Even for those in the know, all this came too suddenly, they didn't expect it to come so quickly, or they were already prepared in their hearts, but at the moment when the truth happened, there was still a trace of shock in their hearts.

Yuebai stumbled into the East Palace, bypassing the front yard to the Crane Garden, she saw the moment the emperor died with her own eyes, He Sheng walked out of the Qinzheng Palace, went to the bell tower and rang the bronze bell nine times, when the bell struck the first sound, Yuebai stood out of the grass, she looked at the direction of the bell tower with a dull face, and tears flowed down without knowing why.

Yuebai didn't know what was going on, but she felt a little uncomfortable, and the tragic bell rang one after another, waking up the entire palace and even the capital from sleep.

Yuebai hurriedly turned around and ran in the direction of the East Palace, she was very panicked in her heart, maybe she shouldn't have known about it from the beginning, since she did it, she must do it well, He Sheng personally rang the ancient bell, the bell was muddy and heavy, and it echoed throughout the palace one by one.

Yuebai ran faster, worried about being seen by others, so he walked the road, Yuebai was very anxious, at this moment he actually felt that the distance between the Qinzheng Palace and the East Palace was too far: hurry up, hurry up, hurry up......

The bell rang continuously, ethereal and long, Yuebai wanted to tell the princess the news as soon as possible, but she always felt that this road actually looked like this, which made Yuebai feel that it was getting longer and longer......

After finally arriving at the Crane Garden, Yuebai hurried to the dormitory to see the princess before she had time to catch her breath.

"It's the Moon White Girl." Tang Xue got up after serving Liang Huanqing and dressed neatly, and was about to go to the Qinzheng Palace when she saw Yuebai running in.

"Crown Princess!" As soon as Yuebai saw Liang Huanqing, she hurriedly wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, ran to Liang Huanqing, knelt down and said, "Princess!" The emperor is dead! ”

The nine bells are just announcing the death of the emperor, the sound of the bell is thick and turbid, and it can stir up layers of echoes, when the bell is struck, it is up to the sky to hear, even in the daytime can be heard clearly, at this time at night, under the more quiet environment, everyone is afraid that everyone can know that the emperor has died. 4

Liang Huanqing naturally knew about this matter a long time ago, but after the emperor died, her first concern was that Shen Tuchen would be discovered, after all, now the emperor is treated by him with full authority, if something happens, she will definitely search carefully when she is buried, in case Shen Tuchen reveals something, it will definitely be doomed.

"Hurry up." Liang Huanqing stretched out her hand to help Yuebai up, knowing that the little girl in front of her was still the maid beside the former eldest lady of the General's Mansion, and she had never changed, but if it weren't for this matter, she only believed Yuebai to do it, and she wouldn't have deliberately let her know so many sinister things.

Liang Huanqing knew that Yuebai must have been frightened by the battle of the emperor's death, and ran all the way, tears couldn't stop flowing down, and the thin shirt he wore in spring was soaked all of a sudden.

"I know, I'll go over now, Tang Xue will accompany me, you go change your clothes and sleep well, there is nothing for you here." Liang Huanqing said gently, the next thing is her business, she has to be logical, she must not leak the slightest bit to take over all this things that belong to her, if it is something that Mei Guifei can't handle, Liang Huanqing must do it.

Yuebai shook his head, didn't stand up according to Liang Huanqing's instructions, just opened his hands and stopped in front of Liang Huanqing, looked at Liang Huanqing stubbornly, and said, "Don't!" Yuebai wants to accompany the crown princess Niangniang! ”

For Liang Huanqing, if Yuebai is willing to accompany her, it will naturally be much more convenient, Tang Xue is still an outsider in her heart, and it is true that there is no more intimate person who has always been by Yuebai's side, but now in this situation, Liang Huanqing knows that Yuebai can't accept it for a while, Yuebai has never seen such a scene, and some recent changes are difficult for Yuebai to accept, Liang Huanqing doesn't want Yuebai to see more things.

