Lan Qi sank down, thinking that she couldn't rush to make Concubine Tong realize immediately, it must be the death of the concubine that stimulated her, if she wasn't quiet on weekdays, she would be fine, maybe she was trying to endure deliberately, once something made her unable to hold on, she might be about to collapse.

At this moment, he said gently: "It was you who told me that the queen mother was smiling when she died, and I believe that in addition to the regret that her life could not last long, she let go of everything in the world." Sister, you go back first, I'm busy here, I'll come to accompany you more, once the emperor decrees the matter of the concubine, someone should come to give you gifts and say goodbye, those tedious things, I will teach you what to do. ”

The weak man nodded tearfully: "Sister Concubine De, I'll be fine." ”

Lan Qi asked the subordinates of Chuxiu Palace to take good care of Concubine Tong, and only after seeing her leave safely did she breathe a sigh of relief, Lan Ying, who had been standing on the side, walked up, took out a handkerchief and shook off the snowflakes that fell on her sister's bun, and said distressedly: "Sister, the housewife, is really not good." ”

Lan Qi was stunned and disgusted: "My sister is just a concubine, how dare she call herself the mother of the house, you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the palace." ”

Lan Ying looked at her sister, didn't know what to think, sighed a little regretfully, and walked towards the gate of Xianfu Palace with her. Everything in the Xianfu Palace has been removed, most of the things used in front of the concubine have been put together, and the internal affairs office will write a list of valuables for storage, which will be left to the tenth elder brother in the future.

Small and scattered things, after waiting for Niu Hulu's family to collect a few things and bring them to the house, let the servants under them send them by themselves, and estimated that Zuo was just taking it for money, the concubine was crazy in front of her, her things were kept, and those palace maids and eunuchs were also afraid of madness.

Lan Ying carefully received a few things, made a list and reported it to the Internal Affairs Office, and asked her subordinates to take it back and take it out of the palace. When he turned around and saw his sister standing in front of the chaise longue in a daze, he came forward and asked, "What's wrong with my sister?" ”

Lan Qi had something crystal in her eyes and covered it with a handkerchief, "I'm fine, I feel a little sad when I think of the past." Looking at Concubine Tong's appearance, and Huanchun said that the concubines in the palace were abused these days, I think that in this palace, the status is really superficial, and whether or not she can live well depends on whether the master gives him a chance. ”

"The emperor treats his sister sincerely." Lan Ying was afraid that her sister would think about it, so she gently shook her and said, "Even my sister-in-law hurts as a sister-in-law, and my sister is still not satisfied." ”

Lan Qi smiled: "How dare you not be satisfied, just look at their situation and life, do you dare not be satisfied?" The emperor treats me well, I know, I am very happy and satisfied, but these things are really in front of me, I can't think of it as not seeing, and I am more or less involved, which will inevitably touch my heart. ”

Lan Ying smiled: "Now I can rest assured, the emperor always tells me to coax my sister to be happy, I said how can I coax, it will only work if the emperor coaxes?" The emperor said that I didn't hurt you, and said that he hurt me in vain. ”

Lan Qi said in disgust: "What do you two say in private? ”

Seeing that there was nothing to do here, the two of them were about to leave together, but a little palace maid came to the backyard, holding a bag in her hand and saying, "Concubine De Niangniang, Fujin, this is something in front of Aunt Dongyun, and it hasn't been taken away yet." ”

"The people who came to collect her didn't take them away?" Lan Ying asked, and ordered someone to pick it up, but Lan Qi said, "After all, it's something from the palace, let the Jingshifang send someone to record it, and then I'll ask someone to bring it to you and return it to her family." ”

Lan Ying had no objection, and went out with her sister, saying that Alinga had found Dong Yun's family and wanted to send her back to her hometown for burial, and the reward silver she took from her sister was given to her family.

On the way back to Yonghe Palace, Lan Qi asked her sister: "You said that Dongyun is loyal, does she want to return to her hometown, or is she buried with her master?" ”

Lan Ying smiled bitterly: "Who knows? I want to send her back to her hometown, reincarnate in the next life to find a good family, and stop being a slave. If you are with the burial master, will you still be the master and servant in the next life? ”

Lan Qi just listened, and her sister said regretfully: "Why did she want to be martyred, it was easy to live a few days of comfort." ”

"Maybe she thinks there's nowhere to go without the Forbidden City." Lan Qi pointed to Huanchun behind her, and said to her sister, "Huanchun said that she was homesick in the palace, but every time she went home to visit relatives, she wanted to go back to the palace within two days. ”

Lan Ying nodded and said: "Dongyun has been serving his master in the palace all his life, but he doesn't know what to do, he doesn't stay in the palace, he doesn't leave the palace, he only has ......" She sighed long, "It's a pity that he is a good person." ”

After the sisters went back to Yonghe Palace to talk, Lan Ying left the palace before the snowstorm, this winter was particularly cold, there was no sunny weather for several days, it has been gloomy and windy and snowy, catching up with the funeral of the concubine, and a child died in the fourth elder brother's house, Yonghe Palace couldn't lift the spirit, or Lan Ying came to sit for a long time, and it was a little lively.

