Chapter 306: Funeral (1)
Suddenly, there was another noisy and noisy sound at the door of Lingxiu Palace, and Tuoba Chen frowned dissatisfiedly: "Who is making noise in front of the palace gate?" ”
Fuqing squinted his eyes and looked in front of the palace gate for a moment, before he whispered: "Back to Your Majesty's words, it seems that Concubine De is here-"
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, I saw Aunt Ruizhi helping Concubine De to come, followed by a group of colorful figures, among which Concubine Hui was the leader, her hand was holding Linglong tightly, almost crushing Linglong's bones.
She listened to the mournful cries of the people in the courtyard, and looked at Gongsun Jingyi on the side without a trace, but Gongsun Jingyi just accompanied Ruizhi to support Concubine De from left to right, her face was full of worry, but she did not feel the slightest weakness, and she did not feel settled.
Concubine De did not have any hairpins on her sideburns, obviously she had stopped and gotten up, Rao was well maintained, and at this time she also showed a trace of old age, her steps were already a little staggering, Tuoba Chen walked in front of her and saluted, and said, "Why is the concubine here?" ”
Concubine De's eyes looked at the people in the courtyard anxiously, and asked, "What are you crying about?" What about Lin'er? What about Lin'er? What about the mourning family's Lin'er! ”
She asked questions again and again, and when she was in a hurry, she coughed violently, but Tuoba Chen remained silent, just stood in place with a calm face, and Concubine De pushed Tuoba Chen away and said: "Since the emperor doesn't tell the mourning family, the mourning family will go and see it themselves!" ”
As he spoke, he took Ruizhi's hand and went in the direction of the main hall of Lingxiu Palace. Lan Xin's eyes looked around, and she hurriedly stepped forward to support Tuoba Chen and said, "Your Majesty—"
Tuoba Chen waved her hand away, and Linglong stepped forward with an exclamation, "Your Majesty—"
Tuoba Chen looked at the people in the courtyard coldly, and suddenly sneered: "I didn't expect your news to be really well-informed, something happened in Lingxiu Palace, and you all rushed here one by one——"
Concubine Hui panicked in her heart, and just wanted to speak, she saw Gongsun Jingyi fall to the ground weakly, and said in a choked voice: "Back to Your Majesty's words, it's not that the concubines and others have received the news, but that they heard that Concubine De's people are looking for the eldest prince, so they thought about helping to find it, and they didn't want to know that Lingxiu Palace was assassinated, so they rushed over." ”
Aunt Ruizhi, who was beside Concubine De, said: "Yes, a little palace maid named Cailian came over just now, saying that the eldest prince was lost, and asked the concubine to help find it-"
Tuoba Chen frowned and did not speak.
On the other side, Concubine De had already walked to the door, the room was quiet, there was a faint smell of blood, she became more and more uneasy, and hurriedly said to Ruizhi: "Ruizhi-light-light-light-"
Rui Zhi hurriedly asked his subordinates to light the lamp, but he didn't want the scene in front of him to make everyone gasp, He Xi sat sideways next to the soft collapse, Tuoba Lin was lying on the soft collapse, covered with a brocade quilt, embroidered with a very auspicious unicorn picture, his face was extremely peaceful, as if he was asleep, He Xi seemed to whisper something, everyone listened unconsciously, only to hear her mutter: "Lin'er, why are you so stupid, you are so small, how can you deal with the bad guys?" You're a good boy—"
Her tears slipped down little by little, as long as she closed her eyes, she could see Tuoba Lin's stubborn little face, he didn't want someone to bully his mother, obviously a child, but brave like a hero, her heart was grabbed fiercely, she couldn't breathe, she touched Tuoba Lin's already cold hand, and finally couldn't help crying out loud, she bit her palm and whimpered, like a trapped beast, now she is just a poor and pathetic mother, why Lin'er, Why did he appear at that time, she was wrong, she shouldn't think very highly of herself, she felt that she could protect him, but it was obviously her who was wrong, why should she punish Lin'er?
He was still so young, and at such a young age he already understood the principles of the sages, why was he - she wanted to ask, to ask the heavens, why did she do this to herself, but her tears could not stop flowing, and the fluttering tears fell on the brocade quilt and disappeared.
Seeing this, Concubine De already knew what was happening, she staggered a few steps to the bed, only to see a cold, small body.
This child used to be coquettish under her knees, reciting poems and words, but she didn't want to see each other again, she was already separated forever, her throat gurgled, and she finally cried, and cried with her hands hanging on her chest: "What a sin—what a sin—how could this be—"
Rui Zhi hurriedly supported Concubine De, she looked at Concubine De with tears on her face, and persuaded: "Concubine, concubine, you mourn, the eldest prince has gone, you should pay attention to your body——"
However, Concubine De just threw herself on Lin'er's small body and almost fainted.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, got up, raised her hand, and slapped He Xi's cheek.
The crisp sound almost made everyone present unable to react, Lan Xin's eyes were faintly gloating, Ruyi rushed out of the crowd and protected He Xi's front.
