Chapter 35: The Death of Ginkgo 2

Under the bright sun, under the silent gaze of more than ten little palace maids standing beside the bluestone path, Leng Qing followed Cheng Yiying and walked slowly onto the stone bridge built on the pond. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After standing on the stone bridge, Leng Qing leaned over to look at the water surface of the pond outside the stone bridge, and saw that the sparkling clear water not only reflected the stone bridge under their feet, but also reflected half of her and Cheng Yiying's shadows.

"Alas......" Just when Leng Qing leaned over and looked down at the water, he suddenly heard a long sigh from Cheng Yiying.

Leng Qing raised her eyes to look at Cheng Yiying, and when she heard Cheng Yiying sigh at her, she sighed and said, "If His Royal Highness can really take a fancy to Miss Leng, Zitan will be relieved." ”

Faced with Cheng Yiying's sighing feelings, Leng Qing raised her eyebrows and smiled in confusion and asked, "What?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only loves the Crown Princess alone, and the Crown Princess is still unwilling? ”

Actually, compared to this joke, Leng Qing wants to say: In an era when such a man can marry a wife and take concubines openly, three wives and four concubines, he can get such an infatuation with His Royal Highness the Prince, so let's not be hypocritical, princess! Isn't it good for us to "have a white head" with His Royal Highness the Prince?

On that side, Cheng Yiying slowly shifted his gaze, looked at the sparkling water under the stone bridge, and whispered as if he had thousands of feelings: "Being able to get a white head is something that many women in this world yearn for, and Zitan is naturally like this." It's just that Zitan is blessed, and has been married to His Royal Highness for more than ten years, but has never been able to have a son and a half daughter for His Royal Highness, so that His Royal Highness has a thin son so far. If you can get one more concubine and half a concubine to serve Your Highness, and extend your heirs for Your Highness, Zitan really can't ask for it. ”

"But isn't the crown princess pregnant now? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has only now passed and is now standing, and it is not too late to have a child at this time. Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only likes the Crown Princess, and the other Yingying Yanyan can't get into the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at all. Cheng Yiying's words fell, and Leng Qing took Cheng Yiying's words with a smile on her lips, with a sense of comfort.

After saying this, Leng Qing paused slightly, and when she spoke again, it was Leng Qing's serious voice: "Although I don't know how much His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cares about the Crown Princess, I know one thing, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really wants to marry a concubine and take a concubine, he will not wait until now that there is only the Crown Princess by his side." ”

Facing Leng Qing's serious words, Cheng Yiying sighed faintly, and said with great amazement: "Because of this, Zitan feels even more ashamed of His Royal Highness......

On this side, Leng Qing heard this, and was silent for a moment before answering with a serious expression: "Crown Princess, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that you had such thoughts in your heart, I don't think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be happy about this." "It's going to be sad, isn't it......

"Alas......" replied with a cold sunny sigh from Cheng Yiying.

This side, following the sight of Cheng Yiying, who had a sad face, Leng Qing turned her eyes to look at the sparkling water outside the stone bridge, and in a moment of silence, Leng Qing gradually fell into her own thoughts-

What is a girl who has been carefully cared for by her parents since she was born and grown? Isn't it just to choose a good person after adulthood and have a white head with him? But the reality is-

If this person chooses well, the future life path will naturally be to grow old with that person and spend his life together; But if you don't choose well, it's okay to live a life with a bad relationship, and it's even more unfortunate that you may have to endure domestic violence......

So why do some girls prefer to be single all the time rather than get married? Because after choosing one person, their future will become extremely uncertain, and this uncertainty is extremely terrifying......

Just like Leng Qing just said, Leng Qing really doesn't know how much Liang Shengde likes and cares about Cheng Yiying, but Leng Qing can feel that Liang Shengde likes Cheng Yiying very much and cares about Cheng Yiying, and likes that he can not marry a concubine or take a concubine for Cheng Yiying, and he cares that even if Cheng Yiying is infertile for more than ten years, Liang Shengde still does not abandon Cheng Yiying.

Although Leng Qing has never been married, Leng Qing still knows what a man is like.

Not to mention that in this kind of ancient times, when the continuation of children was most important, that is, in the open-minded 21st century, a woman was infertile for more than ten years after marriage, and I am afraid that few men could accept it. The kind of man who can tolerate and accept his wife's infertility, there are not many people in the world.

Therefore, from the fact that Cheng Yiying has not given birth to a child for Liang Shengde for more than ten years, and Liang Shengde not only did not depose Cheng Yiying's crown princess because of this, but also always treated Cheng Yiying gently, Leng Qing felt that Liang Shengde really loved Cheng Yiying to the core.

