Rong'er thought to himself: Lord Lei left so suddenly, as if she was still smiling at everyone yesterday, and then suddenly disappeared today, and will never come back. When I saw Imperial Concubine Yi's grief that was about to collapse, my heart almost broke, Heavens, can you not be so cruel …
It was already very cold in the capital city in November. Rong'er sat on the warm brick bed and felt a wave of fear. Tears rolled down her face and she gently wiped them with a handkerchief. However, she realized that she could not wipe them clean no matter how much she wiped.
”Mistress, why are you crying again? You better be careful not to cry too much.” Little Qing lightly sighed as she consoled from the side.
”Xiaoqing, I'm afraid that when I arrive at the Longevity Palace later on, I'll be unable to hold back my tears any longer, so I'll have to finish crying first.” Rong'er said softly and slowly stood up. Today, Rong'er was wearing a white forging robe, lightly exhaling. He seemed to be answering the question with a whisper, ”Why is Lord Lai suffering so much …”
Rong'er finally dried his tears, slowly walking towards the palace gate. ”Let's go to the Longevity Palace. At this time, I don't need Zhang Luoluo to come with me.”
The cold wind blew, it swayed gently in the wind, it was extremely sad. Rong'er suppressed the grief in his heart and the urge to cry again entered the room, his body had already been moved outside the door of Xihua City, after which it would be suspended in the Profound Glass Sect's treasure city. After the imperial concubine's mausoleum was repaired, he would officially be at the yamen. On the table in the room was the tablet of Noble Le. This tablet could only hold her for three days. As Noble Le's position was lower, her bereavement was relatively simple. Rong'er looked around the room, and Lai's palace maid knelt beside the memorial tablet.
”Agreed. Have all of you come to pay your respects?” Rong'er asked.
”Reporting to Lord Rongzi, you have all come over, and so have all the noble people. Even Imperial Concubine De's master and master have come over.” ”Yes,” the palace maid replied softly as Rong'er nodded her head. After Senior Lei passed away, because of the unpleasantness of her body and the fact that Imperial Consort Wen had just finished her birthday, the Empress Dowager told her to take care of her affairs.
One day ago, Noble Le had passed away on the night when he had lost his baby, causing the Imperial Concubine Yi to collapse several times. Rong'er didn't even dare to think about how he came here that day, causing the palace to be filled with grief. The empress dowager and the empress dowager were both extremely shocked when they heard this, causing the palace to fall into a state of chaos. It was as if the two sisters had gone through a great ordeal of tribulations.
Standing at the door, Rong'er took a deep breath and pushed open the curtain. When the palace maid at the door saw Rong'er enter and was about to greet her, she waved her hand and said, ”Go tell your master that I'm here.”
Not long after the palace maid went in, she came out with red eyes and said: ”Rongzi, Mistress has asked you to come in. There are many people who came to see Mistress today, and Mistress has already replied. Please advise her not to be too sad.
Rong'er nodded. ”Where's Little Brother?”
”Yesterday, Aunty Su Ma came. She brought Brother Yin, Princess Zhiteng, and Fuju's newlyweds to the empress dowager's palace.”
Rong'er let out a light sigh and walked into the Eastern Warm Pavilion, where Imperial Concubine Yi was staying. Imperial Concubine Yi was lying on the bed with a pale face and round eyes.
”Yilan …” ”Sister Rong …” Rong'er called out softly, the Imperial Concubine Yi turned to look at her, her eyes were lifeless, after a long while, she started to tear up, ”Sister Rong …”
