614,
"You..." When the words came to my mouth, Mrs. Zheng Si couldn't ask.
So what if it is a coincidence, so what if it is not a coincidence. None of these matters anymore. Just look at the queen who is forced to take Xu Shu with her side. Xu Shu is also involuntarily. The key to everything lies with the queen, but the queen is not something she can guess. All she can do is not cause trouble for Xu Shu. "You are exhausted, go and have a rest! When the queen wakes up, I will call you!"
Xu Shu shook her head, whether she was tired or not was second. The key is that this matter has reached this point and there is no conclusion yet. She cannot relax no matter what, and asked, "Where is the old lady?"
Mrs. Zheng Si was stunned. Then she remembered that the old lady came. She saw Xu Shu stumble into the hall. When she was anxious, she couldn't care about anything. Thinking that there was a mess outside now, there were guards searching for the whereabouts of the eldest prince. The Empress Dowager probably didn't dare to dismiss everyone so soon. "The old lady should still be in Yunzi Palace! Go and rest. Once the old lady comes, no one can think of peace!"
"Madam Yuan will stop the old lady!" If the queen saw this dying look, she would have to cry. Not to mention whether she was sincere or not, just saying that she would arouse the queen's sadness again. It is not advisable to let the old lady see the queen at the moment. Madam Yuan has been there for so long but has not come back yet. She might have been waiting outside. Madam Yuan is worthy of being the one who brought into the palace from her parents' home, and she knows the old lady's temper very well.
"It's good to stop me! If the old lady starts to make a fuss, I will be wiped out even more guilt!" Mrs. Zheng Si shook her head, "When I accompanied the old lady to the Empress Dowager to thank her earlier, the Empress Dowager was quite dissatisfied with the Zheng family and warned the old lady a few words, when did the old lady have been treated like this? Especially after the Empress was pregnant, the old lady... was unhappy and put it on her face... I was so careful that I was compensated in the back!" Fortunately, the Empress Dowager was also a person who wanted to be respected and did not make things difficult for her. She said a few words without any pain and let her go, otherwise she would be afraid that she would not even be able to catch up with the banquet.
As the eldest prince grew up, the Deng family finally decided to put all the bargaining chips on the eldest prince. Just when the Deng family decided to assist the eldest prince, the queen suddenly became pregnant again. Perhaps it would be a prince that the emperor hoped for. If the queen really gave birth to a prince, it would be the legitimate prince. Even if the eldest prince was the eldest son, he was born in the end. How could the concubine be compared to the legitimate son? The Deng family's ultimate benefits would be greatly reduced. As the supreme representative of the Deng family's power, he did not want the queen to give birth to a prince. However, as the emperor's mother, the Empress Dowager had no way to attack his grandson, so he could only transfer the depression in his heart to the empress's parents' family. The emperor rewarded the Zheng family at this time. How could the Empress Dowager not take the opportunity to suppress the Zheng family's arrogance? The old lady was arrogant and unaware of it, she naturally hit the gun.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mother!"
"Silly child! As long as you are well, my mother will not feel the hard work!" Mrs. Zheng Si touched Xu Shu's head and pressed back many words without asking. She believed that Xu Shu would not harm her, nor the Zheng family. She believed that what she saw with her eyes and felt in her heart. Xu Shu was a good child...
"Cough..." A faint coughing sound came from the bed, and the queen woke up.
Xu Shu immediately turned her head to look, and she saw the queen's eyelashes trembling, and her eyeballs rolling in a mess under her eyelids. She finally opened it with difficulty. The queen opened her eyes and saw that it was Xu Shu's calm and stable face. She quickly closed her eyes with confidence again, her throat moved up and down without saying anything.
"Come on, have tea! The Queen is awake, go and notify the Emperor!"
The palace maid handed over the tea and helped the queen to feed half a cup of tea. The queen shook her head gently, and the palace maid helped the queen lie down again. The queen opened her mouth and spit out two words from her throat with difficulty, "Child..."
The word "child" instantly hit the most vulnerable part of Mrs. Zheng Si's heart. Mrs. Zheng Si turned her head sadly. She had only experienced the same pain not long ago, and she couldn't help but arouse her sadness in the face of such a situation. For a mother, losing a child is even more uncomfortable than killing her.
Looking at Mrs. Zheng Si's expression, the queen had already understood, but she did not cry. The expression on her face was surprisingly dull, "Is the child gone?" The queen clasped the quilt next to her, and refused to put her hand on her stomach to verify her guess, as if the child was still there if she didn't verify it.
"The child is gone..." the queen said softly, and her hand holding the quilt gradually exerted force, and tears in the corners of her eyes instantly burst out. Even though she knew that she would lose this child sooner or later, when she really lost it, the pain was still much more painful than she thought, and it hurt so much that she could not breathe, and even breathing felt as painful as a knife.
"Please mourn me!" Mrs. Zheng Si wanted to comfort her, but she couldn't speak. Just like when she miscarried, Xu Shu couldn't speak words to comfort her. Such pain was not something she had experienced in person, and no one could share it.
The queen closed her eyes like that, tears dripped down the corners of her eyes on the pillow, and the bright yellow pillow surface was soaked in tears, but she refused to cry out loud.
"The Emperor is here!"
"Empress!" The emperor quickly walked around the screen and went to the queen's window. Xu Shu and Mrs. Zheng Si immediately avoided. As soon as the emperor arrived, the queen could no longer hold it back and cried out loudly, "Empress, my child is gone..."
"I……"
Mrs. Zheng Si shook her head and sighed and pulled Xu Shu outside. Sure enough, she saw Madam Yuan waiting in the corridor with the anxious old lady Jun. When she saw Madam Zheng Si coming out, the old lady rushed up and asked, "How is the Empress?" As soon as Mrs. Zheng Si and Xu Shu left, the old lady could not stay in the hall, not to mention that Xu Shu's words shocked the people present to have no intention of having a banquet.
Didn’t the old lady ask this knowingly? Listening to the heart-wrenching cry of the queen in Nei, you should know how the queen is. Mrs. Zheng Si shook her head, "The emperor is here to accompany the queen!"
"Emperor..." The old lady wanted to speak but stopped, but the expression on her face had already explained everything. Now the queen is no longer pregnant to rely on. The eldest prince is the only prince of the emperor. At this time, even if the emperor still pitys the queen for losing her son, the balance in her heart is actually inclined to the eldest prince. Otherwise, why has it been so long and the eldest prince still had no news? Can't even find so many imperial guards? Or have they already found it, but they refuse to hand it over due to the situation?
A group of guards suddenly came in outside the palace gate, with a familiar figure mixed in between. It was the eldest prince!
