In the blink of an eye, the fifteenth day of the New Year has passed, but the emperor's rain and dew are still continuing in the various nobles, on the night of the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Qin Yuan is resting in the cabinet, and suddenly Aunt Lan ran in in a hurry, her face was full of anxiety, and she shouted as soon as she entered the house, "Master...... Master ......", Qin Yuan frowned slightly, "What's wrong with being so panicked?" ”

Aunt Lan approached and said in a panic, "Master, the concubine is dead." Qin Yuan was still calm, but when she heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, "What? Aunt Lan looked at Qin Yuan's discolored face, and didn't dare to speak out again, "If the concubine is dead." ”

Qin Yuan got up suddenly, and said anxiously, "Bring the cloak, this concubine is going to Yuxiu Palace." Aunt Lan hurriedly went to get the cloak and the stove, and turned to see that Qin Yuan was gone.

When Qin Yuan arrived at Yuxiu Palace, the emperor, the queen mother, the queen and Yi Guifei were already sitting in the palace, and they were deeply worried when they saw Qin Yuan coming, and in the hall, a blue coffin was placed in the middle, and the surrounding area was decorated with white, and the wreaths were placed on both sides, it seemed that Qin Ling had been gone for a long time.

After Qin Yuan entered the palace, she looked at the coffin with a wooden look, she had long forgotten to salute the emperor and others, only to feel that her heart was blocked, and the tears in her eyes had already filled her eyes...... Eldest sister ......"

The Queen Mother was suddenly distressed and comforted, "Yuan'er, the matter has come to this point, let's mourn and change." How did Qin Yuan listen to it at this moment, tears fell like pear blossoms with rain, and the sad affection was on her face, such a beauty was sad, it was really distressing.

Qin Yuan cried and complained, "Eldest sister, why did you leave like this, how did you tell your sister to explain to your father, how to explain to your mother, eldest sister, you left your sister alone in this deep palace, what can my sister do in the future, eldest sister, ......", the painful cry became bigger and bigger, and everyone couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.

Concubine Yi was extremely distressed, and squatted down to support Qin Yuan's shoulders, "Sister, don't cry, you will have my sister in the future." ”

Qin Yuan saw Yi Guifei as if she was a relative, and immediately threw herself into Yi Guifei's arms and cried bitterly, "Sister, the eldest sister is gone, gone!" A few days ago, my sister went to see that it was okay, how can I say that I will leave! Woo woo woo ......", Concubine Yi didn't know how to comfort her for a while, and patted Qin Yuan's shoulder with tears in her eyes.

The queen frowned slightly and said, "Concubine Hui's body has just recovered, don't be too sad, your body is important." At this time, the Queen Mother also said, "Yes, your sister has gone, if you are sick again, how can the mourning family explain to your father." ”

Qin Yuan only cared about sadness, and couldn't listen to the words of others at all, Qing Cang looked at Qin Yuan's sad appearance in Yi Guifei's arms, although her face didn't do too much, she couldn't help but feel nervous, and then got up and picked Qin Yuan up from Yi Guifei's arms, hugged her in her arms with great pity and said, "If you want to cry, cry out." ”

When Qin Yuan heard this, she was immersed in Qing Cang's arms and cried loudly, Qing Cang frowned tightly, the pity in her eyes seemed real, and Concubine Yi could see Qing Cang's true feelings, and she was immediately relieved.

Qin Yuan cried for a long time, and the crying gradually stopped when she was tired, and her emotions gradually became reasonable.

When the Queen Mother saw Qin Yuan leaving, her forbearant emotions were released, her eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, and she said sadly, "My poor Yuan'er." The queen comforted on the side, "Don't be too sad, Concubine Hui has always been smart and open-minded, and she will see it." ”

The Queen Mother took a heavy breath, and said to the emperor and queen with a little complaint, "The mourning family has reminded you, since you have decided to conceal the facts to the Xue family, if the concubine is confined in this Yuxiu Palace, don't be too harsh, now that Yuan'er has entered the palace, she can see the embarrassment of Yuxiu Palace at a glance, and now that the concubine is frozen to death, where are you making our royal family face in front of the Xue family?" The queen was silent suddenly, she had clearly informed the Internal Affairs Office that all the treatment of Concubine Ru would remain unchanged, but now the fact that Concubine Ru froze to death was in front of her, and it was useless for her to explain.

