Xiao Yun whispered: "Is this, auntie?"
The eldest prince has a mute disease. This is the default of the palace, and now he suddenly opens his mouth, and everyone is naturally shocked.
The little eunuch in the center of the hall flicked his wrist and almost dropped the map of Jiangnan Misty Rain on the ground.
Empress Dowager Chu swept over the calm-faced emperor and Qin Jieyu with her peripheral vision, and secretly clenched the Buddha beads in her hands.
It was clear to them that they already knew it.
No wonder the concubine protected her like that, no wonder the emperor named her Jieyu.
The Empress Dowager Chu looked at the concubine and said nonchalantly, "This is Yun'er..."
Concubine Sun nodded and said, "He didn't know what to do for the past two days, but he was willing to open his mouth. When the concubine was about to tell you about this, the eldest prince robbed him first."
Look, this is the ability of the concubine to speak.
"Actually willing to open his mouth." and "Actually open his mouth." These two sentences are completely different.
The meaning of the concubine is: the first prince was not unable to speak, but did not want to speak.
Empress Dowager Chu smiled clearly, "This is a good thing, a good thing."
The eyes of the concubines in the harem looking at Xiao Yun completely changed.
They knew clearly in their hearts that if the eldest son of the emperor was not dumb, it would be another world.
Xiao Yu said to Duke Sheng, "Give a seat to the eldest princess."
Princess Changning sat beside the concubine, and when she raised her head, she just met Qin Jie's eyes, her apricot eyes widened, and she coughed twice, "Imperial Sister-in-law?"
People were not surprised by this reaction.
The concubine grabbed Chang Ning's cuff, lowered her head and whispered a few words, Chang Ning said in a low voice, "But this is..." Too similar.
The family banquet continued, listening to the qin and watching the dance, which was full of joy.
Xiao Yu glanced at Qin Wei from time to time, his eyes were open and explicit, and it could be said that he did not shy away from it at all.
Under the scorching gaze of everyone, Qin Xun looked down at the mandarin fish in the bowl, hesitated for a while, and finally stretched out her chopsticks.
One bite after another, the emperor's heart was broken.
Before the banquet was over, the concubine suddenly coughed again. Princess Changning looked down at the handkerchief that the concubine was holding tightly in her hands, her eyes reddened.
—
At the moment of Hai Shi, in Shou'an Palace.
Whether Ning Sheng from the Taifei Hospital had ever checked the Taifei's pulse, Chang Ning's teardrops crackled down.
She knelt down beside the concubine and said with a trembling voice, "If the emperor hadn't called me back this time, when would the concubine plan to hide it from me?"
The concubine looked at her and said, "Ayu."
The concubine raised her hand to caress her face, and said softly, "Ayu, sooner or later, everyone has to go like this." Everyone has it.
Princess Changning kept shaking her head, she buried her head on the concubine's knee, and said with tears in her eyes, "But in the letter you sent me, you clearly didn't say that, and Ayu hasn't done her filial piety by her mother's side..."
The concubine patted her on the back and laughed at her: "I'm still doing my filial piety, I just hope you don't get into trouble."
Chang Ning raised his eyes and said, "Don't worry, concubine, I know what to do."
"You are in Lishan, how are you?"
Changning nodded, "It's natural, Lishan is surrounded by green mountains and green waters, and my daughter's illness has improved a lot."
The concubine looked into the eyes of her little princess and suddenly felt sad.
This is the youngest daughter whom the late emperor loves most, the true daughter of the heavens. She is angry or angry, happy or sad, and she has the unique charm of her daughter's family. It should never be like this today.
No matter how well you cover it up, all the hardships brought by the years will leave indelible marks on your face.
She used to think that her little princess would be safe in her life until she met Su Huaian.
The princess lowered her head and sighed.
Who would have thought that the sons and daughters of the late emperor were all planted in the hands of the Su family brothers and sisters.
