Xiao Yi and the three of them stood in front of the bed, and all the maids also heard the sound and hurried over. Bai Qing sat on the edge of Huan'er's bed, unable to cry for a long time. Everyone looked at the ring, her face was extremely pale, as if she had rubbed a lot of white powder, in this warm spring morning, her body was cold, and she had long lost a trace of popularity. Tong Lu blamed himself a little, and he couldn't stop crying,

"I should have thought of it a long time ago, I should have thought of it a long time ago, it's all because I'm greedy, and that's why I missed a big deal! Brother Xiaoyi, we should have been able to save Sister Huan'er!"

Xiao Yi patted him, squatted down again, stroked Bai Qing's back, and said,

"If we want to die, unless you and I are always by our side, how can we stop it! The most important thing now is to inform Childe and let him deal with the aftermath. Also, don't do anything rashly here, wait for me and my son to come back. ”

Everyone promised, and Xiao Yi rushed out of the door.

The sun rises in the east, and the warm sun in this spring is moist and soft, which illuminates the city of Dali with joy. The two took the lead in rushing into the courtyard, it was Gongzi and Xiaoyi, the two of them were drenched and panting. I think that the palace is not very far from this mansion, but the prince has not been here for several days, and I don't know if it is really busy with government affairs, Xiao Yi and a few people also feel that he should often come back to see his wife and children anyway, which is good, the last time he said goodbye for half a month, and when he returned, he was separated from her yin and yang. Childe rushed in the door and fell on Huan'er.

Gongzi also knew about the queen's invitation to Huan'er, but the queen didn't act excessively, and everything was normal on Huan'er's side, so he didn't care too much, he never expected that Huan'er would break off on his own. Childe hugged Huan'er's cold corpse and cried into tears, but he never said a word. Xiao Yi's heart was sour, and he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so a sensible girl went to Yan'er's House and didn't let him know about it for the time being. Xiao Songzi was still sleeping, so she was hugged out by another girl. There was one more person in this room, crying like pear blossoms and rain, it was Mrs. Sun. Gongzi raised his head for a while, he took out a white silk scarf from Huan'er's hand, Xiao Yi looked at it, about a foot square, there were a few lines of small characters written on it, the font was graceful and slender, it should be written by Huan'er himself. Childe carefully and handed it to Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi took the silk scarf and looked at it with Tong Lu Baiqing, only to see that the handwriting was clear, not as if it was done casually,

"After the birth of Xiao Songzi, the concubine only felt that her body was getting weaker and weaker, and the pain in her lower body was not stopped. The concubine knows that time is numbered, and instead of dying of illness, it is better to leave my most beautiful appearance to my son while she still has some appearance. After I left, bury me in the place where we first met, without a tombstone or worship, and let me go quietly like that. Two hard-working children, this will be handed over to the son, and the mother is sorry for them. Childe, if there is an afterlife, I just hope that we will see each other again and never know each other again. ”

There were a few tears on the silk scarf, but it didn't touch the handwriting. Bai Qing was puzzled after reading it, and cried,

"Sister Huan'er is obviously getting better, why do you still say that she is in pain every day, is it really that I am wrong. ”

As soon as the words ended, another woman ran in crying. Xiao Yi and the three looked back, but they didn't know, Childe was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, Xiao Yi had to watch her go to Childe. The woman looked at Huan'er's body, wiped her tears lightly, and knelt down in front of her son with a flutter.

"Your Majesty, it's all because the concubine said those unpleasant words to Huan'er that day, which made her embark on this road of no return. The concubine made a big mistake, and asked the emperor to punish her!"

As soon as everyone in this room heard this, they had already guessed the identity of the adult, who was the queen mother who had only entered the harem a few months ago. Xiao Yi saw that the queen was dressed in plain clothes, tall and tall, and her dress was somewhat similar to Huan'er, her eyebrows were delicate, her face was like a peach blossom, and she didn't lose Huan'er at all. The queen mother pulled the corner of her son's clothes, held one hand on her lap, and bowed her head and sobbed. I only heard Childe say sharply,

"What did you say to Huan'er, how could you hurt her like this!"

