The Fengxiang Palace where the queen lived was hung with white silk today, the coffin of the prince was placed in the center of the mourning hall, and the queen in white was sitting kneeling in front of it.

She looked like she hadn't slept all night, and her eyes were dark and black. She had to keep a vigil for her child for seven days.

At this time, the maid came to the side of the queen, the mourning hall should not be noisy, so the maid said in a low voice:

"Empress, Imperial Concubine Shuxian is here to visit."

The queen's dilated pupils slowly condensed, and the maid helped her up.

The imperial concubine Shuxian is wearing very simple and elegant clothes today. Seeing the queen's current appearance, her heart trembles slightly. She has a child, so she naturally understands the queen's mood, and she empathizes with the queen and said:

"The crown prince passed away. I definitely don't want to see the queen like this. Please take care of the queen's health."

It's just that the queen who heard this sentence couldn't help crying again. The imperial concubine Shuxian was a little at a loss when she saw this. The queen took the maid's handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and cheered up a little.

"The imperial concubine is here to guard the prince's spirit, please come in."

The imperial concubine Shuxian did not refuse. She and the queen returned to the mourning hall together. The imperial concubine Shuxian put incense on the prince who died young, and accompanied the queen to kneel in front of the coffin to guard the spirit of the prince.

"Only you are willing to accompany the prince with Ben Gong."

The Queen's words made Imperial Concubine Shuxian feel guilty. If she didn't want to come here to find out some news, she would not have come here so early. A prince who died early is of no use to everyone in the harem. Most of them will only come here for a formality. The same is true of the imperial concubine Shuxian.

But now seeing the queen like this, she couldn't help feeling pity for her own child, she couldn't say what she had thought about long ago, and finally she just said:

"The death of the prince is also the pain of the whole Dayu, but the concubines know that the queen is in more pain than others, so how can they not come to accompany the queen to walk through this scar."

Hearing this, the queen lowered her eyes, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.

That's right, when a child dies, and white-haired people send black-haired people, the one who hurts the most is always the biological mother, which is a piece of flesh that fell from the mother.

After crying for a while, the queen came back to her senses. She naturally knew that the imperial concubine Shuxian was not only keeping her vigil with her, but also had other reasons, so she waved back the palace servants.

"Imperial Concubine is so kind, I thank you on behalf of the Crown Prince."

The imperial concubine Shuxian understood the queen's meaning, and said in silence for a moment:

"I don't know if the queen has heard about the fire in Prince Bin's mansion last night."

The fire burned all night, and the entire palace was burned, and those who failed to escape were buried in the flames.

The queen had heard about this incident, and probably guessed what the imperial concubine Shuxian wanted to ask, she lowered her head and threw the thing in her hand into the brazier, and the flames rose, slightly roasting the queen's fingertips.

"Presumably Princess Bin is blessed and fateful, so nothing will happen."

With the Queen's words, Imperial Concubine Shuxian felt relieved, and could go to her father's business. The next moment, the Queen spoke again.

"It's just that the palace is gone. I don't know if Princess Bin has a place to live now..."

When the noble concubine Shuxian heard this, her heart immediately became aroused. What does the empress mean?Could it be that the queen knows who took Princess Bin away?

Just when Concubine Shuxian was about to continue to ask the truth, the palace servants walked in.

"Empress, the eldest princess is here."

Following the voice, Imperial Concubine Shuxian saw a court lady with a somewhat familiar appearance, who seemed to be the person next to the queen, and she was also the court lady who sent the news.

The eldest princess's sudden visit interrupted the imperial concubine Shuxian's continued inquiry, and she and the queen went to meet the eldest princess together.

In the past, the eldest princess was lowering her eyes in deep thought, and only raised her head when she heard the voice. She was also a little surprised to see the imperial concubine Shuxian, as if she didn't expect that the imperial concubine Shuxian was here.

For some reason, Imperial Concubine Shuxian had an intuition in her heart that maybe she and the eldest princess came here because of one person.

But the eldest princess saw that the empress had specially sent someone to invite her, and the imperial concubine couldn't stay for a long time, so she had to leave first.

Stepping out of the Queen's Fengxiang Palace, Imperial Concubine Shuxian looked back, maybe she could discuss with her father, the eldest princess and the queen seemed to be able to help them rescue Princess Bin.

When Imperial Concubine Shuxian thought of this, she felt certain in her heart, and her pace of leaving was a little faster.

Inside the mourning hall of Fengxiang Palace.

The eldest princess also put incense on the prince, and the queen had important matters to discuss with the eldest princess, so she didn't let the palace servants in.

"I am sorry for your loss."

The queen looked at the coffin in the middle of the mourning hall, her eyes were slightly out of focus, but quickly focused.

"I'm looking for the eldest princess for one person."

The eldest princess thought for a while and asked, "But the third prince?"

If the queen wanted to support her only remaining child, the third prince, the eldest princess would have a dispute with the queen, and she couldn't bear to see the mother who had just lost her own child cry.

But the queen shook her head, and the eldest princess looked puzzled.

If not for the third prince, then for whom?Could it be...

The eldest princess cheered up suddenly, but she didn't dare to think about it.

But it turned out to be the eldest princess's idea.

"Prince Bin's mansion caught fire last night, and the princess is missing. Does the eldest princess know?"

Hearing this, the eldest princess looked at the queen with complicated eyes.

"What do you mean, Queen?"

The queen's eyes were clear, "I want to tell the eldest princess that Princess Bin is the only person at the banquet who wanted to save the prince. I will remember this kindness."

The eldest princess choked her throat, and the queen continued to say:

"If you can help Princess Bin, I will be obliged to do so."

The queen looked at the prince's spirit card while talking. She was not only trying to repay Princess Bin's kindness, but also hating the queen mother and the emperor.

If they hadn't blocked Princess Bin at that time, perhaps their children would not have died because of this. Princess Bin represented Prince Bin's mansion and Prince Bin, and Prince Bin was a thorn in the side of the queen mother and the emperor. a feeling of.

The eldest princess understood what the queen meant, and followed the queen's line of sight to look at the prince's spirit card. She couldn't help feeling sorry for a moment, but she was also glad that the queen's resentment was caused by the death of the prince, so she got the queen's help.

After thinking about it, the eldest princess sighed softly, and said: "There is a pair of calligraphy and painting presented by the prince in the princess mansion, but I am too dull to appreciate it, so why don't I give it to the queen."

When the queen heard this, she suddenly turned her head to look at the eldest princess, and replied two words choked with sobs.

"Thank you."

The eldest princess couldn't bear to look into her eyes, there was so much sadness in those eyes that she was almost drowning.

After a stick of incense, the eldest princess left from the queen, and just as she was about to leave the palace, a familiar voice suddenly came from beside her.

"Princess stay here."

Looking back, it was the imperial concubine Shuxian who came in a hurry, because her steps were a little hasty, and her hair was a little messy.

"The imperial concubine is in such a hurry, but what's the matter?"

Concubine Shuxian calmed down after standing still, and then glanced around.

"May I ask the eldest princess to move?"

The Eldest Princess agreed, and followed Concubine Shuxian to the side. After avoiding the sight of outsiders, Concubine Shuxian talked about her reason for coming.

"Is the eldest princess entering the palace for Princess Bin?"

Hearing this, the Eldest Princess' expression changed, remembering that Imperial Concubine Shuxian once helped Shen Yang unintentionally, thinking about it now, it seemed more like she came to help Shen Yang on purpose.
