Cabbage was stunned for a moment, and then asked urgently: "How could the girl... how could she become like this?"
"She took an acute poison, which caused her death in the middle of the night. As for the specific poison, I have to wait until I get back to study it slowly." At this point, the imperial doctor was also a little confused. "How did she die?"
The poison you took? Don’t you all know?”
Cabbage smiled miserably: "How do I know what the poison is? When the waitress went to sleep last night, she was still fine and there was nothing wrong with her. But this morning she became like this. I don't even know what happened..."
As she said this, she couldn't help but blush. She grabbed the last bit of luck and asked eagerly: "Are you sure the girl can't be saved? Show her again and take a closer look. Maybe she can still be saved.
!”
The imperial doctor was forced by her to have no choice but to examine Miss Le again. He shook his head: "No, she is really hopeless. You should help her prepare for her funeral."
The words of the imperial doctor were like a knife, instantly cutting off all hope of cabbage and magnolia!
They stood there blankly, their minds blank.
Seeing them like this, the imperial doctor couldn't bear it and said softly: "The matter has come to an end, please forgive me and accept the change."
How can we express condolences? If His Majesty finds out about this, both of them will be completely ruined!
Magnolia couldn't help crying again. She was still so young and still had a great life without enjoyment. She didn't want to die in such a muddle!
After being stunned for a moment, Cabbage respectfully asked the imperial physician: "Please also ask the imperial physician to report this matter to your majesty so that your majesty can handle the matter as soon as possible."
Today is a great day for the emperor. Who dares to touch this bad luck? The imperial doctor waved his hands hurriedly and said: "This matter has nothing to do with me. I am only responsible for treating patients and saving people. Whether I can save them or not, whatever happens next will be up to me."
It’s irrelevant, you can find a way to inform His Majesty yourself, I have something else to do, so I’ll go ahead and take my leave.”
After saying that, he carried the medical kit on his back, as if there was a tiger chasing him behind his back, and ran away quickly in fright.
Yulan wiped her tears and said with choked sobs: "What should we do now? Your Majesty will definitely blame us! Oh, oh, oh, I don't want to die yet!"
Cabbage's eyes were also red. She knelt down by the bed, looked at Miss Le, and couldn't help crying sadly: "How could it be like this? You were obviously fine yesterday, why are you just... gone now!"
"
She is different from Yu Lan. She has already known Xiao Lezi when she was still in Tianyi Palace. Over the years, the two have become very good friends, even if she is now assigned by His Majesty to Xiao Lezi as a palace maid, Xiao Lezi
He never regarded her as a real maid, and there was still a friendship between them.
Faced with Xiao Lezi's sudden departure, Cabbage felt not only panic, but also sadness and sadness.
Cabbage shed tears silently. She helped Xiao Lezi push the hair from her forehead behind her ears. Suddenly she noticed a piece of paper under the pillow. She immediately pulled the paper out. It turned out to be a letter.
Fortunately, she was literate and after reading it briefly, she realized that this was the suicide note left by Xiao Lezi before his death.
Yulan noticed the letter in her hand and came over immediately. Unfortunately, Yulan didn't know how to read, so she had to ask blankly: "What's written on it?"
Cabbage pondered for a moment, carefully put the letter away, and said expressionlessly: "This is the life-saving talisman that Miss Le left for us. With it, we may not be punished."
"Really?" Yulan turned from worry to joy, staring at her with wide eyes.
Cabbage took a deep breath and said calmly: "Well, you stay here, close the doors and windows, and don't allow anyone to come near here. I'll go find your Majesty right now. He must make the decision on this matter."
Yulan looked at her worriedly: "Today is your majesty's happy day. If you go to report the funeral now, what will you do if your majesty is angry and turns his anger on you?"
Cabbage gave her a reassuring look and said, "Don't worry, I have my own sense of caution and everything will be fine."
Hearing what she said, Yulan could only say calmly: "Well, I'll wait here for you to come back. You should be careful."
After Cabbage left, Yulan quickly locked the doors and windows, but she didn't dare to stay alone with a dead person. She guarded the door uneasily, hoping that Cabbage would come back soon.
Today is the emperor's happy day. The palace is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. There are bright red and festive characters everywhere. The palace maids in brightly-colored dresses are busy with their faces in an orderly manner under the command of the leading female officer.
What a lively scene.
Cabbage walked quickly on the road, passing through the happy laughter of the palace ladies. The joyful atmosphere around her formed a strong contrast with her heavy heart.
At this moment, she seemed to understand why Xiao Lezi chose to commit suicide.
When everyone was rejoicing, only Xiao Lezi was hiding in a forgotten corner. Now that she is dead, only the two little palace maids Cabbage and Yulan know about it. The others are still immersed in the joy of the new queen entering the palace.
among.
Cabbage came outside the Jinhua Palace and was stopped. She wanted to see His Majesty, but the guard guarding the door saw that she was just an ordinary palace maid and refused to let her in.
In desperation, Cabbage had to find another eunuch, quietly stuffed him with a purse, and begged: "I want to see Eunuch Xia, please help me pass the message, please!"
The little eunuch weighed the purse in his hand and immediately said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go look for it for you."
