Chapter 3 The Mother Dies, and the Child Survives

Aunt Pei knelt there, crying silently, Concubine Li turned her head and touched Xiao Ping's skin softly with her fingertips, reining in the sharpness she had just shown, and she became the mother of a child again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Aunt Pei, don't cry, my death is inevitable, otherwise, with you and me, duckweed-like existence in the palace, how can we keep the five princes growing up safely? The concubine has the ability to keep the five princes, so I'd rather die than watch my son be killed and be powerless. Concubine Li glanced at Aunt Pei and comforted her.

Aunt Pei put away her tears, stood up, and regardless of the fat powder on her face and her red eyes, she asked softly, "Is there no other way?" Let's go and tell Your Majesty, Niangniang, Your Majesty will definitely make decisions for you. ”

"Your Majesty? Laugh at. Concubine Li sneered, "You think Your Majesty doesn't know what the concubine is doing." ”

She pointed to the bowl of medicine again and sneered: "The poisoning is so blatant, we have all guessed it, if Your Majesty didn't know, he would have been poisoned thousands of times."

She sighed faintly, "He knows, and knows better than all of us, just watching." ”

"Miss, my poor miss." Aunt Pei threw herself in front of the bed on the spot and cried.

"I have experienced all hardships and hardships, and I have enjoyed great wealth and wealth, and I am fulfilled when I die." She laughed at herself, and said with a twisted face full of unwillingness: "It's just that I haven't avenged the revenge of my parents' family, and I have no face to see my parents and family when I die."

She was looking at Aunt Pei, took her hand by the hand, gently placed it on Xiao Ping's body, and solemnly entrusted it to her, "Aunt Pei, after I die, you must stay with the fifth prince, take care of him, protect him, and when he grows up, tell him, take revenge, avenge my Shangguan family, can you promise me?" ”

Aunt Pei covered her mouth with her other hand, tears flowed down her cheeks, and she could only nod desperately, crying silently.

"Hehe, what's there to be sad about? The day my parents died, I should have died, it was Aunt Pei who saved me, and then I had the now noble Concubine Li. Concubine Li looked around at the magnificence, lowered her head and touched Xiao Ping's face, "There are also the five princes, he was given to me by God." ”

Aunt Pei gradually stopped crying, and looked up at the weak Concubine Li, "Niangniang, why does Guifei Niangniang have to kill you?" Isn't she afraid that the five princes will know the truth and resent her in the future? ”

Concubine Li may be tired, she gently leaned her head on the bed, patted Xiao Ping lightly with one hand, and explained: "The concubine really wants a child of her own, not just an adoptive mother, I think after I die, the concubine will order to seal it, and my traces will be completely erased." The people in the palace didn't want to offend the concubine for no reason, and in the end, the fifth prince didn't know the truth, so he naturally became her son and treated her as his own mother. So," she looked at Aunt Pei, "Aunt Pei, you are the one who uncovers the truth, but the concubine will definitely not tolerate you living, but you must live, and you must live by the side of the fifth prince, waiting for the opportunity, telling him the truth, do you understand?" ”

"The slave and maid understand, and the slave and maid will definitely tell the five princes."

Concubine Li nodded, waved her hand, and let Aunt Pei leave, leaving only the two of them alone to spend with her.

She sang a nursery rhyme softly, "Ahhh ”

Xiao Ping just watched with wide eyes, pricked up his ears and listened a lot, the baby's body couldn't support it, and when he was tired, he closed his eyes and rested for a while.

Seeing him sleeping peacefully, Concubine Li smiled, as gorgeous as a peach blossom in March, "Son, my mother is leaving, although you don't recognize me, but my mother will give up her life for you, when you grow up, don't let down your mother, you must find out the enemy who killed the Shangguan family, and let them also taste the taste of extermination, hehe......"

She struggled to pick up the medicine bowl again, and poured it down with a "snort".

The next day, the third day of washing arrived, the high-ranking concubines and the two older princesses, and the two half-grown princes arrived first, and the hall was full, each sitting in their own position, the women were all beautiful and distinctive, and the four children were also lovely.

"Your Majesty has arrived, the queen has arrived, and the concubine has arrived."

In a high-pitched announcement from a thin eunuch, a man and two women walked in, the male was in the middle, about thirty, with a long figure and a very majestic body; A woman is on the left, wearing a phoenix crown, with kind eyebrows and eyes, this is the queen; A daughter is on the right, she is one step behind the emperor and the empress, and walks with a smile, her appearance is beautiful, not inferior to Concubine Li, this is a concubine. As soon as the three of them came, those who had already sat down stood up and saluted.

"I've seen Your Majesty, the Queen, and the Concubine."

"Meet my father, the queen mother, and the noble concubine."

The voices came and went, and even the concubines in the dormitory heard them.