Qing Cang frowned, "It's the emperor's inconsiderate handling that annoys the queen mother." ”

The Queen Mother still didn't mean to stop, "The Xue family is a loyal minister for generations, if General Xue hadn't supported you to ascend the throne with thousands of troops and horses, do you think you can fight Prince Mu?" Now that the ministers support you and fear you, aren't the soldiers in General Xue's hands under your command? The four sons of the Xue family all guarded the border passes, and the two daughters made concubines for you, and one of them actually froze to death! Originally, General Xue would naturally be grateful to our royal family, but now that he was frozen to death, how could General Xue not think about it? Emperor, even if the concubine ruined one of your children, how can you be rash with such a loyal monarch and minister! ”

The more the Queen Mother spoke, the more excited she became, and she was so angry that her chest panted up and down, how could Qing Cang not understand these truths? Then he turned his head and glanced at the queen resentfully, and the queen suddenly felt aggrieved.

Concubine Yi said softly at this time, "Queen Mother, in fact, the queen has asked the Internal Affairs Office to send it as usual, presumably which concubine has a bad heart." Qing Cang's eyes suddenly turned fierce, "The queen, Yi Guifei, find out who has a bad heart, and after finding out who it is, you will be executed immediately and will not be tolerated." ”

"Yes." , the queen and the concubine Yi Guifei received the order.

The Queen Mother then said tenaciously, "It's too late to think about what to do." The queen said at this moment, "Let's bury the concubine beautifully, so that the Xue family can still have some face." Concubine Yi nodded again and again, "Although Concubine Ru did something wrong, didn't Concubine Xiang almost hurt Concubine Hui a few days ago?" Let's just take it as a flattening, our royal family doesn't miss the sin of being like a concubine, and the beautiful funeral can be regarded as giving the Xue family face. Qing Cang then also said, "Let's chase Concubine Ru as a noble concubine and bury her in the imperial mausoleum." ”

The Queen Mother's mood gradually calmed down a bit, and she couldn't help but worry, "But the matter of Concubine Ru's freezing to death can't be hidden from Yuan'er after all, besides, she came to visit Concubine Ru a few days ago, and she didn't see the embarrassment of Yuxiu Palace." At this time, Concubine Yi said, "Concubine Hui is a reasonable person, and Concubine Hui knows what to do is a good policy." ”

At this time, only a soft voice came out, "The emperor, the queen mother." ”

The four of them all turned their heads together and found that Qin Yuan had come out, Qin Yuan walked in front of the four of them, "The concubine asks the emperor and the queen mother to say goodbye, and the queen concubine is so sad that she forgot her sense of proportion, and I hope that the queen mother will not blame the concubine." Qing Cang said softly, "Yuan'er's grief is still reasonable, how can I and the Queen Mother blame?" ”

Although Qin Yuan had stabilized her mood and stopped crying, the ruddy eyes and unsmiling expression really showed her sadness, and then she said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has a reluctant request. ”

"Say, as long as I can do it, I will allow you."

"The concubine hopes to make Yuxiu Palace warmer, the eldest sister has always been afraid of the cold before her death, and the concubine hopes that the eldest sister can go with peace of mind." , Qin Yuan's words seemed to accuse the emperor of treating the eldest sister for a long time, which made Qing Cang inevitably feel a little emotional, but said lightly, "Okay, I promise you." ”

Then Qin Yuan said calmly, "The emperor and the queen mother can rest assured, although the concubine has lost the eldest sister, but the concubine still understands the importance of the concubine, the concubine will not talk too much in front of her father, the eldest sister was not in good health before her death, and there are too few people around her. ”

Although Qin Yuan's words are a request, they are telling the emperor, how did you treat the eldest sister before your death, I will not tell my father, and now in order to appease my father, I quickly ordered someone to make the appearance that the eldest sister had not been treated before her death, so that my father would naturally be grateful to Dade when he entered the palace.

Qing Cang suddenly had to admire Qin Yuan's deep understanding of righteousness, and couldn't believe that a seventeen-year-old girl could be so conscious.

Qingcang said without hesitation, "It's rare that Yuan'er has such filial piety, and I will allow it." Qin Yuan blessed her body, "Thank the emperor for his grace." ”
