Chapter 111: Rumors
Ling Xi sat on the edge of the bed with her son in her arms, a tear flowed out of her eye socket, as if her eye socket was an unturned faucet, and she couldn't shed her tears. Ling Xi's eyes were full of palace people kneeling, no one dared to step forward to speak, and the whole room was quiet, except for Ling Xi's soft crying.
Aunt Yan got up, she came to Ling Xi's side, and said softly: "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has gone, don't be too sad." ”
Saying that, she stretched out her hand to take away the body of the third prince who had been cold from Ling Xi's bad, Ling Xi turned around and staggered Aunt Yan's hands, Ling Xi said in a low voice: "You are talking nonsense, the third prince is just asleep, he will wake up later, today is the full moon of the three princes, and the palace will also give the three princes a gift of the full moon, you go and pass on Imperial Doctor Chen, Imperial Doctor Chen will give the third prince some medicine, and the third prince will be fine." ”
Ling Xi looked at Aunt Yan with deep eyes, as if as long as Aunt Yan believed her words, her words were the truth, and the son in her arms was just too weak and fell asleep.
"No, Queen Mother, Imperial Physician Chen will not enter the palace again, the third prince has died, you have to mourn." Aunt Yan said categorically.
Ling Xi raised her teary eyes and looked at Aunt Yan, all of Ling Xi's illusions were shattered in an instant, she cried loudly, her hand hugged her son in her arms even more, Ling Xi gradually felt a chill coming from the body of her son in her arms, and the more she cried, the more sad she became.
Aunt Yan leaned on Ling Xi, gently hugged Ling Xi's head tightly in her arms, and let Ling Xi cry bitterly, maybe Ling Xi was tired of crying for a long time, she asked faintly, "What about Your Majesty?" ”
"Your Majesty is in Guanju Palace, and Aunt An has already gone to invite Your Majesty over." Aunt Yan whispered.
After a while, Aunt An walked into the house quickly, she glanced at Ling Xi, whose face was full of tears, and leaned slightly behind Aunt Yan. Ling Xi noticed Aunt An, she looked at the figure that there was no Xiang Hongxuan in the room, and she asked, "Aunt An, where is Your Majesty?" ”
"Niangniang, Concubine Xiao De's abdomen is in pain today, Your Majesty urgently recruited Imperial Doctor Chen to go to Guanju Palace to see Concubine Xiao De, it is estimated that she will not come to Qingfeng Yuan today." Aunt Ann whispered back.
Aunt Yan turned around and glared at Aunt An, Aunt An immediately shut up and stopped talking, after Ling Xi heard Aunt An's words, she hugged her son in her arms a little tighter, her expression was sluggish.
Aunt Yan waved her hand and sent everyone out of the house, she comforted Ling Xi again: "Niangniang, Your Majesty was stumped by Concubine Xiao De today, and Your Majesty wants to come to Qingfeng Garden." ”
"Aunt Yan, you don't have to comfort the palace, you don't understand, if there is no such thing as Concubine Xiao De, Your Majesty will not come." Ling Xi said lightly.
"Mother, you think too much."
Ling Xi smiled bitterly and said, "Really? Maybe. ”
Aunt Yan wanted to take away the body of the third prince from Ling Xi again, but Ling Xi was still unwilling to let go, she said: "Aunt Yan, today is my son's full moon, let this palace hold him again, and this palace will not have a chance to hold him again in the future, okay?" ”
Two lines of tears rolled down from Ling Xi's eyes, and Aunt Yan looked sad
Ling Xi silently turned around and left.

Xiang Hongxuan walked in the direction of Qingfeng Garden, walking and walking, and walked in the direction of Qingfeng Garden, suddenly he stopped again, he looked up in the direction of Qingfeng Garden, and seemed to be a little struggling.
Originally, yesterday he wanted to go to Qingfeng Garden later to see his son who was full moon, but he hadn't taken the step of visiting his son yet, but the news of his son's death came. He was sad and indignant, he didn't know who he was to blame, he wanted to kill the quack doctors in the Tai Hospital to bury his son, but he caught up with Xiao Xiangxiang's unstable fetus, Xiao Xiangxiang named and asked Imperial Doctor Chen to take care of her fetus. Xiang Hongxuan no longer has a son, he can't allow Xiao Xiangxiang to lose this child, he can only helplessly suppress the grief and anger in his heart. His grief, which had nowhere to vent, ran through his heart, making him even more timid and unable to take a single step.
Xiang Hongxuan sighed melancholy, he should go to see his son for the last time, he was a little ashamed of this son, from the birth of the third prince to his death, he actually never saw this son once, let alone hugged the third prince, he didn't want to, but the timing was wrong.
Maybe he could go to Qingfeng Yuan to comfort Ling Xi now, but what should he say when he saw Ling Xi? Ling Xi is not as good as before, she will mind, and Xiao Xiangxiang is pregnant after being poisoned, Chen Xuan said that Xiao Xiangxiang's body is not as good as before, Xiao Xiangxiang's side needs him, he is going to Qingfeng Yuan, Xiao Xiangxiang will also be depressed. Xiang Hongxuan paced up in the Imperial Garden in a tangled manner, like a headless fly, swaying back and forth in the two directions of Guan Ju Palace and Qingfeng Garden.
Suddenly, there was a whisper in the forest behind him, as if there were a few exclamations, Xiang Hongxuan walked into the forest with some curiosity, only to see several palace people gathered around, bowing their heads and chatting there.
"Have you all heard? The early death of the third prince is retribution. A palace man said mysteriously.
Xiang Hongxuan was shocked, the words of the palace man were like a hammer, hurting his heart, could it be that his son's death was strange?
