Text Chapter 1019 A Sudden Fire
Eight months later, Yue'er gave birth to a little princess for the emperor, and the emperor loved the princess very much, and she hoped that the little princess born to Yue'er would grow up to be as bright and beautiful as the moonlight.
As soon as the emperor was happy, he named the little princess born to Yue'er as Princess Lanyue, and what made the emperor even happier was that it didn't take long for Qin Liusu to give birth.
During pregnancy, Qin Liusu's belly exceeded the size of the month, and after seeing it, Imperial Doctor Pan told the emperor that Liusu should be a pair of twins in his abdomen, but he didn't expect that when he gave birth, it would be the case.
Qin Liusu gave birth to a pair of twin sisters for the emperor. Looking at the two beautiful little princesses, the emperor liked it indescribably, and he wanted to canonize the two princesses when they turned one year old, but he didn't expect an incident to happen that made the emperor regret it for life.
In the Linzhao Palace, Qin Liusu, who was still in confinement, was lying on the bed, Xiaoqing and Xiaoyun were waiting by his side, and Liusu had not seen the two princesses in the past few days, and he missed it very much.
"Xiaoyun, Xiaoqing, the two of you go and bring the two little princesses over, I haven't seen them for a few days, I miss them very much." Qin Liusu said while lying on the bed.
"Yes, slaves and maids." Xiaoqing and Xiaoyun left the Linzhao Hall after speaking, at this time Du Nishang came with lotus incense, and as soon as she entered the Linzhao Palace, she walked straight towards Qin Liusu's dormitory.
"Qin Meiren, do you know that yesterday Concubine Hua Niangniang has been beaten into the cold palace by the emperor, she has many letters and secret communication songs with her lover outside the palace, the emperor sees that she will not die for the sake of giving birth to Princess Lanyue, I am afraid that Concubine Hua Niangniang can only spend the rest of her life in the cold palace." Du Nishang said with a wild laugh.
Hearing Du Nishang say this, Qin Liusu's tears burst out of her eyes, Qin Liusu and Yue'er had already established a deep friendship during pregnancy, but she never dreamed that Yue'er gave birth to a princess for the emperor, and it would be such an ending.
Seeing the sadness on Qin Liusu's face, Du Nishang said again: "The emperor originally wanted to put you and that Yue'er into the cold palace together, but because you are still in confinement, he decided to wait for you to be out of confinement before dealing with you." ”
Du Nisheng's words fell on Qin Liusu's head like a basin of cold water, she once thought that she could live a peaceful life in this palace, but she didn't expect that such a thing would happen in the palace in just a few days.
With her understanding of Yue'er, Yue'er categorically would not betray the emperor, and although she was good friends with Yue'er, she didn't know about the so-called letters.
As soon as she thought of the confinement, the emperor would send her into the cold palace, and Qin Liusu's tears rolled down like beads with broken threads. Now she can give up everything, and the only thing that makes her feel at ease is the pair of twin daughters she gave birth to not long ago.
Du Nishang saw Qin Liusu's lonely face, so he laughed wildly for a long time, and then left with lotus incense, until now, Qin Liusu saw Du Nisheng's true face, it turned out that in this palace, those glory and wealth and the emperor's favor were fleeting like a passing cloud.
Soon after Du Nishang left, Xiaoqing and Xiaoyun walked in with their infant children, Qin Liusu looked at his own pair of daughters in swaddling clothes, his eyes were full of reluctance.
"Xiaoqing, you want to find a way to get out of the palace, and then inform An Hu and Xing'er, let the two of them wait outside tonight, and I will find a way to get the token to leave the palace from the emperor." Qin Liusu said to Xiaoqing.
"Yes, Niangniang, the slave still wants to hide from you, but I didn't expect Niangniang to know now, Xiaoyun is willing to swear to stay by Niangniang's side." Xiaoyun said crying.
"Now is not the time to show loyalty, Xiaoyun, when Xiaoqing comes back from outside the palace in the afternoon, I will ask you tonight, please be sure to send my two children to Anfu, and from now on my children will please you." Qin Liusu said to Xiaoyun.
"Niangniang, Xiaoyun will definitely let these two children grow up healthy and happy in Anfu, Niangniang, you can rest assured." Xiao Yun said with a firm face.
"Now I only hope that these two children can live, stay away from everything in this palace, and never have anything to do with the palace in the future." Qin Liusu took the baby child one by one with both hands and looked at it again and again.
After Xiaoqing left the palace, he truthfully told An Hu and Xing'er about Qin Liusu's current situation in the palace, and heard Xiaoqing say this,
Apricot's eyes were filled with tears.
