On the way through the flower path, Qi Zi watched the flowers carefully, but only a touch of melancholy was left in her heart. Cuiyi saw Qi Zi's face showing displeasure, and asked: "Mother, what's the matter?"
"Although this imperial garden is large, I have been here no less than three times. Why is there not a Phalaenopsis?" Qi Zi said a little disappointed.
"Your Majesty, I'm confused. How can there be Phalaenopsis in this season? You have to look at Phalaenopsis before or after the Chinese New Year." Cui Yi quickly comforted her.
"Yes, the flowering period of Phalaenopsis is not at this time. It seems that I am really confused."
As I spoke, I approached the edge of Yingyue Lake, with weeping willows on both sides of the bank, flowing in the wind like a girl's hair. Looking around, I saw the fragrance of lotus flowers all over the lake, and the lotus leaves rippled in the wind like waves. "Okay.
Cool aroma," Qi Zi said to himself while leaning on the rockery.
"Your Majesty, go sit down at Fengyi Pavilion, where you can see the entire Yingyue Lake." Cuiyi introduced with a smile.
"No, I just want to stay here quietly for a while."
"Then slave girl, go get some pastries that the queen likes to eat." Cuiyi said happily behind her.
Qi Zi didn't need to bother her, but she wanted to stay alone for a while, so she said, "Okay."
Cuiyi left happily, walking and jumping out of the imperial garden.
Qi Zi deeply sucked the coolness of the lotus. She remembered that Liu Fuzi once taught her: Traditional Chinese medicine records that the aroma of lotus can refresh the mind. She wanted to inhale more of the fragrance to wake up the confusion these days.
Myself. In the lake, a lotus petal fell on the lotus leaf. The water in the lotus leaf swam gently back and forth. The petals fell on it, like a pink boat moving slowly forward. I remember when I was at home,
There was a large vat in the yard, and a lotus plant was planted in the vat. When the flowers bloomed, Yang lay quietly in the rocking chair, smelling the fragrance of the lotus. At this time, Qi Zi began to think about the past.
, imagining herself at home, the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a long-lost smile.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." A soft cry came from behind.
Someone was calling the empress. Qi Zi stood up and looked back. Maybe it was Cui Yi who was back, but the voice didn't sound like it. She looked around and saw Concubine Jin running towards her. Her clothes were messy and her hair was messy.
She formed a ball, running with an angry look on her face and murderous intent in her eyes. Her palace maid Bizhu chased after her, shouting, and an unknown premonition came to her heart.
Face to face, Concubine Jin gasped for breath, and Qi Zi asked: "Concubine Jin, what's wrong with you?"
Unexpectedly, Concubine Jin pointed at her and shouted: "Liang Qizi, you vicious woman with a vicious heart, give me back my child, give back my child." After saying that, she rushed forward to hit Qizi, but luckily Bizhu pulled her away in time.
He said to her: "Mother, mother, let's go back."
Qi Zi took a step back and said, "Concubine Jin, please don't be rude. Your child is gone. Why are you asking me for it? It's not me who made you lose your child."
"It's you, it's you. I've known for a long time that you have no good intentions. You first pretended to beg the emperor to let me keep the dragon seed, but you actually wanted to see me suffer from losing my child, right?"
"You're talking nonsense." This sudden and inexplicable accusation made Qi Zi angry.
"It was you who put medicine in my tea. It was you who made me lose my dragon seed. You gave me the life of my child." Concubine Jin shook off Bizhu hard, took off the only hairpin on her head and held it in her hand, saying to
Prick the wolfberry.
Qi Zi dodged and said, "Jin Fei, please calm down. Who told you that I put medicine in your tea? Do you have any evidence?"
"You brewed all the tea for me, doesn't that explain the problem?" Bizhu said suddenly.
Qi Zi felt strange that Bizhu not only did not stop her master from messing around, but also fanned the flames. What was her purpose? "Bizhu, don't talk nonsense. It's true that I brewed Concubine Jin's tea, but this is not true."
It means I was the one who administered the medicine."
"What's going on?" Another person walked out of the flower path, it was Concubine Mei and her maid Zilan. Seeing such a situation, she was a little surprised, but she couldn't see why she was surprised?
"Sister Jinfei, what are you going to do?" She pointed at Jinfei's hand and said in fear.
"I want to avenge my child." Concubine Jin said with tears.
Concubine Mei looked at Qi Zi, then looked at Concubine Jin and said, "Sister Concubine Jin, the matter is not clear yet, so don't do anything stupid. If the emperor blames you, you can't afford it."
