Concubine, she rises step by step

Chapter 58

Pei Lin witnessed the Queen Mother being carried away with a pale face. The little him, panting, followed the team carrying the Queen Mother a few steps, but failed to keep up.

"Elder brother, you should go back to elder brother's place first, the queen empress has a precious phoenix body, so nothing will happen." The servant beside him comforted.

Pei Lin shook his head, looked in the direction of Jingren Palace in a daze, and said in a low voice: "I'll be back later, you guys go get busy first."

The servant was about to persuade me again, when Pei Lin looked back coldly and said firmly, "Don't follow me anymore!"

This look, this stern expression, is not that of an ordinary four-year-old child. Several servants were so frightened that they knelt on the spot and did not dare to say another word.

Pei Lin walked straight to Jingren Palace.

The sky, which had been clear just now, suddenly became gloomy, and after a while, the rain gathered and rustled down.

Little Pei Lin walked so firmly step by step.

On the way out of Jingren Palace and back to Zhaoyang Palace, Shengyi was also trapped by the rain, and temporarily found an eaves to stand under.

"Isn't it raining too quickly? The sun was out just now..." Zhixia patted the raindrops off her body for Shanyi, while complaining about the impermanence of the weather.

Looking at the non-stop rain with good intentions, she couldn't help feeling restless. She speculated that the queen might have suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. This disease is very difficult even in modern society, not to mention the ancient times when medical conditions were poor. It can only depend on the queen's fortune.

While thinking about it, suddenly, Zhixia raised her voice and said in surprise: "Master, look!"

Following the direction Zhixia pointed, Shengyi saw Peilin dragging her small body in the rain, looking fragile and helpless.

Sheng Yi's heart softened, and he quickly ran towards Pei Lin.

The rain hit his face, it was cold and painful, but seeing Pei Lin's eyes red from crying, he kindly forgot the discomfort of being in the rain.

Hugging Pei Lin, he kindly squinted his eyes in the rain and asked, "Brother, why did you walk here? Where is the person who serves you?"

Pei Lin moved his eyes dully, and looked at Sheng Yi vainly, "Niang Sheng, am I born to control my mother?"

The word "Kemu" sounded heart-wrenching, "Brother, how could you think like that? This is an accident and has nothing to do with you."

Pei Lin's tone was infinitely depressed: "You taught me to please the Queen Mother, let me treat everyone innocently, let me please Lan Concubine, and pave the way for myself, but in the end, what's the use? Now that the Queen Mother is like this, what's the point of everything? I killed the Queen Mother, and now I make the Queen Mother like this, I am a burden, a disaster..."

Sheng Yi hurriedly stopped Pei Lin's wild thoughts. For the first time, she realized that the four-year-old Pei Lin had already suffered such psychological trauma, "Pei Lin! You are not wrong! You have not wronged anyone! Do you hear me?"

Pei Lin's eyes were full of sadness when he was greeted kindly, "Mistress Sheng, leave me alone, I don't want to hurt you."

But Shengyi hugged Peilin tightly, leaned close to his ear and said over and over again: "You have to keep in mind that you are right..."

Holding an umbrella, Zhixia looked sadly at the elder brother who had been pretending to be cheerful and innocent, and couldn't help but secretly sighed that God was too unfair.

At the same time, Concubine Lan's return to Yuxiu Palace was still like a dream.

"Your Majesty, is the Empress—too late?" Chun Yu had been following Concubine Lan, and after experiencing the shock just now, she finally came to her senses.

Concubine Lan frowned, "The emperor seems to know already, otherwise he wouldn't have asked me to come back first, he was blocking the news."

As soon as the words were finished, Kunshuang entered the room, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the news of Jingren Palace is strictly blocked, and nothing is said."

"The more this is the more strange!" Lan Fei tapped on the armor, constantly thinking about what could go wrong.

"Your Majesty, if something really happens to the empress, then this post will be yours." Chun Yu felt a little excited when she thought about it.

