On the carriage, Princess Xian's expression was calm, and there was a hint of sadness in her bright star-like eyes, which was difficult to detect without looking carefully. Meng Hui quietly looked at her, estimating that she was in a very messy mood at this time.
Concubine Liang and Princess Xian are cousins, and after getting married, they become concubines, even if the blood relationship is not close, the relationship has been very close over the years. At first glance, when I heard the news that the other party was trying to commit suicide, I was inevitably a little sad.
Concubine Liang is very good to Princess Xian and Sun Youyi, how many interests and how much true feelings there are, Meng Hui finds it difficult to say. However, the true and the false, the false and the false, over time, I am afraid that even Concubine Liang herself will not be able to distinguish between the real and the false.
"I don't know what her situation is now......" Princess Xian closed her eyes lightly and sighed silently, "I hope I can survive this experience." ”
The carriage galloped all the way, not as smooth and slow as usual, and soon reached the palace, where there were already people waiting with shoulders on their shoulders.
"Let's go." Princess Xian took Meng Hui's hand and brought her to the sedan chair together, and the waiters quickly got up from the sedan chair and hurriedly walked towards Ningxi Palace.

The two large ice sculptures exuded wisps of cool air, and the inner hall of Ningxi Palace was finally no longer suffocating, and the curtains were opened, and the palace lights outside the window reflected the lights in the hall, so that the darkness could not be hidden.
Princess Xian pulled Meng Hui to stand in the shadow of a column, and there were a group of princesses, concubines, and princesses beside her. Everyone watched the maids carrying medicine and water in and out, and they didn't dare to breathe, and they were all wondering why Concubine Liang committed suicide.
On their left hand side is a curtain made of glass beads, and inside is an inner room with a bed.
Concubine Liang was lying in the babu bed at the moment, unconscious due to excessive blood loss, and through a layer of gauze curtains, several imperial doctors were stopping the bleeding for her, checking her pulse, and discussing the method of medication with trepidation.
Behind the imperial doctor, an invisible pressure emanated from the middle-aged man in the dragon robe, who had just met the murder of his beloved daughter and saw the beloved concubine commit suicide, this high-ranking ruler was in an extremely complicated mood at the moment.
As soon as he complicates, the whole room, the whole palace is complicated. Even the queen standing beside him pursed her lips and did not speak easily.
In the dead silence of the inner room, there were suddenly a few muffled bangs, and everyone standing outside immediately had a bad premonition.
There was a muffled sound one after another, apparently someone knelt hard and kowtowed, and after the heavy voice, the imperial doctor's crying confession sounded: "Your Majesty! Queen Mother! Ministers are incompetent! ”
Meng Hui's mind was buzzing, it was the grief and shock of Sun Youyi's soul that affected her, making her, like all those who heard this, stay in place and be at a loss for a while.
The imperial doctor's almost roaring confession echoed through the inner sanctum, announcing the death of the concubine.
Meng Hui quickly suppressed Sun Youyi's reaction, and after sobering up, he turned his head to look at Sun Zhao for the first time, and saw an inexplicable ease in his expression before he had time to rein.
This ease comes and goes so quickly, it's like being dazzled.
"Mother!" A mournful voice rolled out of Sun Zhao's throat, and he seemed to use all his strength to stagger into the inner room, rushing away from the emperor and queen "regardless of the rules", and knelt in front of the bed with a bang.
At this scene, all the imperial doctors wiped their tears, although they didn't know if they were worried about their future, or if they were really infected by Sun Zhao.
Meng Hui heard Fang Qing, who was standing not far away, whimpering and crying bitterly, unable to cry. Turning her head slightly, she was unable to stand firmly on the ground and seemed to have some true feelings. The rest of the maids helped her to shed tears together, and a cry rang out outside the hall.
The red sandalwood had already shed tears on her face, and her eyes were red, and she wiped her eyes with an embroidered handkerchief. Meng Hui knew that if he didn't cry at this time, he would definitely have a reputation for being hard-hearted. She had no choice but to let Sun Youyi's soul emit grief, forced out two lines of tears, and stood under the pillar sobbing.
Not long after, the emperor with a complicated expression walked out of the inner room, without anyone looking at it, and strode out of Ningxi Palace, making it impossible to tell whether he was sad or had other thoughts.
The queen quickly dragged Sun Zhao out and told the future in a deep voice.
Meng Hui saw that Sun Zhao looked dazed and innocent, two lines of clear tears fell uncontrollably, his face was pale, and his teeth were clenched, as if he was suffering unbearable pain.
The ease he had inadvertently shown just now was obviously because Concubine Liang's death was good for him. When he reacts, he can immediately make a perfect performance, which is simply the battle spirit of the play!
Meng Hui felt that Princess Xian was holding his hand tightly, and his heart was obviously not calm. In the blink of an eye, her eyes were red, obviously really sad.
The queen also looked a little sad, but more anxious. Two people died in the harem one after another, a princess and a high-ranking concubine, no matter what the reason was, it was her dereliction of duty.
After she instructed the maids, she sent away a group of princes, princesses and concubines, and asked the clan relatives to wait in Fengyi Palace, leaving only Princess Xian and Meng Hui. "You come with me, Zhao'er, you don't have to go, stay with your mother."
Sun Zhao nodded sluggishly, and turned around sluggishly, and under the light of the lamp, he cast a black shadow like a giant.
Perhaps, the shadow of a hideous monster on the ground is more in line with Sun Zhao's true image. Meng Hui retracted his gaze while thinking, and followed the queen towards Fengyi Palace.

In the cool breeze at night, the queen asked the waiter to take a few steps back, put her left hand on Princess Xian's hand, and gently held Meng Hui with her right hand.
"After dinner today, Concubine Liang proposed that she wanted to go to Changning Palace to have a look, and I agreed." The queen's tone was sorrowful, her eyes were hazy, and she drifted far away. Unexpectedly, after she returned to Ningxi Palace, she cut her veins in the inner room. From the wrist to the arm, a deep one, you can see its determination. ”
Princess Xian bit her lip tightly, and after a while, she said, "She finally ...... I think I'm coming to my senses. ”
"Yes, if you're sober, you can't live." The queen didn't go on, and after a while, she said in a completely different cold tone, "Concubine Liang has always valued Fangqing, and she must not be able to serve without her." ”
When Meng Hui thought of the meaning behind these words, he felt a chill down his spine, it was really the queen who wanted the third watch to die, and the boss of her family, the king of Hades, would not keep anyone until the fifth watch!
It's so scary here, I really want to go back to the warm underworld......
The queen didn't speak again, Princess Xian didn't speak, and she didn't inquire about King Xian, who was locked up somewhere, and the unlucky prince seemed to have been completely forgotten by his own wife.
Coming to the brightly lit Fengyi Palace, the queen and Princess Xian had already put on appropriate expressions, Meng Hui hurriedly followed the rhythm, straightened up his small chest and walked into the main hall with them.
