Pei Miaoqing's hand trembled slightly, the osmanthus cake, which had been in her arms for so long, had already been cold, but at this moment, it seemed that her hands were so hot that she wanted to throw it away.

But at this moment, Rong Huan faintly felt that this so-called aunt didn't want to go with her to see her mother, pouted in some disappointment, and said, "Aren't you going?" Then I'll go first. A-Niang always can't see me, so she has to be anxious. ”

Pei Miaoqing came back to her senses and immediately said, "No, you can't go." ”

Rong Huan is a child after all, and there are always times when he is willful, he is entangled with a strange woman here for a long time, and he is also very impatient, while stepping forward with his little short legs, he said: "I won't tell you, I'm going to find my aunt." ”

Seeing that the opportunity was fleeting, thinking of Concubine Ying's reprimand after hearing that she couldn't do things well, Pei Miaoqing shuddered, grabbed her arm, and her voice was a little sharp, "You have to finish eating this osmanthus cake before you can see your aunt!" ”

Only others have always followed her, where did anyone dare to force her to eat, Rong Huan was very unhappy, and said loudly: "I don't eat, you have to let me eat, I have to eat!" ”

Pei Miaoqing couldn't care so much, picked up the osmanthus cake and stuffed it into Rong Huan's mouth, but Rong Huan, the child, had never suffered this kind of grievance, and he was about to cry out when he pulled his throat, accompanied by punches and kicks, "Bad guy, bad guy, I don't want to eat, I don't want to eat!" ”

"Don't scream!" Pei Miaoqing was so anxious that her head was covered with sweat, for fear that the child would make a big fuss and attract the guards, so she didn't know what to think, so she unconsciously touched her hand and covered Rong Huan's mouth fiercely, while the other hand imprisoned Rong Huan's body with all her might.

"Don't scream! After eating, I'll let you go to see your aunt! She ordered viciously, causing Rong Huan to struggle even more intensely.

Pei Miaoqing felt that she was going crazy, she was an adult, she couldn't even get it right for a child, and the position of King Yu's wife at her fingertips seemed to be right in front of her eyes, Mu Hesheng and Ying Guifei's commanding appearance, as well as the hatred for Lan Yi, were also piled up in her heart layer by layer, in order to prevent Rong Huan from making a sound again, the strength in her hand gradually strengthened unconsciously.

Rong Huan moved vigorously at first, but after a while, she suddenly stopped moving, and the fleshy little fat hand was originally holding Pei Miaoqing's arm, and it slowly hung down.

But Pei Miaoqing was already stunned, and she was still encircled like this.

Under the gloomy sky, a bird suddenly fluttered on the dead branch next to her, and the sound of hula woke her up from her panic, until this moment, she realized that something was not quite right, and let go of her hand.

Rong Huan opened his eyes, he couldn't speak or move, and without Pei Miaoqing's support, he fell down softly.

Pei Miaoqing's brain sounded, as if there was only a blank left, her body was already uncontrollable, and even her arms trembled, and she only knew how to take out a finger and put it under Rong Huan's nose.

At that moment, she was so startled that she fell to the ground in fright.

The child is no longer breathing.

"No, no, I don't want to ......," she said, her lips closed, and she said bits and pieces that she didn't even understand, and she didn't know who to say them.

She was full of "terrible", and she didn't know what to do, but the joy of silk and bamboo on the side of the banquet had been faintly transmitted, and she knew that the longevity banquet was over.

The guards in the palace were patrolling around, but more people were needed at the banquet, and it was too remote to be here, and there were fewer people on weekdays.

She bent down, dragged Rong Huan's body, dragged her deeper into the rockery, looked down and saw Rong Huan's eyes, she also stretched out her hand and closed it gently.

After doing these things, she walked all the way, while throwing the originally prepared osmanthus cake into Zhongling Lake, where the fish would soon be divided up, leaving no trace.

When Pei Miaoqing returned to the banquet, the emperor just finished speaking, let the ministers feast and drink, and in the laughter, few people noticed that the concubine of Yuwang's Mansion had just returned, only Mu Hesheng frowned and asked, "Why did you go for so long?" ”

Pei Miaoqing lowered her head, not wanting people to see that her heart was very weak, "The concubine's stomach is a little uncomfortable today, yes, it's been a long time......"

"Your belly is expensive, what's wrong, it's better to go back to your mother as soon as possible and ask the imperial doctor to come and see." In front of so many people, Mu Hesheng certainly wouldn't be too embarrassed, so he sneered and didn't say more.

