Chapter 248: Burial
After Emperor Jingwen’s last will was announced to the world, the Sixth Prince Ye Ming was confirmed to be the next emperor, and the Ministry of Rites also began to work on various matters related to the new emperor’s enthronement.
The world has always been like this. It will continue to operate as usual without anyone, even if that person is the emperor.
Whoever is missing will be quickly replaced.
Ye Shuo, together with others, knelt in front of Emperor Jingwen’s coffin for three whole days. Regardless of whether the people around them were being sincere or not, they all looked very sad.
The Imperial Concubine cried and fainted several times, and her pointed eyes were swollen like walnuts. Seeing this scene, Prince Su couldn’t help but feel a pang of bitterness in his heart. He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, “Prince Rui, why don’t you accept the order?”
“Son…I accept your order.”
When he stood up, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but feel dazed for a moment. It was Yao Zhi who helped him up from behind, and Ye Shuo finally came back to his senses.
In the end, the emperor still cared about him.
When the Sixth Prince saw the imperial edict made of brocade, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, but there was not much surprise on his face.