Hearing Concubine Mei's words, Concubine Jin stared at her angrily and said excitedly: "Why, you think it's none of her business, right? Could it be that you are in the same group, and you all want to cause me to lose my dragon seed?"
Wife, right?"
Mei Fei quickly put aside the relationship with Qi Zi and said: "What did my sister say? How could my sister be in the same group with her?"
"Then why are you speaking for her?" Concubine Jin pointed at her and said.
Mei Fei took a step back and said, "Sister, my sister is also doing your best."
"Can you be so kind?" she said doubtfully.
"Yes, sister, what do you think? The emperor personally invited her out of the prison. Not only that, he also restored her identity. It shows that she has weight in the emperor's mind. Sister, you don't have the dragon seed now.
How can you compete with her? If she goes to complain to the emperor, then you will only suffer a loss." Concubine Mei analyzed Li Chang with Concubine Jin in front of Qi Zi, and what she was worried about.
Concubine Mei's words made Concubine Jin's anger grow stronger. She looked directly at Qi Zi and said: "I finally know why you want to kill my child. You want to be the queen, right? If I don't have it anymore,
Children, you can’t rely on your child to be valuable, and you lose the qualification to be a queen, so you used the emperor’s favor to cause me to lose my dragon seed, right? Isn’t that right?”
This woman wanted to be the queen. Qi Zi said: "I don't want to argue with you anymore. Whether you can become the emperor or not has nothing to do with me. Whether you believe it or not, it's up to you."
"So, you admitted it, you admitted killing my child?" Jin Fei twisted her face and yelled.
"You...you are confused." Qi Zi said this and wanted to turn around and leave. Jin Fei raised her hairpin and rushed towards Qi Zi. Just when the hairpin was about to hit Qi Zi, a pebble suddenly flew and hit Jin Fei's face.
His hand and hairpin fell to the ground, making a crisp sound. Qi Zi turned around and saw Xuan Yi and the others striding towards him.
"I, my concubine, come to see the emperor." Everyone knelt on the ground and said, but Qi Zi stood there in shock.
Xuan Yi walked up to Qi Zi and asked gently: "How are you doing? Are you okay?"
Qi Zi was still there, unable to move. Cui Yi gently shook Qi Zi and said, "My dear, my dear, are you okay?"
Xuan Yi turned around and looked at the people kneeling on the ground and shouted: "What are you doing? Concubine Jin, you don't want to die, don't you?"
"Your Majesty..." she cried and shouted: "She killed our child, please make the decision for me."
"Who told you that it was Concubine Die who murdered your child?"
"The tea I drank was prepared by her. Who is she? Your Majesty, you cannot be partial. I know that I have no children. Your Majesty, you are angry, but this is not what I want."
"Shut up, based on this alone, you conclude that she gave you the medicine?" Xuan Yi asked, pointing to Qi Zi.
"Your Majesty." Without Xuanyi's permission, she stood up and shouted: "I have served you for so many years, am I not as good as a woman who has only been in the palace for half a year?"
"That's enough, don't say any more." Xuan Yi said: "Everyone, get up, Bizhu, and help your master go back to rest. I don't want what happened today to happen again in the future, so forget it today."
"My slave obeys the order." Bizhu stepped forward to support Concubine Jin, whose face was full of tears.
"Let's all go back." Xuan Yi shook his hand and glanced at Qi Zi and said, "Go back and have a good rest, Cui Yi, and take good care of her."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I obey your orders." Cui Yi responded. Just now, when she came back from Zhilan Garden and went to the Imperial Garden, she saw Concubine Jin looking for trouble with Qi Zi. She was so frightened that she dropped the fruit plate in her hand and quickly
He ran to the imperial study and found the emperor. Fortunately, he was in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Everyone left slowly, and Xuan Yi also walked about ten steps. Qi Zi stood still and did not move. Jin Fei started to walk with the support of Bi Zhu. She suddenly pushed Bi Zhu to the ground and turned around.
He picked up the hairpin on the ground and stabbed Qi Zi hard.
"Empress..." Bizhu roared, shocking everyone to stop and look back to see this thrilling scene.
Cui Yi stood in front of Qi Zi. The moment Jin Fei raised her hand, Qi Zi pushed Cui Yi away. Her feet slipped and she fell backwards with a serious imbalance in her center of gravity. Her head hit the rockery hard and she stopped.
The rockery was stained red with blood. She closed her eyes in pain and fell into the Yingyue Lake again. Traces of her slipping were left on the lotus leaves. The bright red liquid dispersed in the small water soup in the lotus leaves.
It opened, and when it fell into the water, the waves splashed wet the ground on the shore and the willow leaves...
