Chapter 240: Death

At this time, the two figures who walked out from behind the flower hall walked farther and farther.

King Jing followed behind a little nervously, he didn't want Jiang Xuan to leave any bad impression on the emperor.

"Look......" King Jing couldn't help but open his mouth.

The middle-aged man who walked in front didn't say anything immediately, and walked out a few steps before he chuckled: "Sure enough, it's just a teenager!" ”

King Jing secretly pondered the meaning of these words, and at the same time carefully observed his expression, seeing that the smile on his face was gentle and kind, which was unique to elders, and his heart that had been hanging before was slightly relaxed......

In the flower hall, the broken porcelain pieces on the ground have been cleaned up, and the maids have all retreated.

"I was going to try to let you know in advance, but I never found the opportunity." Tang Yue explained softly, "The people sent to the Hou Mansion to invite people, including the maid who brought you in just now, are all people from the palace......

"I understand." Lu Qingrong was relieved, and his voice stabilized, "Actually, it's okay, it's much better than passing words through someone in the middle." And if the emperor really didn't trust the prince at all, he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to listen to us in person! ”

"It's hard for you to think like that!" Tang Yue first sighed, and then began to consol, "The prince will not sit idly by, and will definitely speak in front of the emperor for the prince." ”

"Hmm." Lu Qingrong bowed slightly, only then did he care about Tang Yue, "These days...... You okay? ”

King Jing's two side concubines have now entered the mansion, and Lu Qingrong knows it.

Tang Yue sighed and said softly: "Before the wedding, I had this preparation in my heart, I expected such a day, but I didn't expect it to come so early." ”

Lu Qingrong wanted to persuade two sentences, but it was because Fang Cai's shock was undecided, and he couldn't think of how to phrase it for a while.

Tang Yue had already opened his mouth: "If you want to come to this kind of thing, I don't know how many women in the world will encounter it." Especially among the royal family and nobles, or the official family, few people can be spared. Fortunately, the prince is not addicted to this, and I am very content. ”

Seeing her attitude, Lu Qingrong was somewhat relieved, and didn't say anything to persuade her.

But she couldn't agree with the meaning of Tang Yue's words.

Is there really no one who is immune?

Thinking of her mother, although she experienced twists and turns in her early years, she has been the only one in her father's backyard for more than ten years.

Although the Lu family is far from being comparable to the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion, she still hopes that she can also have the luck of her mother, not to mention, she has gradually become full of confidence in Jiang Xuan.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingrong couldn't help but start worrying about Jiang Xuan's safety again, and his face was full of sadness.

Tang Yue naturally also noticed her absent-mindedness and did not force it.

The two sat in the flower hall for less than an hour, and Lu Qingrong got up to say goodbye.

Sitting in the carriage going back, she had the time to think about what happened just now from beginning to end, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong for the time being, but she suddenly remembered something, and she planned to go back and ask Sun Yiming to come over to the house to ask.

However, when Lu Qingrong returned to the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, he knew that something had happened.

The house was gloomy, and everyone walking in the house bowed their heads and was silent.

There are a few Junzi orchids at the door of the house, which were still there when she just went out, but they are nowhere to be seen at this moment.

The red drapery on the green silk cart was also replaced with a dark green color.

Just when Lu Qingrong was wondering in his heart, Qiu Lan, who had been waiting at the door, stepped forward: "Madam! Kaede Courtyard ...... The eldest young master is gone! ”

Lu Qingrong was stunned at first.

I remembered that before I was hurriedly invited by someone from King Jing's Mansion just now, the two imperial doctors in the Feng Courtyard were treating Brother Xiang'er, and one of them was a doctor from the Tai Hospital.

Even let this child go.

"When did this happen? Neither of the two imperial doctors could save it? Lu Qingrong thought of the extraordinarily thin baby, and his heart was inevitably heavy.

"It's just that not long after you left, the eldest young master's breath became weaker and weaker, and the two imperial doctors finally took the risk of using medicine, but they were still unable to return to the sky." Qiulan replied.

When Lu Qingrong heard this, he rushed to Fengyuan with green bamboo.

This time, instead of going to the inner room, I went to the hall.

Mrs. Wu and Qiu Jinting were sitting there wiping away tears, and Tang Shan on the side was also worried.

Only Jiang Ke, although his face is not very good-looking, is much more rational than the others, and at this moment he is methodically instructing his subordinates how to prepare for the future.

Coffins, shrouds, etc., are all complete sets.

It's rare that he didn't panic, Lu Qingrong didn't expect that Jiang Ke, who was not a few years older than him, would be so organized.

Since it is now he who is presiding over the feed, Lu Qingrong hurriedly said that all the expenses will be paid by the public middle school, so that the people who are preparing for the future can go to the Yuyuan to get the right cards at any time.

The rest of the people didn't see any reaction, still immersed in their own sadness or sadness, but Jiang Ke came over and saluted her.

As soon as Lu Qingrong waved his hand to Jiang Ke, he saw Mrs. Wu on the side crying and crying and suddenly fainted.

Although it only took a moment to come back to her senses, Jiang Ke still persuaded her to go back to Qinyi Courtyard.

