Chapter 1509: 1504: Both the Emperor and Empress PerishedChapter 1509: Chapter 1504: Both the Emperor and Empress Perished
Lan Qi felt his blood boiling with excitement at the sight, barely able to resist charging in to witness the scene of Chu Yihan’s death.
But Yun Dan appeared in time to stop him, even dragging him out.
Yun Dan’s eyes were cold and indifferent, “If you keep being so restless, then just wait to be killed by Chu Yihan’s men! And forget about getting involved in any significant affairs of the court.”
“Have you gone mad? Chu Yihan is about to die. His residence is in chaos, guarded only by his chief imperial guard, with Su Yingxue nowhere to be seen. Even if he’s not dead, he’s teetering on the brink of life and death!”
Lan Qi’s face showed a hint of rage, and in his sinister gaze, there was only the eager hate of wanting to kill Chu Yihan.
All of the Da Chu Royal Family must die!
“As long as Chu Yihan’s death hasn’t been announced, you must wait. Unless you see his corpse with your own eyes, you can’t afford to take this matter lightly!” Yun Dan said sternly.
She personally witnessed how the princess, Wu Dao, and Chen Ruobai were all defeated by Chu Yihan and Su Yingxue. These people were enigmatic, yet Chu Yihan and Su Yingxue ruthlessly killed them all!
This couple was extremely treacherous, and she must not fail again!
She was determined to avenge the princess and Feng Qing!
Chu Yihan and Su Yingxue must die!
Her strike must be deadly!
Yun Dan persuaded Lan Qi to come out, telling him to restrain himself and to keep waiting unless he saw Chu Yihan’s corpse, or else not to show himself too soon!
Lan Qi ran out of patience but was calmed by Yun Dan. She used matters of the royal court to trap him, forcing him to think about how, after Chu Yihan’s death, they would deal with Chu Heng so that the young emperor couldn’t stay secure in court, creating more chaos to benefit the remnants of the Great Qi Dynasty to restore their nation and no longer be enslaved.
Lan Qi wrote down all the information he held on officials, including their personal matters and those who outwardly showed loyalty to Chu Yihan but were actually confidants of the Lan family.
Upon receiving this list, Yun Dan first scrutinised it thoroughly, then made a copy and sent it out.
She didn’t tell Lan Qi to whom she had sent the list, but she knew very well that this person would definitely turn the Great Cheng Dynasty’s court upside down.
Just waiting…
For Chu Yihan to die!
Lan Qi and Yun Dan had waited outside the Imperial Mausoleum for half a month. Chu Yihan’s residence was sealed tight as a drum. Most of the guards who protected the Imperial Mausoleum had been transferred there, with barely any sign of people entering or exiting. Mo Qi, as the commander, patrolled every day, not letting a single strange bird fly in.
Lan Qi’s patience was exhausted. Just as he was looking for another opportunity to investigate, he suddenly heard the sound of a mourning procession coming from within the Mausoleum.
He and Yun Dan hid in the shadows and watched a solemn and dignified team emerge from the residence, carrying a coffin towards the Imperial Mausoleum.
The coffin was of a scale befitting a member of the royal family, unimaginably grand, with all the palace guards dressed in plain white, scattering paper money on the road and looking ashen-faced.
Each one mourned as if they had lost the dearest person to them.
Lan Qi’s eyes sparkled with excitement, “Finally, the time has come! Chu Yihan is dead!”
Apart from Chu Yihan, no one else would have such an arrangement, and despite the minimal set-up, he could tell that this mourning ceremony was fitting only for Chu Yihan.
“How wonderful!”
Lan Qi felt like his blood was surging, and he cried out with tears in his eyes, “Brother! I have finally… avenged you!”
The fate of the Chu Royal Family was about to end!
The end was near!
“Ha ha ha!”
Lan Qi roared with laughter.
Yun Dan, still hidden carefully observing, saw the mourning procession and ceremonial guards but did not see Su Yingxue?
