Chapter 600: Palace Fights Are All Scheming

She had originally handed all these over to the Ministry of Rites. After all, she was a concubine in the harem and was only in charge temporarily. She could make decisions on small matters, but not on such big matters. She couldn't just let them dig a hole and bury them, so of course she went to ask the empress dowager.

But the Queen Mother had been tortured by nightmares and was somewhat delirious. She spoke incoherently and sometimes couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams. She would shout "ghosts" when she saw people appear in front of her...

After admiring his masterpiece for a while, he finally had to go to Emperor Yongkang with a sad face. Unexpectedly, he saw Qiao Wan's ghost on Emperor Yongkang's shoulder!

I clearly didn’t see it before, how could it float away and then float back?

Xiao Yun was not surprised by the existence of ghosts. After all, the original body's soul had been floating for a while and was still conscious. Otherwise, it would not have known the truth and would not have come here.

But it won't last too long. It should dissipate at most after 57 days. Just like in the previous world, it cannot turn into a physical entity to attack living people.

Looking at Qiao Wan's soul, which was looking at Emperor Yongkang with a ferocious expression, could it be that she already knew that she had died from that string of acacia seeds?

As for how he knew it, seeing how Emperor Yongkang was stroking the coffin with a guilty look on his face, I'm afraid this guy blew himself up. I just don't know which imperial physician made the diagnosis. I'll ask the palace servants who are serving here later.

She withdrew her gaze from "Qiao Wan" and walked to Emperor Yongkang, kneeling and bowing. Then, feigning worry and embarrassment, she whispered, "Your Majesty, the officials from the Ministry of Rites have come to say that the rest of the Empress's funeral ceremony is ready. Only the mausoleum... even if we go to Huangjue Temple for burial, it will be too late. The location of the coffin must be decided by Your Majesty."

Now there are only the tombs of the late emperor and the previous emperor in the imperial mausoleum. The tomb of the previous emperor has not even been sealed yet, waiting to be carried in for burial after the empress dowager passes away.

There is space in the concubine's mausoleum next to it, and the deceased concubines can be buried there at any time, but Qiao Wan is the queen, so she can't be placed in the concubine's mausoleum first.

Emperor Yongkang raised his head and looked at her, and "Qiao Wan" followed suit. It was unknown what that thing was thinking, but it actually floated towards her with its fangs and claws bared, grabbing her face with its hands.

Not only was he unable to touch it, he was also bounced away and stopped about five or six meters away. He covered his hands that had become transparent, opened his mouth and screamed silently.

Seeing that guy's angry and fearful eyes, Xiao Yun sneered in his heart, thinking that the thick layer of merit in his soul was just for looks?

However, the other party's disturbance made Xiao Yun discover something different. It seemed that it was not what she thought. The ghosts in this world were not incapable of harming people, but not all ghosts could do so. For example, Qiao Wan had the potential to become an evil ghost, otherwise the golden light of merit would not have harmed her.

Because of Xiao Yun's glance over, Qiao Wan also knew that the other party could see her, and she gave up the idea of coming over and trying to pinch him.

Seeing that she had behaved herself, Xiao Yun withdrew his consciousness and looked at Emperor Yongkang, waiting for his reply.

Emperor Yongkang had been feeling down for the past two days due to grief, and with the ghost around him, he was also somewhat affected by the negative energy. His mind was not very clear. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Let's continue to worship in Huangjue Temple for a while. Let the Ministry of Works recruit people to quickly build the main coffin of my mausoleum. Let's settle the empress first, and we can take our time with other things."

Xiao Yun nodded in agreement, but in his heart he was complaining, "You think this is true love? You put your true love inside, but continue to build outside. You won't let her rest in peace even if you die."

Also, she had a hunch that when Chu Mingyi talked about Qiao Wan just now, he no longer had the deep affection and sadness he had before, but rather a complicated feeling, with guilt and some rejection.

Xiao Yun was right. Chu Mingyi's feelings towards Qiao Wan were indeed complicated. He felt that he loved her, but he also felt guilty knowing that she died because of the things he gave her. But he was more worried that she would turn into a ghost and come to settle the score with him.

There's a saying that goes, "Great favors can turn into hatred." This means that when a favor is so great that you can't repay it, you can only hope the benefactor dies soon. Similarly, no matter how much you love someone, if you make a mistake, you don't want to see them again because you'll feel guilty.

Xiao Yun didn't care about all this. She left after getting the answer and let the two of them go on their own to experience the love story between a man and a ghost.

After having someone pass on Emperor Yongkang's words to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works, Xiao Yun stopped caring about it. Now she was in charge of the harem and had a lot of things to do.

With the power of the palace, even if it was only temporary, it would be a waste to use it. She asked someone to summon her original mother and sister-in-law. It happened that all the ladies of honor were crying in the palace these days, which made things much more convenient.

Xiao Yun first chatted with them about some family matters. When they were about to leave, he handed an ancient book containing military strategies and formations, as well as a martial arts secret book, to Mrs. Su, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo.

Su was also from a prominent family. Although it was a patriarchal family, she was knowledgeable. She glanced at it and then looked at her daughter in surprise.

"Yun'er, this is..."

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "My daughter discovered this by accident. I don't understand military books very well, but I copied a few of the secret manuals and practiced them. They are indeed useful."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of Yuhua Stone from the flowerpot on the flower stand at the door, squeezed it hard, and the Yuhua Stone broke into several pieces.

Su:!!!

My original sister-in-law Liang and Zhang:!!!

At first, they didn't think it was some amazing secret. After all, they knew that although their sister-in-law was well-read, she was not knowledgeable about military affairs. But once she showed her skills, they immediately realized that they were narrow-minded.

Being able to allow a weak little girl to break stones with her bare hands in a short time is definitely a magical skill!

From this, it can be seen that the other book is definitely not an ordinary item. So the three of them left Liuyun Palace with excitement, especially Su, who subconsciously covered her chest with her hands. Those who didn't know her would think that she was not feeling well, but in fact she was afraid that the two books she had hidden there would fall.

Xiao Yun still decided to let the Duke of Zhenguo go to fight against the Man Kingdom and the Lie Kingdom. The military power cannot be lost. After all, the Qi Kingdom will belong to her adopted son, and the Duke of Zhenguo, as his grandfather, will be in charge of guarding the country for his grandson.

It's not that she couldn't give the Duke of Zhenguo the gunpowder recipe, she even had guns and cannons ready, but there was no need for that. The two countries of Man and Lie were just small countries with limited military forces. If they didn't unite, they would not pose a threat to Dali. As long as they knew in advance and found a way to divide and conquer, their chances of winning were still very high.

She gave the secret manuals and military strategies purely to ensure the safety of the three Dukes of Zhenguo, after all, that was the mission target.

Although there was only less than a month left, the father and his two sons all had a basic knowledge of martial arts, and this technique was specially chosen by her for quick learning, so as long as they practiced it, they would still have time.

Of course, the skill she just showed wasn't due to martial arts training, but rather the powerful pills she took...
