"The eldest prince, Concubine Niangniang asked you to go to Yongning Palace, saying that there are interesting and strange objects to give to you, see if you like it or not."

On a rare warm day, a palace maid saw Xie Sheng alone in the pavilion reviewing his homework and stepped forward to talk. Because Xie Sheng was the only imperial heir in the palace at that time, no one dared to fight him. The queen was also a master in the palace at that time, and she felt that the concubines were also obedient and let him walk around.

"Lady looking for me?"

"Yes, you can go with the slave and maid, if you go late, the lady lady may not give it to you."

"Alright, I'll go with you."

At a young age, Xie Sheng had the expectations of his father and the love of his mother, and he only knew that he had to learn the Four Books and Five Classics of Morality, but no one had ever told him about the cruel conspiracy in the palace.

When he was gone, the queen never saw her son again.

"Lady Niangniang."

"Sheng'er is here, let my aunt take a look, I saw you in the study room recently, and I didn't come to see my aunt."

When Concubine Shu saw Xie Sheng coming, she smiled and helped him cover his hands. Xie Sheng didn't know that the person in front of him, who was as good to him as his mother, would be the evil ghost who killed him.

"Erchen has been busy with homework recently, don't blame Erchen."

"What did Sheng'er say, it's too late for my aunt to love Sheng'er, how can she blame it."

The two sat on a hot kang with a brazier at their feet to keep warm. Xie Sheng is a child after all, and his heart is full of anticipation for novelty objects. Although Xie Sheng didn't say it on the surface, Concubine Shu had already seen it.

"Sheng'er, do you want the gift that your aunt prepared for Sheng'er?"

"Hehe, Concubine Niangniang knows her son the most."

Concubine Shu waved her hand and let her subordinates carry a cage and step forward, and the cage was covered with a thick flannel. The living creatures in the movement are not small, Xie Sheng likes animals the most, but he has never had a chance. And he didn't dare to talk to his father and mother, for fear of being said to be a plaything.

"Sheng'er, go open it and take a look."

Xie Sheng saw that there was a snow-white long-haired cat curled up in the cage, which was a rare thing. Xie Sheng looked back at Concubine Shu in surprise, "Concubine Shu Niangniang is going to give it to her son?" ”

Concubine Shu smiled, her eyes were full of love, "A few days ago, the Persian envoys came to the court, and this cat was one of the tributes, and the emperor rewarded her aunt, who knew that Sheng'er liked cats and dogs the most, and wanted to give Sheng'er but never had a chance." ”

The Persian cat was very well-behaved, and when he saw Xie Sheng standing up, he stretched his waist, and looked at him with eyes as smooth as glass. The more Xie Sheng looked at it, the more happy he felt in his heart, so he stretched out his hand and took off the hook on the cage.

"Meow."

"It's so good, it's so comfortable to touch."

The cat came out of the cage, and Xu felt cold and jumped into Xie Sheng's arms all of a sudden. Xie Sheng took the opportunity to hold it and sit back. Seeing Xie Sheng's love, Concubine Shu had a smile on her face even more, "Seeing Sheng'er like this, I like it." ”

"Is the lady really going to give it to her son?"

"Naturally, it's true, what did my aunt lie to you."

Xie Sheng hugged the cat and chatted with Concubine Shu for a while, the cat yawned, closed her eyes again, and obediently lay in Xie Sheng's arms.

"The minister will go back now, and come back another day to see Concubine Shuniang."

"Well, be careful not to fall on the snow slippery road."

"Dewdrop, go and send His Highness back to Fengyi Palace."

"Yes, mother."

After Xie Sheng left, the kindness on Concubine Shu's face disappeared, and was replaced by a gloomy and weird smile.

Xie Sheng and Dew Drop walked on the road, Xie Sheng was very happy holding the Persian cat, and he didn't notice that Dew Drop was getting closer and closer to him. But he finally felt it, "Sister Dewdrop, are you cold and close to me like this, I am about to be squeezed under the bridge by you." ”

"Your Highness forgives me, the slave just saw a piece of dirt on this cat and wanted to help it get it down."

At this time, Dew Drop suddenly grabbed the tail of the Persian cat, and the cat immediately went crazy when he could stand such a stimulus. In a panic, it grabbed Xie Sheng's face, and Xie Sheng screamed and couldn't see anything else.

"Ahh

Dewdrop's eyes were quick and pushed Xie Sheng down the cold ice river at once. Xie Sheng, who was only nine years old, fell straight to the surface of the river, smashed open the ice that had condensed in early winter, and submerged into the cold water, and there was no more life.

"Come on, Your Highness has fallen into the water!"

Seeing that there was no movement on the water, Luzhu immediately shouted loudly, attracting the nearby palace people. For a time, the news of the death of Emperor Anhe's only son, his eldest son Xie Shengxu, spread throughout the palace.

"Sheng'er, my Sheng'er!" The queen lay on Xie Sheng's corpse and cried incessantly, An He Di stood aside with a blue face, and his eyes were also red. People who got the news stood on the periphery, lamenting the tragedy.

Xie Sheng's small body was salvaged, and his exposed skin was frozen and bruised, and his original skin color could not be seen. The cat's paw marks on his face were clear, and the dew drops were no longer suspected of murder.

"Your Majesty, the cat has been caught, and His Royal Highness did accidentally fall into the glacier because he was scratched by the cat and panicked."

Emperor An He clenched his fists, is this God's punishment for killing his father and brother, so that his only child suffered misfortune.

Concubine Shu walked out and comforted the queen with a sad face, "Sister, don't be too sad, it's the concubine's body that is wrong, and the concubine body shouldn't give the cat to Sheng'er, but Sheng'er likes the concubine too much and can't bear it, so she agreed to Sheng'er." ”

"It's you, it's you who hurt my son!"

The queen who lost Xie Sheng was crazy for a while, and she actually pounced on Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu couldn't dodge and was pushed by her, and then fell into the ice and snow.

"Ouch, the concubine's stomach hurts, it hurts!"

Concubine Shu suddenly cried out that her stomach hurt, and after a while, she saw that under her, a white snow was dyed red. Everyone present was stunned, and Emperor An He realized what was going on, and immediately asked Concubine Shu to return to the palace to summon the imperial doctor.

"Lady Lady, how is she?"

"The emperor, please mourn and change, the lady concubine is pregnant, but now she has a miscarriage."

Emperor An He was like a bolt from the blue, and he lost two children in one day. He and the queen were married for three years before Xie Sheng, and in the year Xie Sheng was born, he inherited the unification. Now that Concubine Shu is also pregnant, he can finally give an explanation to the Zhou family, but she has a miscarriage.

"Is this the will of heaven, do you want to cut off the incense of the Xie family?!"

But after this year, he began to have princesses one after another, and it wasn't until three years later that he had Xie Yuan. There is also the second sister-in-law of the queen who died young.

The queen's negligence caused the concubine to have a miscarriage, and it stands to reason that she should bear the punishment. However, she lost her eldest son Xie Sheng, and the whole palace was grieving, and Emperor An He did not pursue it. But since then, there has been a clear rift between them.
