At this moment, a gentle but majestic voice came. I am not very familiar with that voice, but with that momentum, I can guess the owner of the voice.

"Heer, you wait."

There was only the sound of "tick" rain. I couldn't hear anything. Hui Ju sat quietly beside me, carefully blowing a bowl of red jujube longan porridge in his hand before feeding it to my mouth.

The door was closed, shutting off people outside. The surroundings became more and more still, and the stillness made me slowly regain my body's perception. All the previous things surfaced in my heart, and I felt strange and shocking.

Suddenly, my heart jumped. One thing that I always thought was very important but didn't remember finally came to mind.

"Hui Ju", I asked in a trembling voice: "Hui Ju, where is Linglong?"

Hui Ju's body trembled visibly, and it took a while to look up at me. I could see the tears rolling in her eyes, and an ominous feeling spread all over her body. Breathing out quickly, my hands couldn't help grasping the skirt of my chest.

"Could it be..." I struggled not to say what I thought, but looked at Huiju with expectant eyes.

Hui Ju took a look at me and shook her head: "Manny, the little princess is lying in the next room. She has been rescued. The doctor is treating, but..."

I stared straight into her eyes, my strength was about to be drained: "Just what?"

Hui Ju's eyes were red: "It's just that the doctor said it's not very good."

I fell on the bed. It’s not very good. Does it mean that I’m not good or hopeless?

Linglong is so small, and it took me so much to wake up after falling into the water. How can she overcome the boundless darkness of a baby who is still in her infancy?

"Don't be afraid of the empress. Although the imperial doctor is not very good, there is still hope." Seeing my face changed, Huiju quickly added: "Just now the slave and maid went to take a look. The little princess is already awake."

I took a long sigh of relief and suddenly felt very tired. Move down, want to get out of bed to see Linglong. As soon as my feet touched the ground, I only felt weak and weak in my legs, struggling to stand up. Suddenly, a tearing pain came from my lower body, sweat oozing from my forehead, and I looked at Huiju in horror.

Huiju looked at me, Xu Ye's face was getting paler and paler, and she quickly reached out to help me: "Manny, what's wrong with you"

"It hurts..." I only had time to say this sentence, and collapsed to the ground when it went dark.

There was warm liquid flowing out of itself, bringing endless pain and drowning me.

Opening his eyes again, there was a faint smell of blood in the sleeping hall.

I struggled and called out: "Hui Ju." I only felt my lips dry and I couldn't speak.

"Niangniang, Niangniang..." Huiju rushed to my bed almost immediately: "Niangniang, you are awake!" He quickly called a doctor.

The pain in my lower abdomen is unbearable. He couldn't help but put his hand on it.

Huiju saw my movements and tears fell.

"Huiju, I feel so painful." I said quietly, "It's so cold..."

Huiju's face was full of tears. I saw the tears and suddenly understood.

I was so embarrassed, but I couldn't cry. The eyes are like dry wells, and there is no way to gush out spring water.

"Niang Niang, as long as you take care of your body, you will still have children." Hui Ju wiped her eyes with a towel, muttering comforting me.

I can't hear anything. The child is gone, my child, my child who let me step back from the ghost gate, so that my family can have my child protected by the emperor, no more...

"Hui Ju, go and invite the emperor to come up." I gathered my shirt and spoke to Hui Ju with difficulty.

Huiju was about to go down, only to hear a majestic voice outside the door.

"Hold on."

Then someone lifted the pearl curtain and saw a woman walk in slowly.

"Greetings to the empress dowager." Huiju knelt down, keeping her head low.

"Don't tell the emperor." The queen mother waved her hand: "You go to wait outside first."

Huiju went down.

The dark blue brocade robes of Fushou with dark patterns have a deep luster, but they are more solemn. The queen mother walked towards me slowly, the expression on her face was peaceful and quiet, but she could see the deep sternness in her phoenix eyes.

I raised my head to look at her, braced to get out of bed to salute, a maid beside the queen mother hurriedly held me down, and said in a crisp voice: "The queen mother does not have to be like this, the queen mother is here to visit her."

When I heard the words, I looked at the Queen Mother. She kept looking at my face carefully, her eyes seemed to be looking for something on my face.

I bent down slightly and bowed my head as a salute: "My son, please greet my mother."

Only then did the queen mother come back to her senses with a faint smile and said: "You have just had a miscarriage, so you have to raise it well, this will be avoided."

She paused and said: "The emperor placed you here to protect the child in your womb. After all, he didn't know the danger of the harem, but he didn't want to have such an accident. They came to report their grief. The Ai's family has come here non-stop. Yao'er is so busy with the affairs of the country that the Ai's family has ordered people not to notify him. After all... it is not suitable at this time."

After that, I sat down in front of my bed, took my hand, looked at it carefully but didn't speak. In her gentle eyes, I felt an inexplicable pressure for some reason.

This woman of three dynasties is the most noble woman in the world, and the years did not leave too many marks on her face, but there was more calmness and suddenness after all the events in her eyebrows. Her body exudes a noble air that makes people afraid to look up, from the inside to the outside, which cannot be ignored.

