After all, Concubine De is only Concubine De, and whether it is the court or the harem, the world outside Yonghe Palace will not revolve around her. The sudden tragedy did catch everyone off guard, but as long as others calmed down for a day or two, everything returned to its original state.
.The world even thinks that in the heart of the emperor, how can the life of a child be compared to the country and the country? They only have the emperor in their eyes, and they never ignore his existence as a husband, father, and descendants.
There was still the Empress Dowager lingering on the sickbed. Xuan Ye should not have left Beijing at this moment, but the old man called his grandson to him and said: "The child is gone, and you can't get him back no matter what you do. In this case, if you don't
To be strong, who should Lan Qi rely on? If she misunderstands you as a lover, she will be sorry for your affection. In fact, at this juncture, it is useless for anyone to persuade her. Even if she wants to be strong in her heart, the pain will be like the devil.
It's like a curse lingering around her body, just like a physical illness that lingers. Only when her body gets over the pain on its own can she slowly figure it out. Now if you try to comfort her or even force her to be strong, there will be no result.
, what she wants is Yinzuo, and none of you can replace him."
Xuan Ye burst into tears when he heard this, and the Empress Dowager tremblingly reached out to hold his cheek, "My grandson, I haven't shed tears for a long time. I've obviously lost so many children, but this is the first time I see you in such pain. We are really close."
No matter what, I understand why you, Ama, are so kind to a child who is only three months old."
Xuan Ye's tears did not fall, he just couldn't hide his sadness. The dignity of an emperor and the dignity of a man could not allow him to shed tears. He had already shed all his tears in front of Lan Qi that day.
"How is the investigation going? Do you know who did it?" asked the Empress Dowager.
Xuan Ye's expression was cold and deep, and he nodded slightly: "There are some features."
"Can we kill them?" The Empress Dowager's eyes were full of murderous intent, and she wished she could crush the murderer to ashes.
But the emperor shook his head, and a cold light reflected in his eyes like a sharp blade, dazzling and sharp, "I will not let Yinzuo die in vain, and I will not let them live a good life. If I keep these slaves, how can I serve this imperial court?"
The country can do something, but no matter how good it is, I will not let them live a good life."
The Empress Dowager knew that the emperor's words concealed his helplessness, but to see the emperor so calm and proud was the responsibility of an emperor. Yinzuo could not die in vain, he was better than anyone else.
I understand, but the court cannot be in chaos, and he is more helpless than anyone else.
"If Lan Qi pesters you to give an explanation for the child's death, if you can't persuade her, then let me persuade her." The Empress Dowager sighed, "But if she doesn't pester you to give an answer,
, you should also take the initiative to tell her what's going on, don't be afraid that she won't dare to face it, she still has Yinzhen and Wen Xian waiting for her to protect her."
Xuan Ye nodded in agreement. When he mentioned Yinzhen, he frowned slightly and said: "These days, the relationship between Yinzhen and the imperial concubine has been very bad. The child is sad that Yinzuo is gone. Why do you treat the imperial concubine like that? I don't know what to do.
How can we face their mother and son? Should we continue to be embarrassed like this and send Yinzhen back to Yonghe Palace?"
"You can't say that!" The Empress Dowager immediately stopped her grandson, "I can't even mention this. Yinzhen is already her life. If you take Yinzhen away, she will no longer be the imperial concubine she is now. Xuan Ye, harem
Just like the imperial court, it can never be decided with just a few words. You must consider the overall situation. What's more, Yinzuo is Yinzuo, even if you send Yinzhen back, it won't help."
Xuan Ye just said it casually and had not planned this matter. He knew the imperial concubine better than anyone else. If Yinzhen was taken away, Lan Qi's injury could not be cured, and the imperial concubine would be driven crazy.
Only here will the world really be in chaos.
This matter has been settled in Cining Palace. In fact, there have been some rumors in the palace in recent days. After all, everyone can see that the emperor loves Concubine De. Now she has lost her son, although there is Princess Wen Xian who can take him back anytime and anywhere.
