With a bang, the door was opened, dozens of tung oil torches illuminated the small thatched house, and the family members of the Wei Mansion stood at the door with torches in their hands, and Xiao Rongshen jumped off the horse and ran over quickly.

"Yuanjia!" Xiao Rongshen was startled, the torch reflected the red blood stains on the ground, and his heart suddenly cooled. Xiao Rongshen stopped, held the door frame with one hand, and looked at Yuan Jia blankly.

Xiao Rongshen was very annoyed, who was so bold as to dare to poison his own women and children in this place. He also couldn't figure it out, Ronghua Nunnery had been standing on this mountain for nearly a hundred years, and the thing of being looted by robbers was simply unheard of, how could Yuanjia be bumped into it for the first time?

Xiao Rongshen is not a fool, of course he knows that this is not a different kind of robbery and murder, this is obviously aimed at him and the county king. It is clear that someone doesn't want his son to become the eldest grandson of the emperor of Da Chu!

Xiao Rongshen looked down at Wei Yuanjia, who was huddled in the corner, almost fainting. finally had some pity in his heart, this woman loved fame and fortune as much as he did, and her lust for power was consumed, but she was just as unlucky.

He rushed forward in three steps and two steps to hold Yuan Jia in his arms, and the warm palm touched her dress, only to feel a sticky and cold piece, reflecting the light, it was an apricot liquid mixed with red blood.

"Your Highness...... Child, save the child......" Yuan Jia's lips and teeth squirmed a few times, and then fainted in Xiao Rongshen's arms.

Xiao Rongshen was silent, looking down at Yuan Jia, whose face was pale, and suddenly felt that she was so pitiful. Just like yourself, fame, money, wealth, love, all the good things are in front of you, but they have nothing to do with you. Now, the child is gone, and her last glimmer of hope is gone.

Xiao Rongshen picked up Yuanjia, her pale cheeks gently leaned on her shoulder, her Dan lips were bitten by her teeth and almost bloodless, Xiao Rongshen carried her into the carriage.

"Let's go back. Xiao Rongshen choked up.

This is the second time he has lost his child, looking at the fainting Yuanjia, Xiao Rongshen is a little remorseful, is it that he has done too many sins over the years, this is the retribution of the Bodhisattva? But to retribution, it should also be retribution on himself, why kill his children again and again?

Yuan Jia twisted her body groggily, muttering something in her mouth, Xiao Rong leaned down to listen, and realized that the three words she said were "I'm sorry." ”

"It's me who I'm sorry for you. Xiao Rong sighed deeply and touched Yuanjia's hair.

......

"Can you inquire clearly?" Rong Zhan stood in front of the window with his hands in his arms.

Qin Shun frowned and replied in a low voice, "Yes." The spies came to report, and the gate of the county king's mansion was closed, and the imperial doctors in the palace came three or four times, and they all said that the child could not be saved. I heard that King Hejun scolded them and smashed the medicine box. ”

Rong Zhan turned around and looked down at the pensive Yuan Xi: "Who the hell actually did this matter before us?"

Rong Zhan was inexplicable, he had just started to kill, and someone stabbed the sky out.

Qin Shun lowered his head and took out a bronze token from his arms, which was engraved with the word "forbidden" written in seal: "Originally, my subordinates had already led people to ambush next to Ronghua Nunnery, but just as they were about to make a move, they were preempted by those people." Wei Yuanjia ran from the back door, and it was the fourth lady of Wei Fu who drove the carriage to take her to escape. Those people intercepted and killed accurately, presumably specially trained dead soldiers. The subordinates also wanted to know whose minions they were, so they followed behind, and then they picked this up. ”

"Isn't this the token of the Forbidden Palace's Eunuch Xu?" Rong Zhan was stunned, took the token in his hand and looked at it several times. It's absolutely true, the token is made of red gold, and the texture is very soft. When he was a child, he once took a bite on it curiously, leaving a shallow child's tooth mark, which cannot be faked.

Rong Zhan handed the token to Yuan Xi: "Could it be that the person who intercepted and killed Wei Yuanjia was Xu Wenliang?"

Xu Wenliang was the big eunuch who took him to see the emperor that day, and he also said that he had a bright future. Yuan Xi remembered him, but he didn't understand that he, a eunuch, should be in charge of the affairs of the inner palace, how could he be involved in the whirlpool of the prince's seizure of the throne. What she didn't expect was that Xu Wenliang, who had low eyebrows and smooth eyes, still had such exquisite martial arts?

Eunuch Xu is a close confidant of the emperor, who will he be assigned to do this, this is self-evident, Yuan Xi was shocked, could it be that it is the emperor's will to intercept and kill Wei Yuanjia?

Yuan Xi and Rong Zhan thought of it almost at the same time, and the two of them looked at each other, both of them were stunned.

In order to crack down on the old school, the emperor could even give up his unborn eldest grandson?! Yuan Xi shuddered, no wonder people said that the emperor's family was the most ruthless.

"It seems that what we are considering, my father has already considered. Rong Zhan smiled helplessly.

