Since the New Year is coming soon, it is not advisable to delay the review of Murong Shilan until after the new year, for fear of being unlucky. www. Murong Shilan ordered Su Xi to be recruited as soon as he was personally interrogated, so the Queen and Concubine Jing made the immediate decision to interrogate Murong Shilan overnight. Destroy her into the cold palace.
I temporarily live in Cunju Hall in Meizhuang. Although it is smaller, the two of us have a harmonious friendship. It seems that when we were still young, she and I would often sit side by side on the bed and whisper, while the moonlight poured down from the window like water. , like pear blossoms blooming all over the ground like snow. Meizhuang's hair is extremely long, black and thick, and looks like a piece of fine dark satin flowing out from the gauze under the pure white moonlight.
Meizhuang counted the days on her fingers, "Today is twenty-five, but it cannot be twenty-nine at most. I will definitely die." She chuckled, "It's not in vain that I hurt myself."
I carefully inspected her wound and complained: "You are serious, why bother to burn yourself. Fortunately, it is cold now. If it were summer, it would definitely suppurate."
Mei Zhuang said disapprovingly: "At most, it's just a scar, and it's not a loss in exchange for her life." She added: "If the emperor doesn't let him see with his own eyes how terrible my burn wound is, he will never do it. You know how terrible it is to be burned. Only when you see my injury will the Emperor think of how terrible it would be to burn you, and he hates Murong Shilan even more."
Maybe hatred really makes a person thoughtful. I admire the courage and thoughtfulness of Meizhuang.
Thinking it was because of the injury, her face was a little pale. The bright candlelight was like floating red light, and her skin color was even more transparent when illuminated. She looked at the faintly fragrant narcissus under the south window and murmured. Said: "When Murong Shilan dies in the future, I don't know who I will fight with."
I smiled slightly, with a desolate tone in my words: "It's not easy to fight in this palace, everyone is an enemy. It's easy not to fight, just remain unknown. Newcomers will keep coming in, and my sister is still afraid of what will happen in the future. Will your life be lonely?" I said, "You should still worry about your injuries. After the scars fall off, I'll get you some scar-removing gel. It's the best way to remove scars."
Two mornings later, I went to pay my respects to the queen. Everyone was there. The mausoleum seemed to have completely forgotten what happened in the snow that day. She greeted Meizhuang and me and said, "Sister, if it is inconvenient for me to be at Sister Mei's place, come to my place." That’s good too.”
I smiled and said, "There's nothing inconvenient. It's just a temporary stay. After a while, Tangli Palace will be renovated and we can move there."
She expressed concern to Meizhuang: "Sister Shen, please don't be greedy for eating fish, shrimp and seafood, and you can't drink alcohol. It's not good for the wound."
Just as she was speaking, the Queen spoke: "Murong has no intention of repentance and is evil-minded. She actually ordered her servant Su Xi to set fire to Tangli Palace. This is such an unforgivable crime. This palace is determined to severely punish Murong as a warning to others. Otherwise, there will be no discipline in the harem." The law can be spoken of."
Everyone here has been grudged against Murong Shilan for a long time. Especially on the day when I lost my son and was punished by kneeling down, she ordered the concubines in the harem to sit under the scorching sun to accompany me, which offended the public. At that time, I dared not speak out in anger, but now the queen has done this , but it was very popular, and everyone praised the queen for her "good governance".
The queen muttered: "After all, Murong has served the emperor for a long time, I will leave her body intact." She called Jianqiu: "Go and tell Eunuch Li, prepare poisonous wine, daggers and white silk, and let her herself Let's choose one to end it, and it can be regarded as serving the emperor together with Gu Nian."
Concubine Xingui smiled cheerfully: "The queen is kind, if I change my concubine and see her doing such evil, I will definitely give her a clean break to relieve my anger."
I smiled and said, "Sister Xin is better off as a case-solving censor. If you encounter any case, you can just break it in two. It's the most labor-saving and refreshing."
Concubine Xin Gui smiled and patted me gently and said, "Sister Wan, you have the most tricky mouth."
Everyone laughed for a moment, but Concubine Xiang looked languid. It was not until the Queen asked twice that she answered: "I have been feeling tired recently, and even after taking several medicines, it didn't work. It was really hard in front of the Queen."
Discourteous."
The queen said: "You have to take care of the emperor, and you are busy during the New Year, so you will inevitably be tired." Then she told her to take good care of herself, and everyone left.
When I got up from my nap, I asked Jin Xi, "Eunuch Li, did you say when will Murong be killed?"
