Chapter 856 The Queen’s Death
However, during this period, the King believed that De Fu had changed. He had lied to him, and he was slow in dealing with a lot of errands.
For example, right now, he was even suspecting that De Fu’s cringed behaviors were generated from some secret he was trying to hide.
The King, who had been smiling, suddenly had his expression sink.
De Fu got very anxious by this point.
The Queen’s death happened at the same time as the endowment ceremony of the heir, and it was such a coincidence that he had no idea what to do – the King cared about the Queen, but the King cared about the heir as well…
So he did not dare to say anything while they were in such a lively discussion, but he was worried that he would miss the hour if he continued to hide the secret.
So that the King did not get to visit the Queen at the latest hour.
De Fu was so hesitant that he just did not dare to take any more steps, but he had to speak the truth when the King asked.
With his head lowered, De Fu walked in and said anxiously as his voice shook slightly, “King, a message has just come from the town and said… And said that the Queen failed to be cured and she has just passed away. He felt very uncomfortable when he heard the news, and when the news was finally said, he felt even worse.
He had no idea how the King would feel at this moment. And he did not dare to look up at all.
It was so quiet in the imperial study, that even a needle’s drop could be heard.
The people from the Ministry of Rites exchanged a look with each other, but didn’t dare to say anything. They had their heads lowered and did not show any expression, but different plans arose inside everyone present. The heir had just been endowed with the title and the ceremony was around the corner. The reason why Lord Ling was granted the position was because the King cared about him most, but the Queen was still the Queen, even if she was not inside the court any more.
Both of them were from noble backgrounds.
One was the heir and the other was the Queen, each of whom represented one totally different affair. What should they do? Whose ceremony should be held first?
It was something that never happened in history, until this very day.
No one from the Ministry of Rites dared to say anything
They would either offend the heir or the Queen, Lord Huai or the King.
They waited to see what the King was thinking. None of them dared to say a thing.
The King had been so shocked the moment he heard the news.
The Queen passed away? Jiang Shuang was gone? That was not possible!
She only got sick because she was trying to lure him to spare some mercy for Lord Huai whilst combining the old soldiers from the Jiang Family to set him up.
So how could that be possible? That could not be true! Was De Fu lying?
No… De Fu never lied, not in front of him.
What was going on?
He closed his eyes.
It seemed as if he had just returned to 23 years ago, when Jiang Shuang was standing in front of a patch of roses and said to him…
