The emperor couldn't stand it, and waved his hand to pull Yuyan. Mama Chen couldn't help but say: "Jiagui is here to blame the slave and maid, and the slave and maid dare not argue!" It's just that if it weren't for the noble man who had the idea of harming people, Brother Jiu would still be well raised by your side, and you wouldn't be able to beat the chicken and scold the dog every time you go to the elder brother's house. You can't get rats in your palace! ”

Yuyan cried so much that her eyes straightened, and the emperor said coldly: "Dare to speak out if you do something wrong!" Li Yu, these two cheap maids did not take good care of the prince, resulting in an untimely death, and they were immediately dragged out to break their hands and feet and then died. ”

Seeing that the nurse was dragged out, Yuyan hugged the emperor's leg and cried: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Concubine Chun didn't have a good heart, she always suspected that the concubine provoked the eldest brother and the third elder brother to fall out of favor with you, so she sent a jade bottle to harm the ninth elder brother, and the concubine's ninth elder brother died so unjustly! ”

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Okay." I have seen this jade bottle, it is a tribute sent by the Li Dynasty, and the pure concubine can't do anything. If the pure concubine is at fault, it is only the fault that she cares too much about your son. I looked at the appearance of the two nurses, thinking that you usually don't treat them well, so they dared to neglect Brother Jiu. Don't cry like this, you still have Yonghui and Yongxuan. ”

Yuyan cried hoarsely and fell to the ground: "Your Majesty, even if the concubine is wrong, the concubine's love for her son is not wrong!" The concubines have followed you for so many years, serving you wholeheartedly and giving birth to an heir for you. Now that the concubine has lost even her young son, what is the point of the concubine living without you by her side! With that, she got up in a daze, and slammed into the wall.

Fortunately, Li Yu's eyes were quick and he grabbed it. When the emperor saw her like this, he was angry and pitiful, so he instructed Qi Lu: "Jiaguiren is too sad, give her some tranquilizers." Qilu agreed, and the emperor said: "Li Yu, wait a minute, send the noble family back to the palace, and then notify the Internal Affairs Office to handle the aftermath of the ninth elder brother." With that, he kept the last warmth in the palm of his hand, stroked the already cold little face of Brother Jiu, a trace of tears flashed in the corners of his eyes, and he went out with tired steps.

The sudden death of Brother Jiu made Yuyan unspeakably sad. Because of Yuyan's fall from grace, Brother Jiu has not been named, and the emperor was also sad at this time, and ordered Brother Jiu to be buried in the Prince Garden of Duanhui, and everything was mourned according to the identity of the county king. And every time Yuyan sees the emperor, she must suspect that it is the ninth elder brother who was assassinated by Lu Yun, and the emperor will snub Lu Yun, and even less go to Zhong Cui Palace.

Lu Yun had no way to complain, so she had to pull Ruyi and cry: "The imperial concubine must be the master for me." Although the jade bottle was given by me, who knew that the beast had climbed into it. The emperor feels sorry for Brother Jiu, and he can't let me suffer this injustice. ”

Although Ruyi didn't believe that Lu Yun would harm the Ninth Elder Brother, she had no way to talk about it, so she had to comfort her with kind words: "Don't be sad Pure Guifei, the emperor is also distressed by the Ninth Elder Brother, and I am afraid that the noble people will make trouble again when they are sad, so I will be cold to you and avoid suspicion." ”

Lu Yun cried and complained: "Now I know. The emperor was skeptical of such a shadowless thing, so it can be seen that he never believed us. I have served the emperor for more than ten years and given birth to children for him, but I can't even get this trust, how can I gain a foothold in the future? It's no wonder I can't even protect my children. ”

Lu Yun said that she was sad, but it was not Ruyi's heartache. It turns out that she is no different from others.

However, Yin Wan dissuaded from the side: "Concubine Chun can see it through, but don't be too sad." The emperor is like this to you, and he is not like this to the nobles. She sighed, "Maybe except for Empress Xiaoxian, there is really no one who can go to the emperor's heart." ”

Lu Yun became more and more sad when she heard this: "So what is my life for?" Children cannot be sheltered, and kindness cannot last long, and there is no position of this concubine, but she is alone. Why did I come here? ”

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad. Ruyi's sadness and doubts in her heart are just like Lu Yun. What did you get in this life?