She helped me up and rinsed my mouth, and said: "Executions in the Cold Palace are usually carried out at dusk."
I thought about it and smiled and said: "Gress up well for me, I'm going to give this to our noble Concubine Hua."
So I carefully combed an elegant fairy-like bun. The four-butterfly golden steps inlaid with red and blue emeralds shone brightly, as if they were stars shining in the dark clouds. The smoky purple clouds and satin were woven with colorful flowers flying.
Butterfly's brocade dress was edged with rhinestones and blue silk, and emerald green peacock feather threads were woven with flat gold stitches. After finishing dressing up, Jin Xi smiled: "It's rare for a queen to be so gorgeous."
Old and new grudges, my smile was charming but cold: "This is the last time we've seen each other, of course I have to give it away."
The road to Jinleng Palace was already familiar. Murong Shilan huddled alone in a corner of the Leng Palace, neatly dressed and not too slovenly in appearance.
When she saw that I only brought Xiao Lianzi in, she just said: "You are very brave, even Leng Gong dares to come in alone."
I smiled calmly: "I have been to this place much more than you. It was here that I watched Mrs. Yu die."
The corners of her mouth raised slightly, "Are you going to watch me die too?" She had red and phoenix eyes, and when she looked at people sideways, she became more charming and sharp: "The way you are dressed, it doesn't look like you are here to see me off, but you don't look like you are here.
The village women who have seen the world are rushing to celebrate the wedding."
I didn't feel dissatisfied and said with a smile: "How can it not be considered a great joy to see you go to the Western Paradise with my own eyes? Besides, a living village woman is better than a dead one."
She sneered, "What are you so proud of? It's just a plan to frame me!" She became furious, "I have never ordered Su Xi to set fire!" She gasped: "Although he is a member of my palace, he is not my confidant.
, how could I instruct him like this!" In her rage, she rushed towards me and strangled my neck. I didn't avoid it. The moment she was about to approach me, Xiao Lianzi twisted her hands.
Push her against the wall.
The wall powder that had been moldy for a long time fell down with a bang. Half of Murong Shilan's face turned pink and white. She was choked by the wall powder and coughed. She still struggled and shouted: "You wronged me -
—”
I waved the silk and smiled gently, "You are wrong - it was the emperor who wronged you, not me. I just - framed you." Jing and I smiled, "But you are not wronged either.
, Is it your fault that Chun Bin drowned? Is it your fault that you put tapioca powder in Emperor Wen Yi’s food? You ordered Yu Gengyi to poison my medicine, pushed Meizhuang into the water, and pulled Jiang Muyang, Jiang Muyi
I have wronged Meizhuang and faked my pregnancy to fight for favor, but it’s all you, right? It’s really nothing to wrong you by setting Tangli Palace on fire.”
She raised her head and snorted coldly: "I knew that if that cheap maid of the Cao family dared to bite me back, it must have been your instigation. How dare she have the guts!"
I laughed and shook my head, the hanging necklace jingling on my step, and said after a moment: "You really know what people are not. You have repeatedly used Emperor Wen Yi to win favor, and even made fun of her life. Concubine Xiang is her biological mother, why?
There is no reason not to hate. Do you think that her hatred for you only came to her today? It's not as cold as a day. You should have known that she had different intentions."
Her expression changed again and again, and she turned to say contemptuously: "With my great power back then, the Queen, an old woman, still wants to give me a few points. Cao is just a dog under me, how can I take her seriously?"
!”
I brushed the soft wind hair on my sleeves. In the cold and humid cold palace, every word I spoke was accompanied by warm white air. I said calmly: "It would be great if it was a dog. Dogs are the most loyal people. Humanity."
Dogs are different, humans are much more cunning than dogs."
She raised her eyebrows and breathed heavily: "Bitch! You are as cunning as your brother and sister-in-law. If your brother hadn't set up a trick to make the prince relax his guard, how could he have easily obtained that list, Murong and Runan?
The king will not be completely defeated! You inside and outside the palace are working together to kill me!"
"If it weren't for King Runan being domineering and the Murong clan being the accomplice, why would this happen? Don't forget, your husband is the emperor. How can he allow others to sleep soundly on the emperor's pillow? You are so naive to think that the emperor can tolerate them!"
My voice was clear and cold, like ice and snow covering her face, making her still pretty face lose all color.
She slumped down on a pile of hay, holding on to her strength and said: "They are meritorious officials who fought on the battlefield for the Great Zhou Dynasty and made great achievements..."
