The beauty is delicate and soft, and he madly criticizes the powerful officials for taking her as th

In the Xuanshi Hall, Pei Zhi frowned slightly, pressed his heart, and asked the chamberlain beside him: "Did the Queen leave the Jiaofang Hall today?"

After the palace attendant sent to Jiaofang Palace came back, he whispered: "Your Majesty, Chang Yu said that the empress just went to Tianlu Pavilion and has not returned yet."

Pei Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. Tianlu Pavilion was quite far away from Jiaofang Palace and close to Jianzhang Palace. He nodded and said, "Tell the people at Jiaofang Palace that if you want to pick up any books in the future, just ask them to deliver them. Why go there in person?"

Ruyi sent His Majesty's men away and stood outside the palace, glancing into the distance from time to time and turning around several times anxiously.

The empress said she was going to Tianlu Pavilion, but she didn't allow others to follow her and left on horseback. She must have gone somewhere else.

After looking for who knows how many times, I finally saw a familiar shadow. Ruyi and a group of palace people came forward and saw something was wrong when the woman in front of me was walking. Her heart was in her throat. Could it be that she fell somewhere?

Yu Tingwan saw the worry on the girl's face and smiled, "It's okay, it's just that riding a horse will inevitably make your legs uncomfortable. Just apply some medicine and it will be fine."

"Your Majesty, someone came from the Xuanshi Palace just now. The servant said that your Majesty went to Tianlu Pavilion."

As soon as Ruyi finished speaking, he saw the smile on the woman in front of him disappear. For some reason, he suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.

Yu Tingwan walked to the inner hall, saw the sachet hanging on the bed, and said to the palace attendant: "Cut it off and throw away the others."

The palace servants looked at where the empress was pointing and recognized that those things were gifts from the emperor. Their faces turned pale with fright. Yu Tingwan was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "That's it."

When there were only two people left in the inner hall, she looked at Ruyi intently and said softly: "I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. Please go and ask the imperial doctor to come over."

The girl's expression suddenly changed, and she was about to go to the Imperial Medical Office, but was grabbed by the wrist.

"Go slowly, don't be in a hurry." Yu Tingwan stood up and touched her hair, "Don't let the palace servants from Jiaofang Palace come in and disturb me."

"After Your Majesty comes here tonight, if you blame me for why no one is guarding the inner hall..." Yu Tingwan picked up her favorite teapot and threw it on the ground. She stared at the fragments and said, "You remember to say that the Queen was in a bad mood after she came back. , don’t let anyone in, and he won’t punish you again.”

Ruyi became increasingly panicked, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.

She went to the Imperial Physician's Office and said that the Queen suddenly felt a pain in her heart. The Imperial Physician's expression changed and he muttered: "Could it be a heart attack?"

"Where have you been today?" The imperial doctor picked up the medicine box and asked as he walked.

In front of the imperial doctor, Ruyi did not dare to lie and told the truth: "Your Majesty left the palace alone today and was riding a horse. No one could follow her. She seemed to be coming back from the direction of Changle Palace."

If Chen Xing was still there, he should be able to keep up, but it's a pity that His Majesty had already transferred the guards.

"Changle Palace?" The imperial physician hesitated, "There are some girls over there who are waiting to be selected by the palace."

Ruyi's expression froze for a moment, and she suddenly figured it out. No wonder the people in Tianlu Pavilion looked at her strangely and couldn't help but sneered. Everyone else in Jiaofang Palace was afraid of His Majesty, but she only listened to the Queen, so they kept it secret from her.

She guessed what Nanny Li said in the inner hall, and she also guessed what the queen saw. The girl's face was as white as paper, and Yu Tingwan sent her away. No matter what happened in the hall at this moment, she was taken out.

The queen doesn't like having too many palace people around her, and the inner palace is usually empty. How could your majesty have scolded her before, so tonight she might get angry and punish the entire palace.

Ruyi's eyes were red and her breathing was rapid. She asked the imperial physician Cheng to go to Jiaofang Hall first. She had something to ask to see His Majesty.

On the bluestone road of the long palace road, the girl ran all the way, the wind blew by her ears, and she could only hear her own violent heartbeat.

She didn't know where she had dropped her hairpin. She knelt outside the Xuanshi Palace with her hair disheveled. She grabbed the sleeves of the chamberlain outside the palace and said loudly: "I have something important to ask to see Your Majesty!"