Although the emperor didn't like Yuyan framing Ruyi, he didn't feel pity when he saw her so sad for his beloved son. When Li Chao heard about the untimely death of the ninth elder brother, he wrote a letter to express his condolences, and the emperor could not ignore Li Chao's face too much. Lian Ruyi also advised: "For the sake of the past, there are also Yonghui and Yongxuan, the emperor should go and comfort the nobles." ”

Li Yu also said: "Jiagui is thirty-seven years old, seeing that his young son has passed away, I am afraid that he will not be able to give birth to a prince in the future, how can he not be sad and crazy." ”

At that time, Jiang Youbin was beside Ruyi to ask for peace, and after listening to this, he watched the emperor leave, and then sneered: "Gonggong Li's words are the most leaky, not only to be a good person, but also to remind the emperor of the old age and decay of the nobles." ”

Ruyi smiled slightly, and lowered her head to embroider the picture of spring branches stretched on the red sandalwood embroidery frame: "Then tell this palace, what did you do?" ”

Jiang Youbin smiled: "You can't hide anything from the imperial concubine." Wei Chen couldn't do cruel things that hurt people, but he just added an extra taste of Coptis to Brother Jiu's cold medicine. In this way, Brother Jiu couldn't drink it, and those nursing mothers who were beaten and scolded by Jiagui also refused to drink it, so Brother Jiu's illness was naturally difficult to heal. However, Coptis chinensis has the effect of clearing away heat and dampness, purging fire and detoxifying, and it is the most effective in treating high fever and dizziness and sleeplessness. Wechen didn't take the wrong medicine. ”

Ruyi smiled like smoke: "Use a taste of Coptis chinensis, let Jia Guiren also taste the bitterness of you and the heart of Coptis chinensis." ”

Jiang Youbin said distressedly: "The thought that my heart-wrenching legs can no longer walk like ordinary people, Weichen is heartbroken. Originally, I just wanted Brother Jiu to suffer a little illness, but I didn't expect him to be frightened and die. He scoffed, "Probably this is the so-called retribution unpleasant." However, the emperor is now willing to go to Qixiang Palace to see her, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. ”

Seeing the emperor's Ming Huang Imperial Driving into Qixiang Palace, Yin Wan stood under the moonlight, feeling the warm night breeze in April with the fragrance of magnolia flowers happily blowing on her cheeks. There are clouds in the sky, covering half of the crescent moon, the half moon is reflected on the red wall, floating and rippling in the sparkling light and shadow of the glazed tiles that are like brocade, and gradually there is a fragmented trend, and the beautiful face is also a little broken jade-like shadow.

Lan Cui was quite worried: "The emperor has been visiting Jia Guiren every day these days, and listening to the tone of Jin Zhong, the emperor is only afraid that she will be promoted." Little lord, will we make wedding clothes for others in vain? ”

Yin Wan smiled with a shallow smile: "If you are promoted, you will be promoted, and if you visit, you will visit, and the faces of the emperor are all for Li Chao, not just for Jia Guiren." Besides, she's thirty-seven. Woman, when she is over forty, she is like a flower that blooms and fails, and the flower is not red for a hundred days, and she can have a few days. The palace is young and can tolerate the emperor's momentary pity for her. ”

Lan Cui said "yes". Yin Wan smiled and took her hand and pushed a string of red gold eight treasure bracelets on her wrist. Lan Cui hurriedly retreated, and said eagerly: "The little master rewards, and the slaves and maids dare not accept it." ”

Yin Wan said with a smile: "You did a good job this time, and this palace should reward you." ”

Lan Cui pursed her lips and smiled: "The slave maid just caught a hungry mouse and quietly stuffed it into the jade bottle." In the dead of night, the beast smelled milk, and how could he not hurry to come out. The jade bottle has a slender mouth and a big belly, and if it is stuffed in, it can't climb out of the bottle, so it can only knock over the jade bottle and escape. ”

Yan Wan smiled: "The so-called beating mice startled the jade bottle, that's it." You are well done. If the emperor wants to blame for this, he can only blame the pure concubine for being courteous. ”
