Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2504 Eight Volumes 29 How to Make Your Heart Ache

The emperor returned to the capital early by land, and four days after staying in the Old Summer Palace, that is, on April 25, Wanxi finally accompanied the empress dowager back to Luan by water.

Before the Empress Dowager drove back to Changchun Garden, the emperor rushed to Sanjianfang (place name, east of Chaoyang District, with the former Chaoyang Gate) to greet her.

Seeing the emperor, Wanxi couldn't help but look behind the emperor.

Already in the capital, maybe the emperor will bring Xiao Shiliu with him when he comes here!
From the beginning of the vaccination to the end of April, three months have passed.No matter what, Xiao Shiliu should have been sent to the saint safely.The emperor knew how anxious she was, so with the emperor's temper, he might have to hide an unexpected surprise for her again...

Does that mean that the most likely surprise is that the emperor simply brought Xiao Shiliu to Sanjian?

For this, Wanxi asked Xiao Shiwu early this morning to prepare the pomegranate brought back from the Shandong border, and when Xiao Shiliu came, she just asked him to hold it and see which one it was. Pomegranate" looks better.

But Wanxi looked at all the people behind the emperor, but she didn't see Xiao Shiliu after all.

Because Xiao Shiwu got this order from Ernie early, he was as anxious as Ernie, so he simply saluted Huang Ama, and then hurried out to look for it himself.

He knew that Ernie missed her brother so much, and she often shed tears in the past few months.Especially in the next few days, the more he was going to Beijing, the more he had to see his younger brother. On the contrary, Er Nie became more and more anxious. This is why E Nie's eye circles would get dimpled whenever Xiao Shiliu was mentioned. red to go.

But at this moment, in front of Huang Ama and Huang Ma's mother, Enie naturally couldn't run out to look for it in person, so he should go.

Relying on his smallness, Huang Ama and Huang Ma's mother would not set any rules for him.

Seeing that Xiao Shiwu sneaked out, even if the emperor greeted the empress dowager, he couldn't sit still.

When Mao Tuaner saw it, he quickly knelt down on one leg and said that he had an errand to do urgently.The emperor nodded, "Go now."

Mao Tuan'er wiped his head and followed, and caught up with Xiao Shiwu under the corridor.

Mao Tuan'er couldn't help but immediately hugged Xiao Shiwu.

"What are you doing, Brother Fifteen? You can't even allow the slave to greet the little master when you see the slave. Could it be that you have forgotten the slave?"

When Xiao Shiwu saw that it was Mao Tuan'er, he smiled all over his face, hugged his neck and said kind words, "How could Yuanzi forget Wenda? Yuanzi also misses Wenda very much!"

Mao Tuan'er felt comforted, and held Xiao Shiwu in his arms and was about to take it back. He said with a smile on his lips, "My good brother, come with the slave, and the slave also saved a good deal for the fifteenth brother." What a joke!"

Little Shiwu was not fooled, kicking his legs, "I ate so much delicious food along the way, and Enie said I was getting fat again. Wenda put me down quickly, don't crush Wenda's arm gone."

Mao Tuan'er thought to himself: What a fine little master!

Mao Tuan'er held back his sighs, and coaxed softly, "No matter how much the little master has gained weight, the slave can still hug him. Slave, I just want to hug the little master more while the little master is still young. Wait." Back to the palace, the little master is about to start school, that slave just wants to hug the little master, I'm afraid he won't be able to."

Xiao Shiwu was also moved in his heart, so he could only say it bluntly, whispering in Mao Tuan'er's ear, "Ada, I came out to find Xiao Shiliu. I'm Ernie, I miss Xiaoliu. Ernie also asked me this morning to keep the pomegranate brought back from Shandong for Xiaoliu..."

"Manda let me down, I'll find Little Sixteen, and show it to Ernie first. When Ernie is relieved, I'll come and discuss that good thing with Wenda again!"

In this world, the most unexpected thing is actually such sincere and childish words.

If facing an adult, he can still pretend to be false; but with such a pure childlike innocence, Mao Tuan'er doesn't even know how to cover it up and conceal it.