I interrupted her coldly: "No matter how successful you are in battle, you are still a minister of the king. How can you be above the king? Isn't it treason?"
She was speechless for a long time, and I was silent as well. At this moment, Li Chang brought people in, met with me, and arranged the black wooden plates containing daggers, poisonous wine and white silk in front of Murong Shilan, and presented to her
He said respectfully: "In accordance with the Queen's decree, please choose one of your own."
Murong Shilan came back to her senses, glanced at him, and said coldly: "The Queen's decree? What about the Emperor's decree? Bring it!"
Li Chang still lowered his eyes and said: "Your Majesty means that all the power will be left to the Queen. My Lord, please give me your permission."
She held her breath for a moment and said solemnly: "Without the emperor's imperial edict, I, Murong Shilan, would never die." She smiled sadly, as if with infinite hatred, "He has already personally ordered the death of my father and brother, and he is afraid of issuing another imperial edict.
Give it to me?"
Li Chang just said in a respectful manner: "The Emperor has already said that he doesn't want to hear anything about the young master anymore."
She chuckled and seemed to ask herself: "Does the Emperor hate me so much?" As she said this, she straightened her clothes and hair. The white brocade sachet she wore on her skirt was particularly eye-catching. The aroma was the familiar and familiar "Huanyi Fragrance"
I frowned in disgust at the strong smell and subconsciously took two steps away. She sat down cross-legged and said, "Go and ask for the emperor's orders."
Li Chang was in a dilemma, so I saw the opportunity and said to him: "Eunuch Li, please slow down for a moment. Allow me to say goodbye to Little Master Murong."
Li Chang said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please do as you please. I will just wait outside."
I saw Li Chang going out and said to Murong Shilan with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm used to calling you 'empress' and suddenly you become 'little master'. I'm really not used to changing my name."
She squinted at me and said indifferently: "Whatever, I'm going to die anyway."
I handed the hand stove in my arms to Xiao Lianzi's hand and said, "My hand stove is cold. Go out and add some more charcoal."
Xiao Lianzi was reluctant to leave and said with a wary expression: "She..."
I said, "You go ahead. If there's anything going on, Eunuch Li and the others are right outside."
Xiao Lianzi went out as instructed, and I stood in front of her and said, "Do you know why the emperor hates you?"
She shook her head, caressed the sachet with gentle gestures, and said softly: "The emperor loved me very much in the past. No matter how big a mistake I made, no matter how angry he was, he still would not ignore me for too long."
I said lightly: "Have you ever thought about why the emperor loves you so much?" I sneered: "Is it just because of your beauty? There is no shortage of beautiful women in this palace."
She sneered: "Are you saying that the emperor loves me more because I am a girl from the Murong family? Concubine Duan is also the daughter of a general." She felt a little uneasy and moved again and again.
I looked at her calmly and said, "You actually know it in your heart, so why should you deceive yourself?"
Murong Shilan held her right hand tightly with her left hand and shouted sternly: "You are talking nonsense! How could the emperor not be sincere to me?"
The smile on my cheek grew thicker and I said slowly: "Maybe there is. Even if there is, you and your family have been domineering for many years, and I am really afraid that all the ideas will be used up, and there will be nothing left."
She smiled softly, her smile was simple and sincere, like a light dawn cloud, her expression gradually calmed down, and she said slowly: "Really? I was only seventeen that year, and I had just entered the palace. I only knew that I had a noble status.
, she was granted the title Hua Concubine as soon as she entered the palace. It was a summer morning, and I was riding a horse in the woods of Taiping Palace. I was the only one in the whole palace who dared to ride a horse. Although Concubine Duan was born in a general, she did not dare to cross. As a result, the emperor
showed up, and he stopped my horse. I was very scared at the time, afraid that he would scold me, but I refused to accept it, and wanted to race him in a horse race. But he agreed with a smile, and I beat him in the horse race, and he
She was not angry and rode with me. That night, the emperor favored me." Her thoughts were immersed in the sweet memories of the past. In the dim light of the cold palace, she bloomed like a delicate rose.
On the Deadwood, "I am only seventeen, and I have become the most favored woman in the entire harem. He said that there are so many women in the harem, and all of them are afraid of him, but I am not, so he only likes me."
She sighed faintly: "But there are so many women in the palace, so many that they make me angry. He will sleep with this concubine tonight, and he will sleep with that noble concubine tomorrow night. I often wait and wait, waiting until heaven
It's all bright, but he hasn't come to me yet."
