Concubine Mei did not disappoint her family, as well as Kyoto and even the entire Qingguo, who were jealous of the third prince Li Chengping, and successfully gave birth to a Lin'er in the autumn of the twelfth year of Qingli. In the tense situation of the war in the north, the addition of blood to the royal family has to be said to be an excellent news and an excellent sign.

It's just a pity that her background is not very noble, and her family house is small, otherwise the whole of Kyoto will be more lively because of the birth of this little prince.

The third prince Li Chengping has grown up over the years, and has always shown a very steady, knowledgeable and courteous side in front of people, and now he is listening to politics in the imperial study, and he is personally educated by Scholar Hu, who should be the best candidate for the crown prince, and the production of Concubine Mei, logically speaking, should not cause too much turmoil.

However, not all the courtiers have forgotten the matter of Baoyuelou back then, on the bright side it is the battle between Fan Xian and the second prince, but it is the second and third princes of the Fan family who were pushed to the front of the stage, the second son of the Fan family fled to Northern Qi and has not yet returned to the country, although the role of the third prince in this matter has been wiped out by the palace, but it can't hide from the eyes of most people.

What's more important is that everyone in the world knows that the relationship between this prince and Fan Xian is close and extraordinary, and now Fan Xian is because of the violent killing of officials on the street, in the Qing Dynasty's civil official system, there is only a violent and cool side, and no one wants Fan Xian to have a comeback one day.

The most important thing is that there are too many smart people in the officialdom of Qingguo, although His Majesty did not say it explicitly, but after many years, after cleaning the Supervision Yuan, he chose to choose a show girl to enter the palace again, these people have already guessed His Majesty's intentions, so this time the royal family added blood, faintly adding some mysterious feelings.

The good news in the palace has not been revealed, but those ubiquitous tongues have been spread out of the palace in advance, and all the ministers have known about it overnight, some of the ministers who are serious about the country are worried, some are secretly excited, some are relieved, and more people are finally nervous.

When the ministers pondered in the palace what kind of words and sentences should be written, His Majesty, the emperor who was about to get a son, was not as moved as these foreign courtiers.

Hong Zhu, the eunuch in the imperial study, was still honestly kneeling beside the soft couch of the emperor's majesty, his knees were already painful, and cold sweat kept flowing down his back. Because a long time has passed since the arraignment, but His Majesty the Emperor has been lying silently on the soft collapse, without showing the slightest expression of joy, and he has not even been interested in getting up and going to the palace of Concubine Mei.

Hong Zhu didn't know what was going on, let alone what His Majesty was thinking, he was just blindly nervous, he didn't know that Fan Xian was still alive and was heading to Qingguo Kyoto, he only kowtowed again in line with the duties of a eunuch slave, and carefully reminded His Majesty that it was time to get up?

His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand a little annoyed, but he didn't get angry, but he didn't get up, but said to Eunuch Yao beside him: "You said that I ...... Is there a chance to watch this son grow up chéngrén?"

Eunuch Yao's heart shook slightly, and he hurriedly bowed down, piled up a smile and said a lot of nonsense, which was nothing more than His Majesty Xià chūn Qiu Zhengsheng, thousands of generations and so on.

A trace of exhaustion flashed on the emperor's thin face, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he sneered slightly, but he didn't know whether he was laughing at the people of the world or laughing at himself. If Chen Pingping was still alive, how would he answer this sentence? It was probably much more interesting than Eunuch Yao, but the old dog seemed to have been dead for a long time...... Looking at the unchanged deep palace night in front of him, he suddenly thought of the letter that the second prince left to him a few years ago, and thought of what the prince said during the last conversation with the prince.

“...... I also ask my father to be merciful to those who are still alive. ”

Li Chengqian's voice seemed to be echoing in his ears at this moment, making the emperor's heart twitch slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, and he sighed softly: "Who will be more lenient to me?"

............ The next day, the ministers, who were about to go to the Emperor to pat His Majesty's ass, were stunned to learn a news that shocked and panicked them.

Concubine Mei gave birth to a son, but after giving birth to hemorrhage, the imperial doctor rescued her overnight, but she did not get it back, and unfortunately died in the palace. Fortunately, the little prince who was born without a mother was in good health, and after His Majesty was saddened by the death of Concubine Mei, he was raised by Concubine Yi of Shufang Palace.

Shufang Palace should be raised by the concubine, so if this concubine is the biological mother of the little prince in the future, as soon as he thought of this, the ministers who were still thinking about the future ownership of the Daqing dragon chair were stunned and speechless, and knew that His Majesty's arrangement basically eliminated the possibility of the little prince ascending the throne.

Concubine Mei is dead, the little prince has no support in the palace, and the Mei family is extremely weak, and she was raised by Concubine Yi, where can there be a future?

The noon sun shines on the glorious palace walls, adding a lot of warmth in this autumn rì, but the warmth in the palace is not very sufficient, especially Concubine Mei's bedroom is even more lonely and cold at this time, the newborn little prince has already been taken away, and the grandmother and the related palace maids also went to Shufang Palace together, except for the faintly audible cry, there is no trace of festive feeling.

