Yi Huan was at the emperor's side, and he won the favor of the saint. She sometimes speaks sharply, and she is not warm to others, because of the emperor's love and connivance, no one dares to care clearly. Over the years, in the eyes of others, she has always lived an indulgent life, but in the back of others, she has such a bleakness.

Ruyi looked at each other gently, stroked Jiaoyan's petals, and said softly: "That's because you don't like to go to other people's palaces." I have served the emperor for so many years, except in my palace, it is rare to see you and others. ”

Yi Huan took the small silver scissors, carefully trimmed the flower branches, sprinkled a little water on the flowers and leaves, and turned his head and said: "I am willing to associate with my sister, I have a similar temperament." Rather than spending all my energy and associating with irrelevant people, I should pick up myself. ”

Ruyi looked at the Shulang Palace, the layout was atmospheric, not like an ordinary woman's boudoir fragrant and beautiful, except for the shelves full of poems and books, there were not many splendid decorations. "Except for you, there is no one in the palace who can clean himself up so cleanly and comfortably."

Yi Huan said: "When people are clean, their hearts are also clean." ”

"We are in this place, and there is no need to talk about the dirt and blood around us, and sometimes it is inevitable that even our own hands are not clean. It is rare to be able to ask for a little cleanliness of the heart. Ruyi Waner smiled, saw that she had a book of Wen Tingyun's poems in her hand, and said, "That day in front of the emperor, he just mentioned Wen Tingyun's poems, so you pay attention." ”

Yi Huan's face was as red as a stream: "My sister has been busy, and it is rare to have time today, so she has paid attention to these things for me." I just listened to the emperor and flipped through it. ”

The two were talking, when suddenly Sanbao ran in and said, "Little master, little master, it's not good." ”

Ruyi lowered her face and said, "It's good to reply, it's so frizzy." ”

Sanbao wiped his sweat and said: "Back to my mother's words, the big brother came to the mansion to spread the word, the big brother is seriously ill, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

Ruyi got up, got up too fast, and his body shook unconsciously, and then said, "Does Concubine Chun know?" ”

Sanbao said: "The imperial concubine who came to report first to the eldest brother Fujin, Zhong Cui Palace is afraid that he doesn't know yet." ”

Ruyi hurriedly said: "Concubine Chun is the adoptive mother of the eldest brother, so let Lingzhi hurry up and report to Zhongcui Palace." You personally go to the Yangxin Palace to tell the emperor, and then order the sedan chair to be prepared, and the palace will go to see Yonghuang. ”

Yi Huan saw that Ruyi was worried, and also sighed: "Since the death of Empress Xiaoxian, Yonghuang has been punished, and he has become ill after all. A good prince, alas...... Sister, be careful on the road, don't be too anxious. ”

Where can Ruyi talk to her in detail, and she is busy going out of Chuxiu Palace. Just passed the passage of Changkang's right door, but saw a group of elderly palace maids standing under the red wall, all of them in their forties, all of whom continued to stay in the palace to serve after leaving the palace. A group of people were listening to the transfer of eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Ruyi only glanced at it, and Yun Zhi said: "Back to the imperial concubine, this is a group of palace maids newly transferred from the Old Summer Palace by the Internal Affairs Bureau, who are used to doing things and are very sophisticated, and they are going to be transferred to the palaces after the training." ”

Ruyi nodded, and didn't want to ask. Suddenly, a palace maid in blue among the palace maids ran out and shouted: "Father-in-law Zhao, why did you take their silver and transfer it to the East and West Sixth Palace, we don't have the money to give you the silver, so you dial us to go to the cold palace on an errand." There is no such truth in the world. ”

Ruyi heard the word "cold palace", touched the old things, and unconsciously looked at it twice. The father-in-law Zhao was five big and three thick, pulled the palace maid and dragged her on the ground twice, grabbed her hair and slammed it against the wall, and shouted: "You palace maids from the Old Summer Palace, outsiders dare to sing insider plays, lard blindfolded hearts, right?" My father-in-law is willing to accept money to give you face, you can't afford to give it because you have no face, and you dare to call it? No one will know if you are killed. ”

Although Ruyi hurried to Yonghuang's mansion, she frowned, and called the little eunuch Xiao An in front of her and said: "Xiao An, go and pull that Zhao eunuch over, saying that his domineering and domineering palace knows about it, let him go to the Shen Punishment Division to receive fifty sticks, and he doesn't have to be an errand in the Internal Affairs Mansion from now on." ”

