"I gave birth, I promised to give birth." Three days later, in the Zhongcui Palace, the naked mother Wang ran out of the delivery room sweating, and the little eunuch outside hurriedly stopped her and reminded her in a low voice, "Mother, don't dare to laugh ah."

Wang Momo was shocked when she heard the words, she quickly covered her mouth, and when she looked back, she saw the maid Lan Qi coming out of the house with a blood-red water basin, and was about to change the clean hot water, so she raised her hand and called out: "Go to the Qianqing Palace!" one trip."

"Slave maid?" During the time of questioning, Wang Momo had already taken down the water basin in Lan Qi's hand, pulled it to her face for a closer look, and saw that the plain clothes were clean and unstained, so she said, "Go to Qianqing Palace to report to Li. Father-in-law, said that Bu promised to give birth to a little princess, and the mother and daughter are safe."

"But?"

"What are you talking about, hurry up." Nanny Wang pushed Lan Qi away, "Be careful what you say, don't say the wrong thing and drag your promise."

"……Yes"

Walking out of Zhongcui Palace, Lan Qi smelled the damp breath in the wind, looked up at the sky, the east was really dark and covered with dark clouds.The lengthy palace road was dyed white by onyx, and she was not familiar with the road to Qianqing Palace.

Now that the whole country is in mourning, it is a happy event to promise to have a daughter, but the great joy cannot offset the sorrow of the queen's death. I heard that the emperor has not had rice water for three days. A woman's happy event will inevitably be scolded by Eunuch Li.

Walking in the general direction, the palace road is long and complicated, and there are layers of high walls blocking the view. After all, Lan Qi is still lost, and she doesn't know where she is.

"What should I do?" I was anxious, but I saw a walking chariot approaching in the distance, and hurriedly knelt aside.

The chariot came slowly, and when she heard a "stop", Lan Qi's heart tightened, and she heard the question again, "Why are you wandering around here alone? Where are you from?"

Lan Qi raised her head slightly, and saw a pale woman sitting on the chariot, but she was an honored person.Busy kowtow to say hello, timidly said the reason, then listened to Rong Guiren sighed softly, and in a short while told the maid next to her: "Take her to Qianqing Palace, just point out the direction and stay away, don't go forward."

It seemed to be talking to herself: "Even she doesn't care about the people that elder brother loves, it's her luck that she can stay with the child for a while longer."

Lan Qi crawled on the ground again and did not dare to raise her head. After a while, she walked away, and the maid left behind said to her: "Get up quickly, I will lead you there, why are you walking carelessly, you are going in the wrong direction here."

"Yes, the servant is stupid." Lan Qi got up and walked behind the maid, and couldn't help but look back at the back of the nobleman, lamenting that she lost her son at the beginning of the year, and gave birth to the prince two months ago but died on the same day. Everyone was envious, and lost everything in a blink of an eye.

"What are you looking at, let's go, it looks like it's going to rain." The maid was so impatient, Lan Qi didn't dare to neglect, she bowed her head and followed her all the way, finally approaching Qianqing Palace.

"Go by yourself, I won't pass." The maid put down these words, turned around and left.

Lan Qi didn't dare to stop her, but she murmured in her heart that she might not know the way back.But right now, he always has to report the promise of giving birth to a daughter first. After taking a deep breath, he bites the bullet and walks timidly to the gate of Qianqing Palace.

"Where did the court lady come from, so ignorant of the rules?" The little eunuch in front of the door scolded her when he saw her.

Lan Qi hurriedly said: "The maidservant is the palace maid of Zhongcui. Bu promised to give birth to the little princess just now, and the mother and daughter are safe. I hope the father-in-law will report to Manager Li."

As soon as she finished speaking, the sky suddenly exploded with thunder, which frightened everyone, but before the little eunuch in front of the door could send a message, many eunuchs and court ladies came out of it, Lan Qi was pushed down the steps, and they heard those people say: "Hurry up!" Yes, His Majesty is driving the Empress Zi Palace."

But at this moment, the sky darkened in an instant, the wind was blowing and the rain was pouring, the dark sky was filled with lightning, and the rumbling thunder could be heard endlessly.

"Long live, you can't get in the rain, long live, let the servant hold an umbrella for you..."

Accompanied by Eunuch Li's anxious voice, Xuan Ye walked out of Qianqing Palace as if no one was around, raised his eyes to the dark sky, and let the rain hit his face, Eunuch Li rushed over with an umbrella, but was waved away by his big hand, "Get out!"

"Your Majesty." Eunuch Li knelt in the rain, weeping and begging, "I am thinking of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, you must take care of the dragon body!"

Xuan Ye clenched his fists tightly, his face could no longer tell the difference between rain and tears, and the words were heavy: "But I will never hear the Queen say these words again, never again..."

He resolutely walked into the rain and headed towards Empress Zi Palace.

Eunuch Li followed closely all the way, not daring to hold an umbrella for the emperor anymore. The court ladies and eunuchs braved the rain to follow each other, and everyone dispersed in front of the Qianqing Palace. .
