Chapter 404: A single bet

The wet nurse nodded and then said, "But Madam, we haven't discussed it with our family this time, otherwise, we'd better talk to the master and the eldest son first..."

"No need! Mister, it's not that I don't want to believe in my father and brother anymore, but this time, I was in trouble and lived in the imperial temple for so long, but they only cared about choosing a beauty for the emperor to enter the palace to be favored, and never cared about the condition of the palace. It's false to say that I have no complaints in my heart! Since the parents and brothers in the family already feel that I am useless, why should I bother them again and make them feel that this daughter is useless and stupid?

The nursing mother did not dare to persuade him again. Only after a moment, he muttered, "The grievances in the mother's heart are seen by the old slave. Therefore, this time, the old slave has not heard from home at all..."

"Well, Mother, I know that now that you are the most considerate to me. Don't worry, we are not involved in this matter, let alone be held by others. At that time, even if it doesn't work, it has nothing to do with us. You don't have to worry too much.

That being said, the guest who has been immersed in the deep house for many years still feels a little uneasy. She thought about it and didn't know what the problem was. Finally, she had to shake her head, comfort herself a few words, and then went out to call someone to serve the queen and go to bed.

On the day of the funeral of Empress Dowager Nalan, the harem was sad. When Zichu walked out of the door of the Magnolia Palace with Ning Hua's hand, he could hardly see the white condensation.

"Mother, they all said that we are going to say goodbye to our grandmother today. Where did the royal grandmother go? Why do so many people send it?"

For the question raised by the young Ning Yan, Zichu could only bend down, stroked her daughter's delicate and smooth face, and sighed, "Well, the imperial grandmother has gone far away and can't come back for the time being. Let's see her off together today. Because of her dignity, she is not only the mother of your father, but also the most noble woman in this dynasty. Therefore, today, not only are we going to see her off, but also many people who are going to see her off..."

Tears, with grievances and anger, fell down at this inappropriate time. Seeing her mother crying, Ning Yan seemed to feel a little distressed and stretched out her hand to wipe it for her. She said puzzledly in her delicate words, "Mom, what's wrong with you? You have never seen you cry before. You are very sad, aren't you?

Zichu hugged his petite daughter, nodded with some choking, and then shook his head and said, "No, my mother is not sad. You should be good for a while. You must not talk nonsense in front of everyone, okay? If the eldest prince cries, you will also cry with him. Because your grandmother has been away from us for a long time, we, as children and grandchildren, should naturally be sad..."

Ning Yan nodded as if she didn't understand, but this time she stopped talking. Just looked at their mother very seriously. Seeing this, Linglong and Qiaoyi quickly took Ning from Zichu's hand and said to Zichu, "Princess, it's cold outside. You'd better take a sedan chair! The maidservant took the princess to sit in the back. It's getting late, and it can't be delayed any longer.

Zichu nodded and looked up at a piece of plain ashes in the sky, but there was more indescribable hesitation in his heart.

Along the way, sitting in the sedan chair, I saw that the palace was full of plainness and whiteness, which was better than the snow in the twelfth lunar month, as if winter came early. Yihe Palace is even more sad all day long, drifting along the wind and drifting all over the sky, as if it could reach the ears of everyone in the harem, which makes people sad.

Zichu only felt very uneasy, but he didn't know where this uneasiness came from. Although since the emperor came that night, she knew that there must be some blame for herself on the day of the funeral. But after thinking about it, she really had nothing to feel guilty about, and she had never really been afraid of it. Even Jun Yuchen didn't open her mouth.

After all, the one who has passed away is his biological mother, and the one who has prejudied himself is his only father. These days, he only cares about staying in the mourning hall every day, and people have been haggard and thin. However, she is pregnant and can't be with her all the time, and her daughter Ninghuan also needs to be taken care of, so Zichu can only go to the mourning hall for an hour or two every day. If she stays longer, even Jun Yuchen will order someone to send her back. Therefore, for Zichu, if you can't let Jun Yuchen be distracted now, don't let him be distracted. No matter how difficult it is, he can survive it.

I thought in such a trance that I soon came to the outside of the mourning hall of Yihe Palace. At this time, the yard was already full of kneeling on a large black head. Everyone bent down and knelt down. Because it was Yi and the palace, it was the wives and daughters of the imperial court and officials who came to treat the funeral. Everyone was slightly surprised when they saw their son get off the sedan chair. However, when Zichu's eyes swept towards him, he quickly lowered his head and continued to cry sadly.

