Chapter 227 Death

The empress dowager did not explain who the children of the first four princes were, let alone the grievances of those ancestors. She just looked at the empress and sighed, and told him that she had forgiven him, and I believe the prince forgave him too, making him want to Do what you do.

After saying this sentence, the Empress Dowager smiled and closed her eyes. The expression on the Empress Dowager's face was obscure, but the Empress Dowager cried bitterly.

When Zhuang Zhuang was woken up, he saw the people in the room crying together. The child didn't think much, and burst into tears, the kind of crying without tears.

In the past, his mother and father would come to coax him at such times, but today he howled for a long time and there was no movement, so he stopped by himself.

When the Empress Dowager passed away, how could Ren Wuyun and Wei Qingzhen dare to coax him?What's more, Ren Wuyun is really sad.

Seeing his son stopped, Ren Wuyun carried him to the empress dowager's bed, put him on the ground, and said: "Kneel down and kowtow."

Zhuang Zhuang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the Empress Dowager's hand and cried "wow", but this time he really cried, and the tears fell down in strings as if he didn't want money.

Ren Wuyun was taken aback, and finally stared at his son's tears and fell into a daze.

Although the emperor was also sad in his heart, but the Empress Dowager's funeral still had to be presided over, he got up and was about to arrange it, when he looked up and saw Ren Wuyun's dumb look, he was so angry that he dragged him out with his hands, and said with a straight face: " Now that the emperor's grandmother has passed away, it's an important time ahead, so you have to keep an eye on me so that nothing goes wrong."

Ren Wuyun nodded repeatedly.

Because Wei Qingzhen was in the palace when the Empress Dowager passed away, she couldn't get away temporarily, but she was worried about keeping the three children here, so she planned to let the wet nurses take the children back.

The Supreme Emperor said: "The Empress Dowager specially gave the three children grace before she died, why not let them wear mourning, and also act as the grandson of the Empress Dowager."

Surprised, Wei Qingyu looked up at the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager sighed: "Let's do it like this. Have someone go and bring the little tiger into the palace, and you and the children will rest at my place for a few days." Immediately, she asked someone to go back and tidy up the side hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace Come out to live with five of them, mother and child.

The queen silently glanced at Wei Qingzhen, then turned and left.

The queen didn't know, after she left, the queen mother turned her head to look at her, and the female officer next to the queen mother stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Empress Dowager is still very smart."

"Of course I'm not afraid of what she might do at this time, but I'm just worried that Rui'er will be sad in the future. People will always change, but everyone hopes that the people around them will try not to change."

Wei Qingzhen sent a letter to the princess, asking her to help take care of Xiyuan.

This is not difficult for the princess. Anyway, she has been in charge of it before, but she replaced the colorful things in the yard, and then replaced them with white cloth to restrain the servants.

When Wei Qingyu appeared in front of everyone again, it was time for the wives to enter the palace and cry.

Seeing Wei Qingzhen coming out of the harem and standing next to Princess Pingnan, the expressions of several princesses and first-rank wives changed slightly.I heard that on the day the Empress Dowager passed away, the couple was announced to enter the palace.After that, Wei Qingzhen and several children stayed in the palace, and even the eldest son who stayed outside was taken in by the father-in-law in the palace.Now there is everything out there.

The loudest call was that the royal family took Wei Qingyu and several children as hostages, forcing Ren Wuyun to take back the four kings' military power for the emperor.

The four kings thought it was nonsense, but there were many people outside who believed it.The more absurd it is, the more people are willing to believe it.

Seeing Wei Qingzhen walking out of the harem now, although his face was a little pale and his eyes were a little red and swollen, there was no fear in his eyes, and he looked purely sad for the death of the Empress Dowager.

Princess Pingnan glanced at everyone's faces, and asked in a low voice: "Where are the children? The father-in-law who came to the house that day didn't speak clearly, and I don't know what's wrong with you."

Wei Qingyu didn't realize that the people around her were all pricking up their ears. In the past three days, she had to take care of four children, and she had to watch the spirit in front of the Empress Dowager, so she was extremely exhausted. The children are in front of the empress dowager." After a pause, he said, "They will cry like the emperor and the princes."

The wife only cried in the hall, all the officials mourned in front of the court, and the emperor and the princes were to be in front of the empress dowager.It stands to reason that the four children are still young, so they don't need to enter the palace.

Princess Pingnan was stunned, but the audience was horrified, and the way they looked at Wei Qingzhen changed.

Princess Pingnan quickly asked: "What do you mean? The emperor asked for it?" With the friendship between the emperor and Brother Yun, it is indeed possible to do such a thing.

"No," Wei Qingyu felt helpless, "it was requested by the Supreme Emperor."

Why did the Supreme Emperor suddenly make such a request?

Those who heard it could not help guessing.

The next crying spirit was a little absent-minded, but his face was still full of sadness. Anyone who could walk to the front of the hall was good at acting.

Not long after Wei Qingzhen knelt down, Eunuch Li who was beside the Queen Mother came to him, "... Ma'am, Madam should take care of the young masters at the front." When he said this, Eunuch Li had a weird expression on his face.

Wei Qingyu left quietly and hurried over, only to see Zhuang Zhuang in filial piety being hugged by the emperor in filial piety, beside Ren Wuyun with a tired face holding Kangkang and An An, and the little tiger could barely open his eyes .

Seeing Wei Qingyu approaching, the emperor's face looked better, and he nodded slightly at Ren Wuyun.

Ren Wuyun stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The children only need to come here every morning and evening, and let the little tiger accompany you."

