Dai Qin nodded, "Yes, the person who takes this medicine, before the medicinal properties are exerted, have no pulse, no breathing, no body temperature, except that they are not decomposed, they are no different from corpses." ”

"But how can I get out of this medicine?" Hearing Dai Qin say this, I couldn't help but be a little curious and tempted.

Xu Huizu continued, "Let Dai Qin bring the medicine back to you, when you think about it, you can take it when you want, now that you are not favored, and you don't have a mother's family, the spirit will not stop for too long, Jiu Niang will definitely go to mourn when the time comes, she will arrange it, and when you are buried, we will find a way to get you out." Although this method is tortuous, it can also be regarded as a place of death and then life, when the time comes, Dai Qin will take you out of the capital, how you want to live, as you plan. ”

I looked at Xu Huizu's eyes, knowing that he had been with Dai Qin for a long time, and he knew Dai Qin's personality very well, and I probably guessed that Dai Qin was interested in me, and at this time, he also intended to fulfill Dai Qin and wanted to match us. I smiled bitterly, if I was interested in Dai Qin, I would have had countless opportunities to go with him a few years ago, and now even if I broke my heart in the palace and really wanted to leave, it was just to find a new place and slowly forget those pains, how could I go to live with anyone?

Dai Qin's heart was like a mirror, much clearer than Xu Huizu, he said, "Yuelong City already has a small climate in southern Xinjiang, if you go out of the palace and have nowhere to stay, you can go there, he will definitely be able to arrange a different life for you than before." ”

Xu Huizu glanced at Dai Qin, his eyes were full of puzzlement, as if he was asking why Dai Qin wanted to push me elsewhere. Dai Qin avoided his gaze and did not reply.

I stood in place, at a loss, Xu Huizu began to cough again, this time it became more and more powerful, spurting out a mouthful of blood, dyeing the entire back red, he couldn't hold it anymore, and fell down again in a groggy state.

Jiuniang was so anxious that she grabbed Xu Huizu's neck and cried, "Huizu! Huizu! What happened to you?! ”

Dai Qin took out a few silver needles and pierced them between Xu Huizu's neck, Xu Huizu was pierced with these few needles, and the whole person quieted down and fell into a deep sleep. Jiuniang was still crying, and the two little girls saw that it was not good, so they came in to help clean up the bedding and spittoon. Dai Qin winked at me and walked out with me.

I cautiously asked, "How long can he last?" ”

Dai Qin's face was solemn, "I'm afraid it's tonight." ”

I felt sad for a while, "It's not too early, it's time for me to go back, Jiuniang is a woman's family, I'm afraid that I will mess up my hands and feet at that time, and his future affairs will all depend on you." ”

Dai Qin suddenly laughed for some reason, and I was a little stunned when I saw him laughing inexplicably. After a long time, he said, "I know everything." Go back. What Uncle Xu told you about this is also what I meant. If you think about it, I've always been in Kyochung. As he spoke, he handed me a jade bottle. I thought about it for a while, and finally took it.

On the way back to the palace, I felt uneasy for a while, I don't know if it was because I was sad knowing that this was the last meeting with Xu Huizu, or because the bottle of pills in my sleeve might change my life.

Xu Huizu's funeral report was delivered to the palace early the next morning, and he swallowed his breath when he heard that it was last night. Xu Yunhua was not favored and was confined to the palace, although the harem is known, but it is quite conservative to the outside, not many people know, this time her own brother died, Zhu Di did not embarrass her, Tete released her and asked her to go to Xu Huizu to handle the funeral.

Xu Yunhua, who has been grounded for two years, has restrained a lot, and she also knows that Zhu Di doesn't like Xu Huizu, and the funeral is only solemn, not very grand. In order to avoid Xu Yunhua, I didn't even go to the funeral.

After Xu Huizu's funeral, Zhu Di lifted Xu Yunhua's long-term grounding, but Xu Yunhua lost his brother and was not in the mood to move around, still like me, and did not leave the palace.

After a month, I don't know if Xu Yunhua asked Zhu Di, or Zhu Di himself thought that he was too harsh to Xu Huizu, so in the name of "Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan", Xu Huizu's only son Xu Qin attacked the title of Duke of Cao Guo. This title was once passed down by Xu Da to Xu Huizu, because Xu Huizu helped Zhu Yunwen resist stubbornly, Zhu Di was angry with him, so he cut this title to him, and now it is also given to his son, which can be regarded as an explanation to Jiuniang's orphans and widows.

