Ten years between the flick of a finger, how can I expect my lover to be so different;

At this time, when Jingzhi was about to die, the other sisters were also grieving.

In the palace, the consultant was reporting to Xuan Ye about Rong'er's deference to his concubine.

"Did your concubine cry very bitterly?" Xuan Ye asked casually.

"That's right, Your Majesty. You don't know, this servant sent Lord Rong back to the palace and never stopped crying along the way." The counselor said in a low and sad voice.

Xuan Ye nodded and was silent for a long time. Then, he raised his head and asked, "Did the Empress Dowager say how to grant her death as a concubine?"

"Yes, sir." "Yes, sir." The consultant whispered.

"Tomorrow morning, you'll go ask the empress dowager. Tell her that I still have a shadow over the idea of strangling myself and that I should give her the poison wine instead. Granny should agree."

"Yes, this servant will go first thing in the morning." The consultant replied with a nod.

"Right now, go and find Liang Jiu Gong. There is something that I want the two of you to do." Xuan Ye said in a low voice.

"Yes, your servant will go now!" The counselor acknowledged him and quickly left the room. Xuan Ye lowered his head, lost in thought.

"Yiner, go prepare some fruits and pastries. Prepare three incense sticks as well." Rong'er whispered to the palace maid beside him.

"Yes." Yin'er nodded and walked down.

Su Ya sighed softly. Today was the day that Zhi Zhi was bestowed death. When morning came, Master had found a white forging suit to change into, and now he was also preparing the Joss Flame Fruit cake. He was definitely going to pay homage to Jing Er, "Master … "You …"

Rong'er chuckled lightly. "Jing`er left alone. I am praying for her in this palace. With the incense accompanying her, I won't be hungry on the road."

"Mistress, a private sacrifice is a violation of the palace rules." Su Ya softly reminded him. Now that her master had lost the protection of the Emperor, she was truly afraid that someone would stare at her and harm her master.

"I know." Rong'er smiled faintly. "This isn't considered a sacrifice. It's just setting up some fruits and pastries. There's no harm in it."

As she was speaking, Little Qing opened the curtain and entered. "Master, I've just heard news that a consort is pregnant." With that, he secretly glanced at Rong'er's face. Rong'er smiled and nodded, "Then send someone to congratulate me. Now that I'm grounded, I can't leave this Yikun Palace and can't head there in person." Rong'er lamented in his heart. One life was about to be born, but the other life was about to come to an end.

Xiao Qing and Su Ya looked at each other silently. Xiao Qing sighed secretly, after the matter of respecting her concubine, her master had a cold, while the noble and concubine sisters were pregnant, and the Noble Lady De had given birth to a prince. She heard that Bu Chang Zai, who had just entered the palace, had been tricked by the Emperor a few days ago …

"Xiaoqing, when are you leaving?" Rong'er raised her head and looked at Little Green.

"Noon, poison wine." A hint of sadness also appeared on Xiaoqing's face.

Rong'er nodded, a trace of sadness flashing through her eyes.

The sky had already turned dark, and Rong'er was still sitting quietly. She hadn't said a word since noon, when she was certain that Jing`er had been killed. She sat quietly on the warm brick bed like this. Lunch and dinner were useless. She knew that from now on, her heart was lonely, that of the wives in the palace, only Jingzhi was closest to her heart, that her heart was cold now, that everything was over, that all the scenes from when she had broken into the palace flashed before her eyes. She suddenly felt that she was missing the filial queen, that perhaps she had never stopped missing her all these years, and now Jingzhi was going to accompany her.

At dusk, Yin Ruo Lan came in. She looked at Rong'er, who was sitting blankly on the warm brick bed, and softly called out, "Big sister."

"Ruo Lan …" Rong'er looked at him absentmindedly as he said in a daze, "Jing Er …" "Dead …"

Ruo Lan nodded, choked with sobs, and said, "I went to find Wei'er just now, she … I used to think she was a very considerate person, but seeing her cry like that is the expression of her true nature. I know I was wrong about her. " As she spoke, two streams of tears rolled down her face.

Rong'er, who had been enduring his grief, couldn't control his emotions any longer. Tears also rolled down his face as he said, "You, me, Xiu-Er, Jing`er, all of us entered the palace in the same year and were fortunate enough to become the emperor's women. But why did Jing`er leave us like this? Rowan, I'm really sad."

"Elder sister." Ruo Lan stepped forward and embraced Rong'er. "Jing`er will pay you back with blessings. She isn't a bad person. She didn't mean to offend the Son of Heaven. The heavens will be merciful."

"Ruo Lan, is Ling Qiao`er very sad while crying?" Rong'er looked up.

Ruo Lan nodded. "Very sad. I didn't expect her to be such a sentimental person."

Rong'er also nodded. "That's right. Maybe we all misjudged her."

"She also said that she was going to worship Buddha with me from tomorrow onwards. She would pray for the honor of our family." Roran said.

Rong'er smelled the faint scent of incense and felt the calmness of her heart. Zhilan was right, Jing`er said before that this was her release, she would definitely get a blessing in return …

"Ruo Lan, we need to live a strong life. We need to live a good life. Only then will Jing`er feel at ease …" Rong'er muttered.

"Right, live well!" Ruo Lan nodded heavily, suddenly thinking, "Elder sister, did you hear about it today? And the concubine is pregnant. "

"Yes." Rong'er replied.

"Because of Jing`er, the Emperor no longer doted on you like he did before. Have you thought about what to do with you?" "Don't be too sad. If you want to find satisfaction in your heart, then join me in worshipping and chanting Buddhist scriptures." Ruo Lan said softly.

"To Buddha? I will bow, but for the time being I will not take her as the most important thing. " Rong'er stood up and wiped away the tears on her cheeks. She said softly, "I want to raise Prince Rong and Prince Zhi properly. They are my hope for survival."

"If only I could have a son …" Rowland murmured.

"Ruo Lan …" Rong'er realized that she had lost her tongue, so she quickly stepped forward to console her.

Ruo Lan gently shook her head. "Rong'er, it's fine. I trust Lord Buddha. My two children and I have no mother and son. This is Ruo Lan's life …"

Looking at Ruo Lan's face that was no longer young, with a faint sense of tranquility on it, he thought to himself silently, Ruo Lan, if Buddha can be your religion for your entire life, allowing you to live a happy life, then, living like this isn't a bad thing at all …

"Has Liang Jiu Gong left the palace?" Xuan Ye whispered to the consultant shop in front of him.

"Reporting to the Emperor, everything is going well. We've already left the palace." The consultant replied.

"I hope Liang Jiu won't go down the drain?" Xuan Ye said with worry.

"Your majesty, you chose him to do it because he's smart. Don't worry, he'll do it well. If nothing goes wrong, he'll return to the palace tomorrow morning." the counselor whispered reassuringly.

"No one else knows about this, right?" Xuan Ye asked.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. There won't be any problems when the two of us do things." The consultant replied soothingly.

Xuan Ye nodded. "Once he returns tomorrow, let him see me."

"Your servant commands." The consultant responded loudly.

A gust of spring wind blew, and the candles in the palace swayed and flickered, just like Xuan Ye's heart, unable to stay calm …
