The day Zhang Jia Chuzhen returned to the palace, the sun was shining, and it was the time of summer heat. At that time, Chunxi had already lived in Changchun Garden with Xuan Ye, and she had never seen her.

I heard that Zhang Jia Chuzhen was covered in injuries, and after being diagnosed by the imperial doctor, he did not get better with the best injury medicine. And Zhang Jiachuzhen's thoughts are disordered, often crazy, and occasionally sober is alone in a daze, refusing to speak.

Xuan Ye wanted to bring her to Changchun Garden to recuperate, but was stopped by everyone and had to give up.

There is no past scenery in Chuxiu Palace, and it looks quiet and depressed. The scorching sun shone on the whole palace, but it was not warm to the heart that gradually died at that moment.

Zhang Jia Chuzhen was lying on the chaise longue, and there was a little palace maid fanning her by her side. Her face was pale and her eyes glazed over. She was actually very sleepy, but she didn't dare to close her eyes. As soon as you close your eyes, you can see the scene of the killing of that day, or the situation of two months of displacement.

It's so clear, as if it just happened. She wanted to forget, she wanted to go back to the past, but she couldn't. She thought she was strong inside, strong enough to endure everything. But after returning to the palace for so many days, she gradually understood that she could never go back.

Although Xuan Ye has never disliked her, he has never been short of her food and clothing. But Xuan Ye's eyes were extremely indifferent when he looked at her, as if he was looking at a stranger. She could no longer find a trace of tenderness in Xuan Ye's eyes, and the things she was addicted to in the past were all gone.

They've only seen that side since they came back. When she threw herself into his arms with joy, he gently pushed her away. It was clear that his movements were so gentle, but she felt the pain incomparably. She realized that she was back, but everything was different. She is no longer the pleasing concubine she used to be, and she is no longer the delicate flower in his eyes. She's just a withered grass, she's just a scrap that survives.

"What is Concubine Min thinking?" A voice pulled her thoughts back to reality, Zhang Jia Chuzhen raised her eyes, but it was Dai Jia Xiangning, who lived in the West Side Palace.

Zhang Jia Chuzhen didn't speak, and she didn't want to have anything to do with her. She wasn't in the mood to speak, and she didn't want to listen to her nonsense. But the people were not as she wanted, and unceremoniously found a red sandalwood round stool to sit down, looking at her with a smile.

"In the past, the mother was so arrogant, how can she be like this today?" Even if he didn't want to listen to it, he still heard Dai Jiaxiangning's ridicule, and in the past, this noble Dai Jia who was prostrate at his feet and didn't dare to speak loudly to her, now he seemed arrogant.

Zhang Jia Chuzhen still didn't speak, her eyes looked in another direction, and she didn't want to deal with her.

Dai Jia Xiangning didn't want to let her go like this, and still said with a little smile: "The thirteenth elder brother seems to be in Changchun Garden now, and he should be thirteen years old by the end of the year, I heard that the emperor loves him very much, but for some reason in the past two days, he was annoyed and reprimanded the thirteenth elder brother in public." Even the grandmother and haha beads, who waited for the thirteenth elder brother to live on weekdays, were also reprimanded. What does the mother think? ”

Hearing Dai Jiaxiangning mention Yinxiang, Zhang Jiachuzhen had some reaction, she turned around and looked at each other, her eyes confused.

Dai Jiaxiang sneered, waved her hand and said, "Niangniang is still worried about him, and the concubine still thinks that Niangniang has been too miserable during this time outside, and there is something wrong with her brain." ”

Zhang Jia Chuzhen muttered: "Don't bother with you, this palace is very good." ”

"If Niangniang is really good, she should think more about the thirteenth elder brother." Dai Jiaxiang condensed her mouth and continued: "Niangniang probably doesn't know yet, the fourteenth elder brother laughed at the thirteenth elder brother, saying that he had an innocent mother, and the thirteenth elder brother was naturally dissatisfied when he heard it. Even if he fought with the fourteenth elder brother and beat the fourteenth elder brother to the point that he couldn't move, he still refused to let go. If it weren't for the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother passing by, they would stop him. At this time, the thirteenth elder brother should pay for the fourteenth elder brother's life. In the past, a slave beside Niangniang could also humiliate the concubine and the seven belles at will. In the future, anyone in the palace can humiliate the thirteenth elder brother. Those insulting and ugly words, Niang Niang used to say a lot. Come to think of it, the thirteenth elder brother will hear no less in the future. The mother made him carry it, but it was a lifetime of shame. Hahahaha......"

Dai Jiaxiang's laughter was like a piercing ice, and Zhang Jiachuzhen felt like she was in a dream, feeling that her whole person was sinking under the water, and she couldn't breathe.

She was in so much pain, she wanted to call for help, but she couldn't open her mouth, and she didn't know who to open to.

