Work overtime

Chapter 671

The young palace maid was terrified when she heard her master calling Concubine Tian a bitch. She looked at the palace maids not far away in panic, fearing that they would spread her angry words.

In the past, the mistress said that they were probably spies planted by others and that she should be careful, and she listened to it.

The queen didn't care and in the end it was the servants who suffered.

"Your Highness, you can't let your imagination run wild. The Emperor has you in his heart. When the Emperor heard about your situation, he felt bad, otherwise he wouldn't have come to see you as soon as he heard about it, and even left his jade pendant. The Emperor doesn't do this to others."

Yipin sighed, and couldn't stop crying, "Yes. I am the emperor's cousin. If the queen mother were still alive, I would be the queen. It's a pity that my aunt passed away first."

"Your Majesty, please don't say such discouraging words. Your Majesty is still so young. If you take good care of yourself, you will be able to conceive a dragon heir."

Concubine Yi didn't believe it, and said with a glimmer of unwilling hope, "Maybe."

As he was speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, and then he felt a surge of heat from below, and a strong smell of blood quickly rolled in the air.

She was so frightened that she clutched the maid's hand tightly, her eyes wide open as she said in horror, "Quick, go and call the imperial physician, go and get the emperor. Quick, go quickly!"

"Yes, yes, I will go now."

The little maid ran out in a panic and fell down. She wiped the tears from her face, and with a stern face and a pretentious attitude, she ordered the maids outside to act separately.

Even if the situation is urgent, we cannot panic.

When she returned to Concubine Yi, her feet felt weak.

The empress's blood kept flowing, which was what people called hemorrhage. Even if the imperial physician came to stop it again, I'm afraid it would ruin her body and she would never be able to have children again.

At this time, she had not yet thought that her mistress was dying. Or rather, she was deceiving herself and holding on to a glimmer of hope.

When she returned to the bed, Concubine Yi was staring at her with her big eyes, her face pale, like a ghost.

She was frightened and sad, and tried to open her mouth, but no sound came out.

After trying twice more, she finally spoke, "Don't worry, Madam. I have already sent someone to invite him."

However, Concubine Yi still stared at her without any reaction.

She thought the queen was angry as usual, so she knelt down and slapped herself, saying, "This slave deserves death, this slave deserves death."

I fought for a long time but heard no sound.

"Sister Linglan... the queen, the queen seems to be motionless."

A trembling voice came from behind Lily of the Valley.

Linglan suddenly raised her head and looked at Concubine Yi.

He found that Concubine Yi was indeed motionless, staring at him without blinking.

She just felt her body go weak, her eyes went dark, and she fainted.

When the imperial physician arrived, he confirmed that Concubine Yi had died, and immediately sent another group of people to invite the emperor.

The emperor had already returned to the Qinzheng Palace by then. When he heard the news, his expression changed and he almost lost his composure.

Although he was mentally prepared, he didn't expect this moment to come so soon.

He asked hesitantly, "Princess Yi?"

Liang Xiaobao immediately dismissed the eunuch who came to report, knelt on the ground, and pleaded earnestly, "The queen is gone, Your Majesty, please accept my condolences."

Li Beichen looked at Liang Xiaobao in a daze and shook his head painfully.

Liang Xiaobao didn't understand what the emperor meant.

After a while, Li Beichen ordered, "Follow me to Chengfu Palace. Keep it a secret from Concubine Yi for now. She is kind-hearted and always thinks about blood ties. I'm afraid she can't bear to hear about Concubine Yi's situation."

Liang Xiaobao said hurriedly, "I obey your order."

Li Beichen frowned and waved his hand, "Go and make arrangements quickly, lest you alarm Concubine Yi without any eyes."

"As you wish." Liang Xiaobao immediately stood up and left quickly.

After Liang Xiaobao left, Li Beichen sat dejectedly on the chair, rubbing his eyebrows, feeling melancholy.

I finally felt a little relieved after coming back from Jiang Yuebai, but the mountain that was weighing on my heart came back again.

Li Beichen wanted to hide it, but he couldn't stop the people arranged by Jiang Yuebai and Concubine Yi in Chengfu Palace. The two of them knew the news immediately.

