Xuan Ye's hand on her shoulder could no longer tell whether it was Lan Qi's trembling or his own trembling. He longed to see Lan Qi's tears. Tears only proved the return of the soul. He was afraid of her three souls and seven souls.
, since then, with the passing of Yinzuo, I am afraid that she will never change back to the Wu Yalanqi she once was.
"Yin Zuo, I'll pick you up." Lan Qi turned around again and took the child into her arms. In the past mornings, when she held him like this, she would act coquettishly and want to sleep for a while. When she was in a good temper, she would wake him up by coaxing him.
Occasionally when she gets irritable, she will scold her a few times or slap her butt twice, and whether she cries or laughs, her son is alive in front of her eyes, his soft little body is warm and sticky, and hugging him every day is her greatest happiness.
"It's hot, why is your body so cold?" Lan Qi hugged the child and kept rubbing her cheek against his, "Is it cold, Yinzuo? Your mother is holding you. You won't feel cold when your mother is here. Son
...You should say something to me, okay?"
Xuan Ye squatted down slowly. From the time of the accident to now, he made an exception and asked them to send the child back. He did not allow anyone to disturb Concubine De, and let those palace rules go to hell. He could not imagine the pain he had endured in Lan Qi.
With hundreds of times of torture on his body, he couldn't imagine forcing her to do something she didn't want to do at this moment, but he had already lost Yin Zuo and could not lose Lan Qi again.
"Lan Qi, you can do anything you want, but promise me, you will recover one day." Xuan Ye held her hand tightly, and the cold hand made him tremble, "Don't leave Yinzhen and Wen behind."
Xian, don’t abandon me, promise me?”
Lan Qi hugged the child, her eyes dull. I wonder if she heard what Xuan Ye said. Her soul wandered somewhere. She broke away from Xuan Ye's hand and hugged Yin more firmly and tightly.
Zuo, gently caressed his body, fearing that he would be cold or in pain. She thought that such caressing could bring back the child's life.
Outside the door, the Queen Mother came in person and burst into tears when she saw this scene.
At present, the palace was in chaos. Each palace was forbidden to leave its own palace. The brothers were sent to their respective mothers. The Empress Dowager in Cining Palace fell ill after hearing the news.
But after all, she has experienced countless life and death, and she is the woman who walked into the Forbidden City through the smoke and flames of war. The Queen Mother still has some sense, and sent someone to tell the Queen Mother to handle the funeral affairs of the sixth elder brother according to the rules. Concubine De and
Her children still have a long way to go. They cannot do too many extraordinary things this time, and cannot let Yinzuo's departure become a reason for others to criticize his mother and brother in the future.
After Xuan Ye withdrew, the Queen Mother relayed the words of the Queen Mother to the Emperor and calmed down to persuade him: "The Emperor has to think about the future. Now that she is in so much pain, why should she wait for some ruthless ministers to remonstrate and accuse De
Does your concubine disregard etiquette? Your Majesty, can you bear it?"
Xuan Ye was extremely helpless. He looked haggard after not sleeping all night, and his voice was a little hoarse. He said in a low voice: "Mother Huang, I'm afraid that Lan Qi will go crazy if that happens."
The Queen Mother said: "But if she guards the child like this, for one day or two days, how long can the child stay? She will see more cruel things. Your Majesty, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. If you can't be cruel, go back to Qianqing Palace.
Leave this to me."
Xuan Ye couldn't be cruel, but he understood what Lan Qi would see if the stalemate continued like this, and it felt like the pain of a thousand arrows piercing his heart. He finally nodded heavily and helplessly, and looked back at Lan Qi, who was holding the child with a dull look, her teeth clenched tightly.
Biting her lip, she turned around and walked away without looking back.
After the emperor left, the Queen Mother came in and tried to persuade Lan Qi to no avail. She had no choice but to cruelly ask the eunuchs and maids to force the mother and son to separate. During the struggle, the Queen Mother heard Lan Qi shouting "Don't hurt him." Her heart was broken.
The child was forcibly taken away from her arms. After struggling several times to no avail, Lan Qi watched blankly as they dressed and buried Yinzuo. From the beginning to the end, her face was as dead as a stone carving, without any tears. Until the little one
The body was put into the coffin and was about to be carried out. The severe pain that seemed to have ripped out her heart stimulated her to regain some thoughts. She finally cried out and begged them not to take the child away.
As the coffin was carried out of the house, a thunder exploded in the sky, black clouds rolled in, and a heavy rain poured down. Everyone was afraid that the rain would corrode the body of Brother Six, so they all found big umbrellas to facilitate the removal of the coffin. The maids stopped De Concubine.
Asking her to follow him again, seeing the coffin about to be sent out of the Yonghe Palace, Lan Qi struggled like crazy and rushed into the crowd, grabbing her son's coffin.
"My dear, my dear, please let Brother Six go."
"Mother, please take care of yourself."
There were voices of dissuasion, but seeing the mother who had lost her son in so much pain, no one dared to pull her back. Lan Qi took off her clothes and covered Yin Zuo's body, put her hands into the coffin, held his cheeks and kissed him one last time.
One mouthful, "E Niang won't let you get wet in the rain, son, don't leave E Niang..."
