Ruyue was sitting upright in front of the gold-branded dresser of the phoenix sycamore, and the maids and maids were skillfully pointing at her head.

Qin'er saluted, bent her eyebrows and smiled: "Niangniang doesn't know, the little masters of Zhongcui Palace are finally well-behaved, although they are not outstanding, but they have not made any mess in the end." With a roll of her eyes, Qin'er continued: "After all, those who stand out have already flown out of Zhongcui Palace." ”

"Yes, the period of the little princess who was born in the palace has only expired, so I selected a new show girl to enter the palace with the emperor, and these times have passed in a blink of an eye." Ruyue looked at the mirror and smiled slightly, her ruddy cheeks were like the morning glow, which was particularly sultry. "It's you, Qin'er, this palace ordered you to take over Zhongcui Palace again, I don't know if you are used to it."

"It's okay to be on the side, the slave and maid can't give up their pity for the little princess. When I thought of the handsome appearance of the little princess, my heart melted. The mother is really ruthless, so she should wait for the little princess to turn one year old, and then send the slave and maid! Qin'er's eyes warmed up because of tenderness, like a burning flame in the copper furnace of the Nine Dragons playing with pearls.

Zhiyao's Ruyue is full of warmth, and there is nothing that can make her heart sweeter than her little princess Luan'er. "Fortunately, this palace pointed you to go early in the morning, otherwise I'm afraid that even I, my mother-in-law, will not be as long as when you hugged Luan'er." The tenderness rising in her heart had already made Ruyue forget all her troubles, and she only had Luan'er's small and lovely appearance in her mind.

Pei Shuang knew that it was like Yue's mother's heart, so he presented a delicate rattle: "Niangniang, look, the gifts presented by the ministers to the little princess have been seen one by one, and those gold and jade objects are not as good as this one." ”

Ruyue held the rattle in her hand, thinking about Luan'er's happy appearance when she played with this thing, and she didn't realize that the corners of her mouth curled.

The fine friction swayed, and the rattle "dongdong" sounded, such as Yue smiled and praised: "The drum surface seems to be made of sheepskin, soft and delicate." And the handle is a warm jade that heats up, and if you want to play in winter, it will not be an ice hand. And it's still the pattern of the boy Nafu, Peishuang, or you know my mind best. ”

Pei Shuang pursed his lips and smiled happily: "It's good if Niangniang likes it, our little princess will naturally laugh when she sees Niangniang smiling." The slave is willing to make the little princess happy, and that handsome appearance looks very much like you, Miss! ”

Lowering her head, Ruyue felt that the sweetness in her heart was about to come out, so she urged: "Then be sharp, when the makeup is finished, let's go and see Luan'er together." ”

Qin'er and Pei Shuang exchanged glances, and they should be happy.

A few people were talking and laughing, and Xi'er hurriedly pushed open the door and broke in: "Niangniang, the nurse Chu Hong is here." ”

Just said this sentence, but the atmosphere of the inner bed suddenly changed. Everyone was stunned, and their eyes brushed towards the breathless nurse.

"Such as a concubine, such as a concubine, no, little princess, little princess her...... Mother, go and have a look! Chu Hong shouted in, and suddenly knelt down in front of Ruyue and cried bitterly.

"Luan'er, what's wrong with her?" Ruyue panicked, and the sweetness and joy that was full of her heart dissipated in an instant, and she only felt that her heart felt as if she had been stung by a wasp, and it hurt raw. Even so, she kept her smile a little stiffer, unwilling to believe the bad feeling.

"Little princess, she, she ......" Chu Hong cried bitterly, not forgetting to raise her eyes to pay attention to Ruyue's look, and weighing what she wanted to say back and forth in her heart, for fear that if Concubine Ru was annoyed, she would not be able to escape death.

"Can't you say clearly?" Ruyue forcibly suppressed the anger in her chest, and anxiously called Pei Shuang: "Come with me to see Luan'er." ”

Pei Shuang glanced at Chu Hong, and said in her heart that the little princess must be bad, otherwise how could the nurse come crying like this. But I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I really shouldn't have lost my sense of proportion because of panic, so I hurriedly came to help Ruyue: "Miss, don't worry, the little princess's body has always been tough, and there will be nothing wrong with thinking about it." Xu is stubborn and wants Miss to hug you. ”

Even though the words were light, Ruyue still felt like thousands of cats scratching in her heart, and her face became more and more ugly. It is said that mother and daughter are connected, and at this moment, Ruyue only felt that her legs were a little weak, but she could only hold on and sighed: "I hope so." ”

"Little princess, little princess......" The heart-rending cries of the slaves and maidservants were deafening. Far away, Ruyue heard it clearly.

For a moment, Ruyue only felt that her head was buzzing, and she couldn't respond to the overwhelming crying and mourning.

Qin'er's heart was also panicked, and she was speechless in a daze, this bad news came too suddenly, and it was overwhelming suddenly.

Everyone knows what is happening in their hearts, but no one wants to believe it, they all endure it alive, they hold on, as if they are eager for a miracle, and they are afraid that everything can no longer be changed.

Xi'er took a step forward, pushed open the hidden door, turned his back to Ruyue and whispered, "Niangniang, you ...... Mourning, little princess...... went. ”

"What did you say?" Ruyue raised an expressionless face, indifferent as frost: "What do you say happened to Luan'er in the palace?" "I thought about thousands of possibilities in my heart, such as Luan'er spitting up milk, such as crying and crying when she didn't sleep well last night, and then for example, she had a high fever and a rash......