She was the person whom Chu Yihan deeply loved. If Chu Yihan died, how could she not be present?
Yun Dan continued to urge Lan Qi to control his emotions, but suddenly she saw someone rushing out from the end of the procession.
Su Yingxue, clad in plain grey mourning attire, rushed into the procession, pushing aside the palace guards carrying the coffin. Before entering the Imperial Mausoleum, she stopped the procession, crying out with all her might, “Do not take away my husband! Put him down! Put him down!”
“Your Highness!”
Mo Qi stepped forward to support her, his eyes bloodshot with sorrow, “Your Highness, please restrain your grief, do not let excessive sorrow harm your health. The Emperor… he is to be buried in the Imperial Mausoleum.”
Originally, Chu Yihan and Su Yingxue had come here seeking to keep a low profile.
If Chu Yihan could not be saved, he would be directly interred in the Imperial Mausoleum. Once the realm was at peace again, they would announce his demise to avoid overwhelming the young Crown Prince in Jiang Du City and to prevent the courtiers from being thrown into turmoil at the sudden news of a calamity.
“No! I don’t care! I want to keep him! I can save him! Just wait… just wait a little longer!”
Su Yingxue’s heart-wrenching cries made the guards carrying the coffin somewhat unable to bear it; tears surged in their eyes.
The loss of a renowned Emperor was a pain in the heart of every single one of them!
But…
“Mo Qi, put him down, I can… I can still save him, I can.”
Su Yingxue pleaded bitterly, holding onto Chu Yihan’s coffin unwilling to let go, as if clutching the last straw that could save her life.
With Chu Yihan dead, her heart was shattered too!
How could she live on alone?
She had to save him again!
Save him one more time!
“Your Majesty, the Emperor has been gone for three days, to keep him here would only…”
Mo Qi couldn’t bear to continue speaking. Chu Yihan had instructed him before his death, if Su Yingxue was overwhelmed with grief, at most after three days, he must be buried, cutting off her obsessions to prevent her from contemplating a burial alongside him!
The Emperor was decisively against anyone committing suicide for him!
Mo Qi, supporting the weeping and exhausted Su Yingxue, could only have the maidservants take her to one side to rest, while he then proceeded to enter Chu Yihan into the Imperial Mausoleum.
But just as he was commanding people to carry Chu Yihan’s coffin and open the stone door of the Imperial Mausoleum, a sudden sound made him freeze—Bang—
Blood splattered, spraying across his face, causing him to open his eyes wide in shock!
“Your Highness?”
“Empress!”
On the stone door of the Imperial Mausoleum, blood slid down following the figure; Su Yingxue had died upon impact in front of the Mausoleum’s entrance.
Mo Qi held her, and heard her say just one sentence, “Her Majesty… wishes to be buried with the Emperor, Her Majesty wants… to sleep by his side; Mo Qi, do not separate us.”
“Your Highness!”
Mo Qi knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.
All the people at the Imperial Mausoleum knelt down and cried in deep sorrow, “We see the Empress off on her journey to heaven!”
“We see the Empress off!”
“We see… the Empress off!”
Su Yingxue’s wish to sleep by Chu Yihan’s side was fulfilled; both the Emperor and the Empress were no more.
Above the Imperial Mausoleum, even the heavens seemed to grieve, as the light rain washed the earth for several days.
Mo Qi and his companions kept a kneeling vigil outside the Imperial Mausoleum, sternly guarding the news, not announcing Chu Yihan’s death nor Su Yingxue’s suicide burial, just keeping watch over the Imperial Mausoleum.
Such news, once spread, would surely shock the court and plunge the entire Great Cheng Dynasty into a state of emergency.
Outside the Imperial Mausoleum, Yun Dan and Lan Qi’s hearts were unscrupulously elated.
“Chu Yihan is dead, the Chu Imperial Family… you are finished!” Lan Qi laughed wildly and unrestrainedly.
