Fucha House.
Erqing's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and her movements are getting more and more difficult. Most of the time, like today, she sits in a chair and allows the maid beside her to rub her shoulders, feed her, and say something interesting to make her happy.
"Where did Fu Heng go?" Er Qing asked after eating a red date.
Du Juan hurriedly replied: "I received emergency military information today, and the young master has entered the palace by order. At this hour, it should be in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."
Er Qing smiled: "The queen just lost the seventh elder brother, the emperor is the biological father, and Fu Heng is the uncle, but these two are not by the queen's side, the man is really cruel!"
Du Juan lowered his head, not daring to take her words if he was not good.
The queen suffered such a big trouble, and the news came back to Fucha's house overnight. The old lady immediately fainted and woke up, crying all the time. Her eyes couldn't see clearly, but now she cried a lot, and it became more and more difficult. Not useful anymore. The old man had a deep relationship with her husband and wife. Seeing the old wife like this, he felt very uncomfortable. Overnight, a lot of white hair was born.
Not to mention Fu Heng, he went out today with a sullen face. Anyone who knew his temperament would know that he entered the palace this time to find justice for his sister.
Up and down, Er Qing was the only one who was indifferent and didn't take the queen's affairs to heart. She still had a leisurely time to enjoy the flowers and ate a few more dates.
She bit another jujube in her mouth and chewed it for a while. Du Juan stretched out her hand, Erqing spat out the jujube core in her palm, then took out the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, saying, "I am the queen's sister-in-law, so I should replace the forehead. Niang entered the palace to visit the empress, what do you think?"
Du Juan was stunned: "But the young master doesn't allow you to go out..."
"Think about it and talk to me again." Er Qing gently stroked her belly and said slowly, "Fu Heng is your current master, and this is your future master..."
Du Juan looked at her belly with a complicated expression.
"Let's go." Er Qing stretched out her hand and motioned her to help herself up, "Send me into the palace."
The arrival of this rare visitor surprised Mingyu.
"Why are you here?" she asked, her voice was hoarse and her eyes were a little red, apparently crying all night.
"I'm here to visit the Empress." Er Qing said.
Mingyu glanced hesitantly at the depths of the bedroom, it was dark inside, all the windows were closed, the thick curtains fell, and it was as silent as a huge tomb: "My lord, I don't want to see anyone now."
Erqing sighed: "I know, but the more you stay alone, the easier it is to think about it. Let me talk to the empress alone."
Seeing that Mingyu was still a little hesitant, Erqing took her hand and was as affectionate as before: "I used to be the person who understood the mother's heart the most, and the daughter-in-law of the Fucha family. It is my duty to take care of the mother. Mingyu , let me in, even if I can't persuade the empress, it's always a comfort."
If Mingyu could persuade the queen herself, she would not need her help, but she was stupid, and the most eloquent Wei Yingluo was not by her side, so she could only pin her hopes on this old man from Changchun Palace and sighed, "Okay. , you go in and try."
Er Qing smiled slightly and walked into the bedroom.
Looking at the closed door in front of her, Mingyu murmured, "Yingluo, when will you be back..."
"Sister Mingyu!" Pearl's voice came from the side, "The imperial doctor asked you to come over..."
"Hey, here we come!"
As soon as the queen fell, Changchun Palace lost its backbone, and everything big and small was on Mingyu's shoulders.
After only dealing with it for half a day, Mingyu felt powerless and missed Wei Yingluo more and more: "These messy things should be handed over to her. She can keep things in order, but I make it worse and worse..."
By the time the treatment was over, she was exhausted, and suddenly remembered that Er Qing was still in the bedroom, and hurried back, just as the door of the hall opened, Er Qing walked out with a faint smile on her face, as if she had encountered something. happy things.
"How is it?" Mingyu asked expectantly, "Is your mother in a better mood?"
Er Qing smiled: "It's naturally much better with me talking with you."
Mingyu let out a long sigh, and when she was not careful, she blurted out the biggest worry in her heart: "I'm afraid that the maiden won't be able to think about it..."
Knowing that she had lost her words, she kept her mouth shut. The opposite Er Qing also gave her face, deliberately pretended not to hear what she just said, and smiled: "Don't worry, the empress is tolerant and open-minded, she will understand sooner or later. It's not early, I should go out of the palace before giving the key to the palace gate, you Take good care of the queen."
