Wei Ning'er looked at Concubine Chun and Concubine Yu who were slightly flustered, and said calmly, "Two sisters, don't be in a hurry. The matter has come to this point. We must make a decision early. Sister Chun is ordered to take care of the affairs of the harem temporarily. Please send me an order immediately. Hurry up and report to the emperor and the empress dowager.【 】”

"This happened just a few days after the emperor left. If I had known this, I should have followed the emperor to the Mulan paddock!" Concubine Chun was full of regret when she said this.

"This is the end of the matter, why is my sister still talking about these things? Who would have expected that the thirteenth elder brother would die at this time. What the concubine Ling said is that my sister should quickly send someone to report to the emperor and the empress dowager!" In a hurry.

However, Lu Yunxi took a deep breath and said: "I'm afraid it's not right. If you send someone to go and fail to invite the emperor back, but the empress returns, then... at that time, I'm afraid she will cover the sky with one hand and impose unnecessary crimes on her." We, the consequences are unimaginable."

Wei Ning'er frowned slightly when she heard the words: "Sister Lu said that the emperor just sent troops to quell the rebellion in Junggar in May, and now the two Hui troops and Zhuo are rebelling. The emperor's visit to Mulan Paddock this time must be with all the princes. The ministers discussed important matters. From the time the emperor ascended the throne to the present, there has never been a time when he set off from the capital to go to the paddock and turned back halfway. I am afraid that someone was sent to invite the empress to come back. Ask me if I agree!"

Concubine Chun and Concubine Yu both looked at Wei Ning'er in surprise when they heard this.

"Sisters, don't worry, the emperor has left a secret decree for my sister, even if the queen comes back, without my sister's consent, she will not dare to touch you!" Wei Ning'er laughed softly.

"That's it, we are relieved, but...the thirteenth elder brother's death can't be concealed. I'm afraid Yipin has already sent someone to report it. It's the queen's fault. If she comes back, I will definitely conceal everything, and even pour dirty water on others!" Chun Guifei said in a deep voice.

"Not exactly!" Wei Ning'er shook her head lightly and said, "The empress sent Concubine Yi and Kui to take care of Elder Brother Thirteen, but now Elder Thirteen has passed away, the ones who are most terrified at this moment are Concubine Yi and Imperial Physician Zheng, Anything less, and the three of them will be charged with murdering the prince!"

"What my sister said is very true. Sister Chun, it seems that we are going to Yimengxuan to wake up Concubine Yi and the others. Otherwise, with her impetuous temper, I am afraid that she will really send someone to report to the queen!" Concubine Yu hurriedly Said.

"The two sisters want to let Concubine Yi know the stakes. If the queen returns to the palace, she will definitely blame the three of them for the death of the thirteenth elder brother. It is not an exaggeration to murder the prince and ransack the family. If she wants to survive... ..." Wei Ning'er paused for a moment when she said this, and then said in a deep voice: "Brother Thirteen's death was caused by the empress herself, if the emperor and the empress dowager find out about this matter... the fate of the empress must be the same for the two elder sisters. clear!"

"After so many years, I have finally waited for such a good opportunity. Heaven's sins are forgivable, but self-inflicted sins cannot live. Sister Concubine Yu, let's go to Yimengxuan!" Concubine Chun said in a deep voice.

"Yeah!" Concubine Yu nodded lightly, and quickly walked out with Concubine Chun.

Just as Wei Ning'er expected, the concubine Yi and the three of them had already been terrified, if the concubine Chun and the concubine hadn't gone in time to stop the little eunuch she sent to inform, there would really be a big mess.

"Concubine Yi... You are so stupid, the queen entrusted the thirteenth elder brother to your care, and now the thirteenth elder brother died, and the empress lost her beloved son, and she will definitely blame you when she comes back. None of you can survive, especially the doctor Zheng Concubine Chun Guifei said this and shouted: "All the prescriptions you have prescribed to the thirteenth elder brother over the past year are all on file in the Imperial Hospital, and I have ordered several imperial physicians to look at them. Although there is nothing wrong with those medicines, but... ...a child who is still in its infancy can't bear it, especially in the past two months, you have given the thirteenth elder brother strong medicine, and the medicines in Yipin's ointment are also fierce, although except for the birthmark of the thirteenth elder brother , but it also made the child's body unable to bear it."

"Your Majesty, this is the queen's will, slave... The slave once told the queen that the thirteenth elder brother is still young, so he is not suitable for taking those medicines, but the queen refused, and ordered the slave to find a way, and the slave has no other way. This servant has absolutely no intention of harming the thirteenth elder brother!" Imperial physician Zheng has served the queen for many years, and he never thought that such a thing would happen.

"Your Majesty, my concubine...the concubine's ointment was only used by the empress after being inspected by the imperial physician Zheng. Even if this concubine is extremely courageous, she would not dare to murder the prince!" Kui Changzai, who was attached to Concubine Yi, only felt that he had suffered an unreasonable disaster and could not survive, so he fainted from fright.

"Physician Zheng, you are familiar with medical principles, don't you know the harm this will do to Elder Brother Thirteen?" Concubine Yu shouted sharply.

"Your Majesty... the servant also accidentally discovered that the combination of the ointment offered by the concubine Yipin and the prescription of the servant has a miraculous effect on removing birthmarks. Although it will cause some damage to the bodies of the thirteen, but...the empress ordered the servant to take it within this year. Get rid of the birthmark on Elder Brother Thirteen's face, otherwise I will ask the slave to blame, and I have no better way, and I have to ask the queen's permission before I dare to use the medicine!" Zheng Taiyi was so frightened that his whole body was trembling.