She suddenly looked at me, "Have you ever tried watching the sky from dark to dawn?"
I was speechless, with mixed feelings in my heart. Have you ever? It seems that you have not. I knew early on that he was a king, and his nights did not belong to me alone. I would suffer from insomnia, but I would never wait for him until the sun rises.
She smiled softly. It was cold, and warm white air escaped from the corner of her mouth when she spoke, making her face unreal bright and sad, "You don't like the emperor that much. Soon, I became pregnant, and he
He was very happy to make me your concubine. But gradually he became less happy. Although he didn’t say it, I could feel it. Only the eldest son of the emperor grew up among the children in the palace. I know he was worried about me.
I told him that it was okay, I would definitely give birth to a prince for him. But not long after, I took the anti-fetal medicine brought by Concubine Duan, and my child was gone. Concubine Duan has always been honest, how dare she..."
Her expression was full of grief, almost crazy, and her voice was also shrill, "The imperial doctor told me that it was a male fetus that had already formed!"
Tears rolled down my face, and my heart ached unbearably. I rushed forward and held her wrist tightly, saying harshly: "Your child is gone, do you want my child to be buried with him? He was only four months old in my belly."
, you actually want to put him to death!"
Murong Shilan desperately waved my hand away, but I held it tighter and tighter, leaving several light purple marks on her fair arms. She pushed me desperately, but when she couldn't push me away, she stopped struggling and sneered.
She said twice, breathing heavily: "I didn't want to kill your child! It's your body that's useless. You'll have a miscarriage if you kneel for half an hour. It's you who can't protect your child. Why bother blaming me!" She said
His face turned red from struggling hard: "I hate that the emperor only favors you! I have never seen the emperor favor a woman so much. With you here, the emperor doesn't care about me anymore. I don't want to wait for the emperor until dawn anymore.
, any woman who dares to compete with me for favor will die! I asked Yu Geng to kill you with poison, but I didn’t want to kill your child!"
I pushed her away, threw her wrist away, and looked at her sachet. Tears rolled down my face, and my heart was full of resentment. "You don't have it? Even if you don't mean it, if you don't have it in your palace,
'Huanyixiang', how could I lose my child after being weak and kneeling for half an hour!"
She was surprised and frightened: "Huan Yixiang?"
I laughed, my hot tears gradually turning cold, and said: "Do you know why you didn't conceive again for a long time after losing your child? Did you know that there is musk in the 'Huanyixiang' you used? You have been using it for so long, and you will never be pregnant again."
There will be no more children.”
Her face was horribly distorted with anger and fear: "You are talking nonsense! That incense was given to me by the emperor, how could you..."
I sneered again and again: "Why not? If it wasn't the emperor's intention, why didn't any imperial doctor tell you that your body contains musk! Not to mention your infertility, do you think your miscarriage was due to Concubine Duan's anti-fetal medicine? Duan
The concubine is just a false name for the emperor, no matter how many red flowers you give her, you can't give her back your child."
She was stunned, and she held the sachet tightly in her hand, as if she wanted to crush it. After a long time, she laughed wildly, and asked foolishly: "Why? Why?"
There was a moment of unbearability in my heart, but soon I hardened my heart and said word by word: "Because you are the daughter of the Murong family and a member of the King of Runan. If you give birth to a child, they will take the young son and dethrone the emperor..." I didn't say
If she goes down, she will naturally know the pros and cons.
Concubine Hua's clothes were covered with tears. After a while, she stopped crying, and the tears on her cheeks dried up. She just looked up to the sky and laughed, her body trembling violently: "Your Majesty - Your Majesty, he has caused me so much pain!"
Before the laughter ended, I heard a "bang" sound, and warm blood suddenly splashed onto my face. I quickly closed my eyes and took two steps back. When I opened my eyes again, her head was hitting the wall, and the whole
The man fell limply to the ground, holding only the sachet containing "Huanyi Incense" in his hand. He never let go until his death. The snow-white wall was dripping with bright red, and dots of blood were stained like a tree blooming with bright red.
Dazzling peach blossoms.
My face and clothes were all stained with blood. My whole heart seemed empty, and I stood unable to move for a long time.
So quiet, as quiet as death.
I subconsciously wiped my face and clothes with silk, and suddenly I heard a "squeaking" sound, and a fat gray mouse quickly ran over Murong Shilan's body with wide eyes.
I just felt scared and sour in my heart. I choked with a "gurgling" sound in my throat and turned around quickly to go out.
