219 Nightmare Town
has lost too many children, and in the face of the early death of a child, Xuan Ye already has a thick layer of scabs like armor in his heart, which can make him no longer feel sad easily, but everything in front of him makes the armor that protects his heart crack and shatter, as if the sharp pain that tears his heart alive, and the pain makes it difficult for Xuan Ye to control himself.
But Huanchun's crying suddenly woke him up, and the emperor calmed down, and before he could walk to Lan Qi, he went to Huanchun's front first, and said with a heavy look in his eyes: "Don't cry." ”
Huan Chun was stunned, covering her mouth and not daring to make any more noise, Xuan Ye returned to Lan Qi's side, the person on the bed did not cry, but the tears couldn't be stopped, she was trembling all over, and the pain in Xuan Ye's heart was even more twitching.
Holding the person into his arms together with the child, Xuan Ye kissed Lan Qi's cheek and whispered in her ear: "She is our daughter, she has not experienced the hardships of the world, and she is the most blessed child in the world." Lan Qi, you are also the best lady in the world, we will still have children, we will also have daughters, I promise you, our daughters, I will never let her marry and kiss far away, let them always be by your side. ”
Lan Qi leaned weakly on Xuan Ye's shoulder, crying one after another: "The nurse said that the princess wants to live, and she has been trying very hard to live...... Your Majesty, our daughter is so pitiful, it's me who is not good, it is that I didn't raise her well. ”
"Don't blame yourself, my daughter will be sad, she survived so hard just to see you and me, isn't it?" Xuan Ye had tears in his eyes, and his voice was choked, "My daughter is so brave to face life and death, you have to live well for her." ”
Lan Qi cried, but Xuan Ye reached out and gently covered her mouth, obviously she also had tears flowing down, but she said calmly and seriously: "Don't cry, don't let people outside hear you crying." I...... Please one thing. ”
The woman in extreme grief suddenly saw the seriousness in the man's tears, and the emperor's words "begging" were so abnormal, she was stunned for a while, but she heard Xuan Ye say: "The matter of my daughter's loss, I will report it out every other day, there is the most important thing in the court right now, I don't want Concubine De's loss to be talked about by them, they just need to remember first, Concubine De gave birth to a princess for me." Lan Qi, I know that this sentence is false and hypocritical, but I am indeed sincere, if you don't agree, I won't embarrass you. ”
Lan Qi looked at Xuan Ye blankly, she didn't seem to understand the emperor's words, Xuan Ye explained again: "I will let people bury the child secretly, it's just everything in etiquette, I will wait a few days, I won't treat our daughter badly, but I have to wronged you for the past two months." ”
The room was quiet for a moment, and Lan Qi finally spoke: "If the emperor thinks it is appropriate, the concubines have no objections." ”
This kind of answer sounds emotionless, but emotionlessness is already a situation that Xuan Ye is ready for in his heart, how can he ask someone to happily agree to you, and Lan Qi's temperament will never show disappointment on his face, Xuan Ye knows that he treats her too much, and every word he says is so hypocritical, but he has no choice, his heartache is no less than Lan Qi, but the country is important.
"I'm sorry for you." Xuan Ye said.
Lan Qi's emotions in her heart were hooked, and she held her mouth to prevent herself from crying, but the tears were gushing and trembling all over, and Xuan Ye was terrified, and even hugged her and said: "I don't do it anymore, don't cry, my heart will be broken." ”
But after crying bitterly, the person in his arms gradually calmed down, sobbed and said: "Just do what the emperor wants, if her daughter knows that she can still do something for Amma, she will definitely be happy." In the past two months, the concubine will recuperate, and the concubine will definitely raise her body, and the emperor agreed, and we will have a daughter. ”
Xuan Ye squeezed her hand tightly and nodded heavily: "There will definitely be." ”
On this day, the emperor left Yonghe Palace safely, and the people outside thought that the princess was not very good, but there was no bad news, the little princess seemed to be trying hard to live, and the people outside could not enter the Yonghe Palace, and the people inside did not come out, so they could hardly inquire about anything.
After the secret burial, although it is difficult to have a secret in the deep palace, but the emperor really wants to do a drop of water, and it is true that no one can notice, not to mention that it is easy for such a young child to be taken out of Yonghe Palace, but the child's future affairs are low-key and simple, and Prince Yu will personally send the little niece to the temple on the outskirts of Beijing, and bury her secretly to surpass the dead.
On the day when the child was finally taken away, Lan Qi cried so much that she fainted, and when she woke up, she saw Xuan Ye by her side, and the emperor said to her in a commanding tone: "Don't cry anymore, you promised me and promised my daughter, take care of your body." ”
Lan Qi still remembers saying to Huanchun that for the sake of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, she would not cry in front of people. She hoped that she wouldn't be worried about Xuan Ye, how could she have thought that when she really faced him, she couldn't hide her sadness at all, Xuan Ye was the person she could rely on in this world, and she was the person she could entrust her body and mind. Even if Xuan Ye ordered her, he still couldn't stop his tears and sadness, but the emperor was not irritable, and accompanied her hour by hour, only waiting for her to sleep quietly before leaving.
In the first seven days of the little princess, the emperor came to Yonghe Palace almost every day, he came to accompany the sad Lan Qi, but outsiders looked at it as if because the princess was weak, the emperor came to care, and after a few days, there were still no rumors in the palace, and everyone thought that the little princess was still alive.