But Lan Yi was very anxious, Rong Huan didn't return to her for a long time, even the nurse and water chestnut were gone, but the children of Su Wangfu had already returned to Song Yanrong, obviously Rong Huan was alone.

She made up her mind, took advantage of the big guy's departure to sing praises and virtues, and took Ning Fu over to ask, Song Yanrong's children could already express it very clearly, saying that Sister Rong Huan ran away by herself, but they couldn't tell which direction she went, and the palace was so big, it was really hidden and hidden, it was easy to find no one, and after they giggled and laughed, they heard the music after the emperor's birthday banquet began, and they all ran back one after another.

Song Yanrong comforted: "Don't worry, there are so many people in the palace staring, nothing will happen, I think it's crazy and running away, these two of us will forget even when I'm hungry." ”

Lan Yi responded, even if he was flustered, he would not show it in front of outsiders, he only took Ning Fu to his seat, and said as he walked: "You go to the male guest to find Xiao Yanzi, let him talk to Changjue, Rong Huan, this kid doesn't know where to slip away, if it's convenient, ask him to find a few guards to find it, they must be more familiar with this place than you, and it won't be so difficult to find." ”

Ning Fu hurriedly did as she was told, and after a while, she hurried back and said, "Xiao Yanzi told His Highness, and His Highness was also a little anxious, saying that he would immediately let the guards near Qihua Palace search for him. ”

Lan Yi said "um", she always felt very uneasy, but why she was uneasy, she didn't know yet.

After a while, the princes wanted to present birthday gifts to the emperor as in previous years, seeing that time was passing, but Rong Huan had no news at all, Lan Yi was very anxious, and was just about to grit his teeth and ask the emperor to help find it, Xiao Yanzi suddenly came over and said with a solemn face: "Princess, I have found the water chestnut." ”

Lan Yi was overjoyed and asked, "Where is she, Ronghuan?" ”

Xiao Yanzi said: "The water chestnut was stopped by the palace maid of the original Weiyang Palace to say something, and with a wrong eye, she disappeared the little county lord, and when the guards found her, she had already looked for the little county lord all the way to Huayang Palace." ”

Lan Yi's heart was originally happy, but now it is sinking, she pressed her chest, tried to stabilize her mind, and said, "What about the nurse?" The nurse should follow Rong Huan, right? ”

Xiao Yanzi shook his head, "The nurse hasn't been found yet, His Royal Highness said that without further ado, he must show the emperor, even if the forbidden palace is turned upside down, he must find someone." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Changjue and Lan Yi glanced at each other, knowing that the other party had understood their thoughts, so they stood up directly, interrupted Wei Changyuan, who was giving gifts and saying compliments, and said with a heavy face: "Father, the son has something to enlighten - Rong Huan is gone." ”

The emperor was still immersed in the joy of his birthday, and he didn't understand what he meant by this for a while, "Gone?" ”

"Yes, father, Rong Huan was naughty, Erchen didn't take care of her, so that she didn't see her figure at this time, Erchen asked the surrounding guards to look for her, but found nothing, Erchen asked his father to order to search for Rong Huan immediately."

Lan Yi also got up slowly, and said very steadily: "It's not that I didn't mean to disturb my father's birthday banquet, I really haven't seen this child for a long time, and the water chestnut and the nurse didn't follow her, and the son was worried that she had bumped somewhere, so he had to beg his father to send someone to find him." ”

The emperor's favorite grandson is naturally the one in the palace of King Qi, but his favorite little granddaughter is none other than Rong Huan, he understood the words of Changjue and his wife, and hurriedly said: "Go and see, the child is not sensible, if you fall somewhere, it will not be good, send more people, I want you to find the county lord of Chengning immediately and bring it over." ”

The guards took the order and left, the number of people increased, and the chance of finding a child was very high, especially the emperor asked a few more words, Song Yanrong also asked a pair of children to think about it, the little ones tried to recall, and stammered that the last time they saw Rong Huan, it seemed that she ran in the direction of Zhongling Lake, and the adults had some bottom in their hearts.