He Xi pushed Ruyi away, knelt down in front of Concubine De and said, "Ruyi, you dodge, I didn't protect Lin'er, and the concubine hit right-"
Seeing her like this, Concubine De picked up the dragon head staff in her hand and hit He Xi, she said: "You are Lin'er's mother, and now Lin'er is lying here coldly, what's the use of you knowing your mistakes!" Will Lin'er come back to life? Mourning family - mourning family believes in you, you can take care of Lin'er before sending Lin'er back, can you do the responsibility of a mother? ”
As she spoke, another cane hit He Xi's body, this time directly on the arm, on the wound, He Xi couldn't support her body, and fell to the ground when she was crooked, but she just barely supported herself, gritted her teeth and said, "No-"
Concubine De raised the dragon head staff to fight again, Rui Zhi hurriedly knelt in front of He Xi, and cried: "Concubine, Concubine Calm your anger, the slave knows that you feel sorry for the eldest prince, but how can Concubine Xi not feel distressed, that is also the meat on the tip of her heart-Concubine Xi is pregnant now, and something big will happen if she goes on like this——"
Concubine De's face was sickly, and she said angrily: "The mourning family saw that she was negligent to Lin'er because of this child in her womb, if she had known today, the mourning family would not have sent Lin'er back, as long as the mourning family was in one day, they would not let such a thing happen to Lin'er——"
Her breath was unsteady for a while, and she said angrily: "Ruizhi, you have been with the mourning family for decades, do you want to protect her now?" ”
Rui Zhi's face was embarrassed, but after all, she was Concubine De's person, no matter how she pitied He Xi, she couldn't disobey her master, Lu Qi saw this, and hurriedly knelt down in front of her, and said in a deep voice: "Concubine Niangniang, there are assassins in the palace, even a man can't guarantee that he is thorough, not to mention Concubine Xi, a weak woman, the wound on her arm is deep to the bone, and there are also scars on her neck, and there is nothing to be done about it——"
He Xi got up and said, "Aunt Ruizhi, Imperial Doctor Lu, this matter started because of me, those people are obviously coming for me, Lin'er-Lin'er, he-I didn't protect Lin'er-"
She pulled out a silver hairpin from her hair, and cut a wound on her neck, Concubine De was so frightened that she took half a step back, He Xi endured the pain and said: "However, please also ask the concubine to spare my life, as long as I make those people pay the price, and then come to the concubine to ask for guilt, then the concubine will be killed or punished, I will not have the slightest complaint." ”
Her hands were trembling, and in an almost earnest gesture, she was just a life, there was no place worth remembering in this world for a long time, but how could she be willing.
Concubine De suddenly seemed to be dozens of years old, put away the dragon cane, and shook her head helplessly: "That's it, this life is shallow, I can't be an ancestor and grandson, I just hope that if Lin'er has a spirit in the sky, if you can still hear it, listen to the words of Grandma Taifei, don't be born in the emperor's family in the future, find an ordinary people's home, at least you can grow up healthy and healthy, Ruizhi-the mourning family is tired, help the mourning family to go back to the palace——"
After that, she didn't even dare to look at Tuoba Lin lying on the soft collapse again. When the concubines saw that Concubine De had left, they also left one after another.
Lingxiu Palace seems to have regained its tranquility all of a sudden, that kind of quietness, not quiet, but a dead silence that is almost suffocating.
There was the sound of something falling, it was the silver hairpin He Xi held in his hand.
He Xi, who had been holding on for a long time, finally fainted due to excessive blood loss. Tuoba Chen's intuitive heart became more and more annoyed, and after a few words, he also went back to the Heart Cultivation Palace. Only the devastated Ruyi and others were left.
Everyone walked out of Lingxiu Palace, bowed down and sent Concubine De away, Lan Xin said as if she had palpitations: "Good duanduan, why did there be an assassin in this palace, it's really strange, Jing noble, your Zhaohua Palace and the Luhua Palace in this palace are not far away, you can accompany this palace all the way." ”
Jing Guiren knew that she must have something to ask herself, so she leaned over obediently and said, "The concubine takes the order-"
Now everyone is in danger, there is no eldest prince, this is a big deal, and Concubine De's words are even more confirmed that the death of the eldest prince is because of the harem competition for favor, to put it bluntly, everyone is suspicious, so everyone is in danger, naturally no one notices the abnormality between Lan Xin and Gongsun Jingyi.
Then they all said goodbye one after another, Gongsun Jingyi stepped forward in time to help Lan Xin's hand, and there were continuous Janissaries searching around her, Lan Xin was afraid for a while, and turned around the Imperial Garden, there were many fewer talents, and when she was empty, Lan Xin said angrily: "What's the matter?" Didn't you say that it scared her and got better when she had fetal gas? How did you make such a big fuss? ”
A trace of annoyance flashed in Gongsun Jingyi's eyes, her original plan was to get rid of He Xi and the child in her womb first, but she didn't want to go wrong, she could only smile and say, "What is Niangniang anxious about?" Even if the eldest prince dies, it will only do more good than harm to Niangniang, right? ”
