Shainin flipped through it and picked a simple look, feeling that she was doing a placket style that she should be more sure of, and she could also do it, but it was a bit difficult to do it or something. Eighty-one middle school? Wenwang ???.? ８?１?ｚ??．? But Princess Yuyao also followed to look, but she pointed at a diagonal placket, and she also clicked twice on it, indicating that she had taken a fancy to this.

Don't be kidding, just doing the placket and trim can kill her, Xie Ning must not be able to get along with himself like this.

Fang Shanggong couldn't help but smile and motioned for Qingmei to take Princess Yuyao out.

"This moon-white material doesn't look good with dark threads."

"I picked a azure." The dark line is naturally not good-looking, if it is the same color, the moon white is already light, and the line of the same color is also used, and it is faint.

Fang Shanggong nodded and said, "Azure and azure are good, and they are very worthy." ”

After picking the line, Fang Shanggong said softly: "Concubine Xian heard that she was very sick, and she passed the order early in the morning. ”

"Sick again? Is it because of the rain and cold? "Xie Ning didn't take it very seriously, Concubine Xian can stand up all year round, and there are only a handful of days when she can go out, and illness from time to time is commonplace.

Fang Shanggong said: "This time is different. ”

Shainin's hand stopped.

Fang Shanggong continued: "Concubine Xian vomited blood last night. ”

Xie Ning's hand trembled slightly, the two threads were not pinched, and they fell from his hand lightly.

"Why didn't you call a doctor last night? Didn't hear any news either. ”

Fang Shanggong shook his head: "Now there seems to be nothing in the garden, in fact, it is heavily guarded, Concubine Xian Xu doesn't want to cause trouble, or it may be that the person who is waiting for him wants to invite the imperial doctor but is delayed because of the rain, in short, the news did not reach Lord Li until dawn." ”

Xie Ning sighed: "The emperor should also know, right?" ”

"I guess I know. Alas, the bad things all came together. The matter of Princess Mingshou here has not been pressed, if Concubine Xian has a bad one, it will be too bad in the second half of this year. ”

"Concubine Xian didn't go to Changchun Garden the day before yesterday, hasn't it been good since then?"

Fang Shanggong also shook his head: "There are too many things before and after, and it is difficult for slaves and maids to pay attention to them one by one." However, a few days later, I heard that Gao Jieyu passed on the Qin of the imperial doctor, and Li Zhaorong was also frightened, but he didn't hear that Concubine Xian's illness had worsened again, who would have thought that it would suddenly become like this. ”

"Gao Jieyu's injury is very serious?"

"What's amazing, according to the imperial doctor, it's just twisting the tendons, and the rest of the place is just rubbing a little skin."

Xie Ning is still concerned about Concubine Xian's illness, although there are not many interactions, and the total number of words the two have spoken is not much, but Xie Ning feels that Concubine Xian is not a difficult person to get along with. On the contrary, she is not like the rest of the palace, competing for favor, power, and wealth. Xie Ning felt that she had to stay here in the palace, for the sake of the family, for something else, but not because of the emperor, not because she wanted to stay here.

Although the two didn't have any friendship, at least Concubine Xian never spoke ill of her, and was always hostile to her like others, harboring malice towards her.

I just didn't expect that she would suddenly become so sick.

Why, exactly?

Xie Ning couldn't figure it out, Concubine Xian's health was not good, but she was able to come all the way from Beijing to the garden, and even attended a banquet of Princess Mingshou in a good manner, although she looked weak at that time, there was nothing else unusual. When Princess Mingshou was in turmoil, she didn't go to Changchun Garden, and she wouldn't be frightened by reasoning, but what happened when she suddenly vomited blood? She's just weak, not sick.

The situation changed quickly, Bai Hongqi came over to pass the word, and Xie Ning hurriedly packed up and went to Huaishoutang. When she arrived in front of Huaishoutang, she saw that the royal chariot was also there.

The emperor specially arranged Huai Shou Tang for Concubine Xian to live, and it was hard to guarantee that he did not want to use this place name to add blessings and longevity to her.

Xie Ning hurriedly entered the courtyard gate.

The eunuchs and palace maids knelt on the ground in the dark outside, and Bai Hongqi served Xie Ning and walked all the way inside and entered the concubine's bedroom.

The curtain was halfway hung in the house, much darker than outside. Xie Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw the emperor sitting on the edge of the couch, holding one of Concubine Xian's hands.

Xie Ning slowly walked to the front of the bed, Concubine Xian's face was yellow, her eyes were slightly bulging, and she was staring at the emperor tightly.

It looked a little scary.

How can a dying man have such a persistent and fanatical look?

The emperor turned his head and glanced at Xie Ning, and said softly, "You're here?" Sit down. ”

Concubine Xian's eyes seemed to roll, and Xie Ning didn't know if she had seen herself or heard what the emperor said.

"What you ask, I will answer you, and Xie Jieyu is here to testify, I will not regret what I say."

Concubine Xian's throat came out of a muffled voice, and at this moment, Xie Ning could also see that she was happy. She heard what the emperor said.

What did she ask the emperor to promise? She has no children to entrust, does she want to ask the emperor to take more care of the Yang family after her death?