Leng Qing thought that it should be a very, very happy thing to be loved wholeheartedly by a gentle and kind man like Liang Shengde!

However, the fact that she has not been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter for Liang Shengde for more than ten years has made Cheng Yiying feel sorry for Liang Shengde, and it has begun to make Cheng Yiying unable to bear Liang Shengde's single-minded feelings......

"! Empress! Niangniang ......" Just as Leng Qingwu was pondering, a shout with shortness and wheezing suddenly came from far and near.

was called back to her senses by this stack of voices, Leng Qing followed the sound and looked over, and saw that Qing He, who had just been assigned by Cheng Yiying to send Liang Shenghao, was carrying her skirt and trotting briskly from the bluestone path opposite the stone bridge to her and Cheng Yiying.

"Why are you in such a hurry? What happened? This side, until Qing He ran in front of her, Cheng Yiying asked Qing He so softly, without blaming Qing He for running around the prince's mansion without knowing the rules.

And the answer to Cheng Yiying's question was Qing He's breathless voice: "Hui, back to Niangniang's words, the slave maid just sent Prince Hao out of the mansion, and on the way back, I heard the maids in the mansion say and say ......" At the end of the words, Qing He obviously became hesitant.

"Say what?" When Qinghe's voice was hesitant, Cheng Yiying asked her with a frown.

On that side, Qing He, whose breath was unsettled and still had some breath, glanced at Cheng Yiying with a rather sneering expression when he heard this, and replied hesitantly: "The maidservants said...... Ginkgo...... Hanged himself......"

"What ??!" Before Qing He's words came out, Cheng Yiying asked in shock. As soon as the voice turned, Cheng Yiying asked in an eager tone: "What about people?" How are people? Can it still be saved? ”

On that side, Qing He slowly shook his head at Cheng Yiying, who was eager, and bit his lip and replied: "Back to Niangniang, when the maidservants found out, Ginkgo had already lost her breath for a long time, and her body began to get cold......

On this side, after listening to Qinghe's answer, Cheng Yiying only felt that it was suddenly dark in front of him, and he couldn't see clearly no matter how dazzling the sun was.

After a whirlwind, Cheng Yiying's figure shook, and his steps staggered two steps, and he was about to fall off the stone bridge. Seeing this, Qing He, who was standing in front of Cheng Yiying, immediately stretched out his hand to support the crumbling Cheng Yiying, and called with a worried expression: "Niangniang, are you okay?!" ”

Half leaning on Qinghe, Cheng Yiying slowed down for a long time before his face turned white, and his voice replied weakly: "There is nothing to do in this palace......"

"Ginkgo? Is it the palace maid on Qin Mountain who pushed the princess into the water? On this side, when Cheng Yiying was half-leaning on Qinghe to ease his mind, Leng Qing frowned and wondered.

After Cheng Yiying's accident on Qinshan before, Qing He had heard that it was a girl surnamed Leng who saved Cheng Yiying, and later Leng Qing went to the Daliang Guoxing Palace for a banquet, and Qing He was serving by Cheng Yiying's side at that time, so Qing He also knew Leng Qing, and at this moment, when he heard Leng Qing ask like this, Qing He nodded honestly and responded obediently: "Yes." ”

Hearing Qing He's answer, Leng Qing's brows furrowed even deeper, and her voice almost brought a scolding question: "Didn't you lock people up after you came back?" "Why did you let people hang themselves?

Faced with Leng Qing's inexplicable questioning, Qing He was not annoyed, but replied calmly: "Follow Your Highness's orders, and as soon as you return to the house, you will send people to the firewood room in the servants' courtyard and lock them up." ”

"Then why did she hang herself?" Almost at the moment when Qing He finished speaking, Leng Qing asked like this.

Facing Leng Qing's questioning, Qing He didn't know whether he was dissatisfied or uncomfortable with Ginkgo's death, in short, Qing He was silent for a few seconds before answering truthfully: "It's her own belt...... Ginkgo moved all the firewood and grass in the firewood room under the beams, and hung the belt on the beams with the firewood and grass that had been piled up......"

At the end of the words, Qing He's voice was slightly choked, thinking that he was uncomfortable for Ginkgo's death......

And Qing He didn't finish his words in the end, but at this point, everyone present had actually sketched out the scene and what happened when Ginkgo was hanged by themselves in their minds.

This side, silently listened to Qinghe's words, but Leng Qing frowned, and stated in a gentle voice: "From the time we returned to the house to the present, it has only been half an hour in total, which means that she hanged herself as soon as she was locked up in the firewood ......room?"

