Chapter 67: The Death of the Morning Palace

After Shangguan Changzhi entered the palace to greet Li Guifei, the fragrance of flowers in each palace seemed to be stronger, and it could be smelled from afar. Concubine Mu smelled the smell of these flowers, but her expression was nervous as if she was facing a great enemy, in addition to the excuse that the fetus was unstable and closed the palace, she also told the ten princes not to walk around in the palace if they were fine, and even secretly instructed the female officials and attendants around the ten princes not to let the ten princes walk around the palace.

Although the palace maid beside the Ten Princes didn't understand why Concubine Mu had such a strange decision, she also tried her best to carry out Concubine Mu's orders, and tried her best to keep the Ten Princes in the prince's house as much as possible and not let him walk around the palace.

Shangguan Qide is just an eleven-year-old boy, it is the time for fun and activity, how can he stay in the prince's place all day and not go out? So within two days, he showed a sullen look to the female official's chamberlain. He looked as cute as a boy in a painting, and his sullen appearance made the female officials and chamberlains unbearable, so they quietly let him play outside the prince's office for half an hour, and he didn't dare to let Concubine Mu know. Gradually, the time for the ten princes to play developed to an hour, and the female officials and chamberlains saw that the ten princes were no different from usual, so they relieved their hearts, and of course hid this matter from the people in the palace.

On this morning, Shangguan Qide naughtily got rid of the female officials and guards, and secretly went to the imperial garden to pick a hosta flower, intending to give it to Concubine Mu. On the way back, he accidentally bumped into a palace maid, who was wearing a rough uniform dress for the palace maid, and when she saw that she had bumped into the prince, she was so frightened that she was busy pleading with him.

The palace maid grabbed Shangguan Qide's sleeve again and again, and said tremblingly: "Your Highness forgives your sins!" Your Highness, please forgive your sins! In a panic, he also smashed a bottle of rouge in his sleeve, and the powder was stained on Shangguan Qide's clothes.

Shangguan Qide saw that she was pitiful, and he couldn't bear it, so he waved his hand and said, "Stand down, don't panic." Your Highness is fine. He didn't see the appearance of this palace maid clearly, he only felt that it seemed that the fragrance of the hosta flower smelled a lot better, and in a happy mood, he didn't blame her and let her retreat.

The Ten Princes happily brought the hosta back to the prince's office, which relieved the female officials and chamberlains who were looking for him everywhere. I thought that these ten highnesses are also children's hearts, this hosta flowers are everywhere, what do you do when you pick them? However, it seems that the fragrance of this hosta flower is indeed strong, and the ten princes are filial, so they put it on the table and ignore it.

In the evening, Shangguan Qide began to feel wrong. The whole body is hot, the body is red, and the nose is constantly runny, and the body is sometimes hot and cold, and even a little shivering. The female officials and chamberlains thought that he was infected with the wind and cold, and did not dare to be careless, so they quickly went to the palace to report to the palace, and at the same time went to the Shang Pharmacy to ask for a doctor, and the ten princes were in a hurry.

Concubine Mu panicked after listening to the report, and her heart seemed to beat sharply uncontrollably. When she hurried to the prince's office, Shangguan Qide was no longer good. The little man was foaming at the mouth, his breath seemed to be pinched tightly, he was breathing more and less in, his hands were covering his abdomen, he was rolling on the bed in pain, his forehead was a big drop of cold sweat, and his plain and delicate face became distorted.

As soon as Concubine Mu saw him like this, she immediately knew what was going on. Regardless of being pregnant, she rushed forward to hug Shangguan Qide, and shouted loudly: "De'er, the mother concubine is here, the mother concubine is here!" Then he shouted, "What about the Imperial Doctor?" Hurry up and get a doctor! After saying this, she swept the room again, and found that there was a large hosta flower on the table, which was exuding a rich fragrance. At this time, she looked even more panicked, and shouted: "Throw that flower out to me!" Throw it out! After saying that, she hugged Shangguan Qide tightly, trembling and tears raining down.

Shangguan Qide opened his sloppy eyes with difficulty, and when he saw Concubine Mu coming, the tears that he had been holding back fell. No matter what time it is, only the mother can make the child feel relaxed and vulnerable. He still covered his abdomen tightly with both hands, constantly approaching Concubine Mu, seeking comfort, as if it would make it less painful, and shouted intermittently: "Mother, I am in pain...... Mother, I'm in so much pain...... I ...... so painful", this cry gradually turned into an unconscious murmur, and his eyelids gradually closed, still saying that my mother hurts my mother, my mother hurts, I hurt......

Concubine Mu's tears wrapped her eyes, and she felt that Shangguan Qide's body gradually loosened her in the fog, and she didn't hear him cry out in pain anymore, she couldn't help but be heartbroken, and screamed sadly: "De'er! He fainted, but he didn't know what to do, but a stream of blood gushed out at his feet.

The news of the death of the tenth prince and the miscarriage of Concubine Mu soon spread throughout the ** front court. When the news reached Emperor Changtai, he was playing with a handful of Hetian white jade Ruyi, and under the shock, there was a bang, and the jade Ruyi fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, and Luo Cheng, the leader of the waiting in the Zichen Palace, quickly knelt down, and did not ask for guilt, waiting for Emperor Changtai's decision.

"Let's go to the Morning Palace." In the end, Emperor Changtai said, with sadness and regret on his old face. Losing two children at once was a big blow to the emperor. Especially when he was still looking forward to Concubine Mu's fetus and expecting him to bring good luck, why did he have a miscarriage all of a sudden? There is also the old ten, a delicate and well-behaved villain, how can you say that it is gone? When Emperor Changtai came to the Chaojun Palace, the blood stains on Concubine Mu's body had been cleaned up, only the faint smell of blood indicated the disappearance of one life, and the faint fragrance of flowers also indicated the disappearance of another life. Under the double blow of losing a child and miscarriage, Concubine Mu's heart seemed to have collapsed, her tears did not stop, her beautiful face was mournful, there was a pitiful poignancy, Emperor Changtai saw her like this, and her heartstrings seemed to be shaken, such a mournful Concubine Mu made him feel more distressed than Concubine Mu who looked resolute when she rescued her, so he could only hug her tightly, but the words of comfort could not be spoken.

"Your Majesty, De'er also went to pick hosta flowers before, saying that she was going to give them to her father......" Concubine Mu hugged Emperor Changtai tightly, as if a drowning person grabbed the last bit of support. But she didn't exhaust herself, but her tone was relaxed, but big tears flowed silently.

Such a scene reminded Emperor Changtai of Shangguan Qide's delicate and well-behaved appearance, this emperor has always been caring. Emperor Changtai's already sad heart seemed to ache a little, and it was not until this moment that he realized that he had really lost a child, and that little man would never smile at him again and call him father!

Feeling this, he and Concubine Mu together remembered the child who was not an adult, and also regretted the child who had not yet come to the world, just like ordinary couples.

Concubine Mu leaned closely against Emperor Changtai and lowered her eyelids, hiding the sorrow and resoluteness in her eyes. De'er, the mother concubine wants your father to suffer the same pain of losing a son as me, and always remember that he still has a tenth emperor! Only in this way can the mother take revenge on you, and the mother will definitely avenge you!

Concubine Mu's eyes were resolute, but there were unstoppable tears falling in her eyes.
