Shen Linglong looked at Jiang Yu in a daze: "Prime Minister. . . ”

Can she do such a heavy task?

Shen Linglong's confidence in herself doesn't seem to be enough, but Jiang Yu is full of confidence in her: "You don't want to think about whether you can do it yourself, you just need to think and do your best, you can do it, this is not done by you alone, you are just a part of helping to complete it." ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Yu pondered for a while, and said: "The road to power is very difficult, you have to become the person you want to be, you have to get the freedom you want, so in the process of going up a little bit, you still need to believe in yourself." ”

The opportunity is in front of you, whether you can be seen, whether you can have merit, it all depends on your own ability.

Shen Linglong understood the meaning of Jiang Yu's words.

If she wants to be strong enough to get justice for her mother, she can't be afraid of the darkness and bumpiness of the road ahead.

She couldn't hide behind Jiang Ying forever, waiting for her to arrange some painless errands for her.

If you want to take a step closer and truly become Jiang Yu's right-hand man, you must be seen by a higher existence and affirmed.

Because Jiang Ying can't give Shen Linglong more titles, the only people who can do this are Qi Ying and Jiang Wan.

Now she has been given a better opportunity, and now the situation in the palace is complicated, and all kinds of ghosts and monsters have to come out to make trouble after the New Year's Festival, in this case, any merit can be seen to the greatest extent.

Try your best to move forward and prove yourself, is the only way to become strong, Jiang Ying opened that door for her, whether she can seize this hard-won opportunity depends on herself.

The days fly by, the winter sunset and snow in the blink of an eye, and the New Year is about to come in the blink of an eye.

Dongshu envoys, princes and nobles are all there, if they don't see the queen mother, it seems that it is a little unreasonable, so at the feast on New Year's night, the queen mother will attend the banquet accompanied by many palace people.

The snow fell very smoothly, as if it was a sign that the coming year would be smooth, and the snow would be a good year.

When Mei Guiren went to deliver something to Jiang Wan a few months ago, his face looked a lot better, and his body seemed to be better.

But only Mei Guiren herself knew that she was about to burn out her last bit of strength and was about to wither.

Mei Guiren has never told anyone about these words, she doesn't want to bring these negative emotions to the people around her anymore, Qiu Xin has been following her all these years, and it is hard enough.

So when she saw Qiu Xin's slightly better body and face happy, Mei Guiren still swallowed all the words back, and said to her with a smile, feeling that she felt much better, and next spring, the master and servant also made an appointment to go to the imperial garden to sit together.

Because of Mei Guiren's body, it has been a long time since he went to the Imperial Garden to meditate for half a day.

"The master is going to wear red this year, and he will be happy, so he will naturally not dare to find us again." Qiu Xin went to the inner mansion to say all the good things, and then brought back a cloth with bright colors and good patterns for Mei Guiren.

At the end of the New Year's Festival, the sewing bureau was very busy, Mei Guiren's new clothes were sent, and it was estimated that there was no time to do it, so Qiu Xin thought about doing it herself, and beckoned the other two little palace maids of Henghu Palace to help her, but fortunately, everyone has embroidery skills, and it is no problem to match some decorations to the clothes.

Qiu Xin measured the size of Mei Guiren, she has rarely worn gorgeous clothes over the years, Qiu Xin wants to make the clothes more close-fitting, lest Mei Guiren is too thin, looks empty, and does not look good.

These days, Mei Guiren has become fond of basking in the sun, the winter sun is rare, she took advantage of this rare sunlight, her face is also red, and Qiu Xin cried several times with joy for this.

But Mei Guiren knows that these are all fake.

No matter how much sunshine there is in winter, it is not hot enough.

Her flushed face was more like the last burning of blood, like a candle that burns to the last moment, and there is always a brief regain of sight.

Her days are numbered.

Being able to survive in the palace for so many years, Mei Guiren is actually very satisfied.

She didn't have anything she couldn't give up and ask for.

With the New Year approaching, not only does the palace become more vibrant, but the variety of sweets served in the Imperial Dining Room every day is also abundant.

Mei Guiren actually doesn't like to eat these very much.