In the past few days, the Shou'an Palace has closed the palace gate, and only Qin Wei and the eldest princess are waiting inside.
Princess Changning wished she had to sleep all the time, and the concubine vomited and diarrhoea, and she did not take it for granted.
If the concubine closed her eyes to rest, she would sleep beside her.
But everyone knew in their hearts that the concubine's body did not improve at all.
The human body is sometimes born to the heart. If Changning doesn't come, even if the life of the concubine is passing by all the time, there will always be a breath hanging there.
Once you wait for the person you want to see, you lose that strength.
When Chang Ning's voice faded, the concubine opened her eyes and raised her hand to stroke her long hair.
Her eyes gradually blurred, and the past was layered upon layers.
She, from a humble background, is just a little female official in the palace, but fate likes to make fun of her. In the bright spring day, she was waiting in front of the royal family, and suddenly a pair of big hands touched her waist and asked her, "What's it called?"
She once hated those hands, but since she gave birth to Changning, she never regretted entering this palace once.
On the fifteenth day of October, the full moon hangs high.
Taifei Sun leaned on the couch, her breathing getting weaker and weaker, and the cup in her hand fell to the ground with a bang. This is not even the strength to drink water.
Chang Ning put down the unfinished tunic in his hand, and turned around quickly and said, "Mother concubine, I'll come, I'll come."
But this time, the princess didn't open her eyes.
Xiao Yun became frightened inexplicably, his small hands trembled, and he turned around and hugged Qin Jie's leg.
Qin Jie squatted down and hugged him tightly and said, "Don't be afraid."
Yuan mama covered her mouth, tears soaked her eyes, she turned around and raised the curtain, and said to the little eunuch: "Go down, get ready."
The emperor quickly came from Fengtianmen, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the appearance of the concubine's eyes being closed.
You know you can't escape today.
The concubine has gone through two dynasties, and she has seen all kinds of wind and rain in the deep palace for decades.
After all, all the people she cared about all her life were here.
Xiao Yu walked to the concubine's side. Seeing that she was about to get up, he immediately said, "The concubine doesn't need to be too polite."
I don't know if there is a phenomenon that people will return to the light before they die, or whether the real dragon emperor is really different from others. After Xiao Yu came, the concubine obviously raised a bit of spirit.
Xiao Yu whispered: "If the concubine has something to say, just tell me directly, and I will answer."
When the concubine saw Xiao Yu, she seemed to see the little prince more than 20 years ago.
She knew that Xiao Yu's willingness to treat her so well was actually inseparable from the twenty-two years of Yongchang.
Only she and the emperor knew about this matter in the entire harem.
During the reign of Yongchang, traitors were in power, the harem was involved in government affairs, and the emperor was indiscriminate and undisciplined. Not only did the previous dynasty become chaotic, but the harem was also the same.
Concubine Meng, who was the only favorite of the emperor that year, is the best example.
Concubine Meng was a singer in the south of the Yangtze River. She drank Juezi Soup at the age of fourteen, and was destined to have no children in her life. However, Da Zhou was a funeral system, and most of the concubines who were favored and had no children could not escape the fate of being buried alive.
Over the years, it has always been so.
If you don't have children, you can only grab them.
As a result, the family background is not obvious, and Yu Zhaoyi, who has a son under him, has become a thorn in Concubine Meng's eyes.
Concubine Meng was only fond of and jealous, and while hooking the emperor's soul, she tried her best to cholera the harem.
She set up a bureau.
She bribed a female official of the Food Bureau to poison Yu Zhaoyi. The amount was very difficult to check, and it only showed signs of cold. The imperial physician Jiang Zilai would go to Xianfu Palace to diagnose Yu Zhaoyi's pulse every three days. On the grounds of an affair, he threatened Yu Zhaoyi to plead guilty.
This kind of non-existent thing can't stand up to a big deal, and it can't stand a close inspection. If you want to do it, you can only use the word "fast".
