The night was falling, and the hall was still as bright as day.

Gu Hai, who had returned from the palace, had obviously learned the bad news of the death of Princess Gu Yu of Qi, and hurried back to the Hou Mansion.

When he saw Mrs. Tai's eyes red, Gu Hai knew that Mrs. Tai also knew about it, and his heart couldn't help but be secretly sour.

There are four sisters and brothers, Gu Zhan has been dead for more than ten years. In just one year, Gu Song and Gu Yu passed away one after another. It was undoubtedly a painful blow to Mrs. Tai.

Especially Gu Yu, the eldest daughter of Mrs. Tai. I also grew up with a lot of pets back then. Mrs. Tai treats her three sons strictly, but she loves Gu Yu very much. Gu Hai still remembers how he envied his wayward eldest sister back then.

Mrs. Ether's mind was that she never wanted her daughter to marry into the royal family as a daughter-in-law. But Gu Yu, who couldn't help Qi Wang's love at first sight, had to nod helplessly.

Unexpectedly, the temporary soft-heartedness of the year caused endless troubles in the future. Just like Gu Zhan insisted on marrying the Shen family, who looked like a heavenly immortal and had a heart like a poisonous scorpion, he completely broke off the incense of his lineage......

"Mother," Gu Hai stepped forward and called in a low voice.

Mrs. Tai raised her head a little dazedly: "Third child, why did you come back so early?"

Under the bright candlelight, Mrs. Tai's forehead was full of deep wrinkles, her eyes were bloodshot, and her eyes were fluctuating and blank.

Mrs., who has always been calm and wise, how could she ever be so helpless and pitiful?

Gu Hai felt a sour feeling in his heart: "My son knew what happened in the palace, so he rushed back to accompany his mother." ”

After a pause, he whispered, "The son knows that his mother is uncomfortable. It's just that life and death are uncertain. Princess Qi took her own life to seek death, thinking that she did not want to live in the world. Maybe death is also a relief for her. Mother must not indulge in pain and hurt her body, it will only make her relatives bitter and her enemies happy!"

Mrs. Tai was silent for a long time before she said, "Third child, in fact, I am not sad. ”

"Ah Yu's death is a well-deserved death. If it weren't for the face of my old bones, she would have died six years ago. Now how many more years have I lived. I, as a mother-in-law, have never had a place where I can't live with her. So, I have no regrets in my heart. ”

It's just that the pain of being stripped of flesh and blood has not been alleviated by half a point.

Tears that had dried up in Mrs. Tai's eyes welled up again.

Gu Hai felt sorry in his heart, and then knelt down.

The man who was dozens of years old knelt in front of Mrs. Tai like a child, and said in a deep and firm voice: "The eldest brother and the second brother are gone, and the eldest sister is no longer alive. I'm the only one left to bear Huan's knees. Mother, rest assured, I will definitely honor my mother. Bring the hearts of the eldest brother, the second brother and the eldest sister with you. ”

Mrs. Tai, whose teary eyes were blurred, stretched out her hand tremblingly and rubbed it on Gu Hai's handsome face: "Third child, you are a good boy." Mother didn't hurt you in vain!"

Gu Hai's nose was sour, and tears welled up.

The mother and son cried silently.

……

Zongren's House.

As night fell, there was silence in the secluded courtyard.

Several grandmothers in their forties were anxious, and went to the house of Wang Min, the princess of King Qi, together: "Princess, Princess Qi has been gone for a whole day and has not come back yet. Could something happen to you in the palace?"

"Yes, the slave is not at ease this day, and her right eyelid is always jumping. ”

A few grandmothers opened their mouths in unison, and the room was in a commotion.

Wang Min, who was thin and pale, sat on the chair and was silent.

The strongest one among the several grandmothers couldn't help it, and blurted out: "Princess, why don't you say a word?

"What can I do if I'm in a hurry?" Wang Min opened his mouth and asked, "Can I still go into the palace and ask if it is possible?"

Several grandmothers were choked!

Wang Min raised her eyelids, glanced at the grandmother with different faces, and said lightly: "You all go back to the house!" If something really happens to the concubine, sooner or later there will be news. If it's okay, maybe I'll be back soon. ”

Several grandmothers retreated in a huff.

Wang Min, who had always looked indifferent, only showed a melancholy look in his eyes at this time.

Princess Qi was taken away early in the morning and did not return all day. I don't know what happened in the palace......

There was a sharp knock on the door.

Wang Min was inexplicably flustered, as if something bad news was coming.

She barely suppressed her turmoil, got up and opened the door.

A palace maid stood outside the door, and reported with a frightened expression: "Princess, the queen mother in the palace ordered someone to send a funeral letter." It is said that the princess has died by suicide......"

Wang Min had a rumbling sound in his mind, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day!

Princess Qi is dead!

He died like that!

Over the years, she resented this mother-in-law immensely. Countless times secretly cursed Princess Qi for her early death. This day really came, but she was extremely frightened and scared.

Wang Min's eyes went dark and he fainted.

……

"The princess!"

Urgent calls kept ringing in my ears.

Wang Min finally woke up leisurely, and what caught his eye was the only few palace maids and grandmothers left in the courtyard.

It's been a long time in this courtyard that has not seen the light of day, and everyone has lost their vitality. It's like a flower that has lost its moisture, withering and drying day by day, and its color is dull.

The faces of the grandmothers were like the bark of a tree, and the younger palace maids were like flowers about to decay. The complexion is dark.

As soon as Princess Qi died, everyone panicked, and they lost their backbone, so they naturally gathered around her.

"Princess, you're finally awake. A palace maid cried: "Niangniang is leaving, what should I do next?"

"Will the slaves also be put to death?"

"Yes, the mother used to live well. How did you enter the palace and die after a circle? It must be the queen mother who poisoned her! The princess had to be extra careful. ”

"What's the use of being careful! The queen mother is called, who dares not not go?"

"People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat!"

The palace maids cried one after another, and the older grandmothers were also sad and cried bitterly.

In the midst of crying, Wang Min could no longer control his emotions, and tears flowed for a long time.

Princess Qi died, and there was no one to accompany her in this courtyard. From this day on, she will be alone in this world......

The only thing that supports her to survive is Sister Yue.

Sister Yue is alive and sound in the palace, which is the greatest safety for her.

In the past three years, she has regretted and blamed herself countless times. felt guilty for his neglect of taking care of his daughter, causing the mother and daughter to be separated and their feelings were extremely cold.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.

Three years ago, Sister Yue left her side without looking back, and never looked back at her. And she can only taste the sadness and pain in the loneliness and misery day after day.
