Chapter 091, The Empress Dowager Died! (3/10)
"The Empress Dowager died?!"
Lin Xianyu showed his amazing acting skills, his eyes wide open, and his face was full of shock: "How is this possible? The Empress Dowager was so good yesterday, how could he die suddenly?"
The middle-aged nanny wiped her tears and said, "The Empress Dowager slept very deeply last night. When it was almost dawn, the people in the night watch palace found that her body was cold!"
The middle-aged nanny said again: "You can change your clothes and go to Cining Palace to serve you!"
After conveying these news, the middle-aged nanny stuffed her a set of mourning clothes and went to work quickly.
Lin Xianyu was so cold that he hurried back to his warm little nest, added a thick cotton coat to himself, then put this pure white mourning suit outside, and quickly headed to Cining Palace.
Although Lin Xianyu walked all the way, it was already dawn when he arrived at Cining Palace. Except for the Concubine Niuhulu who was still in confinement, the other concubines had arrived. Kangxi also issued a special order to court this morning and rushed over.
The Empress Dowager was not abrupt, so the Cining Palace was somewhat messy.
Seeing that the emperor was still there, Lin Xianyu had to go up and bow his knees to pay his respects: "The emperor has many blessings."
Kangxi's expression was very complicated. Now his grandmother passed away, so there was naturally sadness. The Empress Dowager supported Kangxi ascending the throne and supporting her to hold the throne. Now that she died suddenly, Kangxi was also a little shocked.
But sad and shocked, he looked at his beautiful face in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Xianyu saw Kangxi staring at Wei Xianyu's face again, and her face turned dark. She said coldly: "I'll go in first to serve the Empress Dowager!"
Kangxi looked slightly embarrassed and nodded immediately, "Go."
Lin Xianyu lifted the pearl curtain and quickly walked towards the Empress Dowager's bed, touched the old lady's neck. Sure enough, Xiaozhuang was already cold.
Because the body is cold, it is very stiff. The uterine maids are trying hard to change clothes for the old lady. Usually, they will change clothes while it is hot after death or before death, because once the body becomes cold, it will be difficult to wear clothes.
The main reason is that the palace maids dare not use too much force, for fear of damaging the body of the Empress Dowager, so they were slow.
Lin Xianyu couldn't stand it and said, "I'll do it!"
As she said that, she sat sideways on the head of the bed, picked up the old lady's body and then bent her stiff arm a little, then glared at the palace maid: "Put your sleeves on!"
The palace maid nodded quickly and quickly put the sleeve of the robe on it, and then her other arm was also done in the same way.
As long as the sleeves are put on, the rest is just buttons, and the sleeveless patio jacket, shoes and socks are not troublesome.
In addition, the dead man's face was not very good-looking. In addition, Xiaozhuang was so old that he was extremely pale now, his eyebrows were slightly frowning, and his face was a bit ferocious.
However, Lin Xianyu's heart is big enough, and he doesn't feel scared or guilty at all.
Is Xiaozhuang insisting on putting him to death, and those who kill people will always kill him. She is guilty of Mao?
She was very calm!!
Lin Xianyu calmly asked the palace maid to get rouge and water powder and put makeup on the old lady.
Her makeup is actually quite good. Although she never wears makeup after becoming Wei Xianyu, she is not so easy to forget about women's memories.
Lin Xianyu focused on describing the old lady's face. He first washed the lady's face with hot water, then placed the cream on the palm of his hand and melted it with the heat of his palm. In ancient times, the cream was oily, and it was a hard lump in winter, but it was still very soft after melting. Lin Xianyu carefully applied it to the old lady's face. Because the dead face was not absorbed much, she massaged it carefully for a while so that the old face would not be glossy.
For such elderly and dry skin, oily creams are actually a good choice.
With this oily base, apply gouache and the rouge will not be floating powder.
