Hongli said: "But if you can't find out, you can't blame me for not doing my best, and you have to be considerate of my embarrassment." ”

Hongyan leaned on his chest and said: "The emperor is the support of the concubines, and the emperor should not be troubled by the concubines, the concubines don't count on you, who else can they count on?" There may really be no need to investigate this matter, but if someone is really making trouble behind the scenes, even if the results can't be found, our attitude is right? ”

In front of the palace gate, Chief Manager Wu secretly glanced at it, and saw that the two imperial concubines were snuggling together, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and turned around to see Cherry smiling, he said angrily: "You can still laugh, Long Live Lord ran out angrily, my heart is hanging." It's okay now, if the emperor and Niangniang are still alive, there is still a reliable person in this palace. At this age, if you don't accompany each other in a down-to-earth manner, do you still expect the young ones to know the cold and the hot? ”

"Ouch, the chief manager, why don't you say it in front of the emperor?" Cherry smiled, "After all, it's the boss, we don't even dare to think about it, let alone say it." ”

Manager Wu scolded: "You still think you are a little girl, no light or heavy, isn't this all for the good of the master?" ”

Before the words fell, the little eunuch beside the emperor ran in a panic, holding an eight-hundred-mile urgent fold with both hands and sending it to Chief Manager Wu, who quickly turned around and handed it in.

Hongyan saw that there was a fold, she didn't dare to pester the emperor, wiped her tears and stood aside, and when she looked up and saw the emperor's face tense, she couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, is something wrong?" ”

Hongli said sadly: "Sebuteng Balejur is seriously ill, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this summer." ”

"He is in the prime of life, how can he ......" Hongyan couldn't believe it, although she hadn't seen him for many years, but she and Hejing have been in correspondence, Hejing's helplessness and resentment towards the palace have long faded, and the words are often filled with the happiness that her husband and children bring her, and in the first month, people from the grassland came to congratulate and ask for peace, and said that the emperor was asked to choose a suitable show girl for Princess Hejing's eldest son.

Hongli sighed: "Things that don't go well always come one after another. He instructed Hongyan, "You should first send someone to prepare and open up the vacant princess's mansion, and in case Sebutemba Lejur falls ill and dies, I will take her back anyway." Although she is a princess, the widow will inevitably be bullied, and it is also a sad situation there. ”

Who would have thought that such a thing would happen suddenly, and for the time being, it would not be known to outsiders, Hongyan couldn't imagine how she would treat her when he returned, she hadn't seen her for so many years, and she couldn't even imagine what she looked like now.

Hongyan only said this to Cherry, Princess Hejing was the person Cherry once admired, and when she heard that the princess might be widowed, Cherry couldn't help crying. Hongyan sighed: "We can't be sad and sad, you see, as soon as you frown, bad things will come to the door, and people really have to be happy to have good luck." Let's pack our things first, it's time to go back to the Forbidden City. ”

Three days later, Hua Rong's coffin was sent out of the Old Summer Palace, although it stopped in the queen's palace for three days irregularly, but after all, she was a palace maid, and it was impossible to hold any decent funeral for her. And Hua Rong's death has no effect on the rest of the people in the Six Palaces, except for the queen's sadness, the rest is that there is no one in charge of the affairs in the Xiushan house. Although the queen is the serious master, she has always relied on Hua Rong to live, and now the emperor wants to take everyone back to the Forbidden City, how to pack up the queen's things and where to start packing, everyone is waiting for the master to show her, but where does the queen have this thought.

Because he was about to move back to the Forbidden City, he was busy packing up his things everywhere, the martial law in the Old Summer Palace was much loosened, and there was Mama Hua in Ningchun Hall to preside, everything was in order, on the day Hua Rong was sent away, Yong'er waited for the Queen Mother to take a nap, and quietly ran out, bowing his head all the way, and came to the place where the queen and Concubine Ling were assassinated that day.

At that time, Hua Rong's blood soaked into the cracks of the stone, even if it was washed several times, there were still some traces, and the place where there was blood was naturally the place where Hua Rong fell, Yong'er picked a few flowers from the side, gently placed them in the place where there were blood stains, and silently prayed. This is the first time she has seen someone die, even before entering the palace, she has never met the death of her elders at home, she didn't expect the first time to be so tragic, she has been dreaming about everything that happened that day for several nights, and today is also hoping to calm her uneasy heart, and tomorrow she will follow the Queen Mother back to the Forbidden City.

After reciting her wish, Yong'er bowed again, and when she got up, her eyes swept inadvertently, as if she saw something in the crack of the stone, she squatted down and looked again, it was a lapis lazuli bead stuck in the crack of the stone, and there was a faint blood stain on it. She didn't know why she was interested in this stone, she dug it out with her fingers, wiped it on the cuffs with a sigh, and restored the original color of the beads.

Yong'er looked around, didn't see anyone there, so she silently put away the beads, she couldn't delay too long, she was afraid that the Queen Mother would wake up and look for her at any time, so she bowed to the place where Hua Rong had an accident and went back along the way she came.

