"I want to report to my lord, the bone sore is born on the outside of the thigh. It is caused by the cold and dampness of the weak person. It is a curable disease. Don't worry, the servant and others will do their best to cure the fifth elder brother. Sick!" Li Taiyi received the emperor's order early this morning to see the fifth elder brother, so naturally he would not neglect him in the slightest. 【@】

"In this way, I can rest assured!" Concubine Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the words.

However, the sky did not go as planned, and in November, the fifth elder brother's condition did not improve at all, but showed signs of aggravation. Concubine Yu went to visit immediately, and the emperor was very worried. "The prince" comforted the fifth elder brother and hoped that he would recover soon, but the fifth elder brother who had been healthy since childhood could not hold on, and became seriously ill day by day, and died in Prince Rong's mansion on the eighth day of March of the following year.

The fifth elder brother's death caused an uproar in the palace and the court, which also meant that the situation in the palace and the court would undergo tremendous changes.

With the loss of the queen and the death of the fifth elder brother, the ministers who originally supported the twelfth elder brother and the fifth elder brother did not dare to make the slightest change. Headed by Fu Heng, they were in the middle of the secret fight for the position of the crown prince. The neutral ministers have a more detached position in the court.

Across the audience of princes, the only ones who still have the opportunity to participate in the battle for the throne are the eighth elder brother, the eleventh elder brother, and the fifteenth elder brother from the imperial concubine. The eighth elder brother has always been absurd and not loved by the emperor. Although Elder Brother can be regarded as outstanding, the emperor has some objections to his emphasis on civility over martial arts. The six-year-old but well-behaved Elder Brother Fifteen suddenly entered the eyes of everyone, and he took ten thousand steps back and said that even if he inherits the great power in the future Elder brother Eleven is the one who was raised by the imperial concubine, just like his own.

For a while Wei Ning'er attracted the attention of everyone in the palace and court, more and more concubines often came to Zuixin Garden, and more and more courtiers secretly expressed their willingness to work for the imperial concubine to Fu Heng.

But Wei Ning'er didn't feel the slightest joy in her heart. Now that the emperor has lost his beloved son, it's a time of grief, but these people are so high-profile to please her, which really chills the emperor and frightens her. Simply put, Fu Heng has always been cautious. After people reported to Wei Ning'er, they secretly dismissed those people. Wei Ning'er also ordered the servants to close the door to thank the guests. Except for Lu Yunxi, no one in the palace concubine was seen.

On May [-]th, Wei Ning'er successfully gave birth to the seventeenth prince in Zuixin Garden. The emperor was very happy to have a son. Even the Queen Mother came to congratulate her, and the concubines in the palace were waiting outside Zuixin Garden early Wei Ning'er said congratulations, only concubine Yu is missing.

"Your Majesty, the sun is getting brighter, you can go back and rest for a while!" Chun Xu looked at Concubine Yu who was getting thinner and thinner, with tears in her eyes.

"I don't want to go back, as long as I go back to the bedroom, I will remember the scene of Yongqi playing in it when I was a child, I am afraid!" Concubine Yu said that tears flowed from her dry eyes.

"Your Majesty!" Chun Xu couldn't cry anymore. After all, she had served Concubine Yu for many years, and she also watched Prince Rong grow up. It was the master's only hope and reliance, but now it's gone. She is sad, making her uncomfortable?

"Chun Xu, this palace is really self-inflicted. You have been with this palace for many years, and you know exactly what this palace has done. Over the years, the only thing that this palace has ever done is to serve as an envoy to the imperial concubine last time. I stumbled, I never thought of retribution so quickly, God is really unfair, no one in this palace has done one or two things against their will, why are they so harsh on this palace? Why do you want to take away Yongqi from my palace?" The cruelest thing in the world is that a white-haired person gives a black-haired person, Concubine Yu has been immersed in pain and regret every day for the past two months, and has no peace.

"Your Majesty, don't blame yourself. The illness came like a mountain. No one expected this. You are so sad now, and the prince will not be at peace in heaven!" Chun Xu didn't want to see her master's body being dragged down because of this. Then he said: "You still have little Baylor, ma'am, you have to make it through, so little Baylor will have a bright future!"

"Mianyi." Concubine Yu's eyes suddenly brightened, and she muttered to herself: "Yes, there is still Mianyi. His mother is too sad these days, and she doesn't care about her children. I can't let Yongqi's only There are three ups and downs in the blood, this palace must live on, and in the future, I will take Mian Yi to the palace to raise him personally!"

"Your Majesty is right!" Chun Xu laughed with tears in her eyes.

At this moment, the Eighth Princess, who had just taken a nap, ran out of the bedroom in disheveled clothes and threw herself into Concubine Yu's arms.

"Baoying, what's the matter with you?" Seeing the tear stains on the child's face, Concubine Yu couldn't help feeling anxious.

"Emiang, didn't you agree to accompany Baoying? Baoying is scared when she wakes up and can't see Erniang!" said the eighth princess while wiping her tears.

"Don't be afraid, Erniang is here, Erniang is here!" Concubine Yu hugged the child, with tears in her eyes. Although she lost Yongqi, she couldn't just fall down, so that her precious couplet would have nothing to rely on. Wuerniang's child is the most pitiful. Although Baoying is not her own, she has brought her up. In her heart, she is just like her own. If it were any other concubine, she would not treat Baoying so well. , not to mention, she also has her little grandson Mianyi, for the sake of these two children, she must live well.

