King Rui saw that her breathing was somewhat difficult, so he hurried to her side, picked her up and went to the hotel where she was staying. Suzaku showed up, paid the money, and chased her all the way.
passed.
"Liu Ruyi!" King Rui shouted urgently.
Su Xiyue leaned into Prince Rui's arms with a pale face, and said with a forced smile, "I'm fine! It's just that when I heard the half-heart shape that the person said, I seemed to think of something, but it only took a moment.
, and I can’t remember anything anymore!”
"Be good, don't think about it anymore if you can't remember it. Be obedient."
"Mingxi, I'm tired and want to take a nap."
"Okay, I'll stay with you." After King Rui said that, he placed her on the bed, then slowly moved to the inside and lay down with her. Then he motioned to Liu Ruyi with his eyes and began to carefully diagnose her pulse.
I don't know if Su Xiyue was really tired, but after a while, her breathing became even and long.
"Your Majesty, the Princess is fine. It may be what she said. But in that short moment, she may have thought of something, but it was too fast and she didn't have time to catch it! Your Majesty, maybe the person she was talking about was
, is the key to this witchcraft.”
"Wearing white clothes, handsome appearance, about thirty years old. He quickly spread these characteristics to the city gate of Suzhou, and then ordered Lu Jiang to cooperate fully to find this person as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
This trip was not in vain. Sure enough, as Su Xiyue said, there was some special meaning to her. It seemed that she was waiting for someone. But when this realization came out, it made him somewhat agitated.
Not happy! Could it be that Su Xiyue went there just to wait for that man in his thirties?
Handsome? Elegant? The more he thought about it, the more he felt a little bored. However, seeing the color on Su Xiyue's face again at this moment, King Rui felt somewhat better. He gently covered her up again.
She took off the quilt and looked at her long eyelashes curling up. The perfect arc looked like a crescent moon!
"Your Majesty, there is news from Beijing." Bai Hu's voice came from the window. King Rui hesitated for a moment, and then got out of bed quietly, so as not to let the ignorant Bai Hu wake up Su Xiyue again.
"what news?"
"Go back to your lord, Concubine Li is dead."
King Rui was shocked, "When did it happen?"
"This is a message from Fei Ge in Beijing. It happened early yesterday morning. The emperor thought that she had added blood to the royal family and had always done her duty since entering the palace, so she was buried with the ceremony of a noble concubine."
"A gift from a noble concubine?" King Rui frowned, thinking carefully about his father's intentions, "What's going on with the queen?"
"Back to your lord, we don't have any at the moment."
"Let people keep an eye on the queen. Furthermore, let people find out the cause of Concubine Li's death as soon as possible and report to me immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Beijing, Kunning Palace.
"Empress Qi, you have been here all night, so you should go back and rest first. This huge harem is still waiting for you to take charge." The nun beside the queen advised.
"It's okay. The seventh prince has a hard life. He has just recovered. How about Concubine Li? Alas!"
"Speaking of which, Concubine Li is also very lucky. You have only been promoted to her position for less than two months, and the canonization ceremony has not even been held yet, so why not?"
The sharp-eyed queen saw the seventh prince's eyelashes trembling slightly on the bed, a hint of calculation and disdain flashed in her eyes, and sighed, "Stop talking, don't let Mingxiao hear it anymore."
"Yes, empress."
"Haha, in the imperial kitchen, prepare some porridge and the like for the Seventh Prince. He must be in a hurry right now and can't eat anything too greasy. In addition, let someone send a few more people to the Seventh Prince's palace to serve him.
.Concubine Li has just passed away, but nothing can happen to Mingxiao again."
"Yes, empress."
The queen gently pulled the quilt for the seventh prince Mingxiao, "Poor child, he is as pitiful as my unfilial son! He has a mother and queen like me, but mother and son are not allowed to see each other. Now you are gone too.
Mother and concubine, heaven and earth are separated forever. I am still alive at least, and there is still a chance to see the emperor again, but what about you? Alas!"
What followed was a long period of silence.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has sent someone to ask if the Seventh Prince has woken up. If he still doesn't, ask the imperial doctor to come over and give the Seventh Prince acupuncture. After all, it is his mother-in-law who is going to be buried."
A father-in-law came over and asked.
"I got it. If I try to call him again, it's better not to call any imperial doctor to give acupuncture. This child just lost his mother, and his heart aches. If he is given a few more needles,
Is this child still alive?"
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say," the nun next to her advised, "My Majesty, if these words reach the ears of the Emperor, you may not know what will happen to others."
"I know, I know that Concubine Hui and Gui Jing are waiting to see my joke! That's all, let them go and do whatever they want. I'm old, and I don't want to always do it.
I argued with them. Now that I have seen that Concubine Li is gone, what else can I not understand?"
"Why are you so emotional today? Don't say that. You are the master of the harem and the most noble woman in the world!" Mammy glanced at the seventh prince on the bed. "No matter who the emperor appoints as the prince,
, don’t I have to call you my mother? We in Daqing have always valued filial piety, who can disobey you?"
"Okay, let's go and check to see if the medicine is ready. I'll call Mingxiao again. Don't delay Concubine Li's funeral."
"Yes, empress."
The queen turned to look at Li Mingxiao on the bed, her lips slightly raised. After all, she is just a twelve-year-old child. Do you really think she can't tell that you have woken up a long time ago and have been pretending to be unconscious? At such a young age, you are defensive.
You have a lot of thoughts. After all, you are a child who has been trained in the palace. It is really different. However, you are obviously too young to put on such a show in front of me!
"Mingxiao, Mingxiao." The queen calmed down her thoughts, and there was some urgency in her voice.
The seventh prince, Li Mingxiao, finally woke up and asked, "Mother?"
"God bless you, you are finally awake! Come on, good boy, get up quickly. Today is the day of mourning for your mother and concubine, and she is waiting for you. Concubine Li is the only child like you. If you don't go, your mother and concubine will be the one to mourn."
Even if you go underground, you will feel uneasy."
"Queen Mother!" Mingxiao's eyes suddenly became hot, and tears burst out, and he threw himself on the Queen's lap, "Queen Mother! The concubine is gone, the concubine is gone! From now on, the child will be the only one left! The child will be alone from now on.
No one hurts, no one loves!"
A smile appeared on the queen's face, but unfortunately, the seventh prince, who had his head buried in the queen's lap, couldn't see it.