The triplets are really too young, and the average married woman can't stand it just by coming to cry every morning, not to mention that Qing Yu has to take care of four children.Ren Wuyun looked distressed.

Wei Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Send the triplets back to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, ask the maids to take care of them, and quickly drag the little tiger back.The little tiger is already seven years old, and the eldest son of the emperor is only six years old. Didn't he also kneel before the coffin without saying a word?
Naturally, the court ladies dare not neglect the triplets, not to mention the empress dowager, the emperor, and the emperor's love for the triplets. No one would dare to neglect the triplets just because of the queen mother's relationship.

The queen frowned and looked at Concubine Xian, and said, "Sister, why don't you bear it any longer, let's talk about it after seven days, the Supreme Emperor is not in a good mood now, if he is caught, I'm afraid the Emperor will be implicated."

Concubine Xian has always been a person who has no ideas, so she nodded when she heard the words: "What the empress said is true, then I will go back."

The maid behind Xianfei had an ugly expression on her face, Xianfei tugged at her sleeves to stop her from speaking.The queen gave her a cold look, and the maid's face suddenly turned pale.

When the person left, the maid stomped her feet in hatred, "Second Miss, you are pregnant now, so you are no better than others."

Concubine Xian sighed: "I am not the only one who is pregnant in the palace now, and what the empress said is correct. At this time, it is better not to make the emperor and the emperor angry. After all, the emperor does not lack children."

The maid had no choice but to go back with Concubine Xian.

Wei Qingzhen knelt with all the princes and concubines, facing Concubine Xian, she looked up and saw Concubine Xian's face was a little pale, dripping with cold sweat.

Wei Qingzhen frowned slightly, and when he looked outside again, he saw Xianfei's personal maid, Xiumei who was said to be brought into the palace by her, standing anxiously in the corner.Wei Qingyu felt a little hesitant in her heart, she didn't want to participate in these things in the palace, but let her turn a blind eye when she saw it, I'm afraid she would feel uneasy.

Wei Qingzhen was about to get up, when a female official beside the queen mother came to pick him up, and when she got out of the main hall, the female official said: "Now it's time for lunch, the fourth lady eats first, and then go over, the young master, we will also let people go I took it." Let the mother and son have a good rest.

Wei Qingyu was grateful, so he hesitated for a moment and said: "I just saw that some Youxi ladies are not in good health. The queen mother is kind, and they just take advantage of this time to rest."

The female officer was taken aback for a moment. This was a gift specially given by the queen mother to the fourth wife and the young master, and it did not spread to all the concubines.Thinking of this, the female officer was thoughtful.Opposite the fourth madam is like a kneeling concubine Xian, she is only two months pregnant.

Speaking of which, Concubine Xian has been in the palace for six years, but she has never had a child, and this is her first child.

The female official sent Wei Qingzhen to the side hall and then left.

It's better to tell the empress dowager about this matter.

The queen mother laughed and said: "She still hasn't changed much, her heart is too soft, but that's why Brother Yun is so nervous about her."

The female official lowered her head and pretended not to hear, the queen mother pondered for a moment, and said: "Since that's the case, let's pass on the order, and the pregnant concubines will only be there for half a day. For the concubine Xian, you will take the imperial doctor there yourself."

The female officer responded and stepped back.

When the queen heard about it, she was so angry that she almost dropped the cup in her hand, "If I had such vicious thoughts, would the emperor's princes have jumped out one by one in the past few years? The queen mother underestimated me too much."

The nurse next to the queen sighed, and said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that you have misunderstood what the Empress Dowager meant. It is estimated that the Empress Dowager made it up when she saw that you had missed something. It may not be to prevent you, otherwise there are so many people in the palace. Pregnant concubine, why didn't the empress dowager say anything before?"

Although there have been aborted children in the harem in the past few years, there have been no children who died young. Compared with the previous harem loss rate, it is considered lower (Wei Qingyu suspects that it is because the emperor married late and had children later--God sees it, 19 years old is indeed It can be regarded as a late marriage), and the queen also said that if she has time, she might as well teach her son to read and write. How can she have time to harm the children of those concubines?

Concubine Xian at the front breathed a sigh of relief, weakly supported the maid's hand and walked back, but bumped into the emperor head-on, Concubine Xian turned even paler, quickly lowered her head, and timidly stood aside.

The emperor frowned, "Why are you here?"

"I, I..." Concubine Xian opened her mouth, unable to speak, and the palace maid behind was secretly anxious.

Concubine Xian lowered her head in shame. Seeing this, the emperor suppressed the irritability in his heart, and nodded indifferently, "Then go back quickly, the empress is busy, so don't trouble her anymore."

How can this work?The empress's body is already at the end of her strength, if she goes back to kneel again, the little prince in her stomach will definitely be lost. Xiumei also didn't care about the dignity, she stepped forward and knelt down and replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it was the empress dowager who ordered the concubine Xian The empress and the other two pregnant concubines are going back to rest, and the servants will help the empress to return to the Qian Palace." I specifically said that the emperor said "go back" to return to the Qian Palace.

Only then did the emperor look directly at Concubine Xian, seeing her pale face, and her whole body was on the verge of falling, thinking of Concubine Xian's character, he sighed in his heart, and his tone became better, "If that's the case, you all go back." After a pause, he said: "You are not in good health, just take my sedan chair and drive you back."

Concubine Xian immediately waved her hands and said no, but Xiumei was delighted.

The emperor didn't have so much time to say goodbye to her, he just asked someone to bring the sedan chair over and left by himself.
