Chu Ling stumbled, only to feel that her consciousness was a little dazed for a moment.

Cheng Mo heard what Concubine Xian said clearly, and he was also shocked.

"Mother, you ······ Is that true? Cheng Mo, like Chu Ling on the side, was a little incredulous.

After all, Chu Yue was the person next to her mother, how could she suddenly die?

Moreover, why Chu Yue died, and whether it was related to his mother's coma, all of this made him feel a little frightened.

Then he asked, "What happened?" ”

Concubine Xian's expression was faint, but there was no sadness in her eyes, but there was a trace of indifference, and she said: "She died for the palace, and those people came for the palace." ”

Cheng Mo immediately stood up when he heard this, "What did you say, mother?" ”

Someone came at his mother? Who is it?

Concubine Xian glanced up at Cheng Mo, and then said, "Yes, someone wants to do something to this palace." It was Chu Yue who led away the group of people and gave the palace a breath-holding incense, but the palace had no breath, so people couldn't find it, so it was preserved. ”

Cheng Mo seemed to be relieved when he heard this, and nodded: "It's okay if the mother concubine is fine, but Chu Yue's side, Erchen still needs to be investigated, although it is to lure away the thief, but it is not certain that he will lose his life." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Ling on the side.

Chu Ling only felt weak at the moment, and looked at Concubine Xian's mother and son in a daze, as if she couldn't hear what the two were talking about, and her mind was full of Concubine Fang Cai saying that her sister was dead.

How so? Sister, she doesn't know martial arts, why do you do such a stupid thing, thinking about luring away the thief.

She suddenly remembered that when she first met her sister, she smiled at her and asked her if she would like to go back with her.

At that time, she was just an orphan beggar begging on the street, and she had no food and clothes all day long. Seeing such a person say that he would take herself back, she was full of surprise and gratitude.

Later, her sister took her to Qi Mansion, and the two became maids in Qi Mansion.

My sister serves her husband on weekdays, and she learns martial arts from the master in the house.

Later, she learned that the Qi Mansion asked her to learn martial arts in order to protect His Royal Highness in the future.

But she couldn't have imagined that her sister would die so without warning.

Cheng Mo knew that Chu Ling was uncomfortable at this time, so he said to Chu Ling: "Mother concubine, I am here, you can go back to the other courtyard first." ”

Chu Ling heard the Second Highness's order in a trance, and after saluting the Second Highness in a trance, she left without looking back.

Seeing that Chu Ling was gone, Cheng Mo turned his head to look at Concubine Xian, "Mother, is Chu Yue really dead?" ”

He was really a little strange, if he just went to lure away the killer, how could the concubine tell him with such certainty that Chu Yue was dead.

Concubine Xian seemed to know that Cheng Mo would ask like this, so she said: "Chu Yue doesn't know martial arts, the killers sent by the other party are all killers, such a girl, if she goes to lure those people away, how far can she run, if she is caught by those people, how can she survive?" ”

Cheng Mo thought about it carefully when he heard this, and felt that what the mother concubine said was reasonable, so he comforted: "Mother doesn't need to be too sad, Chu Yue has served you for a long time, and now she is going to protect your safety, and she is willing to think about it." Now that Chu Ling is still there, Erchen will send someone to search for Chu Yue's bones tomorrow, and if he can find it, he will let Chu Ling bury her sister well. ”

Concubine Xian nodded slightly, her eyes suddenly became a little dim, and she looked at Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo was a little puzzled when he saw his mother looking at him like this, so he asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Concubine Xian shook her head, sighed, and asked, "Mo'er, if you have a choice, are you still willing to be a prince?" ”

Cheng Mo didn't understand the meaning of Concubine Xian's words, his eyebrows moved, and he said, "Didn't the concubine say that there are some things that you can't choose?" ”

Concubine Xian was stunned when she heard this, and then smiled, "Yes and no." Sometimes you can choose, but sometimes it's the people around you who try their best to make you not have a choice. ”

Cheng Mo's brows finally furrowed, "What about the concubine?" Is the concubine the former or the latter? ”

Concubine Xian was silent.

In the past, she felt that everything was destined by God. is destined to have no fate, and it is also destined to be involuntary in this life.

It is not until today that I know where there are so many bodies in this world who are involuntarily bound by the people around them.

"At the beginning, the old man never thought of letting the Qi family marry the Li Guogong Mansion."

"The lord planned to send you to the palace early in the morning."

"Ling'er, who was only a child at that time, was forced to practice martial arts in the mansion, in order to wait for Niangniang to have an imperial heir in the future, so that she could protect her."

"The so-called Son of Destiny, that is also arranged by the Qi family. Although it is true, that person is not the Second Highness. ”

"The Qi family has already planned everything, but Niangniang never knew about it."

In the end of all this, only she was a fool and was kept in the dark. also made his son carry a lot, but for the sake of the mother who had always only used them as pawns.

She still remembers that on the eve of entering the palace, her father told her that the Qi family's honor and disgrace are tied to her, and from now on, she must not make mistakes.

At that time, her father also said that entering the palace is her best destination now.

It's ridiculous that she still takes it seriously.

"Mother?" Cheng Mo looked at his mother concubine in a daze, and couldn't help but remind.

