The maids and eunuchs nearby all rushed to the side hall, and Taohong also ran over. Soon she turned pale with fright and ran out of it. She knelt in front of Yi Bin and cried: "Mother, Guo Guiren is really gone. Guo Guiren is gone."
."
"You're talking nonsense!" Yi Bin rushed to grab her shoulders, shook her violently, and cried heartbrokenly. "She was fine last night, and I even fed her. You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense."
Taohong was rubbed to a state of disgrace, and both the master and servant were crying sadly. Yibin didn't even care that Lanqi was here. She got up crying and stumbled to her sister's room. In front of the door, the maids and eunuchs all fell to the ground and cried, crying one after another.
The noise was so loud that it made people upset.
"Master, what should we do?" Yu Kui came to Lan Qi's side and said softly, "It's better to go. Anyway, we have to go to Cining Palace to say something."
"younger sister……"
Before Lan Qi could speak, Yi Bin's shrill cries came from inside. Lan Qi walked forward as if she was possessed. When she was approaching the door, Yu Kui couldn't help but persuade her: "There is nothing to see in the dead, Master."
Be careful of bad luck."
"I just want to take a few glances so that I can go and reply to the Empress Dowager." Lan Qi insisted on going in, but she didn't go in after entering the door. Instead, she looked at the bed over there from a distance, where Yi Bin was holding her baby in her arms.
The breathless sister cried loudly, and I could vaguely hear what she said: "Sister, I'm sorry for you, how can I live without you..."
Lan Qi's heart sank, but she was not sad at all. Was it because she knew early on that Xuan Ye was going to kill her, so it didn't feel sudden? Or did she feel that it was more painful for such a crazy person to live than to die? It was an emotion that could not be explained.
The only thing that made her feel sad was perhaps her cold heart that was indifferent to the fact that she was watching her life pass away.
"Taohong, I'm going to Cining Palace to reply. There are rules for weddings and funerals in the palace, and someone will make arrangements. You should take good care of the Yi concubines, and the Rong concubines will also come." Lan Qi calmly ordered,
When she was about to leave with Yu Kui, she suddenly heard the palace maid exclaiming. She turned around and saw Yi Bin collapsed on the bed, as if she had fainted from crying.
"Bring your empress out quickly." Lan Qi couldn't leave now. She watched the palace maids and eunuchs carrying the Yi concubine out from the dead body with all their hands and feet. After that, they either invited the imperial doctor or notified the Sixth Palace, and left in a hurry.
Many people, Lan Qi could not bear to leave the unconscious Yi Bin alone, but fortunately, she was carried back to the house and Tao Hong pinched her hard, and Yi Bin recovered in one breath and woke up.
The person who woke up was exhausted, probably because she was too sad and excited from crying. Her eyes were suddenly filled with bloodshot eyes, which looked scary. She kept sobbing and couldn't calm down. What Lan Qi heard the most was
"younger sister".
The palace maid got some cold water, soaked it with a veil and put it on Yi Bin's forehead. She twitched under the cold, but she seemed to have come back to her senses. She stared blankly at the person in front of her. When she saw Lan Qi, Teng
He stood up and grabbed her hand, crying and begging again: "De Bin, please save my sister, Hui Bin wants to kill her."
"Guo Guiren is dead, please wake up." Lan Qi looked at her unusually calmly, and bit by bit freed her hand.
Yi Bin stayed for a while, her body suddenly softened, and she stopped crying or fussing. She was just lost in thought. At this moment, the people in charge outside arrived one after another. Rong Bin and Hui Bin also arrived one after another. Lan Qi came out to welcome her.
Bai said: "Sister Hui Bin, it's better not to go in now. Yi Bin will tell everyone she sees that you killed Guo Guiren."
Hui Bin's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief: "Me?"
Concubine Rong advised her: "You have been taking care of this matter. She may have had wild thoughts. Of course you did not kill the person. Just wait until the imperial doctor examines the body and tells her clearly."
The two of them waited outside. When Lan Qi said she was going to Cining Palace, Hui Bin said: "Sister, wait a little longer for the imperial doctor to reply. We are all witnesses to each other. Otherwise, if Yi Bi goes around talking nonsense, who will clear my name?"
?”
Concubine Rong winked at her, and Lan Qi couldn't force her to leave, but she just didn't understand why Concubine Hui said what she said, and why there was no expression on her face when she lied. She was sure that the emperor would not say it to a third person.
, or do you know it in your heart, but openly or covertly pretend to be okay in front of yourself?
The three of them sat there, Yi Bin crying from time to time. Not long after, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came with the imperial physician who performed the autopsy. Hui Bin said to go in and report in front of Yi Bin, and everyone poured into the inner hall again, Tao Hong
He hurriedly put down the curtain on the bed to hide Yi Bin's embarrassment.
"Sister Yi, the imperial doctor is here. None of us have heard the autopsy results yet. You keep saying that I killed people. Please listen to what the imperial doctor said?" Hui Bin looked serious, but she was not in a hurry. She calmly sat aside and pointed.
The imperial doctor lying on the ground asked, "How did Guo Guiren die?"
