All the way to Xu Qing'er's dormitory, He Xi stood outside the vermilion wooden door, and faintly heard the crying of a woman inside, lingering and sad, overwhelmed with sadness, listening to the voice seemed to be a pothos, something really happened.

He Xi's heart sank, and he and Chou'er glanced at each other, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes, He Xi slammed his hands hard, and pushed open the carved wooden door that was two people high, and the wooden door made a squeaky sound, as if it was a sigh.

The indoor light was dim, presumably because the doors and windows were closed, He Xi's eyes gradually adapted to the light in the room, and he saw Xu Qing'er sitting on the ground, and the green pothos on the side was kneeling on the ground and holding Xu Qing'er and crying. While crying, he said: "Niangniang, why are you so stupid, the matter in Shu has not yet been determined, you want to do stupid things, if you have a case, how can you let the slave and maid explain to the old lady." ”

The green pothos was crying uncontrollably, Xu Qing'er was lying in her arms with a pale face, there was a white silk scattered on the ground on the side, and the cups on the table were also scattered, a mess.

She stepped forward quickly, leaned down, and reached out to touch Xu Qing'er's pulse, fortunately, it was still beating, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the green pothos Xu was also frightened at this time, and when she saw He Xi, she said in a trembling voice: "Mrs. Xi, please save our mother, our mother is still young, and there is still a little prince in her womb who has not been born." ”

He Xi said in a deep voice: "Luluo, you calm down, your mother is fine, come, help her to the chair." Luluo hurriedly stopped crying, nodded, obeyed He Xi's order, helped He Xi to the chair on the side, and reached out to help her breathe on Xu Qing'er's chest.

"Let's go and call a doctor over, it's safe, don't have to move the fetal gas." When Lu Luo heard He Xi say this, she was a little hesitant, her feet seemed to have taken root, motionless, but Xu Qing'er, who had always been a little weak, seemed to have eased up a little strength and said: "Sister He Xi - I know my body myself, it's okay, Lu Luo, you go down, I want to talk to Sister He Xi alone." ”

"All you have to do now is get some rest." He Xi frowned, as if she didn't agree with it, but as soon as these words came out, she heard Xu Qing'er's low cry: "Sister He Xi, is it strange that Qing'er didn't do what you did?" ”

Xu Qing'er gently pulled He Xi's sleeve and said softly, "Sister He Xi, can you talk to Qing'er?" Qing'er really doesn't know, she doesn't know what to do. ”

At this time, Xu Qing'er still looked like a noble concubine, obviously a little sister next door begging for candy, she couldn't cry herself, He Xi was afraid that she would cry like this, and she had a fetal gas, so she comforted: "Okay, if there is anything, I will help you to the soft collapse first, and then you can tell me." ”

Xu Qing'er nodded, and when the green pothos and ugly er retreated, there were only Xu Qing'er and He Xi left in the hall.

He Xi carefully helped her cover the quilt, and then sighed and said: "Your father's matter, now that the matter is over, I am afraid that there is no room for turnaround, and the best result now is to save his life." ”

Hearing her talk about her father, a strange look appeared on Xu Qing'er's face, she couldn't tell whether she was resentful or guilty, He Xi frowned and looked at her, she didn't have any anxious look on her face, as if everything was expected by her.

Xu Qing'er said after a while: "I didn't do what my sister said, but my sister is disappointed?" ”

Disappointed? Why the disappointment?

Xu Qing'er's tone also changed a little, not as pleading as before, nor as sad as before, but it was calm, even with a hint of mockery in it, He Xi frowned slightly by such a tone, but was silent.

Xu Qing'er didn't seem to want to get any answers from He Xi, maybe it was really like what she said before, and she just wanted to talk to someone.

"Sister, do you know what it means for my father, for me, and even for the child in my womb? It means that my father went from being a powerful Shangshu to a criminal minister, and he couldn't turn over for the rest of his life, which means that without the support of my family, I have to be like Zhao Ruxue, like a fish on a chopping board. The child in my womb can be bullied and looked down upon at will, maybe the eldest prince will be a head taller than him. Xu Qing'er said word by word, and with every word, the smile on her face was a little less, and it gradually became like a lake, frozen.

"Did Concubine Niangniang bring me here to tell me this?" He Xi said in a deep voice.