Liang Huanqing squatted down, looked at Yuebai, and said, "It's good for you to have a good rest, I have Tang Xue by my side, you just need to rest well, and wake up obediently tomorrow morning." ”

Yuebai was so tired, hearing these words, he subconsciously wanted to rest, but he never had a way to let go, and now Yuebai's heart was in turmoil, he just wanted to follow Liang Huanqing to let go, so he kept kneeling on the ground and didn't speak, wanting to be so deadlocked, I believe that the princess will definitely allow herself to follow.

Since Yuebai can remember, he has never left Miss, and he has been like this until now, but I just don't know what's wrong, so many changes have happened out of thin air this year, which is really unexpected, Yuebai has no time to react, and he will be forced to accept all this, this is a helpless thing, no one can stop it from happening.

Tang Xue saw their tangled appearance, one by one they were stubborn and unwilling to give in, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Miss Yuebai, don't worry, the slave will follow the princess to take care of the mother, you are tired for a day, you haven't had a good rest, let Xiaomei and the others help you wash up." ”

Whether it was in the Crane Garden or in Linlang Garden before, Liang Huanqing was the big master in the park, and Yuebai was the second master, all of them knew that Liang Huanqing was very fond of this Yuebai, they grew up together, Liang Huanqing is not like other masters, she treats her subordinates with heart-to-heart friendship, not to mention this Yuebai who has always been by her side.

Tang Xue didn't dare to exonerate on both sides, so she could only be caught in the middle and didn't know what to do.

Hearing Tang Xue say this, Yuebai had nothing to say, and then looked at Liang Huanqing and said, "Then the princess must take good care of herself." ”

Liang Huanqing nodded, pursed his lips and smiled, and then said, "I will." ”

Then Liang Huanqing gave the palace maid standing outside a look, and the palace maid hurriedly picked up Yuebai and took her down to rest.

Liang Huanqing looked up at the sky, the blue was far-reaching, and he couldn't see through it at a glance, and it would be very long tonight.

"Let's go." Liang Huanqing thought about hurrying to find Qi Jingqin first, and then went together, hearing the nine death knells of Fang Cai, Liang Huanqing began to worry about Qi Jingqin's current situation.

————————————————

At this time, in the study of the East Palace, when the first bell rang, Qi Jingqin hurriedly stood up, looked in the direction of the Qinzheng Hall with a solemn face, his mind was blank, and he barely had time to react to what was happening.

Si Nanping only felt that something was wrong, and after listening carefully, he knew that this was the death knell of the royal family, nine sounds represented the death of the emperor, the last time this death knell rang, it was when Empress Mingxian died eight years ago, it was struck six times, it was the death knell that the emperor personally sounded, but he didn't expect that it had only been eight years, and the emperor used this death knell again.

"Father, the emperor's ......" Qi Jingqin felt that something was wrong in his heart, he knew that this was the death knell, but his heart suddenly seemed to be hollowed out, no one thought that the emperor would die so soon today, he had not held a canonization hall, and his status as a prince had not been done for a few days, so he died so soon?

Qi Jingqin couldn't believe it, his mind was blank, and he just stood in place for a while, thinking that at this time, everyone could only listen to the death knell in a daze, and they couldn't react.

After the nine death knells stopped, the entire palace and even the capital city still reverberated with a muddy and heavy sound, the people of the capital were familiar with the bell, so they listened carefully, and secretly counted how many times the bell rang in their hearts, when they heard that it was nine bells, they suddenly felt a desolation in their hearts, and they didn't know why, but they didn't know how to react.

Shangjing City was as silent as a dead city for a moment, and despair filled the air.

And at this time, Yi Qi pushed the door and rushed in, he also had a panicked expression, as soon as he heard the voice, he hurried to the study, knowing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was here, once the emperor died, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would inherit the unification, but they didn't expect it to be so soon.

As soon as he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qi Jingqin, after Qi Qi glanced at him, he patted his shirt, and then knelt down solemnly and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mourns!" ”

Si Nanping, who was standing aside and had not yet returned to his senses, also knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

Qi Jingqin's figure shook, his eyes were full of tears, he couldn't believe that all this had happened like this, and he hadn't waited until he was ready, but the world was impermanent, everyone told him so, the world was impermanent, but just so suddenly, Qi Jingqin suddenly felt soft under his feet, and he only felt that his body was light and fluttering, as if he was dreaming.

