The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 39 Heartbroken
Xiao Jue came back a bit late tonight, today he went out of the palace to a plum garden in the capital to enjoy the plum blossoms, met a few friends, and went to the Chunxiang Tower for drinks together, but as a result, he delayed his return until this time after playing.

His little father-in-law, Xiao Luzi, carried an octagonal glazed palace lantern, and kept complaining about the snowy weather while walking, babbling endlessly along the way. A dog gnawed mud.

At any rate, the snow was thick, and the glazed palace lantern in his hand was not broken when he fell on the ground.

At the same time as he screamed, Xiao Jue tripped over something soft on the ground, staggered far away and nearly slipped.

Xiao Luzi grabbed the palace lantern on the ground, turned around to shine a light on it, and said dissatisfiedly, "What tripped us up?"

After seeing the things on the ground clearly, he screamed and fell to the ground in fright, "Oh, it's a dead, dead..."

Xiao Jue frowned and glanced at Xiao Luzi who was sitting on the ground with no color, walked back quickly, lifted her clothes and squatted down, put her finger under the nose of the woman who was buried in the snow, and said softly: "You are still alive, not dead."

Then he patted the snow on Qingchen's body, picked her up and hurriedly walked towards his palace.

Xiao Luzi followed beside him with a lantern in his hand, muttering, "His Royal Highness, I don't know which palace lady made a mistake and was beaten out, and I don't know if she can be saved. You hug her What should I do when I come back?"

"What should I do? You can't just sit and watch her die on the road, can you? The life of a palace maid is also your life." At the gate of the palace, Xiao Jue ordered: "Hurry up and invite the doctor, hurry up!"

Xiao Luzi knew Xiao Jue's uncompromising temper, so he agreed to go to the imperial hospital to ask for an imperial doctor.

Because I heard that His Royal Highness invited someone from the palace, and the person who came was Cheng An, the judge of the imperial hospital, and a senior imperial doctor like Cheng An was not qualified to see him in Qingchen on weekdays, so Dr. Cheng didn't know him. she.

After Dr. Cheng checked the pulse, he said that she had been hit and had some wind and cold, so he prescribed a good medicine and asked someone to bring it over. Go rest yourself.

When Qingchen woke up the next day, he was in a strange room.

She stroked her forehead with a splitting headache, and looked at the furnishings of the room in a daze. She didn't think it was a place where ordinary maids lived. She didn't know where she was, but she didn't have the time to think about it.

She got up and got out of bed in a daze. She didn't even put on her shoes, and walked out with her bare feet in a trance.

Jin Yun's death hit her too hard, and she hasn't recovered yet.

In a daze, she didn't know how she got back to Xihe Palace. There was no one in the yard, and even Xiao Xiangzi went out on crutches.

The servants served by Yin Fengxuan were so mad that they couldn't find her all night, Jinxiu ran to tell the emperor, Xiao Jun was so panicked that she knocked over the tea in her hand, and walked all the way with chills in her heart, thinking of her that night When he fell into the water, his legs became weak while walking on the road.

Qingchen just felt cold, shivering from the cold, curled up on the bed, just in a daze like a fool.

She didn't dare to face this reality because she couldn't bear it.

She kept thinking that if she hadn't left last night, Jin Yun would not have been taken away, even if she was taken to Concubine Ning's Palace, they would not have been so cruel with her around.

It was her, it was her willfulness that killed Jin Yun...

When Xiao Jun rushed over with Yun Feng, Qing Chen still had that silly look, curled up at the corner of the bed, as if she was terrified of something.

Xiao Jun sighed, touched her head and persuaded softly: "Chen'er, Jinyun, she...is my fault. If I knew you would be like this, I would protect her for you no matter what. But her mouth is too tight, asking Say nothing..."

Qingchen didn't react at all, as if she didn't hear what he was talking about, Xiao Jun saw that she was holding onto a pillowcase tightly in her hand, and glanced at Jinxiu for some reason, Jinxiu said softly: "That pillowcase is Jinyun's pillowcase. It was embroidered." Then he said to Qingchen: "My lord, Jin Yun is already dead...you don't want to be like this..."

Shaking her head deceitfully, she shed tears before she opened her mouth, "Jin Yun is not dead, isn't she busy outside?

Go ask her to come in. I have something to tell her. I want her to embroider a curtain for me. This curtain is too old and needs to be replaced. "

She grabbed Jinxiu's arm, and told her while weeping and choking with sobs, "Hurry up, hurry up and call her in."

Seeing her like this, Jin Xin burst into tears of fear and cried out, lying on the bedside and shouting loudly: "My lord, don't scare this servant, Jin Yun she...she is really dead..."

"She didn't die, how could she die?"

Qingchen yelled at Jinxiu: "Didn't she say she wanted to make me lotus root flour osmanthus cake last night? Why did you curse her to death? Go and call her in, didn't you hear what I said?" ?”

Jinxiu covered her face and ran out. Seeing her foolishness, Xiao Jun knew that she was fascinated by the pain, so she hugged her tightly in her arms.

"Chen'er, Jin Yun is dead, did you hear that she is dead! Can you wake up? I know you are sad, but this is..."

"Go away, I don't want to see you, go away!"

Qingchen cried out hoarsely and wanted to push him away, but Xiaojun hugged him too tightly and she had no strength to push him away, so she slapped him again and again, "Go away, I won't let you say that Jinyun is dead, I hate you, I hate all of you, you are cold-blooded, ruthless, selfish and cruel, you have no heart at all, let me go..."

She struggled to get out of bed, and wanted to run out with bare feet, her feet were covered with scars, and she was bruised and purple from the cold all the way, but she didn't seem to feel any pain, just murmured mechanically: " Jin Yun is not dead, I want to find her, I want to find her..."

Jin Xin rushed over and hugged her legs tightly and cried, "My lord, Jin Yun is really dead, please wake up."

Qingchen swayed, and the strong dizziness made her unable to support herself and fell to the ground. A flood of despair filled her heart, "She didn't die...I killed her..."

The gossamer-like hope in her heart was shattered, and her mind was instantly crushed.

Xiao Jun supported her body behind her with distressed heart, and heard her cry with her eyes closed recklessly: "It's me, it's all my fault, it's because I wanted to escape from the palace that I delayed saving her, it's all my fault Selfish...Your Majesty, kill me, kill me.

Why are you unwilling to save Jinyun?Why don't you believe she's innocent...why?
I just fed her a bowl of medicine when she was sick, and she was willing to die for me...but for me, I just watched her die before my eyes and was dragged away, but what? I can't even do it... It's my willfulness that killed her..."

Xiao Jun was heartbroken to hear her incoherent and crying, and suddenly couldn't breathe, her whole body choked and seemed about to faint.

Seeing that she was too emotional, Xiao Jun couldn't bear to see her continue to suffer like this, so she frowned and slapped her on the back of the head, knocking her out.

She is still having a high fever, and if this continues, she may die.