Mao Tuan'er's eye circles were red, the tip of his nose felt sore, and his heart felt even more bitter.

He is also ashamed of his master Ling, his majesty, especially his sixteenth elder brother.

The emperor left him in Beijing and didn't ask him to go on a southern tour with him, so why didn't the sixteenth elder brother be entrusted to him as well!

But he...

How could he have the face to meet Master Ling?

It's just that I don't dare to see him anymore, but my master has already arrived.

Mao Tuan'er has already thought about his future path.

Mao Tuan'er breathed out slowly, and coaxed the little Shiwu in his arms, "Oh, the concubine and master misunderstood, our sixteenth elder brother didn't come at all. We'd better wait until we go back to the Old Summer Palace, and then we will naturally I saw everything."

Xiao Shiwu also puffed up his cheeks when he heard this, "So you really didn't come? Hey, why didn't you come? It's all here. Wouldn't it be better to come here earlier to see Ernie?"

Mao Tuan'er didn't dare to say any more, he didn't dare to face such a pure little master.Mao Tuan'er just hurriedly said to Xiaoshiwu, "Brother Shiwu has gone back to the concubine and master first, so don't wait if you call the concubine and master. It's also in case the concubine and master are still not at ease right now, right?"

Xiao Shiwu nodded obediently, "Okay, Wen Da let me down, and I'll tell Er Nie right away."
.
Xiao Shiwu returned to Wanxi's side, whispering in his ear about Xiao Shiliu's absence.

Wanxi couldn't help being stunned for a moment, so she had to force a smile, "...It's okay, anyway, we can go back to the garden later, and we can see each other. It's already close in front of us, it's the same wherever we meet .”

Xiao Shifu pointed to the big pomegranate in his arms, "Then this pomegranate..."

Wanxi took a deep breath, but took the pomegranate out of Xiaoshiwu's arms.

"Didn't Ernie ask my son to take it?" Xiao Shiwu was a little puzzled, raising black and white eyes, "Don't worry about Ernie, my son will definitely not steal it. The son will leave it to the younger brother, and the son can miss it too. I miss my brother!"

Wanxi tried her best to smile, but her complexion turned pale a little bit.

"Ene knew that Yuanzi was reserved for my younger brother. Ernie was never worried that Yuanzi would eat it secretly...Ene felt that this big pomegranate was so heavy, and when it was placed in Yuanzi's clothes, her stomach would bulge even more Yes. When your Aunt Rui and your sister see you later, they should say you are fat again."

Wanxi embraced Xiao Shiwu's shoulders, full of love, but her hands trembled uncontrollably.

"Ene will hold it for you first... ah."

The situation described by the little fifteen Ernie, the sisters wanted to laugh at him for eating too much good food, so he hugged his stomach and laughed, "Okay then! Take it with Ernie, and when I go back to the garden, my son will dig it out again." Eat the pomegranate!"

Wanxi motioned to Yuchan, and Yuchan quickly coaxed Xiao Shiwu away.

Yuqin couldn't help but carefully looked at Wanxi, and reached out to hold Wanxi's hand, "Oh, why is it so cold?"

Concubine Rong also heard the sound, and seeing Wanxi's expression, she hurriedly asked, "Young Concubine, what's wrong with you?"

Wanxi smiled, laughed hard, and couldn't help shaking her head for some reason.

"It's fine, I'm fine."

She didn't want to talk about the growing premonition in her heart, let alone believe it!
She felt that if she kept her mouth shut and tight-lipped, it wouldn't be true.

Will not.
.
No matter what happened, Wanxi finally returned to Beijing with the empress dowager in the afternoon.

The emperor took Wanxi, and the two sent the empress dowager back to Changchun Garden together.

From Changchun Garden to Yuanmingyuan, the distance is actually very short.

The emperor got off his horse and ordered the guards of honor to be removed first, leaving only Fu Long'an with Luan Yiwei guarding around; Mao Tuan'er was the only eunuch serving behind him.

The emperor held Wanxi's hand and suddenly said that he wanted to take a walk like this.

