickly rebuild a new palace!"
Ji Huangzhen said: "Respect the Empress Dowager's order."
"I'll have the Construction Department send the blueprints over later. Could you keep an eye on them?"
Empress Dowager Li Feng'en nodded. "We must help her choose a good one. I'm going to see her now. Is she with the imperial physician?"