But thinking that he wouldn't be able to eat anything soon, he tasted all the various pastries that Qiu Xin brought back, and he ate two bites of the dishes that he didn't like to eat on weekdays.

Qiu Xin felt that God had opened her eyes, and the little master of her family was going to be reborn and alive.

The change of Mei Guiren also attracted Jiang Wan's attention, the last time she came to deliver something, Jiang Wan felt that her face was a lot better, Qiu Xin was active in the palace today, and people looked a lot more cheerful, talking and laughing, Jingyue came back and talked to Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan asked Jingyue to go to Anxuan Palace to see a few times.

Mei Guiren was a little stubborn, and refused to let Yin Zhengshan take his pulse, only saying that he would just take the few flavors of medicine that he had been taking earlier, and he had been eating it for so many years anyway.

She insisted, Jingyue didn't want to say anything, left some things that Jiang Wan gave to Mei Guiren, and left without sitting long.

Or Qiu Xin chased out, and once again thanked Concubine Jing for her kindness, and could be stained with the light of a blessed person like Concubine Jing, her head of the family will definitely be able to come to the bitter end, and the future days will gradually get better.

Talking and talking, Qiu Xin didn't control herself, and actually shed tears, it's false to say that she is not sad all these years, think about when Concubine Chun first entered the palace, she said that she had to move away if she let her master move away, and she didn't dare to say a word, at that time, Mei Guiren was still very sick.

Jingyue also felt emotional, and made a special trip to stay to comfort Qiu Xin, and talked to her for a while before returning to Meixi Palace.

After telling Jiang Wan about the matter, Jiang Wan was silent for a while.

After a while, she asked Jing Yue, "You say, why doesn't Guiren Mei want to see a doctor?" ”

Jingyue sighed: "I probably feel that the medicine I have taken for so many years is effective, and I don't want to change the medicine anymore." ”

Jiang Wan's mood is not too high, she no longer sleeps during this time, and she no longer shows her face in front of people easily, and at the New Year's banquet, she will also go with a mask, saying that her face is swollen and she is not suitable to show her face when she is about to give birth.

But the reason for this is known only to those closest to you.

After the confinement was lifted, the fusion of the soul became rapid and amazing, Song Yujiao's face has now faded by four or five points, and if you look closely, you can't tell whether this face should be Song Yujiao or Jiang Wan, and after you want to wait until you give birth, I am afraid that you will not be able to see Song Yujiao's shadow on this face.

Seeing myself coming back little by little, that feeling is still difficult to describe clearly.

But as far as Jing Yue said about the situation of Mei Guiren, Jiang Wan suddenly felt that it was quite similar to her behavior before she thought about dying.

I don't want the people around me to care too much, and I'm afraid that the people around me are too worried.

So try to make yourself look good and good, but avoid seeing a doctor.

But Mei Guiren is fundamentally different from his original state.

Jiang Wan chose to end her life by herself.

And Mei Guiren, she has no choice.

In the last days, it was a day to laugh and cry, and she probably hoped that she could leave some good memories in this world.

"She might... Time is running out. Jiang Wan said this very lightly, then took a deep breath and raised her eyes to look at Jingyue, "She has been weak all year round, and the deficit that she couldn't make up for back then can't be made up now, and it won't help to let Yin Zhengshan see it." ”

Jing Yue was stunned, thinking of Qiu Xin's happy expression, she suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart, and muttered: "The palace maid next to her is very happy during this time, if Mei Guiren suddenly goes. I don't know what it's like to be sad. ”

But birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm in the world.

Jiang Wan also lowered her eyes regretfully: "Let her say goodbye in the way she wants, I just hope to survive this winter, and wait until the buds are drawn in the spring, maybe there will be a new turnaround?" ”

But the new turnaround, where is it so good.

Winter is the longest and most difficult to get through.

Life is exhausted here, and so is Mei Guiren.

The banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve was so grand that Jiang Wanmeng came in front of her and saw the Queen Mother, who looked faint and was not in a very good mental state, and also saw Xuan Jin and others sitting in the banquet.

Jiang Ying and Qi Dao still sat opposite each other, singing and dancing during the banquet, and it was very lively.

