In the first two months after losing her daughter, Cai Wei literally lived in hell every day.

She could not accept the sad fact that her daughter had left her. She looked at the little cradle that her daughter had slept in, the little puppet she had played, and the little clothes she had made for her, and always felt that the next moment, a few familiar cries would come from somewhere in the house, and her fragrant and soft baby babbled and opened her little hands to hug her......

But this qiē only appears in dreams, and even in dreams, when she reaches out and is about to hold her baby, her baby will suddenly disappear, sometimes turning into a puff of smoke, sometimes being taken away by a demon, and she will cry out again and again, for the treasure she has lost forever.

Those rumors are true, because of the death of her beloved daughter, Empress Zhou, who was the only favorite of Emperor Yuan Jia, washed her face with tears every day and couldn't sleep at night, gradually mourning and losing her bones, and her sick body was heavy.

Qin Fei couldn't see that she was sad at the little princess's relics every day, and secretly wept, wanting to order someone to put away all the little princess's relics, but was stopped by Cai Wei again and again. He tried all his means to accompany her to mourn the death of his beloved daughter, read her favorite books, take her to Lijiang to relax, and find all kinds of things she likes to give her every day......

But all of this is useless, Cai Wei is still immersed in the pain of losing her daughter and can't extricate herself. So Qin Fei gritted his teeth, and despite Cai Wei's objection, he locked all the relics of the little princess in a box.

So an unprecedented quarrel broke out between the emperors and queens.

"Why are you putting away the beads' things? I can't see her anymore, even if it's good to look at her things, don't you even let me see her things? Cai Wei shouted at Qin Fei angrily.

Qin Fei no longer persuaded her as well as before, and said angrily: "If you don't put these things away, your eyes will be blind from crying!" I don't have a daughter, I can't live without you anymore! ”

"Do you think that if I can't see these things, I won't cry for my daughter anymore? Zhu'er was born after I was pregnant for nine months, and you don't know how important she is to me? She's not the meat that fell off your body, she hasn't been in your belly for nine months, and you haven't experienced the feeling of mother-child connection and integration with the baby in your belly, so you can get out of the pain of losing a daughter so quickly, but I can't do it! I can't do it, I really can't do it......"

Cai Wei said that tears welled up again, and she didn't ease her breath and coughed violently.

Qin Fei hurriedly half-hugged her in his arms and patted her on the back for her. Waiting for her cough to subside, she wiped the tears on her cheeks and said, "Although Zhu'er is not the flesh that fell from my body, she is my first child, even if we have another child in the future, it will not be as important as her in my heart." But not only did I, a father, do not do anything for her, but I haven't been able to protect her, so am I feeling good in my heart? Maybe the pain in my heart is not as good as half of your motherhood, but Awei, we are husband and wife, seeing you feel heartache like this, I will only accompany you to pain, you can't get out of the pain of losing your daughter for a day, and I can't get out. ”

"Awei, life is in the world, and it is not as good as you want! When relatives leave and friends turn against each other, it will never be smooth sailing, and they have never experienced a little sadness and pain. But as long as I accompany you and you accompany me, the two of us will always be together, no matter what happens, I will always be with you, no matter how much pain and sadness you have, you can always get through it. As long as we live well, Zhu'er will live well in our hearts, forever and forever! ”

Cai Wei buried her head in his arms and began to cry loudly. Qin Fei didn't persuade either, let out her grief, venting all the pain in her heart, but also wiped away a few tears from the corners of his eyes from time to time.

After a long time, Cai Wei stopped crying and choked up: "I know that you are for my good, I am afraid that if I continue like this, my body will not be able to bear it, and I myself know that it will not work like this, but I ...... it."

Qin Fei lifted her up, looked directly into her eyes and said, "Ah Wei, if your body collapses, who will help me find out the murderer who killed our daughter?" ”

"Murderer, do you mean......" Cai Wei was originally a very smart person, only because of the loss of her beloved daughter, she didn't think so much for a while, after all, since her daughter was born, both she and Qin Fei were carefully selected to take care of the little princess's maids, and they were careful in their diet and daily life. Moreover, from ancient times to the present, the infant mortality rate has been extremely high, and the royal family is no exception, not to mention children who are less than one year old, even if they grow up to five or six years old, they will die of illness.

Moreover, her pearl was thin and small after birth, and the imperial doctor also said that it was the little princess who came out a few days earlier, and she was afraid that she was a little weak congenitally, and she faintly felt that it was the fake death medicine she had taken before that hurt the child, and it was also because of this self-blame that she was so painful and unable to extricate herself after losing her daughter.

Qin Fei was also only concerned about the difficult time at the beginning, and then he put all his heart on Cai Wei, worried about her illness, and didn't think about it, he thought that he was very protective of his daughter, and there should be no more loopholes to drill, and he also asked all the palace people who took care of the little princess later, and he really didn't find anything unusual. It was only later that he heard that Cui Zuoxiang's illness was getting better day by day, and he faintly felt that something was not quite right.

When the old thief was seriously ill, his family of three was happy, thinking that he would not live long, and he was kind enough to let his son come back to see him for the last time. As a result, just after the New Year, his baby daughter was gone, and his wife was seriously ill. And is this cause and effect providential or man-made?

"When the doctor came over that day, Zhu'er had no pulse, and couldn't diagnose anything, at that time we all thought it was a sudden pediatric emergency, and then I asked the doctor, but what poisonous things will appear after taking Zhu'er's symptoms that day, but the doctor made a long list, and there were even some common ingredients."

"You're saying Zhu'er was secretly poisoned? But ......" Cai Wei wanted to say that Zhu'er and the palace people around her had already interrogated, and it was not up to them to do it, and who else could get close to Zhu'er, but after saying two words, she thought of a few other people.

In addition to the palace people in Kunning Palace, there are several people who often accompany her who can also approach the little princess, one is Wu Wan, and the other four are Yizhi's mother and son, and the maid and nurse brought by her mother and son.

And of the five, the latter four are more likely. Cai Wei thought back to Yizhi's expression of comfort these days, and shook her head in her heart, even if her daughter was really killed by the four of them from the Cui family, her sister Zhi should not know, but she was afraid that she was secretly used as a gunman.

"Ah Wei," Qin Fei gathered a wisp of her sideburns behind her ears, "If our daughter's death is really related to the Cui family, then if you continue to be so sick and never ...... again, then I'm afraid it's just in their arms!" ”

Cai Wei's heart froze, and she instantly understood what Qin Fei meant.

"These days, I don't have much of the heart to pay attention to the affairs of the previous dynasty, but Cui Xiang's old thief is obviously taking leave to recuperate, but in fact, he is restless behind his back, and his taxes are very unsmooth." Qin Fei saw that she finally pulled her mind out of her daughter, and hurriedly added a few more words.

Cai Wei remembered that Qin Fei had told her before that if she wanted to straighten out the previous mess of government politics, Cui Xiang would definitely have to step down. But this old fox has been in charge of the court for more than 20 years, and he is Yan Qin's number one minister, with power in his hands, and he is cunning and shrewd, and he is not slippery. But even if they had this suspicion now, what evidence could they have?

Cai Wei thought about it for a while, and gradually had an idea in her heart, an idea to lure the snake out of the hole, maybe Cui Xiang would be killed, and take the opportunity to wipe out Cui Dang.

"Ah Fei, you say, how about finding someone to rush to Chong Chong Xi for me?" She said softly.
