Chapter 6: A River of Sorrow (1)

?

After the death of 'Yu'er', I also began to have a high fever, it has been three days in a row, several 'desire' to die, and I am talking nonsense in my dreams, calling the name of 'Yu'er', even if I wake up, the whole person is in a state of confusion, almost on the verge of collapse, or, has collapsed.

I only knew that I took the hand of 'Chun' and said to her secretly: "Sister 'Chun', let me tell you, in fact, 'Jade' he is not dead, you secretly tell Shen Qi to let him cure 'Jade', and then you take him out of the palace, this palace, it's terrible, so many eyes are staring at us, many people want to harm us, out of the palace, no one will harm him, you know!"

'Chun' looked at me with tears in his eyes, his lips moved, and he couldn't speak except for muttering "Niangniang".

I looked around and said more cautiously: "Look, they are all here to inquire about the news, we must not let them hear it, let alone let the emperor know, the emperor is ...... He didn't want me to have children, he said that when he was born, he would 'get' him to death, 'get' him to death. I shuddered and repeated those three words and hid under the covers.

"Mother, don't ...... like that"

"Sister 'Spring', I'...... I'm going to die......" I lay down on the 'bed', moaning in pain, holding her hand tightly, and said pleadingly, "If I die, you have to help me take good care of 'Jade', you promise me, you promise me well, don't cry, you know, 'Jade' is my lifeline, you must take good care of him, you know!"

'Chun' couldn't cry silently, don't turn your face to wipe her tears, Gu Yu couldn't stand it anymore, knelt down in front of me, and shouted: "Niangniang, the twelve princes are dead, he is dead!"

I jumped up and pointed at her and said: "Gu Yu, what nonsense are you talking about, how can 'Yu'er'er die'er', 'Yu'er is not dead'er', how can you say such a big rebellious thing, 'Chun', look at her, she is becoming more and more disobedient now, take her down and teach her well!"

". Gu Yu grabbed my sleeve and was full of tears, "Don't be like this, you are really a slave like this...... It's really sad......"

"Liars, you liars, I don't want to see you, all of you go out, all of you go out. "As soon as I finished accusing them, I felt dizzy and fainted.

I smelled the scent of benzoin, and I slept groggy, with no strength in my body, and I was fed 'medicine' and food at the mercy of others.

The atmosphere in Yaoguang Palace was suffocating, and there was benzoin burning in my dormitory all day and night, and they were afraid of me, afraid that I would wake up cranky and think 'chaotic', and would do something that caught them off guard.

I don't know how long it took, but when I was half asleep, I seemed to hear my mother's voice, saying something to her: "...... At the beginning, I didn't want to believe that the twelve princes had gone, but then I knew, so I took the slave maid's hand and said that His Royal Highness was alive, and asked the slave and maid to take out His Royal Highness's small clothes and toys, spread them one by one, fold them, and repeat these actions, and then later, he began not to eat, drink, or speak, but just blindly fell asleep, kept shedding tears, and the emperor had no choice, so he let people light benzoin, so that the mother fell asleep, and the slaves and maids could feed the 'medicine' and feed the ......"

In the long sigh, someone caressed my cheek with a loving and soft palm, the gentle touch, the faint fragrance, all made me feel familiar and warm, I opened my eyes and saw my mother's face full of love and compassion.

"Mother......" I was helped to sit up, held my mother's hand, looked at her old face, I threw myself into her arms, "Mother, I'm so tired, I've slept for a long time!"

My mother gently caressed my back and said softly, "Auntie, you know that you have been asleep for a long time, then you should wake up!"

"Mother, I miss you, I miss you and my father, as well as my brothers and sisters-in-law, and my sister, and ...... 'jade'!"

"My child, my poor daughter. "Mother choked up, gestures more gently," If you want to cry, you can cry out, Auntie, as the mother of the twelve princes, you can still indulge yourself, cry if you want to cry, get sick if you want to be sick, and want to seek comfort from your mother, these are okay, but as a father, as a father is not like a mother, you can vent your emotions, even the most ordinary father can't, not to mention the emperor of the Ninety-Five, Arao, do you know that a few days ago, the Ministry of Rites petitioned for the funeral of the twelve princes, and the emperor decreed that the prince would pay a gift to the prince, 10,000 gold, silver, and paper money, and so on, I'm afraid that the thirty court staff will not be able to escape!"

I was silent, and my mother continued: "The emperor has really taken great pains for you, for the twelve princes, Arao, even if you refuse to take care of your body, you must take care of your husband, the monarch of the world!"

Mother didn't say anything more, I knew that she was afraid that I wouldn't listen to her too much, so I left time for me to wake up slowly, but there are some things that I can pass if I figure it out.

I am still living in the pain of losing the 'jade', and if there is anything else, it is the hatred that kills the 'jade'.

Who is the person who poisoned 'Jade'.

I begged the emperor to help me find out the murderer, but there was no progress, and under the resentment, I expressed my resentment to Qi Heng: "Your Majesty, you said that you would protect 'Jade', but you didn't do it, 'Jade' died so inexplicably, don't you want to seek justice for him!"

Qi Heng's face was 'pale' and forbearing, as if there was something unspeakable, and I didn't want to hear it.

I even said that I would never want to see him again if I didn't find out who was behind it.

After that, when he came again, I really refused to see him, and after coming a few times, he hit a wall, and gradually, he didn't come either.

On the day of the winter solstice, the second sister-in-law and my sister came to see me, but the gentle sister-in-law did not come, but let the resolute second sister-in-law come.

Sure enough, the second sister-in-law said to me: "Instead of feeling sorry for yourself like this and indulging in the death of the twelve princes, it is better to use this opportunity to have another prince with the emperor, but how can you be so confused that you have a dislike with the emperor, if you make the emperor disgusted because of this, how do you deal with yourself!"

But when I heard it, I sneered: "Another prince, the second sister-in-law said lightly, it is not enough to die a 'jade', do you want the child I gave birth to continue to be killed, as long as the murderer is not found out for a day, and the law is not corrected for a day, my child and I will never be at peace, as an emperor, but he can't even meet such a request, why should I be attached to him anymore!"

The second sister-in-law's 'desire' stopped talking, and the sister sighed and said: "Arao, in fact, I discussed this matter with Xianggong before I came, Xianggong said, I am the daughter-in-law of the Xu family first, and then the 'daughter' of the Ji family, the same, Arao, you are our most beloved sister for us, and then the emperor's favorite concubine, so you can do whatever you want, as long as you live happily!"

I was stunned, sister, it seems that she has a dislike with her husband's family for my business, how can this be good.