The waiter thought that a female ghost had appeared out of the blue sky, and was so frightened that he threw away his sleeves. Just as he was about to scold him, he realized that it was Chang Yu who was beside the queen. He was a senior waiter, and he quickly said: "Feng Changyu, please tidy up your appearance. I'll go and pass the news right away." .”

Ruyi took a hairpin, tied her hair into a bun casually, walked into the palace, and gasped: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty is not feeling well."

The man behind the case threw down his cinnabar pen and stood up to go to Jiaofang Hall, "Did the Queen ask you to come here?"

"No." Ruyi raised her eyes and was scolded by the chamberlain on the side for being disrespectful. She actually looked directly at His Majesty. She didn't realize it, "Your Majesty wants to take a concubine, why should he hide it from the empress."

There has been no one in her home for a long time, and she is not afraid of the emperor's wrath at all. At worst, she will be killed with a rod, and she has already passed by the Palace of the King of Hell.

"Your Majesty, you should go to Changle Palace today." Ruyi's throat was choked and she repeated what the Queen had just said. She was afraid that the Queen would kill herself, "Your Majesty, please go and take a look."

When Pei Zhi heard the words "Changle Palace", he understood. When he rushed to Jiaofang Palace, the palace servants were already kneeling on the ground, shaking like chaff.

The imperial physician had just arrived. After entering the palace, he couldn't call the queen for a long time. When he checked his breathing, he realized that he was out of breath.

After taking the medicine, the symptoms became like heart attack and the effect was very fast.

Pei Zhi ignored those people and walked into the inner hall alone. He sat on the edge of the couch. After rejecting everyone, he lifted up the thin quilt and slowly pushed the hem of her skirt up her legs with his fingers. He stared at the marks between her legs, which were left during the night. The crimson color was replaced by a more dazzling red.

His fingers were trembling, the green horse was already strong, Yu Tingwan was wearing summer clothes, and the palace road leading to Changle Palace was bumpy. What was she thinking when she endured the pain and went back and forth between the two palaces?

Da Changqiu said cautiously outside: "Your Majesty, do you need to summon Taichang into the palace?"

"Why are you summoning him to the palace?" Pei Zhi's voice was as cold as frost and snow. "The queen has nothing to do, so let the imperial doctor go back."

Da Changqiu's eyelids twitched, and he swallowed hard the words "summoning Taichang to discuss the Queen's funeral ceremony" and lowered his head, not to offend His Majesty with any words.

"It is reported that King Jiangdu has entered the palace. As for the Marquis of Pingyang, he no longer needs to stay in Hanoi County. He is ordered to return to Beijing overnight."

"Who the Queen has seen and spoken to today will be found out in time."

At three quarters of the hour, Chi Ying walked into the inner hall and saw His Majesty holding someone in his arms. His body was as stiff as a stone statue, and he gritted his teeth and reported back all the information he had found.

The man sitting on the couch finally moved his eyelashes and his voice was a little hoarse: "Let Pei Shu enter the palace. I have something to ask her."

"Your Majesty, King Jiangdu is waiting outside." Chi Ying paused and saw Pei Zhizhong burying his face in the woman's neck in his arms again, looking like he was willing to drown in the gentle village without hearing what was going on outside the window. He closed his mouth and stepped back.

Ruyi looked at the panic-stricken palace people and said with some bitterness: "My queen treats you not well on weekdays. You just don't reveal anything at all. You work together to hide it from her. What's the use of crying now."

One of the youngest palace servants had a trembling voice, remembering the emperor's appearance just now, and said in fear: "Will your Majesty let us be buried?"

King Jiangdu, who had been waiting outside, heard these words and finally asked in confusion: "Sacrificial burial?"

Pei Jing didn't know why the emperor's brother summoned him to the palace in a hurry, or in Jiaofang Hall. The chamberlain who delivered the order also looked very secretive, leaving him confused.

I have been waiting for more than half an hour, and the imperial brother has not seen him.

Pei Jing's expression changed. Could it be that the eldest sister-in-law knew that the emperor's brother wanted to take a concubine, so something happened.

He remembered that when he was preparing for the selection, the emperor's brother specifically told the queen not to know about this matter. She didn't believe him. After finding out, she might not be able to sleep until the palace selection was over and the dust settled.

Just when Pei Jing was in a state of confusion, he suddenly heard Pei Shu's voice coming in.

"Why is third brother here?" On the way here, Pei Shu guessed that her report today had been discovered. Sure enough, as soon as she entered the palace, she saw Nanny Li kneeling. She pretended to smile calmly and asked, "Your Majesty." Where is brother?"

Pei Jing's face turned pale and he murmured: "The queen seems to be dead."
