The spring dusk darkened early, and the night was hazy like a veil, and the last bright purple glow draped Ah Ge in the dark gold of the sinking sand. The pear blossoms outside the window are in full bloom, and it only takes a spring rain to cut off the last prosperity. Occasionally, the wind blows, stirring the snow-colored flowers of the trees, and the shadows of the flowers are heavy.

Yuyan lingered outside her brother's house for a long time, suffering from not being able to enter the hall, and it happened that Lu Yun passed by, so she didn't pay attention to it, and she didn't see it.

However, Lu Yun was not affectionate, and first called: "Why is Jiagui here?" ”

Yuyan hurriedly bowed, and said stubbornly: "The pure concubine Niangniang wants to accuse the concubine of leaving the palace without authorization?" The emperor scolded the concubine and told the concubine that she could not leave the palace if she had nothing to do, but the concubine's ninth elder brother was weak and uneasy, and the concubine couldn't come to the elder brother's place to see? ”

But he was not angry: "Jia Guiren once also served as a concubine, and he was the assistant of the Sixth Palace, so he naturally knew the rules of his ancestors. Visiting my brother is arranged on a daily basis, and it is not something that anyone who wants to enter my brother's office. ”

Lu Yun hurriedly pressed Ke Xin and said: "Jia Guiren, the grandmother who serves the ninth elder brother has always followed you, and I want to take good care of the ninth elder brother, you can rest assured." ”

"Slaves, they're all cheap!" Yuyan glanced at Ke Xin and said, "If you don't beat or scold for a day, you will turn the sky upside down, leaving Qixiang Palace, without me staring, where can you take care of the child." Then, Yuyan sneered: "Concubine Chun is also a person with children, although her own children are not well-raised, she doesn't have to treat other people's children like this." You know, if you don't care enough about your children, you won't know what black seeds you will raise in the future. ”

Lu Yun is good at everything, but he can't listen to the words that criticize his children, how can he bear it for a while, and ridiculed: "Jia Guiren said this well!" If the mother's body is not right, it is indeed to repay the child. Originally, at this time, Brother Jiu should have been raised by your side, so you don't have to suffer like this! ”

Yuyan was so angry that her face was red, and she was about to argue, when the eunuch in charge of the antique room sent something over, and when she saw Lu Yun, she hurriedly said: "Pure noble concubine Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an, Jiagui Ren'an." ”

Ke Xin said: "Jiagui people will only ridicule others, but they can't help anything." If it weren't for the little master's operation, Brother Jiu was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to get some jade for a safe pillow. What can you expect Jia Guiren to do? ”

Yuyan saw that there were many people, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so she snorted angrily: "Don't pretend! Do you think I don't know what you've done? With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Lu Yun smiled bitterly again and again: "I know the nature of restraint, for the sake of the child's peace and self-control, how can Jiaguiren end up with such a temperament?" ”

Ke Xin said: "People are doing it, the sky is watching, let her go." The little lord should tell the emperor that the nobles left the palace without permission and contradicted the little lord. ”

Lu Yun stroked his sideburns, shook his head and said: "More things are better than less, why should I be embarrassed by others." It's also a pity for her mother's heart. As he spoke, he was also helped by Kexin.

The eunuch in charge of the antique room sent the jade bottles and jars into the Nine Elder Brothers' room, lined them up on the red sandalwood long table next to his pillow, and told the nurse: "This is what the pure concubine ordered, the jade should be placed close to the Nine Elder Brothers, for the purpose of calming the mind and pillowing, but don't be in the wrong place." ”

The nurses fell out of favor because of Yuyan, and they didn't care so much about Brother Jiu, they promised in their mouths, but they were lazy. At night, the nurses became more and more slack, and one of them, Mama Chen, said: "The doctor said that Brother Jiu couldn't drink the medicine, the medicine was too bitter, and Brother Jiu vomited when he drank it, so he let us drink it and feed it to Brother Jiu." ”

Another Mama Li said: "That medicine is more bitter than Coptis chinensis, Brother Jiu's tongue is afraid that he can't drink it, isn't our tongue a human tongue?" I took a sip and quietly poured it, Amitabha, I can't slow down after drinking a bowl of honey. ”

Mama Chen smiled: "It turns out that my sister is the same as me." In fact, it's not just a cold, it's good to cover it tightly, and it's useless to take so many medicines. As he was talking, Brother Jiu began to cry again, and Mama Chen said in annoyance: "I cry in the morning and cry in the evening, there is no time to rest." He wasn't tired of crying, but let's be tired of listening first. ”

Mama Li waved her hand and said, "That's it, let's watch some." Jia Guiren's temper is so explosive, if you hear it, you think we have treated Brother Jiu badly. Yesterday morning, I came to see that Brother Jiu had lost weight, and scolded us again. ”

Mama Chen sneered: "She still thinks she is Concubine Jia, but now she is a nobleman, and one word is a world of difference." Every time I come, I beat chickens and scold dogs, and I see that Brother Jiu is such a girl who has ended up at this point. As she spoke, she yawned, "I can't sleep well when I cry at noon, I'll go back and sleep for a while, you watch first." ”

Mama Li agreed, untied her shirt and fed Brother Jiu a few sips of milk, and saw that Brother Jiu had no appetite, so she frowned and said, "You can't drink milk even if you drink it." So he hugged him on the bed, slapped him a few times to coax him to sleep, and he also fell on the side of the bed and dozed off.