As soon as Mrs. Wu went out, Jiang Ke said that she was going to the front yard to give some instructions, and then left, followed by Tang Shan.

Only Lu Qingrong is left, and she is not good at staying for a long time.

Originally, she and Qiu Jinting rarely communicated, but now this kind of pain of the early death of the eldest son is not something that a few words of comfort can do.

Seeing that Qiu Jinting was still wiping away his tears with a silk handkerchief, Lu Qingrong only told Xiangqiao that if there was anything needed, he could go to Yuyuan to find her, and then turned around.

However, Jiang Ke did not go to the front yard, but went back to her small courtyard with Tang Shan.

Although Tang Shan is arrogant by nature, and she is usually very cold to the people on Qiu Jinting's side, she is still soft-hearted, although the poor child is Qiu Jinting's son, this accident also makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Isn't the second master going to the front yard?" Tang Shan wondered.

"I just said it casually, these things are naturally taken care of, and I don't need to run around personally." Jiang Ke said honestly, "It's just that I don't want to stay over there, listening to her crying, I feel annoyed." ”

Tang Shan can understand, after all, if this kind of thing happens, Jiang Ke must also be uncomfortable.

But she followed Qiu Jinting from the beginning today, and when she saw the imperial doctor coming one after another, and witnessed the whole process, she inevitably had doubts in her heart, and finally couldn't help but ask at this time.

"Where did the second master find Granny Chu?"

"What are you doing for this?" Jiang Xuan immediately frowned and asked.

Tang Shan didn't take it seriously, and directly said her thoughts: "I heard what the two imperial doctors said before, it seems that in addition to the congenital deficiency of Brother Xiang'er, I am afraid that there are some problems with eating...... I was a little skeptical, is it because the nurse has little experience and takes care of it well? ”

Tang Shan felt that whether it was Mrs. Wu, Jiang Ke, or Qiu Jinting, they would inevitably be concerned and chaotic, and Xu Wei had not noticed some key details.

Who knew that Jiang Ke's face suddenly changed, and he said loudly and unusually strictly: "What nonsense!" It's not the first time that Granny Chu has been feeding her child in Xungui's house, how can she be inexperienced! ”

Taking advantage of Tang Shan's nervousness, Jiang Ke continued: "Granny Chu is about to leave the Hou Mansion, and this kind of thing will not be mentioned again in the future!" ”

After speaking, Jiang Ke didn't leave any explanation, and walked away.

Tang Shan looked at his departing back in a daze, Jiang Ke had never spoken to her so violently before, and suddenly like this, it was really difficult for her to adapt. Fu pondered that he was sad about Brother Xiang'er's affairs, so he didn't think much about it.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Jiang Ke's attitude towards her to return to normal, and she also humorously stopped mentioning the matter.

However, many days have passed, Brother Xiang'er's funeral affairs have been completed one by one, and the first seven have long passed, but the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion has not recovered from the gloom.

Mrs. Wu suddenly began to worship God everywhere, and seemed to blame Brother Xiang'er's untimely death on some kind of karmic cycle, and only by visiting the shrine more sincerely could Jiang Ke's heirs be continued.

Qiu Jinting didn't think the same as her, and she didn't suspect the nurse like Tang Shan, but she couldn't get past the guilt in her heart.

She always couldn't help but regret that if she hadn't deliberately dieted when she was pregnant, Brother Xiang was born just over a month earlier, how could she be so weak......

On this day, Qiu Jinting sat on the stone bench on the shore of Jinghu Lake in the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion, and his heart was still confused by these thoughts.

Xiangqiao stood beside her.

Knowing that the second grandmother has been a little uneasy these days, and the second master has ignored it, Xiangqiao is inevitably worried, for fear that she will have an accident, and today she also paid attention to calling a few more maids to accompany her.

The sky was gloomy, and the wind in early autumn was no longer mild, and suddenly a chill hit, which made Qiu Jinting tremble slightly.

"Go pick up the cloak." Qiu Jinting commanded in a low voice, his voice almost inaudible.

Ordinary Qiu Jinting's clothes were all placed by Xiangqiao himself, and at this time, he looked at a few maids standing next to him, and Xiangqiao was relieved to go.

Not long after Xiangqiao walked away, Qiu Jinting heard a faint noise, from far to near, the sound became louder.

Jinghu is located in the northwest corner of the Hou Mansion, at this time they are located in the west of the north shore, there is still a Lichun Courtyard in the north and the courtyard wall separated, but the west corner is only separated from the street outside by a wall.

At this time, the voice Qiu Jinting heard should have come from that side.

After a while, she gradually heard clearly, it was a sound of beating music, and she could feel the festive atmosphere through the far courtyard wall.

Thinking of his current situation, he is even more bleak.

"I don't know who is doing a happy event," Qiu Jinting muttered alone......

Among the few maids beside him, there is one who is in the limelight.

"The slave maid heard that it was the second master of the Chengping Marquis Mansion who married today. I married Miss Cousin who lived in our maple courtyard a few days ago. ”

As if he hadn't heard, Qiu Jinting turned his face and looked at Jinghu in a daze. R1152