Seeing me running out in a hurry, Li Chang stopped me and said, "Mother." When he saw that I was covered in blood, he looked even more anxious and confused.
I managed to calm down and said: "Little Master Murong killed himself, you can go back and recover."
He was startled and quickly said as usual: "Yes. I'll go and clean it up."
I nodded and walked out slowly.
The air is cold, there is a cold pain in the tip of my nose, and my hands and feet are cold. Murong Shilan is dead, the woman I hated.
I should be happy, right? But I don't feel that way, I just feel miserable and desolate. She who entered the palace at the age of seventeen to drive Ma Chenghuan would never have thought that she would end up like this.
A woman who had lived in the palace for so many years, she was personally designed by her bed partner to lose her child and became infertile for the rest of her life.
All her sorrow is just because she is the daughter of Xuan Ling's political enemy, and she lost her sobriety and intelligence because of Xuan Ling's deliberate pampering.
I raised my eyes and saw that it was getting dusk, and the dark branches of the old trees were withered and twisted into a desolate posture. The boundless snowfield stretched endlessly, and the sound of firecrackers sounded in the distance, and a ray of the setting sun was like blood.
I breathed a sigh of relief, New Year is coming.
Murong Shilan's death was buried in the New Year's celebrations, and no one paid any attention to it. After her death, this once-prominent beloved concubine only received the character "Shun" as a posthumous title. There was no posthumous title or funeral, and she was hastily buried in the same grave.
The maids in the palace were busy guarding the palace, and concubine Xiang Guifei, who could not afford to be ill, was not able to attend the New Year's Palace audience.
After hearing the posthumous title of Murong Shilan, Concubine Duan chuckled and said to me: "Shun? She has never been 'docile'. This posthumous title is really ironic."
Concubine Duan's health gradually improved, and she began to attend some New Year's banquets one after another, filling the vacancy of the former concubine Hua. Under the simple structure of one queen, two concubines and three noble concubines, life in the harem was extremely peaceful. Among the new nobles,
, the Ni family from the auspicious noble family was gradually left out, while the Li family from the lucky noble family was not favored because of her inferior appearance. She didn't care and always looked cheerful. The Luo family from the Rui noble family had an elegant posture. Although she was not too flattering and wanted to win favors, she still
He is also highly appreciated by Xuan Ling. And the one who is most favored is none other than Qi Guiren Guan.
I sat in Concubine Duan's incense palace, slowly peeled an orange, and threw the peel into the charcoal basin. Soon there was a fresh smell in the palace. Concubine Duan took a handful of the moon and slowly spread it on her face.
Massage, said: "When I woke up yesterday, I noticed that there were wrinkles at the corners of my eyes, and then I remembered that I am already twenty-seven."
I smiled and said, "I've seen that my wife is very interested in dressing up recently."
She smiled lightly: "Really? Women, they are all the same."
I bowed politely, and she asked in surprise: "What are you doing?"
I said: "Su Xi is not Murong's confidant, and Murong did not cause him to set the fire. Although he denied it at the time, he did it later. I think it must be the empress. Only the empress can be in the palace.
Arrange for such a person without being suspected."
She smiled, her eyes narrowed, gentle yet sharp, and said calmly: "Yes, who would care about a concubine who has been sick for a long time. But then again, if the queen and concubine Jing hadn't tried it, I'm afraid this matter wouldn't be easy to get over.
."
I calmed down and said, "It doesn't matter who you are. It's really difficult to find someone in this palace who likes Murong. Besides, anyone will do it to add insult to injury."
Concubine Duan pulled me up and said, "You don't need to thank me, I'm just doing it for myself."
I laughed: "There's just one thing I can't figure out. Since it was arranged by the empress, why didn't I set the fire earlier? I had to peek outside for several days and was discovered by my slaves."
She slowly swallowed a piece of orange and said with a smile: "Originally, there was no need for you to do it yourself, but unfortunately those days were just when the snow was melting, and it was humid outside and it was difficult to light a fire, so it was delayed for a few days." She paused and then said:
"It doesn't matter even if you are caught. If you have ready-made flint and kerosene on you, you can charge Murong Shilan with evil intentions."
I smiled happily: "It's a pity that the crime is not as serious as burning the palace and hurting people." I looked at her, "I can finally take revenge, but I wonder if you have planned for your future?"
She waved her hands in confusion, her eyes dim: "In the future? I have no children, who can I rely on in the future?"