When Concubine Meng saw that Yu Zhaoyi did not recognize her, she took a person with her while the night was still dark and poured a cup of Hedinghong into Yu Zhaoyi's mouth.
And that night, Xiao Yu was there.
Concubine Sun that year was just a humble Sun Cairen, living in the side hall where Yu Zhaoyi was located. She took a step ahead of Concubine Meng, pulled the little prince into the wardrobe, covered his eyes with her hands, and said to him, "Sanlang , don't make a sound."
I can cover my eyes, but not my ears.
After the roar subsided, there were tears in her palms, silent and silent.
This matter, Sun Taifei has never mentioned to anyone for 20 years.
Concubine Sun knew very well that Xiao Yu's unkindness was not without reason. He grew up in the harem of blood and rain, and no one believed him.
He hadn't entered the harem for three years. Apart from thinking about getting a wife, he didn't want the concubines of the harem to raise Xiao Yun.
Taifei Sun breathed slowly, and after a while, she said to Xiao Yu, "What happened back then was your father's fault, not yours."
Xiao Yu was startled, then nodded again: "I know."
Xiao Yu watched the concubine gradually lose her strength, and said solemnly: "I promise, no matter what mistakes Changning makes in the future, I will not blame her."
The concubine smiled, "Your Majesty, take Yun'er out, he is still young and will be afraid, don't get bad luck."
Xiao Yu's Adam's apple moved, and he turned around to hug the little prince, Xiao Yun lay on his father's shoulder, and the whole person was stunned, and he didn't say a word again.
Princess Changning was lying beside the couch, tears fell uncontrollably. After crying for a while, she was about to call out "A-Niang", and the concubine followed with "um".
It's just weaker than the sound.
At this point, even the gods can't pull it back.
The concubine's pupils gradually dilated, and when she was dying, she turned her eyes to Qin Yan.
She frowned, released it again, and said, "A Ling..."
Everyone knew that the concubine would never call Qin Jieyu that, and the phrase "A Ling" was obviously the wrong person.
Qin Jie walked over slowly, knelt beside the concubine, and said, "The minister and concubine are here."
The concubine suddenly smiled, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes, and murmured, "So, so."
Qin Wei held the concubine's hand and got closer.
The concubine smiled and said: "So Yun'er is right, you are indeed, there is no mole..."
After saying that, the princess slowly closed her eyes.
Qin Xun's pupils shrank, took a deep breath and said, "Taifei!"
Chang Ning clenched the concubine's clothes tightly with both hands and cried, "Auntie!!"
The moment the concubine left, Shou'an Palace touched the ground with her forehead up and down, unable to kneel.
After the little eunuch finished reading the time, the little prince in Xiao Yu's arms suddenly fluttered, he could not cry, and his words were chaotic, "Father, father, concubine, concubine..."
Xiao Yu stroked his son's back with his palm.
The child's back is so thin that he can even touch his trembling heart.
After seven days.
The white curtain of Shou'an Palace was hung high, Princess Changning knelt on the ground in plain clothes, her eyes were flushed, and the whole person was much calmer.
Xiao Yu walked over and patted her shoulder comfortingly, "When are you going to move back from Lishan?"
"Brother Huang, give me some more time." Changning lowered his head and said.
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you, just tell me if you have anything."
Right now, the concubines are all mourning in Shou'an Palace, but Chang Ning is staring at Qin Wei, who is frowning. Xiao Yu follows her gaze and says, "What are you looking at?"
Chang Ning said, "I'm thinking about what my concubine said before she died."
Xiao Yu said: "What did the concubine say?"
Chang Ning wondered, "Can the emperor see the mole on Qin Jieyu's chin?"
Xiao Yu nodded helplessly, "Naturally."
Changning frowned and said, "Then why did the concubine say she didn't have it?"
Xiao Yu's back stiffened and said, "What did you say?"