Cabbage thanked me profusely: "Thank you! I'm waiting for you here. Please hurry up as much as possible. I'm really in a hurry and life is at stake!"
Most of the people who came here to ask for help were urgent, but when he heard the words "human life is at stake", the young eunuch was still startled. He couldn't help but ask more: "What happened?"
Cabbage frowned and looked sincerely: "This matter is a long story, and I can't explain it clearly at this moment. Please hurry up and help me pass it on. I'm here to kneel down for you!"
As she said that, she was about to kneel down, and the little eunuch jumped away quickly. There were people coming and going around here, and it would be bad if someone saw him. He said quickly: "Okay, okay, I'll go find someone right now. You
Don't run around, I'll be back soon!"
Cabbage thanked him hurriedly and watched him run into the palace. Not long after, the little eunuch ran out again. He said helplessly: "It's an unlucky time for you to come. Your Majesty has set up a stage in Tingyin Pavilion, and now everyone has gone."
Eunuch Xia also went to watch a play in Tingyin Pavilion. I am afraid that I won’t be able to come back for a while, so why don’t you come back in the evening?”
"No, it will be too late to wait until night for this matter, right? Tingyin Pavilion, right? I'll go there and look for it!" Cabbage turned around and ran away in a hurry.
The little eunuch was still in a dilemma at first. He collected the purse but failed to accomplish anything. He was thinking about returning half of the money in the purse. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, she ran away without a trace.
Ask about the wallet.
He was immediately happy and got a pocket for free, which was great!
Cabbage hurriedly ran to burn incense. When she approached Tingyin Pavilion, she vaguely heard the cheerful sound of gongs and drums. When she ran to the door of Tingyin Pavilion, the sound of gongs and drums became clearer and clearer, accompanied by famous actors.
The melodious singing is really lively.
She was stopped at the door, so she had to take out two more purses and beg the nun guarding the door to help her pass the news. She did not dare to directly ask to see His Majesty, so she had to say that she was asking to see Eunuch Xia.
It was just a meeting with the father-in-law, it was not anything particularly difficult. The two nuns accepted the purses readily, and one of them turned around and walked in to pass the news. After a while, Eunuch Xia came out.
Cabbage hurriedly stepped forward to salute, her eyes were red, and she ignored the pleasantries and said, "Father! Something happened to the girl!"
Eunuch Xia originally heard that a palace maid was asking for an audience, and was still wondering who it was. When he went out and saw Cabbage, he immediately felt uneasy in his heart. When he heard what Cabbage said, his eyelids twitched, thinking that he was really scared.
Whatever comes!
Eunuch Xia frowned and said, "Follow me."
He turned around and left, and Cabbage hurriedly followed, and the two entered the Tingyin Pavilion.
The Tingyin Pavilion is a place specially used for listening to plays in the palace. It is a square ring-shaped building with a huge grandstand in the middle courtyard. Guests sit in the surrounding boxes, which is quiet and can see clearly.
Panoramic view to the stage.
Cabbage was taken to a secluded small room, and Eunuch Xia asked her seriously: "What is going on?"
Cabbage hurriedly told the whole story. At the end, she couldn't help but shed tears again, her voice choked with sobs: "Today is a good day for Your Majesty. If it is just an ordinary matter, even if you give me great courage, I will not do it."
I dare to disturb His Majesty's mood, but... But Miss Le is like this! She usually treats me like a sister, but now I have to come and tell Your Majesty even if I risk my life!"
Eunuch Xia was very surprised. He did not expect that such a big situation would happen to Xiao Lezi at this time. This was not a small matter. If His Majesty found out, Long Yan would be furious.
He walked back and forth impatiently, frowning and said: "The queen has just entered the palace. The queen mother is very happy. She is watching a play with the female family members in the palace. Your majesty is also accompanying her out of filial piety. If I go to tell your majesty about this now, not only will it be
It will make His Majesty angry, and it will also make the Queen Mother unhappy. It’s such a coincidence that this happened!”
Cabbage just lowered his head and wiped his tears without speaking.
After a while, Eunuch Xia suddenly stopped and turned to look at her: "Did you just say that Miss Le left a suicide note? Have you brought the suicide note?"
"I brought it, it's with me," Cabbage quickly took out a piece of letter paper from her arms and handed it to him with both hands.
He carefully unfolded the letter and glanced at the content above. After reading it, his anxiety calmed down a little. He sighed helplessly and said with emotion: "This Miss Le is a kind person. She can survive even when she is dying."
I want to save you two little girls, but I’m too stubborn, so why can’t I just think about it!”
Cabbage's tears flowed even more fiercely. She cried and said, "The girl is a good person. I ask my father-in-law to help me tell her a message so that the girl can have a good death."
Without the emperor speaking up, even if Xiaolezi died, no one would dare to touch her body. Although the weather has turned cold now, if left for a long time, the body would inevitably rot and produce a peculiar smell. Cabbage couldn't bear to see her die without a good death.
, knelt on the ground and kept pleading with Eunuch Xia, asking him to help pass the message. Even if they could only get a word from His Majesty, they would be able to properly place Xiao Lezi's body. (To be continued)
