After all, Concubine De is just Concubine De, whether it is the court or the harem, the world outside the Yonghe Palace will not revolve around her. The sudden tragedy did catch everyone off guard, but it only took a day or two for others to calm down, and everything returned to its original state. The world thinks that in the emperor's heart, how can a child's life be compared to the country's society, they only have the emperor in their eyes, and they have never ignored his existence as a husband, father, and descendants.

At present, there is still the Empress Dowager's lingering sickbed, Xuan Ye should not have left Beijing at this moment, but the old man called his grandson to him and said: "The child is gone, you can't get him back what you do, in this case, if you are not strong, let Lan Qi go to rely on?" If she misunderstands that you are ruthless, then she is sorry for your affection. In fact, at this juncture, it is useless for anyone to persuade her, even if she wants to be strong in her heart, the pain is like a spell around her body, just like the body is sick and lingers, only when the body relieves the pain on its own, she can slowly figure it out. Now if you go to comfort her or even force her to be strong, there will be no result, what she wants is Yinzuo, and none of you can replace it. ”

Xuan Ye heard it with tears, and the Empress Dowager trembled and reached out to hold his cheek, "My grandson, but I haven't cried for a long time, obviously I have lost so many children, and it is the first time I have seen you in such pain." Sure enough, there is a difference between relatives and aliens, and I can understand you Amma, what you do to treat a child who is only three months old so kindly. ”

Xuan Ye's tears didn't fall, he just couldn't hide his sadness, the dignity of the emperor and the respect of the man couldn't allow him to have tears, that day he had already shed all his tears in front of Lan Qi.

"How's it going, do you know who did it?" The Empress Dowager asked.

Xuan Ye's expression was cold and deep, and he nodded slightly: "Some eyebrows." ”

"Can it kill them?" The Empress Dowager's eyes were full of murderous energy, and she couldn't wait to crush the murderer to ashes.

But the emperor shook his head, a cold light in his eyes reflected like a sharp blade, piercing and sharp, "I won't let Yinzuo die in vain, and I won't let them live well, keep these minions, and do something for this court and this country, but no matter how good they are, I won't let them live well." ”

The Empress Dowager knew that under the emperor's words, he hid his helpless trap, but to see the emperor so calm and so proud, this is the responsibility that an emperor should have. Yinzuo can't die in vain, he understands better than anyone else, but the court can't be chaotic, he is more helpless than anyone else.

"If Lan Qi pesters you and wants to give an explanation for the child's death, if you don't move her, let me persuade you." The Empress Dowager let out a long sigh, "But if she doesn't pester you for an answer, you should also take the initiative to tell her what is going on, don't be afraid that she will not dare to face it, she still has Yinzhen and Wen Xian waiting for her to protect." ”

Xuan Ye agreed, and when he mentioned Yinzhen, he frowned slightly and said: "These days, the relationship between Yinzhen and the imperial concubine is very bad, that child is sad that Yinzuo is gone, why do you want to do that to the imperial concubine?" I don't know how to face their mother and son, can I continue to be embarrassed like this and send Yinzhen back to Yonghe Palace? ”

"I can't tell!" The Empress Dowager immediately stopped her grandson, "You can't mention this, Yinzhen is already her life, if you take Yinzhen away, she will no longer be the current imperial concubine." Xuan Ye, the harem, like the imperial court, is never something that can be decided with a few simple words, you must consider the overall situation. What's more, Yinzuo is Yinzuo, even if you send Yinzhen back, it won't help. ”

Xuan Ye just said it casually, he didn't plan to do it, he knew the imperial concubine better than anyone else, if he took Yinzhen away, he couldn't cure Lan Qi's injury, and it would drive the imperial concubine crazy, and then the palace would really want chaos in the world.