And everywhere in the invisible court, Chang Zhong and Shen Linglong, as well as various guards and secret guards, are all engaged in a game of cat and mouse.

According to his understanding of the Imperial Palace during this time, coupled with some information about the situation told by Jiang Yu, Shen Linglong had almost understood what the situation in Shengjing and even the Imperial City was like during this time.

There are a lot of dark ghosts hidden in the palace, because Qi Dao and Jiang Yu are both going to the appointment, those forces outside the palace who are ready to move are also competing with Xicheng Yunjian and others.

Jiang Wan had been very tired during the banquet, Qi Ying was concerned about her situation, and the singing and dancing had just passed a round, so she asked Jiang Wan to go back to rest first.

Before getting up to leave, Jiang Wan glanced at Xuan Jin, and from the time she came in to the time she left, Xuan Jin cast a lot of eyes.

He seemed to notice something, but he couldn't be sure, because it was far away, Jiang Wan covered his face again, and all he could see was a pair of eyes.

But a lot of times, it's the eyes that expose too much.

On the way back to the palace, the excitement was gradually left behind, Jingyue stayed by Jiang Wan's side, and when she was about to arrive at the palace, she asked, "Will Dongshu's letter have been delivered to Pinzhu?" ”

Jiang Wan half-squinted: "Pinzhu has been abandoned, Xuan Jin has something to send, and it will be delivered directly to me." ”

The implication is to find an opportunity to leave yourself alone.

The New Year's Festival is so lively, it should be busy, and people come and go in the palace, a few more people, a few fewer people, and it will not attract attention at all.

Jiang Yu asked Shen Linglong to familiarize herself with the roads in the palace, and pay attention to the people who came in and out, just to check how long Dongshu's hand was extended, and how many people this Xuanjin son had laid out for the next letter to him.

It's a pity that this night was lively until the second half of the night, and only a few palace maids and eunuchs who mixed into the palace were found in the palace, and they couldn't become a big climate at all, so they were arrested by Shen Linglong and Changzhong on the spot, and went to Qi Ying's side to recover their lives.

Perhaps it was Sun Meiren's fate that made these Dongshu beauties feel frightened, although they also sacrificed their talents during the banquet, they didn't dare to make any more noise, and people still spared their lives.

However, Qi Dao Jiang Yu and Lu Ran left the palace with the Dongshu envoy in the middle of the night, and after parting ways, the Dongshu envoy was ambushed.

This ambush was obviously their thief shouting to catch the thief, Xuan Jin was injured, and the carnival in the next few days could not be over.

The battle outside the palace was unclear, and Xicheng and Yunjian did find some traces of the spies brought by Dongshu according to the news that the Hawkeye squad leader Wang Sheng had visited Shengjing during this time.

It's a pity that there were casualties on both sides, and they still couldn't catch it alive.

Under the cover of the grand atmosphere of the New Year, the two sides seem to have fallen into a kind of stalemate again.

As soon as the New Year passed, the Queen Mother accepted the congratulations and blessings of the Six Palaces, closed the palace door again, and fell into silence.

Qi Ying also said that he attached great importance to the assassination of Dongshu's envoys and that it must be strictly investigated.

But if you check it, it will fall into the sea, and there will be no movement except for the splash when the order was first given.

In such a solemn but festive atmosphere, the New Year's Festival still continues to be lively, with a lot of fireworks and firecrackers, and continuous rewards and meals.

Before the Lantern Festival could eat rice balls, the bad news suddenly came from Anxi Palace, and Mei Guiren died.

She didn't survive the winter.

Didn't even survive the year.

It was almost everyone's surprise, only Jiang Wan's personal expectation.

It is said that Qiu Xin watched Mei Guiren doze off under the porch by taking advantage of the brief daylight.

She thought about it for a moment, it was okay, Qiu Xin said that when she went to make tea, she also shook Mei Guiren's hand, which was not too hot, but at least it was warm.

When I came back after making tea and called someone, I couldn't wake up anymore.

Passing away in a year is not a good sign.

