Jiaohua

Chapter 1334

Concubine Mu Gui sat in the side hall, holding a bowl of ginseng tea on her lap.

Because her mind was seriously distracted, the bowl of ginseng tea was poured out. Gradually, the tea fell on her plain skirt and trickled down along the hanging light blue silk embroidered belt.

The big maid at the side noticed the movement and said in shock: "Your Majesty!"

Only then did Concubine Mu find out.

The maid of honor wiped it with a towel to no avail, then lowered her head and said: "Your Majesty, this servant will go back and get a piece of clothes in exchange."

Concubine Mu Gui nodded, and looked at the "culprit" aside, there was only half a bowl of ginseng tea left.

The sound of the rain outside the house was getting louder, the maid of honor went out from the side door, and after opening the umbrella, the rain from the eaves fell on the umbrella surface, which was very crisp.

Concubine Mu Gui looked at those raindrops, she didn't know if something was wrong with her, she somehow felt that those raindrops were so slow and so slow, and her eyes seemed to be able to catch the shape and shape of those raindrops jumping up.

The grand maid left quickly, and the two maids passed her by. After stepping onto the veranda, they quickly put away their umbrellas and leaned against the corner in front of the door.

Concubine Mu Gui slowly recognized the people, Jingshu and Fengqin who had served Yangping since childhood, after Yangping was beaten into Pingzhi Palace, Concubine Mu Gui let these two girls follow her.

"Ma'am," Jing Shu came over wiping the rain from her chin, and said anxiously, "I don't believe it, there is no news from Aunt Yujing."

"I don't have any there either." Feng Qin was more anxious than Jing Shu, "I asked many people to go out to inquire, but they all said they couldn't find it."

Concubine Mu Gui's complexion was pale, and her lips were completely bleeding: "Yujing is very particular about things, she has never been like this before."

Jing Shu and Feng Qin did not dare to speak, and looked at Concubine Mu Gui in fear.

Concubine Mu Gui's eyes turned red: "Yujing, something may have happened."

After saying this, Concubine Mu Gui felt as if she had exhausted all her strength.

She fell backward, her fingers gripping the arm of the chair, not wanting them to see that she was shaking.

Jingshu and Fengqin couldn't hold back their tears.

The two hurriedly looked aside and raised their hands to wipe away their tears.

An unfamiliar little eunuch was looking outside at this time, timidly daring not to approach.

Concubine Mu Gui noticed him and ordered Jingshu to go out to call him.

After the little eunuch kowtowed, he tremblingly handed over a letter: "It was a student from Zhaixing Tower who asked me to send it to the imperial concubine. He, he said this is very important."

Jing Shu received the letter and wiped it carefully with a handkerchief, but found no abnormality on the handkerchief, then handed the letter to Concubine Mu Gui.

Concubine Mu Gui's fingers were still trembling. She opened the letter, and the first line of words made her eyes widen: "Yu Jing has been killed by Shu Yuezhen in Laidu Tavern, which is located in Huanggu Street. Yujing's body was abandoned in the river outside the city." , has been fished out and placed in a dilapidated house in the southeast. Send someone to look for it, and it is easy to find."

Concubine Mu Gui stood up, staggered a step forward, and asked the little eunuch sharply: "Which student gave you this letter? Do you still remember his face, go and find him!"

The little eunuch stammered: "He said, it's useless to look for him, he has already left the palace and will never appear again."

"Damn it!" Mu Guifei cried, "Damn it!!"

"Young lady!" Jingshu supported her.

Concubine Mu Gui fell back and wailed, "Yujing, Yujing!!"

Yu Jing, who came to serve her on the first day she entered the palace, accompanied her step by step from talent to concubine Yu Jing!
Jingshu and Fengqin comforted her on the left and the right, and at the same time, the two of them were crying too hard.

Concubine Mu Gui felt as if a knife was piercing her heart, and she cried and cried, but suddenly she didn't bring it up, and passed out.

"Your Majesty!" Jing Shu and Feng Qin exclaimed.

When she woke up again, Concubine Mu Gui was already in her bedroom.

There were two women in plain clothes sitting beside the bed. As soon as they heard the movement on the bed, the two women hurriedly gathered around: "Mother Concubine!"

Concubine Mu Gui looked at them, and it took him a while to recognize that they were the two side concubines of the Fourth Prince Li Ze.

Concubine Mu Gui closed her eyes, weakly turned her head to the inner side of the bed, tears fell down again, and rolled down the corners of her eyes to the pillow.

A side concubine spoke softly: "Mother and concubine, don't be too sad, the prince said, he will carry that bitch's head in his filial piety."

After a while, Concubine Mu Gui moved her lips lightly, and said, "Is it Shu Yuezhen?"

"Ah."

"Yujing won't survive either," said Concubine Mu Gui, holding her body up. "Have you found the student from the Zhaixing Building? And Yujing's body, have you found it?"

"I don't know about the matter of Sheng Yuanlang. But Aunt Yujing's body has been found, but it is not suitable to enter the palace."

Concubine Mu Gui stared at her blankly, and suddenly felt sad: "Yes, she, she is not suitable for entering the palace. Only emperors and empresses who die outside the palace can be sent back to the palace. Even the noble concubine of this palace died outside the palace. Qualified to send the corpse back to..."

"Mother Concubine, what nonsense are you talking about!" The side concubine hurriedly said.

"It's not nonsense," Concubine Mu Gui's tears fell one by one, "It's just that Yin and Yang are separated, life and death are bounded, and I will never have the chance to see Yujing again!"

The side concubine also raised her hand to wipe her tears: "Yes, mother concubine, the queen's funeral has to be guarded."

"Yujing, Yujing..." Concubine Mu Gui closed her eyes and wailed, "I can't even see you off for this last journey!"

In a shaded corner outside the palace, an older court lady stood with her hands up, listening calmly to the faded cries.

This court lady is none other than Xia Zhaoyi who doesn't want to be hunched anymore.

She stuffed a lot of things around her waist to protect her waist, which also made her look a lot fatter, so that her straight back and waist were no longer so conspicuous in the crowd.

After listening for a long time, she did not hear any conflicts between Concubine Mu Gui and Shu Yuezhen.

In this world, Concubine Mu Gui, who lived in the deep palace for a long time, cared about only four people, Li Ju, Yang Ping, Li Hao, and Li Ze.

Li Hao and Li Ze were born by Concubine Yu, because Concubine Yu died of illness, Empress Dowager Xuan Yi passed them to Concubine Mu, they were no different from mother and child.

Therefore, Xia Zhaoyi was not sure who caused the conflict between Shu Yuezhen and Yujing. After all, after Li He's prince was abolished, Li Hao and Li Ze also made a lot of moves.

In the bedroom, Concubine Mu Gui was tired from crying and lay down again.

Li Ze's two concubines came out to breathe. The two stood under the magnificent and spacious verandah of the palace, watching the rain fall from the sky. They had nothing to say except sighing.

Xia Zhaoyi stood for another half a cup of tea, and finally turned and left.

Around Shen time, the rain became heavier.

Xia Zhaoyi went to a pavilion near Yanguang Hall.

It is said to be nearby, but Yanguang Hall still needs to be overlooked in sight.

Either because of the heavy rain, or because Xia Zhaoyi settled down to observe carefully, the palace building that Xia Zhaoyi had seen many times before but didn't feel much seemed to suddenly become tall and majestic.

Li Ju has been inside for the past few days, fortunately, Imperial Physician Du sent a lot of messages, saying that Li Ju is in good health and in good spirits these few days.Otherwise, Xia Zhaoyi was really afraid that he would die so cheaply.