Even though I am her daughter-in-law, on the other hand, I am also her subject.

Erchen Erchen, what an appropriate title.

"Mother Queen," I called out carefully, checking her face.

The queen mother did not speak for a long time, and the surrounding court ladies and eunuchs also stood holding their breath.

After a long while, the queen mother finally opened her mouth, her voice low, with sadness and sympathy, her eyes looked at me, and there was an emotion that I didn't see clearly for a while.

"The imperial doctor has done your best. Don't be too sad. Your body is the most important thing."

I nodded softly: "The son and minister thanked his mother for concern."

My voice was very weak, tears fell when I spoke, and the queen mother wiped her eyes. But her eyes suddenly sharpened, looking at a **** standing behind her.

"Li Fuquan, does the nurse have a confession?"

The **** replied softly: "In response to the Queen Mother, when she caught her, the nurse had already taken poison and died. However, the slave is trying to find out who instigated it."

The queen mother nodded: "This matter must be done quickly. Murdering the royal bones and blood, assassinating the queen, but no one can cover the charges." After speaking, she looked at me, but her eyes dodge.

I met her eyes, knowing that it was too late, not just for this. Even if the Queen Mother does not investigate such a thing, I believe that Shen Xiyao will never let it go.

I said in a voice that only she and I could hear: "I'm afraid there will be other things after the mother."

I don't know how I could say something like this which seemed a bit arrogant, but before she came in from the Queen Mother, I kept looking at her eyes, and I finally saw the meaning that I didn't understand before.

The queen mother was stunned, the surprise on her face flashed by, and then she smiled. The smile was very light and shallow, hardly noticeable, but with admiration and alert.

She nodded, waved her hand to the back, and said, "You go down first, the Ai family and the queen have some self-confidence. Without Ai Jia's will, no one can enter."

She paused and said to Li Fuquan: "No one can go to the island. You go and guard the house." Seeing the figure of the last court lady disappear outside the door, the door closed with a "crunch" and I sat up straight Turned out, frowned when meeting the Queen Mother.

"Mother, what do you want to say to Erchen?" I looked at her with a gentle smile.

The queen mother paused and stood up, seeming to be thinking about how to say what she is about to say. I watched her pacing back and forth in the room, and the shadow reflected by the candlelight often appeared in my dreams later.

After a long time, I finally understood the meaning of that shadow to me. It changed my name, my identity, and my life and my love. But when I wanted to ask her why it was too late to make such a decision.

At this time, the Queen Mother stood in front of the window and said quietly: "This rain came suddenly, who would have thought that it was a sunny scene before."

I smiled indifferently: "Whether it's raining well, it happens to have washed away the bleak autumn breeze that has come in the past few days, and the sky has fallen leaves all over the sky."

The queen mother stood still in front of the window for a while, and finally turned around, holding something in her hand, which had the moisturizing light I am familiar with under the candlelight.

I looked at the Queen Mother, she sighed a long sigh, and handed the object to me: "Do you recognize this thing?"

I took it hesitantly. It was a hairpin with a delicate magnolia shape on the head of the hairpin. The edge of the magnolia was inlaid with silver wire, and one petal was slightly curved. I watched repeatedly, restraining the emotions in my heart, and tried my best not to exclaim.

I didn't expect to see it again. Although I saw the two that are almost identical to it before, but... I repeatedly rubbed the small "lan" with the hairpin and looked up at the Queen Mother, my heart was full doubt.

Yes, what I have now is the jade magnolia hairpin my mother gave me.

The queen mother sat down not far from me, her face was hidden behind the shadow, and she couldn't see clearly.

I only heard her voice, deep and obscure: "Do you recognize this hairpin?"

"Mother, this is what Erchen's mother gave to Erchen when Erchen entered the palace. It was her dowry back then. I accidentally lost it before. I don't want to see him again today, so I feel so happy in my heart."

"But Concubine Liu also said it was hers, what do you think?"

I was startled, and immediately laughed, helplessly. "That Concubine Liu said it was her hairpin, not this one."

I looked down at the word "lan" again, and explained: "Her one was picked up by the emperor, and the child minister somehow looks exactly like this one, but it doesn't have the word "lan"."

The queen mother nodded and took out another one from the sleeve: "Then look at the one from Concubine Liu, but this one?"

I took it hesitantly, and compared the two pieces together. It was almost imperceptible, but when I looked closely, the texture of the jade was still different. I nodded and became puzzled. I thought that the Queen Mother came to ask the teacher because of Shen Xiyao's injury, but I didn't want to. This was the situation.

What is she going to do, I am puzzled.

The queen mother smiled, that smile was like a mother, very loving. But in a blink of an eye, she took out a hairpin that was folded in two from her sleeve. I fixed my eyes to see that it was the one that Shen Xiyao had broken earlier.

My heart mentioned the eyes of my throat, why these three are all here with the Queen Mother.
