King Wei watched the two eunuchs in the inner palace skillfully check her breathing and pulse, and confirmed that Princess Mingshou was dead.
One of them took out a piece of coarse linen silk and shook it open, while the other skillfully pulled the other end.
They covered the body of Princess Mingshou, lifted it up and down skillfully, tied the two ends, and wrapped it tightly.
After wrapping another layer, the two of them lifted one end and carried it out easily.
Xiaoye smiled and said to King Wei: "Your Majesty, I'm waiting for you to go out all the time.
It's quite dark here."
When King Wei saw him smiling now, he felt very angry in his heart.
Each of these eunuchs was not a good thing.
There are also eunuchs in Prince Wei's palace, but Prince Wei never likes to have eunuchs serve him personally.
He was adamant and walked out as soon as he waved his hand, but it was really dark outside.
King Wei almost tripped when he was going up the stone steps, but Xiaoye had quick eyes and hands to help him, otherwise King Wei would have been even more embarrassed. .
Since he had accepted the favor, King Wei was embarrassed to face him.
When he walked out of the door and saw the skylight outside, King Wei took a deep breath and asked casually: "How will she deal with her funeral, Your Majesty?"
I must have an explanation.”
"Of course the emperor has already explained it."
Xiaoye asked politely: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Bai has already gone to report.
It's getting late.
I'll ask someone to wait for you when you leave the palace and return home."
"No, no, I'll just walk through Dehuamen, it's just a few steps away."
"Then walk slowly, I have to run another errand."
King Wei hummed and walked out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
His airs only lasted a few steps, and as soon as he walked out the door, he couldn't help but quicken his pace, not even having the courage to look back.
God knows what other errands the eunuch had to do, most likely to kill people.
Xiaoye stood there and watched him go with a smile.
When no one was in sight, the smile suddenly disappeared as if it had been wiped away.
"Bad thing."
Although King Wei is now in charge of the affairs of Zongzheng Temple, which is different from ordinary idle royal family members, Xiaoye really doesn't like him.
They were the ones clamoring to kill Princess Mingshou, but when it came time to take action, he was so cowardly again.
When Princess Mingshou was poisonous just now, he wanted to raise his hands and plug his ears.
Xiao Ye also walked out of the courtyard.
A middle-aged eunuch who was about the same age as Bai Hongqi came over and said respectfully, "Eunuch Ye."
He held the long box in his hands and handed it to him.
Xiaoye first stretched out his hand to take it, then suddenly remembered something and rubbed his hands hard on his pants twice.
Still feeling unsafe, he picked up a sweat towel and wiped it before taking the box.
He carefully held the box, passed through a palace gate, and entered a courtyard.
Unlike what was sung in the play, the emperor would always "throw people into the sky prison" or "throw them out of the Meridian Gate" who had committed serious crimes.
There are places in the palace where these people are imprisoned, but they are not called heavenly prisons.
The courtyard that Xiaoye is entering now is separated by a high and tight palace wall, where there is a laundry room in the palace, but it has not been used for a long time and is vacant.
This place is remote and inaccessible.
Even if someone sets off firecrackers here, they are not afraid of being heard.
The eunuch stood at the door of the courtyard and pushed the door open silently.
Xiaoye gave a gentle and polite greeting to the person in the room.
The man turned around, and it was none other than the former prince-in-law Zhang Qiheng.
Princess Mingshou rebelled, but the consort did not participate in the rebellion and delivered a very important list to the emperor.
So the emperor dealt with the people involved and pardoned Zhang Qiheng.

Of course he is no longer a prince-in-law, and there is no possibility that he will stay in Beijing or even serve as an official in the future.
But according to Xiaoye, even if the emperor planned to reward him with an official position, the former prince-consort didn't have that intention.
It has been less than a month since the incident of Princess Mingshou.
Zhang Qiheng has become so thin that he has lost all his shape.
His clothes are hanging empty on his body, as if the wind would blow him away if the wind gets stronger.
There was no light in those eyes, and the whole person looked just like the dead people Xiaoye had dealt with today.
"Master Zhang, have you packed up?
Let's leave now."
Zhang Qiheng nodded.
He had nothing to pack, so he came out empty-handed.
However, Xiaoye had ordered someone to pack a bag in advance, which contained two changes of clothes, a pair of shoes, and some money.
Of course, the money was not much, but it was enough for transportation.
He could not leave the palace and was only sent to the palace gate, where guards took over.
At this moment, Xiaoye handed the wooden box to him: "This is what our imperial concubine has entrusted to you."
Zhang Qiheng finally showed a look that was different from the previous indifference, and his eyes fell on the box: "What is this?"
"The empress said that this is your thing and should be returned to its original owner."
Xiaoye handed the wooden box over.
Xiaoye also sympathized with the second son of the Antinghou family who was harmed by Princess Mingshou.
