However, Xiang Ye was too busy, and before Min'er walked to the Qingming Pavilion, the palace people who went to pass the word had already gone back and forth, saying that the emperor was discussing state affairs with several ministers, and if the queen had to go at this moment, I don't know how the emperor would arrange it.

Min'er knew that her current state was not good, if she met the ministers in the Qingming Pavilion and let them see what clues, it would be difficult to explain later, so she turned back halfway and ordered Qingya to send someone to watch the Begonia Palace, and she went back to the Shangyang Palace first.

Qingya went to arrange the affairs of Haitang Palace, Wang Jieyu and the eldest prince died at the same time, if it weren't for the unknown hidden secrets behind it, even the queen might not be able to bear such a big responsibility, before explaining to the emperor, you can't let the palace spread rumors first, and the news of the death of the mother and son must be temporarily blocked.

When Qingya came back, someone had already buried the mother and son lying under the table, and they told Qingya that the eldest prince had a scar on the back of his neck, as if he had been slammed, and then covered his mouth and nose and suffocated to death.

In the Begonia Palace, only Xiangwei was crying, and the other palace people were driven together, and they were just pale and frightened.

"Xiangwei, if you have anything to say, have you mentioned it to others? I don't want to hold you responsible, but this matter needs to be treated carefully, don't worry, Niangniang and I will not embarrass you. Qingya took Xiangwei to no one and said solemnly, "But you have to be honest with me. ”

Xiangwei cried: "Mama, I know there will be this day, sooner or later there will be this day......"

In the Qingming Pavilion, even though the late autumn breeze was cold, Min'er still didn't care about the emperor's usual advice, and was sitting alone in the water pavilion, the autumn wind came by the water, and the cold chill went straight to the body. In front of her eyes, the scene that can't be waved away, how much hatred she has for this world can make the Wang family so ruthless? No, she's not ruthless, she's desperate for this world.

"Mother." Qingya came back, knelt down quietly behind Min'er, she could feel the wind was very cold, but she didn't dare to persuade her, she could only say, "The things in the Begonia Palace have been arranged for the time being, just wait for the emperor and you to show you." ”

"How did Hong'er die?"

"The slave didn't ask, she just cared about arranging for the guards in the palace." Qingya lied, she really couldn't say something like that, anyway, the queen would know sooner or later, maybe it would be better for the emperor to be by her side at that time.

"Go ahead, I want to be alone." Min'er didn't ask.

Qingya looked at the surrounding environment, didn't dare to make a sound, silently retreated, and asked people to move the stove, but she really didn't dare to enter the water pavilion to disturb the queen, and she didn't know if it worked, so she ordered the little palace maid to go to the door to see if the emperor was coming, and she was guarding here.

The sun is getting stronger and stronger, it should be a sunny autumn day, but today's sun can't shine in, the water pavilion is connected to the palace, it is so deserted, Qingya stands closer to the stove, and feels cold, not to mention the queen who sits still in the wind. She turned to fetch a trench coat, and just as the emperor was coming from outside the door, he must have received the news and rushed at once.

Xiang Ye took the windbreaker, quietly walked onto the water pavilion, and draped it on Min'er's body, but she rarely felt the emperor's breath, and only said: "Qingya, I'm not cold." Then he said, "Qingya, do you know what I am most sad about, it is that I have ever had such a thought, I think that Hong'er may leave this world, it will be the best result for him to the emperor, when did I start to despise human life so much, I don't even let go of a child." Even if I just think about it, I can't forgive myself. ”

"But you just thought about it, what kind of sin is it to think about it?" The emperor spoke, Min'er suddenly turned around, only to find that Xiang Ye was standing behind him, he leaned down even more, and even hugged himself directly with a windbreaker, and sighed, "When will you be able to listen to me?" Such a cold wind. ”

Mina said, "I just want to calm down. ”

Xiang Ye bowed: "Didn't I blame you?" ”

He carried Min'er back to the inner hall, wrapped her cold body in a quilt, and then knelt down on one knee to take off Min'er's shoes, which made her tremble, but could not escape the emperor's hand. When Xiang Ye raised his head again, Min'er was already in tears, and said to him helplessly: "Your Majesty, Hong'er is dead, and the Wang family has taken Hong'er away." ”

The frightened person was very emotionally unstable, the emperor didn't say anything, just stayed by her side, but the silence for too long made Qingya very uneasy, and she hoped that the emperor and queen could explain this matter clearly. After thinking about it, she took the initiative to come and explain the cause of the death of the eldest prince, in her opinion, this is undoubtedly Wang Jieyu's ruthlessness, not the queen's fault, let alone the emperor's fault.

