Chapter 247 Entering the Palace

Author: Egret Ye Qilin

After a while, the officials at the execution ground examined the man and confirmed that he was dead.

At this time, there were very few people watching outside the venue, with almost only those who had been bullied by the Miao family, or relatives of those killed by the Miao family.

Someone knelt on the ground and cried: "Sister, have you seen the spirit in heaven? This family named Miao, this family of Tiansha, has been punished!"

His sister's family was the family of the maid killed by Miao Qianyue.

Not only did the child that the family sent into the Miao family died, the family wanted to report it to the government, but Miao Jun personally silenced them.

Some people tilted the wine jars in their hands and poured the rice wine inside on the ground, silently paying homage to their relatives who were beaten to death by the Miao family for grabbing land.

The magistrate rarely dealt with executions like this, and he was not in a good mood for a while. After cleaning up the mess, he announced that the execution was over and returned to the Yamen in a sedan chair.

According to Dashun's practice, the bodies of these executed prisoners can be redeemed if their families are willing to pay.

But the entire Miao family was wiped out, and Miao Hua, the only survivor, was unwilling to admit that he was a Miao family member, so no one came to collect the bodies.

The government officials had no choice but to use several flatbed trucks to transport the corpses to a mass grave outside the city for a hasty burial.

Aunt Miao on the flatbed truck was limp and lifeless.

Lin Xiao stretched out his hand to test under her nose to see if there was still breath.

He waved his hand, and the class leader, who had wanted to leave for a long time, quickly pulled the donkey cart and left.

Lin Xiao rode up to the carriage, dismounted, and saluted Mr. Tang.

Tang's mood was quite chaotic at the moment, so he responded casually and said, "Brother Xiao, I heard that you played an important role in this matter. Come to Yang's house another day, and I'll treat you to dinner."

Lin Xiao chuckled and said, "It's disrespectful."

Tang was about to leave, and Lin Xiao hurriedly said, "I wonder if Uncle Yang told you? There is something strange. Mother Tong was originally going to be sent to hard labor for ten years after getting a tattoo. But, last night, she died in prison.

"

Tang looked at Lin Xiao in surprise, but Yang Zhen didn't mention this.

Yang Mu came over and asked, "How did you die?"

Lin Xiao said: "Bewitched!"

Tang took a breath, why is it Gu again?!

Lin Xiao said: "The Jingzhao Yin Mansion has already begun investigating this matter. I will let you know when there is news."

This is the only thing that can be done now. After all, the matter happened in Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and Tang and Yang Mu could not interfere.

Lin Xiao couldn't ask Yang Mu to go for a walk together in front of Tang Family. He could only watch the carriage leave when Tang Family said that he wanted to go back home.

Seeing that the execution ground was over, He Sanniang on the tree dragged Yang Fei, who had been dotted with mute blood, back to the village.

Although Yang Fei had ordered the killing of Yang Mu, she had never seen such a bloody scene, so she fainted halfway.

After returning to the villa, Yang Mu began to fall ill and even talked nonsense intermittently. Lu Yao was frightened and hurriedly returned to the Duke's mansion to ask for a doctor. This is something to be said later.

After the Tang mother and daughter returned to the Duke Protector's Mansion, Yang Mu immersed himself in the design drawings again.

Fortunately, I worked overtime on drawings these past few days, and finally finished the other three design drawings when the lanterns first came on.

The next day was the day when Yang Mu was going to enter the palace.

Early in the morning, while Yang Mu was still meditating, Daishan pulled him up to freshen up.

Wearing a lotus-colored fairy dress with wide sleeves and large hibiscus flowers embroidered on the hem, and a set of pink glazed hair and face specially sent by Tang Family, she looked like a little princess.

Daishan's eyes widened and he exclaimed: "Miss, how about you dress up like this from now on!"

Much better looking than the usual arrow sleeves!

The hairdresser specially sent by the Tang family gave Yang Mu a bun, which is the most popular style in the capital at the moment, making Yang Mu look even more delicate and cute.

At Chenshi, Tang's carriage was waiting outside the gate of the mansion. The moment he saw Yang Mu, he was stunned for a moment and then praised him again and again.

Yang Mu was not embarrassed at all when he was praised. He chuckled and said, "I made a cake for my aunt."

Tang stared at the pastry box in Yang Mu's hand and swallowed in frustration.

When Yang Mu saw Tang's appearance, he smiled and took out a box, opened it and saw two cakes.

One is framed to look like a ball, and the other is framed to look like a big black tooth.

Tang picked up the one that looked like a ball without thinking, bit down on the butt of "Qiuqiu", and said with satisfaction: "My daughter is better!"

Yang Mu picked up the cake with big black teeth and ate it slowly.

She was busy all morning and didn't have time to have breakfast.

The Yang family lived on the edge of the outer city. After entering the gate of the inner city, they walked for more than half an hour to the entrance of the imperial city.

The soldiers guarding the Imperial City knew the Duke Protector's carriage, but they still checked the waistband responsibly before letting it go.

Mrs. Bao, who was sitting in the carriage behind, was no exception. After showing her badge to the soldiers, she followed Tang's carriage into the imperial city.

After walking for less than half an hour, you will reach the gate of the palace. You can't take a carriage, you have to walk.

The gatekeepers here are the imperial guards, and the interrogation is stricter. Yang Mu was also specifically asked to open the food box and confirm that there were no sharp objects inside before being allowed in.

Yang Mu looked at the magnificent palace gate in front of him and thought of the Forbidden City in his previous life. Comparing the two rooms, it seemed that they were not much different.

There was already a middle-aged eunuch named Mao waiting at the palace gate to greet the three of them.

On the way, Mrs. Tang asked about Concubine Shu's health, food and drink during this period.

The eunuch named Mao simply replied that it was a rule in the palace that everything should not be told clearly to outsiders.

In order to get the protection of the Empress Dowager, Concubine Shu lived with the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace.

Although they came to see Yang Yi, according to the rules, they had to meet the Queen Mother first.

After the announcement, an old nun came out with a faint smile, saluted Tang slightly, and said: "Mrs. Crown Prince has not been in the palace for a long time, and the Empress Dowager was still talking about you a few days ago!

"

As she spoke, she looked at Yang Mu.

Mrs. Tang hurriedly introduced: "This is the daughter I just found, Sister Mu!"

The old grandma looked at Yang Mu with a very friendly look and said, "I have heard the name of the eldest sister of the Yang family for a long time! It is better to see her than to hear her, she is really handsome!"

Yang Mu said haha ​​on face, but said in his heart: Are you sure my name is handsome and not violent?

Tang naturally knew that her daughter would marry the Empress Dowager's nephew in the future, so she specially prepared a gift from the Empress Dowager today.

The old nanny looked at Mrs. Bao. They were friends for a long time. After nodding to say hello, the old nanny led the two Tangs in.

Mrs. Bao thought for a while and stayed outside instead of going in.