Yuan Xi looked at Rong Zhan silently, and her heart was not happy for a while, if Wei Yuanjia's child died in her own hands, she might feel very happy, and it could be regarded as the end of their previous life. But now, as soon as the emperor intervened, she felt that she was not so relaxed and happy, and her heart seemed to be carrying a heavy stone, which weighed her breathlessly. It felt like the emperor had killed his own flesh and blood to protect her.

The old lady was still crying in the room, and Wei Dongshu persuaded with a gloomy face: "Mother, this is something that no one can imagine, maybe it is our Jia'er's life, your old man must mourn, don't cry and break your body." ”

You Shi originally came to persuade the old lady to be relieved, but when she saw the old lady crying sadly, she couldn't stop herself, covered her face and cried. Wei Dongshu was afraid that she would affect the old lady's mood, so he helped You out of the room.

A few little girls helped You Shi back to the room to rest, passing by the lotus pond, You Shi stopped. This lotus pond is as calm as a mirror, in autumn, the flowers are defeated, only a few withered lotus leaves stand alone.

You Shi looked at the surface of the water, couldn't help but be stunned, and looked back at Zhao's mother, who also sighed. A few old people in You's room died to death, scattered, and a few little girls were all newcomers, and they didn't have anything to do. Why is You in a daze, I'm afraid that only Mother Zhao knows at this moment.

Mother Zhao waved her hand, motioned for several little girls to step back, and helped You Shi to sit down on a rockery next to the lotus pond: "Auntie, did you remember the drowned flower spike?"

You Shi sighed: "That time, could it be that we went too far and damaged Yin Virtue, so we all retributed it to Yuan Jia?"

Mother Zhao was silent, looking at the slightly rippling pool water: "Back then, the old slave asked someone to drag her down, right there," Mother Zhao pointed to a clump of aquatic plants, and the man stood in the water, grabbed her feet and neck, and dragged her in. The night was dark and windy, so no one could see why she fell into the water.

You Shi felt a little cold, this autumn lotus pond always has a sense of seclusion, sitting next to it feels cold. You Shi hugged Zhao's mother: "Mother Zhao, you have followed me for so many years, watching me get married, watching me have children, no matter what I do, you won't blame me, but this time, you tell me, is it because I have too many karmic debts, will I be retributed to my children?"

Mother Zhao shook her head: "No, no, auntie." ”

Cheng Zhen died in the prison without knowing it, and he couldn't even see his body, and now he was buried in his grave with only a few clothes. Yuan Jia was good and dignified, but he was bullied by the king of the county, although he married as he wished, he couldn't give birth to children, and he lost two in a row. What is this not retribution?"

You Shi covered her face, who is she doing this for, not so that the two children can have a good future? In other words, anyone who is a mother will do this, but why does God not repay her, but retribution to her children?!

You Shi fell into Zhao's mother's arms and whimpered and cried. Mother Zhao hugged You Shi, stroked her sideburns, and comforted her.

The autumn wind was cold, and there was a biting chill blowing on her body, Mother Zhao sighed and glanced casually into the lotus pond.

She was stunned for a moment, turned her head and looked at it again, there was a bush of tender yellow hidden in the depths of the lotus pond, what was that? Mother Zhao felt that the color was a little familiar, so she took a closer look, but coincidentally, she saw clearly, it was a tender yellow dress that all maids in the family would have.

Whose dress would hang in the weeds? Isn't there knee-high mud at the bottom of the pool? Mother Zhao rubbed her eyes.

Then the dress suddenly moved, as if there was some living creature underneath.

Mother Zhao's body trembled, and her face turned pale.

You Shi raised his head: "Mother Zhao, what's wrong with you?"

"That, that!" Zhao's mother pointed to the yellow bush in the lotus pond and exclaimed, "Is that a person?"

What kind of person? You Shi glanced in the direction of her finger, and the tender yellow arched again, and You Shi gasped and stood up.

"What's that?!" yelled.

Zhao's mother slowly turned her head.

In fact, You Shi already had the answer in his heart, but he didn't dare to admit it, Zhao's mother panicked and asked, "Could it be Hua Sui'er?"

"Flower Spike?!" You exclaimed.

The tender yellow thing arched again, and long hair as pale as snow floated. The long hair fluttered on the surface of the water for a moment, and little by little it was pulled back to the bottom of the water, and disappeared with the yellow dress.

You Shi was stunned, and sat on the ground in a daze, ghost, it must be a ghost, Hua Sui'er came to her for revenge!?

Mother Zhao stiffened for a while, before she gradually eased up, her hands and feet regained their temperature, and she hurriedly squatted down to help You's: "Auntie, it's okay, she's gone, she's really gone!"

You Shi's eyes were like copper bells, and his mouth was open, and Mother Zhao noticed that You Shi's face was as white as paper, which was no better than the legendary ghosts. She hurriedly grabbed You's two hands and shook them vigorously, trying to get her back to normal.

After shaking for a while, You finally spit out two words: "Ghost, ghost!"

She immediately coughed violently, and a stream of blood gushed out of her abdomen, spraying straight on Zhao's mother's face, she leaned back, her eyes were straight, and her hands and feet were cold, as if she had been hooked away.

Zhao's mother exclaimed: "Come on! Auntie has an accident!"