The queen mother was frightened by the tone of the child, her body trembled, and she replied after a while,

"On the day of the concubine's visit, she happened to meet Miss Huan'er, so she invited her to talk together. Ben was just a small talk, but he didn't expect Miss Huan'er to be so unthinkable. ”

Childe shouted,

"What the hell did you say, tell me quickly!"

The queen mother stopped crying and said slowly,

When I saw Huan'er that day, I was also very happy, and I chatted with her very happily. I knew that the emperor had such a good couple, but I never gave him a title because of my father's obstruction. I heard that she had given birth to two sons for the emperor, so I talked to her about the children. The concubine has followed the emperor for many years, but she has never been able to conceive the dragon seed, so she also has more attention to these two children. ”

Childe glared at the queen and said hatefully,

"Is that all?"

The queen lowered her head and said timidly,

"The concubine told Miss Huan'er that she hoped that she would hand over these two sons to the concubine to raise, and the concubine would also regard it as a ......."

"So, you let Huan'er cut herself off so that she will never be threatened!" Childe yelled.

"It's not like this, it's not like this. The emperor, the concubine only said that she was willing to give her countless gold and silver, enough for her to enjoy for a lifetime, if so, if she was willing to stay away from Dali City, the concubine could also find a good family for her......"

Childe is furious,

"So, now you're satisfied?"

The queen shed tears again,

"Your Majesty, the concubine, the concubine ......"

Before the words could be spoken, a four or five-year-old child poked his head in from the door, he looked confused, saw his father present, then trotted in, he hugged his son, and said with a smile,

"Dad, Dad, look at the bamboo dragonflies I made myself, whether they look good or not, whether they look good or not!"

Childe tried to squeeze out a smile, nodded, patted the child's young shoulder gently, and said softly,

"Good-looking, good-looking, Yan'er is really amazing. Your mother is asleep, let's ......"

Childe wanted to blindfold Yan'er, but his small body turned to Huan'er's bed. This child is also clever, and he has long guessed that something is wrong, he hugged his mother, who was cold, and called softly over and over again. Childe knew that this was the case, so he let him go. Childe helped the queen mother up, sighed, and said softly,

"You've been with me for so many years, and I hope you mean what you say. ”

The queen mother stepped forward and knelt in front of Huan'er's bed, and took Yan'er into her arms in distress. Yan'er only sobbed softly in her arms, and never shouted and cried from beginning to end. No one in the room made any other sounds, only the soft cry was heard, which was heartbreaking.

After a long time, Gongzi finally let out a long sigh and pulled Yan'er and the queen up. He lifted the quilt, picked up the stiff ring, and walked out of the house. Xiao Yi took a closer look, this ring was actually very neatly dressed, although necklaces and bracelets and the like were not like precious things, they were also small and exquisite. Xiao Yi thought to herself that Huan'er should have dressed up her life before she died, and a woman like her would die a beautiful and moving death. Xiao Yi gave Tong Lu Baiqing a look, and then followed out of the courtyard. The queen hurriedly pulled Yan'er and followed behind from a distance with all the maids, servants and guards.

Although the guards wanted to come forward to help, when they saw the expression of the son, they also knew that he would definitely not want others to help, so they had to scatter around and escort the road from afar. Childe always maintained a posture, and his face was silent, and he couldn't see joy, anger and sorrow. Xiao Yi only felt that the son at this time was extremely unfamiliar, and there was a great difference from the previous person, but after all, this was the loss of a loved one, and Xiao Yi didn't want to think about it anymore, so he had to hold on to Bai Qingtong Lu tightly, for fear that the two of them would disappear from in front of him at once.

