Su Yue's body staggered, and Su Yichen's face turned pale, although Xiao Changzi did not name him, but almost at the same moment, they confirmed their conjecture, Qiu Jing really had an accident!

Seeing that their expressions were so wrong, and thinking that she hadn't seen Qiu Jing all morning, Ru Concubine couldn't help but get nervous, and asked, "Who died?" Call him in. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Su Yue glanced at Su Yichen, Su Yichen nodded, she walked outside the hall, and after a while, she brought the frightened Xiao Changzi in. Xiao Changzi knelt on the ground, still trembling all over, and when he saw Ru Concubine, he forgot to even kneel down to say hello, obviously Qiu Jing's death frightened him a lot.

Ru Concubine leaned forward and asked him, "This palace asks you, who died?" ”

Xiao Changzi replied incoherently: "It's dead, Qiu Jing is dead." ”

Hearing him say that Qiu Jing was dead, Ru Concubine was not as sad as Su Yichen and Su Yue imagined, she just stood up and asked softly, "How did she die?" ”

Xiao Changzi replied: "Drowned, drowned? ”

Ru Concubine said: "Where?" Take me to see her. ”

Her steps were a little vain, obviously her heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface, Su Yue instructed Xiaofuzi to prepare, such as the concubine said lightly, she took the lead and walked out of the door, Su Yichen hurriedly went back to the dormitory and fetched her a heavy cloak, chased after her and wrapped her.

The air was cold, and the north wind blew uncontrollably, blowing on the face to make people exceptionally sober. Although the snow stopped, the thick layer accumulated on the ground did not melt away immediately, in order to facilitate the passage of the masters, a little eunuch quickly swept out the palace road as soon as it was dawn. The road was very slippery, and after only a short walk, the shoes and socks were wet, cold and cold sticking to the feet, freezing to the bone.

As if the concubine didn't feel at all, every step was fast and steady, and Xiao Changzi led her all the way to the direction of the Imperial Garden. When I arrived at Jinse Pond, there was already a group of people around the edge of the pool, including palace maids and eunuchs, and several palace concubines, all of whom were looking at the water and pointing and discussing. If the concubine looked at no one, she directly squeezed away the person and stood in. I saw that a thick layer of ice had formed on the water surface of Jinse Pond, and Qiu Jing was lying quietly not far from the shore, with his face facing up, and he had merged with the entire ice surface. There were two little eunuchs next to him, one with a long hammer in his hand to break the ice, and the other with a long hook trying to hook the corpse and pull it back to the ground.

Qiu Jing's body was quickly pulled back and carried to the ground, and the people of Dexi Palace surrounded her, and Ru Concubine stretched out her hand and trembled and touched her face. Her corpse had already frozen, her expression was frozen at the moment before she died, her eyes and mouth were wide open, and the corners of her mouth were still covered with dried blood, which looked a little terrifying.

"Jing'er......" Ru Concubine called softly.

The people around her saw her talking to a corpse, and they all thought that she had lost her mind, so it was no wonder, first her family died, then she lost her child, and now even her personal palace maid is dead, Rao is no matter how strong a person is, he can't hold it even if he is afraid.

"Ru Concubine, this is a person in your palace, how was he found drowning in the lake of this imperial garden early in the morning?" It was Concubine Yao who spoke, Concubine Rong was promoted to concubine yesterday, as an old man in the palace, she had a meritorious role in raising the three princes, and she also raised her position.

Ru Concubine was still looking at Qiu Jing's corpse a little stupidly, Su Yichen was afraid that she would be overstimulated, so she took out a handkerchief and covered Qiu Jing's face.

These two obviously had no intention of replying, Concubine Yao couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, Su Yue was afraid that they would offend people, so she could only answer for her master: "Return to Concubine Yao's mother......"

Immediately, someone shouted: "Bold, what's going on in Dexi Palace?" It's just a loss of favor, as for the upper and lower heads, are you delirious? Even the grade is wrong, this is already Concubine Yao. ”

Su Yue hurriedly knelt down: "Congratulations to Concubine Yao on her promotion!" Please Concubine Yao to calm her anger, it is the slave and the maid who are confused, and you have made a mistake in your rank, it has nothing to do with my master, if Concubine Yao wants to blame, please punish the slave and maid. ”

Although her palace maid Guan Tong reprimanded Su Yue, Concubine Yao herself obviously did not mean to blame, but said self-deprecatingly: "Get up, you are not to blame for this, originally this promotion to the palace was not the protagonist." ”

Although this is a bit negative, but it also shows the fact that yesterday the concubine, everyone praised Concubine Rong's scenery, and there was an endless stream of people in Yuxiao Palace who went to send congratulatory gifts, and the songs and dances of celebration resounded throughout the day, and the emperor personally went to Yuxiao Palace to celebrate Concubine Rong in the evening, but she, Concubine Yao, who was named together, was as cold as ever. Originally, she didn't expect to be promoted, although she gave birth to the third prince Yuwenyi for the emperor, but Yi'er was born with a disability, and she has not been liked by the emperor, and even her mother has gradually been unpopular, if it weren't for the care of Concubine Menghua in the past few years, I am afraid that their mother and son would have been forgotten. When she thought like this, she felt a little sympathetic to Ru Concubine, although Yi'er was disabled, it was her hope to survive in this palace, and Ru Concubine was even dashed with this last bit of hope.

Su Yue thanked her and got up: "Back to Concubine Yao, the person who drowned is Qiu Jing, the palace maid of Dexi Palace, last night my mother had a high fever and did not go away, Qiu Jing was ordered to go to the hospital to ask for a doctor, I didn't want to go back all night, early this morning, the slave called Xiao Changzi to come to look for her, and then I learned the news of her drowning." ”

Concubine Yao said: "Although he is an important person in Dexi Palace, but the person is dead, and the death is so ominous, according to the rules, it must be immediately dragged to incineration, you persuade your master to let her go back." ”

"No, you can't." Su Yichen stood up to stop Concubine Yao and the two little eunuchs who were about to carry Qiu Jing's body: "Qiu Jing's death is not normal, she is a maid who has served my sister since she was a child, and she can't be allowed to die like this!" ”

"Miss Chen'er." The queen's chief eunuch Cao Heyi was also ordered to come to the scene, and when she heard her stop, he said and advised: "Whether the palace maid Qiu Jing died normally, our family will give you an explanation later, but it is definitely inappropriate for the corpse to be parked here, not to mention that the masters come and go to look at the bad luck, and since she is a close person like a concubine, then she should not be exposed to the suffering of the corpse in this ice and snow, or park it in the court of the dead first." ”

Su Yichen still wanted to say something, but the concubine had already waved her hand to let the little eunuch carry the corpse: "There is Lao Cao's father-in-law." Su Yue, go to get Jing'er's usual clothes and utensils, and send them to the living court. Chen'er, accompany me back to the palace. ”

Ru Concubine's reaction is very different from her previous personality, but the pain brought to her by Qiu Jing's death must be undoubted, her unusually calm made Su Yichen even more worried, and directly swallowed all the words in her stomach, stepped forward to support Ru Concubine and hurriedly returned to Dexi Palace.
