Seeing this, Qiao Lingshu also put her hand on it, her lips moved, but tears started to flow.
"Grandma, please don't leave us!"
"Don't cry! Grandma doesn't like it!"
Qiao Lingyin half hugged her sister and raised her hand to wipe away her tears!
Their grandmother wanted them to be happy, so they listened to her.
Qiao Yunxin's eyes were red and her blocked nose made it hard for her to breathe. She looked at Doctor Mo and asked, "How is my mother?"
Doctor Mo shook his head: "The old man's pulse is chaotic and there is no way to save him. My lord, you must be prepared. The old lady only has a few hours left!"
Qiao Yunxin and others did not give up, and asked half of the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to take turns to treat the patient.
Everyone’s conclusions are similar!
The old lady is already in her dying stage and there is no medicine or food to cure her.
Qiao Xin is really leaving!
We have to face this fact and not joke with them.
We could no longer deceive ourselves, and sadness instantly spread from within!
The masters and servants of the Qiao Mansion stayed awake all night, and stood guard outside Qiao Xin's main hall, hoping for a miracle to happen!
God did not hear everyone's prayers and no miracle happened.
At dawn in the sixth year of Yuanhe, a bright meteor fell from the sky.
As soon as the heavy palace door opened, Duke Zhuguo entered the palace!
Before the morning court session began, the emperor received a report from the eunuch who delivered the message.
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhuguo has come to announce the death. The old lady just passed away!"
The emperor turned around suddenly, grabbed the little eunuch by the collar, his face full of disbelief!
"Tell me again, who went and where did they go?"
"Your Majesty, calm down. It was Madam Qiao who passed away last night. Duke Zhuguo is kneeling outside the palace. He said that the old lady has another memorial for him to hand over to you personally!"
The emperor looked at his great general, who was hunched over and looked grief-stricken, and then he realized that the news was true!
But how could someone who was so energetic at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet the day before leave so soon?
The retired emperor who rushed over after receiving the news stood in the shadow of the pillar, pursed his lips, and remained silent. No one noticed that his hands behind his back were shaking slightly!
The woman who was a few years younger than him just left without saying a word!
During the most difficult days of his rule, it was Qiao Xin who stepped in again and again to help him through several crises. She accompanied him in protecting the country of Dajing, and always believed that she was a wise ruler!
The fact that Dajing, which is located in a place surrounded by wars, can end the chaos and achieve unification is closely related to Qiao Xin!
The generals around him, Fan Boqing in the southwest, Heng Wen in the northwest, Qiao Yunting in the north, and Qiao Yunxin in the south, which one has not received the kindness of Qiao Xin?
She and I sympathize with each other. Even if Qiao Xin is not standing in the court, she still understands me better than all the civil and military officials in the court!
Her appearance seemed to come with a mission, and now she leaves in a free and easy manner!
But the new emperor's kingdom still has so many problems, and he still can't let it go. Is this guy really not going to care about it anymore?
Didn't you even leave him a single word?
"Emperor, go back, the wind is blowing!"
Eunuch Cao came over tremblingly and helped his old master up.
"Cao Banban, were we hard of hearing just now? They said that the old lady passed away. Did we hear it wrongly? She was arguing with us at the palace banquet yesterday. How could she be gone?"
Eunuch Cao could no longer hold back his tears. He also didn't believe the bad news, but he couldn't keep it a secret from his master forever!
But before he could open his mouth, the new emperor asked for an audience.
"Father, the old lady's funeral was not held. They just informed everyone and sent her to the Huguo Temple for cremation!"
The emperor was furious: "What bullshit are you talking about? What do the three Qiao Yunxin brothers do for a living? Although Qiao Xin is not their biological mother, she is not so abusive."
“It was the old lady herself who strongly requested that Father calm down.
She submitted a memorial to me, strongly requesting that her funeral be kept simple, with no tombstone or banquet, and that her ashes after cremation be scattered in the peach blossom forest in Laohu Town!
Let me fulfill her wish and don't blame the Qiao family!"
The new emperor handed the memorial to the retired emperor!
The font is familiar to the eye, and even the writing style is something that no one else can imitate!
It is indeed Qiao Xin’s handwritten letter!
The handwriting is fluent and the ideas are clear. It seems that the arrangements were made in advance when he was sober!
Qiao Xin explained everything in the memorial.
Also say a formal farewell to these familiar superiors and colleagues!
She said that she lived a long life, obeyed God's will, owed nothing in life, and enjoyed freedom after death. Her relatives and friends do not need to be sad...
There is a sense of freedom between the lines!
"Do as she wishes! I will go to the Huguo Temple and ask your great uncle to personally perform the ceremony for her!"
"Father, it's unreasonable to scatter the bones and ashes! The old lady has a very good reputation among the people and officials. If she doesn't even give everyone a chance to say goodbye, it will cause public resentment!"
Emperor Wu still believed in Qiao Xin's character at this moment, and said in a low voice: "She should be able to make some arrangements and will not cause any trouble to the court!"
The new emperor breathed a sigh of relief. He also wanted to follow the old lady's wishes, but he was even more afraid of arousing unnecessary public resentment!
After Qiao Yunxin left the palace and returned home, he changed into mourning clothes and went straight into the main hall where Qiao Xin was!
Everyone in the mansion is guarding it!
Xu and Wang Caiwei had already brought Nanny Qin to help Qiao Xin get dressed up.
The old lady was a lady of the highest rank and had worked hard all her life. Even if she didn't want to hold a grand funeral, she should wear the most expensive clothes and leave in a dignified and honorable manner!