Wanxi tried her best to hold on to a smile, but she couldn't do it after all.

She lowered her head, not daring to let the emperor look into her eyes.

She remembered that year when the emperor returned to Shengjing, and on that moonlit night, he held her hand like this and walked side by side in Shengjing Forbidden City.

That time, she didn't dare to raise her head, so she could only lower her head and quietly sort out her thoughts.

The difference is the age, and - at that time, I was shy, and I didn't dare to imagine the future; but now, I dare not touch it... sad.

The emperor took a deep breath and shook the clenched hands of the two.

"Jiu'er, since he returned from the southern tour, it's time for Xiao Shiwu to prepare for school. Although it's not yet October, I think it's time for Xiao Shiwu to formally move away from Concubine Qing. Come out and live alone."

These are the rules of the Qing prince's upbringing. At the age of five, he should be removed from the inner court and live in elder brother's house.

Wanxi was not surprised, she nodded quietly, "It's the master's arrangement. As early as on the southern tour, Sister Qing had already told Yuanzi. Besides, Yuanzi will be surrounded by Ada and Nanny who have served him since he was a child." And he's not afraid."

Guiyuan, the manager, has been experienced for a long time and can rest assured; the nurses Sun and Zhang, and the mothers, Cui and Zhu, have served Xiaoshiwu since childhood, so Wanxi is not worried.

The emperor smiled, and his downcast eyes were deeply focused on Wanxi, "My lord means... let Xiao Shiwu live in Yuqing Palace."

Wanxi was startled.

It is a rule for the prince to move to the elder brother's house at the age of five, and there are many elder brother's houses in the palace. You can put the little fifteen in the third south house, or the fifth north house.Wanxi didn't expect that the emperor specially put Xiao Shiwu into Yuqing Palace.

Although Yuqing Palace is also the prince's residence, it has a special status - because Yuqing Palace was originally specially built by Lord Kangxi for the six-year-old deposed prince Yinreng!

Since the Kangxi period, this Yuqing Palace has been the Prince's East Palace.

In the Yongzheng Dynasty, although it was not clear that the crown prince was established, Lord Qianlong also lived in Yuqing Palace from the age of 12 when he was a child until his wedding.

Now, the emperor even wants Xiao Shiwu to live in Yuqing Palace directly.

Although, since the Yongzheng Dynasty, in order to deal with the unknown rules of setting up a crown prince, Yuqing Palace is not only for one prince to live in, so as not to be seen by the former court and the harem... But at this time, among the princes, all married In addition, the children were divided; and Yong Xing and Yong Xing are also planning to get married this year, so if Xiao Shiwu moves in, it will be Xiao Shiwu who will live alone for many years to come. Qing Palace.

Then this special meaning surfaced again.

Why did the emperor make such a decision, Wanxi couldn't help but understand.Wanxi lowered her head, trying to laugh.

...Her lord, this is someone who has tried his best to please her.

Along the way, I first asked Fu Long'an to inform her about her return to the palace, so that she could feel at ease; and then asked Xiao Shiwu to move into Yuqing Palace... Her master, the Tianzong Emperor, is actually at this time They all showed a little clumsiness.

Only because of his clumsiness can he see more and more where his sincerity lies.

Wanxi nodded her head hard, "I understand. I will thank Huang Ama for Xiao Shiwu."

"Also!" The emperor seemed afraid that the words would fall to the ground like this, causing Wanxi to think about Little Sixteen again, "Master is still planning, uh, to move a place for Concubine Wan and our little Qi."

Wanxi couldn't help raising her eyes, "How do you want to move?"

The emperor rubbed his hands, "Your Chuxiu Palace, the nearest one is Yikun Palace; south of Yikun Palace is your Yongshou Palace, and now Jiujiu lives in it too... Then it's called Wanbi Move into Yikun Palace with Xiao Qi, okay?"

"In this way, your Chuxiu Palace, Xiaoqi's Yikun Palace, and Jiujiu's Yongshou Palace will connect the north and the south to form a straight line, so that you can see them both whenever you want!"