Bao'er looked at the sunlight outside the window on crutches, "Queen, it seems to be up again." ”

I didn't speak, the last side I saw with Xu Huizu touched me too much, no matter how bad Xu Yunhua was, she would eventually have an upright and kind brother, and her younger brother would not hesitate to take the risk of getting me out of the palace in order to atone for her sins. And after a long time, my hatred for Xu Yunhua is not as strong as before. Hate doesn't change anything.

However, a few days later, when Zhu'er went out to receive the monthly case, she brought back a very shocking news that Xu Yunhua was also seriously ill, this time, it was not pretended.

I'm a little surprised, she finally lifted the ban, and the descendants of the Xu family got the title as she wished, with her character, she should quickly seize this opportunity to turn over. How could she be so sick?

Maybe she always used illness as an excuse to refuse to see me, so that I was not very sensitive to the news that she was seriously ill this time, maybe a few days later, she would appear in front of everyone again, and regain the prestige of being in charge of the sixth house, and when the time comes, she will still rectify whoever she wants.

But this spring has not yet passed, summer has not come, and the news of Xu Yunhua's critical illness has actually spread from Kunning Palace. I was shocked in my heart, this kind of news, in the harem, will not be spread randomly, if it is really critically ill, then I am afraid that ** will not leave ten.

I calculated the time, and suddenly thought that Xu Yunhua did not die, and died about this year. I couldn't help but be puzzled for a while, I hadn't heard of her old diseases before, and I couldn't talk about hidden diseases, and the few imperial doctors she used were the best in the hospital. Nothing wrong with her. How can you be so good that you are critically ill?

I asked Zhu'er to go out to inquire about Xu Yunhua's illness, and when Zhu'er came back, it was also strange, "This is really strange, the queen mother is really sick, it's too strange, I went to inquire, and no one said that they knew the reason." He said that he fell ill suddenly, and he ...... Guess who's taking care of the queen now? ”

"Who?"

"Concubine Lu, who has been favored for three years, this Concubine Lu is not Concubine Lu, it is Lu Jieyu who still loved us in previous years. However, she has now been promoted to the position of concubine for two years. The more Zhu'er said, the more puzzled she became, "Everyone said that Concubine Lu is now favored, more than the concubine Niangniang, you were more than you back then, the luxurious palace, constantly rewarded, the adult emperor's luck, but not only is she not a little arrogant, she is still as obedient as before, and now she actually goes to the queen's palace to do those chores." You say...... Is there anything hidden in this? ”

I haven't heard the anecdote of Lu Yunyi's favor once or twice, and I was a little strange in my heart, but now that I heard the master's words, I couldn't help but wonder, "You say, the emperor stays in Weiyang Palace almost every day?" ”

"What's more? Now the only person who can enter and exit the Heart Cultivation Hall is Concubine Lu. As soon as Zhu'er finished speaking, she suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, because I was the one who had this privilege in the past.

Although I didn't say anything, I was still shocked in my heart. It seems that there is really nothing that cannot be replaced, and this is true of things, and even more so of people.

"Then since Concubine Lu is so favored and almost exclusively enjoys the emperor's rain and dew, why does she have no children when she is young?"

Zhu'er shook her head, "It's just this weird, others also say it behind their backs, saying that Concubine Lu's belly is not angry, and the emperor loves her so much, she always doesn't move." ”

"That's it, it's their business after all, don't ask. Let's live our lives. ”

Zhu'er stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.

Every night, I would take out the fake death pill bottle that Dai Qin had given me and rub it for a while, and several times I had already brought the pill to my mouth, but I always hesitated at the last moment.

Unknowingly, in July, Xu Yunhua's illness became more and more serious, and it was not good to see it, and the doctors also said that it was just these days. I put everything aside and paid attention to Xu Yunhua every day.

On the fourth of July, in the middle of the night, there was a great death knell in the palace. I woke up from my sleep, and when Bao Er Zhu'er heard the death knell, they all hugged me, and we all looked at each other.

In the end, I was the first to ask, "Is this ...... The Queen's Death Knell? ”

Bao'er nodded coldly, "Except for the queen, no concubine's death knell can ring twelve." ”

One of Bao'er's legs was destroyed in Xu Yunhua's hands, she was even deeper than my hatred for Xu Yunhua, but at this time, her face was the same as mine, and there was no happiness of revenge, and we were all a little stunned.

Xu Yunhua is really dead.

Maybe it was because of the prince's face, maybe it was because Zhu Di repented after his wife died, Xu Yunhua, who lived a life of a cold palace and a waste concubine in the last few years of his life, got enough scenery and dignity after his death. Zhu Di showed great grief, held a fast for her in Linggu and Tianxi Temple, accepted the sacrifices of the ministers, and ordered Guanglu Temple to prepare unprecedented memorial items for her. On October 14, Zhu Di was posthumously named Empress Renxiao. <
