Ban Zou was thinking, how should he answer?
All this time, Consort Yun did not accept the fact that the Seventh Prince had passed away from her heart. She did not allow the palace to set up a memorial, did not allow the servants to cry, did not allow them to wear white clothes, and did not allow anyone to mention anything about the Seventh Prince being in Zong Sui. She closed herself off, living in a world where the Seventh Prince existed, but she did not know that even though she was alone in that world, everyone could see her. Everyone was grieving because of this, and they were also grieving over the Seventh Prince's passing.
He did not know how to answer Consort Yun, but Consort Yun was still looking at him, waiting for an answer. Ban Zou could only nod, answering vaguely: "Niang niang is crying." But he did not say why she was crying.
Imperial Concubine Yun did not ask any further. She just walked forward, heading straight for the bonfire. Ban Zou was so frightened that he quickly went to pull her, but he heard Consort Yun suddenly shout in the direction of the raging fire, then her entire person collapsed on the ground, crying out loud.
That was her son! Even though he was not her biological child, when she had just entered the palace, when she was at her most desperate, she felt extremely close to this child. Xuan Tianhua was sensible from a young age, acting like a little adult when he was just over two years old. He knew that when she got into a fight with Xuan Zhan and locked herself in the palace courtyard and did not come out, he would gently wipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes, saying to her: "Niang niang, don't cry, the thing that the imperial palace does not lack the most is tears. In the future, Hua-er and Ming will accompany you, you will not be lonely. "
From that day onwards, she told Xuan Tianhua: "Don't call me Niang niang, from today onwards, I am your mother. In my heart, you and Ming are the same."
After so many years, she really treated Xuan Tianhua like her own son, and there were even times when she would feel more heartache for this child, just because he was too sensible and too gentle. What immortal? She didn't think that her son was an immortal. Xuan Tianhua was just an ordinary child in front of her. He was considerate of his mother and took care of his younger brother. He even indulged her and Ming to mess around occasionally. She had always felt that her child should always be around. At the very least, it could take care of her until she grew old and send her off. She was his mother. No matter what, she had to die first.
She sealed herself off from the outside world and refused to listen to the rumors. She refused to believe that Xuan Tianhua was dead. However, when she saw that the courtyard was on fire, when she saw that Xuan Tianhua's place had been burned to ashes, she suddenly woke up and walked out of that self-enclosed space. All of a sudden, all of the reality came crashing down on her, and she was completely defeated.
"My Hua 'er is dead," Consort Yun murmured. "My Hua' er is gone." For the first time, these words came out of Consort Yun's mouth, and it caused everyone's hearts to shatter inch by inch. It was so painful.
Consort Yun cried loudly. She refused to take a single step away from the fire. Her cries were heart-wrenching and heart-wrenching.
Gradually, everyone realized that something was not quite right. Even Ban Zou stared at Consort Yun in a daze. His face was filled with indescribable shock.
How sad did a person have to be to have a head of black hair turn white inch by inch? How much pain did a person have to be in to be able to age their appearance in the blink of an eye?
Imperial Concubine Yun had aged. Under the gazes of so many people, her face and skin that was as beautiful as a young girl's began to age at a rate visible to the naked eye. Twenty years old, thirty years old, all the way until she was truly forty years old, the aging did not stop and continued. Until a large number of wrinkles appeared on her face, until her hair turned white. Finally, her appearance stopped at the age of Emperor Tianwu.
Everyone was shocked. Everyone also regretted it. They did not think that Consort Yun actually hid such great sorrow in her heart. Once she faced reality, her body had such a huge reaction. They regretted it. If they knew it would be like this, no matter how upset they were, they should have pretended in front of her. No matter how upset they were, they should not have secretly burned joss paper at night. This was His Highness the Seventh Prince's mother! If His Highness the Seventh Prince saw all of this in the netherworld, how sad would he be? Huang Quan would also not be able to walk peacefully on the road!
But now that things had come to this, how should they persuade her? No one knew.
Tonight, Princess Ji 'an's manor was not peaceful. In the evening, Xiangrong's illness became a little serious. She coughed up three large mouthfuls of blood in a row, scaring An Shi into finding a few doctors from Hundred Herb Hall.
At that time, Ren Xifeng was also present. She had come to visit Xiangrong, but she did not think that she would see Xiangrong coughing up blood. With this delay, it was too late. She simply had a servant go back and report. Tonight, she would stay in the imperial daughter's manor to accompany Xiangrong.
Actually, even though she said that she was accompanying her, most of the time, she was just sitting on the side of the bed. Xiangrong would wake up when she was asleep. Either way, she would be awake most of the time. Ren Xifeng thought about his elder brother and sister-in-law. Then he thought about the Seventh Prince and Xuan Tianhua. He also felt irritated.
Just like this, the two would occasionally speak a little. Occasionally, one would fall asleep and the other would be in a daze. Unknowingly, it was late at night. An Shi came over to visit Xiangrong, persuading Ren Xifeng to go and rest. It was her turn to watch over her. But before Ren Xifeng could leave, Xiangrong suddenly woke up. Once she woke up, she was full of energy. She even sat up on the bed. It was just that the moment she sat up, she pulled Ren Xifeng and said: "Xifeng, quickly go and help me take a look. Something happened at Chun Palace!"
Ren Xifeng was stunned when he heard this, "What happened? How did something happen at Chun Palace? Xiangrong, did you have a nightmare? "She wanted to ask if she dreamed about His Highness the Seventh Prince, but when the words reached her mouth, she could not say it.