Wanxi's eyes became more and more heavy, and she didn't dare to lower her head anymore.I was afraid that if I lowered my head again, tears would fall.

Your Majesty... Really, really, so clumsy that he doesn't know what to do...

Wanxi shook her head vigorously, turning her eyes away to look to the side.

The long palace wall, the plants and trees standing quietly.

None of them can speak, but who can say that they are ruthless?
"Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this...Yikun Palace, after all, is the middle palace of the empress."

"Yikun, how can you be in the middle palace?!" The emperor seemed to have become a stubborn boy, holding Wanxi's hand tightly, "I want to move her away, so as not to keep her in the Yikun Palace, which would be an eyesore to me." !"

Wanxi wanted to laugh, but couldn't.

It's just that Wanxi finally raised her head high and quietly looked into the emperor's eyes.

"Grandpa... This slave doesn't want to go back to his bedroom and cry later. The slave asked Master here: Pomegranate, has he already...?"

The emperor was startled in surprise, and when he lowered his eyes, his eyes were already flushed.

"I'm so self-righteous that I'm trying to hide it from you... I'm actually a big idiot! I can't find the best way to save you from facing the moment of returning to Beijing."

He took a deep breath and felt sad, "Master is the Son of Heaven. You can decide the life and death of a person with a single word, but you are so useless - you can't even protect our old son..."

Although Wanxi had a premonition in her heart, when all this was finally confirmed, Wanxi's legs still went limp.

Even though she tried her best to stand still, for some reason, it was as if the bones had been taken out of her legs and feet, leaving only a soft mass, unable to support her body no matter what.

She slumped all over, but she was still wearing flag shoes, so all the weight was on her ankles, and she tilted her body. Seeing that her ankles were about to fail, she had to sprain her feet.

The emperor hurriedly grabbed Wanxi's body and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Jiu'er, don't fall down... Grandpa said, we will still have children!"
.
The world in front of Wanxi rotates and turns upside down. Gradually, she can't distinguish between black and white, light and dark, and becomes a mess.

Is this back to the beginning of chaos?

She lay in the emperor's arms, with her head resting on the emperor's heart.

The emperor's heartbeat was so close to her ears, one sound, one sound, the sound also inspired her heart, making her heart unable to stay silent like this, but to follow the heartbeat beside her ear, and follow it involuntarily. Little by little the beating resumed.

She didn't want to cry, didn't want to cry.

At least she couldn't go back to her palace and cry.Otherwise, not to mention Concubine Ying and Concubine Yu, they would definitely be sad, and Yu Rui would be the first to blame herself.If she were to cry in front of them, would it be to make them feel uncomfortable?

Then she can only leave her status as a noble concubine here for the time being, just here, cry for a while...

But she couldn't cry loudly, so she opened her mouth and bit the emperor's lapel... only to let the tears flow down, but she was not allowed to let out a sad cry.

It's not that she can't let go of this noble concubine's figure, it's because she understands in her heart that there's no use crying!
Even though it can make sadness vent, it can't save Xiao Shiliu's life!
She has to save all her crying, she has to find out how Xiao Shiliu got away... If it's really just Xiao Shiliu who didn't survive the vaccination, then that's fine; if not It's that simple, but someone else made a move, then she has to keep that energy, keep it, and avenge Little Sixteen!

"Master... tell me, when did Little Sixteen leave?" She choked up, buried her face in the emperor's arms, and asked in a trembling voice.

The emperor hesitated, and then said slowly, "Uh, Xiao Shiliu went, uh, on March [-]th."

"March [-]?" Wanxi squinted her eyes, secretly counting the days in her heart.

Fu Long'an said that Nala's family only entered the palace around March [-]th.

Could it be that it wasn't Nalashi?
Could it be that Little Sixteen really just couldn't survive the vaccination?
The emperor knew what Wanxi was thinking.He just hugged Wanxi tightly, and said softly, "...Don't think about it, just take care of your body and wait to give birth to another child for the Lord. Leave the rest to the Lord, ah!"
.
Wanxi didn't dare to go back to Tiandi's family this evening.

