Chapter 68: The Lost Son (3)
Ling Xi suddenly woke up from her dream, her stiff body was frightened into a cold sweat. Just now in a dream, she saw the cold corpse of the little prince, but Xiang Hongxuan kept asking her, why didn't she take good care of his child? Inadvertently, a tear flowed from the corner of Ling Xi's eye, slowly sliding over her earlobe.
When Aunt Yan saw Ling Xi like this, she immediately came to Ling Xi's bed, gently wiped the fine sweat on Ling Xi's forehead with a silk handkerchief, and then she brought a bowl of soup and medicine and handed it to Ling Xi.
Ling Xi took a sip of the decoction and asked softly, "What time is it?" ”
"It's already ugly."
Ling Xi let out a long sigh, when she left Yingyue Pavilion at the same time, the little prince had already retreated from the high fever, although the palace people she sent to Xiyan Palace to invite Xiang Hongxuan were also blocked out of the palace gate by Feng Yingying, but there was finally no danger, a false alarm. If I talk to Xiang Hongxuan tomorrow, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Ling Xi wrapped the brocade quilt on her body and lay down on the bed, suddenly she remembered Zhao Xinyue's painful expression, if Zhao Xinyue had known that she couldn't keep this child, would Zhao Xinyue still desperately give birth to the little prince?
"Aunt Yan, you said that if Mrs. Zhao's child had been lost at the beginning, would Your Majesty and Mrs. Zhao have much less sadness."
"A child who has never seen his parents, how can the pain of losing a child be so heartbreaking."
Aunt Yan held a soup woman and stood in front of Ling Xi's bed in a daze, but soon she came back to her senses, she carefully put the soup woman into Ling Xi's quilt, she sat on the edge of the bed, and tested the temperature of Ling Xi's forehead with her hands.
"Queen Mother, go to sleep, the slave is guarding you by the bedside, the doctor said that you are freezing today, if you catch a cold again at night, it is estimated that you will be sick for many days."
Ling Xi was stunned, Aunt Yan's actions, which reminded her of Jiang Shuangxue, every time she was greedy for cold when she was a child, Jiang Shuangxue was also guarding her by the bedside. She closed her eyes gently, as if Jiang Shuangxue had returned to her.
"Queen Mother, it's not good, something happened to Yingyue Pavilion." Aunt An roared and broke into the west chamber, and she didn't care that Ling Xi had just lay down, and said loudly.
"What's wrong again?" Ling Xi immediately got up from the bed, and Aunt Yan hurriedly put on a coat for her.
"The little prince began to have a fever again when he passed the child, and just now the palace people came to report that they had fainted now." Aunt Ann said in a panic.
"Go to the Moon Pavilion." Ling Xi said loudly.
As soon as Ling Xi walked to the door of the Reflecting Moon Pavilion, she heard a heart-rending cry from inside, it was Zhao Xinyue's cry, and then there was a wail in the Reflecting Moon Pavilion, and a palace person walked out of the Reflecting Moon Pavilion, and she saw Ling Xi immediately kneeling on the ground.
"Queen Mother, the little prince has passed away." The palace man cried softly.
Ling Xi stood at the door of the Yingyue Pavilion in a daze, her feet seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and she couldn't take a step, and there were bursts of Zhao Xinyue's cry in her ears, a cold wind blew, Ling Xi's body trembled a little, in the middle of this cold winter night, Zhao Xinyue died of her son, and the Dongyu Empire had no prince, who would be more sad than whom?

Ling Xi looked at Hongxuan's solemn expression, she cautiously came to his side and served the tea in her hand.
"Your Majesty, take a sip of hot tea."
Xiang Hongxuan didn't seem to hear Ling Xi's words, he held his head with one hand on the desk, quietly pondering. Ling Xi gently put the tea on the bookcase, and just as he wanted to leave, Xiao Dezi walked into the Dongnuan Pavilion.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Niangniang is asking to see you outside the courtyard." Xiao Dezi said softly.
After a long time, the fingers on Xiang Hongxuan's face moved slightly, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his deep eyes, and he said faintly: "I don't see." ”
It seems that Xiao Dezi saw the sadness and sorrow in Xiang Hongxuan's heart at the moment, and he immediately withdrew from the Dongnuan Pavilion.
Ling Xi was just about to turn around and leave, when one of Xiang Hongxuan's hands grabbed Ling Xi's wrist, and Xiang Hongxuan's eyes seemed to be slightly red.
"Queen, stay with me."
Ling Xi saw Xiang Hongxuan like this for the first time, Xiang Hongxuan was a little vulnerable, she gently put Xiang Hongxuan's head on her chest, and patted Xiang Hongxuan's shoulder like a sleeping child.
"Your Majesty, spring has come, everything will be fine."
"Queen, I haven't thought of a name for the little prince until now, you say, will he blame me?"
"The little prince won't blame you, you are the best father in the world."
Suddenly, a tear fell on Xiang Hongxuan's face, and his expression became painful.
"But I didn't even see my son for the last time, and I'm not a good father."
"The little prince is very sick, no one would have thought of it, don't blame Your Majesty." Ling Xi continued to comfort Xiang Hongxuan.
Ling Xi knew that it was Feng Yuying who blocked the palace people who went to report, so Xiang Hongxuan didn't see the last face of the little prince, but no one dared to mention it, because if Xiang Hongxuan really wanted to come to Yingyue Pavilion, no one could stop him.
Xiang Hongxuan picked up a piece of music on the bookcase and handed it to Ling Xi, Ling Xi opened it and saw that this was a national letter from Chen Shubao, the lord of Nanxi, saying that Nanxi was willing to offer thousands of Nanji people and hundreds of rare birds and beasts in order to allow the two countries to live in peace.
