Chapter 62: The Death of Jinyue
On this day, Concubine Ling was taking the prince to play in the pavilion of the imperial garden. There were several eunuchs and maids watching carefully around.
Not long after, Shangguan Youlan came over with Jin Yue and her face unhesitating. Concubine Ling stood up and bowed lightly, "I have met the Queen."
At Concubine Ling's signal, the prince also met Shangguan Youlan sensibly.
"Sister Ling Fei, you can just play with your own business and don't worry about me. I haven't seen the prince for a few days. I heard from the servants that the prince and sister Ling Fei were together, so I came over to take a look. There was nothing else.
Something." After sitting down, Shangguan Youlan said in a very friendly manner.
Sensing Shangguan Youlan's abnormality today, Ling Fei's eyes flashed with vigilance, but then she smiled and said: "Queen, it's my concubine's fault. The prince originally wanted to go to the queen's palace, but the emperor felt that
My concubine’s foot has not fully recovered yet, and she feels bored when she is alone. That’s why I asked the prince to stay with me. I hope the emperor won’t be offended.”
"Mother, my son feels that Concubine Ling is injured and should spend more time with her. Doesn't my mother often teach my son how to care for others?" The prince stood next to Shangguan Youlan, his face serious.
Shangguan Youlan touched his head with loving eyes and said with a smile: "Chen'er is right. Your mother once taught you to learn to care for others. Now that Concubine Ling is sick, Chen'er should care for Concubine Ling."
Empress."
Seeing that his behavior was affirmed, the prince's unparalleled handsome face finally broke out into a bright smile.
"Okay, Chen'er, you can go somewhere else to play. The Queen Mother has a few words with Concubine Ling." She touched the prince's head lovingly, and Shangguan Youlan turned around and ordered: "Jinyue, take the prince with you.
When you go out to play, remember to be careful."
Jin Yue responded, respectfully holding the prince's hand and leaning against the beauty on the side, serving her carefully.
After they walked away, Concubine Ling asked with a smile on her face: "Queen, do you have anything to tell me?"
"Sister Ling Fei, although you have injured your foot, you are so proud of yourself. The Emperor can no longer see anyone else except you." Shangguan Youlan looked down at her newly trimmed nails with a slight hint of laughter in her tone.
Sourness.
Concubine Ling smiled faintly, poured a cup of tea with her slender hands, and said in a calm tone, "Empress, this woman always has a fresh period. I thought that the emperor must have liked the empress. However, as time passed,
, the emperor is just a little tired, it’s a normal thing.”
Concubine Ling said so calmly that Shangguan Youlan's eyes almost burst into flames, but she still had to try her best to pretend to be amiable, "My sister is right, but I feel that no matter how young and beautiful my sister is now,
, you will eventually grow old one day, right?”
Putting a cup of tea gently in front of Shangguan Youlan, Concubine Ling said with a faint smile: "Empress, it's a pity that I have a face that the emperor likes very much. Even if I am old, the emperor is still the same.
Will like it.”
Shangguan Youlan's fingers holding the tea cup have gradually turned white, and the blood on her face has gradually faded, "Tell me, who are you? Who are you? You are Mu Ling'er, right? You are Mu Ling'er, don't even think about it.
You have deceived me, you are her, I felt it the first time I saw you. I will go and tell the emperor now, you are Mu Ling'er!"
"Empress, if I were you, I would not tell the emperor." Concubine Ling was not moved at all, "The emperor likes people like her, so if she really comes back, what do you think of the emperor?
What will you do?”
Shangguan Youlan almost collapsed on the ground, her face was extremely pale. Concubine Ling was right. Even if she knew that Concubine Ling was Mu Ling'er, she didn't have the courage to tell Mo Qingyue.
If she did that, it would only make Mo Qingyue completely forget her, and she would not even be able to keep her current status.
"Concubine Ling, you are so confident." Shangguan Youlan's hands trembled slightly and she managed to calm down, "Whether it's you or Mu Ling'er, I never want to see you."
Concubine Ling smiled faintly, her tone still calm, "Empress, my concubine has been in the palace for a while, and I feel that you are not too favored. Anyway, you are the queen now, so take care of yourself.
Isn't it better to sit in your own seat than anything else?"
"Are you threatening me?" Shangguan Youlan's face suddenly turned cold, and there was already anger in Shangguan Youlan's eyes, "When I and the emperor shared weal and woe, you didn't know where you were, and now it's your turn to teach me a lesson.
The palace is here!"
Concubine Ling smiled calmly, "Empress, I have been here for a while, and I have heard some gossip that the Empress was originally the concubine of the former emperor, but for some reason she became the concubine of the former emperor.
