Chapter 2998 Forced marriage (46)

When the first emperor died, the whole country mourned together.

The palace mourning bell rang, and for seven days and seven nights, the horn of compassion resounded through the sky.

The market is closed, the government is closed, and the bustling streets in the past are filled with paper money, lonely and deserted.

After the news of the late emperor's death came, Yun Linfeng and other courtiers all entered the palace and never returned.

In the Yun Mansion, Lin Shuwan, who has always been concerned about her husband, listened to the death knell from the palace in the distance, afraid that something bad would happen.

After all, after marrying his eldest daughter Yun Ling to the fourth prince, Yun Linfeng didn't say anything, but his heart has gradually turned to the fourth prince's side.

In addition to Pei Tingwen's performance in these years, although he is always scolded by officials as a traitor, greedy for power, and ambitious, but what people have to admit is that he does have this talent, and he is more capable of becoming an emperor than an emperor.

Especially when the first emperor was obsessed with cultivating immortals and killing innocent people indiscriminately, it was he who stepped forward to defy the imperial power, presided over the overall situation, stabilized the hearts of the people, and saved innocent people from harm.

With such a strict, fair, and absolutely principled performance, Yun Linfeng, who used to scold him every day, gradually scolded him less.

Occasionally, he would habitually swear a few words, but his expression was still calm.

This time the late emperor passed away, and Yun Linfeng was summoned to rush into the palace. Judging from the current situation, the enthronement of the fourth prince is a certainty.

However, Lin Shuwan was still worried that something might happen.

The death knell in the palace rang for seven days and seven nights, and she couldn't eat well or sleep well for seven days and seven nights.

It wasn't until the news came that the new emperor had ascended the throne and Yun Niao had been crowned empress, she was relieved, a huge stone fell to the ground, and she felt relieved.

With the enthronement of the new emperor and the burial of the late emperor, the palace is extremely busy at the moment.

After receiving the edict sent by Yun Niao, Lin Shuwan was able to enter the palace to meet her.

Mother and daughter haven't seen each other for a while, Lin Shuwan brought Yun Si and Yun Yan into the palace together.

It was the time of the late emperor's funeral, so Lin Shuwan didn't dare to show it off, so she brought her two daughters into the palace in simple clothes.

The low-key carriage drove away from the gate of Yunfu, passed through layers of strictly guarded and closed palace gates, and headed deep into the palace.

Yun Yan, who was already a half-grown girl, sat by the window of the carriage, lifted a corner of the small curtain with her hand, and peeked out of the carriage with a peculiar curiosity.

In fact, there is no scenery. In the depths of the palace, there are high walls everywhere, as high as ten or twenty meters high. Looking from the ground, it feels like it is surrounded by layers of narrow peaks.

It is too high, like a shackle, binding the vast blue sky, making the sky become a small piece.

After watching it for a long time, it is depressing.

It seems that the fresh and free heart is being suppressed.

Yun Yan, who was just a lively girl, took a peek around, but didn't see anything special. There were rows of solemn soldiers standing on both sides of the alleyway, each of them was like a stone sculpture, motionless, frighteningly cold .

Yun Yan curled her lips, lowered the curtains, and said, "There's nothing good about this palace, it's so boring, it's not pretty at all."

I don't know how a place like this can attract so many girls, and they want to come in even if they squeeze their heads.

"Yan'er!"

Lin Shuwan scolded her in a low voice, with a serious expression, motioning for her to keep silent.

"This is the palace, not at home. How did I tell you before? When you enter the palace, you should speak less, act carefully, and don't talk nonsense."
