Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Xu Lingmiao's heart sank.

"Then me?"

"Today the Marquis came back, and I heard the conversation between my wife and him. They are going to send you to the village in the suburbs. Mother, you should know that the people in that village have made big mistakes. If you go there, you will enter. If you are convicted of a crime, you will never be able to get out of jail for the rest of your life."

Hearing this, Xu Lingmiao's face was startled.

Then she bit her lip.

"At least mom is still alive. Although mom can't come out, if you want to kiss mom in the future, you can come and see me."

Qin Wenyan stared at her and said nothing.

Then, he seemed to sigh.

"Mom, you are so naive."

Xu Lingmiao didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

The next second, she heard Qin Wenyan say.

"Mom, you can't live anymore."

Xu Lingmiao felt her mind went blank for a few seconds.

Her eyes widened.

"Wen Yan, you...what do you mean?"

"If you become a criminal, then my life will be ruined. I can't even take part in the imperial examination. How can I become an official? How can I get ahead?"

Qin Wenyan sighed: "I finally managed to save you today and didn't let my wife hand you over to the police. I thought I could escape the fate of a criminal, but who knew that I would still have to be registered as a criminal in the end."

There was a "boom" in Xu Lingmiao's head.

Something collapsed.

She said in a trembling voice: "You begged the Crown Prince to spare me today...is it because...just to prevent me from being convicted of a crime, so as not to implicate you?"

"Of course it's more than that. You are my mother, and I definitely want you to live in my heart."

"Then...why do you want me to die now?"

Qin Wenyan pursed his lips and said nothing.

Half of his face was cut into a sharp arc by the candlelight.

The expression on his handsome face was so calm that it was almost indifferent.

After a while, he said slowly.

"Mom, if you were alive, my whole life would be ruined. Are you willing to see it?"

As he spoke, Qin Wenyan reached out and took off the gold hairpin from Xu Lingmiao's head.

placed it in her hand.

His voice was low.

"Mom, please help me."

When he was born, the old lady gave him a gold lock.

Later, when he was five years old, he pawned the lock and gave it to Xu Lingmiao in exchange for this gold hairpin.

When he was young and handed the gold hairpin to Xu Lingmiao, she cried and laughed, hugging him tightly and not letting go, crying and calling "Yaoer" over and over again.

This golden hairpin was one of the few lights in her dark and hopeless life.

But now, Qin Wenyan wants to use this golden hairpin to end her life.

Xu Lingmiao trembled her lips, tears falling down.

Her heart felt desolate, and a layer of deep despair surged over her.

This kind of despair is heavier and heavier than today when I think I will be convicted and sentenced to death.

It was so heavy that she could hardly breathe.

Qin Wenyan called out again.

"mother."

Xu Lingmiao came back to her senses.

She turned her head and looked at the boy in front of her.

Then he slowly reached out his hand and touched his face.

There was deep reluctance in his eyes.

"Is it true that... if your mother dies, your life will be better?"

Qin Wenyan was silent for a while.

Then, he nodded slowly.

Xu Lingmiao smiled sadly.

She laughed so hard that tears rolled down her face.

Her youngest son, the son she protects so much that her heart aches to the bone...

Now he has to trade her life for his own future.

Since he wants her dead.

So……

Xu Lingmiao suddenly raised her head and picked up the gold hairpin.

She gritted her teeth and inserted it hard into her throat.

In an instant, blood surged out like a fountain.

Everything happens in an instant.

A few drops of blood splashed on Qin Wenyan's eyebrows.

His pupils trembled slightly.

Then, it was back to normal.

Xu Lingmiao opened her eyes wide. Desperation and severe pain made her tightly hold Qin Wenyan's sleeves.

A "ho ho" sound came from his throat, as if he wanted to let out a final scream.

But only more and more blood came out.

Her eyes widened, staring blankly and desperately at the dark roof.

The light in his eyes gradually dissipated.

There was deathly silence in the dark woodshed.

After a long time.

Qin Wenyan's low call came.

