stayed up until the sunrise in the east, the glow of the sun, the moaning and groaning of Ling Guifei became weaker and weaker, and a cat-like baby cry broke the tension in this cold palace.

"It's raw!"

The Queen Mother stood up from the brocade pier and held Yuehua's hand tightly.

Tan Ruo came out of the curtain and shook her head at the Queen Mother and Yuehua: "Concubine Ling knows that she has no skills to return to heaven, and she insists on keeping the child." It's almost gone. ”

The joy that had just risen in the Queen Mother's heart was instantly washed away, and she stumbled under her feet, and she was stunned for a long time before she reacted, and staggered forward: "Ling'er!" ”

Yuehua hurriedly stepped forward to support her and lifted the curtain with her into the house.

A strong smell of blood came to my face.

Concubine Ling was lying on the couch, covered with a bed of white cloth sheets, her face was like gold paper, and she was dying.

Yuehua almost didn't recognize it, and all the hair on her head fell out in the past, which was full of spirit, and she was described as withered and unrecognizable.

The Queen Mother was almost half-supported by Yuehua and fell in front of Concubine Ling's bed.

"Silly boy, why are you so stupid? What would you rather lay down your life to keep this evil seed? ”

Concubine Ling opened her eyes slowly, her eyes were already dim, her lips were open, and she was twitching slightly, all of which were a little difficult.

"I know I can't do it, I don't have any hope of living."

She smiled far-fetched, and that miserable look was very different from the domineering she had been a few months ago.

The Queen Mother couldn't cry.

"As a mother, I really know what it means to love someone selflessly. In the past, Ling'er's love for the emperor was too selfish, so there was such a result, but it was just self-inflicted. There is nothing to be sad about, and to die is liberation. ”

Yuehua didn't know whether she should open her mouth to comfort Concubine Ling, and she didn't know what she should say. She stood beside her, always silent.

When a man is about to die, his words are good. She was afraid to see someone off, especially when it came to a withered and withered face, which was always very sentimental. Even though, that person had done a lot of things to be sorry for himself before, and he wanted her life in his heart.

Concubine Ling rolled her eyes with difficulty, saw Yuehua, and said with her lips pursed: "Queen Mother, please do something." ”

It was the first time she was so humble that she spoke to Yuehua in the dust, and even in the face of Yuehua's accusations, she had never lowered her arrogant head.

Yuehua pursed her lips: "You say." ”

"I'm sorry for you, but can we let the grievances between us disappear with Ling'er's death?"

Yuehua nodded: "It's already in the past." ”

"My child, she shouldn't bear the fault I committed, she is innocent, Ling'er doesn't ask you to treat her well, only to spare her life. Can you help me say a good word in front of the emperor? ”

Yuehua raised her eyes to look at the Queen Mother, who was full of compassion and tears.

The fate of this child can be decided by the Queen Mother, Mo Guhan can be decided, and even civil and military officials can participate, but Yuehua can't decide.

She knows that the child is innocent, but can the emperor's family tolerate her existence?

Concubine Ling looked at her with more and more earnest eyes, and the whole person seemed to be a tense string, Yuehua's answer, whether it was or not, would make her string break suddenly.

The Queen Mother also turned her head to look at Yuehua with pleading.

Yuehua nodded: "The emperor should not have any intention of embarrassing this child, I will do my best." ”

"Really?"

Concubine Ling's eyes shimmered with hope, like two clusters of flames.

Yuehua nodded.

Concubine Ling smiled hard: "Your Majesty, he doesn't believe me, it's me who died and suffered by myself." However, it was really not my work to poison the embroidery thread, and I did not collude with the Bloody Hall. ”

Yuehua was silent, noncommittal.

The Queen Mother touched her face distressedly, crying silently: "Silly child! ”

"I've disappointed the imperial aunt......" Concubine Ling smiled very dismally: "Ling'er has been causing trouble for you, and it's finally going to end....."

"Ling'er!"

"Ahem, you deserve it..... The royal aunt must not be sad. “

The breath gradually weakened, her eyes slowly closed, and the unfinished words remained in her heart forever, with reluctance to the newborn child, repentance for the past, and guilt for the queen mother.

That string...... Broken.

Yuehua suddenly remembered that when she first entered the palace, on that snowy day, she and Mo Guhan came out of Wenyuan Pavilion with an umbrella, and Concubine Ling wore a red palace dress, like a proud snow red plum, jumping from the distance with snow flakes flying in the sky, and sprinkled silver bells all the way. At that time, she was full of vitality, like a thorn in her body, which made people can't help but look sideways.

The Queen Mother lay on Concubine Ling's body in grief, crying silently and grief-stricken.

Yuehua called Tan Ruo on the side: "Go and talk to Rong Xiang and see what the emperor means." ”

Although Concubine Ling has not taken away the position of concubine, her identity is indeed embarrassing, and it is in the way of the queen mother, she really doesn't dare to make the decision, and she doesn't know how to bury her.

