Although she was pregnant, she still insisted on accompanying Rong'er and the others as they kept Ruo Lan's spirit tablet. The other imperial concubines had also visited to see if Ruo Lan had died from saving the prince, so it was a meritorious deed for her to die. Thus, the empress dowager had personally sent Su Ma La to pay her respects, and told the Ministry of the Interior to bury Ruo Lan peacefully as well.
After that, they would stop outside the palace for three days and wait until the yamen's mausoleum was repaired before they would officially settle down at the yamen. Three days later, Ruo Lan's memorial tablet was removed, and all the offerings were gone. Ruo Lan's room was still the same room, but there was no longer any trace of Ruo Lan's voice or smile in that room …
After three months of careful care of Ruo Lan, Rong'er suddenly felt empty inside, and she suddenly felt powerless.
”Mother, don't be too sad. Be careful not to hurt your body.” After Ruo Lan was born, Rong'er was busy taking care of Ruo Lan, and he was also very sensible. He assumed the responsibility of taking care of Yin You, so he did not give Rong'er any extra heart, ”Eldest mother, didn't you say that you went to become a god in the sky?”
Rong'er raised his head. His daughter was about to turn thirteen, and her figure was gradually becoming blurry … Blurred... The scene in front of him seemed to have returned to the day nineteen years ago when Rong'er had entered the palace …
”I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Are you alright?” A sweet-looking girl of about 13, dressed in a light blue silk dress, hurriedly apologized to Rong'er …
The girl patted her chest. ”I'm so nervous, so nervous,” she said. ”I, Ama, said that if you choose to enter the palace, you can see the emperor. Do you want to see the emperor, sister?” I really want to see the emperor. If I can be blessed by the emperor, I can become his master! ”
”My name is Yin Ruo Lan, I am an envoy from the capital, what about you?”
”Elder sister, let's go together. I'm really nervous. Oh yeah, I've always called you elder sister, how old are you?”
”I'm 13, it really is big sister, let's go quickly!”
Her every frown and smile was still the same as yesterday. She was the first person Rong'er met after entering the palace … A person who had accompanied him for nearly twenty years …
Rong'er chanted in his heart, ”Ruo Lan, thank you. From the first day I entered the palace, I felt your warmest and most intimate friendship …” ”Ruo Lan, you are my good little sister. I will never forget you …”
Rong'er seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He suddenly frowned and pondered for a moment. Then, he raised his head and looked at Rong Zheng. ”Xian'er, how high is today?”
Rongxian looked at his first wife with concern. ”Twenty-fourth of August,” he replied after a moment's thought.
”24 August …” Rong'er thought to himself. Then, the day of the death of Orchid was the twenty-first of August? August 21st … As he pondered, he suddenly felt hot tears rushing down his face …
That summer nineteen years ago, Ruo Lan was blessed by the Emperor, while Kang Xi was blessed by the Emperor. In August 21, five years ago, Ruo Jin agreed and officially became a little lord … That... This should be the happiest time of Ruo Lan's life in the palace. August 21st, facing the torment of pain. Ruo Lan had endured until this day, August 21st …
Tears came to her eyes, and she wept with them, and she kept wiping them for him, and her heart ached so much that she could hardly breathe, and she knew that there was a kind of love that was expressed in silence, and that Roran loved the Emperor so much that she endured the pain in her body and struggled to keep herself alive, only waiting for a memorable day to come. However, this was a friendship that the Emperor would never understand or cherish … The attitude she had shown in the palace over the years had put a stop to her life: using her silence to wait, to express her last feelings …
For one, she really liked the image of Yin Ruo Lan. There were some people who, after being wronged and hurt, would use a more vicious heart and a vengeful heart to take revenge on others, but there were others who would put it down, look at it, use a calm heart to face it, and be magnanimous. Yin Ruo Lan's love for Xuan Ye was that deep, so the opposite of 'love' might not be 'hate'.