The answer to Leng Qing was Qinghe's affirmative voice: "It should be." If it weren't for the maidservant girl who went in to deliver water, I was afraid that I would find out that the ginkgo had ...... when it was time for dinner."

This side, after listening to Qinghe's answer, Leng Qing only felt a little confused: from Qinshan to Xuanping, she walked for so many days and walked so far before she got home and hanged herself, at this speed, can she say that she is really fast and ruthless enough?

But at the same time, Leng Qing couldn't figure it out: since Ginkgo pushed Cheng Yiying into the water, although Cheng Yiying no longer let Ginkgo wait, he didn't imprison Ginkgo and didn't punish Ginkgo, which can be said to have given Ginkgo enough free space. Even when he returned to Creping, Cheng Yiying took the initiative to bring back the ginkgo biloba.

In particular, on the way from Qinshan to Xuanping, Cheng Yiying did not care about letting people take care of Ginkgo, and even Leng Qing saw Ginkgo silently following Cheng Yiying's chariot on foot a few times......

Obviously, along the way, Ginkgo has so many opportunities to seek death or even escape...... I won't talk about it at other times, but during the three days that Liang Shengde and Cheng Yiying stayed in Liaoyuan City, Ginkgo was not deliberately taken care of, and Ginkgo, like other palace maids and eunuchs, was completely free to walk.

In three days, if Ginkgo wants to run or commit suicide, she can run away 180 times, and commit suicide 1,800 times! But Ginkgo didn't do that, and she didn't have a seizure all the way, let alone show anything unusual.

However, as soon as she returned to the Prince's Mansion this afternoon, Ginkgo hanged herself decisively and cleanly......

Leng Qing said that she couldn't understand Ginkgo - could it be that Ginkgo has been honest for so long, just to die in the Prince's Mansion today?!

"Qinghe, help the palace to take a look......" While Leng Qingwu was pondering, Cheng Yiying, who was half-leaning on Qinghe, suddenly commanded in a weak whisper.

"Yes, sissy." Regarding Cheng Yiying's instructions, Qinghe did not refuse at all, and agreed neatly.

The two of them said this, Qinghe helped Cheng Yiying to turn around, and the two walked towards the stone bridge.

On this side, seeing that Qinghe had already helped Cheng Yiying to walk off the stone bridge, Leng Qing immediately shouted: "Wait a minute!" ”

On that side, hearing Leng Qing's call, as soon as Cheng Yiying's steps stopped, Qinghe could only stop. Then, I saw Cheng Yiying looking back at Leng Qing and didn't speak, but the meaning of inquiry in his eyes was very obvious.

On this side, Leng Qing walked towards Cheng Yiying unhurriedly, and said very rationally as she walked: "Crown Princess, you are pregnant now, what you need most is to be calm, and the place where you stay should be clear and clean." And the firewood room is a dirty place, and now there is just someone dead over there, it's too unlucky, don't go to the princess, I'll go for the princess. ”

On that side, after listening to Leng Qing's words quietly, Cheng Yiying was silent for a while, then nodded at Leng Qing, and replied weakly: "It's okay......"

With Cheng Yiying's approval, Leng Qing immediately turned her eyes to look at the more than ten little palace maids who had been standing beside the bluestone path, and explained to them: "The crown princess was a little unstable just now, you send the princess back to rest." After a pause, Leng Qing added with a serious face: "Remember to ask the doctor to diagnose the pulse of the crown princess." ”

Leng Qing remembered that the age of the elderly mother was thirty-four years old, according to what Yan Ziming told her before, Cheng Yiying is thirty years old this year, and she is not a few years away from the advanced maternal age, but Cheng Yiying is now pregnant with her first child, and seeing that Cheng Yiying is so thin, Leng Qing thinks it is better to be careful.

After explaining the little palace maids waiting beside the bluestone path, Leng Qing turned her eyes to look at Qing He who was supporting Cheng Yiying, and said to Qing He: "Qing He, please take me on a trip." ”

Although Qing He knew that Cheng Yiying valued Leng Qing very much, Leng Qing was an outsider after all, not Qing He's master, so Qing He naturally didn't dare to agree to Leng Qing directly, so he looked at Cheng Yiying who was supported by her inquiringly.

On this side, Cheng Yiying saw this, nodded at Qinghe, and ordered weakly: "You go with Miss Leng." ”

"Yes, sissy." After getting Cheng Yiying's instructions, Qinghe no longer hesitated, and simply received the order.