She was raised in Yonghe Palace, but for the concubines, having the prince is their greatest pride and dependence. Naturally, they will focus on Chengqian Palace, and they all feel that if Concubine De is really obsessed with the emperor, the imperial concubine may not be able to defeat her.
Pillow style.
These gossips will naturally drift into the Chengqian Palace. The imperial concubine has long been worried about the drastic change in Yinzhen's temperament. Now she is even more afraid of losing her. Every day she wakes up, she is worried that her son will be taken away, and she even lost her son at one point.
She was willing to let him leave the palace and go to the study, with the excuse that it was "unclean", but in fact she was afraid that Yinzhen would leave in the morning and go directly to Yonghe Palace at night. When an imperial edict came down, she would not even be qualified to go to Yonghe Palace to rob it.
In late May, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. It used to be dark in the study room when the children got up in the morning. Now when they went out in the morning, they were already staring at the bright sun. Although Yinzhen did not talk to the people in Yonghe Palace, he went to the study room.
Without delay, the emperor had already arranged for another place to be used as a study. No one was allowed to enter the murderous place, but after all, he would pass by it every day and see the trace of Yin Zuo dying in front of his eyes.
On this day, as before, he had to go to the study room. Only then did Yinzhen walk to the gate of Chengqian Palace. While Xiao Hezi was holding an umbrella, someone hurriedly ran out of the main hall, conveying the message of inviting the imperial doctor, and a young eunuch hurried past.
The fourth elder brother ran out, and Yinzhen was waiting at the door. Seeing that the fourth elder brother was still there, the maid came over and said, "My queen wanted to get up and send you to the study, but she fainted just after leaving the bed. The slaves pinched him.
I can’t wake up Chuuya, I’m really worried to death.”
A look of panic flashed across Yinzhen's little face. After being dazed for a while, he immediately ran into the bedroom. Sure enough, he saw the imperial concubine's eyes closed and her teeth clenched, as if she was dead. Yinzao was also like this that day, but E Niang
There was no vomiting of blood.
"Eniang, Eniang..." The child rushed to the bed and shook his mother. Qinglian quickly pulled away and persuaded him not to move, and waited for the imperial doctor to come to rescue. After a long time, the imperial concubine finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Her face gradually became full of vitality, and Yinzhen heard the imperial doctor say to Qinglian, "Have you not eaten for a long time? The weather is so crowded, and your vitality has been exhausted."
Qinglian responded: "My queen can't eat. She says she doesn't feel hungry. Her heart is blocked and she won't be hungry at all."
Yinzhen raised his eyes and looked at Qinglian, who averted her eyes uneasily. She indeed told the fourth elder brother on purpose, but the imperial concubine had ordered that they were not allowed to talk too much in front of the fourth elder brother.
The imperial doctor retreated, and the imperial concubine opened her eyes and saw her son beside the bed. She saw that his head was covered with sweat and there were tears on his cheeks. She knew that her son felt sorry for her. She should be happy, but she couldn't help but shed tears. She turned away and said: "
Yinzhen, go to the study quickly, we've wasted time, and Xiao Hezi deserves to be beaten again."
But Yinzhen didn't leave. His eyes were filled with tears. He reached out and grabbed the imperial concubine's arm and shouted, "Eniang."
The imperial concubine hurriedly wiped away her tears, but no matter how hard she tried to hide it, she couldn't hide the haggard and pale look on her face. She tried her best to smile: "What's the matter? Tell E Niang."
"Mom, don't leave me." Yinzhen cried and fell on her mother's chest. The imperial concubine was stunned and cautiously reached out to hug him, for fear that she would be too anxious and the child would leave, just like the day he followed her
When Concubine Rong came back, she coldly refused her hug.
The imperial concubine said with tears in her eyes: "Silly boy, how could my mother abandon you?"
But Yinzhen cried and begged: "Don't get sick, don't die."
"Mom, I'm just tired. Silly boy, don't think too much. Just listen..."
