Glory all the way

Chapter 103 Miscarriage
After the boudoir school started, Bai Yingluo's life became more and more comfortable.

When she gets up early, Bai Yingluo will go for a walk in the woods in the backyard, and when she is in a good mood, she will take out the Tao Xun and play a song. When the golden light shines in the sky, Bai Yingluo has already returned to Lanxin Pavilion, ready to go to Mingcuiju for class up.

When Master Yao stepped into Mingcuiju, Bai Yingyun was still yawning and confused, but Bai Yingluo was already refreshed.

After taking a nap and getting up, Master Yao will teach piano, chess, calligraphy, painting or embroidery, and Bai Yingyun will pass the time with a melancholy face. On the other hand, Bai Yingluo is full of vigor and vitality. He mastered everything Master Yao taught.

After a few days, Bai Yingyun was a little sluggish, while Bai Yingluo was in high spirits, the two of them sat together, there was a huge difference.

In the Qing'an Hall, they noticed the difference between the two, and both Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Xue knew it well. Naturally, they wouldn't let Erfang and Bai Yingyun get off the stage, so they pretended to be invisible and didn't ask. But the second master, seeing Bai Yingyun like this He looked a little angry, and glared at the second lady angrily.

By June, the capital city is already quite hot in early summer, and the cool summer clothes of red flowers, willows and green are worn on the upper body, and the streets and courtyards are a little more bright and bright.

She thought her life would go on peacefully and comfortably like this, but a piece of news at the beginning of the month made Bai Yingluo a little surprised and didn't recover.

On the sixth day of June, an auspicious day in the old calendar, news came from the palace that Concubine Lin had a miscarriage.

When she heard the news, Bai Yingluo was happily telling old lady Bai the stories she had heard from Master Yao, the old and the young were laughing heartily, even the noisy birds chirping outside the window seemed to please my ears a bit.

Mrs. Xue came in to report the news, and even though the old lady Bai suppressed her smile, Bai Yingluo's voice stopped abruptly.

"Is the news accurate?"

Raising her eyebrows slightly, the old lady Bai looked at Mrs. Xue and asked.

Nodding her head, Mrs. Xue said with some pity: "Mrs. Beining Bo entered the palace at noon, and I heard that she came out of the palace crying. I went to see her in Beining Bo's mansion, but she still couldn't stop crying, her eyes It's like a swollen peach... oh, poor side concubine, and the child in her belly..."

There was some sympathy for Lin Zhimei in her heart, Bai Yingluo knew it without thinking, it was definitely not an accident.

Then he sighed a few times, and the old lady Bai said kindly: "In the past few days, you might as well go to Beiningbo's mansion more often, and persuade Mrs. Beiningbo, take it as a lesson. The concubine is still young, and the crown prince has taken good care of her, there is still a long way to go, and there will be more children."

After finishing speaking, seeing Mrs. Xue nodded in response, the old lady Bai turned her head to look at Bai Yingluo, "Take a day off with Master Yao, tomorrow, you go to the palace to see the side concubine, they are all of the same age, and it is not difficult to be in the same place. It’s easy to talk, and it’s also good to relieve the boredom in her heart.”

"Yes, Luo'er remembered it."

Bai Yingluo raised her head and saw Mrs. Xue nodded to her, and obediently responded to her grandmother.

Coming out of Qing'an Hall, Mrs. Xue took Bai Yingluo's hand and said: "In the afternoon, I will send someone to pass a sign into the palace to see if the side concubine is willing to see you. If not, you don't have to go. It is very difficult now You have to be careful in everything, don't touch someone's bad luck for nothing."

Who made Lin Zhimei's miscarriage, the left and right East Palace is only the crown princess and side concubine Fu, among them, the crown princess is more suspected, so Xue's move is also reasonable, Bai Yingluo thinks so .

In the evening, Mrs. Xue had already received the letter, and the East Palace approved the request for an audience from the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

After taking leave with Master Yao, Bai Yingluo entered the palace early the next morning with tassels.

Inside the East Palace, because of Lin Zhimei's miscarriage, it was a bit quieter than usual. When Bai Yingluo went to the main hall to greet the princess, she saw the solemn expression on the princess's face, as if she felt sorry for Lin Zhimei's miscarriage. Sad and self-blaming, on the other hand, side concubine Fu looked indifferent, she didn't know if she felt that the matter had nothing to do with her, or she was too lazy to put on an appearance.

Entering the East Side Hall, a strong smell of herbs hits the face.

Lin Zhimei was lying on the bed with a pale complexion, her red lips were bloodless, and her eyes were even more dull, as if all the anger in her body had faded.

It was early summer, and the courtyard outside was warm and pleasant, while the East Side Hall was eerie and cold.

"Yingluo has met Concubine Lin, Concubine Wanan..."

She leaned over and saluted, but no one shouted. Lin Zhimei's personal maid, Zhilan, came over and helped Bai Yingluo, "Miss Bai, you can talk to the side concubine, since... since yesterday, she has been It has always been like this, don't say anything, if there is anything inconsiderate, please forgive me."

As she spoke, Zhilan's eye circles instantly turned red, she turned her back to Lin Zhimei to wipe it off, Zhilan turned and went out, after a while, came in with tea and put it by Bai Yingluo's hand, and retreated with a few maidservants from the inner hall go out.

"Side concubine, side concubine... Sister Mei, can you hear what Yingluo is saying?"

