Zhu Ran still went.

Along the way, looking at the cold and depressed East Palace, there was no popularity, which made Zhuran feel like Songhai Cangtian.

Those who win the world prosper, and those who lose the world die, which is a fixed number.

Passing by the Renyu Palace, the door of the palace is closed, and there is a sense of decay and gloom, and there is no trace of the dignified atmosphere that once been. At this moment, a down-and-out prince has reached the end of the mountain, and no one can cross the shore of him, whether he lives or dies, completely depends on the words of the person in power, or even a gesture. They are brothers, and the family affection that blood is thicker than water is far less moving than the splendid country.

Inside the Yili Temple.

Shen Li'er sat on the soft couch, covered her handkerchief, and coughed silently.

Seeing Zhu Ran coming in, he was supported by the maid to kneel down and salute Zhu Ran. Zhu Ran hurriedly stepped forward, held Shen Li'er's hand and said, "You and I are both concubines, so you don't have to give me such a big gift." ”

Shen Li'er held back her cough and said softly to Zhu Ran: "Thank you for coming to me, I am a dying person, and I will be burdened by my mother." ”

"What did Shen Niangniang say, there is no shortage of famous doctors in the world, and they will definitely cure you." Zhu Ran only said comforting words.

No, when Shen Li'er heard this, she couldn't help but sob, hurriedly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and said sadly: "The prince visited all the famous doctors in the world before his death, but he couldn't cure me, and now he is gone, ......" When he said this, he couldn't cry anymore.

"The prince is gone?!" Seeing that Shen Li'er was heartbroken, Zhu Ran suppressed the shock in his heart, and looked at the palace maid beside Shen Li'er, trying to get the answer from the palace maid's mouth, whether Zhu Hechu was placed under house arrest elsewhere by Zhu Heyu like Zhu Yun, or... was still given to death by Zhu Heyu.

The palace maid dodged Zhuran's gaze, knelt on the ground and cried: "The prince is ...... at the end"

Xiao Ge obviously felt that Zhu Ran's body trembled, looked at the palace maid on the ground, and said in a slightly unhappy voice: "The new emperor is just about to ascend the throne, what is this crying and crying!" As he spoke, he took the palace maid and withdrew.

Shen Li'er relieved herself, held back the bitterness in her heart, and said to Zhu Ran: "I have a heart disease, no one can cure it......"

Zhu Ran saw that Shen Li'er still had something to say, and waited for her to speak.

saw her sad and remorseful face, and said eloquently: "I was originally a fine work sent by Zhu Heyu to the prince's side, and approached Zhu Hechu with a mission, but I didn't want to be moved by his true feelings. He was cowardly and incompetent, but he was 100% sincere to me...... Zhu Heyu's orders, I must carry out correctly, and I used Zhu Hechu's true feelings again and again, and acted on the spot, but I made true feelings. Last spring, Zhu Heyu instructed me to assist Du Yuyan in faking his death, which was the last thing I promised to help Zhu Heyu do, but it was a pity that it ......" Shen Li'er said, coughing violently again, covering her mouth with a handkerchief, but for the last time, she coughed up red white Jinpa.

"Shen Niangniang!" Zhu Ran went to pat Shen Li'er on the back and shouted loudly: "Come on, go and pass on the imperial doctor!" ”

Shen Li'er stopped the palace maid who was going to find the imperial doctor, and said softly to Zhu Ran: "I can't go back to heaven, and now I want to ask Niangniang for one last thing." ”

"Shen Niangniang, please speak." Zhu Ran looked at Shen Li'er, who was described as withered, and felt very uncomfortable.

"Wait for me... I died and wanted to be buried with Zhu Hechu. ”

When Zhu Ran heard this, his heart suddenly became depressed, and he didn't know how to speak for a long time.

Shen Li'er is Zhu Hechu's concubine, not the crown princess, according to the national etiquette system, how can they be buried together. Zhu Hechu's current crown princess is the daughter of Zhou Fang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, although Zhu Hechu is dead, the crown princess is still alive, how can he agree to let Zhu Hechu and Shen Li'er be buried together. If Zhu Ran went to beg Zhu Heyu, in order to maintain his image as a Ming monarch, Zhu Heyu could not agree to let the first prince, his nominal younger brother, be buried with the concubine. Behind his back, in order to avenge his brother and mother, he could put the emperor under house arrest and execute the queen and the crown prince. But above the court and in front of the world, he wants to maintain the image of benevolence, righteousness and filial piety, affection and righteousness as the Son of Heaven.

Seeing that Zhu Ran was silent, Shen Li'er held Zhu Ran's hand and smiled: "What I said before was a joke......

"Shen Niangniang......" Zhu Ran didn't even dare to face her.

Shen Li'er explained: "What I said before is really a joke, at most I still have a month to live, I want to go out of the palace and see the world, people say that the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, the customs of Fujian and Zhejiang are good, and I want to see it in my lifetime." I wonder if my mother can fulfill my wish? ”

"Okay, I will go to the emperor immediately to fulfill Shen Niangniang's wishes."

After Shen Li'er heard this, she wanted to kneel on the ground to thank her, but Zhu Ran held her down and instructed the maid outside the hall: "Take care of your mother!" ”

Before leaving, he said to Shen Li'er with a smile: "Shen Niangniang is waiting for my news." ”

Zhu Ran walked towards Chenghuan Palace, looking at the blue sky and cloudless, it was a sunny and good day, but she felt that the haze was infinite.

Thinking of last spring, she was next to the pool outside the Renyu Palace, and on the day she first met Shen Li'er, Shen Li'er left the palace maid beside her, but went to meet Zhu Heyu. It's just that now, after he has used Shen Li'er, Shen Li'er has ended up like this, and her last wish is to ask her, a person who only has two faces. Zhu Ran said in his heart, Zhu Heyu, you are really ruthless.

After Zhu Ran left, he was in the Li Palace. A person walked out from behind the landscape carved screen, and the woman walked up to Shen Li'er and smiled sarcastically: "You can really act, you are worthy of being a drama from Qinglou!" ”

"Not because of you!" Shen Li'er was still coughing softly, and there was blood on her handkerchief.

"Since I have already promised you, why did I go to Zhuran and ask for it again?" The woman said, already sitting on Shen Li'er's side.

"Why?" Shen Li'er was also sarcastic, "If she can promise me, I will tell you about it!" ”

The woman's face was slightly angry, and then she smiled and said, "It's a pity that no one in this palace can do this except me!" So saying, he got up and went out.

Shen Li'er stopped her and said, "Promise me, you'd better honor it!" Otherwise, even if I die, there is a way for her to know the truth! ”

The woman walked out expressionlessly, and said as she walked: "Don't worry, you can die in peace!" ”

After the woman left, Shen Li'er called the palace maid outside the palace to come in, stuffed the letter that had already been written into the palace maid's hand, and gently explained: "When you settle me, you will find an opportunity to hand over this letter to Zhu Niangniang." ”

"Niangniang......" The palace maid couldn't help crying.

Shen Li'er endured her physical discomfort, and smiled at the corner of her mouth and comforted: "Look at me...... Now it is described as withered, and it will be boiled until the day when the fragrance disappears, but it is tormented, so it is better to go now. When you go over there, you can see Hechu early. ”

"...... Slave... I can't bear to ...... you," the palace maid couldn't cry anymore.

Shen Li'er wiped away her tears for the palace maid and said: "People are going to die sooner or later, listen to my words, hand over this letter to Zhu Niangniang, I have begged her in the letter, with Zhu Niangniang as a person, I will definitely settle you well...... The fate of our master and servant... Let's continue in the next life......"

"Mother's ......"