On the same day, Hongyan took Xiaoqi to Pinghu Qiuyue to visit the concubine, Concubine Wenhui is old, and not as energetic as the queen mother, this time she moved back to the Forbidden City, she asked the emperor to keep her here, Hongli thought about it again and again or agreed, asked Hongyan to greet the concubine, to see what to arrange for her.

The concubine was naturally reluctant to work hard, so she sent her back with thoughtful words, and also told her to be careful, if there was such a thing again, she might not be able to avoid it.

On the way back to the spring of the Tiandi family, Xiao Qi held her mother's hand tightly, Hongyan saw that she was a little nervous, and couldn't help asking: "I've been sticking to me today, but I don't speak, Grandmother Fang Cai teased you and you didn't play with her old man, what's wrong?" ”

Xiao Qi hugged his mother's arm and said, "In the future, I will be with E-Niang every day, and I will protect E-Niang." ”

Hongyan guessed that she knew about that day, and also knew about Huarong, she is now living with Concubine Yu, and there are some things that Hongyan can't control, so she squatted down and touched her daughter's head, and said gently: "Xiao Qi is not afraid, E-Niang said that she would accompany you for the rest of her life, and E-Niang will never be fine." ”

At this time, a group of people came over from afar, the child's eyes lit up, and Xiao Qi said: "Eniang, it's the twelfth brother who is here." ”

Hongyan stood up and looked over there, only to see Yongxuan striding forward, followed by four or five little eunuchs, and there was no shadow of Fucha Demin in the past, and naturally he was no longer the naughty little brother who was playing in the snow back then.

And since Yongxuan saw Concubine Ling, he naturally wanted to come forward to salute, and Hongyan said politely: "The things in the study are all packed up, and I will go back to the Forbidden City tomorrow." ”

The twelfth elder brother seemed to smile bitterly, and such a smile should not have appeared on his face, he said: "Everything in the study is cleaned up, but there is still a mess in the Jiexiu Mountain room, Hua Rong is gone, and even the person in charge is gone." ”

If you say this, it will make people laugh, there is no one in charge of things in the palace of the palace, but you must know that in the past thirty years, the queen has relied on Hua Rong for everything, and now that she has a broken arm, she naturally can't do anything.

"Guifei Niangniang, I'm going back, and I can't stay with my son for a long time." Yongxuan bowed and saluted, and without waiting for Hongyan to agree, he went in the direction of the Xiushan house, Hongyan saw him go away, but heard his daughter snuggled up to him and whispered, "Eniang, how can Brother Twelve snort angrily, it seems that someone quarreled with him." ”

"My brother has grown up, how can he be as childish as you." Hongyan smiled, hugged her daughter and said, "Let's go back, Ke'er can't find her sister and cry." ”

After that, although Hongyan did not personally come forward to help take care of the affairs of Xiushan House, she still sent someone to help, and finally put away the queen's things before leaving the next day. In a blink of an eye, the emperor served the queen mother and took the concubine back to the Forbidden City, returned to the golden-roofed red wall, and returned to this familiar and strange world.

Xiao Qi and Ke'er also followed Hongyan again, the Yanxi Palace was spacious, the children had their own rooms, and after they were busy with everything, it was dark, but the people in the respectful room came to ask what to do with the things of the concubines in the Chengqian Palace.

Hongyan came to Chengqian Palace with cherries and lanterns, Lan Guiren heard the movement and hurriedly greeted her, Hongyan had heard Hua Rong relay Huiyun's words, and knew that there was a secret room in Concubine Xin's bedroom, and the sixth princess was conceived and born in this secret room, she wanted to order someone to open it and take a look, but seeing that Lan Guiren followed inch by inch, she still gave up.

The eighth princess, who had been asleep, suddenly cried because she didn't see Lan Guiren, and ran out to find her in her bedclothes. stepped forward to tease the eighth princess, and said to Lan Guiren: "The meaning of the emperor and the queen is to let you continue to raise the princess, and after Concubine Xin's death is done, she will choose a good day to give you a promotion, and it will be more convenient to take care of the princess in the future, so you don't have to worry about being bullied." But whatever is the princess's business, and anything is wrong, you will come to me, the little man of the golden branches and jade leaves, no one can be neglected. ”

Lan Guiren said yes again and again, but he stopped talking, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it, Hongyan and Cherry were both at a glance, they thought about it when they came, and Hongyan said: "Do you think it's not good here, don't you want to live?" ”

Lan Guiren said embarrassedly: "The concubine herself can't say it, I'm panicking here, Concubine Xin was burned to death, will the unjust soul be found?" But what good place to leave here? ”

Hongyan said with a smile: "This is the place where Empress Xiaoyi of Kangxi Ye lived, and it is extremely expensive, if Concubine Xin really becomes a wronged soul, she will not be able to enter this door again." You live in peace, what's so scary, I'm just a wall away from you. ”