She stayed in Jiuzhou Qingyan, accompanied by the emperor. Although her heart was broken, she still had someone to rely on, so she didn't have to work hard to support herself.

But the next day, a Kazakh envoy came to the audience, and the emperor had to fulfill his duty as the son of heaven.

After all, Wanxi returned to Tiandi's family, Chunlai.

Wanxi is really, some can't bear to face Yurui.

Sure enough, when Yu Rui came, she looked like a walking dead.Yu Rui, who was so young and lively, laughing and scolding, at this moment, except that she still has a breath, the rest can't tell that she is still alive.

Yu Rui knelt down in front of Wanxi, no matter how hard Wanxi pulled, she couldn't get up.

Wanxi couldn't even do it, because Yurui's whole body was heavy.Even if Wanxi exerted all her strength, she couldn't pull it up without Yurui's cooperation. At this moment, Yurui seemed to have lost all desire to survive.

Wanxi was originally holding on, but at this moment she couldn't help but shed tears, hugged Yurui tightly, Wanxi choked up and said, "You must not do this! I know everything about Xiao Shiliu, I have nothing to bear Come. On the contrary, seeing you like this, I really can't bear it."

"Silly Yurui, don't rely on yourself for this matter! How can I be a fool, how can I not understand that this has nothing to do with you!"

Yu Rui was still kneeling in a daze, but a ripple flashed in his eyes after all.

Her lips were dry and astringent, and her skin peeled with every breath.

"Sister... I'm already dead, I just keep this breath, I just want to wait for you to come back and kowtow goodbye to you. Sister... I'm going to accompany Brother Sixteen, I can't let her go like that alone gone."

Wanxi was shocked and in pain, and couldn't help but slapped Yurui on the shoulder, "Yurui, wake me up quickly! The pomegranate is gone, I can't go without you anymore! You didn't do anything wrong, and you also I'm not sorry for me at all, and it's even more impossible for me to complain about you!"

"Yu Rui, I want you to get well, get well quickly. You have to continue to be with me, you have to be the same as before, laughing and cursing in front of me every day... Only in this way can I survive Live the life in front of you. You can't do this, if you don't wake up, I can only sink in tears, and I won't get better either. "

Yurui trembled, her eyes faintly flowed, and she raised her head very slowly.

Although he was still a little sluggish, he was a little more angry than before, and he didn't look like a walking dead anymore.

Wanxi nodded with tears in her eyes, reached out to rub Yurui's cheeks, and patted her on the shoulder.I hope this kind of action can make Yurui's blood flow again, and make her complexion rosy again.

"Let me tell you... I, I will try my best to have another child. Yurui, did you hear that, you have to stay with me, and you have to continue to help me take care of that future child! You forgot , how old am I this year? I’m 39. If I have a child, I’ll be born next year at the earliest—I’ll be 40 next year!”

"At this age, I am already a grandmother. Without you to accompany me and take care of me, I can't do it... Yurui, you can't go with pomegranate. You have a deeper bond with me. You have to Just stay with me!"

Yu Rui's numb body finally trembled slightly on her shoulders.

Wanxi held back her sadness, and continued to speak hastily, "...Buddhism teaches reincarnation, and innocent children won't just go away like that. It's like Yuanzi comes after the little deer leaves; I want to have another child as soon as possible, Maybe it will be Shiliu's renewing mother-child bond."

"Yu Rui, if you are really reluctant to part with the pomegranate, then you have to help me and let me conceive earlier. When everything is ready, the pomegranate will come back... Yu Rui, what do you say?" Don't you? Wake up quickly, and answer me quickly!"

Is there really reincarnation in this world?Wanxi is not sure.

But if this is the case, is it the only one who can keep Yurui?
After a long, long time, Yu Rui let out a long choked sob, waves of grief finally surged on her dull face, and her stiff body finally threw herself forward into Wan Xi's arms.

"Sister, sister—why wasn't I the one who died, why? I would rather go for Brother Sixteen, but why did I choose to go? It was that poor child..."

Wanxi hugged Yurui tightly, crying silently.

"Let's wait for him to come back together, shall we?"