The emperor's queen. Also, some gossip actually spread rumors everywhere, saying that the former emperor was poisoned to death by you, the queen..."
"You are so audacious that you dare to slander me. Aren't you afraid that I will go to the emperor to sue you?" Huoran stood up, and Shangguan Youlan couldn't bear it anymore.
Concubine Ling's expression did not change at all, but she used her slender fingers to protect her heart. She looked at her with a beautiful little face and said softly: "Queen, these are just hearsays from my concubines. You
Why are you so angry? People who don’t know would think that you have really done these things, Queen!”
"You..." Shangguan Youlan was so angry that she pointed at Concubine Ling, her body was trembling, her face was pale, but she didn't know what to say.
This concubine looked soft and frail, even speaking in a soft voice, but she could suddenly drive her crazy with anger.
At this moment, Jin Yue was heard screaming, "Prince, be careful!"
This cry seemed so sudden that Shangguan Youlan and Ling Fei both turned to look at them. At this glance, both of them were almost scared out of their wits.
It turned out that the child was playful and did not dare to control her because of Jin Yue. The prince had climbed onto the beauty's backrest and was walking forward crookedly.
The pavilion was originally built relatively high from the ground, and since the prince was standing on the backrest, it was even further away from the ground. If he accidentally fell off the backrest, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Chen'er, be careful." Both of them suddenly stood up and ran towards the prince's direction, looking anxious.
But he said that the prince had no idea how dangerous his current situation was. Seeing that the two of them were worried, he found it amusing, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, Concubine Ling, look at it, is it fun or not where I am standing?"
"It's fun, Chen'er, come down quickly, it's very dangerous up there!" Both of them nodded hurriedly and replied in unison.
But Jin Yue, who had been waiting for him, seemed dumbfounded at this moment, standing aside coldly, frightened and at a loss, and she didn't even know how to react.
The two of them stood nearby and stretched out their hands towards the prince. The backrest was some distance away from the outside, and for a moment they couldn't reach the prince.
The child still didn't know what was going on. Seeing the anxious looks on the two people's faces, he found it amusing. He giggled and walked tremblingly outside.
"Chen'er, don't move, don't move..." Both of them were startled, and they shouted in unison.
Perhaps the shouts of the two people finally awoke Jinyue from her fright. She immediately climbed up towards the beauty and said, "Prince, don't be afraid, my servant is coming soon."
Seeing the nervous expressions of the three people, the prince also realized that something was wrong and stood there blankly. Unexpectedly, when he stopped, he lost his balance, his little body was shaky, and he was about to fall.
"No..." Concubine Ling exclaimed and rushed over suddenly. Shangguan Youlan was stunned for a moment, and then also rushed over.
If the prince moves any further, his life will be lost if he leaves!
Just when the two people rushed over, Jinyue also grabbed the prince's body and shouted in surprise: "Prince, the servant is here..."
At this time, Shangguan Youlan and Ling Fei both reached out to the prince. In a panic, someone's footsteps moved. As soon as Jin Yue pushed the prince to them, her body suddenly fell down.
.
The back of the chair was originally high, and there were big blue stones underneath. After Jin Yue fell down, she didn't even have time to scream out, and her brain was immediately shattered by the fall, and her face turned to death.
Concubine Ling tightly covered the prince's eyes with her hands, but her little face could not help but turn pale with fear.
Shangguan Youlan, who was standing next to her, had a flash of pride in her eyes, but she exclaimed, "Jinyue, Jinyue..."
Her cry was pitiful, and she was about to climb up immediately. Only then did the serving maids and eunuchs react and stopped her forcefully.
"Don't stop me. I want to see Jinyue, Jinyue..." After being stopped by several palace maids and eunuchs, Shangguan Youlan didn't seem to give up. She still kept twisting and trying to break free.
The bondage of everyone.
At this moment, Mo Qingyue hurriedly walked in, walked a few steps in front of Ling Fei, and asked anxiously: "Are you okay? Is Chen'er okay?"
"Your Majesty, we are fine. It's just that the Queen's personal maid is dead, and the Queen is seeking death and survival." Seeing Mo Qingyue's anxious expression, Concubine Ling's eyes warmed up, and she immediately looked towards Shangguan Youlan.
Shangguan Youlan didn't seem to be aware of Mo Qingyue's arrival, she still cried and wanted to go down to see Jinyue.
Mo Qingyue's brows immediately furrowed tightly. He walked up to Shangguan Youlan with his hands behind his back, signaled the palace maid and the eunuch to release her, and said coldly: "Okay, now they have released you.
You can go and jump down to find Jinyue."
