40 Xiu'er's death
The queen walked back to the bed and sat down, her brows furrowed, I really don't know if anyone has found Xiu'er now. Xiu'er has followed her since she first entered the palace, and she has been following her for many years, and this person said that there would be no more.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and the palace maid named Lin Lin just now ran in in a panic.
"Niangniang, something happened, something happened."
The queen's heart suddenly raised, and she glanced at Lin Lin calmly: "What is so panicked, what big things can happen in this palace?" ”
"Aunt Xiu'er, she's dead." Lin Lin knelt down as he spoke.
The palace maids who were cleaning up were all a little surprised You look at me, I look at you, zuihou fixed his eyes on the queen's body.
The queen stood up suddenly, her body swayed a little, and Qinghong hurriedly went over to help her. The queen looked at Lin Lin who was kneeling on the ground and said, "What the hell is going on, Xiu'er was still good just now, and the palace asked her to fetch water to make tea, why did she die all of a sudden." ”
Lin Lin raised her head, tears were already flowing from the corners of her eyes, and she choked up: "Niangniang just asked the slave maid to find Xiuhe and Auntie, and the slave maid went to the kitchen to look for it, and the people in the kitchen said that they didn't see it." The slave maid remembered that the maid said, let the aunt go to fetch water to make new tea, so she went to the well to have a look, and the slave maid found this at the well. Lin Lin stretched out her hand, an earring in the palm of her hand.
The queen looked at the earrings, and she reached out and took them: "This is a reward from the palace for Xiu'er." ”
"Yes, my aunt said it was her favorite, so she wore it every day. The slave picked up the earrings and shouted her aunt's name loudly, but no one answered the slave. The slave and maid cried out that they were thirsty, so they wanted to draw some water from the well and drink it, but the slave and maid saw it at the bottom of the well, and saw ??????." Lin Lin didn't say the next words, she bit her lip tightly.
The queen clenched into a fist: "What do you see?" ”
When they saw a dead body in the well, the slave and maid cried out in fright, and when the people in the kitchen heard it, they all ran over. Retrieve the corpse, and when I saw that it was the body of Aunt Xiu'er, the big guys were waiting for the mother to go over and see, how to deal with it. ”
The queen's body trembled a little, and she said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”
Lin Lin stood up and rushed to the kitchen with Qinghong and the queen.
The small kitchen of the "Wanxi Palace", in the westernmost palace of the palace, each palace has a self-drawn well. When the queen rushed over, the well was already full of palace people, and there was still the sound of crying.
"Niangniang is here, Niangniang is here." When someone saw the queen coming, they spoke, and everyone took a few steps back, their heads bowed and did not dare to say anything more.
Xiu'er's body was lying on the ground, her whole body was wet, her expression was painful, her hands were clenched into fists, and her eyes were glaring.
The queen looked at Xiu'er like that, she couldn't help but shudder, this poor palace maid died because of herself.
"Xiu'er." The queen shouted, then crouched down. "Why do you say that you will leave as soon as you go, what do you want this palace to do?"
Xia Gonggong was on the side and said to the queen: "Niangniang, you have to mourn, Miss Xiu'er is gone, don't be too sad." ”
The queen stretched out her hand, stroked Xiu'er's eyes and then took them away, and Xiu'er's eyes closed when she was staring at the boss. The queen stood up and looked at everyone: "Does anyone know how Xiu'er died?" ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to answer.
Father-in-law Xia said: "Niangniang, the weather is so cold now, and everyone hasn't come out, it must be that Miss Xiu'er accidentally slipped into the well when she was fetching water." ”
The queen said: "Father-in-law Xia, you go to the Internal Affairs Mansion to run errands, and let them find a piece of land to bury Xiu'er, this girl has been with the palace for so many years, and she died in such an unknown way." The queen raised her hand and wiped the tears from her face.
Father-in-law Xia nodded: "The old slave knows, so who will Niangniang decide to use in the future?" ”
The queen glanced at it, and Zuihou fixed her eyes on Qinghong: "Let's be Qinghong, this girl has been following Xiu'er for so long, and she must be clear about the habits of this palace." ”
Qinghong was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down: "Thank you, slave." ”
The queen glanced at her: "If you want to thank Xiu'er, thank Xiu'er, if she doesn't die, you won't have a chance." ”
Qinghong was a little dumbfounded, she turned her head to look at Xiu'er's corpse, and Xiu'er's eyes, which had been closed, opened suddenly. "Ahh Qinghong screamed loudly in fright, sat down on the ground, and pointed to Xiu'er's corpse speechless.
Everyone turned their heads to look at Xiu'er's corpse, and they were all startled, just now they obviously watched the queen close her eyes, why did they open them again now, and those eyes were so terrifying, looking at people's hearts were cold.
The queen couldn't help but take a few steps back, her constant panting, and she stared at Xiu'er's wide eyes.
Father-in-law Xia squatted down, closed Xiu's eyes again, and said in his mouth: "Miss Xiu'er, go early and reincarnate early, and vote for a good family in the next life." ”
The queen turned around and strode away, her heart feeling very depressed.
Father-in-law Xia glanced at Qinghong: "What are you doing in a daze?" Hurry up and keep up with the mother. ”
Qinghong got up from the ground in a panic and hurriedly caught up with the queen.
Father-in-law Xia said to Lin Lin: "Lin Lin, you are smarter than Qinghong's girl, you will also serve Niangniang with Qinghong in the future, Niangniang lost Xiu'er, this must be uncomfortable." ”
Lin Lin nodded.
Father-in-law Xia arranged for someone to go to the "Zixia Palace" immediately to invite Qin Yunuo back, there was such a big thing in the palace, the queen must have wanted her son's comfort.
When the queen returned to the room, there were still unfinished cutlery on the table, and she stepped forward and lifted the table hard, and everything on the table fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Qinghong then ran in: "Niangniang, Niangniang, are you okay?" ”
The queen couldn't hold back any longer, she slowly squatted on the ground and began to cry. "Xiu'er, it's all this palace, it's this palace that killed you, it's this palace that killed you."
Qinghong is still serving the queen for the first time, and she really doesn't know what to do for a while.
Lin Lin also ran in, she didn't say anything, and after slowly packing up all the things on the ground, she went to help the queen who was already crying and smoking.
"Niangniang, people can't be resurrected after death, how can you blame Niangniang for my aunt's death. Long said, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, not to mention that the aunt herself accidentally fell into the well, you can't blame the mother. ”
The queen shook her head, if everyone knew that Xiu'er was killed by Fan Wentian, they would definitely not say that.