The imperial doctor bowed his head and said: "Guo Guiren died of heart failure. I have checked and found no signs of poisoning or other external injuries. He did not die of suffocation. It is inferred that it was natural heart failure. Guo Guiren's recent mood
The ups and downs have probably damaged my heart and lungs."
After these words, no one in the tent moved. Hui Bin asked Taohong to take a look. Taohong looked at her and said, "I'm in a daze, it's okay."
Concubine Rong sighed: "Guo Guiren's fate is not good. You can go down and everything should be done according to the rules. But after all, she gave birth to Princess Kejing for the emperor. I will go back to the Queen Mother to see if I can honor her."
He pointed at Lan Qi and said, "Cining Palace, please trouble my sister to answer her. Please speak more tactfully, so as not to scare the Empress Dowager."
Lan Qi was eager to leave, so she stood up and left. Behind her, she heard Concubine Rong admonishing her: "Sister Yi Bi, don't think so wildly. Although it was your sister Hui who made the decision this time, how dare she kill someone? It was your sister Hu Si...
…”
Lan Qi walked out, and her voice gradually became less audible. Yu Kui supported her and sighed: "This slave is making her head dizzy."
"I'll take a rest when I get back later. I must have scared you." Lan Qi was very indifferent. After the two left, they rushed straight to Cining Palace, but saw Xiangyue wandering in front of the door. She greeted them happily when she saw them, "
Master, are you okay?"
"Have you replied?" Lan Qi asked.
Xiangyue nodded repeatedly, "I've come back to you, mama. She said I understand and asked my slave to wait for your return here. The Empress Dowager is chanting sutras in the Great Buddha Hall, and mama asked you to go directly."
After walking around to the big Buddha hall, Grandma was sitting outside waiting. When she saw her coming, she pulled her to sit down together and asked softly: "Are you scared? What a coincidence, you went to Guo Guiren and disappeared."
"I just went over and didn't say a few words when the people in the palace discovered that she was gone." Lan Qi recalled the scene just now and said to her mother, "Because the emperor told me early in the morning that this day would come.
So I'm not afraid, but I still feel a little uncomfortable because of the unexplainable taste in my heart. Right now, Sister Rong and Hui Bin are cooking, so let me tell the Empress Dowager."
Grandma smiled and said, "Master, you must be very happy that you are so calm. It's just that there is no one who shouldn't be alive, so there is no need to make a fuss."
"Mommy, who shouldn't live?" Lan Qi was a little confused at this moment. Fortunately, she could completely relax next to her and say what she wanted to say. Before the Empress Dowager came out, she hurriedly said
, "Guo Guiren has given birth to a princess for the emperor. Do you think the emperor will think of this woman when he sees the princess in the future? Auntie, I think I understand some things, but when I think about it, I feel like...
If you don’t understand, it’s fine, but if something happens like this and you contradict yourself, you’ll feel uncomfortable.”
"I don't know how to enlighten you, my slave. Maybe after years of accumulation in life, you will suddenly understand the things that have troubled you, or maybe you will still be confused when you get old." Mammy said kindly and gently, "But who doesn't have some?
What you can’t understand? From my perspective, whether you are confused or smart, the most important thing is to understand how to live. As for the life and death of others, can you take care of it? So if you can’t understand such a thing, then
If you're confused, just be confused. If you can't figure it out clearly, will it really have any impact on your life?"
Lan Qi tilted her head and listened, seeming to understand what her grandma meant, but her heart was still hazy somewhere. It seemed not because of these few words, but when she said: "Yi Bin is crying like that. It's really pitiful. I
I also have a sister."
At this moment, in Yikun Palace, everyone who needed to leave had dispersed. Concubine Rong had already left for Ningshou Palace. She was going to go with Concubine Hui, but Concubine Hui said that Guo Guiren had not yet been buried, so she had to stay and watch.
She has always been in charge of this matter, and she has to finish it well. Concubine Rong will not force it, but I wonder if she would have thought that not long after she left Yikun Palace, the two people who were in the same situation just now can already sit down and talk properly.
.
At this moment in the dormitory, Yi Bin had regained her composure. She drank the ginseng soup in large gulps to replenish her energy. She covered her chest and said, "Thanks to her, she used to yell so easily. I cried all morning and my sternum was about to burst.
It hurts so much."
Hui Bin sat aside and said, "But I see that De Bin looks very calm. I don't know what she will say to her superiors when she looks back when you cry like this."
Yi Bin breathed slowly, frowned and said: "She is indeed very calm, so calm that I almost couldn't continue acting. This woman is so strange. Isn't she the most compassionate and kind-hearted? Why is she not moved at all when she sees me so sad?"
, Sister Hui, is your method really effective?"
"It doesn't matter if it works or not, you cried and people died. She was the only one who saw you looking so sad. She also heard you say that you hated me for killing your sister. We have less contact these days.
I hope she will put down her grudge." Hui Bin rubbed her forehead and sighed, "Just like Rong Bin and I couldn't defeat Concubine Tong, maybe Wu Yashi can't be shaken either. In this case, we shouldn't fight with Concubine Rong.
She is doing evil things, so you have to wait and see and act."
Yi Bin sneered: "I hope she can pity me in her heart and say a few nice words to her superiors. I hope that in at least one or two years, they will forget about my sister."
