C53 (2/2)
During this period, the nobility also successfully gave birth to another dragon, but this time the imperial harem was shrouded in grief from the early death, which made the happy event less joyous. But after all, this was the second dragon, and the emperor was thinking of the death of his three sons and one daughter, and worried that the dragon vein of the Great Qing might continue, so he started with the name of 'Baoqing', hoping that the heavens would protect the Dragon Heir women of the Great Qing.
For the past few days, the empress had been grieving alone and had not seen anyone. As it was rare for her to be willing to see Rong'er, Rong'er entered the room and looked at the empress's haggard appearance. His hair was not tied into a flag as he casually draped it over his shoulders. The empress was no longer crying like before. She just sat there in a daze, watching Rong'er enter and calling out to him, ”Rong'er.”
”” Rong'er looked heartbroken. Ever since I was born, the smile on the empress's face grew wider. Now that I've lost my vitality, it's been a huge blow to the empress. ” Elder sister, Cheng Ao is no longer here, you have to take note of your body. ” Rong'er said with a pained expression.
”Rong'er, these days I've been thinking, why would the towel be tightly wrapped around her? She's been sick recently, so why would she be so careful? This is a prince, how dare she be so careless? ” The empress's voice was low, but her eyes were brimming with tears. ”Besides, this wet nurse was carefully selected by the Internal Affairs Bureau. She said she is very experienced.”
”Has anyone else been in my sister's room?” Rong'er asked.
The empress was deep in thought as she slowly spoke. ”Only Zhang agreed to come over after lunch. She's been coming to chat with me for the past few days …” The empress looked at Rong'er. ”But there's no way she'd harm you.”
Rong'er seemed to be deep in thought. He nodded and said, ”Hmm, Zhang Qinghong lost his wisdom, so he shouldn't harm me. Besides, she was the one who watched over and grew up with him.” Rong'er continued, ”Has anyone else come?”
The empress slowly shook her head. ”There are also some palace maids in the palace. They shouldn't harm me. Could it really be that the wet nurse is being careless?”
”Does the Shang Fang Academy have any results of investigations?” Rong'er asked.
Tears welled out of the empress's eyes again as she said in a low voice, ”The Shang Fang Courtyard said that it was decided jointly with the imperial physician that the prince had suddenly caught wind in the middle of the afternoon and had wrapped himself too tightly, causing him to suffocate to death. They blamed the wet nurse for taking care of him.”
”Ai!” Rong'er sighed softly. Seeing that the empress was crying again, she felt her heart ache, and her tears almost rolled out of her eyes. She quickly adjusted her emotions and walked to the empress's side to wipe her tears away, softly saying, ”For such a thing to happen to Su'er, the people in this palace really grieve. But big sister is the empress dowager, so big sister's body shouldn't be lost in any way. Elder sister's mood is something Rong'er understands. ” After all, Rong'er was the one who was watched by Rong'er as he grew up. But the Emperor was right, Big Sister is the Empress, not a mortal, and the Emperor needs you. The imperial harem needs you, so in order for the Emperor to not be distracted, Big Sister must restrain her grief and be strong.
”Rong'er, now that I am dead, I will take responsibility for it. As your eldest mother, I will also take responsibility for not being able to take care of you. I am ashamed of my wife. ” The empress was weeping softly.
”Elder sister, don't think too much into it, okay?” ”No one wants this sort of thing. Besides, these small matters are handled by the wet nurse. Elder sister, promise Rong'er that you won't think too much about it for your own body, okay?”
The empress knew that Rong'er was doing this for her sake and nodded her head slightly. Seeing the empress nod, Rong'er felt slightly more at ease. ”Take a good rest with Emperor Tang Quan this time. Big Sister will definitely have a second prince. Rong'er believes in that.”
After saying a few more words of consolation to the empress, Jia Rong'er returned to his room. Could it be Zhang Loki? Gai Rong'er thought for a while. She recalled what Zhang LEG Qi once said: ”If you don't want me to be better, then don't want any of you to be better either.” Then, she fiercely shook her head. Impossible, this is impossible, this is absolutely impossible, Hu'er was also watched by Zhang Le Qi as he grew up, how could she bear with killing Hu'er? Rong'er strongly patted her head, she must have thought about it, it should be absolutely impossible, it should be like Shang Fang Si had investigated.
At the end of February, the emperor and his wife went to the Chuncheng Tang Quan, and a short period of peace and quiet returned to the imperial palace. Rong'er was even more cautious as he took care of Sai Yin. He only hoped that the emperor would return soon.
