I was stunned for a moment, wondering why she suddenly asked this question.

This question is the hardest answer for me. As far as I meant, I really hope that I could go there and leave this place forever; but I am the one who can't bear to leave Miaoyan. Since Miaoyan is going to stay here, it's like a kite string tied to the imperial city.

I think I will come back after all.

So I smiled faintly and said, "Why did the Empress ask this? After all, my daughter is still here."

When Chang Qing heard me say this, she seemed to remember it. She also smiled. After laughing, she said a little lonely: "I don't know why, I always feel a little uneasy about you leaving this time, as if you will leave for a long time."

I smiled and said, "Empress's words are not bad. This time I go back to Xichuan, there are several places to go and several things to do. I really won't come back in a short time."

She said, "Then you must take good care of yourself."

"I know." I nodded and looked at her again: "Miaoyan stayed in the palace - she is young and a little willful, and I hope the Queen can take care of her more."

"This is naturally. In two days, I will mention this matter to the emperor."

"Thank you, Empress."

As we were talking, Xing'er hurriedly ran in from outside. Kou'er met the door. The two of us whispered a few words. Chang Qing and I both heard Kou'er gasping for air conditioning. Chang Qing said, "What's the matter? Where are you muttering?"

Kou'er then walked in and said in a low voice: "Empress, something happened to Lipin."

Lipin? Fang Zhijun?

Chang Qing's face darkened and she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

I accompanied Chang Qing to the lake in a hurry. There were already a lot of people around here, and they were all chattering. Xiao Fuzi was leading the people there, pointing at them and scolding: "There are so many things in the palace, no one does it. You are free to come here to watch the fun. Do you have to come here in person before you can leave?"

When the palace maids heard this, they all retreated one after another, and when they turned around, they saw the two of us, and hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects.

Xiao Fuzi also brought the two eunuchs behind him to salute: "Go to the Queen."

Chang Qing only waved her hand, and the palace maids all stepped back. Xiao Fuzi also stood up and walked to her side carefully. Chang Qing walked over there and asked, "What's going on?"

Xiao Fuzi whispered: "Early in the morning, I found that Concubine Li was missing and I asked people to look for it everywhere. As a result, when someone passed by the lake, he saw a ball of things floating far away from the lake. He thought that someone had hung up the clothes and fell into the lake. When he hooked up, he found that Concubine Li was."

“…”

"Empress, Empress is still careful," Xiao Fuzi subconsciously wanted to stop us, saying, "The person has not changed yet, but--"

Speaking of this, Chang Qing and I have already walked to the side of the body.

After just one look, I couldn't bear to look at it anymore and turned my head.

A corpse, no matter how unchanged it is, it will not look good. This woman was still very lively and stood in front of me a few days ago, but now she is lying on the ground so wet, her head is covered in black hair and is covered with a lot of water and grass dirt, and she looks particularly sloppy. Her face is blue-gray and she has not had any rest.

The two imperial physicians stood behind, both kneeling with pale faces.

Chang Qing looked at her and frowned. Xiao Fuzi hurriedly gave Kuaer a wink. Kuaer and the others hurriedly came forward to support Chang Qing: "Empress, let's stop looking at it, let them deal with the body."

Chang Qing stood still and didn't move, looking at the corpse with pain in her eyes. After a long time, she sighed: "Why, she is so unconscious!"

I listened by the side and frowned slightly.

Although I felt a little uncomfortable when I saw Fang Zhijun's death like this, Chang Qing - she should have experienced a lot of such things. When Shen Gongyi and his group fell, didn't Yuan Yueming die inexplicably? Of course, they were all their work. Why is she still feeling a little emotional now?

When I looked back and saw my puzzled expression, Chang Qing didn't say anything to me, but just waved her hand to let Xiao Fuzi deal with it. Xiao Fuzi took the order and immediately asked someone to carry the body away, and then explained it left and right. I followed Chang Qing back to Jingren Palace. After sitting down, she sighed and said, "Lipin, I have been pregnant for more than two months."

"What?!"

I was shocked at this moment and couldn't believe my ears.

"She, is she pregnant?"

Chang Qing nodded: "So, although her brother has been dismissed, he has not touched her yet. Instead, he has taken her there, just to wait for the child to be born, but he didn't expect that she was so uneasy that she would take the child to die."

“…”

I was still so shocked that I couldn't speak.

Fang Zhijun knew that she was pregnant, but she still jumped into the lake to commit suicide. Did she really not care about the child in her womb?

Or, she has seen her future - the child born as her is afraid that there will be no good future. But she is involved in the case of Nangong Jinhong's rebellion and cannot be completely relieved. It is very likely that the child will be taken away when she is born, and she will either be poisoned to death silently or thrown to the cold palace, and will never see the light of day in her life. That child may never know who his mother is.

Such a future may be something she refused to accept if she dies.

Thinking about the corpse I just saw, although there was no blood, the tragic appearance coincided with a person in my memory.

Yao Yingxue.

It’s also about being pregnant with a child and being completely disappointed.

There has never been a shortage of such people in the harem.

Just as I sighed, Chang Qing slowly said: "The emperor's descendants have always been very thin, which is also the place where I worry about day and night. I finally hoped for one, but it was like this - the emperor didn't know how sad it would be."

｜

I think Pei Yuanhao should be very sad.

But at this time, he could not show any weakness. He did not even publicly ask about Fang Zhijun's funeral. It was just that Chang Qing told him to be buried as a concubine, which obviously also received his approval.

For nearly ten days, he hadn't shown up in the harem, so naturally I didn't have the chance to see him.

In a blink of an eye, May 24th is coming.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter.

All the preparations were done, and the Supreme Emperor's body had almost recovered. I searched for a day to return to Liu's mansion and took the money that Yan Qingchen brought to him - a lot of money. Even if I held it in my hand, I was a little excited.
Chapter completed!