But Xiangrong kept shaking her head, "No, I did not have a nightmare. I did not have any dreams. But I just know that something must have happened at Chun Palace. Xifeng, quickly go and help me take a look! "
An Shi advised her helplessly: "It is night now, how can you let a girl like Xifeng wander around the streets?"
"It is … … night now?" Xiangrong was stunned, feeling that what An Shi said was reasonable, so she said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry Xifeng, I was muddle-headed and forgot that it is night now." After thinking for a while, she said to An Shi: "Then let the hidden guards in the palace make a trip! Something must have happened at Chun Palace, I will not feel at ease if I do not go and take a look. " As she spoke, she wanted to get down, but the moment she moved, she felt dizzy. She could not get down no matter what. She was so anxious that she could not do anything, "I want to go myself, but I really do not have the ability. Mother, I beg you, quickly ask the hidden guards to take a look! "
An Shi sighed, telling Ren Xifeng: "She is like this, always saying strange things all of a sudden. Sometimes, she treats the big tree in the courtyard as His Highness the Seventh Prince, talking to it for an entire day. So don't blame her, don't take it to heart. "
Ren Xifeng shook her head: "Madam An is thinking too much, Xiangrong and I are good sisters, seeing her like this makes me sad, why would I blame her." She patted Xiangrong's shoulder, telling her: "Don't be anxious, I will go and take a look at Chun Palace now, no matter if something happened or not, I will come back and tell you. There is no need to be afraid at night, just let the hidden guards in the Imperial Daughter's manor protect me for a while. "
Ren Xifeng had never thought of herself as a delicate Miss, she had been practicing martial arts with her father since young and had long inherited a heroic spirit, what was there to be afraid of walking at night? Moreover, the hidden guards in the Imperial Daughter's manor were the best, they even protected Feng Yu Heng, how could she be more delicate than Feng Yu Heng?
The matter was done immediately, Ren Xifeng brought two hidden guards out of the manor very quickly, they did not take a carriage and rode a horse straight to Chun Palace.
Actually, she did not believe Xiangrong when she said that something would happen to Chun Palace, because Xiangrong's words were completely baffling, how could she suddenly say that something happened to Chun Palace while sleeping, then something really happened to Chun Palace. Moreover, although His Highness the Seventh Prince was not around now, Consort Yun was keeping watch in Chun Palace, what could happen?
The reason why she was willing to come out and take a look was because she felt sorry for Xiangrong, because of her relationship with Feng Yu Heng, she also treated Xiangrong as her younger sister. Now that Feng Yu Heng was not in the capital and Xiangrong was so ill, as her older sister, she could not share the burden of her illness, but she could at least fulfill her wish, right? She just came out to take a look, what's the harm?
Bringing along Xiangrong like this, Ren Xifeng and the two hidden guards whipped their horses, quickly turning into the alley where Chun Palace was. But the moment they turned in, they were stunned — — "What's going on?" Ren Xifeng stared blankly at Chun Palace in front of her, the flames caused her hair to stand on end.
The hidden guards were calmer than her, but their words were also filled with extreme shock, they said: "Chun Palace is on fire. Third Young Miss' premonition … … is really accurate. "
Ren Xifeng also thought so, Xiangrong's premonition was really accurate, but since she could have such a strong feeling, it meant that His Highness the Seventh Prince was already like a heartbeat in her heart, why did that girl still reject the marriage? Consort Yun even went personally! She even started to silently count her private savings, preparing to add to Xiangrong's dowry.
Ren Xifeng's heart was in a mess, bringing the hidden guards to the entrance of the Prince's Manor, there were already many citizens who came out to watch the commotion gathered there. The citizens all knelt in front of the Prince's Manor and cried, someone said: "His Highness the Seventh Prince is gone, why is the manor on fire? This is making His Highness unable to leave in peace! "
Someone else said: "Maybe His Highness the Seventh Prince burned it himself, he wants to bring the Prince's Manor along with him, making this Chun Palace disappear from the world with him?"
Ren Xifeng could not bear to continue listening, the discomfort in her heart almost forced her tears out. She hurriedly got down from her horse and knocked on the door of Chun Palace, not long later, the person inside opened the door a small crack, she quickly spoke: "I am the First Young Miss of Pingnan General's Office, I came to visit Consort Yun, quickly let me in."
The person at the door panicked, hearing Ren Xifeng introduce herself, he did not think much and opened the door. Only when Ren Xifeng entered the manor and walked towards the direction of the flames did that person react, quickly chasing after her and saying anxiously: "Are you really the Young Miss of Pingnan General's Office? Aiya! I shouldn't have let you in, how could I so easily let a stranger into the manor? "As he spoke, he went forward to block the path, then said:" You should leave! I understand your feelings of wanting to know about His Highness the Seventh Prince's situation, but Chun Palace is not a place that random people can enter, I won't make things difficult for you, quickly leave! "
Ren Xifeng frowned, but thankfully, the hidden guard behind her stepped forward in time, handing a token in his hand to the servant to take a look: "The token of Princess Ji 'an Manor, can we enter with this?"
That servant rubbed his eyes and looked carefully, as expected, if that was not the token of Princess Ji 'an Manor, then what was it? Thus, he quickly said: "You can enter, you can enter! Of course you can enter! "
Ren Xifeng did not pay any more attention to him and began to jog. Before he had run a few steps, he saw Ban Zou come out from inside, the two bumping into each other. Ban Zou paused, looking at Ren Xifeng and saying: "You came at the right time, something happened inside, we need your help!"