The people on the side of the road all stopped to watch, from time to time someone pointed and discussed, and more good people followed the team far behind, wanting to come forward to see what was going on. About two hours later, Childe came to Moon Bay, which everyone was already very familiar with, Xiao Yi thought to himself, Childe and Nahuan'er were also acquainted here. There is a big mound in this Moon Bay, just like a hill, and when he came to the top of this mound, Gongzi finally put Huan'er down. He moved very slowly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the undead of Huan'er, or holding the dead body for a long time, and his hands were a little disobedient. There are three large trees here, the trunks are straight, all of them are as thick as wine jars, and the grass in front of the trees enjoys the spring color, and they are also vigorous and vigorous, and the growth is extremely gratifying. The boy walked to the middle one, and in silence, pulled out the long grass with his bare hands. Bai Qing saw that he was working hard and wanted to lend the green snake to him, but was pulled by Xiao Yi Tong Lu Yiqi, Xiao Yi and the two shook their heads slightly, and then she withdrew her hand. The queen also took Yan'er and the people in the courtyard to the mound, and all the guards were also sent down by her to guard the surroundings. Yan'er glanced up at the queen, who nodded slightly to him, and he stepped forward to Gongzi's side and pulled the weeds with him. The father and son looked at each other without saying a word, and then plucked the grass for themselves, and in a short time a small clearing was cleared in front of the big tree, and both of them had many wounds cut by the weeds on their hands. Childe's ten fingers were embedded in the soil and began to dig the soil, Yan'er followed his example, but this little hand was too tender, and it took a few strokes to dig out blood, but he gritted his teeth and insisted, not at all like a naïve five-year-old child. Childe couldn't let him stop, and his hands sped up a little. The grass roots are extremely long, which makes this mud pit easier to dig, but this foot deep pit also makes the father and son's hands bleed, and several fingernails are broken from it, which makes people unbearable to look at directly.

Childe gently put Huan'er's body into the pit, the size and length were just right, and it was custom-made for her. Childe looked at the dead body in the pit, and without saying a word, he gently picked up the soil with both hands and slowly sprinkled it on Huan'er. Yan'er was doing the same thing as his father, and everyone felt sad when they looked at it. The father and son slapped the mound with their palms before stopping. The queen came to Yan'er's side and held two small hands, very distressed. She wiped the child's hands with a handkerchief, just as Huan'er had done.

It was already noon, the sun was like fire, and the top of the mound was covered with shade, and there seemed to be a chill. The son slowly moved his steps, came to the queen's side, and took Yan'er's little hand,

"Come, kowtow to your mother again. ”

Yan'er fell to her knees and knocked down three times. He looked up, his eyes filled with tears, and asked,

"Dad, my mother was fine last night, why did she die overnight?"

Childe pulled Yan'er up and replied,

"Your mother, I was sick when I gave birth to your brother, and it is not easy to persevere until now! I will follow my father in the future, and my father will not let you suffer anymore. ”

Gongzi held Yan'er in his arms, Yan'er was almost out of breath by him, he turned his little head to the side, looked at the queen, and stopped talking. The queen stepped forward and touched Yan'er's little head, and said gently,

"Good boy, I will be your mother from now on. ”

Yan'er looked at Childe suspiciously, and whispered,

"Daddy?!"

Childe didn't speak, nodded to Xiao Yi and the three people on the side, took his little hand, and walked down. The queen also gave a small salute and followed behind her, only to hear her say from afar,

"Child, I will be called my father in the future......"

All the maids and servants in the courtyard were gone, leaving only Xiao Yi and the three of them standing on the spot. The three of them were very heavy, and sat on the ground together, sad. Tong Lu was silent for a moment, and said,

"Brother Xiaoyi, Bai Qing, I don't want to stay in Dali City any longer. ”

Xiao Yi Baiqing replied together,

"Me too!"

Tong Lu barely squeezed out a smile,

"What do you guys think?!"