Listening to them talk about mourning, Qi Jingqin didn't feel a trace of sadness, and his heart was not shocked, but his body still couldn't stop staggering, and he fell into the seat.

Qi Qi and Si Nanping were frightened by His Royal Highness the Prince's appearance, Qi Jingqin has always been a person who is not sad or happy in their eyes, and now this appearance is very sad to think about.

Qi Jingqin suddenly lost the direction of his life, and his own efforts in the past were just because his mother wanted to behave in front of his father, to make his father pay attention to himself, and to let his father see how good he was, this is actually just a means for his mother to use to compete for favor.

Later, Qi Jingqin and Qi Jingyang competed, just hoping to let his father see his hard work and hard work, and wanted his father to know that he was also his excellent son.

Qi Jingqin knew that he was not as good as Qi Jingyang, and his innate conditions were a lot worse than Qi Jingyang, but when Qi Jingqin watched his father praise Qi Jingyang, he always thought in his heart how good that person would be if he were himself.

Later, he did it step by step, but as he got closer to the goal, Qi Jingqin felt more and more that he was being stripped away layer by layer, and he had no goal in his heart.

When Qi Jingqin sat on the throne of the crown prince, he was very happy at that moment, but when he thought that his father had not seen this scene with his own eyes, he felt a loss for no reason.

Qi Jingqin had been waiting for his father to wake up, and only at that moment could he feel the meaning of his journey.

But just now, the person Qi Jingqin had been working hard for passed away like this, how could this make him not uncomfortable......

Qi Jingqin was like losing three souls and six spirits, his eyes were blank, and he still hadn't accepted this result.

Si Nanping and Yi Qi stood in front, looking at him worriedly, if it was at this time, Qi Jingqin was willing to cry, but just like now, he didn't say a word, his eyes were obviously full of tears, but he stubbornly didn't let it fall, that's it, it was the most uncomfortable, and the two of them didn't dare to say anything bad to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unhappy, but it was the first time they had encountered such a situation, and they didn't know what to do.

"The crown princess." A voice suddenly appeared outside the door, as if Liang Huanqing was coming.

Si Nanping and Qi Qi looked out of the door one after another, but at this moment Qi Jingqin was sitting in the chair again, I don't know if it was because they didn't hear clearly, they didn't dare to speak, but there was always someone who could come over and persuade them.

"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inside?" Liang Huanqing hurried over here, and could only hope that he hadn't gone to the Qinzheng Palace yet.

The servant outside the door shook his head, Liang Huanqing hurriedly pushed the door in, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Si Nanping and Qi Qi standing outside the door, and the two of them made way for the princess.

Liang Huanqing's eyes have been on Qi Jingqin from beginning to end, seeing Qi Jingqin looking so distraught, Liang Huanqing's eyes were also full of tears, and he also looked at Qi Jingqin with an unbelievable expression.

Thinking that the crown princess was also very surprised in the face of this situation, maybe she didn't know what was going on.

Qi Jingqin felt that Liang Huanqing was slowly approaching, so he raised his head and looked at her, the candle flame only illuminated the left side of Qi Jingqin's face, even if it was sad and desolate, he was like a homeless child on a rainy night at this time, with fragility and helplessness in his eyes, which made people's hearts melt at a glance.

"His Royal Highness the Prince......" Liang Huanqing walked towards him slowly, then hugged him with open arms, buried his head in his chest, and said softly: "Mourning......"

As he spoke, tears flowed from Liang Huanqing's eyes, dripping on Qi Jingqin's forehead.

may have felt this tear, Qi Jingqin's tear ducts were opened like this, and the tears flowed like a broken embankment, and he also wrapped his hands around Liang Huanqing's waist and buried it in her chest and cried.

No matter how outsiders say that he is the iron-blooded prince, he is the ruthless Qi Jingqin, but no matter what, he is also a young man in his early twenties who has just left his parents, and the things he experienced in the past have indeed become his indelible experience and promoted his growth, but in the face of this great tragedy in life, Qi Jingqin only felt uncomfortable in his chest, as if his heart was hollowed out all of a sudden.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, cheer up, this Celestial Empire will depend on you......" Liang Huanqing said slowly with a hint of crying in his voice.