"Tell Liusu and let her relax, An Hu and I will definitely let Xiaoyun take the two princesses to live a good life in Anfu." Apricot couldn't stop crying after she finished speaking.
At night, the palace was indescribably quiet, and at midnight, Qin Liusu handed over the two children in her swaddling clothes to Xiaoyun, and when she came back to her senses, she found that there was a fire spreading in Linzhao Palace.
"Xiaoqing, fortunately, Xiaoyun has already left with my two children one step earlier, otherwise they will be buried in the fire with us, while the fire is not big now, you can leave quickly." Qin Liusu said to Xiaoqing.
"Liusu, Xiaoqing will never leave you alone, even if you die, Xiaoqing will accompany you, it was like this in Zhangfu before, and it is the same now." Xiaoqing said firmly. Hearing this, Qin Liusu's heart was indescribably moved.
The palace people and the patrolling guards all shouted: "The water is gone, the Linzhao Hall is water." "For a moment, everyone picked up the barrel and poured the basin on the raging fire.
Xiaoqing helped Qin Liusu to cry silently in the dormitory, and the emperor was accompanying Wei Linglong in the Hehuan Hall at the moment, when Gonggong Chen told the emperor about this, the emperor was still shocked beyond words.
"Linglong, come with me to Linzhao Hall to have a look, now Liusu is afraid that he already knows about Yue'er, I am just angry with her, but I don't want her to die." The emperor said to Wei Linglong sadly.
"Your Majesty, the concubines will go with you." After the emperor finished speaking, he and Wei Linglong hurriedly got dressed and walked towards the outside of the Hehuan Palace.
"Your Majesty, now that the fire is booming, I'm afraid that it won't be long before the Linzhao Palace will be burned to ashes, and the Chengxiang Hall adjacent to the Linzhao Palace, the servants have already notified that Xu Jieyu is now outside the Linzhao Palace." Gonggong Chen said in a panic.
"Tell the palace guards and palace maids and eunuchs to save Qin Meiren no matter what, if Qin Meiren has any mistakes, I want them to be buried with them." The emperor said suddenly.
In the emperor's heart, he didn't want Qin Liusu to die like this anyway, the emperor had already had good intentions to include Qin Liusu in the harem, and now if Qin Liusu died like this, then he wouldn't be able to see her again in the future. Thinking of this, the emperor felt unspeakably scared in his heart.
Commander Cui also came over with a group of guards under his command, and everyone worked hard to extinguish the fire in the Linzhao Palace, but at this time, they saw that Xiaoqing had already fallen into a coma, and Qin Liusu had already hanged himself in the dormitory.
When several eunuchs saw this, they hurriedly put Qin Liusu on the bed, and the emperor rushed forward regardless of his safety, hugged Qin Liusu on the bed and said: "Liusu, why are you so stupid, I am just angry, but in my heart I never thought of wanting you to die." ”
At this time, several guards found the cotton wool that was about to be burned not far away, as well as the clothes of the palace maids, and hurriedly said loudly: "Tell the emperor, the subordinates have been looking for a long time and have not found the two little princesses, if you are not mistaken, the two little princesses and one of the palace maids named Xiaoyun have been buried in the fire." ”
Hearing the guards say this, the emperor's heart was even more sad, he didn't expect Qin Liusu to hate him so much that he would set fire to this Linzhao Palace, even the two children she gave birth to for him. Thinking of this, the emperor's heart was extremely confused.
Now everything makes the emperor feel puzzled, with his understanding of Qin Liusu, Qin Liusu will definitely kill Xiaoyun, the palace maid who serves him all day, let alone burn this Linzhao Palace.
The emperor picked up Qin Liusu, and then said to Gonggong Chen: "Chen Hongzhi, Imperial Doctor Xuanpan has come to Zichen Palace, I want him to save Qin Liusu and the palace maids in Linzhao Palace, I want to know the truth of everything." ”
In the Imperial Doctor's Office, Pan Mengyang was very flustered when he heard that there was a fire in the Linzhao Palace, and Qin Liusu, who had always wanted to be guarded in Pan Mengyang's heart, would be a pity for Pan Mengyang if he died like this.
At this moment, Pan Mengyang was a little at a loss, he followed a little eunuch and walked towards Zichen Hall with an expressionless face, all the way Pan Mengyang silently read in his heart: "Qin Liusu, you must live, you must not die, I still have a lot to say to you." ”
In the Zichen Palace, Pan Mengyang administered needles to Xiaoqing, only to see Xiaoqing cough a few times, then slowly opened his eyes, looked around at everything in the Zichen Palace, and then gradually regained consciousness.