Shainin's hand trembled slightly, she didn't experience death, she was still young when her father went, but her mother and grandmother left one after another, Shainin remembered it clearly.

This kind of thing is not something that you will get used to after experiencing it. On the contrary, this kind of thing can never be used to. Life and death are separated, and there is nothing more cruel in the world.

The emperor whispered: "I always remember that it was you who blocked a sword for me back then, and your body completely collapsed because of it. Actually, I already knew about it. ”

Concubine Xian's eyes could still move, and the emperor continued: "It's not what others said, you have never done anything sorry for me, on the contrary, it is the queen mother, it is I who owe you and the Yang family." Your heart is not in me, I can feel it, and then I will know who the person in your heart is. Since then I have not called you again, for I know that you do not want to. ”

Concubine Xian let out another short strange voice, but judging from her gaze, the emperor's words relieved her.

"You've had a hard time all these years, I know, you can go with confidence, don't be bitter anymore."

After saying this, the emperor did not say anything more, he turned his head and glanced at the door.

Actually, no one came in outside, it was very quiet, and if someone approached, the sound should be very clear.

Xie Ning also understood in her heart, but when she saw the emperor turn her head, she couldn't help but turn her head to look.

Of course I didn't see anything.

When she turned back again, Concubine Xian was no longer breathing, her eyes had not yet closed, and a little tear was flashing in the corner of her eye, like a precious, shining gem.

The emperor slowly put her hand back into the quilt and slowly stood up.

Shainin hurriedly stood up and grabbed one of his arms.

The emperor turned his head to look at her, the corners of his mouth hooked, but he still failed to smile.

"I'm fine, do you think I want someone to help me?"

Xie Ning didn't say anything, but he didn't let go of the hand holding him.

"I'm a little sad indeed. She entered the mansion very early, I was not the emperor at that time, she, the queen, and the concubine were all the same age. ”

The queen and concubine are no longer there, and now Concubine Xian is gone.

Xie Ning couldn't say how uncomfortable he felt in his heart.

There is sadness for Concubine Xian, but more for the emperor.

The depression in the emperor's heart, she could feel it. I can't tell you how to feel uncomfortable, and I can't get rid of it.

It was as if she heard footsteps, from far and near, very hurriedly.

You can't run in the palace, and it's the same in the garden.

Who is in such a hurry?

Is it Concubine Xian's maiden relative?

The footsteps were very fast, and they had reached the door.

Xie Ning was stunned as soon as he looked up.

She recognized the person who rushed into the door, it was Zhang Qianheng, Zhang Yuma.

He looked at the emperor and Xie Ning, and the look on his face had already made Xie Ning understand everything.

He forgot to salute, and the emperor didn't care, but said, "She just went." ”

Zhang Qianheng is such a strong person, as if he was beaten down all of a sudden.

He did not fall, but the light in his eyes had dimmed and gone out.

"Go see her."

Zhang Junheng slowly moved his steps and walked inside, while the emperor and Xie Ning walked out of the house.

Concubine Xian has other men in her heart, and the emperor has long known about it.

How did they meet? Maybe it's a childhood sweetheart, or maybe it's a glimpse of it when you're young, and it's love at first sight?

But Concubine Xian was assigned to marry the emperor, and Zhang Jiheng became Princess Mingshou's concubine.

"I already knew, and I don't blame her. But ......"

Xie Ning said softly: "Don't blame yourself too much, the first emperor and the queen mother were both here at that time, and the matter is not for the emperor to decide." ”

"yes."

But after all, knowing one more secret adds an extra layer of burden to my heart.

Just like Xie Ning, before she knew this, she would not be in such a bad mood when she thought of Concubine Xian and Zhang Jiheng. And the emperor knew it, but he couldn't change what was a foregone conclusion, and for him, this burden has been pressing on his heart all these years.

Even the Son of Heaven has a lot of helplessness.

She knew about Ming Shou's rebellion, and she was furious. Before you came just now, she begged me for forgiveness, begging me to forgive Zhang Qianheng and spare his life. ”

It turned out that Concubine Xian was asking for this.

"I didn't intend to kill him."

This Shainin believes. Maybe Concubine Xian didn't believe it, so the emperor asked Bai Hongqi to pass the word, asked Xie Ning to come over, and said that she was a witness, so Concubine Xian was relieved.

Suddenly, there was a suppressed whimper from inside the room.

Xie Ning's heart jumped violently, the voice was not high, but it was like a knife, tearing people's hearts and lungs apart.

It was a man's desperate cry.

This is a pair of lovers who were separated alive before they were alive, and they didn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool when they were alive.

If he had arrived a moment earlier, she would have seen him again.

She hurriedly raised her hand to wipe her tears, the emperor's movements were faster than her, and carefully wiped away her tears with his fingertips: "Look at you, you are so soft-hearted." ”

Xie Ning said softly: "The concubine is too useless. ”

The emperor took her in his arms: "I am very lucky, I am much luckier than him." ”

"The concubine also thinks she is lucky."

In this bleak and sad moment, they are glad that they have not experienced life and death with each other, and they have not been tormented by the long lovesickness that they cannot stay together.