I understood from the beginning that these days, the gossip about himself outside must be wonderful. But she doesn't have the energy to care about this now. Fortunately, someone in the crowd soon came to her and saluted, "Sister, you have lost a lot of weight..."

At first glance, it turned out to be Song Zilan. At that moment, he nodded and whispered, "I'm fine, but you came to the palace so early. Where's your husband? But over there?"

According to the palace rules, Yi and the palace were divided into two halls inside and outside at this time. The women can only kneel in the inner courtyard and wait for the empress dowager's coffin to follow behind the funeral team. Therefore, there is no man in the inner courtyard at this time. Even those ceremonial officers who serve are also eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Song Zilan nodded and said, "My husband is also busy these days and has never closed his eyes. I wanted to come to see you the day before yesterday and talk to you, but my husband said that now the harem is under martial law, and no one is allowed to go in and out at will, so..."

Zichu nodded slightly when she heard the words. She knew that now, her words and deeds must be under heavy surveillance, so she could only say to Song Zilan, "I'm fine. Don't you think I'm doing well? Come on, let's kneel first, so as not to be seen and criticized.

After saying this, Zichu remembered that her daughter Ninghuan had been behind her, hadn't she? Why have you been standing here and talking for a long time, but Linglong and Qiaoyi have never brought her in?

She felt a chill in her heart and quickly turned her head and said, "Where's the princess? Come and find the princess and ask Linglong and Qiaoyi to bring her here quickly!"

"Yes, princess."

Seeing that the maid beside him had quickly gone to inform the bodyguard, Zichu turned his head, but said worriedly, "What's going on? Linglong and Qiaoyi said that they wouldn't know the importance. Is it because the child was naughty again and went to play halfway?

Song Zilan persuaded him, "I don't think so! Or did the sedan chairman go to the wrong place and go to the outer courtyard?

Because Ning Yan is still a child, it is not rude to go to the outer courtyard. Zichu listened to her and hummed, but he still couldn't help but feel a little at ease.

After a while, after she and Song Zilan had knelt down behind Empress Zhang and the concubines, the maids of Yulan Palace really came in and replied. After learning that her daughter was indeed induced to go to the outer court by the eldest prince, Zichu sighed slightly and said, "I know, you go and inform Linglong and ask her to bring the princess back quickly."

"Yes, princess."

The maid was ordered to turn around and pass it on. At this moment, someone hurried in from the outside and said, "Princess! It's not good, Your Highness Ding Wang... There's something wrong!"

When he heard that something had happened to Jun Yuchen, Zichu was shocked and suddenly got up and asked, "What's wrong?"

The maid was also a palace member of the Magnolia Palace. After coming in at this time, she ignored the many harem masters present, but went straight to Zichu and whispered anxiously, "Just now, the maidservant followed Sister Menglian. After seeing that Sister Menglian had asked Aunt Linglong, she wanted to come back with her. But the maidservant slowed down a few steps without noticeing it for a moment. Later, a little girl suddenly ran in with a pale face and hit the vase on the side. The movement was so big that it suddenly attracted the attention of the maidservant. The maidservant had been to the other courtyard of Mrs. Nangong with the princess before, so she met the little girl and recognized her as the maidservant beside Miss Song San. Then the maid asked her what was wrong. The little girl stuttered, but the meaning of the words was to determine the two of His Royal Highness and the Third Miss..."

Speaking of this, the maid's face suddenly became ugly.

"What did you say?" Zichu asked, and the first idea that came to his mind was that Song Ziqing had another moth!

It's also true that I ignored her. According to this, Song Shi'an is now winning the limelight in the court. As the daughter of the right prime minister's mansion, Song Ziqing can attend such occasions. When I saw Song Zilan before, I didn't think of this layer!

But...it should be impossible! Jun Yuchen is alert. Even if Song Ziqing wants to trick him, he can't succeed. What's more, what's the situation now? During the empress dowager's funeral, no matter how bold Song Shi'an and Song Ziqing are, it should not be possible to have an accident. However, she always has something in her mind.

"The little girl said, saying that she saw Her Royal Highness Ding enter a side hall, and then... Then not long after, Miss Song San also followed in... Then there was a moaning sound from the side hall..."

The maid was a little difficult. Seeing that Zichu's face changed dramatically, she hurriedly said, "Princess, Your Highness will definitely not!" However, the little maid made a lot of noise and attracted the attention of the whole audience. After listening to her words, she asked which side hall it was, and then rushed over one after another. I felt that something was wrong, so I tried to intercept it and came to you quickly! Come up with a way!"