Xiao Yi preemptively said,

"I suddenly felt that Childe had become a stranger, people said that a companion is like a tiger, which is not true at all, he is so indifferent to his lover, let alone others. I can't guess his thoughts, maybe one day he will turn his face and deny people, let's stay away. ”

Bai Qing nodded,

"Maybe it's because he doesn't want to show the pain in his heart, but I'm really scared of him like this. ”

Tong Lu said,

"It's not just Huan'er's death, I think what's even more terrifying is that Xiao Yan'er, a little child, can be so forbearing, if she becomes the lord of a country in the future, I don't know if she can benefit the people of the world. Perhaps, this is the king, and he can only let go if he is willing to give up. I suddenly had a strange idea. ”

Xiao Yi and Bai Qing asked together,

"What thoughts?!"

Tong Lu smiled bitterly,

"It's just a guess, maybe all of this is Gongzi's arrangement, if not, how could Sister Huan'er be willing to die, and why did the queen know about it so quickly, and Gongzi's attitude towards the queen is also very wonderful. ”

Xiao Yi Baiqing's body was shocked, and he heard Tong Lu say,

"I'm just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously. Moreover, in front of this deceased, it is indeed too irresponsible to speak like this. Brother Xiaoyi, Bai Qing, let's leave as soon as possible, my heart is very chaotic, if I stay for a while, I will definitely go crazy. ”

Xiao Yi said solemnly,

"Grandpa said not to be with the official family no matter what, now that I think about it, it's really true. Let's hurry back and pack up our things, and then say goodbye to Qin Lang, Hao Xiang, Hao Wei and Sister Yan one by one, and leave this Dali City. ”

After the three of them had finished their discussions, they gave a salute to Huan'er's grave before slowly leaving.

Back in the mansion, only one subordinate remained, and the rest had been sent to the palace. The three of them had very few things with them, and they had packed up in just a moment, and after greeting the person who was left behind, the three of them went to Sun's house next door. Mrs. Sun locked herself in the house, and when she heard that Xiao Yi and the three of them came to say goodbye, she went out. She grabbed Bai Qing's hands,

"Are you going to leave now? As soon as you leave, Childe is afraid that he will be displeased. ”

Bai Qing replied helplessly,

"Since the three of us came here, we've seen too many joys and sorrows, and it's time to leave, and I think Childe will understand. ”

Mrs. Sun's eyes were blood-red,

"The carriage at home is sturdy, and if you don't dislike it, take it away, and there will be fewer bumps along the way. ”

After saying that, Mrs. Sun gave a few words to the servant on the side, and the man set up a carriage and went away. Yahuan took the little walnut out, Bai Qing took it carefully, rubbed her face on the little walnut, and the little walnut's two small fists clenched and stretched out, as if stretching a lazy waist, which made the three of them laugh. When Xiao Yi saw that the servant brought the carriage and horses, he was not polite, put the luggage and belongings into the car, took the reins and sat on the chariot. Bai Qing kissed the little walnut on the red face, handed him back to the maid ring, and saw the small string of red walnut rope chains, and his heart was also warm. couldn't help but think about it, Tong Lu pulled her into the carriage together, opened the curtain, and waved goodbye to Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun knew the three of them, so she went with them, and when the carriage was far away, she thought that she had not prepared some food for them, and she regretted it.

Xiao Yi drove the carriage to the palace gate, originally wanting to talk to Qin Lang, but ran into Sun Baoshan who was returning in a hurry. Sun Baoshan was taken aback, and after a polite meeting with a few people, he sighed lightly and went to the palace. After a while, I saw a few people walking out side by side, Xiao Yi took a closer look, one of them was Qin Lang, there were five people around him, four men and one woman, although they were all young, they looked weird, there were big men, there were also short and fat round faces, two small eyes buried deep in the flesh, I don't know if I can see things clearly. Xiao Yi had already guessed the identities of these five people, and they were the personal disciples of Cang Qixiong. This eldest brother's apprentice died early, Qin Lang is the second brother, but he is younger, and the rest of the people also call him "second brother", but Xiao Yi also heard that these people don't seem to have a good impression of him, and they are just doing superficial work towards him, Qin Lang doesn't care too much about it.