"Say what?" Xiang Hongxuan shouted.
These palace people found that Xiang Hongxuan was standing behind them, and they were so frightened that they immediately fell to their knees, trembling, and did not dare to speak again.
Xiang Hongxuan walked quickly to the palace man who had just spoken, he stared at this palace person, and the palace man rolled in his heart a few times just now, and asked word by word: "You just said that the early death of the third prince is retribution?" What do you mean? ”
The palace people were so frightened that they kowtowed to Xiang Hongxuan again and again, begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, the slave is talking nonsense, please atone for your sins." ”
"I'll ask you again, what do you mean by that?" Xiang Hongxuan roared angrily.
The palace people obviously felt Xiang Hongxuan's anger at the moment, and she knew that if she didn't say it again, it was estimated that she would be small in the next second
Life is in jeopardy.
"Your Majesty, there are rumors in the palace that the third prince was killed by resentful spirits, so he died innocently." The palace man said timidly.
"Wraiths? You tell me what the hell is going on. ”
"Your Majesty, there is a legend in Dongyu that the baby who is aborted by the mother will be incarnated into a resentful spirit, and when the mother becomes pregnant again, it will be attached to the mother's womb, and generally the pregnant woman who is possessed by the resentful spirit will have dystocia, just like, just like when the queen mother gave birth to the three princes, so, so it is rumored in the palace that the three princes were killed by the resentful spirit." The palace man said in a hurry.
Xiang Hongxuan's body swayed, he didn't seem to believe the words of the palace people, and said angrily: "Nonsense, you palace people don't serve your master well, you are here all day long, and you are still talking about right and wrong here, and you are so bold to confuse the public." Little Dezi, Little Dezi. ”
Xiao Dezi, who was not far away, heard Xiang Hongxuan's shout, and immediately trotted in front of Xiang Hongxuan, and Xiang Hongxuan continued to roar angrily: "Send these palace people to the Huanyi Bureau on errands, and never be allowed to step into the harem." After speaking, Xiang Hongxuan angrily left the imperial garden and walked towards Guan Ju Palace.

Ling Xi slowly walked to the window in her fur coat, she pushed open the window, it was snowing outside, in this silent and cold night, Ling Xi was not sleepy at all, as soon as she closed her eyes, her son's weak little body, every time she could toss and turn in pain.
A snowflake floated into the window, Ling Xi couldn't help but stretch out his hand to catch the snowflake, and soon the heat of his palm melted the snowflake, sure enough, in the cold winter, there was no cold that could not be warmed. Ling Xi looked at the East Warm Pavilion in the East Chamber, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
Yesterday, Princess Bo Baoling took Princess Pingnan into the palace to visit her, she knew that Jiang Wanfeng and Wu Chengan had returned to Pingcheng a few days ago, she had long known that Xiang Hongxuan would let Jiang Wanfeng return to Pingcheng, but she didn't expect it to be a few days after her son's death, Xiang Hongxuan couldn't wait to send Jiang Wanfeng back to Pingcheng, what was Xiang Hongxuan afraid of? Or are you worried about something?
Recently, the palace has been very lively, after the beginning of spring, the second prince Xiang Minghao is about to turn one year old, the Ministry of Rites has begun to prepare for Xiang Minghao's sacrifice ceremony, and Xiao Xiangxiang is about to give birth, these two things are major events in the palace, Xiang Hongxuan should not be able to remember her Qingfeng Garden.
Ling Xi walked to the desk in disbelief, looking at the pen and ink in front of her, she picked up the pen and wrote a few lines of big characters, at this time Aunt Yan also walked into the house when she heard the sound, she came to Ling Xi's side, looked down, Ling Xi wrote yes, from near to far from east to west, to deep to shallow Qingxi. As high as the sun and the moon, from relatives to husband and wife.
"Queen Mother, this is the eighth solstice of the poetess Li Zhi, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to write such a poem at this time." Aunt Yan said worriedly.
Ling Xi's eyebrows tightened, and he asked, "Yan."
Auntie, have you read a book? ”
Aunt Yan was stunned, seemed to think of something, and said: "Before the slave maid entered the palace, my father and brother were all people who read poetry and books, and the slave maid was just a little bit of poetry. ”
Ling Xi looked at Aunt Yan suspiciously, the first time she saw Aunt Yan, she felt that she didn't look like a palace person, she was born in an ordinary palace person, how could she have read a book? Only the young lady of the eunuch family has the opportunity to read and write.
Aunt Yan walked to the window, she closed the window neatly, and said, "Niangniang, it's cold and let's go back to the room to rest, don't freeze." ”
Ling looked at the closed window, and suddenly said, "Aunt Yan, have you heard?" It is rumored in the palace that the three princes died of resentment and retribution. ”
Saying that, a line of tears flowed from Ling Xi's face, and Aunt Yan immediately came to Ling Xi's side, she gently wiped away the tears on Ling Xi's face, and whispered, "Niangniang, do you believe in the theory of ghosts and gods?" ”
"This palace doesn't want to believe it, but Dongyu does have such a legend, maybe it's really ................"
"Queen Mother, you are too worried, the words of ghosts and gods are not credible." Aunt Yan interrupted Ling Xi's words, and she said firmly.
Ling Xi looked at Aunt Yan, Aunt Yan was still expressionless, and she asked with some confusion, "Aunt Yan, don't you believe it?" ”
"Queen Mother, slaves and maids never believe in ghosts and gods, especially in the harem, even if there are really ghosts and gods, in the harem, they can't compare to the wicked." Aunt Yan said coldly.
