Concubine Ren grabbed Lingxi's neck with both hands and suddenly forced, her eyes, which should have been black and white, turned bright red due to congestion at this time, and she squeezed out a few words from her teeth, "Do you think I'll believe it?" ”

Concubine Ren's sudden force caused Lingxi to lose the source of air all of a sudden. The feeling of suffocation came, and Lingxi couldn't react except to break Renfei's hand hard, and his legs kept kicking and kicking Renfei's body.

At this time, Lingxi regretted it in her heart, she shouldn't have sent out the lotus leaves. The current Concubine Ren is a madman, and she can't be judged by ordinary people's thoughts at all!

Lingxi struggled with her right hand to reach a teacup on the table, which she wanted to knock over to make a noise. But before she could reach the teacup, the strength in her neck suddenly disappeared.

Lingxi breathed into the air in his nose, and he actually felt that the air had a spicy taste.

Lingxi clutched his neck and lowered his head and coughed violently, snot and tears flowing. She raised her eyes to look at Concubine Ren, who was standing in front of her, her eyes were still blood-red, and she didn't understand why Concubine Ren suddenly let go of her.

Concubine Ren looked at the spirit rhino who was coughing violently, raised her eyebrows and laughed wildly, "Hehe, hahahaha." If I kill you now, it will be cheaper for you. If you die at this time, the emperor will only think of your good. As for me, I will be beaten into the cold palace by him, and then die in vain. Concubine Ren held Lingxi's face with both hands, looked directly at Lingxi's eyes that were still full of tears, and said madly, "There will be no pain for the dead, and those who suffer are the living." I choose to believe in you, so I don't want to put my life on you, I will kill the man who killed my son with my own hands. Concubine Ren touched Lingxi's white and smooth cheeks, "Let's cooperate, you provide me with accurate information, and I will help you turn over at a critical time, okay?" Good no good? Good no good? ”

Concubine Ren asked a few questions in a row if it was okay, and her madness appeared.

Lingxi took Concubine Ren's hands off her face, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and then raised the corners of her lips with a smile, stood up and looked at Concubine Ren and said, "Okay, let's cooperate." Then let's compare and see, is it your miserable life that makes me relieve my hatred, or my difficult life makes you happy! ”

"Hehe, hahahahaha......" Concubine Ren looked up and laughed, her thin body trembling. Laughing and laughing, she cried again. She hugged Lingxi's hatred and cried bitterly, and her tears wet the lake-blue palace dress that Lingxi was wearing.

After crying bitterly, Concubine Ren went away.

In the direction of Concubine Ren's departure, Lingxi's heart was mixed. Concubine Ren is right, how can the dead have pain, and those who suffer are the living. But who wouldn't want to live? For the sake of power, for wealth, for love, for children, we must live strongly, and then fight, fight, harm, and be harmed......

After Concubine Ren left, Lingxi was completely sleepy. Suddenly, she shouted outside the hall, "Little Dezi! ”

Lotus leaves, Xiao Dezi, and Hanyan all rushed in and knelt at Lingxi's feet.

"Xiao Dezi, you take the key to the foot door," Lingxi said to Xiao Dezi, "Send Concubine Ren out of Yongle Palace." Remember, don't let others see it, you must send her safely outside the Yongle Palace! ”

Xiao Dezi nodded, got up and went out.

After Lingxi let the lotus leaf and the smoke rise, he fell into deep thought.

The lotus leaf came back with warm water, twisted a wet handkerchief and handed it to Lingxi to let Lingxi wipe his face.

Hanyan stood next to Lingxi, his body trembling uncontrollably. Tonight was the day she knew the most since she waited for Lingxi.

Lingxi took the wet handkerchief handed over by the lotus leaf and wiped his face clean, and after looking at the smoke, he asked with a smile, "Are you afraid of death?" ”

Hanyan's body shook again, but he shook his head firmly at Lingxi, gritted his teeth and said, "Slaves are not afraid." ”

Lingxi nodded, handed the handkerchief to the lotus leaf and said, "Don't be afraid, just tell me about your family." ”

"Mother, let's go to bed." Lotus Ye persuaded on the side.

Lingxi shook her head, where could she still sleep at this time? Looking at the darkness of the night outside the temple, Lingxi suddenly found herself afraid of the dawn, because she did not know what darkness would await her under the bright sky.

Early the next morning, Imperial Physician Shi was invited to the Lingyan Hall in the name of Lingxi's discomfort.

After examining Lingxi's pulse, Imperial Physician Shi said to Lingxi, "Niangniang, if you continue to work hard like this, I'm afraid it will be ......."

Although Doctor Shi's words were not finished, Lingxi understood the meaning of Doctor Shi's words.