The Queen Mother, who was standing under the eaves and supporting the palace maid to stand still, was crying so hard that she could not speak. However, there were still calm people there. She was afraid that there would be no end to Concubine De's behavior, so she immediately had people pull Concubine De out and ordered everyone to quickly
After several struggles, the coffin of Brother Six was finally sent out of the gate of Yonghe Palace. In the heavy rain, only one voice could be heard: "My child, don't take my child away..." The thunder continued and the heavy rain continued.
It poured down, and the cries penetrated it, piercing the heart and lungs to pieces.
Concubine De finally fainted in the pouring rain and was carried back to the palace by the palace maid. The imperial doctor had been waiting here for a long time. I am afraid that he would have to come to Yonghe Palace every day to take care of Concubine De for a long time to come.
This heavy rain did not stop until nightfall. It seemed that the Forbidden City had not experienced such grief for a long time. In previous years, it was not common for children who died young or were raised in the elder brother's house. There was always a feeling of closeness and distance, and there was no such thing as this.
The lively little guy like Sixth Prince grew up every day, and died suddenly without any illness or pain. Not to mention that Concubine De was devastated, everyone in the palace who liked Sixth Prince was heartbroken over this.
The atmosphere of sadness permeated the Forbidden City, but another inappropriate emotion was also spreading: fear.
Many people are afraid of this incident. If the eldest brother had not rewarded the eunuchs with snacks, if the fifth elder brother had not gone to relieve himself first and then come back to eat snacks, and if the prince had put the food in his mouth earlier, what would have happened in one day?
Within a short period of time, the emperor would lose the crown prince, four princes, and even the third elder brother would not be spared if he had not taken leave and came to the study.
Desserts are meant for the prince to eat, so he doesn't have to share them with his brothers. If he eats them alone, the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty will be separated from yin and yang at this moment.
In the Chengqian Palace, Yinzhen had been in his room all day and night. The imperial concubine had come to see him countless times, but she did not dare to ask any more questions every time. She had never seen her son like this. She heard that the sixth elder brother
Just when he fell down next to his son, he saw with his own eyes the tragic situation of Yin Zuo vomiting blood, and then continued to struggle to find his brother until he was told that the sixth elder brother was dead. He understood that his brother would never come back, so he
That's how it became.
The imperial concubine returned without success again. She didn't know how to persuade the child, so she cried when she returned to the bedroom. She liked Yinzuo very much, but now that the cute little naughty boy is gone, Yinzhen has become like this again. He was originally happy and in good condition.
days, and suddenly the future is no longer visible.
A palace maid came in with a message from outside. After hearing this, Qinglian reported: "Empress De Fei is awake."
The imperial concubine wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and shook her head solemnly: "For her now, being awake is the biggest torture. You said that if the child is sick, he will not live long if he is born, so be prepared in your heart.
, no matter how painful it is, it is limited. It suddenly disappears. A few days ago, he was still here acting coquettishly with me."
Qinglian remained calm and comforted her: "Your Majesty, you have to take good care of your fourth brother and the affairs of the Sixth Palace now. The Empress Dowager is ill and she seems to be feeling unwell. Someone needs to take care of the affairs in the palace. The Emperor is in so much pain.
How can I take care of this when I am busy with the affairs of the court?"
The imperial concubine was suddenly startled, her whole body tensed up, and she held Qinglian's hand tightly, "Will she take Yinzhen back? She has no son, will she come to take Yinzhen back?"
Qinglian was asked, and she really couldn't answer. She had just heard several palace maids discussing this matter, saying that the emperor would definitely do a lot of things in order to appease Concubine De.
Brother sent it back. Anyway, the fourth elder brother also knew that he was the biological son of Concubine De, and the fourth elder brother liked his younger brother so much.
"Everyone in the palace will definitely turn to her. She is very pitiful without her son. I know..." The imperial concubine's eyes were dazed, and she suddenly came out of the sad mood. Her face was full of tension, and she kept murmuring, "She
You can't do that, Yinzhen is my son."
Qinglian was worried that her master would be as aggressive as he had been in the past, so she tried to persuade her anyway: "Empress De Fei is not that kind of person, let alone Princess Wen Xian. The princess is still so young, and she keeps shouting, "Empress De Concubine"
My heart softened."
The imperial concubine came back to her senses and comforted herself: "Yes, yes, there is still the princess. She also has a daughter. Just bring Wen Xian back. She won't come to snatch Yinzhen from me." But as he spoke, the emperor
The imperial concubine started crying again. She was really frightened. Thinking about it, if Yinzhen also ate that snack, she would definitely not be able to survive now. All the happiness for so many years was given to her by her son. If Yinzhen died,
She doesn't want to live anymore.
While they were talking, a palace maid ran in from outside and said excitedly: "Madam, Brother Si said he was hungry and asked the slaves to prepare food."
Hope flashed in the eyes of the imperial concubine, and she immediately wiped her tears and went to her son's room. However, her son's reaction still made her helpless. Yinzhen just ate quietly without saying a word to anyone. She didn't dare to ask a few questions.
If I ask more questions, now that he can eat, he is already Amitabha.
At this moment, in the Yonghe Palace, cries can still be heard from time to time. The ones crying are the palace maids and eunuchs who are sad that their little master is gone. In the bedroom, Lan Qi is leaning on the couch. After waking up, she returns to the front of her son's coffin being sent out of the Yonghe Palace.
He looked like he was not crying, making trouble or talking, with a lifeless expression, and his three souls and seven souls were still wandering without knowing where they were.