Concubine Mei's body had been sorted out and lay quietly on the big bed, not yet removed. This handsome girl who once had a relationship with Fan Xian still did not escape the bad luck in the palace. Perhaps because of the loss of too much blood, her face was as white as frost, and in the midday sun, it shone with a cold and unwilling luster.

Fan Xian once sincerely blessed her to be able to give birth to a princess, but unfortunately, she still succeeded in giving birth to a prince after all. Fan Xian was worried that the prince born to Concubine Mei would bring uneasiness and blood to the palace again when he grew up, but he was afraid that even he didn't expect that the little prince had just been born, and Concubine Mei would pay the price of her life for it.

The midday sun is as radiant as this palace, but how can it shine on that pretty white face, and it is still so cold?

............ Fan Mansion, partial study.

Fan Shuning and Fan Liang, two sisters and brothers, were taking a nap in Sisi's company at this time. The sunlight shone on the trees and flowers in the Fan Mansion Garden, painting a very complex light and shadow on the windows of this study.

In the study, Lin Wan'er sat at the desk with a solemn face, and after being silent for a long time, she finally couldn't help but sigh and said: "Concubine Mei's life is also a little harder, but it's okay to give it to the concubine to raise her, so as not to cause trouble again in the future." ”

At this time, there were only two people in the room, she and her sister-in-law Fan Ruoruo, in the past half a year, the two of them often entered the palace to accompany the old Majesty, and they were very clear about the things in the palace. It's just that they never thought that Concubine Mei would die in childbirth last night.

Fan Ruoruo was not a person of many words, but after listening to her sister-in-law's sigh, after being silent for a long time, she raised her head, looked at her eyes and said lightly: "If you want to blame her parents, you have to send her to that unsightly place." ”

This sentence was once mentioned by Yuan Chūn in the Stone Record, Lin Wan'er naturally knew that it was written by Fan Xian, but she was such a smart and clever person, and immediately heard what her sister said, and asked with a slight frown: "Your Majesty's blood is thin, and the palace has always been the head of the concubine Niangniang, you and I know her feelings, and it will not be ......."

No, the two of them know it. Fan Ruoruo thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Of course the concubine is not such a person, it's just ...... I went to the palace to diagnose Concubine Mei's pulse several times, and I heard the fetal sound a lot of times. In the seventh day of the first month, after she was stabbed by her brother, she was extra cautious, she has been well maintained, and her body is stronger than when she first entered the palace, in my opinion, although she is the first child, she will not be in such a big trouble. ”

"When it comes to production, it's always easy to have accidents. Lin Wan'er thought of the time when she gave birth to Fan Liang, and said with palpitations.

Fan Ruoruo frowned for a long time, but still shook his head slowly: "I heard that it was a smooth birth, but I still think this thing is a little strange." ”

There was silence in the study for a long time, Lin Wan'er looked at her and lowered her voice and said, "But this doesn't make sense." ”

It really doesn't make sense, there have always been a lot of filthy things in the Qingguo Palace, but the really terrible thing is that no one dares to go to the country. Especially the dragon species conceived by Concubine Mei was only obtained by His Majesty when he was old, and the palace has been taken care of by Eunuch Yao himself, that is, in order to avoid suspicion, Shufang Palace did not interfere, who can harm Concubine Mei?

Fan Ruoruo suddenly said softly: "Concubine Mei's birth date is later than the original calculation. ”

Lin Wan'er's heart shook slightly, she looked into her eyes in disbelief, and asked, "Who has such courage?"

Fan Ruoruo shook her head and replied: "Being in the Forbidden Palace, that period of His Majesty stays in her place every day, naturally no one has the courage to offend the majesty of the royal family...... Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that this Concubine Mei was young and confused, and she only begged for His Majesty's favor, and she was afraid that it was a false positive, but fortunately, she didn't make a big mess later. ”

Lin Wan'er sighed: "I really don't know what she thinks. ”

"She is young, she is not sensible, she still blames her father and brother's family, and she was sold into the palace just for glory, but I am afraid that this matter is the idea of her clan. Fan Ruoruo sneered: "Her family is just a small door, and there has been no draft in the palace for many years, so I'm afraid that I don't know the taboos at all, and her courage is so big...... Concubine Mei's death has something to do with where they got out. ”

When Lin Wan'er heard this, she finally understood and guessed, but she still couldn't believe her ears, and said in a daze: "Although it is a crime of deceiving the king, after all, she has just given birth to a prince, and there is no big rebellion, how can you ...... He died for no reason?"

"Who knows what His Majesty thinks in his heart. Fan Ruoruo's eyebrows were filled with a faint sadness, and she said, "It's just that the child who was born without a mother is suffering." ”

In Qingguo, many years ago, there was also a child who was born without a mother, but he still grew up healthy and happy under his mother's legacy, but it was obvious that the cold Concubine Mei, who was illuminated by the noon sun, could not stand in the dark and watch her son like Ye Qingmei.

No one thought that Concubine Mei's death was just because Fan Xian had told the emperor that Concubine Mei was not as good as Concubine Yi after all, and His Majesty the Emperor also figured out certain things.
