"I understand." Long Yurong didn't say anything.
Of the three children, one was raised by her as her own daughter, and the two were her biological sons. When the last three became like this, she could only feel heartbroken.
While thinking about it, Long Yurong's tears fell down. The two children were both dead. It was all her fault. It was all her fault. If she had not given up the throne at all.
How could there be such a scene? Lin'er and Qingchen would be a harmonious pair of brothers, and Jiuwei wouldn't be as sad as he is now.
He Lanxuan raised his hand and patted Long Yurong's shoulder gently. He said nothing, but the guilt and self-blame in his eyes showed the unease in his heart.
"It's still too late after all." He Lanxuan sighed softly, the regret in his tone almost drowning him.
"Brother Xuan, my child, my child, it's all my fault..." Long Yurong hugged He Lanxuan and cried out of breath.
Ning Jiuwei couldn't help but frown slightly, got out of bed, and asked softly: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
But Long Yurong really didn't want to talk to Ning Jiuwei at this time. Even if she didn't hate him, she still complained. She just kept crying and crying.
Ning Jiuwei's mind turned over and over again, and she felt the slight alienation between the two people towards her. She had a guess in her mind, but she didn't know what it was.
Thinking of this, Ning Jiuwei's back looked a little lonely. She stood in front of the window, letting the cold wind pour in, and her heart gradually sank. Why did things become like this
'Click'
There was a sudden noise under the window, which made Ning Jiuwei's brows jump. Who was it so late and why did he appear under the window of the palace.
"come out."
As Ning Jiuwei spoke, she used her inner strength to hit the place where the noise came from. The window shattered, revealing the man standing outside.
Wearing a pure black gown and brocade robe, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and indifferent eagle eyes, he stood with his hands behind his back, feeling indescribably aloof and lonely.
"Qin Lin, is it you? Is it really you?" Ning Jiuwei covered her mouth and took a few steps back. Tears suddenly filled her eyes. She couldn't believe this fact.
Looking at Ning Jiuwei's appearance, Qin Lin's bad mood eased slightly after learning the news of Ning Jiuwei's marriage, and his eyebrows gradually calmed down.
Gently stretched out his hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of Ning Jiuwei's eyes, nodded and said, "Well, it's me, I'm back."
Hearing Qin Lin's words, Ning Jiuwei cried even harder. All her fear and grievances burst out and she threw herself into his arms.
"I thought I would never see you again, Qin Lin, do you know that I almost went with you." Ning Jiuwei felt Qin Lin's hot chest and still couldn't believe it.
While Qin Lin gently patted Ning Jiuwei's back and comforted her softly, his eyes suddenly focused on the dead Di Qingchen on the bed.
His body suddenly stiffened, and he asked softly: "Jiu Wei, Di Qingchen... did you kill him?"
"Yes, and no, he bumped into it himself. I can feel it. In fact, he knew that he had been waiting since you fell off the cliff. He knew that I wanted to kill him, Qin Lin, I..." Ning Jiu Wei wanted to say something, but then thought of Long Yurong's cold eyes, and her heart sank even more.
Qin Lin patted Ning Jiuwei's back gently and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here."
At this time, Long Yurong also recovered. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked with a hint of disbelief, "Lin'er, are you still alive? Are you still alive?"
"Yeah." Qin Lin nodded lightly.
To be honest, Qin Lin resented Long Yurong in his heart. If it weren't for her, how could he and Di Qingchen be at such a life-and-death situation? How could he be separated from Jiuwei for so long, and how could he almost be taken over by Di Qingchen.
Long Yurong smiled bitterly and said, "This must be God's punishment for me."
… … .
That night, few people really closed their eyes. Mei Luoxue sat in Luomei Pavilion. Her eyes were red from staying up all night, staring closely at Zhaoyang Palace.
"Mother, the time has come." The bamboo branch blew out the candle on the lamp and reminded softly.
Hearing the voice, Melo Xue seemed to have calmed down. She brushed her fingers from the bright yellow imperial edict on the table and said softly: "It's already been a whole night so fast."
"Yes, empress." Zhuzhi felt sad for his master, and his voice had a hint of crying unknowingly.
Melo Xue suppressed the bitterness in her heart, raised her head and said with a smile: "Silly girl, why are you crying? Isn't this something you have known for a long time? Why are you so unhappy after it happened?"
Zhuzhi raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "I'm just here for my concubine. It's not worth it. Your concubine is such a good person, why would the emperor treat you like this?"
"Okay, stop talking. It's getting late. Let's go to Zhaoyang Palace. If it's later, people should leave." Mei Luoxue's face turned pale, but she still stood up with a smile and said.
Zhuzhi nodded, took the tray with the imperial edict in his hand, and followed Mei Luoxue towards Zhaoyang Hall.
There is always a lot of hoarfrost in the morning. Along the way, the skirts of Mei Luoxue and Zhu Zhi have been wetted, but Mei Luoxue didn't care.
"Empress, Mei Luoxue wants to see you." Mei Luoxue stood outside Zhaoyang Palace and said in a cold and calm voice.
However, there was silence in the room, and no sound came out at all.
But Mei Luoxue remained unmoved. She stood upright in the courtyard, her voice as cold as ever, and said, "Empress, Mei Luoxue wants to see you."
Finally, after the third sound, the door was slowly opened, and Ning Jiuwei put on a plain dress and a cloak of the same color.
"What's the matter so early?" Ning Jiuwei said, closing the door tightly and frowning.
Mei Luoxue turned her head, picked up the imperial edict on the bamboo tray, slowly shook it open, and said, "The Queen accepts the edict."
Ning Jiu was stunned for a moment, but quickly knelt on the ground. She felt a little confused in her heart as to why Di Qingchen left an imperial edict but had to read it out early the next morning.
"The queen's virtuous character, literary and military skills are comparable to mine. Because the emperor's heirs are few and I am afraid that time is running out, I specially drafted a decree from the cabinet to designate the queen as emperor and receive the imperial seal. Concubine Mei is virtuous and virtuous, and assists in the administration of the government. , assisting the queen and serving the country."
After Mei Luoxue finished reading, she shed a tear on the bright yellow imperial edict. Then she raised her head and looked at Ning Jiuwei who was kneeling on the ground. She handed the edict into her hands and picked up the rosewood box, which contained exactly Imperial jade seal.
After doing all this, there was a hint of expectation in Mei Luoxue's eyebrows, and her voice was like floating cotton, and she asked: "Can I...can I go in and see the emperor for the last time?"
When Ning Jiuwei heard Mei Luoxue's words, she clenched her hands holding the imperial edict and lowered her eyes. It turned out that he had already been prepared to die when he got married.
No wonder, no wonder the Imperial Guards are loose on the outside and tight on the inside. No wonder, there was such a big movement yesterday, but there was no reaction in the palace, no wonder... 46