Xiaoqing found that she was in the Zichen Hall at this moment, and Qin Liusu was lying there quietly on the dragon couch of the Zichen Palace, and Pan Mengyang was applying needles to Qin Liusu over and over again. Those silver needles pierced Qin Liusu's forehead.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must save Qin Meiren, the slave maid did not take good care of Qin Meiren, and please ask the emperor to atone for his sins." Xiaoqing said sadly, but her heart was full of suspicion about the sudden fire.
"You're the palace maid Xiaoqing who serves Liusu, right? In the past, I was a slave in the miscellaneous workshop, don't be in a hurry, and slowly make it clear, why did Linzhao Hall catch fire for no reason, what is going on? The emperor looked at Xiaoqing in front of him with a puzzled face.
Pan Mengyang had obviously recognized Xiaoqing a long time ago, but now in Pan Mengyang's heart, he was more worried about Qin Liusu's life and death, and after several injections, Qin Liusu did not have the slightest sign of survival, which made Pan Mengyang's heart very lost.
Back to the emperor, Niangniang suddenly said yesterday afternoon that she wanted to see the two little princesses, and the slave maid and Xiaoyun took the two little princesses from the nurse together, and when she came back, she saw Du Zhaoyi walking out of the Linzhao Palace. The slaves didn't think much of it. ”
After saying this, Xiaoqing continued: "But after the mother coaxed the two little princesses to sleep last night, she was accompanied by the slave maid to the dormitory to rest, but she didn't expect a sudden fire to burn in the Linzhao Palace, and the slave maid and the maid found out that Xiaoqing and the two little princesses had been buried in the fire. ”
"Then why did Qin Meiren hang herself, but was it because of the loss of the two little princesses?" The emperor asked sadly. When Xiaoqing heard the emperor say this, her heart was even more sad.
"The slave couldn't open her eyes because of the smoke, and then she fell into a coma, and the mother probably knew that Xiaoyun and the two little princesses were no longer alive, so she moved the idea of suicide." Xiaoqing said with tears in her eyes.
Hearing Xiaoqing say this, the emperor already knew in his heart at this moment that it must have been Du Nishang who sent someone to set the fire, and Yue'er's matter must have been caused by Du Nisheng, thinking of this, the emperor was a little scared.
Unexpectedly, Du Zhaoyi, whom he has always loved, turned out to be such a femme fatale, and a woman like Du Nishang is like a bomb in the harem, and it will be dangerous to keep her by her side at any time.
The emperor looked at Qin Liusu on the bed and asked Pan Mengyang, "Imperial Doctor Pan, will she wake up?" She's not dead, is she? But when Pan Mengyang heard the emperor say this, he was silent.
After a long time, Pan Mengyang knelt on the ground and said: "Weichen has done everything he has learned all his life, but he can't return to heaven, and I hope the emperor can mourn." ”
Hearing Pan Mengyang say this, the emperor's heart was very painful, he knew that Qin Liusu was dead, and it was impossible to wake up again, the emperor was a little flustered, and Gonggong Chen saw the emperor like this, and hurriedly helped the emperor to sit on the dragon chair in the Zichen Palace.
Three days later, Qin Liusu was buried by the emperor, Xiaoqing was arranged by the emperor to Liu Qingwu's Chenghuan Palace, for Qin Liusu, the emperor remembered that Qin Liusu had given birth to two princesses for her before his death, so he posthumously named Qin Liusu as Concubine Li.
The emperor released Yue'er from the cold palace and restored the title of Yue'er Hua Concubine Niangniang, but Du Nishang was demoted to a palace maid by the emperor and sent to the court.
When Yue'er learned that Qin Liusu had been buried by the emperor, she was sad for a while, looking at the Linzhao Hall that had turned into ashes, Yue'er sighed in her heart: "In this palace, except for Qin Meiren, who can speak to me, there is no one from now on." ”
Qin Liusu disappeared forever, and from then on, there was no such person as Qin Liusu in this world, Master Zhang and Yu Qingwan in Zhang's mansion knew everything that happened to Qin Liusu in the palace from Xiaoqing's mouth, and everyone felt sad about Qin Liusu.
The saddest thing is Zhang Sizong, looking back on Qin Liusu's life, Zhang Sizong feels that he is sorry for Qin Liusu, if there is an afterlife, he will never let go of Qin Liusu's hand easily, and he will never leave her, but Zhang Sizong knows that Qin Liusu's destined lover is not him, nor is it the current emperor, but someone else.
