In the early morning, a warm sun sprinkled in the harem, accompanied by bursts of birds' melodious calls, instantly woke up the palace people in all palaces and courtyards, and after a while, the palace people began to get busy.

In the Flower Dance Pavilion, Xing'er took a basin of hot water and carefully pushed open the door of the inner room, only to see that Bai Qiuci was still sleeping on the bed, and there seemed to be no sign of getting up. Xing'er immediately withdrew lightly from the inner room, she thought that Bai Qiuci would not be able to get up for a while, and she would not be able to use this basin of hot water.

She came outside and was spilling the hot water in the basin when suddenly a coquettish voice slowly reached Apricot's ears.

"Oops, Apricot, you almost got my shoes and socks wet."

As soon as Xing'er looked up, she saw Cuiyun jumping a few times, dangling in front of her, complaining about her vigorously.

"Sister Cuiyun, it's all my fault, this early in the morning, in a daze, without paying attention, I bumped into my sister, my good sister, don't worry about my sister." Xing'er hurriedly said with a smile.

She didn't dare to offend Cuiyun, who didn't know that Cuiyun was an old man in the palace, and she was very clever in doing things, but she was pleasing to her master. Isn't this because of Cuiyun's ability to be assigned to the Flower Dance Pavilion to become Bai Qiuci's close maid, but she is much more decent than her, a low-level palace person who does rough work.

As she spoke, Cuiyun had already walked into the outhouse, she looked at the door of the inner room and asked, "Hasn't Madame gotten up yet?" ”

"No, I just glanced at the door, and Madame is still asleep." Apricot replied quietly.

Cuiyun's black eyes jumped up and down a few times in her eye sockets, she slowly approached the door of the inner room, gently pushed the door open, and looked at the inner room along the small crack in the door, it seemed that Bai Qiuci had woken up.

She smiled slightly, took a few steps away from the door, and said: "Xing'er, you have to be careful in serving Madame recently, Madame's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the stable women are living in the Flower Dance Pavilion, maybe Madame will give birth at any time, like this hot water for washing, it can't be too hot, and it can't be cold, you have to watch carefully, you know?" ”

Xing'er echoed continuously, she couldn't help but admire Cuiyun from the bottom of her heart, sure enough, Cuiyun was more careful than them, and everything was thoughtful, no wonder the masters liked her so much.

Suddenly, Cuiyun thought of something again, and said solemnly to Xing'er: "By the way, in the recent period, if there are rumors outside the palace, don't spread to Madame's ears, especially the Bai family's affairs, so as not to distract Madame, you know?" ”

"The matter of the Bai family? Sister, what happened to the Bai family? Xing'er asked with some curiosity.

"You don't know, it's all spread in this palace."

When Cuiyun said this, Xing'er suddenly became interested, and she asked, "What the hell is going on, my sister said to hear it." ”

The corners of Cuiyun's mouth raised slightly, she deliberately raised her voice, as if she was not worried about disturbing Bai Qiuci in the inner room, and said: "It was said that His Majesty asked the young master of the Bai family to take the Bai family's caravan to Beirong to do trade now, if this is normal, you must know that Beirong is provoking in the north when it is fine, and the border is often conflicting, and now the north is not peaceful." In addition, the leak of the Nanxi Army Report before

Not long after the young masters of the Bai family left the cell, the eldest young master died not long after he went back because he was punished too severely, this time His Majesty suddenly asked the young masters of the Bai family to go to the north, it seems that this time the Bai family's trip to the north is afraid that it will be as fierce and auspicious. ”

There was a bang, and suddenly the door of the inner room opened, Bai Qiuci walked out of the inner room excitedly, she dragged her heavy body to Cuiyun's side, and asked with some trembling, "Are you telling the truth?" ”

Xing'er panicked, and inadvertently the copper basin in her hand fell to the ground, the piercing copper sound sounded, Bai Qiuci's body swayed a little, and it seemed that in this noisy sound, her heart was also uneasy.

"Madam, the slave maid also heard this from the palace, it is said that the young masters of the Bai family have taken the caravan to the north a few days ago." Cuiyun whispered.

Suddenly there was a burst of pain in Bai Qiuci's heart, she couldn't help but cover her chest with her hands, she turned around and walked to the inner room in despair, the moment she turned around, a few teardrops rolled off her somewhat pale face, and suddenly Bai Qiuci, who had just walked a few steps, had an unstable center of gravity and fell to the ground, Bai Qiuci screamed, and in an instant, beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from her forehead, and there were muddy water stains under her.

Xing'er was at a loss for what to do, Cuiyun was holding Bai Qiuci, who was a little in pain, with a weird smile on her face, she raised her head and shouted: "Come on, Madame is about to give birth, quickly call the imperial doctor and Wen Po." ”

.....................................................................................................................

Xiang Hongxuan anxiously paced back and forth in the Flower Dance Pavilion, and in the inner room was the faint shout of Bai Qiucai. Bai Qiuci has been giving birth for a whole day, but it is the middle of the night, Bai Qiuci has not yet given birth to the prince, and Xiang Hongxuan's heart is a little uneasy. Suddenly, he stopped, something flashed through his mind, and he shouted, "What about Imperial Doctor Liu?" ”

Liu Li immediately trotted to Xiang Hongxuan's side, he knelt respectfully in front of Xiang Hongxuan, at this moment he was also extremely worried, because Bai Qiuci did have a problem, it stands to reason that he had prescribed a decoction for Bai Qiuci to induce labor, Bai Qiuci should have given birth to a prince a long time ago, but the prince was not born for a long time, he thought that Bai Qiuci was afraid that there was a difficult birth.