Tan Ruo nodded, gently tugged at her sleeve, and avoided the Queen Mother and whispered: "Niangniang, that baby has been suffocated for too long, and it is congenitally insufficient, I'm afraid it will be difficult to feed." Even if you raise it, you are stupid. ”

Yuehua was stunned for a moment, and sighed lightly: "You can do your best, as for where she goes, it's not up to us to decide." ”

Later, Mo Guhan discussed with the Queen Mother that the Imperial Tomb Concubine would definitely not be able to enter, and in the end, the best way was to burn it with a fire, and send the ashes to the northwest with the baby she had just given birth to, and hand them over to the Shen family to raise.

Although Shen Shilang was demoted, he should not be too depressed with the care of the Queen Mother.

Yuehua talked to Mo Guhan about what Concubine Ling said to herself when she was dying, but Mo Guhan didn't care.

After all, this matter is already conclusive, and after Shao Ziqing's personal interrogation, Concubine Ling also confessed and closed the coffin. Now that the old thing is brought up again, although it is said that people are about to die, and his words are good, they are not convincing.

Concubine Ling has already died, and in the matter of colluding with the Blood Hall, whether she is innocent or not, in fact, there is not much need to investigate the root cause.

It's just that the woman who has a birthmark in her palm and will be angry has not been found, which means that the person is still hidden in the palace and is still a big trouble.

Therefore, Yuehua will still think about those things over and over again, and gradually peel out a little doubt from it.

For example, when Chu Mubai searched the Jiaofang Palace, the female assassin had already gone to the empty building, but why did she leave behind the secret weapon to kill Gonggong Lin? Was it negligence, or was it intentional?

For another example, the arrest of Gonggong Lin did not leak the slightest rumor in advance. That day, Concubine Ling stayed at home and didn't know about it, so how did she instruct the female assassin to do it?

And the most important point is the confession of the little eunuch Zhao Jiu'er, who denied it very categorically that Concubine Ling belonged to Gonggong Lin's party.

One after another, although they were all extremely subtle suspicions, they were enough to make Yuehua vigilant.

The palace is rare on the surface, and the queen mother, who often nagged about the excitement of many talents, was tossed by the two children, and had no time to think about anything else.

Three lying down, six sitting and eight will climb, the older the month, the more careful the eyes, Rui'er will play the word naughty to the fullest, and the more set off the well-behaved and sensible of Hui'er.

Rui'er is domineering, even when the nurse is breastfeeding, she has to eat while stepping on the other with her foot, anyway, she doesn't let others touch it.

The Queen Mother deliberately hugged Hui'er and leaned forward, but Rui'er kicked her legs wildly, not reluctantly.

Mo Guhan was afraid that Rui'er would be pleasing to him, so many people spoiled him, and then spoiled a lawless demon king of the world, so after hearing about it, he pretended to bluff his face and said fiercely at Rui'er: "So domineering, if you bully your brother again, your father will beat you!" ”

Rui'er nestled in Yuehua's arms domineeringly, staring at Mo Guhan with a pair of hairy eyes, the mist gradually condensed, and then her mouth was deflated, and she cried with a "wow", tears hanging all over her face.

"Ah, you can even look at your face?" Yuehua leaned forward and leaned back with a smile, and joked to Mo Guhan: "You know how scary it is for you to sink your face, right?" Thanks to our family, Rui'er is still bold. ”

The Queen Mother felt sorry for Rui'er, glared at Mo Guhan dissatisfiedly, and hurriedly coaxed: "Your father is teasing you, don't cry or cry." ”

It's unbelievable that he knows how to scare people with teardrops at such a young age. Mo Guhan suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, leaned his face over, still strained his face: "In the future, if you are obedient, my father will not be noisy." ”

Rui'er looked at him aggrievedly, buried her face in Yuehua's arms, and still couldn't stop sobbing.

Hu'er, who was silent on the side, kept staring at Mo Guhan with a pair of dark eyes, everyone's thoughts were all on Rui'er, and no one paid attention to him. He suddenly leaned over most of his body, stretched out his hand and slapped Mo Guhan in the face.

"Smack!" The sound was firm and exceptionally crisp, hitting Mo Guhan's cheek.

Everyone was stunned, turned their faces to look at Hui'er, he stared at Mo Guhan angrily, without fear.

Orr, everyone burst into laughter.

"The little prince is protecting his sister!"

"Good guy, look at this boldness, or how to say that the tiger father has no dog. The guards in our palace were so frightened that the emperor stared at him, but Hui'er was not afraid! The Queen Mother smiled from ear to ear.

Yuehua covered her lips and looked at Mo Guhan's slap-in face, which was called a music.

Under the whole world, who dares to use force on the head?

"I'm also worried that Rui'er is too domineering, and the relationship between the brother and sister will not be good in the future, it seems that I am too worried."

Mo Guhan pursed his lips, as if the slap had blinded him, and only then did he react: "You are all laughing so presumptuously, isn't there anyone to comfort and comfort me?" ”

Mo Guhan's reaction seemed to make Rui'er laugh, and he suddenly burst into laughter and laughed "giggle".

And Rui'er smiled, and Hui'er even hooked her lips and grinned, extremely happy.

The Queen Mother shook her head helplessly: "Who is this little girl with, how can she be so stubborn?" Thanks to Hui'er, she has the appearance of being a brother, and lets her everywhere. ”