There is no one in the Mei Guiren clan anymore, and naturally no one cares too much about her funeral, and it coincides with the Dongshu envoy celebrating the festival in Beijing, and the news has not even spread out of the palace, Qi Ying means that after all, after being a loyal martyr, the funeral must be done according to the specifications of the concubine, but you have to wait, the body goes first, and when the New Year passes, the child in Concubine Jing's belly is full of moon, and she missed this joy, and then she will slowly make up for the funeral of Mei Guiren.

She was like living in the palace for so many years.

It blooms silently in a corner where no one sees, and then withers away where no one notices.

From beginning to end, it was quiet and small.

It's like her title.

A lonely wisp of plum blossoms blooming in the cold winter wax moon.

She has been here for a short time in this world, and has not left any traces.

Qiu Xin couldn't accept this fact, obviously looking at the people who were smiling vividly every day, and the people who obviously felt that they were about to get better, they just left this world without saying a word, and they couldn't accept it for a while.

Anxuan Palace is now like a murderous house, the two concubines who lived in it have passed away one after another, the Guo family is guilty, but what is the guilt of the Mei nobles?

Because Mei Guiren was posthumously named a concubine, the specifications of the burial were also improved, which was a relief, but unfortunately he couldn't mourn now, Qiu Xin knew that he wouldn't send it now, and when the child in Concubine Jing's belly was born, this matter was delayed again and again, and in the end it could only be stopped.

Before life, after death, there is generally no difference in quietness.

Probably to make up for the guilt, Qi Ying authorized a few palace people who had served Mei Guiren the longest time to cry for her in the Anhui Palace as a send-off, and she couldn't collide with the joy in the palace and leaked the news, so after the Yunde Palace was closed, the Anshu Palace became the third closed palace gate.

Jiang Wan thought about whether to go to Anxuan Palace to take a look, but later gave up.

Her current identity is no longer the queen, Mei Guiren has passed away, and she should be the most distant person if she is pregnant.

If Qi Ying knew that she ran to mourn Mei Guiren, she would probably be unhappy again, and it was not a deep friendship, and Mei Guiren had never spoken a few words to anyone in the palace over the years.

I feel embarrassed, but it's just embarrassing.

Mei Guiren's death was not mourned, and the joy of the New Year's Festival was still like this, like a vast place covered by snow, only the snow was seen, and the barren soil was not seen.

The Lantern Festival has quietly arrived, and it has been several days since the death of Mei Guiren, Jiang Wan only ate two or three glutinous rice balls, and the filling was sufficient, I was afraid that I would not be able to digest it if I ate too much.

Maybe it's because it's hard to calm down thinking about the events after the birth of this child.

The arrangement of the production day, Jiang Wan and Qi Ying discussed it early in the morning, but Xuan Jin did not act for a long time, which also made Jiang Wan feel a little anxious.

She is not Song Yujiao, and she doesn't know Xuan Jin, so she doesn't know what he's thinking.

But Xuan Jin is indeed a very smart person, and decisively gave up the chess piece of Pinzhu, he is very cautious and will not take risks at will.

Pinzhu almost didn't appear in front of Jiang Wan during this time, she tried to weaken her sense of existence, and seemed to instinctively sense the danger approaching, but unfortunately she had no way to resist the established fate, and could only paralyze herself at the last moment to seek a chance to live.

Because she found that Jiang Wan didn't seem to need her own medicine anymore.

The familiar princess has completely become another person, Pinzhu can't explain this change, but fear follows her like a shadow, she knows that something big is going to happen, but she can't get out of Mei Xi Palace, let alone go back to the distant Dongshu, when this secret breaks out of the shell, this foreign land is the cemetery where she is buried.

Yin Zhengshan ran to Meixi Palace three times a day during this time, afraid that there would be any recurrence after the antidote was used, but fortunately, now this body is getting stronger and stronger after containing Jiang Wan's soul, and the pulse has not lost the weak state before, and the person's complexion has become very ruddy.

Jiang Wan has always insisted on walking around, and the strength during childbirth must be there, and the problem of a large fetus definitely does not exist, but Yin Zhengshan still prepared a bunch of hanging decoctions for preparation, for fear that there would be something in case.

Seeing it, the most tense moment has come.

Inside and outside the palace, how many eyes are staring fiercely, just waiting for the arrival of this child.