"Imperial Doctor Liu, is there anything wrong with Mrs. Bai's fetus?" Xiang Hongxuan asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing abnormal about Mrs. Bai taking the pulse before, unless Mrs. Bai has a dystocia due to an improper fetal position." Liu Li said cautiously.

Xiang Hongxuan was shocked, difficult to deliver? He looked at the inner room, and he thought that there were a few experienced women in the inner room delivering babies, even if it was a difficult birth, there should be no problem.

Suddenly there was a lot of noise in the inner room, it seemed that there was some panic in the house, and after a while, the door of the inner room opened, and the two stable women walked out of the house in a panic, they slowly came to Xiang Hongxuan, and after looking at each other, the two stable women knelt at the same time

Falling to the ground, they slammed their heads heavily on the ground, and a steady woman whispered: "Your Majesty, Madame Bai gave birth, but Madame Bai ran out of energy and fainted, which was not very good, and the two princes also lost their breath as soon as they landed." ”

Suddenly, Xiang Hongxuan's head was buzzing, and before his sadness for the loss of his son could be overflowed, his eyes were full of horror, and his voice trembled slightly, and he asked, "Wen Po, what are you talking about, two princes?" ”

The women fell to the ground again, they didn't dare to raise their heads, and the other woman replied in fear: "Your Majesty, forgive me, Madame Bai has just given birth to a pair of twin stillborns. ”

"Twins." Xiang Hongxuan muttered to himself, and suddenly he stumbled, but fortunately, Xiao Dezi immediately helped him. Xiang Hongxuan's panicked heart, which had already fallen, was slightly straightened out. He looked at the inner room, as if the tip of his nose could still smell the smell of blood in the house, he turned his head, whispered a few words in Xiao Dezi's ear, and left the Flower Dance Pavilion without saying a word.

.....................................................................................................................

Ling Xi stood in front of the window, she stared at the starry sky blankly, tonight the wind and the moon were bright, whether it was a few drinks or a few glasses, or relying on the railing to imagine the future is excellent, of course, it is more suitable to hear good news, even if this good news is mixed with sadness, it is worth looking forward to.

Aunt Yan came to Ling Xi's side quietly, her face was as expressionless as ever, as if there was nothing to be sad and happy about outside.

"The result?"

"Concubine De is a good means, the old palace man who is in the Flower Dance Pavilion said that the two stable women tossed Mrs. Bai all day, and they suffocated the prince in Mrs. Bai's stomach to death, and Mrs. Bai was also tossed so that she only had half a life left."

Ling Xi lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and said faintly: "Then let Your Majesty know, how these two old women killed his prince, and what kind of heart his gentle Concubine De has, it's time for Your Majesty to know." ”

"Queen Mother, Concubine De's luck is not ordinarily good, and she escaped again this time." Aunt Yan said helplessly.

"Why?"

Aunt Yan took a few steps closer to Ling Xi's side, and she whispered: "Queen Mother, just now Madame Bai gave birth to more than one prince, but twins, since ancient times, these twins have appeared in the world, disasters have fallen from the sky, ominous." ”

Ling Xi was taken aback, he never expected that Bai Qiuci's fetus would actually be twins, if he had known that this was the case, Xiao Xiangxiang would not have bothered so much. Ling Xi looked at the starry sky melancholy, any conspiracy and trickery became small in the face of disasters, especially now, the northern border is unstable, and the appearance of the twins has made Dongyu's hearts even more fluctuating, Ling Xi wants to announce to Hongxuan that he will not care about this.

"Aunt Yan, tomorrow you bring more supplements to the Flower Dance Pavilion and tell Imperial Doctor Liu to be sure

Take good care of Madame White's body. Ling Xi said with some guilt.

"Niangniang doesn't need it, just when the slave maid left the Flower Dance Pavilion, I saw Xiao Dezi's father-in-law go to the Flower Dance Pavilion with a group of attendants, and I heard that His Majesty ordered the death of all the palace people and Wen Po in the delivery room, including Mrs. Bai." Aunt Yan whispered.

Ling Xi's heart suddenly fell into the abyss, and Gu Han swayed hard from side to side in the abyss wrapped in sadness. Suddenly, she remembered the words of the white rosary that night, her eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, and she muttered to herself: "Rosary, autumn porcelain." ”

"Aunt Yan, don't you think Madam Bai's name is not as good as Miss Seven's?" Ling Xi asked stupidly.

Aunt Yan was stunned, she looked up at Ling Xi suddenly, as if she understood something, she said coldly: "The rosary is the jewel that is in the heart, although the pearl of the sea is covered with dust, it is also a jewel." However, autumn porcelain is the yellow porcelain, which is the best of porcelain, fragile, but also more precious than the dusty jewel. ”

"No, Aunt Yan, you don't understand, some things are doomed from the beginning. Autumn porcelain is not the yellow porcelain, but refers to the late autumn, if the harvest of the autumn is late, then only the unfruitful remains. Ling Xi said sadly.