Concubine Xian came back from her thoughts and looked at Cheng Mo quietly, "Mo'er, it was the concubine who was wrong in the past. This throne is not your goal in this life, and if you don't want it, then you don't want it. ”

Cheng Mo was stunned, "Mother, ······ you"

Concubine Xian smiled and reached out to stroke Chengmo's forehead, "From now on, you can do whatever you want." ”

When Cheng Mo heard this, there was a hint of joy in his expression, "Really? ”

Concubine Xian smiled and nodded, "Seriously." ”

Seeing that Concubine Xian really agreed, the joy in Cheng Mo's heart was suddenly indescribable. Does the concubine mean that he can ask his father to marry him and Lu Guanlan?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile, and immediately said: "Then the mother concubine will return to the palace with her sons tonight." ”

In the dormitory of Yunxi Palace, there was a sound of falling and hitting the ground from time to time.

As soon as Yun Li entered the door with ginseng soup, she saw the two palace people who were driven out of the dormitory by Yun Concubine.

When the two palace people exited the door, they were covering their faces, their eyes were slightly red, and they looked like they had just been reprimanded and beaten.

When the two saw Yun Li, they knew that Yun Li was the powerful palace maid by Yun Concubine's side, so they hurriedly bowed.

Yun Li nodded and asked, "Why did you displease your mother again?" ”

The two palace maids had tears in their eyes, and they heard one of the palace maids say: "Sister Yunli, it's not the slaves and maids who make the mother unhappy, it's really ······ Niangniang has been a little too grumpy lately. ”

Yun Li glanced at the crack in the door of the dormitory, and said: "Recently, Your Majesty often does not come to Yunxi Palace, and it is natural for Niangniang to be unhappy. ”

The two palace maids naturally didn't dare to say anything, so they had to nod their heads and say yes.

Yun Li then motioned for the two to retreat.

As soon as I stepped into the dormitory, I saw that the ground was full of tea cups smashed by Yun Concubine.

Yun Li silently lowered her head and brought the ginseng soup to Yun Concubine, "Niangniang, it's been cold recently, so I still need to make up for my body." ”

Yun Concubine glanced at Yun Li coldly and said, "You said that except for you in this palace, everyone in this palace is like a fool." ”

Yun Li lowered her eyes, "All the people in this palace are lowly slaves and maids, why should Niangniang expect these people who can only serve people to become smarter, and don't lose their bodies because of these people." ”

Yun Concubine was silent when she heard this, took the ginseng soup, but suddenly remembered something, and said, "These days, there really hasn't been any movement in that slut's stomach?" ”

Yun Li shook her head, "The slave maid has gone to Jinhua Palace to inquire, but there is no movement." Even Concubine Li is also very anxious. ”

"Concubine Li?" Yun Concubine sneered.

That day, the emperor of the autumn hunt had allowed Concubine Li's promotion, thinking that Lidong would be able to be the concubine's concubine, and he was very happy, but the emperor suddenly changed his mind again, and made a decree the day before yesterday to postpone the day of promotion.

As for how long it will be delayed, the emperor didn't say, and no one dared to ask.

But in her opinion, it is estimated that this matter has to be delayed, after all, she is busy now, but she is crowned with the king's ceremony.

But if this matter drags on any longer, it will be difficult to protect the position of this concubine, and Concubine Li will not be able to get it in her life.

And that slut, the good days are not long in coming.

Yun Li saw that Yun Concubine was thoughtful, so she opened her mouth and reminded: "Niangniang, let's use ginseng soup first, otherwise it will be cold." ”

Yun Concubine suddenly smiled and raised her eyes to look at Yun Li, "You go to Jinhua Palace for this palace." ”

Yun Li's eyes flashed slightly, and she said, "Niangniang, this is?" ”

"It's cold, so I have to send some ginseng soup to the concubine to replenish her body."

When Concubine Yun sent ginseng soup to Jinhua Palace, Concubine Li happened to be there.

Seeing Yun Li, the big palace maid beside Concubine Yun, Concubine Li couldn't help but snort coldly, "I didn't think that when Sister Concubine Yun would be so concerned about our concubine." ”

Yun Li bent down and saluted, "Concubine Yun Niangniang also felt that she was getting colder and colder recently, so she thought about sending some ginseng soup to Concubine Niangniang, but I didn't know that Concubine Li Niangniang was also there, otherwise I would have asked the slave to prepare more." ”

Concubine Li sneered, "Sister Yun thinks that there will be a lack of these things in the palace?" As he spoke, he glanced at Ling Chan on the side.

Seeing this, Ling Chan gestured to Ling Yu on the side.

Ling Yu hurriedly stepped forward to take the food box in Yun Li's hand, and was about to carry the food box to Ling Chan, but his hand suddenly loosened, and the food box fell to the ground, and the ginseng soup inside was about to spill out.

Looking at the ginseng soup that was spilled all over the ground, the corners of Concubine Li's mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile.

Seeing that Ling Yu covered her mouth as if she was panicked, she immediately looked at Ling Chan: "Shu Concubine Niangniang forgives her sins, the slave is really damned, her hand suddenly lost her strength somehow, and it was in vain for Concubine Yun's thoughts." ”

Yun Li looked at it coldly, but she lowered her eyes slightly and said nothing.

Ling Chan didn't mean to blame Ling Yu at all, she just looked at Yun Li, "What does Miss Yun Li think?" ”

When Yun Li heard this, she raised her head and bowed slightly, "Even if the slave and maid beside the concubine are careless, it's nothing, the slave and maid will go back and forth." ”

After saying that, he saluted Concubine Li and the concubine, and then exited the palace gate.

I heard Concubine Li snort softly, "It's really material to be a slave." ”