As time went by, everyone's curiosity faded, and gradually some people wanted to visit Concubine De, but the Queen Mother in Ningshou Palace never let go, always saying that Concubine De was weak and not suitable to see guests, even if there were concubines to ask for advice, the Queen Mother also prevaricated and said that it was good that she had been there, so let everyone not worry.
For example, Concubine Wen, after asking the Queen Mother for peace this day, proposed to visit Concubine De, the Queen Mother perfunctory her, and was rejected like others, thinking that she would let Dong Yun prepare a gift before going out, if she got permission, she would go directly, and then she came back suddenly, and saw Dong Yun waiting in front of the door with a pale face, and said strangely: "Everyone is rejected, you won't be so surprised, right?" ”
"Mother, you come with the slave." But Dong Yun nervously pulled her up and walked to the hall, so anxious that Wen Guifei couldn't step on the bottom of the flower pot under her feet, and entered the house suspiciously, Dong Yun took her to the bedside, lifted a ball of yarn quilts piled up on the bed, and there was a white doll in it, Wen Guifei didn't see it clearly at first glance, and when she got closer, she was so frightened that she stepped back again and again, and she didn't stand firm for a while and fell down directly.
Dong Yun hurriedly came to help her: "Niangniang, are you okay?" ”
"How—How can there be such a thing?" Concubine Wen Guifei was so frightened that her face was bloodless, and she grabbed Dong Yun's collar, "What is this?" ”
In this matter, Concubine Wen Guifei called the Jue Chan clan, and the Jue Chan clan was unprepared to see the things in this nightmare town and couldn't help but be frightened, and on the doll that wrote the eight characters of the birthday, several people had silver needles pierced on the life gates, and there were blood stains on the doll's body, which were left by Dong Yun's hand being pierced.
Let's say that after Dongyun prepared a gift for the master to visit Yonghe Palace, she remembered that she said last night that the bed was stuffy, so she wanted to turn over a set of cool silk mattresses to come out, and when she reached out to dig it out in the cabinet, her hand was pricked by a needle, and she thought that what needle and thread were left in it, and when she turned it out, she was so scared that her legs were weak, and she finally looked forward to the master's return, and sure enough, Wen Guifei was also scared half to death.
Concubine Wen said with tears in her eyes: "Could it be that this thing is harming me?" ”
Jue Chan is following Rong Ruo to see the world, there is no shortage of such nightmare techniques in the palace struggle in history, but the ghosts and gods are credible or not, most of them are just used to deter and restrain people's hearts, Jue Chan and Rong Ruo are not believers, and at this moment they also said to Wen Guifei: "This kind of thing is just a legend, no one knows whether it is true or not, don't think about it first, and you look at this birthday, it is not yours." ”
Dong Yun also came up to look at it, nodded and said, "It's indeed not Niangniang's birthday." ”
Concubine Wen didn't understand: "It's not mine, so why is it in my room?" ”
Jue Chan thought about it again and again, first asked Dong Yun who could move Wen Guifei's bedding and clothes, let her pay attention, and then said to Wen Guifei: "Since it is not your birthday, I don't want to rely on the art of Wei Zhen to harm you, that is, I want to set up a blame and let the court law punish you." ”
Concubine Wen's face was as pale as paper, and she asked word by word: "Cure my crime?" This is the sin of killing the head or even destroying the door, who has such a deep hatred with me? ”
Jue Chan said: "When it comes to sin, it is naturally capital punishment, but if you don't care about the crime, you can never recover." You first let Dong Yun inquire about the birthdays of several ladies in the palace to see which one it is. Don't be too afraid, now that we find out first, we will no longer be passive, and slowly find out who instigated it, and then see if we want to report it to the two palaces. What if people are waiting for us to find out and set up another trap? ”
Concubine Wen nodded again and again: "I listen to you, I will send someone to investigate, but ......" she frowned and hated, "But my ability is limited, I used to rely on the family, and now if I want to investigate carefully, I have to rely on them." ”
"Then rely on this time, after that, it's a big deal to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and the emperor won't care about your relationship with the family for a while, not to mention that the concubine really cut off contact with her mother's family, which is also unfilial." Jue Chan was very resolute and comforted Concubine Wen and said, "The matter has come to this point, you must be bolder." ”
In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of July, as soon as the Midyear Festival passed, when the weather gradually cooled, the fourth elder brother in the Chengqian Palace fell ill, the delicate child had a fever for days, and he would talk nonsense when he was confused, and one night he was even more frightened and convulsed, and the imperial concubine waited day and night, and she couldn't help but cry when she carried someone, for fear that Yinzhen would not be able to survive this illness and would leave her.
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor were very nervous, and used all the manpower and material resources of the Imperial Hospital to treat the fourth elder brother, but fortunately, God blessed it, and after four or five days, the child's fever subsided, and the imperial doctor finally dared to give the imperial concubine a reassuring pill.
Originally, it was common for children to be sick, and they survived, and the child grew up like a rebirth in a few days, and it was naturally unfortunate to not be able to survive.
But on the day when the imperial concubine came to tell the emperor that the child was recovering, she found something in the town of Weizhen in Chuxiu Palace, and what was written on the dirty thing was the birthday of the fourth elder brother.