Although Princess Mingshou is gone now, his life has been ruined.
Let alone any aspirations or ambitions, even if he wants to marry a wife and live a good life, he can't.
Antinghou's hometown is in Zhangzhou, and returning to his hometown is equivalent to being exiled and imprisoned.
It's getting late, so Xiaoye's errands are finished here.
Zhang Qiheng got on a green cloth car, and four people in front of him escorted him to Zhangzhou.
This should be the last time he sees the sunset over the capital.
Zhang Qiheng opened the wooden box, took out the scroll in the box and slowly unfolded it.
Sunny day, clear water, and the ladies revealed one after another in the painting.
Zhang Shiheng's hands were shaking.
Through the dim light coming from outside the carriage, he saw the man sitting in the banquet wearing a light yellow dress.
Just like the color she was wearing when they first met.
It was also a sunny day, and her clothes looked like flowers blooming on the branches in the sunshine.
The flowers of that year never withered and bloomed forever in his heart. #### The emperor acted very quickly and sent a message a day later to choose another companion for the eldest prince.
As a rule, the background of the companions is not too low.
If they are not noble, they must at least be from the family of Ren Zheng, a third-grade official or above, to be eligible for selection.
There is also an unwritten rule that a concubine cannot be selected, and the hope of a side branch is very small.
The emperor had no intention of choosing a younger one.
His plan from the beginning was that a young man who was three to five years older than the eldest prince and who was careful, steady and knowledgeable would be the best.
Originally, there were two places, but one of them had already been booked by Princess Mingwei and was reserved for Qiao Shuying.
So there was only one place left, but there were nearly thirty people who wanted to be selected.
Whether you want to beg the emperor to get closer or make it easier for your descendants.
Everyone in the capital knew that the eldest prince was physically weak, but the emperor's emphasis on the eldest son was not biased because of his frailty.
This was still a quick and convenient way to reach heaven.
To say the least, many of the people who want to hug the eldest prince are actually frightened by the case of Princess Mingshou and are eager to express their loyalty to the emperor.
If they can be selected as the eldest prince's companion, it naturally means that the emperor has already I am no longer afraid of my own family.
Even if you can't be selected, you still have to perform well.
So on this list compiled by Eunuch Bai, there is even a young man in his early twenties.

If the child was born early, it would be time for the child to start reading, so why would he come here to read with me?
It's obvious that he is just here to look familiar.
Naturally, a group of such people were screened out at Eunuch Bai's place, and another group was screened out at the Emperor's place, and finally there were still six people.
The emperor planned to let the eldest prince choose.
Qiao Shuying was not only a cousin but also one of the few acquaintances of the eldest prince, so she took one of the seats without hesitation.
Only one of the other six people can be selected.
The emperor summoned people to Changning Palace after the grand meeting, and then sent people to Yong'an Palace to send a message, asking Xie Ning to take the eldest prince there with him.
Xie Ning really wanted to follow and take a look.
Although it is said that the eldest prince chooses it himself, neither the emperor nor Xie Ning will definitely check it for him.
They must never let a person with flaws in his moral character become a companion.
What should he do if he brings up his own children?
Of course Xie Ning and Princess Yuyao were behind the curtain.
The emperor was a little surprised when he saw that she had brought Princess Yuyao with her.
Xie Ning showed a helpless expression.
If the second prince hadn't happened to be asleep, she would have been unable to get away.
She would have had to carry the youngest one with him at this moment.
But Princess Yuyao couldn't get rid of him no matter what, so she had to take them to Changning together.
Come to the palace.
The eldest prince and Princess Yuyao heard the name of Changning Palace mentioned almost every day, but this was the first time for them both.
The splendid and majestic front hall is where the emperor summons courtiers and discusses affairs besides the court meetings.
Even Xie Ning has never been there.
She has only been to the back hall, the study and the emperor's bedroom.
Across a green gauze curtain, Xie Ning and Princess Yuyao looked at the half-grown children standing outside.
They vary in height, and the shortest one is a head taller than the eldest prince.
Although it was related to his age, the eldest prince was in poor health and was born much thinner than his peers.
The day before yesterday, when the eldest prince and others were being measured for their autumn clothes, Fang Shanggong said excitedly that the eldest prince had grown a little taller.
Although Xie Ning didn't notice that he had grown taller at all, Fang Shanggong's joy seemed so sad in comparison.
The tallest one is not the oldest one, he is almost as tall as an adult.
I heard that their family members are all tall, and their noble ancestors all came from the military.
Now the children of this family also appear to be taller than others.
After the emperor asked him a few questions, it turned out that he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child.
Xie Ning excluded him first.
This is about choosing a reading companion, not a guard.
If you are tall and practice martial arts, you may not be good at reading.
Besides, it doesn't look harmonious for him and the eldest prince to stand together
