Chang'an didn't know how long she had been asleep, and when she woke up, she was still in the familiar Taoyao Palace, with evening fragrance and cold smoke by her side.

Wan Xiang brought a bowl of soup and medicine, carefully blew it cold for her, and said softly, "Master, the emperor guarded you all night yesterday, and just went to the court, you can get up and drink some medicine." ”

Chang'an opened his eyes and looked at the empty and lonely Taoyao Palace, and then he clearly realized that Yun Jing was gone, and he was indeed gone.

The cold was like nine days of ice and snow, and it instantly permeated Chang'an's whole body.

Wanxiang held the medicine bowl, looked at Chang'an in a daze, and couldn't help but say with tears in her eyes, "Queen Mother, you have to cheer up, otherwise the fourth prince will not feel at ease when he sees you like this." ”

Chang'an's mind was blank, and she didn't dare to think about anything at this time, and she couldn't think about anything.

As soon as she closed her eyes, Yun Jing's appearance appeared in front of her eyes, again and again.

It's not that she hasn't lost a child, but this time the pain is even stronger. She watched Yun Jing grow up, and watched his cold body lying in her arms.

As a mother, there is nothing more cruel in the world.

She Shen Chang'an's life has not been smooth. She has so many family members, but she is sincere to her, but Erer. The eldest brother died of illness, his father died in the line of duty, and his son-in-law died young. Whatever it is, it can kill her.

But she can't die. Behind her, there is her sister Shen Changle who is staring at her, her ambitious mother, Zhong Yuxiu, and so many people who want to watch her fall. Moreover, she has an adopted son to raise.

While thinking about it, the door suddenly moved slightly, and Chang'an watched Chu Ying walk to her side.

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm coming to see you."

His voice was gentle and distant.

Chang An hid his face with his sleeves, and his voice was sad, "I'm half a dead person, what are you still coming to see me for?" ”

Chu Ying's hand lightly covered her hand, and her voice was a little hoarse and gentle, "I'm afraid you'll be sad." ”

There was gradually a fragment of tenderness slowly accumulating under her eyes, she looked at Chu Ying, and tears couldn't stop rolling down, "My queen has no concubine, it's nothing, what hope can I have?" ”

Chu Ying's eyes sank slightly, and he lowered his head and said, "Do you care about the queen's position?" ”

Chang An smiled faintly, as if he was extremely discouraged, "I don't care, what's the matter?" Now that there are so many pairs of eyes staring at me in the palace, I can't even take a breath if I want to. ”

After that, she looked at Chu Ying, her expression was slightly cold, "Do you remember when I told you that I killed Song Zhaoyi?" This is my retribution. I hurt her child, so she wants my child's life to pay back. ”

Chu Ying frowned slightly, and reached out to gently help her gently tie the broken hair behind her ear, "Don't think so, it's not your fault, let alone Yun Jing's fault." ”

"But I hurt him, I hurt him......" Chang'an wept deeply and murmured helplessly, "I did something wrong, so the retribution went to Yun Jing, but he was not wrong, why didn't he take my life, why did it be him, why did it be my child......"

Chu Ying's eyes were so soft, he tried his best to calm down, but he had to come up with another thing to comfort her, "Chang'an, the imperial brother has just issued an order to posthumously crown the fourth prince as the crown prince, the mausoleum has moved into the imperial mausoleum, and the funeral has been arranged." ”

Chang'an sneered coldly, and his complexion slowly faded, "What's the use of chasing the crown prince?" My Yun Jing will not be rare for the position of the crown prince. After finishing speaking, she let out a long sigh and said to Chu Ying, "You go, I want to be alone and quiet." ”

Chu Ying was silent in his heart, but he never wanted to leave.

"Let's go."

Chang'an raised his hazy teary eyes and looked at him in a daze.

After a long time, it was as if he had just gotten up and walked out step by step.

As soon as Chu Yingfang stepped out of the door, An He greeted him and asked in a low voice, "Lord Wang, didn't you tell the queen about the kite?" ”

Chu Ying sighed slightly, and her words were full of unconcealable warmth, "The queen is too sad, don't tell her about such things." ”

"But......" An He hesitated slightly, and didn't say anything, "Lord Wang, you also think it's strange, right?" How can a kite suddenly appear in this place where there are no people? ”

Chu Ying thought about the situation that day, but the gloom on his face became heavier and heavier, "This king feels that the fourth prince is not a stumbling into the water, he is the son-in-law, and the only son of the queen, many people are staring at the middle palace, among them, there must be something strange." ”

"Lord, then let's ...... about this"

"Before you find out, you are not allowed to reveal half a word." Chu Ying looked at An He, a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes, "Do you understand?" ”

An He bowed his head respectfully, "Yes, Lord Wang." ”

The funeral of the four princes came out, and in addition to the sadness and grief of the harem, there were also people who were panicked.

