Seeing that there was no response in the house, Na Xiu gently pushed the door in, and was about to blow out the flame on the candlestick for Yang Ziqi, when he suddenly found that Yang Ziqi was not asleep.

This is also not uncommon. Yang Ziqi doesn't like to fall asleep with the lights out, especially since she started to have insomnia. She only felt that the darker she was, the worse her insomnia became.

Instead, she told Ah Xiu to let her sleep with the lamp lit, because sometimes staring at the flickering candle flame would give her a sense of sleepiness.

Therefore, Ah Xiu slept much later than her almost every day, and every day after Yang Ziqi fell asleep, he quietly came into the house to turn off the lights for her, so as to prevent the bright light from waking her up again.

It is precisely because of this that she trusts Ah Xiu so much and treats her like a family member. Therefore, when she thought that Duguyi suspected Ah Xiu of poisoning herself, she couldn't believe it.

"Mother, you haven't fallen asleep yet." Ah Xiu has been away for a long time, and she is already sleepy, and she can see that Yang Ziqi has insomnia like this, so she can't help but comfort her with great concern.

"Ah Xiu, you go to sleep first, after guarding for so long, you should be sleepy, go to sleep first, don't worry about me."

"Niangniang......" Ah Xiu was hesitant, she was really sleepy, but she didn't go to sleep like this, so she replied to Yang Ziqi: "Niangniang, Ah Xiu is not sleepy, if you can't sleep, Niangniang, it is better for Ah Xiu to serve you to get up and accompany you out for a walk." ”

"Get up...... Going for a walk? ”

"Yes, Niangniang, there are a lot of stars in the sky tonight, I heard the mercy outside say that there is a good place to watch the stars in the garden, why don't you go for a walk with you."

"Looking at the stars?" Yang Ziqi was a little hesitant, only feeling that it was dark at night, and he didn't know if he could go outside, but he remembered that he couldn't sleep anymore and had never gone out at night, so he also listened to Ah Xiu's advice, and then asked Ah Xiu to help him get dressed and prepare to go out for a walk with her. When she went out, Ah Xiu put on a cloak for her to keep out the cold.

Looking up at the sky, there are really many stars in the sky, some far and near, some big and some small, embedded in the dark blue night sky, twinkling and flashing, very beautiful.

"Mother, you should also be out and about for the first time in the big night."

"Yes, Hongu...... I used to have a very regular schedule, resting at the end of the night, and basically never going out and walking around late at night. ”

"That lady should be the first time to see the stars in the sky in the middle of the night?"

"Yes, what about Ah Xiu, do you see it often."

"Back to Niangniang, Ah Xiu does see it often, and Ah Xiu has grown up watching these stars since he was a child."

"yes, then you don't sleep at night?" Yang Ziqi listened and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"No, sis. Ah Xiu was born in the countryside, and when he was still with his father and mother, he began to help his father and mother do work since he was a child, especially when it came to the busy farming season, the food he collected was dried outside, because he was afraid of rain, and he had to prevent small animals from birds and birds from stealing food, so he would often get up in the middle of the night and watch. ”

"So that's the case......" Listening to Ah Xiu talk about her previous life, although it was bitter, she could be happy with her family, Yang Ziqi couldn't help but think of herself again, on the one hand, she was distressed by Ah Xiu's fate, and on the other hand, she also had envy for her.

"Yes, Niangniang, when Ah Xiu was young, the stars in the slave's hometown were brighter and more than here."

As he spoke, Ah Xiu's face gradually showed a happy smile. Yang Ziqi also suddenly realized that a little girl like A Xiu, and many little girls like her who worked as slaves in the palace, were also part of countless families, and they were all people who worked hard for life, and they couldn't help but sigh again in their hearts.

"Mother, it's here." While the two of them were walking, they had unconsciously walked into the imperial garden, and Ah Xiu immediately pointed to a special pavilion not far away, and said to Yang Ziqi with a smile: "Niangniang, look, this should be the place to see the stars." ”

"It turned out to be over there, I really haven't been there on weekdays." While laughing, Yang Ziqi also said to her.

"Niangniang, you wait here now, the slave maid will go over and help you take a look."

"Okay, you go, watch your step."

With that, Ah Xiu walked forward. Looking up at the shining stars in the sky, Yang Ziqi suddenly felt that the trouble of insomnia had disappeared a lot, and he felt a lot more comfortable physically and mentally.

Looking around, I saw Ah Xiu standing in the pavilion for a while, and wiped the stool in the pavilion twice with his sleeve before he walked down.

At this moment, before Ah Xiu, who was far away, walked to Yang Ziqi's side, she suddenly felt a strong force behind her, and with her sudden scream, Yang Ziqi was immediately pushed to the ground.

Seeing this, Ah Xiu hurriedly ran over like crazy. I saw a black figure disappear into the imperial garden in an instant, and I saw Yang Ziqi fall to the ground and bruise his head. The two ends couldn't take care of it, Ah Xiu had to call Yang Ziqi, and when he saw that she still had a reaction, he immediately wanted to help her up.

"! Mother, are you okay, do you feel uncomfortable? Even though he was already scared, Ah Xiu didn't rush because of this, and first asked Yang Ziqi where he was uncomfortable.

"! Ah Xiu is helping you up now, can you move? ”

"Ah...... Ah Xiu, I'm ...... I'm fine, it's just that my stomach is ...... Stomach aches...... It hurts so badly that I'm afraid I won't be able to stand up, so you're ...... Go and call someone to come and help. ”

Yang Ziqi intermittently instructed Ah Xiu these words, while holding his painful abdomen with one hand, and using the strength of his other hand to make himself lean up, but he couldn't stand up.