"Eniang, I'm sorry." Yinzhen raised his face full of tears, his eyes were filled with sadness, showing his attachment to the imperial concubine, "I was afraid that the emperor would send me back to Concubine De, and I was afraid that Eniang would be sad.
I just ignore E Niang, I think, when I think of E Niang also hating Yinzhen, I won’t be reluctant to let him go."
The imperial concubine looked at the child in astonishment, with her mouth half-opened and unable to say anything. Yinzhen cried and begged her: "I don't want to go back to Yonghe Palace. E Niang, can you let Yinzuo come back? I agreed with Yinzuo,
Let him take care of Concubine De, mother-in-law, I want a younger brother..."
The imperial concubine held the child and burst into tears. She thought she had been abandoned by her son, and was afraid that if she tried to keep him, she would be even more disgusted. She thought her son would leave soon. She knew that Concubine De was pitiful, but she didn't want to
Losing Yinzhen, Yinzhen was everything to her.
Really holding her son in her arms, the imperial concubine could better understand the pain of Concubine De, but she could not overcome her own selfishness. She could not be so kind and generous. She could only promise her son: "Eniang will not let anyone take care of her."
If you leave, you will always be E Niang's son."
A heart ailment requires a heart-warming doctor, imperial doctors always like to say this, but this time everything in the Chengqian Palace was peaceful. Rather than the emperor forcing her to send her fourth brother back, she was more afraid of being abandoned by her son first.
This time, the mental arithmetic fell back into the stomach. Others looked at it, and although it was a good thing, for some reason, it made Concubine De even more pitiful.
On the same morning, under the scorching sunshine, two carriages were walking slowly on the palace road. Noble Juechan followed Concubine Wen to Ningshou Palace to pay her respects, and was about to return to Xianfu Palace at this moment. Although she was pregnant, she could
The imperial concubine said that there was chaos in the palace at this time, and she should express her dignity so that people would know her existence, so even if the weather was hot, she would go out with a full belly.
However, halfway through the journey, there was a sudden noise behind Concubine Wen, and the carriage slowly stopped. She turned around and took a look, and saw that the carriage of Concubine Wen was crooked, as if a rod had broken. Fortunately, she was not thrown.
But never sit down again.
Mrs. Juechan was quickly helped down. She stepped forward and said to the imperial concubine: "It's too hot outside. Madam, please go back first. I will walk back slowly."
The imperial concubine nodded, but said: "It's too hot. Don't let the sun burn you. Just wait in the shade and let them deliver another shoulder carriage."
After saying this, Concubine Wen and her entourage continued to walk forward. Concubine Juechan saw the eunuchs playing with their shoulder carriages and seemed to want to practice some, so he and Xiang He went to a nearby shady place to wait. Not long after they sat down, they saw a group of guards coming over.
, she recognizes the leader, but they haven’t spoken to each other for many years. In the past, she was often with Rongruo, and Mrs. Juechan also called him "Brother Cao."
Cao Yin came over alone and said respectfully: "I have sent my subordinates to pick up another chariot. Your Excellency, wait a moment."
Juechan looked at Cao Yin. His eyes were a little strange, as if he was hinting at something. He glanced at Xianghe beside him. Juechan gradually understood, but she was conflicted about whether to listen to what Cao Yin said. At this moment, she
At that time, Cao Yin took the initiative and said, "I saw a fan left on the carriage. Why don't you go get it and fan the noble man to keep him away from the heat?"
Xiang He was simple and hurriedly agreed and ran over there. As soon as she left, Cao Yin hurriedly looked around, turned his back on the person on the other side of Jianyu, quickly stuffed a letter to Jue Chan, and said softly: "
Noble sir, please rest assured, I have also arranged the affairs of Jianyu. I just want to wait for you here so that there will be no complications. You will know after reading the letter when you return."
Jue Chan held the letter and was at a loss. Seeing that Xianghe was about to come back, she rolled it up and stuffed it into her sleeves hastily. Without waiting for her to ask, Cao Yin had already answered: "It's a letter from Rongruo. He was there the day before yesterday."
I have a hangover at home, so I asked you to help me when I wake up."