I was about to answer her when suddenly Jin Xi came in hurriedly and said: "Mother, Xianggui's concubine is dead."
I was startled, and immediately calmed down and said, "Go and take care of it. Don't forget the etiquette of what you want to give. I will rush to Hexu Palace later."
When Concubine Duan saw her going out, she looked at me and said, "Have you arranged everything without any mistakes?"
I said calmly: "Yes. I took the medicine half a month ago, and I calculated that it would be an attack today. Dr. Wen was very careful about the dosage of the medicine, so there would be no mistakes. I asked him privately, and he said that he often had nightmares after taking the medicine.
In addition, she was the one who reported on Murong Shilan when she was deposed, and now she is dead. It is so perfect that everyone will think that she died of a heart attack caused by guilt."
Concubine Duan thought for a moment and said, "That's good. Cao Qinmo is very scheming, and he also knows that you brought down Murong Shilan. It would be difficult to deal with it if you contradict him." She thought about it and said, "Doctors have a parental heart.
It's really hard for Dr. Wen, he can't compare to our character."
I bowed my head slightly. Wen Shichu was always willing to do it for me, even if it meant killing people, as long as he could save me, he would do it, even though he couldn't bear it in his heart.
Although Cao Qinmo and I work hand in hand, we are wary of each other. It is absolutely unwise to kill openly, and assassination may not be clean and tidy. The only way to do it is to drop the drug and leave no trace.
It's just that, although I was touched by Wen Shichu's actions, I didn't really take it to heart. I wonder if women in the world are like me. If a man doesn't love him, he won't care about it no matter how much he gives.
I calmed down my thoughts, raised the corner of my mouth slightly, and sneered: "Murong Shilan wouldn't be so vicious if she hadn't been making suggestions from the side."
Concubine Duan nodded and said: "She betrayed Concubine Hua for her own gain, so there is no guarantee that she will not betray you in the future. Although Concubine Hua is fierce and domineering, without the support of the family, she has become a tiger without claws and is nothing to be afraid of. But Cao Qinmo
It's not easy to deal with. Once she dies, there will be no worries." Concubine Duan smiled coldly: "Murong Shilan punished you to kneel in the sun that day. If Cao Qin is willing to explain and advise, and if Concubine Hua listens, your child may not be born.
That’s it. And when you were pregnant, who was it that you bumped into Tian’s belly in the Queen’s Palace?”
I looked at the skylight outside the window, and saw the cold luster on my armor. I said calmly: "Kill him, just kill him. There is no need for the queen to mention what happened that day. It will only make her more annoying."
She sighed, "I'm just sorry that Emperor Wen Yi lost her mother at a young age."
I turned around, raised the curtains, and smiled indifferently towards Cao Qinmo's palace: "Wasn't the empress worried just now that she would have no one to rely on in her old age? Emperor Wen Yi has an adoptive mother like the empress, so she must be well-behaved and sensible, and the emperor should have no objections.
of."
She laughed silently, "Is this the great gift you mentioned before?"
I pursed my lips quietly and said, "Your Majesty loves Di Ji so much, so she will definitely treat her as her own child and love her even more. This is the best possible destination. I hope Xiang Guifei can have a smile on her face." I sighed:
"Jin Xi once advised me to remove the weeds to avoid causing trouble in the future. But after all, Emperor Ji is still young, but I can't do this."
She looked at me quietly and smiled brightly: "If she was raised by my hands, even if Emperor Wen Yi knew the cause of her biological mother's death in the future, she would definitely be concerned about the nurturing feelings of my adoptive mother."
I smiled slightly: "Di Ji is still young, so she may not remember her birth mother when she grows up. What's more, her birth mother is not as close as her adoptive mother. With her care, she may not know how Xiang Guifei died."
Concubine Duan said sincerely: "I must love Emperor Wen Yi very much and promise her everything I can give her."
Seven days later, Concubine Xiang's funeral was held and she was posthumously named Concubine Xiang. Because it was in the first month of the year, the funeral ceremony was simple. Since the queen had already raised the eldest son of the emperor, Emperor Wen Yi gave Concubine Duan the care of her, but Concubine Jing was quite fond of her.
She sighed and said to me privately: "I really envy Concubine Duan. With a child, she can not only spend her daily time, but also have someone to rely on in the future."
I smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are in your prime. If you want to have children, why don't you worry about not having children?" As I said this, I started to worry, why did I still not have children after such a long miscarriage, and the holy family was so prosperous?
Thinking of this, sadness gradually filled my heart.