Thousands of possibilities Ruyue has thought about, and thousands of possibilities are self-comforting words. But who would have thought of such a thing? It's just the worst and most unacceptable one - Luan'er went?!

"Little princess, she...... went. The tears that Xi'er finally held back, because of the repetition of this sentence, suddenly burst the embankment. Such pain turned into a ruthless word, and Xi'er knelt in front of Ruyue in a sad and graceful manner, and said heavily: "Please mourn like a concubine, little princess...... He died. ”

Peishuang's eyes bulged in disbelief, as if he had been struck by lightning, and his face was blue and white. She refused to believe her ears, and tried to squeeze out a smile several times, as if only this smile made it seem that Xian'er was deliberately joking. "No, how is this possible, it won't...... No, wasn't the little princess okay last night? Auntie, don't laugh, the slave and maid are panicked when they hear this. ”

"The Imperial Doctor." Ruyue's voice was very calm, and she couldn't hear a trace of emotion calmly. Pei Shuanglian's voice should be, with force on his feet, he almost flew and disappeared in front of everyone, not daring to delay at all.

"Bengong is going to see Luan'er." Ruyue bypassed the attack in front of her and walked inside.

"Niangniang......" Qin'er grabbed Ruyue's ankle, and the whole person fell to the ground, whimpering: "Niangniang, I don't want to believe it anymore, she ...... little princess too." Take care of your body and mourn. ”

The palace maids and nurses who were sleeping in the inner bed had long been crying silently, sad and afraid, all of them turned pale like dirt, curled up and kowtowed to Ruyue, but did not dare to raise their heads again.

"Don't stop the palace from seeing Luan'er." Ruyue kicked away Qin'er's hand, gently approached the little princess Luan Jing's shaker, and reached out to pick her up and hold her in her arms.

This series of actions was completed in one go, and the poor little princess lay quietly in Ruyue's arms as she usually looked at when she was asleep. Ruyue smiled slightly, no different from the past, but the soft voice was indescribably painful: "Eniang came to see you, Luan'er, it was cold last night, did you sleep well?" ”

"Niangniang, if you are sad, you can cry, hold it like this, I'm afraid that my body can't stand it." It was not easy for Xi'er to hold back her choked up and say this thoughtful sentence clearly.

Ruyue lowered her head, put her warm face on the cold little face of the little princess, and said in a daze: "Crying? Why does Hongu cry? ”

If crying can exchange Luan'er's life, crying is willing to blind your eyes. But is crying useful? Ruyue's heart fell from the sweetness and love of Fang Cai, and fell to the bottom of the cliff of the abyss, and it had already been shattered. It hurts and she can't cry if she wants to.

Qin'er can't hold back the sadness in her eyes, who wants to believe that such an unexpected thing will be true? But she touched the little princess's face, which was not only cold but also a little stiff. She cheered up and said with relief: "Niangniang, don't be too aggrieved yourself, the slave looks distressed." ”

"It's too noisy, you all go out." Ruyue was disturbed by everyone's cries, and said angrily: "It's good to have this palace to accompany Luan'er, and go out." ”

It was as if his face was covered with a layer of frost, and Xi'er couldn't see Ruyue's expression clearly. had to silently lead everyone out of the door, but only took Qin'er's hand: "There must be something strange about this matter, and it will not be peaceful if you want to come to the harem." At this time, Qin'er, you should go back to Zhongcui Palace first and keep an eye on it, so that there must be no trouble. ”

Qin'er understands Xi'er's worries, and is also afraid that the queen will take the opportunity to speak out and take away the right of Concubine Ru to rule the six palaces. Then he said solemnly with tears: "Auntie, rest assured, the slave and maid will do their best, and they will never let people take advantage of it." ”

Luan'er...... Why don't you look at Eniang? Touching the little princess's little hand, Ruyue only felt a cold breath, and it got into her heart. The body trembled involuntarily, and the more I tried to control it, the more it trembled. How could she accept such a tragic fact, why should God be so cruel, Luan'er is not yet a year old!

"Miss, Imperial Doctor Shi has arrived." Pei Shuang opened his mouth with difficulty, and tears slid down his cheeks.

Xi'er also hurriedly walked in with Imperial Doctor Shi, for fear that Ruyue would not be able to stand the stimulation, and always felt that she was taking care of her by her side, so that she could feel a little at ease.

Shi Qianmo only glanced at the little princess, and his heart cooled, as if he was in an ice cave, and he was speechless. Naturally, what made him even more distressed was the concubine who didn't cry or make trouble in front of him. The more reckless she is, the more her heart breaks, right?

Imperial Doctor Shi didn't speak, and Ruyue also stood stiffly. For a while, the dead air condensed and suffocated, and the passing that could be touched by the body was even more heart-wrenching.

Everyone thought that Ruyue was enduring the pain in her heart, and she was unwilling to admit that the little princess had left. But no one expected that Ruyue would be able to say such a shocking sentence when she opened her mouth. "Imperial Doctor Shi, Luan'er's body has always been strong, and she definitely won't leave like this all of a sudden...... Hongu wants to know the exact cause of death, so please check it carefully. ”
