Chapter 201 Whose Idea Was It?
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, those who died before the age of thirty were not allowed to be buried in the ground; that is to say, only their ashes would be buried in the ground.
It's really unsettling to witness your own funeral.
The emperor received the news in the afternoon, and by the time he finally arrived at the scene, everything was already over.
"Who, whose idea was this? Who gave you permission to do this?"
The emperor grabbed the Duke of Anguo and slapped him. Everyone else knelt down upon seeing this, and the Duke of Anguo also knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty's kindness towards my son is deeply appreciated. However, Yu'er is, after all, the eldest grandson of the Luo family, and it is only proper for him to be buried in the Luo family's ancestral tomb."
Although Duke Anguo did not attend court yesterday, he was well aware of what was happening in the court.
Allowing Luo Yu to be buried in the imperial mausoleum as a prince may seem like the emperor's way of showing affection for his nephew, but in reality, it's also a slap in the face to the emperor.
The fact that the heir of the Duke of Anguo was not buried in the Luo family ancestral tomb, but instead in the royal mausoleum, undoubtedly made matters worse when rumors were already rampant.
If someone with ulterior motives were to exploit this and stir up trouble, his lifelong reputation would be truly ruined.
So when Yun Yichen suggested that he be buried in the Luo family ancestral tomb as soon as possible, Duke Anguo did so without hesitation, even faster and more quickly than Yun Yichen had imagined.
"Rules, rules again, bullshit rules."
The emperor hated the word "rules" more than anything in his life, yet even after becoming emperor, he still couldn't escape the concept of rules.
Upon returning to the palace, the emperor did not, as everyone expected, fly into a rage and punish Yun Yichen. Instead, he issued an edict appointing the crown prince as regent with Yun Yichen's assistance, and then proceeded directly to the imperial mausoleum.
The imagined storm did not materialize, and the rumors circulating in the capital vanished like the wind with the incident.
Everything seemed the same as before, but Gu Shuyan knew that someone who had once helped her had left forever.
"Xu Feng, deliver this letter to the Yun residence, and remember to hand it to Brother Yun personally."
These past two days, Gu Renjie suddenly started teaching Gu Shuyan to write. In order to help her develop beautiful handwriting, he even moved her desk into Gu Renjie's calligraphy studio.
They called it preventing her from being lazy, but in reality, they were preventing her from having time to sneak out of the mansion.
As for the cause of this incident, it all started a few days ago when she sneaked off to the Yun residence for some snacks.
Because the pastries made by the chefs at the Yun family mansion were so delicious, Gu Shuyan would sneak over whenever she had a spare moment, eating and taking some back with her.
Unfortunately, just as Gu Shuyan was happily leaving the Yun residence, she ran into Gu Renjie, who was returning home.
Gu Renjie had warned her countless times not to have any contact with Yun Yichen, and she readily agreed, but she was caught red-handed.
And so, her nightmares began. Fortunately, Xu Feng helped run errands, so her pregnant belly wasn't neglected.
"Miss, not to criticize you, but if you keep eating like this, you'll grow into a dumpling sooner or later. Are you planning to be an old maid for the rest of your life and still not be able to get married?"
Xu Feng took the letter, and before leaving, he couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark about Gu Shuyan.
"I'm willing, so stop dawdling."
Gu Shuyan rolled her eyes at Xu Feng, annoyed. He was just quiet before, but after arriving at the Marquis's residence, Gu Shuyan realized that he was practically insulting her ancestors.
If it weren't for her promise to Luo Yu, Gu Shuyan would have wanted to kick him out.