"Do you know how the concubine feels every time she humiliates my son?" Dai Jiaxiang covered her heart, as if she was still experiencing the pain, and said poignantly: "Yinyou was born disabled, it's not his fault, it's my mother's inability to protect him." If it weren't for the harm of people, how could I have given birth to a prince who is quite sufficient? He was ridiculed all his life. When the concubine entered the palace, she had no intention of competing for favor, she just wanted to live her life in peace. It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, and there are always people who want to destroy my peace and force me to be cornered. I thought that giving birth to a son would save my life, but my hope was still shattered. I gradually withdrew from the whirlpool of struggle and did not participate in all disputes. But what about you, mother? If you are not greedy, why should you fight? If you have good intentions and don't persecute others, how can you end up like this? In the past, I didn't have a choice. But you have, you have a choice, but you have chosen a path of no return. It's just your insatiable greed. ”

"No...... No...... That's not true. Zhang Jia Chuzhen cried out, and she tried her best to defend herself: "I don't want to do this, and I don't want to be her enemy." I once showed goodwill, even because of me, that I saved Brother Jiu's life. But she didn't want to owe me herself, she had to repay the favor, and she had to push me to someone else. Do you think I want to follow Concubine Rong? It wasn't for Wang Tianru that slut instigated me that I would go against my heart. I don't want to hurt anyone, and I'm also surprised by the death of Brother Eleven. I didn't do this, why does Concubine Yi blame me? ”

"But you still have a choice. You can choose not to do anything for Concubine Rong, you can choose not to do it. Look at Chen's promise, isn't she, like you, relying on Concubine Rong to give birth to the Seventeenth Elder Brother? But people never do anything that hurts nature and reason. Dai Jiaxiang smiled sarcastically and said to her viciously: "If you hadn't instigated the Yu family, the eleventh elder brother was killed." How could Concubine Yi do anything to you? Your existence is actually insignificant to Concubine Yi. Even without you, there will be other women who are favored by the emperor. But you dug your own grave to protect your ridiculous grace. ”

Zhang Jia Chuzhen shook her head again and again, but she just kept saying, "No...... No...... I'm not wrong...... It's not my fault......"

"You don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of you." Dai Jiaxiang sneered and said: "Concubine Min, it won't take long to think about it, and this Chuxiu Palace will be much quieter." The emperor will not set foot here again, and you don't have to expect to see the holy face again in this life.

”

"What do you mean?" Zhang Jia Chuzhen had a premonition, got up in horror, and grabbed Dai Jia Xiangning's sleeve.

Dai Jiaxiang waved her hand, shook Zhang Jiachuzhen away, took a few steps back, looked at her and said calmly: "Niangniang herself naturally knows it in her heart. ”

On July 25, the 38th year of Kangxi, Zhang Jia Chuzhen died of illness and Chu Xiu Palace. On the second day of the second month of the next month, Xuan Ye decreed: Concubine Zhang Jia's temperament is gentle, Kexian Neize, has served the palace for a long time, and is cautious and cautious.

Zhang Jia Chuzhen's death was not surprising. About her, because her death is divine. There are various versions, but none of them are real. After Zhang Jia Chuzhen's death, Chuxiu Palace was indeed a lot deserted.

Dai Jiaxiangning has never liked to be lively, and is a quiet person, so the former gorgeousness of Chuxiu Palace has disappeared little by little, and it has become a quiet palace.

Because of Zhang Jiachuzhen's death, Xuan Ye returned to the palace ahead of schedule, and Chun Xi and his party also came back.

"She's gone, and you're missing a thing." Lan Xin and Chun Xi were both dressed in plain clothes, and the two walked side by side on the palace road, followed by a large group of palace maids and eunuchs.

Chun Xi said: "In this way, it can be regarded as giving Yinyu an explanation." ”

"You don't have to be sad about the child's affairs anymore, you still have Yinqi and Yinyu by your side, and you will have children and grandchildren in the future. Yinyu's matter, with her death, will disappear. Lan Xin stopped, took Chunxi's hand, and said earnestly.

Chunxi lowered his head, looked at the ground and sighed, and said with sadness: "There are often many unsatisfactory things in life, when Yinyu just left, I blamed myself for not taking good care of him, blaming him for leaving me before him at a young age." I hate the person who killed him, so I resent the Yu family, the concubine Min, and the concubine Rong. Now I'm a lot calmer. With the birth of Hongsheng, I began to forget the child who had ended my fate. It's just that sometimes, my heart still can't let go, and I still miss him. ”

"When Yinzuo left, I was just like you. Later, I realized that people always have to look forward to live happily. Those who should go, must go. And the people who are alive must not be burdened with pain all their lives. Today's Lan Xin is optimistic, even if Yinzhen is still lukewarm to her, she will comfort herself, time will make everything better, and time will let Yinzhen see her care and love for him. Moreover, she also has fourteen elder brothers.

Chunxi nodded, she also agreed with Lan Xin's words, she smiled: "Now, I still have the most important thing. When that's done, I might be able to let go of everything and live the life I want. ”

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on them, and their wishes may rise again as the sun sets. Tomorrow will be another good day, and they will have a better life.

People always have many wishes, some within reach, some out of reach. Chun Xi just wants to live a safe life for herself and her children and grandchildren. This may be an extravagant hope, but it may also be an easy dream to achieve.