Ah Xiu was very anxious, and immediately called someone according to her instructions, and the tranquility of the entire harem was broken.

Yang Zi period is half painful, half sober. Even at this moment when she was in pain and dying, she still thought about it a lot.

Her stomach hurt terribly, and she also thought about whether the child in her belly could be saved, it all depended on its creation.

But on the other hand, she suddenly felt her distress and reluctance to it. No matter who the father is, this is her child, it is a life, it is also a life that wants to be born, and she must keep it.

I don't know how long I waited, Yang Ziqi's eyes had begun to be in a trance, she tried hard to restrain herself, not letting herself fall asleep, she was in pain and sleepy on the other.

As for her eyes, she suddenly found something on the ground beside her, like red and pink, she stretched out her hand and reached for it, I was in my hand, I don't know if it was soft or hard, she couldn't control her consciousness anymore, she only closed her eyes and fell asleep, but she was still holding the thing in her hand.

By the time the early hours of the morning came, many people already knew the news of the queen's accident.

Because of Ah Xiu's anxiety, because she shouted too much and shouted loudly enough, many people were awakened from their sleep. Including Dugu Wing.

At this time when Dugu Yi was staying by Yang Ziqi's bedside, she had been asleep for a long time.

Fortunately, it was saved in time, thanks to Ah Xiu's busyness. Fortunately, the imperial doctor arrived in time, checked her pulse, administered acupuncture and medication, and took corresponding methods, so that Yang Ziqi's life was fine, and the child in her belly was saved.

I saw Yang Ziqi lying quietly on the bed, sleeping peacefully. Maybe she had too much insomnia and felt too tired. Maybe she just wanted to fall asleep like this, didn't want to wake up, didn't want to face such a cruel reality.

Dugu Yi gently stroked Yang Ziqi's forehead, and then to her cheek, her sleeping appearance was something that Dugu Yi had never looked at carefully. Seeing his beloved suffer like this, his heart was also distressed.

The poisoning storm that passed yesterday, the murderer has not yet found out who it is, and before a day has passed, someone actually killed her again. I'm afraid that this situation will make Duguyi lose his patience.

After thinking about it, Dugu Yi suddenly noticed a red purse placed next to Yang Ziqi's pillow, he picked it up curiously and looked at it, and then asked Ah Xiu on the side: "What is this, is it the queen's?" ”

Ah Xiu looked at it, and then replied to Dugu Yi and said: "Back to the emperor, this is not our mother's, since yesterday when the mother was pushed to the place, the mother has been holding this purse in her hand." The slave guessed that it should have fallen from the person who overthrew the queen's mother. ”

While listening to Ah Xiu, Dugu Yi took a closer look at the purse, only to see a few flowers embroidered on it, and then looked at it, between the branches and the feet, there was a word embroidered on the upper right side of the purse, but it was a "Fu" word.

A word "Fu", and a few flowers, Dugu Yi suddenly remembered that when she was in the Cuihui Palace yesterday, she heard Concubine Zhuang Fu Xing'er say that her purse was lost, so it seems that if you guess correctly, this purse is hers. The word "Fu" is the surname, and those flowers, white and pink, should also be apricot blossoms.

Fu Xing'er's purse was lost, but it was picked up when the queen had an accident, and Fu Xing'er had been alone yesterday. After thinking about it, Duguyi only felt that this matter was not simple, and there must be something strange in it.

Thinking of this, Dugu Yi asked Ah Xiu again: "Ah Xiu, what did you and the queen do in the imperial garden last night?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's the slave to blame for this." Hearing Dugu Yi's question, Ah Xiu didn't dare to hide anything, so he knelt on the ground and replied to him truthfully:

"Your Majesty, the slave doesn't hide it from the emperor, the queen mother has often had insomnia at night recently, and it has been going on for a long time. Last night, when the slave maid entered the house to turn off the lights for the mother, she saw that the mother was not asleep, lying on the bed, tossing and turning, and the slave and maid saw that the starry sky outside was very brilliant, so she thought of a way to accompany the mother out to see the stars. That's what happened. This is all the fault of the slave maid, please ask the emperor to punish the slave and maid. ”

"Looking at the stars?" Dugu Yi was a little puzzled, so he asked her again: "Why do you have to go to the imperial garden to see the stars?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the slave maid only heard the palace maid who guarded the door yesterday that the Moon Pavilion in the imperial garden is a good place to watch the stars, in order to make the mother happy, the slave maid took her over."

"You mean that the palace maid who guarded the door last night asked you to take the queen to the imperial garden to see the stars?" Hearing Ah Xiu say this, Dugu Yi couldn't help but feel strange: "You told the widow all what happened last night." ”

"Back to the emperor, that's it. The slave maid thought that this was indeed a good method, and without thinking too much, she took the mother to the imperial garden. It was dark at night, and it was the moment when the slave maid left Niangniang to help her watch the road, and Niangniang was pushed by a person. ”

"Who is that person, do you see clearly?" Dugu Yi asked again.

"Nope." Ah Xiu shook his head and replied: "When the slave and maid rushed back, I only saw a black shadow running away, and the slave and maid only cared about the mother, so they didn't chase the black shadow. ”

The queen ran to see the stars in the middle of the night, and at this time someone could come to harm her, which was obviously premeditated, and the person who pushed her was obviously in control of her whereabouts.

Listening to Ah Xiu say this, combined with his own speculation, Dugu Yi's inference was almost inseparable, and he immediately asked Ah Xiu again: "Then do you remember the palace maid who asked you to go to the Imperial Garden yesterday?" ”