The good birthday banquet was so noisy that they had to find someone, the ministers and their families were panicked and didn't know what to do, the emperor naturally had to maintain peace on the surface, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I was also playful when I was a child, and I always ran to the place where the queen mother and the queen mother couldn't find it, Rong Huan, this child is quite like me, and she must be hiding somewhere waiting for us to catch her." ”

Ying Guifei glanced at Pei Miaoqing, Pei Miaoqing's eyes flickered slightly, but nodded invisibly, Ying Guifei smiled and said: "No, Chang Jue and Chang Jue's daughter-in-law don't need to be anxious, maybe they will find it later." ”

But it didn't take long for the commander of the guards to come back, he hesitated, and did not say the search results in court, but whispered to Gonggong Liu, who was an old man in the palace, and when he heard the bad news, he was still nervous, but he couldn't maintain absolute peace, so he hurriedly walked to the emperor's side and whispered.

As the Emperor heard those words, his hands suddenly clenched, and he felt something buzzing in his ears, and his mind felt dizzy.

The granddaughter, who was still alive before, died suddenly, and she was found in the corner behind the rockery, her clothes were messed up, and she died a very undignified death, no matter which old man she said to her, she couldn't stand it.

But the emperor is the emperor in the end, even if such news is tantamount to a shocking thunder, in front of outsiders, he just took a deep breath, looked at the anxious Changjue couple and his wife, and whispered to Gonggong Liu: "You immediately take someone from the Internal Affairs Office to investigate and find out who the murderer is!" ”

Gonggong Liu left in response, Lan Yi couldn't wait, stepped forward, and asked, "Father, is there any news of Ronghuan?" ”

The emperor smiled hard, there was a dead person on the Halloween Festival, it was unlucky and lost the face of the heavenly family, he had to cover it, and announce it later, and now he only said: "This little Ronghuan of your family, about tired of playing, actually fell asleep behind the rockery, Zhong Aiqing continued to drink and talk, and don't stop the music over there." Changjue, come here, I'll give you a few words, and you husband and wife will go and see her. ”

Lan Yi felt that these words were too strange, as if they were not untrue, but falling asleep after playing, it was obviously the best result, she tried to convince herself that it must be like this, and she also wanted to see Rong Huan later, no matter how coquettish she was, she had to beat her twice.

Changjue has clearly realized that something has happened, and something has happened. With great trepidation, he walked to the emperor's side, and as soon as he stood still, he heard the emperor say in a deep and whispered voice, "Rong Huan is dead."

These four words almost made him stupid, and his heart was torn apart, and he didn't even believe it, and asked, "Father?" ”

"You heard me say that Rong Huan is dead, but now is not the time to be sad, the murderer has not been found, the people who entered the palace today, and so many palace maids and eunuchs, may be the murderer. These have to be carefully examined, so you can't mess up, I can't mess up, and when you take Lan Yi over later, take care of her, and don't let her make trouble. Rong Huan is already dead, if Lan Yi is so emotional that he loses the flesh and bones in his abdomen or collapses into a laughing stock for everyone, then your Gongwang Mansion will make matters worse. ”

This big remark may be the emperor's most genuine concern for Changjue for so many years, but he seems to have listened to it all, and he doesn't seem to have heard it at all, and when he spoke again, there was a little crying in his voice, "Father, how can Rong Huan die?" ”

The emperor's heart was sour, this son, no matter how he punished or reprimanded, he had never seen a single tear, but at this moment he really couldn't hold back, the handsome man with a long body and a jade body seemed to be holding his head and crying the next moment.

The emperor raised his hand and patted his son on the shoulder, at this moment, it was superfluous to say anything.

Wei Changjue stood in place for a while, finally saluted, turned around and walked towards Lan Yi step by step.

He felt that his steps were very vain, but he could still show a slight smile on his face, as if it was good if he could coax his wife for a while longer.

"Let's go, Lan Yi, I'll take you to see Rong Huan."

Lan Yi responded, she couldn't wait, walked to Wei Changjue's side, and said strangely seriously: "Rong Huan, this kid is too crazy, I must pick her ears later, let her have a long memory." ”

Chang Jue opened his mouth, but he felt that every word exceeded a thousand catties, and he couldn't say it at all.

How is he going to tell his wife that the next scene is to rip off her heart and flesh alive?

Wei Changjue took her to the apse of Qihua Palace, and Rong Huan was carried there. Walking to the door, Chang Jue suddenly stopped.

Lan Yi's heart trembled and asked, "What's wrong?" Why don't you go in? ”

As smart as her, how could she not feel the strangeness of the emperor and her husband, and knew that something must have happened to Rong Huan, but as a mother, she refused to believe it, and always felt that even if she was missing an arm and a broken leg, Prince Gong's Mansion could raise this child for a lifetime.
