Chapter 440: Death
The siege of King Rui's Mansion was besieged for a month.
Emperor Xu also needed Ming Ye to fight the Japanese in the south, and after sending troops to surround the Rui Wang's Mansion, he did not take further action, but did not allow people in the palace to enter and exit, and only allowed one or two servants to go out to buy daily necessities.
Wei Qingqing went to Shou'an Hall early every day, and waited with Mrs. Rui and Mrs. Rui to bring back the news to Mama Wei, who was pretending to be a servant to go out to buy.
Mama Wei would go out to buy every day, and then wait for an opportunity to contact the secret agents scattered outside the palace and get the latest news from them in the south.
On this day, Mama Wei returned to Shou'an Hall, and Wei Qingqing greeted her with a big belly, "How is it?" What's the news from the prince's side? ”
Mama Wei carefully took out a note from her underwear and solemnly handed it to Wei Qingqing, "Princess, this is the news I just got from the secret agents of the palace today!" ”
Wei Qingqing took the note and immediately couldn't wait to unfold it, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the news written on it clearly, "Everything is the same, the prince is still fighting the enemy in Tongcheng, and our army still has the upper hand!" ”
After she finished speaking, she handed the note in her hand to Concubine Rui, but Concubine Rui didn't take the note, she only stepped forward and grabbed her, "You, you're about to give birth, don't worry about this!" When the sky falls, you and I will hold it up for you! ”
Wei Qingqing is now nine months pregnant, and she will give birth in half a month at most, so everything must be done carefully.
Wei Qingqing smiled and widened Concubine Rui's heart, "Mother don't worry, I am supported by Bai Qi every day and walk in the yard for half an hour, my body is strong, and the birth will be smooth!" ”
"You're right, everything will go smoothly when you give birth." Concubine Rui said and urged Wei Qingqing to go back to the house to rest, "Okay, the news from outside has been delivered today, and if there is any news, it will be tomorrow, so you can go back to the house and rest first!" The closer you get to the delivery period, the more you can't be sloppy, you know? ”
Wei Qingqing didn't want the two elders to worry, so she obediently answered "yes", and then left Shou'an Hall with the help of Bai Qi.
She had just left Shou'an Hall, and before she returned to her small courtyard, a seven or eight-year-old boy ran up to her, "Princess, there is a guard outside the gate who said he wanted to see you." ”
"Guards?" Wei Qingqing frowned puzzled, and asked, "Did he say why he wanted to see me?" ”
The little guy shook his head, and told Wei Qingqing about the guard's original words, "He only said that he had something important to say that he knew with the princess, and he also said that it was a matter of life and death, so the princess must go to see him!" ”
Wei Qingqing pondered for a moment and asked, "Did he say where to meet?" ”
The little servant replied crisply: "He said that the princess, you just need to go to the back of the gate and say a few words to him through the door." ”
Talking through the door doesn't make people gossip, and there is no danger.
She could have gone and met the guard for a while, and heard what he had to tell her about life and death!
After Wei Qingqing made up her mind, she asked Bai Qi to help her all the way to the outer courtyard, and soon came to the closed gate.
She motioned for the servant to step forward and open the door to find the guard.
The little guy was not old but very clever, and before Wei Qingqing's words fell, he ran to the door with an arrow, gently opened the door a crack, and whispered to the guards guarding outside: "My lord, our princess is here!" ”
"Please take a step closer and speak." A deliberately muffled voice soon came from outside the door.
The voice sounded a little familiar, but because it was deliberately suppressed, Wei Qingqing couldn't hear it very really, and he couldn't remember whose voice it was for a while.
She only hesitated for a moment before slowly walking to the door, and asked in a deep voice through the door, "Who is standing outside the door?" ”
"Aqing, it's me."
The man outside the door only said four words, and Wei Qingqing instantly guessed his identity.
It's Zhao Qiye.
"What are you doing here?" Wei Qingqing asked coldly.
"I'll take you away," Zhao Qiye said softly, as if he was afraid that Wei Qingqing would not believe it, and added in a somewhat eager tone, "As long as you want to leave this palace, I have a way to take you away." ”
"This is my home, why should I leave?" Wei Qingqing asked Zhao Qiye unceremoniously, with an obvious hint of sarcasm in her tone, "I'm not like some people, as long as I want to leave, I can leave others behind desperately!" ”
Wei Qingqing's sarcasm made Zhao Qiye pause, and only after a moment did he say in a painful tone: "Aqing, I have a hard time......"
"I don't care what you're worried about, let's go!" Wei Qingqing said in a cold tone and ordered Zhao Qiye to expel the guest, "You and I have no relationship with each other for a long time, no matter what situation I am in, it has nothing to do with you." ”
"Aqing, you can only wait for death if you stay! Don't be stupid, come with me! Zhao Qiye vaguely heard footsteps when he said this, and realized that Wei Qingqing had already raised his feet and left, and immediately shouted at her regardless of it: "Ming Ye is dead, do you still expect him to come back and turn things around and save you from danger?" ”
"He's dead! Die in the south and die in the belly of a fish! Now only I can save you! ”
"Aqing, come with me! Shall we start over? ”
Zhao Qiye's words made Wei Qingqing pause, then turned around and hurriedly turned back to the door, and asked Zhao Qiye loudly, "What did you just say?" You say Ye is dead?? ”
"Yes, Ming Ye is dead." Zhao Qiye deliberately accentuated his tone and repeated the news of Ming Ye's death.
Wei Qingqing instinctively refused to believe Zhao Qiye, thinking that he was lying to her, "Impossible!" You're lying! We only got the news in the morning, the prince is obviously fighting the enemy in Tongcheng! ”
Zhao Qiye spoke slowly, and asked Wei Qingqing word by word, "Are you so sure that the news you got is the real news?" ”
"Even if the news you get is true, are you so sure that the two princesses in your palace will tell you the true news, this pregnant woman who is pregnant with Rokjia and will give birth at any time? Aren't they afraid that you won't be able to bear the bad news after learning of Ming Ye's death? ”
Every word Zhao Qiye said clearly fell into Wei Qingqing's ears, making her heart gradually panick......
Could it be that the two elders really hid the truth from her?
She panicked and stumbled under her feet!
If it weren't for Bai Qi holding her tightly, she would have fallen to the ground unsteadily!
Although Bai Qi supported Wei Qingqing and helped Wei Qingqing stabilize her figure, she saw the blood on Wei Qingqing's face fade quickly, and she was suddenly very worried in her heart, "Princess, don't panic, all this is just Zhao Qiye's words, we can't be gullible!" ”