This matter is settled in Cining Palace, in fact, there are some rumors in the palace in recent days, after all, the emperor loves Concubine De can be seen by everyone, and now she has lost her son, although Princess Wenxian can be brought back to Yonghe Palace anytime and anywhere to raise, but for concubines, having a prince is the greatest pride and reliance, and naturally they will keep their eyes on Chengqian Palace, and they all feel that if Concubine De is really obsessed with the emperor, the imperial concubine may not be able to beat her pillow wind.

These gossips, naturally will also drift into the Chengqian Palace, the imperial concubine has long been worried about the drastic change in Yinzhen's temperament, this time she is even more afraid of losing, every day she wakes up worried that she will be robbed of her son, and even once reluctant to let him leave the palace to go to the study, under the pretext that it is "not clean", in fact, she is afraid that Yinzhen will leave in the morning, and go directly to Yonghe Palace at night.

In late May, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the original child got up in the morning and the study was bright, this morning went out, was already staring at the bright sun, although Yinzhen did not talk to the people in the Chengqian Palace, but never delayed in the study, the emperor has arranged other places as the study, the murder place has long been forbidden to enter, but after all, every day will pass by and see, Yinzuo died in front of his eyes, how can he linger.

On this day, as in the past, he had to go to the study, Yinzhen walked to the door of Chengqian Palace, and waited for Xiao Hezi to play the umbrella, and someone ran out in a panic in the main hall, passing on the information of inviting the imperial doctor, and the little eunuch hurriedly ran out of the fourth elder brother, Yinzhen waited by the door, and the palace maid who came out saw that the fourth elder brother was still there, and came over and said: "Niangniang wanted to get up and send the fourth elder brother to the study, but she fainted before leaving the bed, and the slaves and maids couldn't wake up when they pinched people, and they were really going to die." ”

A look of horror flashed over Yinzhen's small face, and after being slightly stunned, he immediately rushed into the dormitory, and sure enough, he saw that the imperial concubine closed her eyes and clenched her teeth, as if she was dead, Yinzuo was also like this that day, but Eniang did not vomit blood.

"E-Niang, E-Niang......" The child threw himself on the side of the bed and shook his mother, Qinglian hurriedly pulled away to persuade him not to move, and then waited for the imperial doctor to come to the rescue, after a long time, the imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief, and her blue and black face gradually became qi and blood, Yinzhen listened to the imperial doctor and said to Qinglian, "Niangniang hasn't eaten for a long time?" The weather is so human, and the vitality is exhausted. ”

Qinglian responded: "Niangniang can't eat, she said that she doesn't feel hungry, her heart is blocked, and she won't be hungry at all." ”

Yin Zhen raised her eyes to look at Qinglian, Qinglian avoided her gaze uneasily, she did deliberately say it to the fourth elder brother, but the imperial concubine Niangniang ordered that they were not allowed to talk too much in front of the fourth elder brother.

The imperial doctor retreated, and the imperial concubine opened her eyes and saw her son on the edge of the bed, and saw that his head was full of sweat and there were tears on his cheeks, knowing that her son felt sorry for herself, she should have been happy, but she couldn't help crying, don't look around and say: "Yinzhen, go to the study, it's delayed, Xiaohezi should be beaten again." ”

Yinzhen didn't leave, her eyes were misty with tears, she reached out and grabbed the imperial concubine's arm and shouted, "Eniang." ”

The imperial concubine hurriedly wiped away her tears, but no matter how she tried to hide it, she couldn't hide the haggard and pale on her face, she smiled hard: "What's the matter?" You tell E-Niang. ”

"E-niang, don't leave me." Yin Zhen cried and fell on his mother's chest, the imperial concubine was stunned, and carefully reached out to hug him, for fear that he was too anxious and the child would leave, just like when he came back with Concubine Rong that day, he coldly refused his hug.

The imperial concubine said with tears in her eyes: "Silly boy, how could E-Niang leave you?" ”

Yinzhen cried and begged: "Don't get sick, don't die." ”

"E-Niang is just tired, silly child, don't think nonsense, you listen ......"

