When he mentioned Bai Qi, someone remembered something wrong when the funeral was in trouble today. That was the Empress Dowager's brother, Bai Qi, who had been kind to the first-class man, did not come.

When it comes to this person, everyone is a little disliked.

Longkodo, who was prominent in his family, was different. Bai Qi was born into the House of Residence and was originally just a slave to the royal family.

Although the Empress Dowager was the current biological mother, she was born in a low-class background. She was selected to enter the palace for a young age. She was originally a palace lady. After her honor, she was named a nobleman. After giving birth to a prince, she was granted a concubine. When Empress Xiaoyi was alive, she was afraid that her adopted son would be burdened by her biological mother's background, so she begged the Empress Dowager to carry the Empress Dowager's branch from the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner to the Zhenghuang Banner.

Those who are well-informed know that before the empress dowager "gets sick" yesterday, Bai Qi, the "uncle" who came to the palace to pay tribute to the empress dowager.

But everyone knows where to say something and what not to say, it’s just a hahaha.

Only Yaerjiang, who had some friction with Bai Qi a while ago, was tired of him. Just as he was thinking of watching his excitement, he called the eunuch over and told him to inquire about why the uncle hadn't come.

After a while, the eunuch turned around.

It turned out that Bai Qi was sick and did not go to the palace to hold a funeral...

When Cao Yong returned to his mansion, it was already Zichu (eleven o'clock in the evening).

Seeing that the lights in the upper room of Lanyuan had turned off, Cao Yong went back to Wutongyuan directly.

Chu Yu wore a gauze-like home-cooked dress, sat by the kang, leaned on the table with his elbows, and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

When she heard the movement, she opened her eyes and saw that her husband was coming back. She yawned while serving Cao Yong to change his clothes.

"Since I'm tired, why don't I take a break earlier and I still have to endure tomorrow?" Cao Yong saw this and blamed him a little.

"After supper, I had been lying down for a while and calmed down." She paused and said, "It's because the old lady was afraid that it was over the heat and she didn't eat anything for dinner. Before leaving the palace today, the emperor sent a verbal order, saying that those who were over 65 years old or those with illnesses would gather together to mourn once a day, even if it didn't take three times. Otherwise, I would report the old lady's illness so that the old lady wouldn't be able to stand it."

Cao Yong was also worried about this, and after listening to Chu Yu's proposal, he agreed with it.

The next day, when the couple mentioned this matter with Li, Li refused: "Although I have never received the grace of the queen mother, I owe the emperor a favor. Even if I look at the emperor's pride, I will have to get through these days."

Cao Yong couldn't do so, so he had to let Li's family go.

Fortunately, there was a concubine of the Secret Princess, who was afraid that Li would work hard, so after mourning in the early shift, she sent someone to take Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to her residence. Those who lived in the same palace as her were the Seventeenth Prince's biological mother, and the Twenty-first Prince's biological mother, Chen, and Chen, the twenty-first Prince's biological mother.

They are familiar with the Cao family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Everyone is chatting and offering herbal tea, melons and fruits, so life is easier.

Compared with the female family members, the Sixteenth Prince's life is not easy.

The seventeenth prince, who was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, was not here. At the funeral of the empress dowager, the sixteenth prince was arrested and assisted the thirteenth prince to coordinate the mourning. He was busy.

At this time, news came from the Imperial Hospital that the Empress Dowager's younger brother, First Class Gongbai Qi, was critically ill.

That was the emperor's uncle. Although the Sixteenth Prince had heard of Bai Qi's rumors in the past or two days, he just complained a few words in his heart and did not dare to delay the news.

I can only report to the imperial court and ask the Holy Lord.

Yongzheng's eyes were red and swollen, without the sorrow of the late emperor Bintian, but instead brought an indescribable gloom.

The sixteenth prince looked at the nose and the nose, and did not dare to think about anything else.

"I am so sad that I am really unable to travel. Sixteenth brother, let me go for a while and visit me." Yongzheng was silent for a while after hearing the Sixteenth Prince's report.

When the sixteenth prince heard this, his heart tightened, but he didn't have the courage to refuse. He honestly agreed and retreated from the front of the emperor.

He had to add some ginseng and deer antlers from the medicine warehouse and made several large bags of them. He originally wanted to bring two imperial physicians over there, but after thinking about it carefully, he was afraid of the responsibility, so he only brought a few guards and took large bags of tonics to the uncle's mansion.

When he arrived at the uncle's mansion, he came to visit him under the order, so he led him to Bai Qi's second son Manqun to Bai Qi's dormitory.

After entering the house, the sixteenth prince was so stimulating that the foul air came from the house.

Bai Qi lay on the kang, no longer having the same pride as before. His face was pale, his mouth was open, his tongue drooped at the corner of his mouth, saliva flowed down the corner of his mouth, and his chest was wet, looking a bit like a stroke.

However, the sixteenth prince knew that this was not a stroke.

Because of his appearance, the Sixteenth Prince looked familiar. There was a palace maid who violated the ban for raping and was punished, which was to pick the tendons under the tongue.

Thinking of this, the Sixteenth Prince felt a chill on his back, so he quickly lowered his head and ate two bites of tea before calming down his mind.

He felt extremely grateful that he had not brought the imperial physician over here. But the imperial physician who had come to this mansion had been afraid that his life would not be saved. What a pity, the man was always at ease to ask for the old man's pulse, and the concubine also used this imperial physician...

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the Empress Dowager's Codon was led from Cining Palace to Jingshan Shouhuang Palace.

The funeral that day was burialized and three days later was launched. Such an arrangement was really hasty.

Some censors are weighing the pros and cons, thinking whether they should write a memorial to talk about this matter, but in the end they choose to give up. Many officials have already received the temper of the new emperor, and no one dares to take the initiative to touch the edge. It is then at this time.

There are also many speculations in private in the royal family, but they are all self-protection and should not be spoken out.

Only the 14th Prince who came back to attend the funeral was dissatisfied with the funeral handling, so he started to make a fuss in front of the spirit and was caught by several brave guards. He didn't know what was stuffed in his mouth, and there was no movement...

As the Empress Dowager's coffin emerged, the six ministries and nine ministers and major yamen gradually returned to their past appearance.

In previous years, people were forced to invite guests to go to restaurants beside Haizi to listen to music. This year, the national mourning has not passed, so they are not too ridiculous, so they have to endure it.

Cao Yong was impatient with social engagements, but he was very satisfied. He went back to his house every day after leaving the yamen, and refused to take another step.

However, on this day, Li Yu came to the door to invite him and said, "The nephew can receive work from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, all it takes is the recommendation of his cousin. Now his nephew wants to be filial, so please give him a compliment."

But after not seeing each other for half a month, Li Yu had already blushed from a white scholar. It seemed that this job was also hard to handle.

Although Cao Yong helped Li Yu introduce him to the Sixteenth Prince, this was proposed by the Sixteenth Prince. After asking someone to privately ask about Li Yu's character, he found a small-scale purchase job and handed it to Li Yu for cooking, but he hoped that a child of the Li family could support the family and take good care of his family, women and children so that Concubine Mi and Li would worry less.

Unexpectedly, Li Yu completed it very well, and the Sixteenth Prince couldn't help but praise it twice.

"I'll get my heart, just forget about eating the mat. When you have free time in the future, you will have your luck in Prince Zhuang's mansion twice, and you will always have your luck." Cao Yong said.