Xiao An hurriedly stepped forward, and when Zhao Gonggong saw Ruyi coming, he was already frightened and his legs were weak. Ruyi was willing to listen to his instigation, leaving Xiao An to go to the Internal Affairs Office to inform the allocation of the palace women's selection, and he was about to leave. The palace maid who had just been beaten hurriedly walked to Ruyi and said, "Thank you to the imperial concubine for presiding over justice." ”

Ruyi saw that she was beaten, but her expression was very stubborn, and she was not afraid at all, so she said: "You are a straight person, but you just shout out everything, and you are not afraid of your own losses?" ”

The palace maid was neither humble nor arrogant: "It doesn't matter if the slave maid suffers a loss, she can't let the sisters who have no money suffer." ”

Ruyi saw that she was beaten to a pulp, but she looked carefully but she was also dignified and neat, and she was generous, like an idea, thinking that there was no one around her who was capable after hurting her leg, so she said: "You are a disadvantage with such a temperament, but this palace likes it." Wait for the wash and go to Yikun Palace to wait, stay in the palace and be on an errand. So she said that, and hurried away.

When they arrived at the Yonghuang Mansion, all the Fujin Gegeges were kneeling on the ground, crying prostrately. Lu Yun had already arrived first, and she was with Ilari in front of the bed, and when she saw Ruyi coming in, she had to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said solemnly: "The imperial concubine is safe." ”

Ruyi saw that there was a miserable mist in the pavilion, and hurriedly pressed Lu Yun's hand and said, "At this time, what are you doing with these false texts." After saying that, he turned his head and asked Ilari urgently: "Has the Imperial Doctor seen it?" How can I say that? ”

Ilari cried like walnuts in his eyes, listened to Yi Yi's question, hurriedly stopped his tears and stood up, and said: "Back to Xian Niangniang's words, the imperial doctor said that Yonghuang is haunted by nightmares, restless day and night, and his heart is intermittent, I am afraid that it is ......."

Ruyi's heart sank, and her face was a little bad: "Don't talk nonsense!" Yonghuang is only twenty-three years old, how can he be disconnected? ”

Ilari couldn't say a word, and whimpered: "In the past two years, Yonghuang has not been very good, he has been worried, as if he is always turning some thoughts, and he refuses to tell his concubine. I woke up from my dreams several times, and I always cried that I was not filial. A few days ago was Empress Xiaoxian's death, and Yonghuang's nightmare was even more powerful, saying that he was going to find Empress Xiaoxian to theorize. The concubine body was also frightened......"

Before Ilaris finished speaking, he had already received a heavy slap on the face. Lu Yun's face turned pale, and he pointed at her angrily and said, "After all, you didn't take care of Yonghuang, and you still blindly talked nonsense!" Yonghuang is the most filial, what does he have nightmares? What are you going to find the deceased Empress Hyohyun? Confused and blinded, he came to pull Yonghuang unfilial piety with a red mouth and white tongue! According to the palace, Yonghuang's body is not good, and it is all because of the instigation of you people who don't know the severity of the situation in Su Ri that he did not take care of his body. ”

Lu Yun has always had a gentle temperament, but now that she has a sudden attack, Ruyi naturally understands that it is because Ilaris's words are not good. If such words fall into the ears of the emperor, and he remembers the unfilial piety of Yonghuang and Yongzhang in front of the spirit in the past, it will make the emperor even more unhappy.

Ruyi hurriedly grabbed Lu Yun and persuaded: "Sister, don't be angry. The daughter-in-law is sensible, but she is just in a hurry to speak inappropriately. She stared at Illari and said softly, "Don't mention anything like that again." Ruyi looked at Yonghuang who was sleeping on the bed, and saw that he was covered with sweat the size of a bean, and he was sweating layer after layer. She looked distressed, and hurriedly took the silk and wiped it carefully for him, feeling more and more guilty in her heart. Yonghuang seemed to feel her movements, and he was slightly awake. He moved, suddenly opened his eyes, stared at the top of the tent, and said loudly: "Eniang, Eniang, don't go, you wait for your son, I feel sorry for my son." ”

Lu Yun hurriedly sat on the edge of the couch, took Yonghuang's hand and wept and said, "Yonghuang, Yonghuang, Eniang is here." Ruyi heard him cry out and mourn, and her heart was touched for a while, and she called earnestly: "Yonghuang." ”

The two called a few times, but Yonghuang didn't see any response. Lu Yun was a little sneering: "What Eniang? I'm afraid that we are all pretentious, Yonghuang is calling his own mother, Emperor Zhemin, and the concubine. After that, he sighed, "Although I have raised him for all these years, this child is not willing to call me 'Eniang'." ”

