After passing through the book, the vicious female supporting character and the heroine work togethe

Of course the emperor didn't wake up.

Just like what those scorpions said, their venom is very strong after all, and the man was an old man and a patient. They stung him together, but they still made him come back. Don’t they care about their dignity?

The emperor endured for several days but finally couldn't make it and passed away!

When the death knell sounded, people in the entire capital reacted quickly. They put away all the festive items in their homes and replaced them with monotonous plain colors, white. The wealthy families even hurriedly asked their servants to redecorate their homes.

The palace also quickly prepared.

Hearing the bell, Xu Muhua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally dead!

We can't cause any more trouble now, right?

Once the emperor passed away, the people in the palace had a lot to do! They had to deal with the emperor's funeral and the new emperor's enthronement.

Oh, once Zhao Chengye ascends the throne, her status will also change and be upgraded!

Oh, and there’s also the matter of Concubine Zhang.

Xu Muhua had not forgotten what she had promised Concubine Zhang. Now that the emperor was dead, Concubine Zhang's affairs could be arranged.

As soon as the emperor died, the atmosphere in the palace changed immediately. It was solemn and depressing, and there was grief and crying everywhere. I just don't know whether it was sincere or fake.

She had watched TV before and heard that when the emperor died, the ladies had to kneel down and cry according to the rules. They could cry for several days at a time and it was so painful that they would faint!

If this is true, it would be even more difficult for her, the prince's concubine, to escape.

Should she learn from Xiaoyanzi in advance and make some knee pads or something, so that her knees won’t get swollen from kneeling?

Although Xu Muhua was only a concubine in the Eastern Palace, she would definitely have to get busy with such a big event.

Taking a break from her busy schedule, she visited Concubine Zhang's palace.

Concubine Zhang was relieved to see her coming over. She pulled her hand anxiously and asked, "Does what you said to me before still count?"

"Of course it counts. I just squeezed in time to come to you. If you've made up your mind, then you should get ready."

Concubine Zhang nodded heavily: "I have made up my mind and will not change it! But how can I fake my death?"

Concubine Zhang could never think of a good way to fake her death and leave the palace.

If she was an unknown concubine, it would be fine, but she was the emperor's favorite concubine. If she died, the palace would definitely not pretend that nothing happened, and this could not be concealed.

Xu Muhua felt that this matter had to be solved using the simplest, roughest and most direct method.

"I will set fire to your palace. Before setting the fire, leave a suicide note or something, saying that you are disheartened and have no desire to live because the emperor is dead, and you want to follow the emperor!"

This would not only preserve Concubine Zhang's reputation, but also not bring trouble to the Zhang family. There was no need to worry about someone examining the body and exposing the matter.

Even if she got some drug to fake death, it wouldn't be safe.

If she died, she would not be buried immediately. If she wanted to be buried with the emperor, she would definitely be buried with him. If she died, her body would probably have to stay in the palace for a while, which would be easy to be exposed.

Being burned to death is different.

Even if someone really had doubts, she believed that no one would dwell on this matter at this time and would not insist on getting to the bottom of it. Concubine Zhang was the concubine of the late emperor, not the concubine of the new emperor, right? If she died, she died. At this time, it is better to have less trouble than more.

Concubine Zhang frowned and asked, "But where can I find the body?"

Even if he was burned to death, there must be a corpse. It is impossible to burn him to ashes, right?

Xu Muhua looked at her helplessly: "I don't know how many people die in this palace every day. You are a noble concubine. Is it difficult for you to find a corpse?"

Concubine Zhang paused.

Yes, she was so excited that she forgot that a corpse could be found anywhere in the palace, in a remote and desolate courtyard, or in a dry well.

"Hurry up and prepare. When the time is right, find an opportunity to start the fire. I will then find a place for you to hide first, and then send you out of the palace."

The emperor was dead, and everyone would be very busy for a while, with many people coming in and out of the palace. It would not be difficult to find an opportunity to smuggle Concubine Zhang out.

Concubine Zhang nodded heavily: "Well, I will be ready!"

When Concubine Zhang thought that she would be free soon, she became uncontrollably excited.

The two discussed for a while and finalized the details of the operation. Only after confirming that everything was correct did Xu Muhua leave.

The emperor's funeral was so complicated and tedious. Although the empress and the crown prince were present, Pei Shaorong, as the crown princess, could not avoid the work even with a big belly.

Ah, that's not right. At this time, Arong should not be called the Crown Princess, but the Queen. After all, once the old man dies, the Crown Prince will be the legitimate new emperor!

Although the coronation ceremony was not held, Zhao Chengye had already ascended the throne. He was the new emperor, and the crown princess naturally became the queen. The former queen became the queen mother.

As for her, the concubine, Zhao Chengye had not yet held the coronation ceremony, so the canonization of the concubines in the backyard was put on hold and would have to wait until he ascended the throne.

However, Zhao Chengye ascended the throne faster than she expected. He probably wanted to ascend the throne quickly to avoid any trouble. After all, there was a loyal king who was obviously restless. Who knew when he would jump out and cause trouble?

So half a month after the death of the previous emperor, Crown Prince Zhao Chengye held a coronation ceremony and officially became the new emperor of Dayong.

The Crown Princess Pei Shaorong became the Queen without any suspense, and the Concubine Xu Muhua was directly canonized as a noble concubine! Zhao Fengyi also became a concubine.

There were only three women in the prince's backyard, and it was very simple to confer titles on the women in the backyard after he ascended the throne. This was the simplest backyard for the new emperor of Dayong, and it can be recorded in history!

The next day, a fire broke out in the Yikun Palace, burning half of the palace! Even Concubine Zhang, who was still living in the palace and was planning to move to another palace to stay temporarily until the late emperor was buried, was burned to death!

At first everyone thought it was an accident until a suicide note was found in a part of the Yiku Palace that was not burned.

The suicide note was written by Concubine Zhang. In the letter, she said that the late emperor had doted on her for many years. Now that the late emperor was dead, she had no intention of living on and decided to follow the late emperor.

As soon as this suicide note was published, the ministers who had previously criticized Concubine Zhang for favoring the domineering ministers suddenly changed their faces! The letter praised Concubine Zhang highly, and then suggested that since Concubine Zhang died to follow the late emperor, she should be buried with the late emperor to show her loyalty.

Concubine Zhang was already a noble concubine during her lifetime, so it was impossible for her to be given a posthumous title. Zhao Chengye gave the reward to the Zhang family.