In the dead of night, the red candles shine high, exuding a faint firelight. Brother Jiu was tired from crying, and finally fell asleep. The jade bottle on the table shimmered with a glossy glow, and a squeaky sound sounded particularly strange in the quiet night. Suddenly, the jade bottle shook a few times, crooked with a bang, rolled around on the table, and knocked over the two green jade amphorae next to it. The bottles and cans were all polished to an extremely round shape, and they fell off the one-person-high long table with a clatter, and smashed loudly.

Brother Jiu suddenly heard the huge sound of bumps and fells, and cried heartbreakingly. Mama Li was also awakened, rubbed her eyes and saw a gray mouse crawling on the ground, so she raised her broom and hurried away: "It's really unlucky, a mouse came out and hit something." After that, it was a pity, "Such a good jade bottle was broken like this, but it was worth a lot of money." ”

She swept it slightly, impatiently went to pat Brother Jiu coaxing, only to shoot a few times, only to see Brother Jiu's face pale, rolling his eyes, his stomach twitching and twitching, beads of sweat the size of beans all over his body, and his crying became weaker and weaker. She was a little flustered, and hurriedly called Mama Chen out, and when the two watched together, Brother Jiu's face was already white, and his hands and feet would not move, only the breath was out but not the intake. The two glanced at each other, rushed out in a panic and shouted: "Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor, Ninth Elder Brother is not good!" ”

Brother Jiu stopped breathing before the Imperial Doctor arrived. By the time the emperor came to visit Elder Brother, Yuyan had already cried into a tearful person, holding on to the already cold body of Elder Brother Jiu and refusing to let go. She sat on the ground with her hair disheveled, thinking that she had been awakened in her sleep, and her face was not powdered, and her face became more and more yellow, miserable and pitiful. When the emperor saw her like this, he couldn't help but feel a little pity, and hurriedly called Jinzhong and Yuhu to help Yuyan up.

The emperor said angrily to the nurse: "Okay, how do you take care of my brother?" ”

The imperial physician kneeling on the ground was the judge of Qilu, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Brother Jiu was already crying with a cold, and his heart and lungs were fragile. ”

The emperor looked at the jade fragments all over the ground: "How could a good jade bottle fall, are you not careful?!" ”

Mama Li was so frightened that she hurriedly replied: "The emperor forgives the sin, the emperor forgives the sin." These jade bottles were sent from the antique room at dusk, and it was said that the pure concubine called them to send them to calm the mind and sleep the pillow. The slave and maid guarded Brother Jiu to sleep, and somehow, a mouse slipped into the room, and it was only when the bottle was smashed that it frightened Brother. ”

Mama Chen also kowtowed desperately and said: "Your Majesty, the slaves and maids don't dare to lie, and they don't dare to walk away even if they guard the elder brother." Originally, the slaves and maids also fed Brother Jiu, and Brother Jiu slept soundly. No one knows how the brutes sneak in and do harm. ”

Qi Lu said: "Brother Jiu already has a cold, and with the weakness brought from his mother's womb, he can't hear a loud noise. The Tai Hospital has prescribed the right medicine to Brother Jiu these days, but judging from Weichen's examination of Brother Jiu, Brother Jiu didn't drink much of these medicines, he was seriously ill, and he was frightened, so he couldn't wait for the doctor to come and pass away. ”

The emperor was furious and shouted, "Why did Brother Jiu have a cold and didn't take medicine?" Where did all his medicine go? ”

Mama Chen and Mama Li looked at each other in fright: "The decoction is too bitter, and the little brother can't drink it, so it's ......."

Qilu said: "Brother is young, and there are some who can't drink medicine, and the nurse can drink it herself and turn it into milk for Brother, which is the same." Judging from the final appearance of the ninth elder brother, these medicines did not reach the mouths of the nursing mothers. I'm afraid that the medicine is too bitter, so the nurses refuse to drink it. ”

When Yuyan heard this, her dull eyes turned twice, and she stuffed the ninth elder brother in her arms to Yuhu, and rushed up like crazy to grab the two nurses and tear and beat: "You black-hearted women, you don't take good care of the ninth elder brother, you are lazy and slack!" It's good now, life and death of my ninth elder brother! She hated it to the extreme, and she was extremely fierce, tearing and grabbing like a crazy female beast, and the nurses did not dare to dodge, and she was scratched by her and her face was covered with blood and embarrassed.