After retiring from the palace in the palace, Lingxi said to Doctor Shi bluntly, "Doctor Shi, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, is it possible to keep the dragon heir in the womb of the Wancai people?" ”

Doctor Shi stroked his gray beard and groaned for a while, and replied, "Ying Concubine Niangniang, in addition to the great harm to the mother, the poison of cinnabar has a great impact on the fetus. Even if Wancai no longer takes cinnabar from now on, the poison of cinnabar will not be completely eliminated from her body, but will continue to accumulate in the fetus's body......"

"Stillbirth?" Lingxi asked.

"If cinnabar is used violently, the fetus will die." Doctor Shi continued, "But if you don't use it violently, bit by bit, the fetus will grow into a freak. This ......"

Lingxi's face was slightly pale, and he said to Doctor Shi, "This palace knows about ......."

Wancairen's birth can't be saved no matter what.

Seeing that Lingxi's face was not good, Imperial Physician Shi stood up and arched his hand to Lingxi, "Niangniang, Weichen said a few words that shouldn't be said." Now that Niangniang is in grace, why do you need to wade into that muddy water? ”

Lingxi smiled bitterly and said to Doctor Shi Qing, "Doctor Shi has been walking in the palace for many years, do you see who in this harem can be alone?" ”

Imperial Physician Shi's heart trembled, "Lao Chen understands. ”

On September 13 of the seventh year of Yong'an, Emperor Yonghe collapsed in the palace of Huicheng, which was 800 miles away from the capital.

The news was transmitted back to the capital, and Emperor Yong'an sat in the study of the Zichen Hall all night. The next day, Emperor Yong'an banned Zhu and called the whole country to mourn.

The Great Shun Dynasty had a law, the emperor died, and the people of the world held a funeral and filial piety for seven days. The military officials and the women of the imperial court were required to keep filial piety for the emperor in the palace for seven days, and after seven days, they stayed in their respective homes to continue to mourn and wear filial piety for the emperor, and only after 20 days could they remove the mourning clothes. After the death of the emperor, the people of the world should prohibit the feast for three months and the marriage for half a year, and the military officials should prohibit the feasting for half a year and marry for one year. The royal family and clan members should keep filial piety for the emperor according to the distance and proximity of relatives, ranging from nine months to twenty-two months. The princes and grandchildren of Yonghe are to be filial to the emperor for twenty-seven months, and the palace is forbidden to entertain for one year.

Although Emperor Yonghe was forced to retreat by Emperor Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an still gave Emperor Yonghe the glory he deserved after his death as the king of a country.

On September 20 of the seventh year of Yong'an, the coffin of Emperor Yonghe was transported back to the palace of the capital and placed in the Sheng'an Hall built overnight by Emperor Yong'an.

The concubines in the harem, under the will of Emperor Yong'an, were divided into three mornings, noon and evenings, and went to the Sheng'an Temple to mourn for Emperor Yong'an.

On the tenth day of October in the seventh year of Yong'an, Emperor Yonghe was buried in Zhaoling.

On October 12 of the seventh year of Yong'an, the harem finally quieted down. Although the sad atmosphere has not diminished, the concubines are relaxed in the end.

The spirit rhino was sitting in the inner hall of the spirit rhino hall, holding the spittoon and vomiting.

She was dressed in plain clothes, with her head tied in a low bun, and only two ebony hairpins on it. And Concubine Yu, who helped her stroke her back by her side, was also light.

Not only did they wear it like this, but even the palace of the Lingyan Hall was wearing no makeup, and even the candles lit at night were replaced with white wax.

When Lingxi vomited the contents of his stomach and raised himself, his face was bloodless.

Concubine Yu personally brought warm water to Lingxi and rinsed her mouth, and comforted, "Okay, okay, you can have a good rest from now on." ”

Although Lingxi was pregnant with a dragon heir, he was not exempted from the errand of going to the Sheng'an Temple to mourn Emperor Yonghe. On the contrary, because she is the head of the first house, she is more tired than those Zijieyu beauties. In the past ten days, Lingxi has lost weight again.

After Lingxi rinsed his mouth, he sat down on the low kang with the hand of the lotus leaf, and smiled at the concubine, "With such a little thing in your stomach, where can you have a good rest?" It will be at least seven months of hard work. ”

"Be content!" Concubine Yu took the teacup handed over by Hanyan and said, "I don't know how many people envy your blessing." In the temple of Sheng'an, you are side by side with Concubine Ying. ”

Although Lingxi's concubine position has not been officially canonized, it is already the same as Concubine Ying in terms of monthly rules and the configuration of palace maids. On weekdays, when I go to mourn in the Sheng'an Temple, the concubines below the rank of noble concubine will salute the Lingxi, and Concubine Ying only bows to the Lingxi, and does not dare to accept the Lingxi's greetings.

