It was night, the sky in the courtyard was starry, and Xiao Xi and Li Meng in the house were saying goodbye. There was a cup of tea on the table, and in the tea was the deadly poison that Xiao Xi put down with tears. Li Meng had already changed into her favorite blue full-breasted Confucian dress, wearing the white jade left by her mother, and her rouge gouache looked particularly ruddy. As soon as the time arrived, Li Meng rubbed to the window and looked up at the full moon, but she didn't know that at this moment the sweeper was waiting for the door, she turned her head and moved to the table, picked up the tea without hesitation, closed her eyes and sent the tea down in one go, and finally raised the corners of her mouth towards Xiaoxi, and a blood instantly flowed out of her lips, and she was already weak and wanted to fall to the ground. Xiao Xi's eyes widened and she was startled, and hurriedly rushed forward to support the eldest princess's weak body, calling the princess's name, and the princess had gradually stiffened in her arms. Xiao Xi closed her eyes for the princess, took out a copper lock and put it on the princess, locking her soul that was about to dissipate.

Hearing the sound, the sweeper broke in, picked up the eldest princess and walked out of the door, Xiaoxi also followed, and the two worked together to hide the princess in one of the large buckets on the trolley, walking side by side, fortunately, they walked all the way to the palace gate and did not bump into the patrol guards. Seeing this, the palace gate guards stopped them, Xiao Xi took out the eldest princess's waist card and said: "The eldest princess has been weak during this time, and this morning she suffered a little wind chill and suddenly became in a physical condition, so she ordered the two of us to take water overnight and come back to bathe. The guards hurriedly signaled for release, and after successfully pushing the two barrels out of the palace, the stone pressed on their chests finally fell to the ground.

It didn't take long to reach the highest point by the moat, and the silence of the night and the brightness of the night sky set off the beauty of the night. The moon is very round, there are many stars, Xiao Xi looked at the sweeper, opened the lid of the empty bucket, the two of them quickly filled it with well water, and when they were busy, they closed the lid, and there was probably a stick of incense before midnight, and Xiao Xi lifted the lid of another bucket. The eldest princess's beautiful face was calm and quiet, without a trace of sadness, the copper lock shone golden under the starry sky, it has been collecting the soul of the eldest princess, and now it is sealed with the power of the stars, and by the way, it also absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, Xiao Xi kissed a copper lock, which is a final farewell to the eldest princess, this farewell will span at least two thousand years, and I don't know if we can meet again in this life.

The sweeper had been observing the celestial phenomena, and in an instant, a meteor streaked across the sky, followed by a meteor shower one after another, like fireworks crackling in the air. At this time, the bronze lock of the eldest princess has completely absorbed the soul, it trembled and wanted to break free, the sweeper immediately reached out and grabbed the copper lock, at this second, the last meteor suddenly fell from the sky, this light came to the ground, hit the sweeper's feet, at this time the sweeper also turned into a golden light and shadow all over his body, swish, the light flew back to the sky, and redrew a most brilliant meteor, and then disappeared in another distant time and space.

Xiao Xi stared at the brightest corner of the night sky, silently made a wish to send blessings to the eldest princess and the sweeper, until the whole night sky returned to tranquility, she suddenly came back to her senses, remembered the body of the eldest princess, leaned over to look, the body of the eldest princess was still intact, she closed the lid of the bucket, and silently pushed the car back to the palace gate little by little with all her strength. In fact, she also has a strong desire not to return to the palace in this life, but she can't, it is impossible for the eldest princess to disappear in the harem without sending people to search around, and she has a lot of inconveniences with a pair of corpses, so she can't bury the princess's noble body hastily at will! Besides, she still has to live in the palace for the rest of her life, because there are still very important things to do for the eldest princess, and the eldest princess herself should not know about it. Moreover, in case, if the eldest princess comes back, she must be able to find her body, and she must meet her, for eighteen years, the two of them have been like sisters, how can they not miss it! Thinking about it like this, she unconsciously arrived in front of the palace gate, and it was hard to imagine that she could not feel tired when she pushed the cart pushed by the man all the way with her petite figure. Entering the door inevitably has to go through some interrogation, rounding, Xiao Xi lied that the sweeper was old, his body was not very tough, the waterside slippery accidentally fell into the moat, the weather was dry, the night was quiet, and there was no one around who could go down to the river to rescue, and the old man had drowned in the river before he could think of a way to save people, because he was worried that the princess's body could not wait, so he transported a cart of well water back by himself. That's a fool's errand.

The eldest brother of the guards looked at each other, and one of the youngest brothers stood up and took the initiative to help Xiao Xi send two buckets of "water" to the courtyard of the eldest princess's Changmeng Palace, and the little brother also wanted to help carry it into the house, Xiao Xi hurriedly refused: "Little brother, go back, there are palace people here, how dare you work hard!" As he spoke, he stuffed two taels of silver into the little brother's hand. The little brother stared at the two buckets for a few moments, but some water oozed from the barrels, so he left with a smile without saying anything. Fortunately, due to the difficulty of the road, the water was spilled out of a bucket when it collided with each other in the bumps, Xiao Xi breathed a long sigh of relief, carried the corpse out of the big bucket, and unknowingly moved back to the Wanxiang Pavilion, placed it on the round stool by the table, and put it in a posture of falling on the table, and then quickly stepped out of the house, pretending to have just come back, and called the palace people on duty, and asked them to move the bucket to the bathhouse.

The lights in the Wanxiang Pavilion were not extinguished, Xiao Xi called the eldest princess as usual and pushed the door in. She screamed, staggered out of the house, and almost stumbled at the threshold, "Come on, come on, princess, she, she", several palace maids came out of the side hall with sleepy eyes when they heard the sound, "What's the matter, Sister Xiaoxi?" "Eldest princess, she, like," Xiao Xi said loudly and wailed. The palace maids broke into the Wanxiang Pavilion, and after seeing it, they also shouted in a panic. Soon, the news of the eldest princess taking poison and committing suicide spread throughout the palace, and the emperor who was sleeping with a beautiful woman in his arms early also rushed to hear the news, followed by the queen concubines, and even the queen mother and a group of old concubines finally came. On this night, no one in the palace could sleep peacefully.

The imperial doctor hurriedly tested the poison and determined that there was no solution to the poison, and Tingwei confirmed that it was suicide. The emperor pretended to be grief-stricken, "Oh, widowed imperial sister, why are you so stupid! The women were also so sad that they wept bitterly, but the people below were sincerely mourning. The emperor personally selected several palace maids to be buried, and ordered the personal palace maid Xiaoxi and others to keep the spirit, and held a thick funeral for the eldest princess according to the etiquette system, which is really a national grief.