In the silent inner hall, Bai Yingluo's soft voice was very clear and audible, but Lin Zhimei didn't seem to hear it, and stared blankly at the Bedford bed curtain above her head.

On the bed curtain, pomegranate flowers in full bloom were embroidered, and a small blessing was embroidered on each pomegranate petal, which was indescribably pleasing at first glance.

"Sister Mei..."

Reaching out her hand to gently pin her messy sideburns behind her ears, Bai Yingluo sighed inaudibly and persuaded softly: "Sister Mei, this is the end of the matter, there will be no one else but you and the people around you who care about you." I care about your mood. Loved ones are hurting, enemies are quick. Does Sister Mei want to see such a situation? If the person who hurt Sister Mei sees you like this, I am afraid that his heart will be even more happy , and those who care about Sister Mei, the pain in their hearts is beyond Sister Mei's imagination, Sister Mei, do you want to continue like this forever?"

Lin Zhimei's eyes moved, and she turned her head slightly.

"Pain for loved ones, hurry up for enemies... enemies, hurry up..."

While muttering, Lin Zhimei's words were indescribably hoarse, and the next moment, two lines of tears slipped from her eyes.

Reaching out to pull up the brocade quilt covering her body, Lin Zhimei bit her mouth tightly, crying silently, and the tears in her eyes fell more and more violently, as if she wanted to vent all the pain of the past two days .

I don't know how long it took before Lin Zhimei's mood gradually calmed down. She stretched out her hand to hold Bai Yingluo's hand, and Lin Zhimei said bitterly, "Yingluo, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, I should have done it long ago. Listen to what you say, it's all my fault..."

Lin Zhimei's words were a bit off-putting, but Bai Yingluo could understand them.

With the wholehearted love of the prince, Lin Zhimei has the capital to be hated before entering the palace, but she doesn't know how to restrain herself, and wants to compete with the princess everywhere.

Not only did Lin Zhimei not feel that there was anything wrong with the layout of the East Palace and the negligence of the princess after seeing the princess, but she thought it was right. Seeing that the slaves in the palace treated her more respectfully than they did to the prince Especially the concubine, Lin Zhimei's heart, not only did not have the slightest fear, but was a little proud.

It wasn't until yesterday that the abdominal pain continued, and when she woke up from fainting and learned the bad news that she had had a miscarriage, Lin Zhimei didn't know where she was wrong. Once it is lost, there is no way to get it back.

Seeing the sad eyes of the prince and the heartbroken tears of her mother, Lin Zhimei regretted her past, and really hoped that it would be over like this, and let her go to the underworld to accompany the unborn child.

But, can everything really end like this?

There were countless complicated thoughts whirling around in her mind, but she couldn't give an answer. Lin Zhimei was already on the verge of madness, but Lin Zhimei seemed to see the light at Bai Yingluo's words and understood a little. coming.

That's right, if I really continue to be so decadent, isn't it just as those wicked people want? .

"Zhilan, bring the medicine here..."

The hoarse voice became more and more miserable with the loud call. Lin Zhimei's hands were tightly clutching the brocade quilt, trying to crush the picture of the hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren on it with all his strength.

After coming out of the East Side Hall, Bai Yingluo looked up at the bright glazed tiles on the roofs of the surrounding palaces, but felt that it was icy everywhere, and one couldn't help shivering.

"Miss Bai..."

A familiar voice sounded behind her, and Bai Yingluo turned her head, facing Dou Xiuqiao with a smug smile.

"Miss Bai is leaving the palace? Why don't you let me give you a ride?"

Greeted familiarly, regardless of Bai Yingluo's disagreement, Dou Xiuqiao turned around and ordered the servants of the Eastern Palace to prepare. As soon as the two of them reached the gate of the inner palace, the imperial chariot of the Ministry of Internal Affairs rushed over.

Getting into the carriage, the two sat opposite each other. Dou Xiuqiao looked at Bai Yingluo knowingly and asked, "Miss Bai is here to see Concubine Lin, right? How is she feeling better?"

Bai Yingluo smiled, "The pain of losing a child, how can it be healed so quickly? But the matter has come to this point, the side concubine is a smart person, and she will figure it out in time, and her spirit will naturally recover when the time comes."

With Bai Yingluo's appearance, Dou Xiuqiao couldn't catch it. She lowered her head and looked at the gorgeous patterns on her sleeves, and then raised her head. Dou Xiuqiao's eyes became more and more smug, "Miss Bai I just don't want to know how Concubine Lin had a miscarriage?"

From yesterday when Mrs. Xue sent the message to Qing'an Hall, until today when she entered the palace, although Bai Yingluo had some suspicions in her heart, from the beginning to the end, no one told her about Lin Zhimei's miscarriage. Now that Dou Xiuqiao asked this question, Bai Yingluo only You could tell from her expression that things were definitely not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

Seeing that Bai Yingluo was noncommittal, Dou Xiuqiao acted like a fool, and said gloatingly: "So, if she is in her position to seek her own government, Lin Concubine is like this, it is her own fault, Miss Bai, what do you think?"

Hearing Mrs. Xue talk about Mrs. Beining's sadness, and seeing Lin Zhimei's heartbreak with her own eyes, now that Dou Xiuqiao spoke like this, Bai Yingluo suddenly became angry.

Staring at Dou Xiuqiao closely, Bai Yingluo didn't answer and asked instead: "Miss Dou, do you know that if the words you just said are spread, what will be the consequences for the Crown Princess?"

In a word, Dou Xiuqiao turned pale immediately.