"mother."

No response.

The flickering candlelight cast his shadow on the wall, making him look lonely and gloomy.

Qin Wenyan slowly reached out and gently held Xu Lingmiao's hand.

These hands fan him in the summer and keep him warm in the winter.

Now, the warmth is disappearing little by little, eventually becoming a cold corpse.

"Mom, thank you."

Qin Wenyan murmured lowly.

He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, then slowly stood up and walked towards the door.

He opened the woodshed door.

Seeing the scene in front of him, his footsteps stopped instantly.

I don't know when the courtyard was already filled with people.

Qin Juan and Lu Qiong stood at the front.

Qin Chengxuan was sitting in a wheelchair, and next to him was Shen Ruoxi, who had left the house long ago!

Qin Wenyan had a bad premonition in his heart.

The next second, his eyes turned red, he threw away the candle in his hand, and fell to his knees with a "pop".

"Master Marquis, madam... hurry up, save my mother!"

Hearing this, Lu Qiong's expression changed slightly.

She ordered the butler beside her.

"Robo, take someone in and take a look."

Luo Bao nodded and took the two servants to the woodshed.

It came out after a while.

His face looked a little solemn.

"Master Hou, madam, Xu Lingmiao is dead."

"died?"

Qin Jun frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at Qin Wenyan aside.

Tears welled up in Qin Wenyan's eyes.

he sobbed.

"No, it's not true...my mother can't die..."

Qin Wenyan's voice was sad.

However, no one responded.

Lu Qiong stared at him coldly.

"Qin Wenyan, why are you here?"

"I was worried about my mother, so I wanted to come over and see her, but I saw that she couldn't think of anything and wanted to die. I couldn't stop her..."

Lu Qiong's eyes showed suspicion.

"Xu Lingmiao didn't seek death when her crimes were exposed today. Now that I've told her to let her live, why can't she let it go?

Qin Wenyan, I have always thought you were very smart, but I didn’t want you to make up such a clumsy lie today! "

Qin Wenyan couldn't believe it.

"Ma'am, are you doubting me?"

Lu Qiong said nothing.

But the sharp eyes said it all.

Qin Wenyan seemed a little anxious. He turned his head and looked at Qin Chengxuan aside: "Where is the Crown Prince? Crown Prince, do you also doubt me?"

Qin Chengxuan looked at him steadily.

Suddenly said.

"Wen Yan, let me ask you again, do you really not understand medical skills?"

Qin Wenyan was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips: "I don't understand."

"You really don't understand?"

"don't know……"

Hearing this, Qin Chengxuan's eyes flickered, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Qin Wenyan whispered.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Shen Ruoxi spoke.

"Master Biao, it's a coincidence that today I passed by the door of Shopkeeper Lu's medicine shop. The shopkeeper told me about you, saying that you had come to help Du Yishan get medicine, and you could also remind the apprentice that red peony root was missing. If Master Biao doesn't understand, Doctor, how do you know medicinal materials?"

"I followed my mother, and I did know a few medicinal materials, and I did help Du Yishan get the medicinal materials. So what, what does it mean?"

Qin Wenyan looked at Shen Ruoxi with burning eyes.

"Miss Shen, I grew up in the Hou Mansion. The prince treated me very well, and I have always treated him with respect and closeness like an elder brother. Don't make any assumptions about me based on other people's words!"

Hearing this, Qin Chengxuan smiled.

With some sarcasm.

"Are you really making wild assumptions?"

"Your Majesty, you don't believe me either, but you believe an outsider?"

Qin Wenyan looked at Qin Chengxuan with great shock and sadness in his eyes.

After a while, he seemed to laugh a little self-deprecatingly.

"Now that I don't have a mother, you still doubt me so much. It's not enough to force my mother to die, but you also want me to die..."

He suddenly took out a dagger from his sleeve and pointed it at his chest.

Qin Chengxuan frowned.

"What are you going to do?"

"Since you don't believe me, then I have no choice but to die to prove my innocence!"
