Chapter 449: Face to face
The silence of Qingning Palace was silent, and all the palace people slowed down and lightened their movements, for fear of disturbing the rest of the people inside.
Seeing the palace maid behind him close the door, Xie Fuyao lifted the curtain and walked in.
Because there is no window, the room is a little dim, and the smell of herbs around is particularly strong, and it seems that the news that the queen is sick outside is true.
"The concubine greets the queen!" Xie Fuyao bowed to the figure not far away through the layers of curtains.
"Flatten. The queen's voice was soft and weak, and her breathing was even a little heavy.
"The queen mother is so sick, why don't you ask the imperial doctor. Xie Fuyao looked at the emaciated figure, and a trace of pity suddenly flashed in his heart.
Since the death of the eldest prince, the queen must have been in pain, she is the biological mother of the eldest prince, and the pain she has naturally suffered is heavier than herself.
"Bengong is dead, isn't it just what you want, and you have been looking forward to the position of queen for a long time, haven't you?"
There was no emotion in the words of Jin Xi, and it was as if it was about to float away at any time.
"In the heart of the queen, the concubine is such a person. Xie Fuyao frowned, and the conjecture in her heart was gradually confirmed, which made her a little disappointed.
"If not, why did you adopt the second prince in a hurry as soon as you went to Xuan'er. ”
When talking about the eldest prince, Jin Xi's voice paused obviously, and it was difficult to hide the pain in his words.
"Concubine Jing gave birth to a princess, and now the only prince in the harem is in your palace, and the queen of this palace has long been dead in name. ”
So Na Jinxi didn't want to see the imperial doctor, she didn't want to tell others about her illness, she didn't want others to see her jokes about being the queen.
"If Niangniang is willing, the second prince can also teach Niangniang to raise. Xie Fu opened his mouth and said lightly.
"Concubine Ying, you know that this palace is unwilling, why do you have to ask this, as soon as I see that child, this palace thinks of Shen'er, he is so young, so cute......"
Inside the curtain, Na Jinxi lay on the bed and held a yellow swaddling cloth, which was used when the eldest prince was born.
Although he died at the time, he didn't care about anything when he saw the child lying in swaddling clothes.
Since the queen was sick, she had been holding the swaddling clothes, and the things that the eldest prince had used over the years were all placed by her side.
"The concubines also like the eldest prince, and I am just as heartbroken when the eldest prince dies. ”
Xie Fu shook his fingers slightly, and his memory seemed to have opened a gap, and he returned to that night, the pool of liquid.
"What's the use of saying so much, Shen'er is already dead......" Na Jinxi couldn't hide the grief in his heart, and a line of tears slowly flowed.
"Let's go, Concubine Ying, you don't have to come to Qingning Palace in the future. ”
This palace will not fight with you anymore, if you want this posterior position, you can take it.
"The concubine still has something to ask, and she is not happy if she doesn't ask clearly. Xie Fuyao stood still and did not move.
After a long time, a heavy sigh came from the curtain, "Say it." ”
"For so many years, my mother has been guarding against me. Xie Fu pursed his thin lips and listened to his rapidly accelerating heartbeat.
"What do you mean by this, how can this palace ever prevent you? Obviously, you have turned your back on this palace, and now you still want to ask the master for sin?"
That Jinxi's emotions were a little excited, Xie Fuyao said that she would not seek the position of queen again, but now she broke her promise, but she still had to question herself.
"Dare to ask Niangniang, there is an infertile musk hidden in the pillow core you gave me, isn't it intentional by Niangniang?"
Xie Fu lowered his eyes and stared at the ground tightly, as if he wanted to stare at the Han jade carved brick for a crack.
"What did you say, what pillow, what musk?" said Jinxi's heart was shocked, and he suddenly remembered what happened three years ago.
When I was disheartened because of the murder, my mother came to comfort me in person, and brought two pillows, saying that she was giving herself one for Xie Fuyao, so she would send it out with peace of mind.
"Niangniang doesn't know?" Xie Fu frowned slightly, raised his head, and looked at the unreal figure in front of him.
The curtain was suddenly opened, revealing a pale face, "Concubine Ying, this is true." ”
"If the concubine wants to harm the mother, the place to go at this moment is not Qingning Palace, but Yong'an Palace. Xie Fu shook his head and said with a smile.
"If it weren't for my maidservant who accidentally discovered it, I'm afraid my concubine would never know this secret in her life. ”
"How could it be...... How could it be...... How so. Na Jinxi's eyes were full of self-reproach, and he clutched his chest and lay on the bed.
Because of the excessive emotional fluctuations, Na Jinxi coughed violently, bringing out a little blood.
"Master......" Xingyu outside the door rushed in desperately when she heard the movement inside, "Concubine Ying, are you trying to murder the queen?"
"Get out!" Before Xie Fuyao could speak, the solemn and dignified voice came from his ears.
"Master?" Xingyu's eyes were full of confusion and doubt.
"This palace will let you out, and no one is allowed to come in without an order from this palace. ”
It was rare for Jinxi to be so aggressive, Xingyu didn't dare to disobey, and bowed her head and retreated.
"Queen Mother, are you alright? Xie Fuyao took two steps forward and held the crumbling body of Jin Xi.
"Hahaha...... This palace only knows today that all this is my retribution, I can't have children for you, so God also took away my children, I really deserve it...... Well deserved!"
Na Jinxi pushed Xie Fuyao away, and there was pain in his eyes.
Xie Fuyao looked at the crazy appearance of Jin Xi, and felt a little unbearable in his heart, her reaction now should not be pretending, if so......
"The musk on the pillow is not put by the mother. Xie Fuyao said the conjecture in his heart.
"So far, what does it make if it is put in the palace or not, I personally sent it to you, you should hate me. ”
The corners of his mouth curled self-deprecatingly, and there was despair in his eyes.
In the past three years, Xie Fuyao confided in herself more than once, but the result was that she caused her tragedy, and she didn't want to harm anyone, but she still became a murderer.
Xie Fuyao frowned, who could act without knowing that Jin Xi and still be trusted by her.
Thinking of what happened in those days, Xie Fuyao suddenly understood.
Yes, she was afraid that having a child would threaten Na Jinxi's status, so she used Na Jinxi's hand to prevent herself from getting pregnant, so as to ensure the glory of the British Duchess.
"Concubine Ying, let's go, this palace has no face to see you again......" There was a look of amazement in the dark eyes.
"Since it's not the queen's fault, the mother doesn't have to blame herself too much, it's good that things are clear now. ”
Xie Fuyao looked at Na Jinxi's current appearance, and all his hatred had already disappeared with the wind.
