The name is immortal, the king's youngest son dies again;

What crime had Rong'er committed? Why were the fourth son being punished in succession?

It was a pity that there was no trace of warmth as Rong'er knelt in the buddhist hall of the Baohua Palace. His face was pale, and tears were already streaming down his face, while his body was trembling nonstop. Rong'er clenched his teeth, tightly pursed his lips, and stared at Buddha unblinkingly, constantly asking in his heart: ”Buddha, please tell me, what did I do wrong? Why are you treating me like this! ”

Xiaoqing, Su Ya, and Jingzhi stood beside her, lightly sighing. Their eyes were bloodshot as they wiped away the tears in their eyes.

In the morning, news came from the Shoukang Palace. Like his brother, Cheng Rui, the prince had been unable to escape from this fatal injury and died in the early morning. In three months, he would be two years old. Yet he had left this world forever.

When Rong'er heard the news, he immediately fainted. The emperor didn't come, he only ordered that Noble Lady Rong s were not allowed to see the prince, and that the Internal Affairs Bureau would arrange for the prince's funeral, leaving the Noble Lady Rong s to grieve. Rong'er woke up. Knowing that he couldn't go to the Shoukang Palace, he came to the Buddhist temple. It had already been two hours since he had knelt down.

”Rong'er!” ”Get up. You just gave birth to Zhi Wei, and his health is still very low. If you keep kneeling like this, you won't be able to take it anymore.”

Rong'er gently shook his head and continued to stare at the Buddha statues in the hall. The Buddha statues worshipped by Baohua Hall were Shakyamuni, Gengyin Bodhisattva and Amitabha, and the three Buddha statues all had their eyes closed with a peaceful expression on their faces. Rong'er murmured softly, ”What was wrong with Rong'er? ”In my previous life, I was born with a sin. If that was the case, then I would have to repay it myself. Why are you treating my children like this?” Rong'er muttered as he gradually lost control of his emotions. His voice also became louder and louder.

She hurried forward and embraced Rong'er. ”Rong'er, calm down. Can you calm down a bit?”

”No!” Rong'er suddenly stood up and shouted, ”The heavens are too unfair! Why do you have to treat me like this? How unfair! How unfair!” Rong'er looked at Lord Buddha, and a hint of hatred suddenly arose in his heart. ”If Lord Buddha is unable to protect them, what's the use of them?”

”Rong'er!” Upon hearing this, Zun Zhi immediately clasped his hands together, looked down at Lord Buddha, and said, ”Buddha, don't blame me. I just lost my child, and my mother is in grief. Please forgive me for offending you, Lord Buddha.” After Wang Jingzhi finished speaking, she looked towards Rong'er. Xiao Qing and Su Ya had already supported Rong'er, whose legs had gone limp from kneeling for a long time.

”Rong'er, don't be like this. Calm down a bit, this is not your fault. This is the fate of the princes. Do not offend Buddha ah!” Rong'er allowed the tears to flow down her cheeks. The grief in her heart assaulted her. What about the Emperor? Why didn't the Emperor come to see me? Why didn't the Emperor appear? Rong'er asked in his heart.

During the entire night, he accompanied Longevity by his side and took care of him with Toya. He saw with his own eyes that the prince's life was leaving him bit by bit, and his heart was breaking, but when morning arrived, he actually felt as if he was going to collapse. Although he had already experienced the pain of losing his son several times, this child had been named ”Longevity” because his only wish was for him to grow up. Xuan Ye didn't even know how he left the Palace. He hid in the Palace and left the matter of Longevity in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He didn't dare to see Rong'er, nor did he want to see anyone.

”Your Majesty! Do you think we should have lunch? What if you don't use your meal to get injured? ” the consultant asked cautiously.

Xuan Ye woodenly shook his head. ”Consultant shop, bring me some wine.”

”Your majesty, you want to drink?” The Consulting Firm knew that the Emperor had never liked drinking, and he often spoke of the chaotic nature of the royal ball.

Xuan Ye nodded. ”I'll let you have it.” He felt that he was in great pain. He could not let himself wake up. He thought about the prince's early death and the fact that he could not face Rong'er's grief. Thus, he chose to flee, even if it was only for a short period of time.

He thought back to the time when Cheng Rui had died, and he had once wanted to use the wine to dispel his worries. After drinking, he had favoured Dong Sishu, but he had no choice but to face this matter, and since the beginning of the battle, he had realized that wanting to use alcohol to dispel his worries was actually a very foolish thing to do, because drinking couldn't change anything. Thinking of this, Xuan Ye put down his wine cup with a heavy heart.

”Consultant shop, take charge of the storage palace.” He would have to face whatever he had to face sooner or later. In the past, when other princes died early, he would feel sad, but she always thought that comforting the concubines of the princes was just giving them some rewards. But Rong'er, he cared about her feelings.

Ling Xiu-Er looked at Xuan Ye's disappearing figure at the door and turned her head towards the wine cup in disappointment.