Kunshuang looked around, and said vigilantly, "It's better not to say that."

Concubine Lan listened to her heart, and her eyes rolled.

"Ma'am, do you want to report this to the master?" Kunshuang asked in a low voice.

Concubine Lan shook her head, "Wait and see, I don't know what's going on right now, so don't panic."

Kunshuang nodded, "Your Majesty is right."

However, when the heavy rain stopped, the whole palace seemed to know about it, saying that the queen had passed out and passed away soon.

He said that he had a nose and eyes, and that it was Lan Fei who said it.

When these words spread to Jingren Palace, Huo Jiheng's expression became more and more gloomy.

"Were there only Shengyi and Concubine Lan at that time?" Huo Jiheng stared at Li Qing with a livid face.

Li Qing bowed and said: "Ai Xiang said that Empress Empress and Sheng Yi were chatting in the Imperial Garden, and then met Concubine Lan, and they chatted together. In addition, the servants also checked that cat. It was the cat that Liang of Zhulanxuan promised to raise. At this moment, the cat has been beaten to death."

Huo Jiheng asked in surprise, "Liang agreed?"

Li Qing hurriedly added: "It's Mrs. Qi, it was the cat that disturbed Concubine Lan last time, so it was removed to Zhulanxuan, its title was withdrawn, and it was downgraded to promise."

Huo Jiheng said annoyedly: "Then the distribution will be further away, so as not to bother you!"

"Yes." Li Qing replied.

Seeing that Li Qing seemed to have something to say, Huo Jiheng asked, "Anything else?"

Li Qing said more respectfully: "Your Majesty, the illness about the Empress has spread throughout the palace."

Huo Jiheng raised his eyes suddenly, "Who passed it on?"

"Rumors say it's Concubine Lan, but it's an eventful time, and it's inevitable that something will happen." Li Qing didn't have any definite evidence, so he didn't dare to make a conclusion.

Huo Jiheng was a little annoyed, "Concubine Lan has been willful for many years, and she has been at odds with the queen, if it's what she said, it's not surprising."

Seeing that Huo Jiheng's complexion was getting worse and worse, Li Qing had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue: "One more thing, elder brother was looking for the empress in the rain, and Sheng Changzai sent him back to elder brother's office. However, the eunuch in elder brother's office reported that elder brother has been having a fever since he returned."

The despondent Huo Jiheng waved his hands, tilted his head, rubbed his temples, and said, "Let the imperial doctor go and have a look, he must be frightened, and then go to Zhaoyang Palace to pass the word and ask Sheng Changzai to visit Eldest Brother more often, Elder Brother trusts Sheng Changzai."

"Yes."

Everyone in the palace knew that the queen had fainted, and I was afraid that the previous court would be in turmoil. What was even more worrying was that Rongdi and Nanjiang were on the verge of making trouble recently. It is unknown whether they will make a fuss about the queen...

Here, since she sent the eldest elder brother back to elder brother's place and went to see him again, she has been rejected.

"It was the emperor's order that we often come to see Elder Brother." Zhixia said to the eunuch and maid at the door.

The eunuch also had a look of helplessness on his face, "This servant only has good intentions from Sheng Changzai, but the elder brother clearly said that he doesn't want to see Sheng Changzai, so this servant has nothing to do with it."

Sheng Yi looked at the tightly closed door inside, and said to Zhi Xia: "Forget it, Pei Lin is not happy, let him be quiet and quiet, and I will come back another day."

Sheng Yi was still worried, and told the eunuch, "You guys have to take care of Eldest Brother carefully, and if there is anything unusual, report it to Zhaoyang Palace in time."

The eunuchs and maids bowed one after another, "Yes, Sheng Chang is here."

Peilin, who was inside the room, looked at Shengyi and turned around from the crack of the door, tears streaming down her face, "Peilin, I can't implicate you..."