"Eniang, I'm sorry." Yinzhen raised her face full of tears, her eyes were sad, and she was attached to the imperial concubine, "I'm afraid that Huang Ama will send me back to Concubine De's mother, I'm afraid that E-niang will be sad, so I ignore E-niang, I think, I think E-niang will hate Yinzhen when the time comes, so I won't be reluctant." ”

The imperial concubine looked at the child in astonishment, half-open and couldn't say anything, Yinzhen cried and begged her: "I don't want to go back to Yonghe Palace, Eniang, can you let Yinzuo come back?" I told Yinzuo to let him take care of Concubine De's mother, Eniang, I want my brother to ......"

The imperial concubine hugged the child and cried silently, she thought that she had been abandoned by her son, for fear that more actions to keep him would be more disgusted, she thought that her son would leave soon, she knew that Concubine De was pitiful, but she didn't want to lose Yinzhen, Yinzhen was all she had.

Holding the son in her arms really , the imperial concubine can better understand the pain of Concubine De, but she can't resist her selfishness, she can't be so kind and generous, so she can only promise her son: "E-Niang will not let people take you away, you will always be E-Niang's son." ”

Heart disease also requires heart medicine, the imperial doctor always likes to say this, but this time the Chengqian Palace is safe, than the emperor wants to force her to send the fourth elder brother back, she is more afraid that she will be abandoned by her son first, and this time the heart will fall back into the stomach. Others looked at it, although it was a good thing, for some reason, it seemed that Concubine De was even more pitiful.

On the same morning, under the scorching sun, the two shoulders walked slowly on the palace road, and the nobles of Juezen went to Ningshou Palace with Concubine Wen to ask for peace, and they were about to return to Xianfu Palace at this time. Although she was pregnant, the concubine said that at this time there was chaos in the palace, and she should confess the dignity of the concubine so that people would know her existence, so even if the weather was hot, she would go out with her stomach.

However, halfway through, there was a sudden noise behind Concubine Wen, and her shoulders slowly stopped, she turned around and looked, and saw that the shoulders of the noble people were crooked, and it seemed that a rod was broken, but fortunately she didn't fall down, but she must not sit down again.

Juechan was quickly helped down, and she stepped forward and said to the concubine: "It's too hot outside, Niangniang, go back first, and the concubine will go back after walking slowly." ”

The concubine nodded, but ordered: "It's too hot, don't get sunburned, wait in the shade for a while, and let them send another shoulder ride." ”

After saying this, Concubine Wen and her entourage continued to walk forward, and the nobles of Juezen saw those eunuchs fiddling with their shoulders, as if they still wanted to repair, so they waited with Xianghe in the shade nearby. Not long after sitting down, she saw a team of guards coming, and she recognized the person who was the leader, but she hadn't spoken for many years, and she used to be with Rong Ruo often, and Juechan also called him "Brother Cao".

Cao Yin came over alone and said respectfully: "The minister has sent his subordinates to take another shoulder, and the nobles will wait a minute." ”

Jue Chan looked at Cao Yin, his eyes were a little strange, as if hinting at something, he glanced at the fragrant lotus beside him, Jue Chan gradually understood, but she was conflicted about whether to listen to what Cao Yin said, just at this moment, Cao Yin took the initiative to say: "I saw that there was a fan left on the shoulder, why don't the girl take it and fan it for the nobleman to drive away the heat." ”

Xianghe was simple, and hurriedly agreed to run over there, and as soon as she left, Cao Yin hurriedly looked around, turned his back to the person on the other side of the shoulder, quickly stuffed a letter to the Juezen family, and said softly: "Your Excellency, don't worry, the matter of the shoulder is also arranged by the minister, I want to wait for you here, there will be no extraneous branches, you will know when you go back and read the letter." ”

Jue Chan pinched the letter and was at a loss, seeing that Xianghe was about to come back, he could only roll it up and hurriedly stuff it into his sleeves, without waiting for her to ask, Cao Yin had already replied: "It's Rong Ruo's letter, he had a hangover at Chen's house the day before yesterday, and asked the minister to help him after waking up." ”