Ruyi's eyes were sour: "Yonghuang is a filial child." ”

It just so happened that the imperial doctor came in, rolled Yonghuang's eyelids, hurriedly poured a bowl of decoction and medicine, kowtowed, and said: "The imperial concubine forgives the sins, the pure concubine forgives the sins, and the eldest brother is afraid that he will return to the light." If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. ”

Ruyi heard this, and turned her face and whimpered. After pouring the decoction, Yonghuang really sobered up, his eyes gradually became bright, and he stared at Ruyi and said, "Mother is here." ”

Lu Yun sighed and said: "Yonghuang has also been raised under the knees of the imperial concubine, I am useless, the two children have been reprimanded by the emperor, and they can't hold their heads up." If you have anything to say, the imperial concubine will accompany you and talk about it. After saying that, she took a few Fu Jin's hands and went out together.

The pavilion is quiet, like a pool of lonely deep water, and the shadow of the sun falls on the ground, like a ghostly dream. Yonghuang coughed a few times and said softly, "Thank you mother for still thinking about her son." The grace of nurturing when he was a child, his son has never dared to forget. ”

Ruyi burst into tears, stroked his forehead and said softly, "Good boy." The mother also remembers that your child is good at everything, but the mother and son are indebted. Although you have your mother and Chun Niangniang to take care of you, if Emperor Zhemin's concubine is still there, you won't be like this. ”

Yonghuang gasped for breath, two weak blushes appeared on his pale face, and after a long while, he breathed a sigh of relief: "My son knows that he can't." These days, I have been dreaming that Eniang is silent to her son with tears, and it always seems that she has many grievances, but she can't say it. A few days ago, Empress Xiaoxian died, and her son dreamed that Empress Xiaoxian fed E-Niang something to eat, and E-Niang bled after eating. Mother, son knew in his heart that it was Empress Xiaoxian who killed Eniang! ”

Ruyi looked at his high cheekbones, her eyes sunken deeply, and said sadly: "The death of Emperor Zhemin's concubine is already strange, and my mother has heard such gossip. But Yonghuang, gossip can't be overdone, once you pass your heart, you can't earn it, and you become your inner demon, you will kill yourself. ”

Yonghuang whimpered and cried, like a child lost in the middle of the night. "The son lost his mother since he was a child and was bullied, and the son wanted to fight very much, so he also used his mother's thoughts. But Huang Ama scolded his son for being unfilial to Queen Xiaoxian, and his son really couldn't be filial. It was she who caused me to suffer at my brother's death, it was she who killed my mother, and it was she who gave her so much food that was poisonous to restrain each other, soft-shelled turtle and amaranth, wheat dong and crucian carp...... All kinds of things will accumulate poison if they are eaten together. My mother was slowly poisoned by her like this, how can I be filial to her...... I...... I...... Don't, don't be in this filthy place! ”

Ruyi hugged Yonghuang, her heart was full of sorrow, and there were thick ink-like doubts like splashing on the plain white silk, flowing rapidly, spreading and seeping. She couldn't hold back a heart that was about to jump out, and clasped his hand tightly and said, "Who told you that these foods are poisonous against each other?" Concubine Yu told you that you were Empress Xiaoxian who killed your mother, but she never knew these details. Tell Mother, who told you this? ”

Yonghuang was anxious for a while, a mouthful of phlegm poured up, and coughed: "Jia...... Ka ......"

After many years of walking through the fog, there was finally a faint glimpse of the brightness, Ruyi asked again and again: "Is it Jin Yuyan?" Isn't it? Yonghuang desperately opened his mouth wide, shaking his head to nod. Seeing him like this, Ruyi was so frightened that she couldn't care about anything, and hurriedly called: "Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor!" ”

Yonghuang struggled in her arms, like a fish out of water, lingering. His eyes drifted away, and he finally closed them with great difficulty, returning to eternal peace. The past and the past came one after another, like the dust surging with the wind in the autumn dusk, so light that it barely had half of its strength, but it lingered and wrapped around the body, suffocating the heart, lungs and snorts, and giving birth to a kind of outright panic and powerlessness. It seems that when he was still a child, Yonghuang was only seven or eight years old, and he was tired of school, so he leaned on Ruyi's arm and fell asleep.

The imperial doctor pulled his robe and hurried in three steps and two steps, touched Yonghuang's snort, and said dejectedly: "The imperial concubine is mourning, the eldest brother has gone." ”

Ruyi gently touched Yonghuang's face and whispered, "Good boy, sleep, sleep, you can see your Eniang." She covered her mouth, suppressed the whimper in her throat, and finally let the tears flow freely in the silence.
