In the mourning hall of Dong E's mansion, Mrs. Eshuo and Mrs. Badu came to persuade Jia Yin to go back to her room to rest, but Jia Yin insisted on keeping vigil for her father's ghost.

The step-wife said: "Don't talk about resting or not resting, Jiayin, how can a pregnant woman do such a thing, you listen to Eniang's words, go back to the palace." If these are taboos in the palace and the queen mother is angry, how can you be good? You're leaving, don't let him rest assured. ”

Mrs. Badu was behind, her eyes rolled slightly, and she stepped forward and said: "Sister-in-law, it's okay for others, Jia Yin is the person on the tip of the emperor's heart, and besides, this matter is hidden from the outside world, who knows." As for those ghost powers, they are not trustworthy, even if there is, the eldest brother will definitely bless the imperial concubine and the little brother in her womb in the sky. ”

The step-lady sighed, seeing that Jiayin's eyes were empty, as if she hadn't heard what they said, and knew that it was useless to persuade her, not to mention that the emperor personally sent her, and if something happened, there was also an emperor who stood up to it.

The two were about to leave, and Jia Yin spoke: "Eniang, where is Feiyangu?" ”

The step-lady said, "Still outside, with your uncle." ”

Jia Yin looked at her: "Find Feiyangu, I have something to say to her." ”

Madame Badu frowned, did not dare to say anything, and went out with Madame step-Madame, and not long after, found Feyangu.

The younger brother is thirteen years old, and he looks like the deceased Eniang, but he is tall and follows Amma, and his skin is tanned, and he looks like a disciple of the general.

"Sister, how is your body? You are pregnant with a child, you still have to take care, I can handle the family affairs. Feyangu said, "If anything happens to my sister, Amma can't look at it. ”

"Feiyangu, Ama didn't live to bring you into the office in person, although the emperor will give you a knighthood, but in the future, there will be many ups and downs in the officialdom and military camp." Jia Yin asked her brother to sit in front of her, reached out to brush away his hair that had been scattered all day, and asked her brother to turn around and comb his braids with her own hands.

"I'm not afraid, sister, in a few years, I will be able to walk in the yamen." Fei Yanggu said, "I will be like Amma, a great general, to protect this family and my sister." ”

"My sister is all right in the palace, you don't have to worry about it." Jia Yin said, "My sister is favored by the emperor and has a noble status, and she will definitely be able to protect you in the future, but my sister is very confused and doesn't know what to do." Therefore, my sister has some expectations and requirements for you, and if you promise me today, you must not go back, okay? ”

Feiyangu nodded: "Sister, you say, I must remember everything." ”

Jia Yin said: "Don't do anything that is not allowed by the law, corruption, bribery, personal gain, or bullying, don't do it. Brother, can you promise your sister? ”

Feiyangu turned around, clenched his fists seriously, and said: "Sister, I will inherit the style of Amma, be honest and honest, be a good official of the court, and be a brave general." ”

Jia Yin said with tears in her eyes: "You are the hope of Dong E's family, the hope of Ama and Eniang, Feiyangu, from now on, my sister will only have you." ”

Feiyangu nodded again and again, but said: "My sister still has the emperor, and the child in your belly, the emperor treats my sister so well." Sister, I'm about to become an uncle. ”

Jia Yin suddenly, lowered her eyes and said, "Yes, there is still ...... Emperor. ”

Fei Yangu was young and careless, and he couldn't see the lack of confidence in his sister's eyes, and after persuading his sister to go to rest to no avail, he decided to join his sister in keeping a wake for his father.

After a long night, Jia Yin's body really couldn't hold on, and when the day was about to dawn, she was forcibly sent back to her former bedroom by her stepwife.

The next day, due to busy government affairs, Fulin had no time to get out, so he could only send Wu Liangfu to see if Jiayin was okay.

Wu Liangfu was a eunuch, so he naturally didn't dare to ask more, and when he left, he met his eyes with Mrs. Badu, and Mrs. Badu took advantage of the send-off to approach him and asked softly: "Does Chief Manager Wu have any orders?" ”

Wu Liangfu said: "The emperor also knows about the change of doctors after the spring, are you careful?" ”

Madame Badu smiled coldly: "Don't worry, nothing goes wrong." ”

And today, Tong Guogang brought his younger brother to mourn, Feiyangu and Guowei were like brothers and sisters, heard that the two brothers were going to pay homage to Amma's remains, thinking that the emperor was not there, and his sister was also recuperating in the boudoir, so he took it upon himself and took them with him.

However, Tong Guogang brought the most senior post-mortem from the Criminal Department, and under the cover of Tong Guogang, he did some exploration of E Shuo's body, but the time was in a hurry, and he was afraid of being discovered, so he could not conduct an in-depth investigation.

However, Tong Guogang thought of taking away some medicinal residues and unboiled medicinal materials from Eshuo Mansion, and asked the doctor at Tong's house to check them.