Xu Qing'er squeezed the thin jacket in her hand hard, she looked at He Xi, and suddenly smiled: "I knew that Sister He Xi Bingxue was smart, and I couldn't hide anything from my sister, but my sister still came today, didn't she?" ”

He Xi stared at Xu Qing'er's eyes, her heart was desolate, that kind of feeling was indescribable, she suddenly didn't want to stay here any longer, she got up, made a thoughtful salute to Xu Qing'er, and said coldly: "It was He Xi who trespassed, the mother was resting, and the concubine retired first." ”

As soon as she got up, she heard the eunuch outside singing loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived, and the queen has arrived—"

The voice was sharp as if it was about to cut through the sky above the Ice Spring Palace, Xu Qing'er got up, looked at the cup on the desk, slowly closed her eyes, took out a swarthy pill from her sleeve, and swallowed it.

He Xi stared at everything in front of her with a frown, Xu Qing'er walked to her side, her eyes were slightly red, and a hand was affectionately wrapped around He Xi's arm, she leaned in the direction of Ling Xi, and said softly: "Sister He Xi, Qing'er is sorry for you, Qing'er can only do this." ”

The door creaked and was pushed open, and at the same time, He Xi only felt that she was pushed by a force, and a scream sounded in her ears, and before she had time to look, she saw a bright yellow figure, running towards her.

At the same time, He Xi was knocked away by a great force, and her center of gravity, which was already unstable, tilted her body and fell down.

Next to him was the hard pear blossom nanmu table, He Xi only felt a sharp pain in the corner of his forehead, his ears were buzzing, and his eyes were also black for a while, as if something warm crossed his eyes, as if a layer of blood mist was covered in front of his eyes.

The voices of the people in the ears were noisy and mixed together, there were women's cries and screams, men's roars, and palace people coming and going.

He Xi wanted to stand up with his body, but he found that he was lightheaded, and before he could stand up, his whole body was weak and he sat down again.

She turned her head sideways, only to see a lot of people around Xu Qing'er, Tuoba Chen was roaring something, but she couldn't hear it clearly, faintly she seemed to be able to see blood stains on the ground, she rubbed her eyes, wiped away the blood mist in front of her, yes, there was a pool of dark red blood on the ground, Xu Qing'er was crying, He Xi's fingers were tightly pinched into the palm of her hand, wanting to recall her reason.

She saw a skirt embroidered with a phoenix tail with red gold thread in front of her, and then she was pulled up, and several grandmothers roughly pulled He Xi aside, and one of them kicked He Xi hard at the knee.

He Xi knelt down.

The ugly child was also pressed by people, unable to move, she struggled hard, and shouted loudly: "Queen Mother, you can't treat our little master, she has a leg disease, you want her life like this, Queen Mother, the slave begs you, if you want to beat, you can beat the slave and the maid." ”

Lan Ruo smiled coldly and said, "Leg disease? Your little lord is golden, or the prince of our calendar, this palace tells you that if the child in Concubine Xu Shu's womb has three long and two short today, you don't want to escape. ”

He Xi was kneeling on the ground, staring at Xu Qing'er's direction with a pair of eyes, and at this time she was snuggling in Tuoba Chen's arms with a pale face. Tuoba Chen carefully picked her up. He didn't care about the blood staining his dragon robe.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Wei has arrived." Fuqing returned outside the hall.

"Come on in." Tuoba Chen's tone was eager, he held Xu Qing'er's hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, I won't let our children have trouble." ”

Xu Qing'er obviously had tears in her eyes, but she bit her lip and nodded at Tuoba Chen with a pale face, looking pitiful and heart-wrenching.

Tuoba Chen accompanied him in the inner room, and the queen sat on the chair and looked at He Xi who was kneeling down, and said neatly: "Say, did Mrs. Xi do this ruthlessly because she hated the child in Concubine Xu's womb?" ”

"The concubine was wronged, and the concubine just came to visit Concubine Xu Shu today, not with the intention of harming her." He Xi spoke softly, her voice was a little light, she really didn't have any strength.

"Queen Mother, she said panic, if you don't have any intentions for our mother, why do you want to break us all up?" At this time, it was the green pothos who spoke, and there was still a trace of panic in her eyes.

He Xi's heart turned a thousand times, and finally connected all the clues.

The little palace maids who broke in without going through the etiquette, the empty Bingquan Palace, and even the little eunuchs guarding the door were not there, just so that they could come in without hindrance.

Xu Qing'er committed suicide by hanging from the beam, but there was no trace of being strangled by white silk on her neck. The previous piles, one by one, were like a dense giant net, binding He Xi in it, tightening it little by little, leaving no gaps.