Lin Xianyu was careful with the gouache, including the old lady's neck. He applied three layers of it and specially added a little rouge to the gouache. In this way, the applied face was not so pale. Then he swept a little rouge on his cheeks, and applied his lips with his jade-ticking head and rubbed his rouge, and finally painted his eyebrows.
In this way, the terrifying face turned out to be like a sleeping old man.
Lin Xianyu nodded secretly and expressed satisfaction with his makeup level.
At this time, Su Malagu, whose eyes were red and swollen like walnuts, held the gorgeous heavy penis towards the crown with both hands, "Miss Wei put great makeup on the Empress Dowager, just like she is still alive."
Then he brought a court crown to the old lady and carried it into the huge coffin.
The white banners floated, sorrow and joy were everywhere, and cries came one after another.
It seemed as if the entire Forbidden City had fallen into mourning.
But Lin Xianyu knew that there would not be too many people who would truly sad for this old lady.
The Queen Mother and Tana who came out of the same clan were really sad, Kangxi... half true and half false, let alone the other concubines.
It is also an extremely hard thing to mourn the old lady, and she has to kneel on her for seven days in a row.
Fortunately, Lin Xianyu is just a palace maid and is not worthy of the Empress Dowager's mourning.
But these days of mourning are harder to work inside and outside.
Although the Empress Dowager died suddenly, the Empress Dowager's health has been bad for the past few years, not to mention that she had been sick for a while before.
Due to the death of the Empress Dowager, I am afraid that this New Year will not be able to have a good time.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager died in the coldest winter. She came to mourn every day, so she would not suffer from the cold. She was a little older and had weak bones, but she could not stand it. Although Lin Xianyu told the kitchen to make ginger soup every day, the Empress Dowager fell ill after the mourn was mournful.
Tana goes to Renshou Palace to serve the disease every day, but she still asks the Wu Mama beside her to send her a message.
"The concubine lets you stay in Cining Palace for the time being. When the empress dowager recovers in a few days, she will definitely ask the empress dowager to transfer you back."
Lin Xianyu nodded. Su Malagu was also sick, probably because he was too sad. In addition, he was not young anymore and had coughed all day long.
Fortunately, the Empress Dowager's seven-day mourning was over and the coffin had been carried to Xiaoling Mausoleum. Because the Empress Dowager had something to say during her lifetime, she was unwilling to be buried in the Taizong Mausoleum outside the pass, and wanted to be buried with her son Shunzhi.
Therefore, Kangxi followed his grandmother's wish and ordered people to build a tomb next to Shunzhi's tomb. However, this tomb has not been completed yet, so the old lady's coffin could only be temporarily placed in the hall, and it could only be buried after the tomb was repaired.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Lin Xianyu.
The Empress Dowager died, and the plan to kill her was dead.
Her death crisis was completely eliminated, and she could find a place to retire.
Oh, by the way, after a while, I am afraid that Kangxi will get entangled again.
Lin Xianyu thought about it and felt that he was so arrogant. What kind of beauty do he want? Why did he have to focus on Wei Xianyu's body?
How to resettle the old people in the former Cining Palace is really a problem.
Lin Xianyu took care of Su Malagu for a few days until she gradually recovered, and asked her: "What will Mama Su do in the future? I think the Empress Dowager should not mind taking us in."
Lin Xianyu still has a good impression of this old lady. Xiaozhuang wanted to kill her, and Su Malagu also advised her.
Su Malagu looked at the empty Cining Palace and choked and said, "I am old and I don't go anywhere, so I stay here to show the house for the Empress Dowager."
Lin Xianyu: "Uh...what if the Empress Dowager moves in in the future?" - This Cining Palace was originally the Empress Dowager's bedroom, but there was a Empress Dowager who had a higher seniority than the Empress Dowager before, so the Empress Dowager could only live in Renshou Palace.
Su Malagu hesitated for a moment, "I will stay in Cining Palace anyway."