Concubine Yu who lost the fifth elder brother was equivalent to losing the last power. She has always been forgotten by the emperor. The servants in the palace are all very shrewd. Li also began to neglect. Although the monthly bills and daily bills have not been deducted, there are more and more defective products.

Although Wei Ning'er was in charge of the harem, shortly after the birth of her child, she had more energy than she wanted, and usually handed over everything to Cheng Liang, the Chief Eunuch of the House of Internal Affairs. Someone she trusts.

It wasn't until the beginning of July that Lu Yunxi heard the servant say that Concubine Yu was having a hard time in the palace, so she told Wei Ning'er, and Wei Ning'er realized that Cheng Liang was deliberately harsh, and couldn't help but feel angry, and after reprimanding Cheng Liang, ordered Cheng Liang not to neglect Concubine Yu in the future .

Up to now, Lu Yunxi still hasn't told Wei Ning'er that Concubine Yu secretly wanted to harm her, so Wei Ning'er, who didn't know about it, even though she felt a little pissed about Concubine Yu's wanting to fight her, she sympathized with Concubine Yu more. I have experienced it more than once, but the two children who passed away were still young after all, and they didn't stay with her for long. Now she just thinks of them often, cherishes them, and feels heartbroken alone. Concubine Yu is different. Having lived with Concubine Yu for more than 20 years, every bit of it has been integrated into Concubine Yu's heart. The pain of bone erosion is unimaginable.

Regarding Wei Ning'er and Lu Yunxi's helping hands, Concubine Yu pretended not to know on the surface, but a warm current surged in her heart, but...she no longer has the face to be worthy of their sisters, and she who has betrayed once can't get them What's more, now she wants nothing more than to watch Baoying and Mianyi grow up, and the right and wrong in the palace have nothing to do with her. When it fell, it was just that the price was too heavy, so heavy that it hurt her heart every time she thought about it.

On July [-]th, Princess Hejing asked to enter the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager, the emperor readily agreed, and sent someone to clean up the bedroom where the princess lived before leaving the pavilion, and wanted to keep Princess Hejing to stay for a longer period of time.

Although she was accompanying the Queen Mother, since Princess He Jing came to the garden, she would come to Wei Ning'er's Zuixin Garden to sit for a while every day.

"Lili, at the end of the month the emperor will visit the Mulan paddock, do you want to go with me?" Wei Ning'er looked at Princess Hejing and smiled.

"No need, I want to stay in Changchun Garden to accompany the imperial grandmother, and my little princess is so clingy, I can't bear her!" Princess Hejing shook her head lightly.

"Not long after I gave birth to the prince, my body has not fully recovered, and I can't serve him anymore!" Firstly, she was indeed feeling unwell, and secondly, Wei Ning'er was worried about leaving the children in the garden.

"It's just right, let's play in this garden, the Old Summer Palace is really something you'll never get tired of seeing!" Princess Hejing laughed softly.

"En!" Wei Ning'er nodded slightly.

"Ning'er, have you ever heard that the queen is ill?" Princess He Jing asked suddenly.

"Empress!" Wei Ning'er was startled, and then said solemnly: "Last month, a servant from the Palace came to report that the Empress was ill due to summer heat, and wanted to ask the imperial doctor to take a look. It's stuffy and hot, making people uncomfortable. The queen has been pampered and pampered all these years, how can I suffer, but it happened that the emperor was there when the eunuchs came to report. "

"She is pitiful now!" Princess Hejing heard the words, her face was flickering, and then she said softly: "The emperor's grandmother even mentioned the queen today. After all, she is sick, and the emperor's grandmother is always worried. Her old man can't just sit and watch. Watching the queen die of illness, right? I'll just make the decision and bring an imperial doctor over there to have a look!"

"You!" Wei Ning'er looked at her in surprise, then nodded and said, "You can go if you want, but don't let your Huang Ama know about it!"

"It's not that I don't tell you about this matter. Others don't know about it. I also saw that the emperor's grandmother was worried, so I wanted to go away to comfort her. Even if Huang Ama knew about it, she wouldn't blame me!" Princess Hejing said rather For self-confidence.

"Okay! I'll let Imperial Physician Li accompany you for a while!" Wei Ning'er asked Xiao Yizi to deliver the decree to the Imperial Hospital, and personally sent Princess He Jing out of the Zuixin Garden.

After watching the princess go away, Wei Ning'er returned to the bedroom, and hugged Elder Seventeen herself for a long time before giving it to the wet nurse.

"Your Majesty, the princess is really kind. Not only forgave the empress, but she also took the imperial doctor to see her!" Bing Ruo sighed.

"Not good!" Wei Ning'er heard a flash of inspiration in her mind, and immediately stood up.

"Niang Niang?" Bing Ruo looked at her suspiciously.

"Bingruo, I want to go back to the palace, and tell Xiao Yizi to prepare immediately." An anxious look appeared on Wei Ning'er's face. How could the Hejing princess who died the queen suddenly care about the queen's life?I'm afraid her real purpose is to put the queen to death.
