Momiji bit her lip and thought thoughtfully, "The slave understands, the slave will go and investigate." ”

Qin Se let out a "hmm" and glanced at the sky outside the half-open paper window, "These days, my body is very tired, you go to check, and take a nap in the palace." ”

"Yes."

Momiji got up respectfully, put the fan aside, and tiptoed out the door.

Two days later, when Qin Se took the initiative to ask, Momiji only talked about it.

"Xu Sangongzi should be... Got something. ”

Momiji replied hesitantly, secretly slandering herself, the eldest princess was sick, although there were signs of getting better. This third prince Xu returned to the eldest princess's mansion, and he also looked for him, and when this lady asked, she didn't know how to answer.

"Got it...?"

Qin Se's brows furrowed, and his eyebrows drooped, full of sorrow, "How did he know?" The eldest princess shouldn't talk to him... He shouldn't have known..."

"Perhaps..."

Hongye rubbed his little hands, his eyes full of anxiety, "Maybe Xu Sangongzi suddenly heard it..."

Qin Se obviously didn't believe Momiji's statement, and without thinking about it, he vetoed: "It shouldn't be... Xu Sangongzi has an indifferent temperament, how can he listen to this kind of tongue-chewing thing? ”

Momiji was stunned, his expression was a little flustered, his palms and backs were sweaty, and he was thinking about how to speak.

Qin Se was entangled for a long time, but for no reason, he had to sigh, "Maybe it's because of He Jinyan and He Gongzi... It's him, but it's a little bit likely. ”

He Jinyan and Xu Yu have always been friends, and because of Xu Yu, he also warned her, He Jinyan seems to be a good woman, and she is a good girl, but in fact, she is very insightful, and he has been seen through by him.

Qin Se mentioned He Jinyan, and Momiji hurriedly responded, "Yes, yes... Probably because of He Gongzi, the slave maid heard from the people in the eldest princess's mansion that He Gongzi often wandered the streets of Chang'an, so it was not surprising to hear something. ”

Genser groaned and nodded, "Perhaps." ”

Seeing that Qin Se was not entangled, Hongye was also a little relieved, but he couldn't help but ask curiously: "But, Niangniang, since Niangniang entered the palace because of hardship, why didn't she explain it to Xu Sangongzi?"

"Explain?"

Qin Se frowned, "How do you explain it?" I don't understand... From the very beginning, when I stepped into the eldest princess's mansion from the main palace, I couldn't understand it. ”

When she entered the eldest princess's mansion, she had the intention of using it, and from the beginning to the end, from the time that thought was born, she was doomed to be involuntarily.

"... In fact, it's not bad to tell Xu Sangongzi, so that Xu Sangongzi won't blame Niangniang, and Niangniang doesn't have to be in a dilemma. ”

Momiji cramped and hesitated to speak, mixed between the two, although he didn't empathize, he also felt worried.

I don't know why there's so much I can't do about it.

Qin Se frowned, and said with a wry smile: "What can you do if you tell him?" This palace still has to enter, and the grievances that should be washed away will not be forgotten, and if you tell him, it is just one more person to worry about, rather than this, it is better to bear it alone. Besides, there is no need to trouble him, after all, this palace has already troubled him a lot..."

Xu Yu, Xu Sangongzi, the nephew of the eldest princess, the son of the family, he should have a bright future, how could she pull him to this infernal hell again and again for her own selfishness?!

"..."

Momiji muttered, but couldn't say half a word. Half-kneeling leaning on the side of the chaise longue, his gaze gradually glazed.

If she was afraid she would do the same, wouldn't she?

Although the days in the palace are boring, they also pass very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is more than three months, and it is the season of late autumn, and the autumn wind blows the yellow dead leaves, and the sky is overwhelmed with piles of piles.

The eldest princess, who has been fighting for power all her life, was seriously ill in such a late autumn, and Qin Se and Momiji kept watch until late at night, but they still heard the news of the eldest princess's death.

"Mother, what should I do? What to do? The eldest princess is gone..."

Momiji was so anxious that he paced back and forth, thinking that it was good news that he had said that some things were getting better, and he thought that the Spring Palace would sit back and relax under the care of the eldest princess, who knows, it was a return to the light, this is a complete fall into the dust.

Qin Se was also so anxious that she frowned, five months of pregnancy had made her pregnant, and her lower abdomen was bulging, so she couldn't pace back and forth like a red leaf, leaning on the chaise longue, her eyes full of anxiety.

"You go, you go and inquire again, whether it's true or not, we can't mess with ourselves."

Hongye was holding the clothes on both sides, and he had already lost his master, and when he heard Qin Se's words, he nodded hurriedly and ran out quickly.

Qin Se looked at the back of the red leaves leaving and sighed lightly, gritted her teeth, and stood up with her hand on the chaise longitine, saying that she was only six months pregnant before edema, never thought that she was only five months old, and the previous embroidered shoes could no longer be worn, and this body became more and more tired.

The Spring Palace was silent, like a premonition before decay, the late autumn evening breeze was chilling, Qin Se moved to the door step by step, leaning on the door panel, looking up at the dark night, the black cloth covered the whole sky, and the last little bit of light was covered completely, and the crescent moon was also hidden under the dark clouds, and there was no trace of it.

"..."

The little eunuch in the palace courtyard saw Qin Se and hurriedly walked over.

Qin Se didn't look at him, so he waved his hand casually, "It's okay, it's stuffy in the house, this palace is standing here alone and blowing the wind, you don't need to worry, go busy with your own business." ”

"Huh."

When the little eunuch heard this, he left in a hurry, not daring to disturb Qin Se.

When the cold wind blew for about an hour, the hands and feet were cold, and the whole person was a little shivering, and the red leaves turned back.

Seeing Qin Se at the door from a distance, he hurriedly ran over, helped Qin Se to walk into the house, and couldn't help but blame one or two sentences, "Niang Niang is now a person with a body, how can she stand at the door and blow the wind?" And it's late autumn now, and you don't know how cold the wind is at night, what if it's freezing? ”

"Niang Niang is not alone now, you have to pay attention to everything, you see, what are your hands calm into? How can you still stand in the doorway? It's all to blame on the slaves and maids, who came back late..."

They chattered for a long time, until they sat down with Qin Se in his arms, put the hand stove in Qin Se's arms, and poured a cup of hot water with white mist.

Seeing that the red leaves finally stopped talking, Qin Se opened his mouth and asked, "How is it?" How's the inquiry? ”

Qin Se's inquiry, Momiji's face was suddenly cloudy, and his eyes were full of sadness, "It's true, the slave asked the people in the Tai Hospital and a few people who have a deeper relationship, and they all said it was true." Neither the Queen Mother nor the Queen Mother came back tonight, and the emperor suddenly left the palace and went to the Eldest Princess's Mansion. ”