Mingyu sent Erqing away, and lingered at the gate of the palace for a while, until the sun went down and the gate of the vermilion palace sank, and she sighed, knowing that Wei Yingluo would not be able to come back tonight, so she returned to Changchun Palace with a dejected expression.
The palace attendants lit candles.
Xu is because of the desolation in his heart, and even looking at the candle flame, he thought it was a bright tear.
Mingyu stared at the candle on the table, and suddenly a voice came from behind: "Mingyu."
Mingyu came back to his senses immediately, turned around and ran to the bedside: "Niangniang!"
The Empress did not know when she woke up, she slowly turned her head, her eyes were clear, only because of the serious injury, so she looked a little haggard, but her voice had returned to the usual gentleness: "Bengong is hungry and wants to eat something. ."
"Okay, okay." Mingyu smiled with tears in his eyes, "The servant immediately ordered the small kitchen to prepare."
Queen: "You loosen the rope first."
"This..." There was a hint of hesitation on Mingyu's face.
"Why, don't you want to tie Ben Gong all the time?" The queen smiled softly at her, "Ben Gong is already healed."
Mingyu looked at her carefully for a moment, and seeing that her expression was as usual, and that she was no longer in a mad state, so she put down her doubts and untied her.
After the untethering, the queen did not attack, but just rubbed her wrist with the rope marks, and said softly: "Bengong wants to eat the Jiangmi rice cake you made."
"Okay, okay." Mingyu nodded and hesitated again, "Do it now, it will take a long time to complete, you haven't dripped water all day, why don't you let the kitchen prepare barley rice porridge first, okay?"
The queen shook her head, looking a little stubborn: "No, this palace just wants to eat the Jiangmi rice cake you made."
"Okay." Mingyu couldn't bear to refuse her, so she had to say, "The servant will do it immediately, the maiden has a good rest, the servant will be ready, and I will send it to you immediately."
Looking at the back of her hurriedly leaving, the queen suddenly shouted, "By the way... is Yingluo back?"
"No." Mingyu shook her head, feeling very regretful in her heart. If she had Yingluo's company, the Empress would be much better off.
The queen said disappointedly: "Bengong knows, you can go."
The queen didn't really want to eat Jiangmi rice cakes, but deliberately chose this time-consuming snack in order to be able to support enlightened jade.
Not long after Mingyu left, the queen slowly got off the bed and walked out of the bedroom step by step.
The cold wind blew through the empty branches, and the jasmine flowers had withered away at some point, leaving the empty branches swaying in the wind, with endless desolation and desolation.
The queen's gaze crossed the empty branch and looked at the corner tower not far away, with the same desolate and desolate smile on her face, and said softly: "My life is really wrong every step of the way."
Pulling off the bead hairpin on her head, she threw it on the ground without caring. The queen smiled and said, "I don't like to be restrained by nature, but I married into the royal family and became the queen of the Qing Dynasty."
A bright moon was thrown on the ground, and was run over mercilessly by the soles of her shoes, she raised her hand and picked the bright moon on the other ear, and said with a smile, "If I can be a model of the Six Houses in peace, I will pay it back. But I am greedy for the love of my son and daughter, and delusional to get the love of the emperor..."
The golden hairpins and the jade rings on the ears fell off her like her, just like her persistent past, persistent responsibility, and persistent love.
Before she knew it, there was nothing else on the queen's body except a plain white dress. She stood on a high turret with her clothes showing in the wind.
"I make mistakes again and again, my biggest mistake is to give birth to Yonglian Yongcong." She closed her eyes in pain, "You two shouldn't devote yourself to me, as a mother, I can't protect you, everything is It was my fault… "
Pattering rain fell from the sky, sandwiched with fine snow. The queen slowly opened her eyes and looked at the sky, raised her hand to pick up a piece of rain and snow, the snow melted in her palm, and her heart was very sad, it seemed that God was punishing her. It starts to rain.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She said sorry three times, to her family, to the emperor, and to the two children who died, and finally smiled with tears, "I'm sorry, Yingluo, I promised to wait for you to return to the palace, but unfortunately, I can't wait... But, you have to be happy for me, from now on, I will no longer be the queen, only Fucha Rongyin, I - just Fucha Rongyin!"
She suddenly opened her arms, like a white bird, jumping down from the corner tower of the Forbidden City.