"It's going to start, Aunt Pei, take the five princes away." Concubine Li looked at Xiao Ping's side face nostalgically, she slapped Xiao Ping reluctantly, she really hoped that her son would always be by her side, because she knew that her time was running out, and she would take a look less.

"Yes, let's rest for a while."

Aunt Pei stepped forward to straighten the quilt for Concubine Li, and then picked up Xiao Ping.

"I'm dying, and you won't let me see my son more?" Concubine Li said with a smile.

Aunt Pei's eyes immediately turned red, and she silently trotted away with Xiao Ping in her arms.

This is the first time Xiao Ping has seen Emperor Qingping, this man is only in his thirties, wearing a royal robe, wise and martial, Xiao Ping at this time has no resentment towards Emperor Qingping, after all, he and Concubine Li only get along for a few days, he is a middle-aged man in his forties, where there is any deep feelings, so although he knows that Emperor Qingping will not save Concubine Li, he does not have too strong hatred, just sighs, sighs that Emperor Qingping is worthy of being a qualified emperor, and sighs that Concubine Li's experience is pitiful.

Before he could finish sighing, the procedure of washing the third began, and he was stripped naked in shame, exposed to everyone, and washed and beaten by his mother-in-law and grandmother.

In the end, Emperor Qingping hugged him and said, "Give Mingping."

Instantly, everyone's expressions were different, the emperor's year name was Qingping, and he was given the name Ping, it was hard not to think about it.

The queen naturally smiled dignifiedly, but the concubine sank her face, this name is a curse or a blessing.

At this time, Xiao Ping, who has been wrapped up again, is also a sigh in his heart, he has a new understanding of Emperor Qingping's ruthlessness again, he is not only ruthless to Concubine Li, but also ruthless to his own son, this name coincides with the year name, it seems to be a favor, but it is to use him as a shield, and he has become the target of the princes, and he will be more careful in the palace in the future.

"Niangniang, Niangniang, the five princes have been given names by the emperor, and they have been given names." Aunt Pei happily ran into the dormitory and said to Concubine Li: "Niangniang, I can be named by the emperor on the day of the third day, and it coincides with His Majesty's year name, this is the supreme glory, Niangniang, the five princes can be favored by Your Majesty, and Your Majesty even hugged the five princes himself."

The more Concubine Li listened, the cooler her heart became, and the more she listened, the more her face became more and more gray, and finally she laughed wildly, "Hahahaha, Emperor Mosheng's family, Emperor Mosheng's family, my son only blames you for being born in the wrong baby in this life, woo woo woo woo ......"

"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you? Your Majesty loves the five princes so much, Niangniang should be happy, maybe Niangniang also has a glimmer of life? Aunt Pei hugged Concubine Li and said urgently.

"Happy, haha, happy?" Concubine Li laughed embarrassedly, "Should we be happy that our mother and son are going to die?" Hahaha......"

"Mother, be cautious." Aunt Pei hurriedly covered Concubine Li's mouth, looked around vigilantly, and saw that there was no one around, so she let go.

Concubine Li's heart was dead at this time, she never thought that it would be his biological father who wanted her son to die, and she also underestimated the ruthlessness of an emperor, she muttered to herself: "Is it because my son is about to become the son of the concubine, you can't stop it, so you want to strangle him with great grace?" Just because of your incompetence, you can't do anything about Prime Minister Murong and the Murong family, so you can take my son out of anger? No, I'm not going to let you get your way. ”

Concubine Li's eyes gradually became firmer, and she instructed Aunt Pei, "Go and get that spice, and then invite the concubine, and say that I have something to ask for."

"Niangniang, that spice is infertile, isn't it ......" Aunt Pei looked at Concubine Li hesitantly.

"Yes, since the concubine wants my son, then she doesn't need to give birth, I want her to have only one child forever, so that she will do her best to protect the five princes." The more she said it, the brighter Concubine Li's eyes became, "This is the price she should pay for snatching away the fifth prince." ”

Aunt Pei thought in her heart, and also acquiesced to this plan, went down silently, took the spices and threw them into the incense burner, invited the concubine who had not left yet, and also brought Xiao Ping, who had finished washing three times, and then retreated.

What Concubine Li and Concubine Guifei said in the dormitory, no one knew, only Xiao Ping, who was a baby, heard everything and silently buried what they said in his heart.

Three days later, Concubine Li died of illness and was buried in the imperial mausoleum according to the concubine ceremony, and the five princes passed to the concubine, and the concubine was the mother of the five princes. Xiao Ping was also taken to the concubine's Zhaoyang Palace to be raised, and surprisingly, Aunt Pei miraculously survived, and she also went to Zhaoyang Palace with Mama Lan and Ping'er to serve, but I don't know what the reason was, so that the concubine tolerated her, Concubine Li's henchman.