After hearing this, Concubine Yi's face turned cold and she was silent for a long time. She felt sad and wanted to cry but couldn't. This cousin was really unpleasant. Her thoughts were written on her face. How many bad thoughts could she have?

The empress dowager was dissatisfied with her and arranged for her cousin to enter the palace to replace her, so of course she was bothered by it.

It was just because the Queen Mother had passed away, and because of her feelings towards her, they were different, so she couldn't hate her.

More importantly, her cousin’s sudden death made her feel deeply saddened and made her realize even more how dangerous childbirth is for women.

"Sister?" Jiang Yuebai called softly, took her hand and stroked the back of her hand. "Sister used to advise me to take care of my child, and you are still the same now."

Jiang Yuebai felt sad too.

A woman who easily loses her life because of a miscarriage, no matter how hateful she was in the past, it is hard to hate her.

Besides, apart from being arrogant, a bit mean and liking to disgust people, Concubine Yi had not done anything against the will of heaven or morality, nor was she such a wicked person that her death would make people happy.

"I... I understand." Concubine Yi said with a sob. She held Jiang Yuebai's hand with her left hand and overlapped them.

The tears finally flowed.

She choked up and said, "If...if that day, you remember to tell the emperor to save the younger one instead of the older one."

Jiang Yuebai interrupted hastily, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Concubine Yi shook her head desperately, "No, no, I want to say it."

She bit her lower lip and said with determination, "If I go, I want to entrust the child to my sister. I believe my sister will treat him well. You promise me!"

Jiang Yuebai's eyes were also filled with tears. She tried to comfort Concubine Yi in a self-deceptive way, "Don't talk nonsense. My sister and the child will be safe."

"You promise me!" Concubine Yi asked Jiang Yuebai very firmly, with a determined look on her face.

Jiang Yuebai didn't dare to think about it, it didn't matter whether he agreed or not, because the child would never be born.

This made her heart hurt even more.

Jiang Yuebai nodded solemnly and said earnestly, "I promise, sister. Then sister must also promise me that I will entrust the children to sister. It is more dangerous for me to give birth to twins."

Jiang Yuebai's pessimism made Concubine Yi stronger. She is the kind of person who values ​​others more than herself.

"Nonsense! The children will be safe. Don't let your imagination run wild."

Jiang Yuebai smiled.

Concubine Yi finally focused on the safety of her own children and tried her best to restrain herself and not be too happy or too sad.

He continued to guide, "Well, let's not let our imaginations get out of control and take care of the children, okay?"

Concubine Yi nodded firmly.

After thinking for a while, he sighed and said as if to console himself, "Maybe this is her fate. She can't bear such good fortune."

Concubine Yi clearly had the script of the heroine in a happy novel, but she acted like a spoiled brat and didn't know how to cherish it.

This is called "unworthy of the position". Even if you climb to a high position, you will fall sooner or later.

After a while, Susu came to report that the emperor had specially arranged for people to block the news from their Yonghe Palace, probably because he was afraid of disturbing them.

After Su Su left, Jiang Yuebai advised earnestly, "You see, the emperor is also worried about you, and is afraid that you will be too sad. You should mourn less."

Concubine Yi said "hmm". She was touched but also felt empty, as if an important part was missing.

When Li Beichen arrived, he heard that Concubine Yi had not closed her eyes when she died. In violation of the emperor's taboo of not seeing people stained with blood, he closed Concubine Yi's eyes with his own hands.

The last personal maid who served Concubine Yi was summoned separately to report what had happened in the room before.

Li Beichen put his hands behind his back, his face heavy, and after pondering for a moment, he ordered,
"Pass on my order. Concubine Yi passed away suddenly due to miscarriage. She had made great contributions to the birth of the royal heir. I feel deeply saddened and feel that I have failed the Empress Dowager's trust before her death. I specially confer her the title of Lie Fei to express my grief. She will be buried in the Jinshan Concubine Mausoleum tomorrow."

The news quickly spread throughout the harem, and everyone sighed. Counting on their fingers, Yipin had only been in the palace for two months.

After hearing the news, Concubine Tian, ​​who was now demoted to Concubine Xie Zhaoyi, laughed and said, "How wonderful! It's so great! Bring some wine, I'll send her off."

I laughed and drank, but I cried. I didn't know for whom I shed these tears.

He totally ignored the complicated expressions of the palace servants around him.