In the evening, a word came from the study, saying that the emperor summoned all the elder brothers to go to the Qianqing Palace for dinner, so the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers did not come back, and Princess Wen Chen was also in Ningshou Palace, because of the heavy snow, the queen mother did not let her out, so she lived there with her sister in the past few days. Yonghe Palace was deserted, and Lan Qi told Huanchun not to prepare too many meals for her, just eat two bites, and she didn't have much appetite.

As the sky grew dark, she took a copy of a Buddhist scripture in front of the bookcase, and after praying, when the ink dried, she put the scriptures away, and calmed down to do these things, and her mood was slowly calm and stable.

After a short time, Huanchun came in, holding an unsigned letter in his hand, and told his master: "The people in the worship room checked the things left by Dongyun and found this letter in the secret compartment of a jewelry box. ”

Lan Qi took it and sat under the lamp to see, the envelope was sealed, it had been brittle and yellow, I don't know how many years it had been placed, she looked at Huanchun, Huanchun said softly: "The people in the respectful room said that they must always ask the mother to read it, so as to determine whether they can be taken out of the palace with those things, if there are any inappropriate words in the letter, it will not be good to spread it." ”

"It's because I know this rule that I didn't let Lan Ying take things away directly." Lan Qi said solemnly, "I'm also ruthless, the emperor said that Dongyun knows too much, so I can't keep her alive, I have this vigilance in my heart, and I don't even let go of the things behind her." ”

Huanchun reassured: "This is your responsibility. ”

"yes." Lan Qi sighed lightly, then picked up scissors and cut open the envelope, just touched the inside was not too thick, opened it and sure enough, there were only two thin pages, the handwriting was from the hand of a woman, and the letter "Long live respectfully, the concubine Niu Hulu suddenly ...... it" made Lan Qi frightened.

She hurriedly closed the letter, didn't look down at the contents, and said to Huanchun: "Go and tell the people in the Jingshifang that the letter must not be passed on, and other things will be sent to Alinga's mansion, and the matter of this letter shall not be known to others, otherwise it will not be spared." ”

Huan Chun responded cautiously, and immediately went to order, Lan Qi held the letter in her hand, full of curiosity to read it, but she still solemnly put it away and pressed it on the table with a jade ruler. Then call the green beads and purple jade, and ask them to pick up the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers, and send a message to Liang Gonggong, saying that the earth dragon of Yonghe Palace is newly repaired, and it is very warm, so let the emperor come up to warm his body.

And this night, because the emperor summoned his sons to dine together in the Qianqing Palace, the prince and the eldest brother were also there, and the fourth elder brother would not be absent, and the emperor also knew that the fourth elder brother had just lost a daughter, and after a few words of appeasement, he didn't ask him more about his family, but it could be seen that Yinzhen was a little absent-minded, and looked out at the sky from time to time, as if he was going to leave the palace earlier.

As Xuan Ye thought, Yinzhen wanted to go home earlier, Song's house found out the drugs to induce labor, the doctor said that it was those things that caused Song Gege to give birth prematurely, Song insisted that Li Fangfujin hurt her, Li Fangfujin was frightened and moved the fetus, and his body was also very bad, Yuxi was entangled by them and committed an old disease, and the family was uneasy.

Now the family affairs are still closed and there is no rumor, but if it continues like this, sooner or later it will be known by outsiders, and it has been less than a year since Yinzhen set up his own door to have such a thing, and he himself feels that he can't raise his head, and he doesn't dare to say it to Eniang, let alone Huang Ama.

At this time, in the fourth elder brother's house, each room and courtyard are brightly lit, and it is also the time for dinner, Sifujin here is a few kinds of porridge and side dishes, she has no appetite and can't eat at all, her mother feels that Luo was invited by the fourth elder brother to take care of her daughter, just braved the snow from Li Fang Fujin and walked over, shook off the cold in front of the door, and walked to her daughter's bed with the hand stove handed by the girl, she was eating porridge from the hands of the nurse, and when she saw her mother coming, she said: "Eniang also go to eat." ”

Jue Luo went to wash his hands, came to replace the nursing mother, continued to feed his daughter porridge, and comforted her: "You have to eat no matter what, you don't have a good body, how can you deal with them jumping up and down?" It stands to reason that I shouldn't have asked, don't call Eniang for this kind of thing next time, outsiders will gossip, and Concubine De may not be happy. ”

Yuxi said weakly: "It's just that Yinzhen asked you to take care of me, otherwise he wouldn't be at ease in the court." ”

Jue Luo said: "The fourth elder brother really cares about you. ”

Yuxi was fed a few more mouthfuls of porridge by her mother, she was really tired of it, she shook her head and refused to use it again, she felt that Luo Shi did not force her, and just wanted to call the girl to serve her mouthwash, but she heard her daughter say to herself: "Who would have thought that I would not be able to keep the child, if I knew that the child could not be saved, I would not let the two of them fight, and now I can have a daughter." ”

Jue Luo's was shocked when he heard this, first calmed down and asked the girl to come to serve and rinse his mouth, and then excused Fujin to rest, so that the idle people retreated, and then returned to his daughter, and asked anxiously: "Yuxi, what did you just say, you can't just say this." ”