"Nanxi didn't want to start a war with Dongyu, Nanxi sent beauties and rare birds, saying that he wanted to be able to stop the war, and he would give a million taels of silver later."
Ling Xi put down the chapter in his hand, Nan Ji and rare birds are of little use, but this million silver is a lot of income, it seems that Xiang Hongxuan doesn't want to fight, for this windfall?
"Your Majesty, the world is peaceful, and it is also a happy event."
Xiang Hongxuan raised his head and stared at Ling Xi, and asked solemnly: "Is it that I want to fight, and God blames me, so the little prince will die?" ”
"Your Majesty, don't think too much, the little prince doesn't want to see you so sad
。 ”
Ling Xi doesn't believe in the Mandate of Heaven, and she doesn't think that Xiang Hong believes in it, but now Nanxi's truce and sacrifice of silver has caught up with the predicament of the little prince's premature death, which makes Xiang Hongxuan have to dispel the idea of starting a war, Xiang Hongxuan is a rational emperor, and even the sadness is sober, which is exactly what makes people feel sad.
Xiang Hongxuan pulled Ling Xi into his arms, Ling Xi sat on Xiang Hongxuan's lap, and Xiang Hongxuan gently stroked Ling Xi's face with one hand.
"Queen, give me a prince, I want a son, Dongyu Kingdom needs a prince."
Ling Xi looked at Xiang Hongxuan, at this moment, whether he wanted to fill the pain of Sizi or for the stability of the country, Ling Xi felt extremely sorry for the man in front of her, she nodded lightly.
.....................................................................................................................
Feng Yingying paced up in the Xiyan Palace a little anxiously, today she went to the Dongnuan Pavilion to ask to see Xiang Hongxuan, but was turned away, Feng Yingying knew that Xiang Hongxuan was angry and angry with her. She didn't expect that the palace people who came to invite Xiang Hongxuan several times that night turned out to be the truth. She didn't expect that the little prince would die of illness in the middle of the night, and Xiang Hongxuan would definitely blame her.
Thinking of this, Feng Yingying was even more uneasy, the nurse slowly walked into the hall with the princess in her arms, Feng Yingying saw the daughter in the nurse's arms, and a worried heart calmed down a little, for the sake of her daughter, Xiang Hongxuan shouldn't blame her, right?
In fact, she really doesn't blame her for this matter, in the past month, Zhao Xinyue asked the palace people to come to Xiyan Palace to invite His Majesty to Yingyue Pavilion, every time it was said that the prince had a fever, Feng Yingying didn't think that these were all accidents, it was clear that Zhao Xinyue invited the prince to favor again.
That day, Xiang Hongxuan was discussing state affairs with the ministers all day long, and only arrived at Xiyan Palace in the evening, and just after dinner, Xiang Hongxuan was a little sleepy and took a nap. Feng Yingying blocked the palace people sent by Zhao Xinyue and Ling Xi, but she also told Xiang Hongxuan afterwards that Xiang Hongxuan didn't take it seriously, and she couldn't be blamed completely.
Thinking of this, Feng Yingying felt that she was wronged, she should have been sleeping by her today, but just now Xiaodezi's father-in-law came to tell her that Xiang Hongxuan stayed in Qingfeng Garden today, and Xiang Hongxuan was alienating herself? Suddenly, the princess in her arms also began to cry, and Feng Yingying was a little angry.
"Are you going to bully me?"
She yelled at the princess a little angrily, and the princess cried even more, and she looked at her daughter, who was full of tears and a little pitiful, and suddenly felt that something was wrong with her.
"Isn't Hongu too easy to get angry?"
Suddenly, she asked the palace people around her, and the palace people were stunned for a moment, and said cautiously: "Concubine Niangniang, if you care about it, you will be a little emotional." ”
Feng Yingying smiled bitterly, the palace people were also perfunctory to her, and
And in the perfunctory, he also told her a fact, she did have some inappropriate behavior, but is she to blame?
She is sincere to Xiang Hongxuan, so true that there is no room for a little flaw, so she can't turn a blind eye to Xiang Hongxuan's pampering of others, she knows that Xiang Hongxuan is the emperor, and there will be many concubines in the three palaces and six courts, but she is more serious, she wants to be the only woman in Xiang Hongxuan, for a woman, she asks her lover to be consistent with herself, is she wrong?
Feng Yingying recalled the Xihua harem, she has been a golden branch and jade leaf since she was a child, she has the love of her father and mother, and she has a younger brother who follows her in everything, Feng Yingying never knows what flattery and pandering, and she doesn't know how to flatter and invite pets. She just didn't expect that one day she would marry into Dongyu's harem, and in this huge harem, she was actually delusional about having a couple for a lifetime, and suddenly Feng Yingying felt that she was a little silly and cute, even if she knew it now, she still couldn't help but fantasize that Xiang Hongxuan was consistent with herself.
Feng Yingying looked at the sky outside the hall, seeing that the sunset was about to set, Xiang Hongxuan would not come today, so what about tomorrow? And tomorrow? Feng Yingying left again and fell into melancholy.
Suddenly, the parrot in the temple shouted, "He's coming, he's coming." ”
Feng Yingying immediately looked outside the hall, but she didn't see anyone. Feng Yingying came to the parrot cage disappointed, she looked at this clever parrot, remembered Feng Xiaotian, her eyes rolled, and she said faintly: "Tomorrow, I will go to the palace to pass on King Lin'an, and I will say that the palace is unwell." ”