Qin Lang knew that one day Xiao Yi and the three of them would leave Dali City, but he didn't know that this day would come so quickly. He stepped forward to say goodbye to the three of them, took out a few pieces of broken silver from his sleeve, put them in Xiao Yi's hand, and said softly,

"Brother Xiaoyi, Brother Lu Lu, Sister Bai Qing, the three of you take care all the way, this is the silver money I saved in March, although it is not much, but it is also my heart, but don't shirk it. You all know that the family teacher is on his deathbed, so I will say goodbye to my brothers and sisters here!"

Xiao Yi patted him on the sturdy back and said with a smile,

"When I go back, tell Sister Xia'er Yan that if you have leisure in the future, we will also send you some letters and the like, so that you can envy the scenery outside. Xiao Lang, where is Childe?"

Qin Lang sighed and said,

"Childe said that he already knows, let you cherish it all the way. ”

Xiao Yi nodded, looked at the five people behind Qin Lang, and with a slight stroke, Bai Qing walked closer and said,

"Xiao Lang, the medicine I prescribed can only help with conditioning, just delay it for a while, Xia'er's disease is innate, if you want to eradicate the disease, I'm afraid it's just a delusion. But don't be too discouraged, if you meet the guidance of a master in the future, there is a way to save you, and you will definitely send a letter to you. ”

Qin Lang nodded, said goodbye to the three of them, turned around and went back to the palace with the five of them. The five people never stepped forward, it seemed that they came to check out out curiosity, Xiao Yi smiled helplessly, and drove slowly towards the "wind and snow".

Hao Xiang was also shocked when he saw the appearance of the three of them,

"Let's go, you guys really have big hearts. Since Childe can't keep it, I won't say anything. ”

Hao Xiang rummaged around and found a few large pieces of marinated fatty meat. Xiao Yi was unceremoniously, took it with a smile, and put it all in the car. The three of them walked away, Tong Lu saw a thin woman standing beside Hao Xiang from the window, and couldn't help but chuckle a few times,

"It should be Master Hao Xiang's good looks, tsk, his two brothers, their eyes are really vicious, Sister Cui'er is extremely fat, but this one is skinny. ”

Bai Qing didn't realize it when he heard it, and the carriage had already come to Dongfu Building. Hao Wei came out and wanted to send some food, but seeing that there was already Hao Xiang's cured meat on the car, he thought for a moment, took out a delicate small pot, and brought a large bag of seasoning materials, and said with a smile,

"When you go out, eating is the most important thing, and you can't lose anything if you lose your stomach. This little pot has been with me for many years, and you guys have taken it all the way and made some delicious food for yourself. ”

Tong Lu thought to himself, if it wasn't for Tie Shi to take the first step, he would definitely let Tie Shi make a bite himself, and when he saw this small pot, he was really happy in his heart. Tong Lu hugged the small pot wrapped in coarse cloth and said with a smile,

"I don't need to compare in the future, Master Hao Wei is slightly better!haha!"

Hao Wei smiled and was about to answer, when Na Cui'er came to her side with a large pile of dry goods and stuffed them all into the car. Of course, Xiao Yi and the three of them did not refuse, and they smiled and accepted them one by one. Xiao Yi quipped,

"When will Sister Xiaocui give birth to a big fat boy for our brother Hao Wei!"

Xiaocui's face was flushed, and Hao Wei said happily,

"Xiaocui has been pregnant for more than two months, hehe, I'm going to be a father, we also have to be better than Hao Xiang in this regard!

Xiao Yi and the three laughed and said goodbye to the two. Out of the city gate, Xiao Yi grabbed the reins, and the three of them looked back together, only to feel that Dali City at this moment was so magnificent, much more majestic than ever. Tong Lu's eyes were moist, and he couldn't help but cry.

"I have a hunch that we may never come back. ”

Xiao Yi sighed,

"The road always has to be forward. Qingqing, Lu Lu, let's go!"

The carriage drifted further and further north, becoming smaller and then vanishing.