At this moment, Min'er had calmed down, and when she heard Qingya say these words, she was only silent. Xiang Ye carefully wiped away her tears and asked, "Are you better?" ”

"My heart is not so messy." Min'er nodded, grabbing the emperor's hand, and soon became the emperor's hand wrapped tightly around her, his palm always so warm.

"Hong'er is not my child?" The emperor asked.

Min'er nodded: "Does the emperor want to know anything specific?" ”

Xiang Ye's heart sank, after all, what he wanted to turn over was a confused account he had had: "Say it." ”

The same words, Min'er repeated them to the emperor, Xiang Ye's brows became tighter and tighter, there was such a person in the team of personal soldiers around him at the beginning, and he didn't even notice it, thinking that the person who escaped had already been killed.

"At that time, I thought it was a deserter, and several soldiers who had intimate relations with Guo Gaoquan were also convicted and finally executed." Although Xiang Ye was angry, he could still calmly analyze for Min'er, "No matter whether the Wang family is talking about those people or not, after she became my woman and gave birth to my prince, even if she gave them great courage, she didn't dare to say what she said at the beginning." Han Meiren's matter, you have made me understand a lot of reality, even if Wang's behavior is worse, I am calm. The ministers and the people of the world don't care if I'm decent or not, they only care if they can benefit from everything. Naturally, I don't want this to happen around me again, shame is shame after all. ”

Min'er just sat alone on the water pavilion, not to mention that it was as simple as calmness, her eyes were hot, but she tried to say in a calm tone; "Your Majesty, can I say something, you will definitely be unhappy when you hear it, but I still want to say it......"

Xiang Ye acquiesced, turned around and took a cup of tea, and handed it to Min'er: "Take a sip of tea first, your lips are dry." ”

Min'er held the warm tea and took a sip, Xiang Ye took it and put it on the table, and when she turned her back to Min'er, she heard her say: "The emperor and the Wang family are ruthless and can be easily put down, but what if there is love?" Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it, if after the events of that year, you cared about the Wang family and their mothers and sons, and loved them in every way, what would be the situation now? ”

"I don't know, and I never thought about it. After Ruoyao's death, before you, I didn't have feelings for any woman, but it was my fault for owing those romantic debts. The Emperor replied frankly, "The concubines who remain in the palace, I can only promise them wealth and glory for a lifetime, and I can't take care of anything else, and I don't want to bother with it." ”

"Back then, ......," Min'er said to herself, "If Qiu Zhenyu had treated his mother and me well afterwards and made a man and father responsible, the meaning of the word 'father' would have changed in my view." But he didn't do anything, and even allowed Zhao to bully and abuse us and even my grandmother, so what I left for the rest of my life was resentment towards him and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, and I wished that I personally inserted the hairpin into Zhao's throat and into his throat. ”

Xiang Ye's face was solemn, he seemed to understand something.

"I will hope that Hong'er's death is the best result for the emperor to treat him, because in the past eight years, the memories that the emperor has brought to Hong'er will also bring him a shadow." Min'er said solemnly, "He hates Wang Jieyu crying the most, he doesn't know that it is a trick used by her mother to disguise herself to protect herself, he only knows that because there is no father's love, his mother keeps crying." ”

Xiang Ye sat next to Min'er and didn't say a word.

Min'er said: "After the death of the Wang family, such a shadow will always follow him, and when he grows up to be full-fledged, the hatred I have in my heart now will also grow and swell in his heart, so I will worry that he will be a hidden danger to the emperor's future." But the root of all this is in you. Not to mention whether Hong'er is your blood or blood, at least it is you who admit him, but after that, you have not taken any responsibility. ”

Xiang Ye looked at Min'er calmly, since he became the emperor four years ago, no one in this world would say anything like this to him, and his father went early, and the person who should have given him the most direction in his life also left him early. Xiang Ye's life also lacks the existence of his father.

It's just that unlike Min'er, Min'er would rather never have that person.

"Your Majesty, Feng'er and the newly-born little prince, everything is still in time, don't let them be the same as Hong'er, and have a grudge against you." Min'er said sincerely, "The emperor should treat Concubine Shu and her children well, so that the two brothers can grow up healthy and healthy, and as long as they admire and admire their father, don't let them feel that their mother is miserable and sad because of you." ”

Xiang Ye's gaze sank, but Min'er continued: "Two children, the emperor can always deal with them, and the emperor can always treat the concubine alone." But there are too many people, even the three heads and six arms can't be managed, it's not that I have to say such things at this moment, it seems that the little family is not generous, but the emperor, if you want to avoid the recurrence of such a tragedy, please take care of yourself, don't leave any more romantic debts. ”

"I didn't expect you to say that." The emperor flicked Min'er's forehead, he didn't move, and even accepted it calmly, but Min'er's words surprised him too much, "I'll never think of what you'll say next." ”