Sure enough, after checking, something went wrong, Eshuo's prescription was right, the medicinal materials that could be retained, and the residue was judged, among the decoctions that Eshuo was taking, aconite was a medicine, and raw aconite was used.

In the decoction, the raw aconite seems to be added in the second half, and it is not thoroughly decoctioned, if it is not for a special therapeutic purpose, this decoction must be poisonous, and people who are seriously ill cannot afford it, and it can be fatal.

The entourage said that the deceased did not show signs of dying from taking the poison for a while, but it could not be ruled out that taking a small amount of poison for a long time would cause illness and death, but if the autopsy could not be performed, it could not be asserted.

Obviously, it is impossible to autopsy and autopsy, and the most important thing is that the people of Dong E's family don't seem to suspect it at all.

"Are you going to report to the emperor?" Mrs. Tong asked her husband and son, "If the emperor knows that Concubine Ai's father was poisoned, it will not be difficult to dissect E Shuo's body." If it's too late, it's going to be cremated. ”

Tong Tulai waved his hand and said, "Don't say, this matter ends here." ”

Tong Guogang asked his father: "Don't you even say Yuanxi?" ”

"Don't say it, your sister is kind-hearted, she can't help it, letting her know this secret will become a burden for her." Tong Tulai said, "Dong E's family is afraid that it can't be peaceful, although I promised E Shuo that he would take care of Jia Yin, but I don't know how long I can live, I promised him, but I didn't say that you should also promise him." ”

Seeing her husband coughing, Mrs. Tong stepped forward to pat him on the back and said gently: "I don't know how long you can live, but for the rest of the day, please live well, leave me a good thought, and don't make Yuan Xi regret." ”

Tong Tulai held his wife's hand, looked at his eldest son and said, "Our family, we must do our best to protect Yuan Xi and the third elder brother." ”

In the palace, Yuan Xi said to the emperor yesterday that she would never leave Jingren Palace again, and she really wouldn't go out.

Today, Barya waited left and right in Cining Palace and couldn't see her coming, thinking that Yuan Xi was sick and wanted to come to find her, but was stopped by Yu'er and said: "She wants to come, so she naturally comes, she is the emperor's concubine, not a servant who serves me, and you are the same." ”

Barya pursed her lips and couldn't help but say, "Queen Mother, I'm afraid that for the sake of the queen's mother, Yuan Xi will offend the emperor." ”

"As concubines, you should support the queen and solve problems for the queen." Yu'er said coldly, "It's not a big deal. ”

Balya didn't dare to say anything more, now that Aunt Su Mala is not here, and Yuan Xi is not here, she is taking care of the affairs of Cining Palace alone, and she really has no bottom in her heart. I really don't understand, how did it become like this, so how happy it is to live for a few years.

Fu Lin was busy with government affairs all day long, and he couldn't spare a moment, in fact, last night, Yuan Xi's words, every word pierced his heart, he didn't want to be said, for Jiayin lost his father, he even abandoned the government.

But no matter how busy you are, there is always a time to stop, and when you stop, your eyes are full of yesterday's scenes. Jia Yin, since she left the palace, she hasn't looked at him anymore.

"Jiayin ......" Fu Lin closed his eyes in pain.

"The queen of the Qing Dynasty, isn't she as good as a minion?" But last night, Yuan Xi's words lingered in his ears.

Soon, the sun set and the moon rose, the night was shrouded, the doors of the palace were locked, and the huge palace was silent, only the guards patrolled the fire candles, and there was the sound of footsteps.

In Jingren Palace, Yuan Xi leaned on the head of the bed, he hadn't eaten all day, and his body had a reaction in the end, feeling hungry, feeling weak and weak, and his mouth was bitter.

Suddenly there was a light outside the door, and after the sound of hurried footsteps, the lights went out one after another, and the palace door opened and closed, as if someone had come in and exited.

Yuan Xi unconsciously got up and walked out, and a figure came forward from the door and walked behind the screen.

The person who can come in the middle of the night, except for the emperor, there will be no one else, not to mention the breath on the emperor's body, Yuan Xi is very familiar.

"The emperor doesn't want to see me, so when you come at night, you can't see my face, right?" Yuan Xi said.

The person behind the screen, his body trembled, and after a moment, he slowly walked around.

There is only moonlight through the glass window in the room, which is dim and dark, and you can see a figure at a glance, but you can't see your facial features clearly.

The two stood facing each other, and could hear each other's breathing, Yuan Xi felt something strange, reached out and stroked Fu Lin's cheek, and the warm tears that slid over his fingers.

"The emperor is crying?" Yuan Xi choked, "What is the emperor crying about?" ”

"I'm sorry." Fulin said, "I hurt you by saying something like that yesterday. ”

Yuan Xi shook his head: "I know, what you said was angry. ”

Fu Lin's voice was trembling, although he couldn't see his tears clearly, but the sad and helpless breath could be felt by Yuan Xi.

"Why, whatever I do, it's not right." Fulin asked, "What...... It's all wrong. ”
