Because it happened in the afternoon and the news was blocked, even though the Prince's Eastern Palace was very close to the Imperial Palace, no news about Li Chengze was heard.

Li Xiuzhu was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Luying, you and Ludie should serve the queen well in the future."

"You are Big Brother's people. I will not treat you unfairly in the future."

Lu Ying was startled, not understanding why Li Xiuzhu would say that, but she still said, "We are His Majesty's people, and naturally we are also the Duke's people."

"If the Duke has any orders, please tell us. His Majesty has told us to follow his orders in everything."

"Even if the Duke wants Green Oriole and Green Butterfly's bodies, we are willing to do so."

Li Xiuzhu's face darkened when he heard that, and Li Biyao also had a strange look on her face. It was obvious that she was trying to hold back, but it was very difficult.

However, Li Xiuzhu was just speechless and had no other thoughts.

After thinking for a while, Li Xiuzhu said directly: "His Majesty has passed away."

Lu Ying was startled again, then seemed to understand what Li Xiuzhu meant, restrained her smile, and said: "Thank you for reminding me, Lord Jun. His Majesty is passing away, Lu Ying should not laugh."

Li Xiuzhu's forehead darkened again. What you understand is not the same as what I understand? "I mean that my eldest brother passed away."

Luying shuddered when she heard that, and then she understood what Li Xiuzhu meant. She suddenly staggered and her vision went dark.

Li Xiuzhu supported Luying and said nothing. He just sighed and asked her to calm down.

At this time, Green Warbler had just stood firmly, and she couldn't help crying.

"My Lord, Ludie and I..."

"I told you I'll be here for you guys to take care of them."

Li Xiuzhu paused and continued, "It will be the same in the future as it was before."

"Thank you, Lord, for taking her in. Ludie and I will definitely take good care of the Queen and the concubines."

Li Xiuzhu nodded, and then said, "Lead the way first."

"Yes, Lord, follow me."

When Li Xiuzhu met Xiao Rongyu, besides Xiao Rongyu, Yu Xuanji was also there.

Seeing Li Xiuzhu and Li Biyao, Xiao Rongyu and Yu Xuanji were stunned.

Yu Xuanji looked at Li Biyao, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Why did my husband come at this time? Is there something wrong?"

Unlike Xiao Rongyu who was hesitant and dared not speak, Yu Xuanji was also a talented woman, intelligent and lovely.

The fact that Li Xiuzhu dared to bring people in already explains the problem.

Princess Wenjie must know about their affairs.

Li Xiuzhu nodded upon hearing this and said, "My eldest brother has also passed away."

Xiao Rongyu and Yu Xuanji paused at the same time, and immediately asked nervously: "Husband, what about us?"

These wives and concubines had no feelings for Li Chengze, so they were not sad about this, but were just more worried about their own situation.

Without Li Chengze's protection, can they still be together with Li Xiuzhu in the future?

Moreover, when His Majesty dies, he must be buried alive with you.

Xiao Rongyu, the queen who has not yet been crowned, is fine, but Yu Xuanji and the others are not safe, so they are nervous.

Although Li Xiuzhu didn't hear everything, he still spoke to Xiao Rongyu and the others in a reassuring voice, "Don't worry. The late emperor has issued an imperial decree that after His Majesty's death, the child in Rongyu's belly will take over, and I will be the regent."

"Rong Yu will rule the country with the Queen Mother in the future."

"As for Xuanji, you will be fine. My eldest brother has just ascended the throne and there is no tomb, so he will be buried with the late emperor, and there is no need for concubines to be buried with him."

Only after hearing this did Yu Xuanji breathe a sigh of relief.

She is still in her prime and has someone she loves, she really doesn't want to be buried with someone else.

"Husband, what are we going to do?"

Li Xiuzhu said: "I came here just to inform you..."

"There's no need to let Miao Jin go. She's not the principal or concubine, and she hasn't been canonized. This way she won't have to put on airs."

Yu Xuanji asked hesitantly, "But wouldn't it be bad if we don't go to mourn His Majesty?"

"It's okay. Most of you are pregnant, so you can be treated as an exception."

Li Xiuzhu paused and continued, "And if I asked you to cry for your elder brother, would you be able to do it?"

"Even if I could, I don't want you to cry. Just think of it as my chauvinism as a man."

Hearing this, the two of them laughed, and then stopped laughing.

Yu Xuanji stepped forward, hugged Li Xiuzhu, and said, "My husband, this is not a male chauvinism. This is to protect us."

As she spoke, Yu Xuanji let go of Li Xiuzhu and bowed to Li Biyao who was standing beside her.

"Xuan Ji has met my sister."

Xiao Rongyu was startled when she heard this, but she also calmed down. She had been the eldest sister at home before, so she didn't react for a while.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Xiao Rongyu also hurriedly bowed.

"Rong Yu has met sister."

Li Biyao quickly helped the two of them up and said, "We don't have so many rules in our family. We are all sisters, so there is no need for formalities."

"Besides, you are my sister-in-law, the queen and the imperial concubine outside, so you should be polite to me."

"It's a bad habit to have. It can easily lead to accidents."

"It's better to be rude. Then people will just say that we have a good relationship as sisters-in-law, and at most they will say that I don't know etiquette."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Rongyu immediately said, "Whoever dares to say that, I will pull out his tongue if I dare to say that to my sister."

Of course, she was just talking. If she really faced such a thing, the most she would do would be corporal punishment.

Li Xiuzhu said at this time: "Time is precious, Xuanji, let me ask you one last time, this is your last chance to get pregnant, have you thought it through?"

Yu Xuanji paused. As long as the prince was still alive, she could have a child whenever she wanted.

But now that the prince is gone, this is the only choice left, and the identity of the posthumous child can only be confirmed within a month.

Yu Xuanji thought in silence for a while but couldn't come up with any result, so she felt very conflicted.

At this time, Xiao Rongyu stepped forward and said, "Xuanji, why don't you give birth to a child too? If I'm pregnant with a girl, there will be more hope."

"Otherwise, if..."

Li Xiuzhu heard this and said, "I didn't tell you before, Rongyu is definitely pregnant with a dragon son."

“It’s a little hard to explain, but it’s basically certain.”

"If it's because of the heir to the throne, then there's no need to worry about it."

Yu Xuanji heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this, and said, "In that case, I don't want it."

Li Xiuzhu was startled and said in surprise: "This is your only chance to become a mother."

Yu Xuanji smiled when she heard this: "The child is just a continuation of my love for my husband and the continuation of his family line."

"Since my elder sister has helped my husband to continue his family line, there is no need for me to embarrass myself."

"Besides, I have so many sisters. One more or one less won't make much difference. On the contrary, having a child will reduce the time I spend with my husband."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Rongyu became envious.

"Sister, I really envy you."

If possible, she didn't want to get pregnant.

But she was forced by the situation and had no choice.
