This child was precociously intelligent. Mu Yunhan didn't want him to work too hard, so he smiled and said, "It's nothing."
Yan'er fell silent, drank the medicine obediently, and then lay on the bed in a daze with her eyes open.
Mu Yunhan asked him to sleep, but he whispered: "Aunt Mu, am I going to die soon? Without my second brother, the rebels will invade the capital and everyone will die."
This child is rare and transparent, but it is also very sad.
Mu Yunhan patted his back and coaxed softly: "It's okay, Concubine Xi has misunderstood. The rebels are still far away from the capital."
"Don't lie to me. I understand everything. I know what death means. I have seen many people die in front of me."
Yan'er grabbed two of her fingers, leaned on the pillow and looked at the wall and said, "Aunt Mu, go home. I'm ready and I don't want you to accompany me."
Mu Yunhan was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Yan'er peeking at her from the corner of his eye, and guessed that he was telling lies. He was actually reluctant to let her go.
She smiled and hugged him tightly, put her face against his back and whispered softly: "No, I promised to stay with you. You will get better soon. We don't care what is going on outside, as long as you get better,
I’ll just try to take you out to see what it’s like outside.”
Yan'er's eyes lit up as expected: "Really?"
He stretched out his fingers to hook up with her: "I will eat well, take medicine and sleep. I will definitely get better. Remember to take me with you."
He glanced at her quickly and whispered: "I have no father or mother. I am very pitiful. No one wants me except you."
Childlike cunning. Mu Yunhan chuckled: "Okay."
The two lay quietly, and soon fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Mu Yunhan woke up from his sleep, hurriedly ran outside, and woke up Xiaomi: "No, I always feel that there is something wrong with Concubine Xi's words. Please go and have a look."
There were too many things going on at that time, and Yan'er happened to wake up and interrupted her, so she didn't understand it in detail. Thinking about it now, those words seemed like a farewell.
Xiaomi's drowsiness suddenly disappeared and she rushed over quickly.
Mu Yunhan was so distraught that he saw a half-finished inner garment of Yan'er in the basket, so he picked it up and sewed it haphazardly.
Xiaomi went there but didn't come back. She felt vaguely that something was wrong, so she put down her sewing and went out to the courtyard to take a look.
Zhifang put on her clothes and stood up, looking at her carefully: "Madam, what's wrong?"
Mu Yunhan said: "Listen..."
She seemed to hear a faint cry coming from afar.
But Zhifang didn't hear anything: "Madam, I didn't hear anything."
Suddenly, Xiaomi jumped from the wall and landed in front of the two of them. Zhifang was startled, and Mu Yunhan asked anxiously: "How is it?"
Xiaomi sighed: "I'm late, slave."
Concubine Xi tidied herself up neatly and committed suicide in the dead of night.
If Xiaomi hadn't rushed to see it, the palace attendants around her wouldn't have noticed anything happened.
Mu Yunhan's eyes suddenly turned red, and warm tears flowed down his face uncontrollably.
She didn't know Yun Lian very well, they had only met a few times and talked to each other a few times. However, she also knew that Yun Lian was actually Gu Fenglin's person, so she had been doing her best to take care of Yun Lian's mother and son.
But they left one after another under her nose like this, and she couldn't bear it.
"Who, what happened to who?" Zhifang's face turned pale.
"Concubine Xi." Xiaomi helped Mu Yunhan in: "This matter will definitely be hidden from the Empress Dowager again. Do you want our people to make arrangements?"