In the afternoon of this day, Zhong Yuxiu took Jiangxin and Changle to sit in the Xiangyi Palace, Changle stared at Yuxiu, smiled slightly and said, "The fourth prince is gone, and the queen is not gone, I have been in a coma for a day and a night, and there has been no movement until now." ”

Yuxiu glanced at her lightly, and said slowly, "Xiu Yuan's mind is more vicious than this palace, and your nephew drowned, you can still laugh." ”

"The lady is happy too, isn't she?" Changle's eyes flashed with a touch of anger, and he lowered his voice a little and said, "Niangniang's father helped the emperor solve the big problem of overdraft of the treasury, and he was very long-faced in the previous dynasty, and now, these five princes will ascend to the throne of the crown prince, and it is just around the corner." ”

Yuxiu leaned under the window and sneered disdainfully, "The five princes of this palace are not as expensive as the four princes, there are no people, and the emperor posthumously crowned the crown prince." ”

Changle smiled lightly, but there was a sharp color in his eyes, "What's the use of chasing the seal?" It's just for the living, can he still go to the underworld to be the emperor? ”

Speaking of this, Yuxiu couldn't help but laugh twice, looked at Changle and said, "Don't talk so desperately, aren't you afraid of retribution?" ”

"Retribution will not be upon me." Changle spoke slowly, but his eyes were staring straight at Zhong Yuxiu, "Even if you want retribution, you have to repay the person who killed the fourth prince." ”

Yuxiu's face was like frost in an instant, and her face turned white by a minute, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"The matter of the four princes is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster." Changle raised his eyebrows lightly and smiled tactfully, "There are only four princes in the palace, the eldest prince and the fourth prince are all queens, the second prince has no adoptive mother, and the biological mother is low, so it is naturally impossible to sit on the throne, so the only one who has a prince and is highly respected is not only the lady concubine?" ”

Yuxiu's face became more and more ugly, and she said with hidden hatred, "You don't want to spew blood!" ”

Changle smiled as usual, and there was no throbbing in his eyes, "But don't worry, I won't tell the emperor." ”

"Hongu didn't do it!" Yuxiu pointed at Shen Changle with trembling fingers, trembling with anger, "This palace didn't push the four princes into the lake, it wasn't this palace that did it!" ”

"When did I say that my mother pushed it?" Changle smiled slightly, that smile was reflected in Zhong Yuxiu's eyes, but it was extremely terrifying, "Don't worry, Niangniang, I don't know anything yet." ”

Zhong Yuxiu was so hateful that she was about to vomit blood, she just wanted to raise her hand and slap Shen Changle hard, but she suddenly squatted down and kept retching.

Yuxiu's eyebrows jumped rapidly, and her voice trembled a little, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Changle covered his lips with his sleeves, stroked his heart and said, "I don't know what it is lately, I have a bad appetite, and I want to vomit whatever I eat." ”

Yuxiu looked at Changle, and there was a hint of hatred in her tone, "You won't be happy, right?" ”

When Changle heard this, there was a smile between his eyebrows and eyes that couldn't be hidden, "Really? The concubine is going to borrow the good words of the mother. ”

Out of the door of Xiangyi Palace, Yuxiu was so angry that she was about to crush her teeth, Jiang Xin saw this, immediately went to Yuxiu's side, and said in a low voice, "Niangniang, if the little master of Xiuyuan is really happy, should we do something to make her child unable to give birth?" ”

Yuxiu looked at Jiang Xin, her eyes were like a forest, "Don't you want to live?" You just heard what she said, this slut knows about the four princes, in case she tells the emperor, the palace will be finished. ”

Speaking of this, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Yu Xiu's eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Shen Changle, this poisonous woman!" She must be using the affairs of the four princes to blackmail the palace to ensure the stability of her imperial heir! It's vicious! ”

At the time, He Sheng presented the green head card for the emperor to read, the emperor's eyebrows were heavy, but there was no interest, He Sheng took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, the queen has woken up, do you want to go to Taoyao Palace tonight?" ”

The emperor groaned slightly, but his eyes did not know where to look.

After a while, He Sheng heard the emperor speak, "Go to Xiangyi Palace." ”

He Sheng was immediately stunned.

He hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and asked, "Is the emperor going to Shen Xiuyuan?" ”

The emperor didn't answer, just glanced at him coldly.

He Sheng didn't dare to ask again, and immediately bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

Chu Luo got on the dragon bowl, but his heart was tense for a while.

The pain of losing a child is like a scimitar grinding bluntly on one's heart, not sharp, but deep to the bone. He had many children, but none of them were more painful than this one.

What he lost was his and Chang'an's only child.

In the dark, Chu Luo felt that his only connection with Chang'an had also been severed.

One is a woman who is aging and immersed in the pain of losing a child all day long, and the other is a young girl who is blooming like a spring flower, and he chose the latter. Perhaps out of human instinct, he wanted to use a little joy to sweep away the gloom.

Chang'an is becoming less and less like Shen Changan, she seems to be just Queen Shen. But Changle is different, she has the appearance of Chang'an when she was seventeen years old, and she also has the state of mind of Chang'an when she was seventeen years old. She loved him, more than seventeen-year-old Shen Changan.

More importantly, only when he is by Changle's side can he truly feel that the former Shen Changan is back.

What he deliberately avoided was not only the deep pain of losing his son, but also the indifference of Shen Changan now.

He thought he had escaped, but it wasn't.