This kind of honor did not make Lingxi feel a little arrogant, but made Lingxi's heart even more uneasy. Only she knows what kind of situation she is in now, and only she knows that she is now walking on thin ice.

"What a good thing," Lingxi sneered, "Do you know how frightened I am since the emperor made that will?" Not to mention anything else, the newly appointed minions in the palace alone are enough for me to drink a pot. ”

"Okay, didn't you send it away?" Concubine Yu raised her eyes and smiled, put down the tea cup that she had eaten two bites and said, "I don't care, I want to eat here with you today." I'm hungry these days. ”

Lingxi knew that Concubine Yu was unwilling to mix these things, so she laughed and said, "You are a glutton!" ”

"A full man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, in the past month, except for you and Yi Jieyu, there is a smell of meat in the palace with a dragon heir, where can I smell it anywhere else?"

"Okay, okay!" Lingxi responded a few times in a row and said with a smile, "I'll tell the small kitchen to do it, so that you can eat enough at one time, so that you don't come to me every day to eat and drink." ”

"The people who are all concubines are still so stingy......"

On October 15 of the seventh year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an descended from the four-pin Qi beauty to the five-pin treasure forest. It's just because when Qi Meiren went to deliver pastries to Zichen Hall to Emperor Yong'an, she was wearing a light pink palace dress.

On October 17 of the seventh year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an descended to the four-grade Yan Jieyu as a beauty from the fourth-grade Yan, because she got a tender yellow flannel and a pearl flower on her head.

After two orders were issued in succession, the harem began to become uneasy. No concubine dares to wear a slightly brighter palace dress, and no concubine dares to wear a hairpin with bright colors and precious beads.

Faced with this situation, Lingxi wisely complained to Queen Zhu and no longer appeared in front of everyone.

In addition to raising the fetus in the Lingyan Hall every day, Lingxi does more things to inquire about the condition of Wancai people every day.

She was worried that something would happen to Wancairen, and she was afraid that Emperor Yong'an, who was restless at this time, would be angry. I also hope that Wancai will have an accident and end this worrying and fearful day early.

So whenever Wancai people go out of the palace to relax, Lingxi can't help but meditate viciously in her heart, if something happens, if something happens, as long as you don't stay in Yongle Palace, so as not to implicate her.

But when Wancai returned to Yongle Palace intact, Lingxi couldn't help but beg all the bodhisattvas in his heart to keep her safe, so that she could give birth to a freak in peace.

On the day of October 20 in the seventh year of Yong'an, Lingxi sat in the Lingyan Hall as usual to tease the five princes, because it was a national funeral, and the five princes were also dressed in plain colors. And because of Emperor Yong'an's recent unstable mood, Lingxi didn't dare to let the five princes laugh out loud.

The day before, Emperor Yong'an loudly reprimanded Rou Guifei in the Hehuan Palace, and ordered a palace maid beside the third princess to be killed. Just because the palace maid told the third princess a joke, which caused the third princess to laugh out loud.

Because everyone didn't dare to laugh, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more depressing. After teasing for a while, Lingxi asked Xia Qing to carry the five princes back to the side hall.

Xiao Dezi came in from outside the hall and said to Lingxi, "Niangniang, Wancai people have gone out of the palace to relax again." ”

Lingxi was bored in her heart, so she frowned and said, "The entire harem is cautious, but she has this interest every once in a while, and she will go out if she wants to." ”

Xiao Dezi didn't dare to speak, and went down again after a blessing.

Lotus Ye saw that Lingxi was in a bad mood, so he said to Lingxi, "Niangniang, Qiaozhuzi's appetite has been much better in the past two days, I drank a bowl of fine rice porridge in the morning, and ate half a plate of stir-fried vegetables." ”

"Oh? Does that recognize people? Lingxi hurriedly asked.

Since Qiaozhu woke up from being knocked unconscious, he has become like a young child, and he can no longer remember the people and events of the past. However, Qiaozhu remembered that Lingxi and Lotus Leaf were good to her, so she would only listen to Lingxi and Lotus Leaf when she was naughty.

"Niangniang, Imperial Doctor Shi said that Qiaozhu's injury should be treated slowly......," Lotus Ye comforted.

"To cure or not to cure," Lingxi said slowly and quietly, "It's also good like this, at least you won't be sad and sad, and you won't be tired......"

At lunchtime, Xiao Renzi came back to report that Wancai stayed at Concubine Xin in Anding Palace to eat.

The silver chopsticks in Lingxi's hand fell to the ground all of a sudden, and his heart was beating. She was no longer in the mood to eat, and said to Xiao Renzi, "Go and explore ...... again"

Sure enough, at noon, Xiao Wuzi came to report that news came from the Anding Palace, Wancai suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain, and Emperor Yong'an and Empress Zhu had already gone.