At this moment, several imperial physicians who were ordered to come came out of the thirteenth elder brother's bedroom.

"How?" Concubine Chun asked in a deep voice.

"I report to the pure concubine, the long-term strong medicine caused the internal organs of the thirteenth elder brother to be damaged to varying degrees. The elder brother was still young and couldn't bear it. He vomited blood and died! The servant and others found out, the thirteenth elder brother The decoctions I drink and the ointments I apply on a daily basis are all inappropriate."

Concubine Chun ordered the empress dowagers to step back, and shouted to those kneeling on the ground: "You heard me clearly, is this your fault? Or is it the empress's fault? It's about your life, so what should you do?" , I don’t need my palace to teach you, just report the facts to the emperor and the empress dowager in the future!”

"Yes!" Concubine Yi and Imperial Physician Zheng said tremblingly.

Concubine Chun and Concubine Yu went to Zuixin Garden to discuss with Wei Ning'er and Lu Yunxi, and Concubine Chun decreed that Concubine Yi and Kui Changzai should be grounded, while Imperial Physician Zheng temporarily detained them and ordered reliable people to look after them.

At this time, the weather was hot, and it was impossible to arrange a funeral for Brother Seven, so he could only put his body in the ice cellar and wait for the emperor to return.

After everything was arranged, Concubine Chun sent someone to deliver a letter to the emperor.

The few young eunuchs sent were Hu Shijie's confidantes. According to Hu Shijie's instructions, the little eunuchs went to Rehe Palace leisurely.

Maybe it was a little late to go to the palace this year, and the emperor also accelerated his journey on the way. When he arrived at the Rehe palace, he took a rest and went to the Mulan paddock without stopping. The young eunuchs had to chase all the way to the Mulan paddock.

When the news of Elder Thirteen's death was learned, it was the second day after the emperor and others visited the Mulan paddock. The empress fainted on the spot. After waking up, she was heartbroken and clamored to go back to the capital. Even the empress dowager couldn't persuade her .

"Minruo, the Ai family knows that you are in great pain, so why does the Ai family feel better? The thirteenth elder brother is the royal grandson of the Ai family, and even your child. The Ai family is also very sad, but the emperor will summon the prince tomorrow. Minister, as a queen, it would be disrespectful not to accompany the emperor, you will stay here tomorrow and hurry back to the palace the day after tomorrow!" The queen mother said earnestly.

Hearing this, the empress tugged on the corner of the quilt tightly, and said with tears in her eyes after a while: "Yes, Queen Mother!"

"Min Ruo, I'm sorry." The queen mother held her hand tightly, and after a long time of relief, she left.

"Your Majesty..." Mu Yun knelt beside the bed, looking at the emaciated empress, couldn't help but shed tears.

"Mu Yun...it's Bengong, it's Bengong who harmed Yongjing, if it wasn't for Bengong being too impatient and letting Zheng Taiyi take those medicines, Yongjing in this palace wouldn't...won't die, it's all my fault Gong... Why is this Gong so stupid, he is still a child, he is still a child." The queen broke down in tears.

"Your Majesty, I don't blame you, your Majesty, you are doing it for Elder Brother Thirteen, and you are doing it for him too!" Mu Yun didn't know the conflict and pain in her master's heart.

Ever since Brother Thirteen was born, the master has never been truly happy for a single day. Doesn't Master love Brother Thirteen?No... quite the opposite.

For this prince who was born with a birthmark and was not loved by the emperor and the queen mother, the queen's love for him even surpassed the twelfth elder brother Yongxi. Because of this, the empress couldn't wait for the thirteenth elder brother to be like a normal child. To grow up happily, instead of hiding in her palace forever, or being ridiculed by princes and princesses.

Mu Yun especially remembered that one day in April, the empress was wandering around the Old Summer Palace with her thirteenth brother in her arms, but she met Chun Guifei who came out with the fourth princess. The fourth princess had never seen this younger brother before and clamored to see , and unexpectedly, the birthmark on Elder Brother Thirteen's face was frightened and cried. I heard that he was in a state of anxiety for several days in a row, and woke up crying at night.

After that, the empress never dared to take the thirteenth elder brother out again, and the young princes and princesses in the palace would avoid the empress even if they saw her from a distance, fearing that she would bring the thirteenth elder brother out.

Such a blow made it difficult for the queen to sleep peacefully every day, so she took the risk, never thinking that she would ruin her son.

At this moment, the empress wished she could go back to the Old Summer Palace immediately, and return to her child's side. She couldn't believe that his child was gone just like that.

She remembered that Dr. Zheng said that although those medicines are a bit strong, they can get rid of the child's birthmarks. Although they will hurt the internal organs, they will recover after two years of recuperation. But who will tell her now? , why does the child die?

"It must be...it must be them. If they can't kill the palace, they will kill the princes of the palace. It's the concubine Ling... Concubine Chun, Concubine Yu, Concubine Qing, it's them. Jing pays for his life." The queen couldn't help screaming.

When the emperor standing outside the tent heard the words, veins popped out on his forehead.

"Your Majesty... I will pass it on to my slave." Wu Shulai said cautiously.

"No need, come here, pass on my order, without my permission, the queen is not allowed to leave the Mulan paddock and return to Beijing!" The emperor was so angry that he took a deep breath to hold back, and did not come to reprimand the queen.
